Chapter 504 The Destined Man


Chapter 504 The Destined Man

Facing the unknown barrier, Li Ce was right not to act rashly.

What if the barrier shield has some kind of autonomous defense and counterattack mechanism? If they take action here, they may be in big trouble.

The lizard man's temple is divided into two parts, one in front and one in the back. Originally, the high priest lived in the outer hall, while the inner hall was surrounded by a barrier.

Passing through the outer hall, the group soon arrived outside the inner hall.

Looking at the inner hall in the distance, Zhou Xu felt something strange inexplicably before he walked in completely, which made him distracted for a while until Li Ce's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

As he spoke, Li Ce raised his hand to signal Zhou Xu to stand back and stop getting closer.

"The barrier is right in front."

While speaking, Li Ce maintained a posture of raising his hands flat and stretching forward, and took a few steps forward.

Soon, he felt as if he had touched a transparent wall and stopped. During this period, the barrier touched by Li Ce caused a slight ripple, and Zhou Xu also saw it.

"For now, this is like a transparent wall. Just touching it like this doesn't seem to cause any harm to us."

"I'll give it a try. "

From just now, this inner hall has been giving him a strange feeling, which inevitably made Zhou Xu feel a little concerned.

Stepping forward, Zhou Xu approached steadily, then raised his hand as well, trying to touch the barrier.

Unexpectedly, the moment his fingertips touched the barrier, his hand seemed to have penetrated into a calm lake, and the back of his hand was quickly submerged.

"Your Majesty!"

This scene startled Li Ce. He mistakenly thought it was Zhou Xu's approach, and accidentally triggered some enchantment mechanism, causing him to subconsciously react with the utmost force. He quickly pulled it behind him, and at the same time looked at the barrier with a wary expression.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine."

He took a look at his hand that was accidentally submerged in the barrier. It was intact, with no trace of damage or any discomfort.

This made Li Ce feel greatly relieved. If Zhou Xu was injured due to his negligence, then he really wouldn't know what to do.

In fact, Zhou Xu himself was frightened by what he did just now.

This made him even more convinced that the strange feeling brought to him by the inner temple was definitely not his imagination.

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu turned to look at Wang Pengfei who was following behind.

"Pengfei, what do you feel when you look at the inner hall?"

Faced with the question, Wang Pengfei shook his head like a rattle, as if he was afraid that if he shook it slowly for half a second, it would be like that. It seems that the inner temple has some kind of relationship.

If it were said that when he first traveled through time, he might have had some illusions about being the 'protagonist'.

So now he has completely recognized the reality, and he also knows that he is not that material.

His current state is that he does not want to get involved with anything dangerous. If possible, he would rather go back to Tieshan Village to continue doing odd jobs. He brags with the villagers on weekdays and has a fulfilling life.

But their king wouldn't let it go.

So nowadays Wang Pengfei mainly focuses on living a low-key life, and is thinking about when he can 'retire from old age and return to his hometown'.

Seeing Wang Pengfei's reaction, Zhou Xu didn't waste any time and waved to him.

“You try it.”

Wang Pengfei’s first reaction was to refuse, but he knew that their king was not discussing with him at the moment.

In addition, judging from their king's situation just now, this barrier should have little lethality.

Thinking of this, Wang Pengfei, who had no way to retreat, took courage and stretched out his hand towards the barrier.

The distance between the hand and the barrier was only half a meter at most, but for Wang Pengfei, seconds seemed like years, and the whole process was filled with tension and uneasiness. The moment his fingertips touched the barrier, Wang Pengfei was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly changed to one of surprise.

“No, I can’t put my hand in.”

Without waiting for Zhou Xu to question, he immediately emphasized again.

“I really can’t reach in.”

While speaking, as if to increase the credibility of his words, Wang Pengfei simply put his hands on the barrier at the same time. He did two push-ups neatly.

The expression on his face throughout the whole process was so awkward that Zhou Xu rolled his eyes and was speechless.

However, his action fully proved that he was really blocked by the barrier.

[It seems that the key factor is not the ‘chosen one’, but me? In other words, are there any other key factors that I haven't discovered? 】

This made Zhou Xu a little confused about the situation.

With this doubt, Zhou Xu decided to try again.

Unsurprisingly, his palm sank directly in. This time he even stretched forward a little further, directly extending half of his arm in without feeling any hindrance. The extraction process is not subject to any restrictions.

Coupled with the strange feeling he felt throughout the whole process, Zhou Xu couldn't help but become more curious about the inner hall.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Zhou Xu's words made Li Ce's expression suddenly change.

"No, Your Majesty! This is too dangerous!"

Although Li Ce couldn't figure out why the barrier didn't work on their Majesty, when they couldn't get in, It would be too dangerous no matter how much you think about letting their king enter alone.

Zhou Xu is not unaware of Li Ce's concerns. He is also a cautious person in nature.

But what he felt now was really wonderful, and he even felt like there was something calling him.

Of course, as the king now, he has great influence and can no longer take risks casually.

Considering this, Zhou Xu made some preparations and spent a day asking the soldiers to bring in the three-bow crossbow.

I also called Wang Dong over and tried this barrier.

It turns out that Wang Dong was also blocked.

So far, he is the only one who can pass through this barrier.

This can’t help but give Zhou Xu more ideas.

"Okay, after I go in, if you still haven't come out after three hours, you can try to use the three-bow bed crossbow to break the barrier."

After pulling away enough At a safe distance, even if this barrier does have a counterattack mechanism, it shouldn't cause too much harm to them.

Looking at Zhou Xu who had made up his mind, Li Ce and the others said nothing more.

After briefly giving instructions about what was going on outside, Zhou Xu walked directly towards the barrier without hesitation, and under the gaze of everyone, he easily passed through the expansion.

At that moment, Zhou Xu felt that the space he was in had changed.

It was clear that it was still blue sky and day outside, but he turned his head and entered a dim temple. At the same time, his eyes were unconsciously drawn to the huge figure lying on the altar as the only light source here. attracted.

It was a giant white dragon, its whole body exuding pure white fluorescence, like a bright moon. At this moment, it was folding its huge dragon wings and sleeping soundly on the altar.

However, in the next second, as if he noticed Zhou Xu's existence, Bailong's eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of eyes as beautiful as sapphires.

[The destined man. The last descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You finally came here as promised, Zhou Hongxu...]
