821 Chapter 821 Guardian Beast
Chapter 821 Guardian Beast
Looking at the pillar of light from afar, one could feel the majestic energy contained within it.
"That's where the divine artifact is birthed. Let's hurry over and get it!"
Zena exclaimed excitedly, as she couldn't wait to get her hands on the divine artifact.
This beam of light shone so brightly that it attracted the attention of everyone in its surroundings.
It attracted the attention of others in the area, which meant there would inevitably be a battle.
After all, this was a divine artifact! No one would give up a piece of legendary equipment unless there was a vast difference in strength.
Lu Yu quickened his pace and ran toward the palace.
He naturally knew the power of a divine artifact.
Just his Star Piercing Demonic Sword alone had given him quite a shock in terms of its power.
If he could obtain a second divine artifact, the increase in his strength would certainly be immeasurable.
The group of four quickly rushed out.
After that, Han Xuefei and Helen, the two espers, flew up and brought Lu Yu and Zena toward the hall.
Soon, they approached the palace.
They saw that a few figures were already at the entrance of the hall.
Zena looked over and frowned. "We're a step too late. Someone arrived here first."
Lu Yu looked over and saw a familiar figure.
"That person looks like Dickens, don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Zena looked over carefully and exclaimed, "It is Dickens. The City Lord has already brought his people here."
Helen and Han Xuefei landed down with the other two.
After landing, the four of them walked toward the entrance of the hall.
At that moment, Dickens stood before the hall's entrance. He picked up his war hammer and smashed it toward the steel door as hard as possible!
Bang!
A loud bang rang out, and the intense tremors shook the ground.
Dickens' forehead was covered in sweat as he panted heavily.
His hands, which were holding the war hammer tightly, were covered in wounds.
"City Lord, why don't we forget about it? The door doesn't seem to be able to be opened by brute force!"
"We all hit it several times, but it didn't have any effect at all."
"There must be some hidden mechanism. Let's look for it."
"There's no way to break it with brute force."
"Speaking of which, there should be a guardian beast here. Could it be that the guardian beast is inside?"
Dickens looked at the people behind him and berated them, "Stop talking nonsense and smash the door together!"
"Lord, why don't we look for any traps?"
"Why don't you guys look for those traps then? Look around; what kind of mechanism could this palace have?"
One of them analyzed the place and replied, "I feel that if we want to open the door, we have to defeat the guardian beast here."
"Then tell me, where is the guardian beast?" Dickens demanded.
Everyone shook their heads at that.
When they saw the pillar of light, they rushed over immediately.
However, they discovered that there was no trace of the guardian beast here after they arrived, and they could not open the doors to the hall.
At this moment, Dickens and the others noticed Zena and the others.
"The few of you also came over? Very good. Did you find anything on the way here?"
Zena walked up to her and said with a solemn face, "An ancient dragon just woke up and flew over here."
Dickens frowned. "Really? There was a sleeping dragon here?"
"Of course, it's true. We saw it clearly!"
"What I want to ask is, do you have any clues about this palace? I just want to open this door!"
Dickens was getting impatient; even in his dreams, he wanted to get the divine artifact buried here!
In his entire life, he had always dreamed of obtaining a divine artifact. That was something that he had always wanted!
Once, he had witnessed cultivators wielding divine artifacts and fighting with powerful enemies until the sky split and the earth shook!
That kind of power was something he yearned for.
"Why don't we leave for now? Otherwise, if the dragon discovers that we're gathered here, I'm sure it will attack us."
Zena's worries were reasonable. The dragon had just woken up and was hungry; it was eye-catching for so many of them to gather here.
Dickens decisively refused.
"No, I can't leave this place. I won't leave until I get my divine artifact!"
He was determined to stay. He continued to swing his war hammer and smash it against the door.
Zena watched as Dickens hammered the door to no avail, and she was disappointed. If Dickens couldn't get his divine artifact, he was just making things difficult for all of them.
"Brother Lu Yu," Helen looked at Lu Yu and asked, "If you use your weapon, will you be able to open this door?"
Lu Yu frowned and replied, after some thought, "It's probably difficult. Let Dickens try it slowly."
He did not intend to make a move, as the situation here was getting complicated.
Dickens seemed to be possessed by something. His hands were bleeding, but he was still pounding on the door continuously. It seemed that he had a deep obsession with obtaining a divine artifact.
"I don't believe that I can't open this broken door today!"
He seemed to have gone crazy as he hammered the door, but it did not budge.
"How is this possible? It's supposed to be easy for me to break open this broken iron door!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky.
The Dark Poison Dragon broke through the clouds and flapped its wings as it descended.
"Look, what's that in the sky!"
Someone shouted in fear.
Dickens stopped what he was doing and looked up.
"How could that be!"
His pupils constricted, and his expression got nervous.
"There really is a dragon!"
"What should we do? We won't be able to obtain the divine artifact with the dragon here." Dickens grew more anxious.
If this dragon were here to protect the divine artifact, he would have to say goodbye to his dreams.
Even he did not think that he was a match for the dragon.
"City Lord, why don't we leave? We can't stay here any longer!" someone advised Dickens.
Dickens shook his head decisively. "No, I'll try once more!"
He gripped his hammer tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to smash it down.
Bang!
A loud bang shook the door, but it did not move as it stood firmly in place.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the iron door, Dickens looked desperate.
"Could it be that I have no fate with this divine artifact?"
"Hurry up and escape, City Lord. The dragon has landed!"
Behind Dickens, his lackeys scattered and fled.
Helen looked at Dickens' saddened back and quickly used her telekinesis to pull him back.
Boom!
The Dark Poison Dragon landed, its huge and heavy body kicking up a cloud of dust.
Roar!
With a furious roar, everyone retreated.
Lu Yu and the others backed off, not daring to look the Dark Poison Dragon in the eye.
Looking at the Dark Poison Dragon's mighty figure, Dickens was filled with despair.
"A divine artifact is here, but none of us can get it. What a pity, what a pity!"
"Let's return. It seems that we have no hope of obtaining this divine artifact."
