"Roar!" Suddenly, a massive roar echoed from afar, and even from a distance, one could feel the terrifying anger within it. At the same time, the sound of a fierce battle could be heard continuously.
"They are already fighting the guardian!" Long Momo paused for a moment, her face changing slightly, and said, "We need to hurry over, or else..."
Bexia didn't catch the second half of Long Momo's sentence, and there was no nonsense among the team members. They decisively accelerated and after a while, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and the mist around them disappeared. Looking back, they couldn't see the path they had taken.
"The terrain here is peculiar, it seems to have formed a special barrier. The fog outside can be considered a disguise!" explained Long Momo.
"Look over there!" Long Nisi's gaze turned towards a nearby location where a battle was taking place. Several youths with different appearances were fighting against a massive figure.
And that figure was very unique, its appearance resembled that of a tiger, but with wings on its back. It was completely black in color, and estimated to be around ten meters in length. Each of its attacks would kick up a large amount of dust, it was truly terrifying.
"What kind of draconic beast is this?" Bexia asked, looking at the black figure.
"This is the guardian, not a draconic beast. In ancient texts, it is called 'Qiongqi'. It is a very powerful existence. However, what we see now is not the real Qiongqi, but just an illusion formed by the peculiar terrain here. It is said that defeating it will grant special rewards!" answered Long Momo.
"They seem to be having a hard time defeating this guardian!" Bexia observed the battle in front of them. This Qiongqi was extremely powerful, its black carapace was as tough as an insect's exoskeleton. Their weapons could only leave traces on its surface, but couldn't inflict any actual damage. How could they fight against it?
"I think we are in a precarious situation too!" Bexia worriedly said, looking at the powerful Qiongqi illusion.
"The guardian is not as strong as you think. Don't be deceived by its lack of injuries. It is an energy being, and all of its losses are determined by the energy within it. So as long as we deplete this energy, the guardian will automatically disappear!"
"I see. Should I start attacking then?" Bexia frowned, according to Long Momo's words, does that mean these people just want to exhaust the Qiongqi illusion?
"There's no other choice for us. We can't pass through. In the Dragon God's space, some places have special trial rules. Once someone enters the trial state, others cannot disturb them unless they fail!"
"And don't even think about taking advantage of it. Even if they fail, we won't be able to take over a weakened guardian. When they exit the trial, the guardian will automatically restore its strongest state. And when we go again..." Long Momo's implication was clear, and Bexia listened in astonishment. These trial rules were too formidable! It's like there's no room for anyone to maneuver!
"So, we can only wait here? What if they pass the trial?" Bexia asked.
"Then we can only..." A dangerous glint flashed in Long Momo's eyes. In this moment, there was no such thing as kindness or morality when faced with a life-threatening choice. Even if Bexia asked herself, she would make the same choice as Long Momo without hesitation.
Compassion is kindness towards the weak, and the path of the strong is littered with corpses!
The arrival of Long Momo and the others naturally did not escape the attention of those inside. They exchanged glances with each other, knowing that the guardians here were extremely powerful. However, they were confident in defeating them.
But now that Long Momo had arrived, a problem arose. If they were to defeat this guardian, they would undoubtedly deplete a significant amount of their strength, which meant they would only have half or even less of their strength to face Long Momo and his group.
They had already seen the strength of Long Momo when they helped Long Hao before. Although they considered themselves to be talented and powerful, they were still no match for Long Momo. Especially when Long Momo possessed two "divine artifacts," and if it weren't for Long Hao using another divine artifact, the "Breaking Void Dragon Sword," to restrain him yesterday, how could they expect to defeat Long Momo and his group?
Therefore, these people looked at each other and chose to stop. They didn't want to become prey, so the best choice was to temporarily give up.
As for whether they would be willing to leave this place? That was certainly not possible. Long Hao had already informed them of the method to deal with Long Momo before they came. That was to give the guardian to Long Momo. This way, they could "leave" with peace of mind because Long Momo would not choose to attack them at this time. The time to enter the Dragon God space was the same for everyone. It was already the third day today, and if they delayed any longer, there would not be much time left to enter the Dragon God Palace.
Moreover, Long Hao might have already obtained enough Dragon Power Liquid there. Every moment they spent here meant that they were one step behind the other party. How could Long Momo risk losing everything by choosing to fight them at this time?
Therefore, giving up was also a strategy. They knew that the strength of this guardian was not weak, and once the battle started, it would naturally consume the strength of Long Momo and his group. Instead, they chose to lay in ambush outside, where they could easily gain great benefits with minimal effort.
As for the strength of Long Momo, they had already prepared for it. Long Hao had informed them of the locations where Dragon Power Liquid could be found, and in return, they were supposed to make a move against Long Momo. Long Hao had also given them something that could suppress Long Momo's strength...
"Goddess, we meet again!"
"What do you want?" The atmosphere in the room became tense as soon as the two groups entered, after all, they had a fight only yesterday.
"We didn't mean any harm. The incident yesterday was just a result of circumstances. We don't want to be enemies with Goddess, let alone get involved in the internal conflicts of your church. So, as an apology, we are willing to give this place to Goddess as compensation!" This statement sounded smooth and made it seem like it was really the case.
"I appreciate your gesture!" Long Momo answered without a smile.
"In that case, we won't disturb Goddess any further!"
"We're leaving."
The group quickly passed through the barrier and disappeared into the mist. Isha quietly said to Long Momo, "Goddess, be careful. These people are likely to lie in ambush outside and attack us!"
"I can see it now, did they really think these people were so kind?" Long Momo closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened her eyes and looked at the guardian not far away. Behind it was a small pond filled with Dragon Power Solution, but it was protected by a very powerful barrier. The only way to open it was to defeat the guardian.
"We don't have any other choice..." Long Momo said somewhat helplessly.
