Xiao Chen looked at them, then at the statue, confused. He approached the statue that they were pointing at, then knocked the head of his weapon on it, which produced a clanking sound. "What's wrong? It's just a statue." he stated as he continued knocking his weapon on it. He had the statue behind him as he asked for an explanation from his companions.
"The statue... It just moved... Look, it moved again." Adhalia pointed her finger at the statue behind him again with a look of distress and worry. "Move?" Xiao Chen questioned as he turned around, only to see an unmoving statue. He turned around again and face the three. "What are you talking about? Statues don't move." he said as he winded up his weapon and struck the statue behind him with all his strength.
"Kiek!"
"Rrr..."
The statue that he just struck caught his weapon with its stone arms, then growled at him. "Scratch that, it really moves." he said as he retreated a few steps back. The statue that he just tried to strike unsheathed a blade from the stone sheath on its side, then slowly approached them. The other statues also did the same as they brought out their weapons while moving towards them.
The tentacles on the face and back of the statues started dancing around while they moved forward. "Draegh'ana, you take the one on the left, Adhalia the one on the right, I'll take care of the ones on the enter and Grogus, go hide." Xiao Chen muttered as he spun his weapon in his hands to gain momentum before swinging it forward to smash against the two statues in the middle.
The targets of Xiao Chen parried his attack, but they were sent flying away with how strong his attack was. They crashed against the walls and some parts of their bodies cracked. "I guess you guys are not as tough as I thought." he grinned as he spun his spear around once again and brought it down on top of the head of the statue that was first to get itself out from the walls.

The statue that he just struck got its head shattered to pieces and the fragments that they make up his head flew everywhere. "That's one down..." he muttered, but he jumped back quickly as he evaded the strike of the headless statue that continued to move with a missing head. He stared at the headless statue for a few moments. "Let's see if you will still move if I turn you into piles of rubble..." he whispered then charged forward with all his might and rammed the statue back before giving the other one a kick that sent it flying backwards before crashing against the walls one again.
"Take this!" he shouted as he brought the flat side of his enormous weapon's head onto the torso of the headless statue. He pummeled it repeatedly with the flat side of his spear and reduced the torso of the statue into small pieces of rocks that scattered everywhere. "Oh, no you don't..." he shouted as he stepped on the blade of his pinned down opponent, preventing it from raising its weapon and attack him with it.
He had his opponent pinned down and was at his mercy. Looking behind him, he saw Adhalia dancing around the statue that she was fighting and evading its attacks. The female human was having a hard time as her weapon wasn't suited to fight something that is entirely made of rocks, her piercing strikes never did any real damage except for the shallow holes that was done by her needle-like weapon which was all over the figure of the statue.
Glancing to the other side, he saw Draegh'ana hurling fireballs at the statue that she was up against, but just like Adhalia, her attacks did no damage except for turning the color of the statue into black. Their opponents were made of rocks and there was no way that it would feel the heat and fire is ineffective against them except if it was a fire that is so hot that it would melt them. Looking further at the back, he saw little Grogus hiding behind a rock, who was peeking at the progress of the fight from time to time.

"Got any ideas on how to defeat them!? Xiao Chen shouted at Grogus while he brought down his weapon against one of the legs of the statue that he just pinned down. The other statue that he just sent flying was stuck against the walls and still trying to free itself out from the cracks that it was trapped on.
"Look for an orb or something! They must be constructs that were created to guard this place!" Grogus shouted back before retreating behind the rock that he was hiding on as he evaded one of Draegh'ana's blades that was flung back by her opponent.
"Orb... Orb... Orb... Where is it?" Xiao Chen muttered as he looked around at the figure of his opponent. He even turned around the statue that he was currently fighting to look for the orb mentioned by Grogus after failing to spot one on the front of the statue. And he was right. There was an orb on the back of his opponent's head, which he missed. The orb was just about a few centimeters down the nape of the statue.
"I hope this works..." he muttered as he slammed his weapon down against the orb and shattered it to pieces. Just like Grogus had said, the statue that was struggling under him ceased its movements as it remained still.
"Look for an orb and shatter it. That is what is powering them and allowing them to move!" Xiao Chen shouted at the two ladies as he charged towards the statue that was still stuck. The orb was on the forehead of the statue and he didn't have to look for it, as it was easy to spot. He pierced the orb and shattered it to pieces, and along with the orb was the head of the statue. Xiao Chen demolished its head, and the statue fell down on the ground with a loud crash.
Upon seeing their chieftain brought down his opponents by shattering the orb that was on their body, the two ladies scanned their opponents to look for their weakness.
Adhalia grinned as she quickly spotted the orb on the figure of her opponent. She clicked her tongue as the orb was on the crotch of her opponents, disguised as one of the balls of the statue. Shaking her head, she kneeled down on one knee to avoid the horizontal slash of her opponent and thrusted her weapon forward and pierced the orb that was disguised as one of the balls of its foe. The orb started to crack slowly before shattering into small pieces. Adhalia's foe fell down on the ground, unmoving.
Draegh'ana climbed on the shoulder of her foe and there she saw it. The orb was on the top of the head of the statue. It was no wonder that she was never able to spot it after dancing around her opponent to evade its attacks. She pummeled the orb with the hilt of her sword and destroyed it before flipping backwards. and landed gracefully on the ground like a swallow.
