Chapter 271: Blocked
"Oh? Is that really true?" I gave the old man a meaningful look, then turned around and shouted to the monsters: "I can understand your pain, but we are outsiders, and the things between you have nothing to do with us. , so...it's better for you to resolve the matter yourself. Of course, I know that you are in extreme anger now, but I want to inform you." I said suddenly raising my hand and opening my palm to the side, a white light In a flash, the forest on the side was cleared directly into a blank corridor seven or eight meters wide and about one kilometer long. After doing all this, I retracted my hand as if nothing had happened and continued: "As you can see, we are not easy to chew. Do you recognize the facts and do what you should do, or do you want to vent your temporary emotions and ruin the freedom you have at your fingertips? This is up to you." After saying this, I deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then asked: "Now, give me an answer."
The group of monsters surrounding us did not respond immediately after I asked. Instead, they seemed to be frozen in place. After about a minute, the old man who was stepped on the ground by Matsumoto Masa finally responded. He came over and shouted at us: "Haha, you are actually trying to threaten the guards. These are the most powerful guardians. They are born guards. You can't even think of escaping from the guards. Don't let us go now." I, maybe I will consider letting you leave alive. "
We didn't even look at the old man's shouting, but the monsters on the opposite side were attracted by these words. After moving his eyes to glance at the old man, one of the monsters in the group of monsters, which looked nothing special, suddenly roared at the sky, and then the group of monsters moved to both sides like a tide, directly in front of us. Make way for us.
The old man who had been extremely arrogant just now finally realized something at this time. Unfortunately, whether he wanted to understand it or not, it actually had no impact on the outcome. Just as he screamed in terror, we left him and started to move forward. However, the monsters did not respond to our actions at all, and their eyes were always locked on the old man.
In fact, the old man cannot be blamed for this matter. He had been in this place for so long that he had forgotten the features of the defenders. Although these monsters look strange, they are actually members of a race called guardians. There are many classifications of this race. But they all have some common characteristics. One of the biggest characteristics is that the guardians will be absolutely loyal to their mission.
In fact, when I first encountered these monsters, I didn't know that these things were guardians. After all, the appearance of the guardian family was really uncertain. The monsters in front of me that look like a mixture of dinosaurs and mammals can only be said to be a branch form of guardians. I have seen guardians that look like stone giants and guardians that look like constructs before. I've even heard of humanoid guardians, but I've never seen them.
According to the information obtained by a member of the guild while doing a task, the guardian should be an artificial creature, not a natural product. They are an alchemical creature. It is a creature specially customized to protect something. Because they are alchemical creatures, their appearance is indeterminate at all, and their behavioral traits are customized to the needs of their creator. However, as a kind of guardian creature, one attribute they must have is absolute compliance with instructions.
No matter how many years I have been hanging out with this old man here, or whether these guardians in front of me are the first batch of guardians. They are still descendants of the original guardians, but as long as they accept the task, they will definitely complete it. Unless the conditions of the task are met or they die, they will never terminate the execution of the task. This excellent quality has been engraved into the life core of this race, so even if the artificial guardians give birth to offspring, they will inherit the original mission of their parents, and their offspring will inherit it from generation to generation. . Unless this family lineage is completely extinct or the mission is completed. Otherwise the task never terminates.
After all, this old man is a prisoner here, and the person who imprisoned him in the first place has left the guards behind. Then the guards must have received instructions about the old man breaking free from his restraints, and ninety-nine times of this instruction was to kill him or imprison him again. It was impossible to let him go anyway.
This old man tried to control the guards by relying on the so-called relationship he had established with them during his years of imprisonment. This was simply a dream. Although they have minds of their own, the Guardians are more like robots, more loyal to their orders than their own desires.
Our side quickly passed the circle of monsters after leaving the old man behind. After the old man reacted, he immediately got up from the ground and wanted to catch up. But just when he was about to run over, the old man over there The monsters closed the circle again to block him.
Looking back at the old man, I reached out and made a move, and the eternity attached to him that suppressed his power immediately flew back and merged into the eternal body on the back of my hand.
"Okay, let them solve the rest by themselves. Let's figure out how to get out of here?" I said, looking at the entrance to the space in front of me.
This place is the place we entered here before, which is behind the waterfall. Because the main body supporting the seal, that is, the chain no longer exists, an entrance has been opened in this place. From here we can directly see the waterfall outside. However, although the entrance is open, we have a little trouble getting out.
You must know that Matsumoto Masahi and the others have been trapped here for several hours, and their status in Japan is not ordinary. With such an important person trapped here, Japanese players will naturally take care of him. Although they want to be concerned, everyone also knows that if they have the strength to enter this place rashly, they will probably die, so the Japanese players gathered outside the entrance and waited for their idols to come out.
Normally, it would be no problem for Matsumoto to congratulate them on going out at this time, but the question is what should we do?
This place is an advanced leveling area. Although it was previously known as the Devil's Forbidden Zone, all players who entered it died, and no one could come out alive. But Matsumoto was congratulating them on their safe entry and exit. Do other players want to come in and take a look? Even though Matsumoto Masaru and the others persuaded everyone not to go in and watch the fun on the grounds that it was dangerous and unsuitable to enter, there were always those who were particularly curious among the crowd. Matsumoto Masahiro and the others can call on most people not to enter here, but there will always be people who come in. Once these people enter here, they will discover the existence of me, Zhenhong, Kristina, and gold coins.
Just like it is impossible to explain how an orphaned man and an orphan live together in the same room, we stayed in a closed space with Matsumoto Masa for a period of time. This is also something that cannot be explained, especially since Matsumoto Masa and the others have not been there since they left. It's clearly marked, but it's even more unclear. Therefore, we cannot go out in such an open manner, otherwise it will inevitably cause Masamoto Matsumoto's credibility in the hearts of Japanese players to decline. This is something we never want to happen.
"What are we going to do?" (To be continued...)
