Chapter 822: 822

“Didn’t I say that we come from the same hometown? You also came from the Eastern Wasteland, correct?” said the bell .

Long Chen was startled, never having expected this bronze bell to know this . But he didn’t say anything . He could trust it just based on this .

This trial had been extremely strange and ruthless . Those one hundred and eight pillars had been able to peer through all his Battle Skills and magical arts, and perhaps they had even been able to rifle through his memories . Otherwise, Blooddrinker wouldn’t have appeared . So while Long Chen was surprised, he couldn’t reveal that, nor did he say anything .

This bell was particularly strange . It was already in such a broken state, and it was bound by countless divine chains, but Enchanted items would instantly explode upon coming into contact with it

“Hehe, brat, you’re very interesting . Sometimes you’re as impetuous as an idiot, sometimes you’re crafty like a fox . What a marvel,” laughed the bell .

“What’s your goal?” Long Chen didn’t like beating about the bush .

“Bring me out of this place . ”

“Are you joking? An existence as strong as you requires me to bring you out?” snorted Long Chen .

“I’m not joking . In truth, we have quite the destiny between us . I’ve been locked in here for too long . Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds extracted my core energy to maintain their trials, and now I’ve already reached my breaking point . If you don’t bring me out, then it won’t be long before I completely disappear from this world . As an item-spirit, my core energy is my life energy . I hope you can help me . I can give you a satisfactory repayment,” said the bell solemnly .

“How do I know you won’t kill me once I save you? To tell you the truth, this is already the third time I’ve run into such a scenario . The last two were played to death by me, and I also gained quite a bit of profit . But I sense something dangerous about you, and my guess is that I won’t be able to obtain anything good from your body . ” Long Chen shook his head frankly .

“Benefits? For now, I wouldn’t be able to give you anything . But once I return to the Martial Heaven Continent, I’ll definitely give you an immense reward . ”

“And how am I supposed to believe you?” asked Long Chen . He couldn’t sense any fluctuations from the bell, but his intuition said that this bell’s origin was beyond imagination, or it wouldn’t be locked in here .

If it was an evil weapon, then wouldn’t he be doomed? So of course he was still hesitant .

“Is the name of the Eastern Wasteland Bell enough to win your trust?” The bell was silent for a long while before suddenly speaking .

Long Chen cried out in shock, “The Eastern Wasteland Bell?!”

Wasn’t that a divine item from the era of legends? The rumor was that the Eastern Wasteland Bell had been the protective divine item of the Eastern Wasteland, and it had controlled all the Eastern Wasteland’s karmic luck .

There were myths and legends that said the Martial Heaven Continent had once been five blocks, but it wasn’t like it was currently . Those five regions had actually been led by the Eastern Wasteland . Unlike now, it had been the Eastern Wasteland that had been the strongest .

The legend was that the other regions also had divine items controlling their karmic luck . But the Eastern Wasteland Bell had been the strongest, the leader of the five divine items, which had allowed the Eastern Wasteland to dominate the five regions .

But legends were legends . There were few people that believed in them . They were just imaginary things seniors liked to tell children .

So hearing the name of the Eastern Wasteland Bell today, that name was like a hammer striking Long Chen’s heart .

Looking at this foot-tall bell that was covered in cracks and looked like it might shatter at any moment, Long Chen truly found it difficult to a.s.sociate it with that legendary divine item .

But for some unknown reason, Long Chen trusted it . That was the intuition that stemmed from the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . That intuition had never misled him .

“What should I do to help you?” asked Long Chen .

“You trust me?” The bell was a bit surprised .

“Yes . ”

“Thank you . That’ll save me a great deal of trouble . If you asked me too much, it would be hard on me . There are many things that I can’t say,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“Since I’ve chosen to trust you, I won’t be so fussy about it . Helping senior is helping myself . I hope that when I one day fall into danger, senior can help . ” Long Chen smiled .

“Hahaha, that’s a good temperament . Don’t worry, I don’t like owing people . Come, first I’ll teach you how to break these chains . ”

Long Chen returned to the room . He slashed Flying Rainbow directly through the ground, creating a large crack .

Gently opening the crack, he saw an underground room in which countless formation lines were continuously moving like snakes .

This was the core of this trial region . It was also the crux of the entire grand formation that controlled the operation of the trial region .

It was constantly drawing out the Eastern Wasteland Bell’s energy to maintain the trials . According to reason, the Eastern Wasteland Bell should have long since run out of energy and shattered . But then it said that at a certain time, the number of trial takers had dropped precipitously, and so it had taken less of its energy . It slowly found a way to absorb the energy within this room’s treasures and other rewards so it could last longer .
