Just as Dick reached out to touch the skeleton head, the skeleton suddenly spoke.
"Human, I'm very happy that you can come here. Your talent is beyond my imagination, but the path ahead is not easy."
Startled, Dick withdrew his hand. He looked at the skeleton head in front of him and asked in confusion.
"It's strange. Why do you call me that? Aren't you also a human? Since you can speak, I'd like to ask you, who on earth placed you here?"
The skeleton's mouth slowly opened and closed, making cracking sounds as if it was laughing, or as if it was beating.
"No, I'm not a human at all. I'm just using the form of a skeleton. I wasn't put here by others. I should have been here!"
A burst of duck-like laughter came out of its mouth, and then the skeleton head stopped moving. The crystal-like luster was gradually fading away, turning into an ordinary skeleton.
Dick stared at the skeleton for a long time. Finally, he was sure that there was no possibility for the skeleton to come back to life as before. He could only shake his head helplessly, crossed the skeleton and walked forward.
In front of him was an open space as big as two football fields. In the center of the open space, there was a huge stone pillar that pierced through the sky. No one knew how high it was.
There were countless complicated symbols engraved on the stone pillar, which looked like the strange words written by a mental patient, filled with incomprehensible weirdness. Every character seemed to be infused with life force, slowly twisting.
What was strange for Dick was that most of these characters were purple-black as if there was a strange force struggling within the characters and couldn't wait to rush out.
"Hint: you have arrived at the final place of the task. Please put the five beast kings' hearts into the stone pillar in corresponding order to wake up the barrier guardian."
The hint slowly appeared in front of Dick. Dick followed the guidance and walked up. As expected, at the bottom of the stone pillar, there were five square dents, and there was a tray in each of them.
At the top of the pit were engraved the symbols of the five elements, earth, wind, water, fire and wood, which were exactly the same as the elements badge that Dick had obtained before.
After Dick put the hearts of the five beast kings into the stone pillars in order, a layer of golden light rose from the stone pillars. The hearts of the five kings beat at the same time, making a drum-like roar.
Dick couldn't help but get excited. Finally, he was going to see the true face of the barrier guardian. Finally, he was going to open the barrier between No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village and the outside world!
In the midst of the golden light, a blurry figure appeared. It seemed to be slowly emerging from the golden sky with a gorgeous scepter in its hand.
The figure was so tall and strong as if it had condensed the most magnificent color in the world, making people involuntarily want to worship it.
While Dick was waiting excitedly, something unexpected happened.
In the golden light, the purple-black symbols on the stone pillar suddenly burst into a stronger light, and countless purple-black scattered in the golden light like blooming pigment.
In less than a minute, the golden light was dyed purple-black. At the same time, those strange characters were also twisted out of the stone pillar and slowly moved into the golden circle light.
They were like children who leaped with joy, stretching their bodies freely in the golden light. At the same time, they were like little demons in hell, swimming and screaming.
Dick's heart skipped a beat. He immediately activated the talent of chivalry to stabilize his spirit. There was a strange controlling power in the words. Dick didn't want to lose control of his mind.
Raising his head, Dick stared at the tall figure in the sky.
What made him feel creepy was that the brilliant figure had been stained with a faint purple color for some time, and it was uncontrollable. Countless lines followed the purple trace and poured into the body of the brilliant figure.
There should have been a pair of gentle eyes on its face, but now there was a pair of eyes of the demon from hell!
It finally walked out of the purple-black halo, but at this time, its gorgeous armor was covered with all kinds of distorted runes, which looked strange and frightening.
Its face was supposed to be glowing, but now it had a pair of bloody eyes. When it looked at Dick, the eyes seemed to pierce through Dick's body and seize his soul.
There was no doubt that the thing in front of him was definitely not a normal barrier guardian. It had been contaminated by some strange force and turned into this strange appearance.
"Hint: the barrier guardian has been infected by the aura of death, so it can't break the barrier around Green-Hand Village normally. Only by killing and purifying the soul of the barrier guardian could the barrier around Green-Hand Village be successfully removed."
"Hint: this is a special barrier after the difficulty doubled. It won't appear in the process of an ordinary upgrade. After completing it, you will get double rewards and a level-S treasure box."
Dick wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. It turned out that the difficulty increase was still reflected in the last level of the task, which he had never thought of before.
But since he had already arrived here, there was no way for him to retreat. It was just a blackened barrier guardian, and he could kill it!
The Eyes of God talent activated. The data of the barrier guardian made Dick gasp.
"Barrier guardian (eroded by the aura of death), level: LV25. Blood vitality: 3000, energy: 1600, strength: 1300, defense: 1300, agility:900. Talent: earth, wind, water, fire, wood. Skill: element integration. Explosive rate: 18%."
Almost all the attributes were more powerful than Dick's, and the grade was two levels higher than Dick's! This was the most powerful enemy Dick had ever faced!
More importantly, it had five elements as his talent at the same time! Five talents!
What made Dick more concerned was its talent and skill. How was the element integration? Could it directly fuse the two completely different elements?
All of these could only be explored in the battle.
