Everyone promptly agreed with Fire Dance's opposition.
They acknowledged that Shi Feng possessed frightening combat power. He was so powerful that he even suppressed the Rare Lord ranked Crimson Shadow Wolf in a direct confrontation. They, too, had previously thought Shi Feng might be able to oppress even a Great Lord by force, and that by the time they arrived at the Ruined Shrine in White Fog Canyon's core, they would have a chance of defeating the Level 25 Great Lord there.
After all, a Great Lord's loot was simply too tempting. It was especially true for a Level 25 Great Lord, as the Level 25 equipment it dropped was precisely what the core strength of the various Guilds needed right now. If they could obtain an Epic item, both the Guild's strength and morale would improve significantly.
However, now that they stood before Anubis's Gatekeeper, they suddenly felt very tiny.
A Great Lord and a High Lord were from different worlds entirely.
Escaping a Great Lord's wrath would be a miracle, much less defeating it.
Admittedly, a treasure hidden behind a Great Lord would be precious. However, if Shi Feng tried to snatch the golden stone tablet, there was more than a 99% chance that he would be throwing his life away. This was simply not a worthwhile tradeoff.
Moreover, heavens knew if the teleportation array would still work after Shi Feng stole the stone tablet.
On the off chance that it didn't work, they would all die here...
"Guild Leader, why don't we come back after we've grown stronger. It's not worth risking your life for an unknown treasure," Aqua Rose advised.
"You guys leave first. I'll try it by myself. If it really isn't possible, then we'll come back in the future," Shi Feng said, shaking his head.
Although what Aqua Rose had said was logical, none of them knew the significance of the golden stone tablet under a Great Lord's protection.
In his decade of adventuring in God's Domain, the treasures he encountered that had been guarded by Great Lords were at least Epic rank. Obtaining an Epic item was definitely worth dying once. If he came back for it in the future, there was a possibility of someone else claiming the golden stone tablet. After all, the Land of the Fallen Star was not particularly hidden.
When everyone heard Shi Feng's determination, they had no choice but to obediently head towards the teleportation array and prepare to leave the Land of the Fallen Star.
However, just as Aqua Rose was about to activate the teleportation array, her hands suddenly froze as cold sweat began to drip down her forehead.
Even the others at the teleportation array with her wore grim expressions. It was as if they were preparing to welcome a great enemy.
That cold and intense killing intent felt like they had been dunked in ice-cold water, and they suddenly struggled to breathe.
"Guild Leader, if we activate the teleportation array, the Gatekeeper will attack," Fire Dance whispered as she glanced at Anubis's Gatekeeper hovering in the air.
"We really have no options," Shi Feng laughed bitterly.
He currently had Omniscient Eyes active, so he felt the Gatekeeper's chilling gaze as well. As soon as Aqua Rose activated the teleportation array, Anubis's Gatekeeper would strike.
It usually took close to 20 seconds to activate a teleportation array. If the person activating the array moved during this period, it would automatically shut down.
