Chapter 446
Chapter 446 - Silver Flame
Everyone promptly agreed with Fire Dance’s opposition .
They acknowledged that Shi Feng possessed frightening combat power . He was so powerful that he even suppressed the Rare Lord ranked Crimson Shadow Wolf in a direct confrontation . They, too, had previously thought Shi Feng might be able to oppress even a Great Lord by force, and that by the time they arrived at the Ruined Shrine in White Fog Canyon’s core, they would have a chance of defeating the Level 25 Great Lord there .
After all, a Great Lord’s loot was simply too tempting . It was especially true for a Level 25 Great Lord, as the Level 25 equipment it dropped was precisely what the core strength of the various Guilds needed right now . If they could obtain an Epic item, both the Guild’s strength and morale would improve significantly .
However, now that they stood before Anubis’s Gatekeeper, they suddenly felt very tiny .
A Great Lord and a High Lord were from different worlds entirely .
Escaping a Great Lord’s wrath would be a miracle, much less defeating it .
Admittedly, a treasure hidden behind a Great Lord would be precious . However, if Shi Feng tried to snatch the golden stone tablet, there was more than a 99% chance that he would be throwing his life away . This was simply not a worthwhile tradeoff .
Moreover, heavens knew if the teleportation array would still work after Shi Feng stole the stone tablet .
On the off chance that it didn’t work, they would all die here…
“Guild Leader, why don’t we come back after we’ve grown stronger . It’s not worth risking your life for an unknown treasure,” Aqua Rose advised .
“You guys leave first . I’ll try it by myself . If it really isn’t possible, then we’ll come back in the future,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head .
Although what Aqua Rose had said was logical, none of them knew the significance of the golden stone tablet under a Great Lord’s protection .
In his decade of adventuring in God’s Domain, the treasures he encountered that had been guarded by Great Lords were at least Epic rank . Obtaining an Epic item was definitely worth dying once . If he came back for it in the future, there was a possibility of someone else claiming the golden stone tablet . After all, the Land of the Fallen Star was not particularly hidden .
When everyone heard Shi Feng’s determination, they had no choice but to obediently head towards the teleportation array and prepare to leave the Land of the Fallen Star .
However, just as Aqua Rose was about to activate the teleportation array, her hands suddenly froze as cold sweat began to drip down her forehead .
Even the others at the teleportation array with her wore grim expressions . It was as if they were preparing to welcome a great enemy .
That cold and intense killing intent felt like they had been dunked in ice-cold water, and they suddenly struggled to breathe .
“Guild Leader, if we activate the teleportation array, the Gatekeeper will attack,” Fire Dance whispered as she glanced at Anubis’s Gatekeeper hovering in the air .
“We really have no options,” Shi Feng laughed bitterly .
He currently had Omniscient Eyes active, so he felt the Gatekeeper’s chilling gaze as well . As soon as Aqua Rose activated the teleportation array, Anubis’s Gatekeeper would strike .
It usually took close to 20 seconds to activate a teleportation array . If the person activating the array moved during this period, it would automatically shut down .
Twenty seconds .
That was enough time for a Level 30 Great Lord to kill hundreds of players, much less a measly party of six .
As this place was unique, they could not use Return Scrolls to leave, either .
In other words, if they wanted to leave, they needed to survive the Gatekeeper for 20 seconds . Either that, or they could level here until they died or simply die now and lose some EXP, Skill Proficiency, and a piece of equipment .
If they did not wish to lose any equipment, they could remove everything they currently wore . That way, none of their equipment would drop . At worst, there was an extremely small chance of an item dropping from their bags .
“It looks like I can only give it a try!”
No matter how Shi Feng considered the situation, he could not think of a decent solution . He was also unable to utilize the terrain to his advantage . Although the passage they came from was narrow, Anubis’s Gatekeeper wasn’t so large that it could not follow him .
Now, the only way the team could leave safely was if he lured the Gatekeeper away . Otherwise, with the strength of a Great Lord and his extremely wide splash range, no one would survive .
“Fire Dance, get ready to activate the teleportation array . If the Great Lord’s splash damage affects you, use Vanish or Wind Steps to block it . As long as you do not move, the teleportation array will not shut down .
“I’ll kite the Gatekeeper first . Focus on your timing, you guys . ”
With that, Shi Feng activated Windwalk and dashed towards the golden stone tablet .
Anubis’s Gatekeeper immediately shifted his sight to Shi Feng .
When Shi Feng was only 10 yards away from the stone tablet, the Gatekeeper suddenly vanished from above the altar before immediately reappearing in front of the golden stone tablet .
“Instantaneous Movement!” Aqua Rose gaped at the Gatekeeper, disbelief filling her gaze .
A Great Lord that knew Instantaneous Movement . . . could any player escape its slaughter?
“Such a powerful aura . ” Fire Dance’s expression turned grim .
Anubis’s Gatekeeper had initially been 90 yards from the party . Now that the Gatekeeper was less than 40 yards away from everyone, its ferocity was on full display .
“Trespassers of the Holy Land, die!” the Gatekeeper revealed his fury as he glared at Shi Feng . Suddenly, the Gatekeeper raised his right hand . In the next moment, a pitch-black spear as tall as Shi Feng appeared in the Gatekeeper’s hand . The Great Lord then swung the spear towards Shi Feng .
Xiu!
A spear of light sliced through the air and arrived before Shi Feng .
Not taking any risks, Shi Feng crossed his swords and used Parry to block the attack .
The instant the spear of light collided with the two swords, the impact forced Shi Feng’s hands apart and sent him flying over 20 yards away .
The group standing at the teleportation array was stunned .
Every Zero Wing member present was familiar with Shi Feng’s Strength .
Even in his normal state, he could contend with a Lord of the same level . Yet, now, just a touch from the spear of light, which was far weaker than the Gatekeeper’s black spear, had thrown Shi Feng so far .
Just how frightening was the Gatekeeper?!
“As expected of a Great Lord . Even though I have the combat power of a Tier 2 class, it is not nearly enough . ” Shi Feng smirked as he looked at his thoroughly numb hands .
If not for the fact that Parry could negate the Gatekeeper’s damage, he would have lost at least three to four thousand HP .
However, Shi Feng had only received the Gatekeeper’s attack because he wished to test its Strength and evaluate the Great Lord’s combat power .
Now, Shi Feng had a general grasp of the Anubis’s Gatekeeper’s combat power .
Tier 3 intermediate combat power!
The Great Lord would be able to beat a Tier 3 player like a dog .
However, even after striking Shi Feng, the Gatekeeper showed no signs of stopping as it turned towards Fire Dance and the others .
“Trespassers of the Holy Land, die!”
Emitting a low growl, the Gatekeeper stretched out its left hand . Suddenly, a silver flame condensed in his palm .
In the blink of an eye, the originally fist-sized flame grew into a large fire the size of a house, and even Shi Feng, who stood over 20 yards away, felt a stinging pain from the temperature .
