Chapter 298 It smells like you
"Come on, let's go take a look." Chu Xuanyi urged impatiently, "Maybe there are secret manuals passed down by ancient gods in there. If we pick up any of them, we'll be rich."
Xiao Yu was not as optimistic as him. He stared closely at the seemingly peaceful observatory, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger.
Xiao Yu protected Ajiu and flew carefully towards the bronze observatory.
The closer the distance, the stronger the vicissitudes and heavy atmosphere from ancient times become, making it almost suffocating.
Just when they were less than ten feet away from the outermost platform of the observatory, something strange happened.
"Buzz."
The entire bronze observatory suddenly emitted a heavy humming sound. Countless blue energy rays converged at the top of the spire in the center of the observatory and quickly condensed into an extremely huge human-shaped outline.
This figure was dozens of feet tall and was composed entirely of pure energy. Its entire body was a translucent azure color, and countless star-like light spots flowed on its surface.
It had no facial features and its face was a smooth, flat surface, but even so, the three of them could still sense an inviolable, sacred, and majestic aura from it.
"This...what the hell is this?" Chu Xuanyi was so frightened by this sudden change that he shuddered and almost fell from mid-air.
"Guardian Spirit." Xiao Yu said word by word, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, all the muscles in his body tensed.
The power emanating from the energy giant before them was far beyond their comprehension.
That is a kind of...power at the level of law.
As expected, the energy giant called "Guardian Spirit" by Xiao Yu did not give them any chance to communicate after it was fully formed.
It slowly raised its right hand made of light and waved it gently in their direction.
But Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and a fatal sense of crisis instantly enveloped their hearts.
"Get out of the way."
Xiao Yu roared, and while holding Ajiu, he bent his body into an incredible angle in the air and moved several feet to the side dangerously.
At his original location, a pitch-black, hair-thin spatial crack appeared out of nowhere, silently crossing the void and swallowing up everything in its path.
Chu Xuanyi on the other side also reacted very quickly. He rolled and crawled backwards. The space crack almost brushed past his nose, and the strong wind it brought twisted the strands of hair on his forehead into nothingness.
"Damn it! They're going to kill us the moment we meet." Chu Xuanyi broke out in a cold sweat, shouting with lingering fear, "They won't even let us say a word! How come this guard dog is even more of a villain than us?"
The guardian spirit's attack obviously would not stop because of his complaints. After missing the first strike, it swung its huge energy arm again.
Hundreds of tiny spatial cracks covered the three people like a rainstorm, blocking all their escape routes.
"Your Highness, this thing is unreasonable." Chu Xuanyi was about to cry, "It directly controls the laws of space. No matter how fast we are, we can't be faster than space itself. How can we defeat it?"
"Then break its laws." Xiao Yu sneered, and a domineering dragon vein ancestral energy rushed up from his body into the sky, and the golden aura enveloped him completely.
"Dragons fight in the wild."
He swung his sword, and an extremely condensed golden sword energy transformed into a roaring dragon that went upstream and bravely faced the rain of space cracks.
What happened next made everyone feel despair.
The golden dragon that was powerful enough to split mountains and cut rivers actually slowed down after rushing into that area, as if it had fallen into an invisible quagmire.
The golden light on the dragon's body was rapidly dimming, and its huge body was shrinking continuously. Its power was being frantically drained by some invisible thing.
Time lag.
The guardian spirit not only controls space, but also controls time.
In the end, the golden sword dragon completely lost all its power when it was still more than ten feet away from the guardian spirit, and disappeared silently in mid-air.
Those space cracks only paused for a moment before attacking again at an astonishing speed.
"It's over, what's the point of fighting?" Chu Xuanyi's face completely lost all color.
Attacks are ineffective and evasion is impossible.
Faced with this dimensionality reduction attack launched directly at the level of laws, all their means seemed so ridiculous and powerless.
Seeing that the rain of death was about to completely devour the three people, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. He was ready to break through the constraints of this law at all costs.
But at this moment, Ajiu, who had been protected in his arms, suddenly spoke.
"Brother Xiong Xiong, wait a moment."
"It has the same smell as you."
“Same taste?”
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned. He looked at Ah Jiu in his arms with a serious expression and couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.
What did he mean by the same smell? Besides a faint scent of ambergris and a hint of cold metal left by years of swordsmanship, what could he possibly have to do with this giant creature made of pure energy?
"Ajiu, now's not the time to research perfume formulas." Chu Xuanyi, standing beside him, was almost in tears. He watched helplessly as the densely packed space cracks drew closer and closer to them, his voice changing tone. "No matter what it smells like, if we don't find a solution, we'll be chopped into minced meat today, neatly and simply."
At this moment, the speed of the rain from the space cracks increased again, and it instantly pounced in front of the three people with a sharp whistling sound.
"It's over." Chu Xuanyi closed his eyes in despair.
"clang."
With a crisp sound of sword, Xiao Yu's figure had appeared in the front without him noticing. The long sword in his hand danced out hundreds of sword flowers in an instant, and each sword flower hit the weakest node of a space crack.
For a moment, countless dark cracks flew past the edges of the three people's bodies, cutting the void around them into pieces and forming an absolute death zone, but they could not hurt them at the center of the storm at all.
"Oh my God." Chu Xuanyi was stunned.
Xiao Yu's expression was extremely solemn, with beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead.
This operation consumes a huge amount of mental and physical energy. There can be no mistakes in every step, otherwise there will be no recovery.
"Its power is growing stronger," Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "I can't hold on for much longer."
This is indeed the case.
The guardian spirit seemed to be angered by Xiao Yu's "provocative" behavior. The huge body shone brightly, and the surrounding void began to twist and fold in a way visible to the naked eye.
Chu Xuanyi only felt a flash before his eyes, and the distance between him and Xiao Yu seemed to be infinitely widened. He was clearly very close, yet it felt like he was far away.
The next second, the surrounding scene suddenly pressed towards him, giving him the illusion that he was about to be crushed into a piece of paper.
"Space folding, space folding again." Chu Xuanyi screamed, "Brother, can you change your tactics? You always use such unreasonable tactics. How can you be called a hero?"
The guardian spirit slowly raised its huge energy palm and clenched it fiercely towards Xiao Yu who was struggling to resist the space crack.
"Hmm."
Xiao Yu groaned, feeling a force restraining him from all directions, making it extremely difficult to even move a finger.
He watched helplessly as those fatal space cracks approached him little by little.
He could see the darkness in the crack that was enough to swallow everything, and he could feel the tingling pain on his skin, but he could do nothing.
This feeling of powerlessness almost drove him crazy.
