When Ethan walked up to the black hole space.
He reached out a hand and poked inside. There was no resistance at all.
It was as if the black hole didn't exist. You could see it with your eyes, but your body just ignored it and could pass right through with ease.
Ethan curiously stuck his head in as well.
And then…
He saw a whole new continent.
Ethan lowered his head and glanced beneath himself, only to find that below his body was completely empty. He stretched one hand in again, and then he saw that his wrist seemed to appear out of thin air in midair.
The rest of it had completely disappeared, like it had been cut off. It actually looked kind of fun.
If this were used for a magic show…
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"
Ethan couldn't help sighing in admiration. Forget those people who specialize in exposing tricks, even if the God of Magic David came, he probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.
And inside this black hole was actually just a long mountain tunnel.
There wasn't really anything special about it.
If he had to say what was special, it would probably be the strange lamps placed along both sides of the cave.
Those lamps looked like mermaids. They all had fish tails for their lower bodies and women's upper bodies, and in their hands they were holding a lamp.
They were the oldest kind of bronze kerosene lamps, with a faint light glowing from inside!
[Mermaid Oil Lamp: Because mermaid fat is said to burn for a thousand years without going out, many great wizards would capture mermaids from the sea in batches, then use magic to turn them into lamp stands, consuming their lives.]
[PS: The resentment of these mermaids will form strange magnetic fields. If you discover a mermaid oil lamp, pay attention to changes in the surroundings and leave as soon as possible.]
"Uh…"
'Why does this Land of Treasure look so much like Tomb Robbers' Chronicles?'
'Not only is it gloomy and kind of scary, it even has something like mermaid oil lamps. Who the hell is this trying to scare to death?'
Too bad. Once Ethan had drawn the bow, there was no turning back.
After his whole body entered the teleportation array, when he tried to turn around and leave, he found that he couldn't do it anymore. The teleportation array seemed to have disappeared.
When he reached out, he could only touch the cold, rough cave wall. He couldn't pass through smoothly like before.
But what was strange was… The scarecrow and Daji had both followed him in.
Daji came in first, and the scarecrow hopped in after her. Ethan had just been about to stop them, telling them not to come in right away, but to first put half their bodies in so he could test whether he could use the half-in, half-out effect to get back to the other side.
That way he would only need to leave one person here to jam the door, like blocking an elevator door.
Then it would be like leaving himself a way out.
As long as something felt wrong inside, he could turn around and run immediately.
At least he wouldn't lose even his escape route.
"Wait…"
Before Ethan could finish speaking, the scarecrow had already jumped in.
As for Daji, no need to mention her. Aside from Ethan, she was the fastest one here.
["My Lord, what's up?"]
Seeing that Ethan looked like he had something to say, the scarecrow quickly asked.
Ethan rubbed his head and said, "Nothing!"
["Oh!"]
The scarecrow responded.
It didn't take it seriously and instead started excitedly studying everything in the cave, ["Huh, I thought these lamp stands were stone carvings?"]
["They're actually real corpses. So novel!"]
["But aren't these mermaids too miserable? I only turned into a scarecrow. They actually had to be turned into lamp stands?"]
["Poor things, poor things!"]
["Blah blah blah…"]
The scarecrow muttered to itself, who knows what it was babbling about.
At this moment, Ethan happened to see the white eagle at the very back of the group slowly swaying as it walked in. He quickly reached out and stopped it, "White Eagle, stop!"
"Coo?"
(´∀｀*)
The white eagle tilted its head at Ethan.
Although it didn't understand what its master meant, as an eagle, it just needed to do whatever its master said.
"Stand there and don't move."
Ethan let out a breath of relief. Luckily he reacted in time.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to jam the door.
Then… Ethan hugged the white eagle, then slid one hand in along the edge of its body.
Once again, Ethan felt that unobstructed sensation.
'It works!'
[One-Way Teleportation Gate: This kind of teleportation gate was designed by the Great Magister to allow entry only and no exit. It is usually used for certain competitions or special secret passages to prevent people from cheating.]
[PS: Great Magister is said to be a person from the Old World, but his outstanding designs have been repeatedly praised by the Magic World and he is even regarded as a legend of the Magic World.]
"Heh! Heh!"
Looking at the prompt on the teleportation gate, Ethan sneered, "This Zhang Lao Yao definitely never thought someone would get stuck in the middle, neither going in nor out! Hahaha, as long as I don't move, let's see how you close the door!"
"Coo? Coo?"
The white eagle looked at its master strangely.
Its master was really weird today. Hugging it was one thing, but now he was laughing so strangely.
It felt… Just like that red dragon in midair when it smiled at it.
'What's wrong with Master?'
"White Eagle, as the divine beast of the Ancient Tomb Sect, you must guard the door well, got it?", Ethan patted the white eagle's head, "No matter what happens, you cannot move! If something very serious happens, just shout 'Auntie,' understand?"
"Coo?"
The white eagle couldn't understand what its master was saying.
But it did understand "don't move" and shout "coo, coo," so it obediently nodded.
"Mm, very good."
Only then did Ethan take out a handful of spirit stones and place them in front of the white eagle, "These spirit stones are for you as snacks."
"You have to count them from the beginning to the end before you can eat one, got it?"
"After you finish one, you have to count from the beginning again before you can eat another."
"If you count wrong, you have to start over, or you can't eat!"
"Got it?"
"Coo!"
Hearing that these were for it to eat, the white eagle's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Spirit stones were its favorite snack. They were crunchy and refreshing, and they could replenish energy. There was nothing better than eating this.
But… The white eagle overlooked one thing.
It had only learned to count up to three. After that, it didn't know how.
So… When Ethan continued walking forward with Daji and the scarecrow, they could hear a strange counting sound coming from the end of the passage.
"Coo… Coo Coo… Coo Coo Coo… Coo Coo Coo?"
"Coo… Coo Coo… Coo Coo Coo…"
"Coo… Coo Coo…"
