Chapter 2769. Two Ape Mountain
The bell’s base was a hundred meters wide. It hung between the two mountains, and the mass and gravity of the bell made it an impressive sight to anyone within range.
Mystical engravings covered the surface of the giant bell, visible even from a great distance because of the size of the bell. The engravings looked rather strange. They seemed to depict a bird that was flying through a complex series of loops and twirls. Han Sen and the others were unsure what it meant.
But on the front of the bell, there was an engraving of a true god bird. There was no doubt about this picture; it represented a true god phoenix.
Many creatures stood across the bridge, looking up at the black-steel bell. But for some reason, none of them were fighting over it. They simply stared up at the object, enthralled.
Han Sen noticed Barr and Elder Nader among the creatures standing on the bridge. They were staring up at the bell with the same expression on their faces as they creatures around them. They weren’t trying to claim the item as their own, and neither were they leaving. They were transfixed. It was a strange thing for Han Sen to see.
Dragon One called to Barr, but Barr paid him no heed. The Destroyed’s eyes remained firmly locked on the bell.
“Something is wrong,” Dragon One said quietly. He looked in the direction of the black-steel bell and frowned.
There was no need for him to say it, though; Han Sen and Bao Lian had already noticed that something was off. Barr and the others seemed to have been trapped by some unseen force. Why else would they be ignoring people who were calling their names?
Han Sen secretly cast his Dongxuan Sutra. He focused his attention on the two mountains, the wood that bridged them, and the black-steel bell, hoping to discern a clue or two from them.
