Chapter 132 Anubis's Gatekeeper

Huowu's objection was echoed by the others.

They admitted that Shi Feng's combat power was astonishing, even capable of overpowering the rare lord, Crimson Shadow Dire Wolf. Before, they had considered the possibility that Shi Feng might be able to contend against a Grand Lord, giving them hope of facing the Level 25 Grand Lord in the temple ruins of the White Mist Canyon's core area.

After all, the loot dropped by Grand Lords was extremely enticing, especially that of a Level 25 Grand Lord. The Level 25 equipment was exactly what the main force of the various guilds needed. If an Epic item could drop, it would greatly boost the guild's morale and strength.

However, after seeing Anubis's Gatekeeper with their own eyes, they suddenly felt insignificant.

Grand Lords and High Lords were creatures of entirely different dimensions.

Forget contending against a Grand Lord, it would be a miracle to even escape its pursuit.

While the treasures guarded by Grand Lords were valuable, attempting to seize the golden stone slab had a 99.9% chance of ending in death. Such a deal was not worth it.

And who knew if the teleportation magic array would even work after obtaining the golden stone slab.

If it didn't, wouldn't they all die here?

"Guild Leader, why don't we wait until we have enough strength before coming back? It's not worth risking our lives here for an unknown treasure," Water Rose advised.

"Or you guys can leave first, and I'll try it alone. If it doesn't work, we'll wait until later," Shi Feng said, shaking his head.

Water Rose's words made sense, but she and the others didn't know the significance of a golden stone slab being protected by a Grand Lord.

Shi Feng had ten years of adventure experience in God's Domain. Any treasure guarded by a Grand Lord was at least Epic-ranked. It was worth dying once for an Epic item. If they waited until later, someone might take the golden stone slab. After all, the Land of Fallen Stars wasn't a particularly hidden place.

Hearing Shi Feng's resolute tone, the others could only obediently walk towards the teleportation magic array, preparing to leave the Land of Fallen Stars.

However, just as Water Rose was about to activate the teleportation magic array, her movements suddenly stopped, and cold sweat broke out on her fair forehead.

Not only Water Rose, but the others standing in the teleportation magic array also had grim expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The cold, heavy killing intent made everyone feel as if they were immersed in ice water, making it difficult to breathe.

"Guild Leader, if we activate the teleportation magic array, Anubis's Gatekeeper above will also launch an attack," Huowu said softly, carefully looking at Anubis's Gatekeeper suspended in mid-air.

"It really doesn't give us a chance," Shi Feng said with a wry smile.

He had already activated the Eye of Omniscience and naturally sensed the cold, snake-like gaze of Anubis's Gatekeeper. As long as Water Rose dared to activate the teleportation magic array, Anubis's Gatekeeper would immediately attack.

It took nearly 20 seconds to activate the teleportation magic array and complete the teleportation. During this time, if the activator moved, the teleportation magic array would automatically shut down.

Twenty seconds.

Enough for a Level 30 Grand Lord to kill hundreds of players, let alone a six-person team.

This was a special space, and players couldn't use Return Scrolls to leave.

To leave meant that the players had to withstand the Grand Lord for 20 seconds, or else they would level up here until they died, or simply die once, losing experience points, skill proficiency, and an item of equipment.

If they didn't want to drop equipment, they could simply not wear anything, so that the equipment on their bodies couldn't be dropped. At most, they would encounter the rare occurrence of an item dropping from their bag.

"It seems we can only take a gamble!"

Shi Feng couldn't think of any good solutions. The surrounding terrain was unusable. Although the entrance and exit were small, Anubis's Gatekeeper wasn't large and could still enter.

The only way to ensure the safety of everyone was to lure Anubis's Gatekeeper away. Otherwise, with the strength of a Grand Lord, the area of effect would be too wide, and the players nearby wouldn't be able to survive, let alone activate the teleportation magic array.

"Huowu, you prepare to activate the teleportation magic array. If you are affected by the Grand Lord's attack, use Vanish or Gale Steps to resist. As long as you don't move your body, the teleportation magic array won't shut down."

"I'll go and lure Anubis's Gatekeeper. Pay attention to the timing yourselves."

As Shi Feng spoke, he activated Wind Chaser and quickly rushed towards the golden stone slab.

Anubis's Gatekeeper immediately shifted its gaze to Shi Feng.

Seeing that Shi Feng was less than 10 yards away from the golden stone slab, Anubis's Gatekeeper suddenly disappeared into thin air and appeared in front of the golden stone slab.

"Teleportation!" Water Rose looked at Anubis's Gatekeeper in disbelief.

Could any player escape the pursuit of a Grand Lord that could teleport?

"What a powerful aura," Huowu said with a solemn expression.

Previously, Anubis's Gatekeeper was eighty or ninety yards away from them. Now, it was less than forty yards away, and Anubis's Gatekeeper's ferocity was undisguised.

"Those who trespass on the holy ground shall die!" Anubis's Gatekeeper's eyes flashed with a fierce light as it stared at Shi Feng. It immediately raised its right hand, and a jet-black, life-sized spear emerged in its hand. It gently waved the spear at Shi Feng.

With a whoosh, a ray of spear light pierced the air and arrived before Shi Feng.

Shi Feng didn't dare to be careless. He held his two swords horizontally and used Parry to defend.

The moment the ray of spear light touched the two swords, Shi Feng's hands were knocked open, and he was sent flying more than 20 yards away...

The people standing in the teleportation magic array were instantly stunned.

How strong was Shi Feng?

Without activating any special states, he could compete with a Lord of the same level. But Shi Feng had only touched the ray of spear light. Compared to the black spear in Anubis's Gatekeeper's hand, the power was much weaker, but even so, Shi Feng had been sent flying.

Just how terrifying was Anubis's Gatekeeper's strength?

"As expected of a Grand Lord, even with my Tier 2 combat power, I'm far from a match," Shi Feng said with a wry smile, looking at his completely numb hands after landing.

If the Parry skill hadn't negated the damage, he would have lost at least three or four thousand health points from that attack.

However, Shi Feng had intentionally tried Anubis's Gatekeeper's strength to assess its capabilities.

Now that he had tested it, Shi Feng had a rough idea of Anubis's Gatekeeper's combat power.

Mid-Tier 3 combat power!

Even players who had just been promoted to Tier 3 classes would be beaten like dogs.

However, after Anubis's Gatekeeper repelled Shi Feng, it didn't stop. It immediately turned its head to look at Huowu and the others.

"Those who trespass on the holy ground shall die!"

Anubis's Gatekeeper roared and extended its other hand, the one not holding the spear. Suddenly, a silvery-white flame condensed in its hand.

In the blink of an eye, the fist-sized flame swelled into a house-sized fireball. The scorching heat made Shi Feng, even at a distance of 20 yards, feel a stinging pain.
