Chapter 601: Should you eat the pie that falls from the sky?
Bai Qi's heart was beating fast as he watched the dragon lich getting closer and closer to him, and Nicholas reacted quickly, taking Bai Qi and the five pets into the Emerald Dream.
Regardless of why this dragon lich is still alive, judging from its aura alone, this dragon lich is definitely stronger than him.
However, just as the entrance to the Emerald Dream was about to close, a black aura suddenly spread in and quickly formed a talisman formation under Nicholas' feet, teleporting Bai Qi and his party out.
"This...can't even stop the Emerald Dream?"
Bai Qi was a little surprised when he saw this. The Emerald Dream is exclusive to green dragons. Unless there is an Emerald Mark, even a powerful enemy like the black dragon Aqua can only capture the location of Bai Qi and his companions by using the connection between the Emerald Vision and the main world.
And now, this dragon lich not only invaded the Emerald Dream, but also teleported them out directly. They didn't even have a chance to resist.
Why are all these secret realms so dangerous? Can’t there be a relatively peaceful one?
Bai Qi complained in his heart, but Nicholas quickly reacted and said.
"We have all been deceived. This dragon is not connected to the Emerald Dream. Everything we saw just now was just an illusion."
Nicholas looked at the powerful dragon lich in front of him, an emerald light flashed in his eyes, and the dragon lich's body suddenly disintegrated and turned into a black smoke.
When the smoke cleared, the true appearance of the eighth floor appeared in front of Bai Qi and others.
Black shadow power continued to escape from the broken sky, and the collapsed palace was more desolate than anything they had seen before. Only the hole that seemed to connect several secret realms remained the same.
"So, we have been affected by hallucinations since we entered the eighth floor?"
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows. It was bad enough that it affected them, but it could even affect Nicholas. What on earth was guarding the eighth floor?
"It should be, and the guy who influenced us is right there."
Nicholas pointed to the side of the cave, his eyes full of vigilance, and Bai Qi then noticed that right where the dragon lich appeared, a figure wearing a dragon head mask appeared at some point.
Ahhhh!
(Human, this guy is very dangerous!)
For the first time, Beta did not play around. He leaned over and stared at the figure, growling from time to time.
Although he could not detect any breath, the powerful perception brought by his ability to see everything was constantly reminding Beta of death.
This sense of crisis is no different from encountering the black dragon Aqua.
Maybe even stronger!
"Nicholas, is there a way to escape?"
Looking at the five pets who were facing a formidable enemy, Bai Qi quietly leaned over to Nicholas' ear and asked.
"It's too late. When I first came in, I was affected by this guy's aura and couldn't contact the Emerald Dream at all."
Nicholas shook his head and said, "The only option now is for me to hold this guy back, and Bai Qi, you let Epsilon take the opportunity to open the Emerald Dream and escape."
"Okay, be careful!"
Bai Qi didn't act pretentiously. Instead of staying and being a drag, it would be better to run away quickly.
It's not just villains who die from talking too much, but also heroes.
At this moment, the man in the dragon-headed mask seemed to have noticed Bai Qi and Nicholas' thoughts, and slowly turned his head to look at Bai Qi. Bai Qi suddenly felt as if some terrifying existence was looking down at him from another dimension, and his soul trembled unconsciously.
Buzz buzz buzz...
At this moment, the evolution egg suddenly shook, and red, blue and yellow light appeared on the originally transparent eggshell. Bai Qi suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.
"Um?"
A doubtful voice came from under the dragon head mask, and the cold aura suddenly dissipated.
"Strange intruder, tell us your purpose."
When the dragon-headed masked man said this, Bai Qi and Nicholas both froze in place. They looked at each other and saw each other's embarrassment.
"Well, do you believe me when I say we took the wrong road?"
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said.
Judging from his appearance, he is most likely the owner of the Dusk Tomb, the dragon lich.
Although exploring secret places is a normal thing in the Federation, it is a bit awkward to suddenly run into the host.
The most important thing is that they are unable to defeat this master.
"I believe it."
The dragon lich nodded slightly, looked at Bai Qi and Nicholas who were in shock, and said, "The last human who came here told me the same thing, and he also helped me repair the first eight floors of the tomb."
“So, I believe it.”
Hearing the dragon lich's words, the man, the dragon and the five pets looked at each other in surprise.
Ahhhhh?
(Human, why do I feel like this guy is a fool ?)
Click, click.
(Gama also thinks so, and seems to be very innocent. )
"I think so too. How about we go and trick him?"
Crunch.
(No, this guy is dangerous, we can't take any risks.)
Bloopers.
(The surrounding space was blocked by him, and Delta also thought it was better not to take any risks.)
"Don't worry, since the other party hasn't taken action, there's something to talk about."
Listening to the five pets communicating through the contract, Bai Qi nodded slightly, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Can I leave now?"
"sure."
Contrary to Bai Qi's expectations, the dragon lich agreed to Bai Qi very readily. However, before Bai Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, the dragon lich continued to speak.
"But you need to do me a favor before I can let you leave."
"no problem!"
Before the dragon lich finished speaking, Bai Qi agreed directly, leaving Nicholas confused.
"Bai Qi, why did you agree so readily? What if we can't do it?"
Nicholas asked quietly.
"Never mind him, just agree to it first, and then we won't care about it after we leave here."
Bai Qi shrugged and said, "And do you think I can refuse now?"
"It seems...I can't..."
Nicholas shook his head. Although the aura of this dragon lich was a little strange and a bit unrealistic, Nicholas did not do anything rash out of caution.
In case the opponent is really strong and they arouse the opponent's hostility, Nicholas will not be able to guarantee Bai Qi's safety.
Well, it seems that the retreat time is not long enough. I need to go back and make more preparations.
The dragon lich didn't seem to hear the conversation between the man and the dragon. After hearing Bai Qi's agreement, he started talking to himself.
"As you can see, the Dusk Tomb was once penetrated by some extraterrestrial objects, which directly affected my hibernation. For some reason, I can't repair it, so I need you to help me repair it."
"Restoring the secret realm is too difficult. I can't do it..."
"If the repair is completed, I will give you a generous reward."
"It's settled then."
Bai Qi's attitude suddenly changed, and he directly agreed to the deal with the dragon lich. He then pointed to the huge hole behind the dragon lich and said, "But it is too difficult to repair the secret realm. I need some time."
"That's understandable. That's what the human said before."
The dragon lich did not doubt him and said, "Before repairing the secret realm, you must first remove the things attached to the wound of the secret realm."
"Those things?"
Bai Qi was a little confused when he heard this. After seeing the dragon lich retreat to the other end of the cave on its own initiative, he asked Nicholas to take him to the front of the cave.
Just as Bai Qi had guessed before, this hole should have been created by something like a meteorite. Now after looking at it up close, this guess .
Bai Qi even saw some green flames that had never been extinguished on the edge of the hole.
According to the dragon lich, there were humans who helped him repair the first few levels of the secret realm. From the information he knew, it was most likely the Emperor of Magic.
That person lived for more than a thousand years, which means that the Dusk Tomb must have been broken into even earlier.
The flame that had been burning for thousands of years was still green. Bai Qi had a basic idea of what the thing that smashed into the Dusk Tomb was.
"Gamma, can you confirm the origin of those flames? Is it evil energy?"
Click, click.
(Although it is very faint, it is indeed fel energy.)
Gama nodded and opened his mouth, wanting to move forward and absorb some.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately grabbed Gama and continued to ask: "Besides this, do I need to prepare anything else?"
"In addition to a creature or item that can purify this thing, we also need a creature that is proficient in space, a creature that can withstand the shadow explosion, and preferably one that has sufficient rune knowledge."
The conditions are so strict, you might as well just say that it's me who gets it.
Bai Qi looked at the dragon lich suspiciously, seriously suspecting that this dragon lich was just making up the story.
"In fact, many creatures came in before you came, especially the human who came in recently and a few strange things. They are stronger than you, but I didn't choose them."
"The most recent human to come... could it be the teacher?"
Bai Qi rubbed his chin and guessed.
"I see something special in you. Maybe you can help me completely repair this place, so I am willing to continue waiting."
As he spoke, the dragon lich waved his hand, and a dark ball of light flew up from under the hole, landed in the dragon lich's hand, and turned into a dark dragon horn.
"This is my deposit. It should be of great help to the growth of your pet. When you have enough strength, come and help me repair the secret realm."
The dragon lich paused and said, "I won't force you to repair it all at once, so I will pay you for each layer you repair."
He just paid the deposit directly. Was he overthinking it? Were all creatures so honest in the past? He felt a little embarrassed to continue fooling people.
Bai Qi looked at the black dragon horn slowly floating in front of him, feeling a little conflicted.
This pie fell from the sky, and it’s a big pie at that. Should I eat it?
