Chapter 2180: Searching for the Guardian Beast
After following the Black Tortoise King out of this place, the two of them rushed straight to a certain direction without hesitation.
Along the way, the wind whistled in their ears, like an exciting war song played by nature.
The wind whistled, as if to sweep away their figures.
The scenery that passed by quickly was like a series of flowing paintings, from the dense and deep ancient jungle with a mysterious atmosphere, to the barren mountains with rugged rocks, like giant beasts lurking, to the sparkling and quiet lakes with unknown secrets, constantly changing, dazzling.
Matthew's hair fluttered in the wind, his clothes rustled, he squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the front, wondering what he was thinking.
The Black Tortoise King seemed very sensible and well-behaved. It slightly tilted its huge head, took the initiative to break the silence during the rush, and chatted with Matthew.
The deep and powerful voice could be clearly heard in the wind: "Master, let me tell you about the various situations inside the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion."
As he spoke, he described the layout of the treasure pavilion, the distribution of treasures, and the locations of those hidden in the dark, or mechanisms or traps.
While listening, Matthew secretly verified it with the introduction that Na Luo had given him before.
He found that what they said was roughly the same, but the Xuanwu Beast King, as the undisputed king of this area, had lived on this land for countless years and knew every blade of grass and every brick and tile here. The content it described was undoubtedly much more detailed.
The addition of those subtle details made Matthew's understanding of the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion more three-dimensional, as if he had been in it and witnessed the intricate passages and shining treasures with his own eyes.
During the high-speed flight, Matthew suddenly fixed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and asked the Black Tortoise King about matters related to the guardian beast.
When the Black Tortoise King heard this sudden question, his flying posture paused for a moment, and a glimmer of thought flashed in his big eyes like copper bells, as if he was quickly searching for relevant information in his mind.
After a moment, he slowly said: "As for the guardian beasts... I do know where they are. However, those guys have never had any dealings with us beasts. They are like hermits who are isolated from the world, always curled up in some remote, hidden corner, living a life isolated from the world."
"For so many years, they have been like quiet shadows, without any substantial impact or interference on us. So, we are too lazy to pay attention to them. I wonder why you suddenly asked about the guardian beasts, Master?"
Although he was somewhat curious, the Xuanwu Beast King still upheld his loyalty to Matthew and honestly told him everything he knew.
Matthew nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said solemnly: "I have obtained some crucial information. We need to get rid of seven guardian beasts on this journey, and we may need your help at that time."
When the Black Tortoise Beast King heard this, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes. He patted his chest, and the sound was like thunder: "No problem, although the guardian beasts are powerful, they are definitely not my opponents. Coincidentally, there is a guardian beast nearby. Master, are you planning to go there now?"
The Black Tortoise Beast King now dared not have any disloyalty in front of Matthew. As long as Matthew did not make excessive demands, it would do its best to satisfy him.
Matthew lowered his head and pondered for a moment. In his heart, he was also secretly estimating the strength of the guardian beast. After all, he had never confronted it head-on, and he really didn't know the details.
But seeing that the Black Tortoise Beast King took the initiative to show goodwill and was full of confidence, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "Since there is such help, why should I be timid? I might as well go with the flow and enjoy the fruits of my labor."
Thinking of this, Matthew raised his head and said with a firm look: "Since you said you have the ability to get rid of the guardian beast, let's go over there and try."
"Okay, master, follow me."
The Black Tortoise Beast King nodded in response, and his huge body turned nimbly in the air, and the direction suddenly changed, flying in another direction like an arrow from a string, and the airflow behind it was disturbed.
Seeing this, Matthew did not hesitate, and immediately accelerated and followed closely.
The figures of the two soon disappeared between the vast sky and earth, leaving only the whistling wind.
As they continued to approach the habitat of the guardian beast, the air around them seemed to become heavy, faintly exuding a sense of oppression.
The Black Tortoise Beast King also slowed down, and all the scales on his body were tightened. He secretly mobilized the powerful strength in his body to prepare for the upcoming challenge.
They carefully shuttled between a valley shrouded in fog. There was a rugged and slippery mountain road under their feet, and there was a thick fog covering the sky and the sun above their heads. The visibility was extremely low.
But the Black Tortoise Beast King relied on his familiarity with the terrain to lead the way steadily in front, while Matthew was concentrating on paying attention to the movements around him, not letting go of any slight movement.
I don’t know how long I groped in this fog, and suddenly there was a faint roar from the front. The sound was dull and distant, as if it came from deep underground, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
The Black Tortoise Beast King’s eyes were stern, and he whispered to Matthew: "Master, the guardian beast’s nest should be ahead, let’s be careful."
Matthew nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and moved the spiritual power in his body to the extreme, following the Black Tortoise Beast King step by step towards the source of the sound.
When they finally pushed aside the layers of fog and saw the scene clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.
They saw a huge guardian beast with a strange blue light emanating from its body, lurking in the center of the valley. Its eyes were like burning blue flames, staring at the intruders intently, its fangs flashing coldly, and every breath was accompanied by a strong fishy smell.
It was surrounded by a layer of mysterious energy shield, with runes flashing on the shield, which obviously had a strong protective ability.
Seeing this, the Xuanwu Beast King was the first to let out a thunderous roar to protest against the guardian beast.
The roar contained its majesty and power as a king, and the sound waves spread in the valley like ripples, shaking the surrounding rocks and rolling down.
The guardian beast was not to be outdone, and suddenly stood up, its huge body covering the sky and the sun, it waved its thick forelimbs like pillars, brought a gust of wind, and pounced on the Xuanwu Beast King.
The two of them wrestled with each other in an instant. For a moment, sand and rocks flew, lights flashed, and the valley was filled with fierce collisions and roars.
