Chapter 1651: 1651
Chapter 1651 Guardian Spiri
Golden Growler went sniffing around the ground . It seemed to be tracking Blood Dog’s scent, and after a while, it began running forward .
Broken stone buildings were everywhere, and their presence there made Han Sen frown . Golden Growler kept moving, and after a hundred miles, there was a large number of stone tablets scattered across a clearing .
The stone tablets weren’t tidily placed, and many of them were even upside-down . But they were the only objects in that place that featured text .
Han Sen made Golden Growler slow down . Due to the fact that Golden Growler had to follow a scent to stay on track, he reeled him in a little . If he continued, it’d be hard to find Blood Dog .
Han Sen observed the tablets that featured ancient text; the sorts of languages Han Sen had learned long ago .
Some parts of the tablets were missing, but many were still readable .
“Imir defeated . ” Han Sen thought that was strange . There was only the name of someone and the word defeated . The tablet didn’t look like a gravestone, but it didn’t look like a memorial plaque, either .
Han Sen found it odd . He didn’t know who the supposed Imir character was .
Han Sen checked out a few of the other tablets that were nearby . One of them said, “Veles defeated . ” Aside from the change in name, all the others were the same, as well .
Han Sen frowned and continued checking out the other tablets . They all seemed to contain a name, and the word defeated after . “Ji defeated, Gautama defeated, Marily defeated, Ginger defeated, Brahma defeated, Zeus defeated . ”
All of those names were on the tattered tablets, but there was nothing distinguishing about them . They did give him a cold feeling, though, and it made him feel as if he had stepped back in time . It felt like a certain sadness permeated the atmosphere of that place .
Han Sen did not know who or what those names belonged to, and he did not know how those folks might have been defeated . Aside from their names, nothing else was left behind .
After going through all the tablets, there was a bronze palace . It wasn’t as broken as the rest of the place, but it was still worn around the edges . There were the scrapes of a battle all across it, but it hadn’t been hewn or broken .
The palace seemed to be in good condition, all things considered . It was in the middle of the plain, but one half seemed to have sunken into the earth . One wall was stuck in the soil .
Golden Growler followed the scent, which led them straight to the bronze palace . He gave a quiet rumble to Han Sen, as if to indicate Blood Dog was inside .
Han Sen checked the exterior of the bronze palace first . There was a big title above the door which said, “Hero Spirit Hall . ”
“For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this,” Dragon Lady said, observing the palace ahead .
Han Sen nodded . He felt rather unsafe, as well . The Dongxuan Aura had difficulty scanning inside the palace, so he was unable to determine whether or not Blood Dog was on the inside .
“The creature you summoned; where did it come from?” Han Sen asked Dragon Lady .
Dragon Lady gave a wry smile . “I don’t know; my ingredients are random . I never know exactly what I will summon, and I don’t know where they come from . ”
After that, Dragon Lady looked towards the Hero Spirit Hall . “I think something is amiss . This place is too weird; it’d be best if we just left . We can try again another time . ”
Han Sen wished to say something, but before he spoke, he heard a sound . The tightly shut door suddenly started opening up . Han Sen and Dragon Lady stared at the gap of the opening gate . Golden Growler growled at the sight ahead .
Tap!
One hand suddenly appeared, pushing the door open .
Han Sen looked at the hand that was holding the bronze door and noticed that it was rather skeletal in its appearance . Although it had kept the shape of a hand, the skin was thin and dried up against the bone . It was like birch bark, and it looked creepy . It looked dead .
The hand grabbed the bronze door and slowly opened it .
As the door opened toward them, Han Sen saw beyond it . He couldn’t see much, but a massive support pillar with visible, holding up the roof .
The bronze door opened halfway, and when it did, Han Sen could see the master of the hand .
It was a being that was garbed with a black cloak . Aside from the hand, Han Sen couldn’t discern anything more about its body . The entire being was wrapped up by that same cloak . All Han Sen could truly notice was the rough outline of its body, which looked rather human .
Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura again, but he was unable to feel anything . The man in the black cloak looked dead; it was as if he had no lifeforce .
“Since you are here, come on in . ” The cloaked man opened the bronze gate fully now, and he stood at the entrance as he spoke .
He looked toward Han Sen and the others before making a clanging, metallic sound . It was quite spooky .
“What is your name?” Han Sen asked the cloaked man, very alert .
“I am already dead, so what would be the purpose of having a name? If you require one, refer to me as the Guardian Spirit . ” The creepiness of the cloaked man’s voice would strike so much fear into a person, their teeth would chatter .
He lowered his head as he spoke, too . His face was fully concealed by the hood, like a spirit haunting a graveyard .
“Guardian Spirit, who are you protecting?” When Han Sen heard the name, he didn’t feel any better . He wasn’t quite willing to step forward, either .
“I am not guarding anyone now,” Guardian Spirit said coldly .
Han Sen frowned and gave the man another look . Then, he pointed to the tablets and asked, “Are you guarding them?” Guardian Spirit suddenly laughed quite strangely and said, “Yes and no . I guard them, but I don’t guard them . ”
“What does that mean?” Han Sen asked with a frown .
“You’ll know if you come and see . ” Guardian Spirit was still laughing quite strangely .
“Whatever you’re guarding, I can’t say I’m interested,” Han Sen said, and then patted his Golden Growler as an indication it was time to leave . It turned around and started to .
The place was weird . Han Sen thought he was invincible in the Fourth God’s Sanctuary, but there were still many strange and creepy things occupying that realm . And so, Han Sen did not think he could kill everything . After he saw Stay Up Late, he knew he was not as immortal as he fancied himself .
“Even though you are here, you do not want to take a look?” Guardian Spirit asked quietly .
Han Sen ignored him and hurried Golden Growler away . But he walked so slow now, like some phantom force of power was them back . Golden Growler began to slide backward . He slid all the way back until they were pulled right inside the bronze palace .
