Hearing Fire Dance's objection, the others nodded in agreement.
They acknowledged that Shifeng's combat power was frightening. He could even suppress the Rare Lord ranked Crimson Shadow Wolf in a direct confrontation. Previously, they had considered the possibility of Shifeng going up against a Great Lord. At that time, they would have a chance of defeating a Level 25 Great Lord in White Fog Canyon's core.
After all, the loot of a Great Lord was simply too tempting. It was especially true for a Level 25 Great Lord. Level 25 equipment was exactly what the various large Guilds' main force members needed the most. If they could obtain an Epic item from a Great Lord, both the Guild's morale and strength would increase significantly.
However, after seeing Anubis's Gatekeeper with their own eyes, they suddenly felt very insignificant.
A Great Lord and a High Lord were creatures of two completely different dimensions.
Even escaping a Great Lord's pursuit would be a miracle, not to mention going up against one.
Although the treasure guarded by a Great Lord was very precious, there was a 99% chance that they would lose their lives trying to steal the golden stone tablet. It was better to give up on such a transaction.
Moreover, who knew if the teleportation array would still work after they obtained the golden stone tablet?
If it did not work, wouldn't they all die here …?
"Guild Leader, why don't we wait until we are strong enough? It's not worth it to lose our lives here for an unknown treasure," Shiuse Qiangwei advised.
"Why don't you all leave first? I'll give it a try alone. If it doesn't work, we'll wait until later," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
Shiuse Qiangwei's words made sense. However, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others did not understand the significance of a Great Lord protecting the golden stone tablet.
Shi Feng already had ten years of adventuring experience in God's Domain. Any treasure that could be guarded by a Great Lord was, at the very least, Epic rank. Dying once for an Epic item was nothing. If he waited until later on, who knew if someone would steal the golden stone tablet? After all, the Land of the Fallen Star was not a particularly secretive location.
Hearing Shifeng's resolute tone, everyone had no choice but to obediently walk towards the teleportation array, preparing to leave the Land of the Fallen Star.
However, just as Shiuse Qiangwei was about to activate the teleportation array, his hands froze. Cold sweat broke out on his fair forehead.
Let alone Shiuse Qiangwei, the other players standing beside the teleportation array also wore grim expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.
That cold and heavy killing intent made everyone feel as if they were standing in icy water. Everyone found it difficult to breathe.
"Guild Leader, if we activate the teleportation array, Anubis's Gatekeeper will attack us," Fire Dance said softly as she carefully looked at the Gatekeeper hovering in the air.
"They're really not giving us a chance," Shifeng said, "Fire's Will..
He had already activated the Omniscient Eye. Naturally, he could sense the cold, snake-like gaze of the gatekeeper of Anubis. If Aqua Rose dared activate the teleportation array, Anubis's Gatekeeper would immediately launch an attack.
Normally, a teleportation array took nearly 20 seconds to activate. During this time, as long as the user moved, the teleportation array would automatically shut down.
Twenty seconds.
A Level 30 Great Lord could easily kill over a hundred players, not to mention a six-man party.
Since they were in a special space, players could not use Return Scrolls to leave.
If players wished to leave this place, they would have to tank the Great Lord for 20 seconds. Otherwise, they would have to grind until they died. If they died, they would lose EXP, Skill Proficiency, or a piece of equipment.
If they did not wish to drop any equipment, they could wear nothing. That way, they would not drop any equipment they wore. At most, they would encounter the rare chance of items dropping from their bags.
"It seems we have no choice but to give it a try!"
Shifeng could not come up with a solution no matter how hard he thought about it. They could not take advantage of the surrounding terrain. Although the entrance was small, the Gatekeeper's body was not large, so it could still enter.
Now, the only way for them to leave this place safely was to lure the Gatekeeper away. Otherwise, with the Great Lord's strength, its AOE would be too wide. None of the nearby players would survive, not to mention activating the teleportation array.
"Fire, prepare to activate the teleportation array. If the Great Lord's attacks hit you, use Vanish or Wind Steps to defend yourself. As long as you do not move, the teleportation array will not shut down.
"I'll lure the Gatekeeper away first. Be careful of your timing. "
Saying so, Shifeng activated Wind Steps and dashed towards the golden stone tablet.
Anubis's Gatekeeper immediately shifted his gaze towards the Shifeng.
When the Swordsman was less than 10 yards away from the golden stone tablet, the Gatekeeper suddenly vanished. He then reappeared in front of the golden stone tablet.
"Instantaneous Movement!" Shiuse Qiangwei stared at the Gatekeeper in astonishment.
A Great Lord capable of instantaneous movement. How could any player escape its pursuit?
"What a powerful aura." Fire Dance's expression turned grim.
Previously, the Gatekeeper had been around 90 yards away from them. Now, it was less than 40 yards away. The Gatekeeper's ferocity was on full display.
"Trespassers of the Holy Land will die!" The Gatekeeper's eyes flashed with a ferocious glint. Glaring at Shifeng, the Gatekeeper raised his right hand. A pitch-black spear then appeared in his right hand. The Gatekeeper lightly swung the spear at Shifeng.
Xiu! A spear light tore through the air and arrived before Shifeng.
Not daring to be careless, Shifeng held his two swords horizontally and used Parry to block the attack.
The instant the spear light collided with the swords, Shifeng's hands were knocked away, and he was thrown over 20 yards away …
Everyone standing inside the teleportation array was stupefied.
Just how strong were Shifeng?
Even without activating any statuses, he could still contend with a Lord of the same level. Yet, Shifeng had only come into contact with the spear light. Compared to the Gatekeeper's black spear, the spear light was much weaker. Even so, Shifeng had been sent flying.
Just how frightening was the Gatekeeper's Strength?!
"As expected of a Great Lord. Even with my Tier 2 combat power, I'm no match for him." Shifeng smiled bitterly as he looked at his numb hands after landing.
If not for Parry's ability to nullify damage, he would've lost at least 4,000 HP from that spear.
However, Shi Feng had only done so because he wanted to test the Gatekeeper's strength. That way, he could evaluate the Gatekeeper's strength.
Now that he had tested the Gatekeeper's strength, Shifeng had a rough idea of the Gatekeeper's combat power.
Tier 3 intermediate combat power!
Even a Tier 3 player that had just completed their promotion would be beaten to a pulp.
However, after repelling Shifeng, the Gatekeeper showed no signs of stopping. Instead, he turned to look at Fire Dance and the others.
"Trespassers of the Holy Land will die!"
The Gatekeeper growled. He then extended his other hand, which was not holding a spear. Suddenly, silver flames gathered in his palm.
