Gong Hao had long wanted to go to the spatial gate through Lancelot.
Of course, he also knew how dangerous such actions were.
But he had no choice.
Gong Hao didn't believe that his wisdom could surpass the combination of countless outstanding alchemists over the past thousands of years. How could he complete the energy maintenance problem that they had failed to complete?
Therefore, he needed to personally see how the Space Gate worked and understand its mysteries.
The Space Gate itself was not dangerous, but there was an Abyssal Demon Dragon sleeping beside it.
He was a terrifying person who forced Lancelot to flee.
It was not easy to admire a door beside it.
"I'm really crazy. Xiu Yi, you're crazy too. We're actually going to provoke that big guy. Oh my god, what's wrong with your brain? Just to see that door? Was it worth it? I can totally tell you what that door looks like.”
On the way, Lancelot grumbled incessantly.
He complained about why he had agreed to Gong Hao's request to bring him to the deepest and most dangerous place in the central region just to let him take a look at the door.
" I'm not a painter, Lord Lancelot. What I want to know is not what it looks like, but the meaning of its existence and the principle of its operation.”
Gong Hao said with a smile.
"You're a lunatic, Xiu Yi."
"Alchemists are all lunatics. George Lamborne was a lunatic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invented alchemy. Elektra was also a madman. He pushed alchemy to the peak. Even my mentor, Master Heinz, is a lunatic. That's why he was able to spend 20 years here studying alchemy. Oh, don't look at me like that. I dare to say that to my mentor, and he will definitely think that it's a compliment. People often said that geniuses were always crazy. In order to investigate that unknown secret, we are willing to take risks, including giving up our lives. So, I wish I was that crazy too.”
Gong Hao said meaningfully.
The central area of the Purgatory Island forest was about twenty square kilometers.
Even though Lancelot had entered the central region many times, he had never truly ventured deep into it.
Previously, Lancelot had gone to the deepest part of the Soul Seed, but he almost didn't make it back alive. This time, he had no choice but to enter this area with Gong Hao.
Lancelot hoped that the Mystic Dragon had already fallen into a deep sleep, even though the possibility of that happening was very small.
As they went deeper, the originally dense forest gradually became sparse, and the surroundings gradually became desolate. In the depths of the forest, there were no birds chirping, and very few magical beasts lived in this area. The terrifying creature from the abyss had almost monopolized the entire central area, making this place exceptionally sinister and treacherous.
Stepping on the fallen leaves and walking behind Lancelot, Gong Hao could clearly see that Lancelot was becoming more and more cautious.
He no longer walked around casually. Instead, he chose empty spaces to land on as much as possible and tried his best not to make a sound.
This meant that danger was approaching.
Gong Hao vaguely felt that the tenant in his body seemed to be starting to become restless. After being silent for a long time, it finally began to become restless.
It was a strong call from the depths of his soul.
The mood of the new tenant was becoming intense, but it was unknown whether it was excitement or fear.
Gong Hao immediately understood. This unknown creature had clearly sensed the powerful existence not far away and reacted instinctively.
"Lancelot."
"Shh!" Lancelot immediately turned around and gestured for him to shut up.
"I just want to say that you can stay here. I can walk the path ahead myself."”
Lancelot's eyes were filled with anger. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Gong Hao's words. This was an insult to the dignity of a warrior.
" Don't misunderstand, Lancelot. I think it's better for you to stay here than to bring me in.”
Lancelot looked at him in surprise.
"That demon dragon is very powerful, right?" Gong Hao asked softly.”
Lancelot nodded.
"You're not its match?"
Lancelot nodded helplessly.
"Then you see, there's not much difference between you going in with me and me going in alone. We're not its match even if we join forces. You've fought it before, so I guess it doesn't have a good impression of you. But I am different. I'm weak, but because I'm weak, it might not be interested in killing me. Just like how humans wouldn't step on every ant they saw, they would only be interested in those who had the ability to resist but were no match for them.”
Lancelot understood.
Gong Hao continued,"You let me go in alone. You stay here." Trust me, trust my experience in dealing with magical beasts. Even if it was a man-eating beast, it would have time to rest after eating its fill. They wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit them. Humans were like this, and so were Magical Beasts. If you go, it will feel threatened, and I might suffer the consequences. So, listen to me, okay? You didn't abandon me. You protected me. It's just that your protection mission ends here.”
"Alright then." Lancelot nodded.
"Trust me, Lancelot. I'll be fine." Gong Hao smiled. I have a feeling, a very strange feeling, as if there is something calling me, as if there is a voice echoing in the depths of my soul, that voice telling me that I am safe…This feeling has been lingering in my mind for a long time, I believe this feeling, and now it is getting stronger. So, Lancelot, remember, no matter what happens, don't go in.”
With that, he walked into the depths of the forest.
——————————
In the deepest part of the darkness, a red door of light was swallowing and spitting fire-like energy. It was the spatial door that led to the Abyss.
It did not look like a door, but more like a huge energy black hole or a flaming passage. Just by looking at it from afar, one could feel the huge energy storm inside the passage.
Surprisingly, the massive energy did not rush out of the passage. Instead, it continued to wreak havoc in the passage, like a trapped beast that never stopped ramming in all directions, but could not dissipate. Thus, it had to maintain the passage between the two worlds. The price was that although the passage was established, no one could easily enter and exit.
Gong Hao didn't see the so-called powerful demon dragon nearby. It seemed to be sleeping somewhere.
This made Gong Hao even bolder.
He carefully approached the Space Gate and stood at the furthest point that the energy could reach. It was as if there was a ball of fire burning in front of him, but it was only a hair away from touching him.
Gong Hao raised his hand gently.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch that thing.”A deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Gong Hao suddenly turned around.
Then, he saw a huge dragon head.
It was a terrifying creature with a ferocious horn on its head and a body that was dozens of meters long. Its teeth alone were comparable to Lancelot's magic sword.
Gong Hao had every reason to believe that as long as this demon dragon gently raised its huge claw and stepped on him, he would turn into a pile of meat paste.
It was hard to imagine how Lancelot managed to escape from the hands of this big guy.
Its breathing was like a hurricane, causing Gong Hao's body to sway. What was shocking was that when it arrived behind him, it did not make any sound.
This meant that this Demon Dragon Fruit was just as its name suggested. It did not just rely on physical strength to prove its strength.
Moreover, it was intelligent enough to speak human language.
If there was anything wrong with this big guy, it would probably be its remaining half of a pair of wings.
However, when faced with such a sudden and terrifying big guy, Gong Hao laughed.
Although he had never dealt with dragons before, this did not prevent him from communicating with any intelligent creatures.
In his opinion, a powerful opponent was not scary. What was scary was a powerful and foolish opponent.
This dragon could talk, was intelligent, and did not kill him immediately. It even reminded him of the danger of the door in a friendly manner. This meant that there could be a good start between them.
"I hope I didn't disturb your sleep, though I've tried to keep my footsteps light.”He used this sentence as an opening remark.
The Mystic Dragon's huge eyes revealed a strange color.
It seemed to be surprised by the youth's calmness.
Especially when he said that his secret infiltration was done out of kindness, it admired his ability to change right from wrong.
"In fact, I was indeed in a deep sleep at that time, but the one who disturbed me was not you."”
Gong Hao was slightly stunned. The Demon Dragon's words suddenly gave him a strange feeling.
He looked at his own body. The new tenant was currently emitting intense emotional fluctuations in his body.
The demon dragon calmly approached Gong Hao with its huge dragon head.
The huge pressure made Gong Hao almost breathless, but the demon dragon warned him very seriously,"Don't retreat, or the energy in the passage will tear you to pieces.”
Gong Hao took a few steps to the side. This allowed him to not have to face the demonic dragon. At the same time, he did not have to face the spatial door that was like a huge life trap.
Even though he knew that it was meaningless, at least it made him feel a lot more comfortable.
"I think the life you're referring to is the tenant who's currently living in my body, right?”Gong Hao chose his words carefully. Before he figured out the relationship between this demon dragon and the creature in his body, he didn't intend to immediately make friends.
"Tenants?" The Mystic Dragon's eyes revealed a hint of mockery."Is this how you address my child?”
A child? Gong Hao's mind buzzed.
The creature in his body was actually the child of this Mystic Dragon?
Damn it, I should have thought of this earlier!
Gong Hao suddenly remembered that a powerful creature that had more than three dormant states was at least a level-12 existence. On the entire Purgatory Island, the only powerful existence that surpassed level-12 was the Abyssal Demon Dragon in front of him.
It was perfectly normal for this tenant to be the child of the Mystic Dragon.
It was no wonder that when he approached this place, the little fellow in his body would emit such strong emotional fluctuations. It knew that he had returned home.
No wonder this Mystic Dragon woke up immediately after he arrived, but kindly reminded him not to touch the spatial gate... It was clearly not trying to protect him.
"Oh, I'm very sorry, Lord Mystic Dragon. I didn't know that it was your child, and I didn't take it away from you.”
"I know. It was that bastard kid outside who did it. That's why I wanted to kill him. Do you think I would be interested in the seeds of those weak life forms that he collected? Or am I so bored that I have to step on an ant just because it circled around me? I want my child back! The hateful thing is that this guy actually broke through while fighting me and actually successfully escaped. If I'm not wrong, you were the one who helped him, right?”The Mystic Dragon's voice was somewhat sinister.
"Yes, Sir. I hope you won't blame me for this." After all…I have your child in my stomach.”
Damn it, these words sounded so awkward!
The demonic dragon suddenly laughed strangely, just like the sound of a tsunami when a typhoon blew across the sea, causing people to tremble.
Then, it raised its head and let out a long roar. This roar shook the nine heavens and shook the beasts and birds away. Even Heinz, who was in the castle, heard it.
Lancelot's expression changed drastically.
