Silver-white flames burned fiercely on a stone pillar, completely enveloping it. Everything within 10 meters of the pillar was burned to a grayish white.
"Guild Leader, the secret door is inside the flames," Fire Dance said as she pointed at the silver-white flames.
Just as Shifeng was about to approach the flames to take a closer look, Fire Dance pulled Shifeng back and said, "Guild Leader, be careful. The temperature of the silver flames is extremely high. I lost 2,000 HP the moment I stepped into the white area."
"The fire damage is so high?" Although Shifeng had already noticed that the silver flames were extraordinary, he had never imagined that they would be so powerful.
If the silver flames could deal 2,000 damage to players every second, even with his 70 points of Fire Resistance, he would still receive significant damage. If he stayed in this situation for too long, he would still die.
"Violet, heal me. I'll go take a closer look," Shifeng said as he stepped into the 10-yard radius of the silver flames.
Immediately, nearly -500 fire damage appeared above Shifeng's head.
"Sure enough, it's hot." Shifeng felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring as he stepped on the gray-white ground.
Moreover, he was wearing the Flame Boots, which allowed him to feel slightly lower temperatures. If he were wearing any other shoes, he would most likely be hopping around right now …
Following which, Shifeng approached the burning stone pillar. The closer he got to the massive stone pillar, the higher the temperature, and the higher the damage he received. When he was one or two yards away from the pillar, Shifeng lost over 1,000 HP every second. Even though Shifeng had long since recovered from his Weakened state and had recovered over 8,400 HP, he would not last more than nine seconds.
However, with a powerful healer like Violet Cloud, a simple Heal and Truth Shield was more than enough to keep him alive.
"Sure enough, there is a secret door." Shifeng discovered a tightly shut stone door on top of the burning stone pillar. Meanwhile, a short distance away from the stone door was a blue chain.
Shifeng grabbed the blue chain, wanting to see if this chain could open the secret door.
However, the instant he grabbed the chain … Shifeng did not feel any heat from the blue chain. On the contrary, he felt a chill run down his spine when he grabbed the blue chain. A chill enveloped his entire body, and the fire damage he received immediately decreased sharply. From over -1,000 damage, he only received around -600 damage.
"This chain is really special. I wonder what material it is made of. It would be great if I could take it with me." Shifeng looked at the aqua blue chain and was a little tempted.
If he could take this chain with him, he would have a much easier time raiding fire-type Dungeons or dealing with fire-type Bosses in the future. Just by holding it in his hand, he could increase his Fire Resistance by nearly 50 points. It was even more amazing than an Intermediate Fire Resistance Potion. The effects of the Intermediate Fire Resistance Potion could only last for one hour. All he had to do was hold onto the necklace. He wondered how much money he could save on Fire Resistance Potions.
As the blue chain was pulled, the stone door in the huge stone pillar slowly opened. Behind the stone door was a dark passage, and it was impossible to see where it led.
After the stone door was opened, the silver-white flames slowly extinguished and finally disappeared. The scorching earth also slowly cooled down. It allowed players to pass through freely.
"Guild Leader, you're still the best. You actually have such high Fire Resistance. If it were someone else, even if they knew there was a hidden door, they wouldn't have been able to open it, "Hei Zi said, smiling.
Although they had obtained a bountiful harvest from the Land of the Fallen Star, not being able to leave was not a good thing. It would be best if they could leave this place now. This way, they could go out and improve their Skill Completion Rates.
"Let's go." Shifeng unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Purgatory's Shadow from his waist. He slowly walked through the hidden door.
The passage leading to the hidden door was extremely narrow. Various ancient words and patterns were carved into the walls on both sides of the passage. These words were so ancient that even Shifeng, who was very familiar with God's Domain, could not recognize them.
At most, three players could walk side by side in the passage. It was very inconvenient for them to fight. Fortunately, they did not encounter a single monster along the way.
After walking along the passage for over half an hour, the team arrived at a towering altar.
Two gigantic statues with wolf heads and human bodies stood on either side of the altar. Silver flames burned above the altar. These were the flames that Shifeng and the others had seen at the hidden door.
A short distance to the right of the silver flames was a teleportation array. A short distance to the left of the altar was a stone plate that flashed with a golden light. Divine runes and patterns covered the stone plate. With a single glance, one could tell that it was an extraordinary item.
When the team arrived before the altar, they suddenly felt an abnormal pressure weighing down on their hearts. It was as if someone had taken a sledgehammer and repeatedly pounded their chests.
"Guild Leader, look … there …" Hei Zi said, his hair standing on end as he pointed towards the sky above the altar.
Everyone immediately shifted their gazes towards the direction Hei Zi pointed.
A figure hovered above the altar. However, due to the poor lighting, they could not see the figure clearly. Even so, everyone could feel the immense threat of death from this figure.
Shifeng could not see the figure clearly, either. However, Shifeng could feel that the figure was looking down on them.
Shifeng immediately activated Omniscient Eyes to inspect the figure.
Immediately, he came up with a shocking statistic.
[Anubis's Gatekeeper] (Great Lord) Level 30 HP 10,000,000/10,000,000
"Great Lord?" Shifeng muttered to himself.
While others in God's Domain did not know how powerful a Great Lord was, Shifeng knew very well that they were no match for Brother Wolf.
This was especially true for a Field Great Lord. Although its HP was much lower than a Dungeon's Great Lord, a Field Great Lord was much stronger than a Dungeon's Great Lord. Even a Level 30, 1,000-man team would be nothing more than a scratch to this Great Lord.
"He won't attack us, right?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked nervously as he looked at Anubis's Gatekeeper.
In reality, Shiuse Qiangwei wasn't the only one who was nervous. Even Shifeng could not remain calm.
"Hopefully not," Shiuse Qiangwei said uncertainly. "However, since he hasn't attacked us even after we've come so far, I'll stay put for now."
If Anubis's Gatekeeper took the initiative to attack, even Shi Feng would be helpless against it. The only thing he could do was run for his life. Fighting the Gatekeeper head-on would be suicidal. As for trying to use special methods to deal with the Great Lord, that would also be suicidal. After all, monsters like the Great Lord would not give players such an opportunity.
According to God's Domain's tiered system, a Great Lord was a Tier 3 class.
A Tier 3 class was the equivalent of an ordinary City's City Lord. They could oversee an entire city.
After Shifeng and the others observed the Gatekeeper for some time, they began to understand what was going on.
"It seems that Anubis's Gatekeeper is the monster guarding the golden stone plate. As long as we don't touch the golden stone plate, the Gatekeeper won't attack us."
Previously, Shi Feng had tested Anubis's Gatekeeper. As long as he approached the golden stone tablet, the Gatekeeper's killing intent would grow heavier. Hence, Shi Feng did not dare to get too close to the golden stone tablet. As for the teleportation array on the other side, Anubis's Gatekeeper showed no reaction.
"Aqua, you guys go to the teleportation array and activate it," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought. "I'll go get the golden stone plate."
"Guild Leader, that's a Great Lord!" Fire Dance exclaimed in horror.
Although none of them had seen how powerful a Great Lord was, the Gatekeeper's piercing eyes and dense killing intent made the Crimson Shadow Wolf look like a joke before the Great Lord. If Shifeng tried to attack the Great Lord, he would most likely die instantly. (To be continued …)
