Chapter 504: The Destined Person
Faced with the unknown barrier shield, it was right for Li Ce not to act rashly.
If the barrier shield has some kind of autonomous defense and counterattack mechanism, they would be in big trouble if they took action.
The lizardman's temple is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The outer hall was originally where the high priest lived, while the inner hall is covered by a barrier.
After passing through the outer hall, the group soon arrived outside the inner hall.
Looking at the inner hall in the distance, before he walked in completely, Zhou Xu inexplicably felt something strange, which made him distracted for a while, until Li Ce's voice rang out.
"My king, please be careful."
As Li Ce spoke, he raised his hand to signal Zhou Xu to move back and not come any closer.
"The barrier is just ahead."
As he spoke, Li Ce walked forward a few steps while maintaining the posture of raising his hands horizontally and extending them forward.
Soon, he felt as if he had touched a transparent wall and stopped. During this time, the barrier that Li Ce touched caused a slight ripple, which Zhou Xu also saw.
"For now, it seems like a transparent wall. Just touching it doesn't seem to cause any harm to us."
"Let me try."
From the beginning, this inner hall has been giving him a strange feeling, which inevitably made Zhou Xu feel a little concerned.
Taking a step forward, Zhou Xu approached steadily, then raised his hand as well, trying to touch the barrier.
He never thought that the moment his fingertips touched the barrier, his hand seemed to sink into a calm lake, and the back of his hand was quickly submerged.
"Your Majesty!"
This scene startled Li Ce, who mistakenly thought that Zhou Xu's approach had accidentally triggered some barrier mechanism, causing him to subconsciously pull him behind him as quickly as possible while looking at the barrier with a wary look on his face.
"Are you all right, my king?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm fine."
He took a look at his hand that had accidentally been stuck in the barrier. It was intact, without any damage or discomfort.
This made Li Ce feel greatly relieved. If Zhou Xu was injured because of his negligence, he really didn't know what to do.
In fact, Zhou Xu himself was also frightened by that move just now.
This made him even more certain that the strange feeling this inner hall gave him was definitely not an illusion.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu turned around and looked at Wang Pengfei who was following behind him.
"Pengfei, what do you feel when you look at that inner hall?"
When faced with the question, Wang Pengfei shook his head like a rattle, as if he was afraid that if he shook it half a second slower, he would be associated with the inner hall.
If, when he first came here, he might have still had some illusions about being the 'protagonist'.
Now he has fully recognized the reality and knows that he is not cut out for it.
His current state is that he doesn't want to have anything to do with anything dangerous. If possible, he would rather go back to Tieshan Village to continue doing odd jobs, bragging with the villagers on weekdays, and living a fulfilling life.
But their king wouldn't let them.
So now Wang Pengfei's main focus is to live a low-key life, and he is thinking in his heart when he can "retire and return home".
Seeing Wang Pengfei's reaction, Zhou Xu waved at him without further ado.
"Touch it and try."
Wang Pengfei's first reaction was to refuse, but he knew that their king was not discussing with him at the moment.
In addition, judging from the situation of their king just now, this barrier should not have much lethality.
Thinking of this, Wang Pengfei, who had no way to retreat, plucked up his courage and stretched out his hand towards the barrier.
The distance between the hand and the barrier was only half a meter at most, but for Wang Pengfei it felt like an age, and the entire process was filled with tension and anxiety.
Until the moment his fingertips touched the barrier, Wang Pengfei was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face quickly turned into surprise.
"No, I can't get my hand in there."
Then, without waiting for Zhou Xu to question, he immediately emphasized one more sentence.
“I can’t really get in there.”
As he spoke, as if to increase the credibility of his words, Wang Pengfei simply placed his hands on the barrier at the same time and did two push-ups.
His expression throughout the whole process was so arrogant that Zhou Xu rolled his eyes and was speechless.
However, his action indeed fully proved that he was really blocked outside by the barrier.
[It seems that the key factor is not the 'Chosen One', but me? Or is there any other key factor that I haven't discovered? ]
This made Zhou Xu a little confused about the situation.
With this doubt in mind, Zhou Xu decided to try again.
As expected, his palm went straight in. This time he even stretched it forward a little further, inserting half of his arm directly in. He did not feel any obstruction, and the process of pulling it out was not restricted at all.
Coupled with the strange feeling he felt throughout the whole process, Zhou Xu couldn't help but become more curious about this inner hall.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Zhou Xu's words made Li Ce's face change immediately.
"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!"
Although Li Ce couldn't understand why the barrier didn't work for their king, it was too dangerous to let their king go in alone when none of them could get in.
Zhou Xu was well aware of Li Ce's concerns, as he was a cautious person by nature.
But the feeling he had now was really strange. He even felt as if something was calling him inside.
Of course, as the king now, his influence is too great to take risks lightly.
Taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu made some preparations and spent a day asking the soldiers to deliver the three-bow crossbow.
By the way, I also called Wang Dong over to try out this barrier.
It turned out that Wang Dong was also blocked.
So far, he is the only one who has been able to pass through this barrier.
This couldn't help but give Zhou Xu more ideas.
"Okay, after I go in, if I haven't come out after three hours, you guys try to use the three-bow crossbow to break through the barrier."
As long as they maintain a safe distance, even if this barrier has a counterattack mechanism, it should not cause too much damage to them.
Seeing that Zhou Xu had made up his mind, Li Ce and the others didn't say anything more.
After giving brief instructions on things outside, Zhou Xu did not hesitate and walked directly towards the barrier of the enchantment. Under the gaze of everyone, he easily passed through the expansion.
At that moment, Zhou Xu only felt that the space he was in had changed completely.
It was still daylight outside, but when he turned around, he found himself in a dim temple. His sight was unconsciously attracted by the huge figure lying on the altar, which was the only source of light here.
It was a giant white dragon, emitting pure white fluorescence all over its body, just like a bright moon. At this moment, it was folding its huge dragon wings and sleeping soundly on the altar.
However, in the next second, as if noticing Zhou Xu's presence, Bai Long's eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of eyes as beautiful as sapphires.
[The destined person. The last descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You have finally arrived here as promised, Zhou Hongxu...]
