Chapter 1651 Guardian Spiri (2/2)
Tap!
One hand suddenly appeared, pushing the door open.
Han Sen looked at the hand that was holding the bronze door and noticed that it was rather skeletal in its appearance. Although it had kept the shape of a hand, the skin was thin and dried up against the bone. It was like birch bark, and it looked creepy. It looked dead.
The hand grabbed the bronze door and slowly opened it.
As the door opened toward them, Han Sen saw beyond it. He couldn't see much, but a massive support pillar with visible, holding up the roof.
The bronze door opened halfway, and when it did, Han Sen could see the master of the hand.
It was a being that was garbed with a black cloak. Aside from the hand, Han Sen couldn't discern anything more about its body. The entire being was wrapped up by that same cloak. All Han Sen could truly notice was the rough outline of its body, which looked rather human.
Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura again, but he was unable to feel anything. The man in the black cloak looked dead; it was as if he had no lifeforce.
”Since you are here, come on in.” The cloaked man opened the bronze gate fully now, and he stood at the entrance as he spoke.
He looked toward Han Sen and the others before making a clanging, metallic sound. It was quite spooky.
”What is your name?” Han Sen asked the cloaked man, very alert.
”I am already dead, so what would be the purpose of having a name? If you require one, refer to me as the Guardian Spirit.” The creepiness of the cloaked man's voice would strike so much fear into a person, their teeth would chatter.
He lowered his head as he spoke, too. His face was fully concealed by the hood, like a spirit haunting a graveyard.
”Guardian Spirit, who are you protecting?” When Han Sen heard the name, he didn't feel any better. He wasn't quite willing to step forward, either.
”I am not guarding anyone now,” Guardian Spirit said coldly.
Han Sen frowned and gave the man another look. Then, he pointed to the tablets and asked, ”Are you guarding them?” Guardian Spirit suddenly laughed quite strangely and said, ”Yes and no. I guard them, but I don't guard them.”
”What does that mean?” Han Sen asked with a frown.
”You'll know if you come and see.” Guardian Spirit was still laughing quite strangely.
”Whatever you're guarding, I can't say I'm interested,” Han Sen said, and then patted his Golden Growler as an indication it was time to leave. It turned around and started to.
The place was weird. Han Sen thought he was invincible in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, but there were still many strange and creepy things occupying that realm. And so, Han Sen did not think he could kill everything. After he saw Stay Up Late, he knew he was not as immortal as he fancied himself.
”Even though you are here, you do not want to take a look?” Guardian Spirit asked quietly.
Han Sen ignored him and hurried Golden Growler away. But he walked so slow now, like some phantom force of power was them back. Golden Growler began to slide backward. He slid all the way back until they were pulled right inside the bronze palace.
