Chapter 192 Ch 192: Congealing Bead
Alex was standing in front of the E Grade Dimension Gate, but he didn't have the key that would let him enter the Dimension Gate. This kind of dimension gate needs a key to access and enter.
So, he could only use force in the current situation. He took a step forward and waved his hand, bringing out the Heavy Earth Sword. Then he slashed out, causing a sword light to form in the air. Before the appearance of the sword light, a terrifying Sword Intent burst out in the surroundings that carried a peerless sharpness. When the sword light was formed, it also had the same attributes. The sword light then landed on the E Grade Dimension Gate.
Immediately, a series of rumbling sounds came from the empty air. Alex saw a faintly discernible scene. It was like a mirage.
Alex's figure flashed and he charged into it.
Although the distance was very close, it took Alex about seven minutes to pass through all the illusions and finally enter the hidden space!
Alex's feet stepped on the ground covered with grasses. The air here was fresh and refreshing, making one feel refreshed and energetic. The Spirit Energy here was abundant.
Alex started looking around. After about three hours of exploring, Alex stopped in front of the lake. He had already a rough idea of the layout of this small piece of land. It was a mountain range. There should be ten to twelve mountains around. All mountains have forests on them. And other than that, there was this lake where Alex was now standing.
This lake was extremely big and occupied all the space between four mountains. The lake water was clear and blue.
Alex took a deep breath and jumped into the lake. Instead of exploring the entire Mountain Range in search of the keys and Source Crystals, the reason why Alex chose to dive inside this lake is because of the lake outside.
Outside, the lake gave him the key to enter the Homeland of the Tribe of Tomorrow. That key was the long shaft. And a very common question appeared when he saw it in front of him right now.
Why would a lake appear in a mountain range, and a clear lake at that? This doesn't make sense.
Alex guessed that this lake should be special. Thus, diving into the lake.
The lake was much deeper than Alex had imagined. The deeper he went, the greater the pressure his body had to bear. Fortunately, Alex's body was shockingly strong. Otherwise, even those martial warriors who had just broken through to the Martial King Stage wouldn't be able to dive into the bottom of the lake.
After Alex dived into the bottom of the lake, he kept swimming.
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of him.
Alex immediately increased his speed and swam over. When he got closer, Alex could clearly see that the ball of light was about the size of a finger.
"Congealing Bead!"
Alex instantly recognized the origin of this bead. It was an extremely rare Royal Rank treasure. It could condense the water vapor that filled the sky and earth, forming rivers and lakes.
Alex had read about the Congealing Bead in his previous life at his father's library. It is a bead that could be used as a core to create a secret space. Looks like, this congealing bead is the core of this land. As long as Alex refined it, he would be able to control this entire Mountain Range!
Alex quickly approached the Congealing Bead. When he reached out his hand to touch the Congealing Bead, the mud at the bottom of the lake rolled. Instantly, everything around him became extremely muddy. Amid this turbid environment, two balls of blue light appeared.
The muddy lake water could not block Alex's vision. Alex could clearly see that besides the Congealing Bead, there was a python with a diameter of about two meters. On the head of this python, there was already a horn the length of a finger. Obviously, this python had already reached the point of almost transforming into a Flood Dragon!
Those two balls of deep blue light were emitted from the Demonic Python's lantern-like eyes.
This was a Crystal Transformation Stage Demonic Python, and it was about to transform into a Flood Dragon. They were at the bottom of the lake. If they fought, it would be very disadvantageous to Alex. Immediately, Alex chose to retreat.
The Demonic Python let out an angry roar when it saw Alex. A ball of light shot out from its mouth like a cannonball. Wherever the Cannonball went, the lake water was pushed aside. Its target was obviously Alex.
Alex immediately pulled out his Heavy Earth Sword. However, his strength was greatly affected in this area, which was nearly a thousand meters deep inside the lake.
When he took out the Heavy Earth Sword, it happened to appear in front of him just as the cannonball was about to hit him.
In the next moment, a terrifying force struck his sword. Alex borrowed this force and quickly rushed upwards.
The Demonic Python glanced at Alex, but it didn't continue to chase after him. Its eyes were filled with vigilance. The python wrapped its body around the Congealing Bead and placed it at the center of the python's body.
Alex rushed out of the lake and landed on the shore. Alex shook his numb arm. The strength of the Demonic Python at the bottom of the lake was just too strong. It was enough to deal with a Martial King. A Crystal Transformation Stage Demonic Beast's strength was actually equivalent to the strength of a Martial King Stage martial warrior, it was already a surprising matter. In addition, the Demonic Python had used the energy of the Congealing Bead to break through the shackles of its bloodline, allowing it to complete half of the process of transforming into a Flood Dragon. If the Demonic Python didn't leave the bottom of the lake, even if Martial Emperor came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to it.
It seemed that if Alex wanted to obtain the Congealing Bead, he could only use his wits to obtain it.
Just as Alex was in deep thought, he heard Light Devouring Beast's voice who told him not to worry and leave the demonic python to her.
Alex would obviously not reject her help. He once again dived into the lake and went to its bottom.
Once again, when the demonic python sensed Alex, it looked at him and was ready to attack. However, before it could take action, its face changed as it cowered and retreated. It was as if it had felt the aura of someone that could easily suppress even the bloodline of a Flood Dragon that was running inside its body. The demonic python let out a horrible hiss and tried to run away, however, a light arrow was shot that instantly pierced into its body, dyeing the water red. It didn't even get the chance to let out a last cry, for another light arrow was shot out that collided against its head, causing it burst into pieces immediately.
Alex was stunned when he saw this. He knew that Light Devouring Beast was going to take action, but he didn't expect her to kill the demonic python.
Maybe, she had already guessed the question in Alex's mind, she replied: "Don't worry about these useless things. I want you to hurry and refine the Congealing Bead, for it could tell you the location of Source Crystals."
As expected, Light Devouring Beast took the initiative to help Alex not because she really wanted to help him, it is because she wanted to know the location of Source Crystal that she could sense but can't find.
Well, no matter what, the fact that she helped him can't be denied.
Alex immediately arrive in front of the Congealing Bead, held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and started refining it.
The true master of the Congealing Bead was obviously the person who created this secret space hidden on the other side of the E Grade Dimension Gate. But that person was already dead, causing the Congealing Bead to become an ownerless object.
Alex succeeded on his first try. Now, he became the owner of the Congealing Bead which also made him the owner of this secret space.
Then, with the help of the Congealing Bead, Alex immediately found out the location of hidden treasures.
He started diving upward and soon left the lake. He shifted his gaze and looked in the direction of the seventh mountain. This mountain was the shortest one in this mountain range. But it was also the one that was hiding the treasures that Alex was looking for in its belly.
Without wasting any time, Alex soon arrived in front of Seventh Mountain. Then he followed a very narrow and dark tunnel that was created inside this mountain and arrived in front of a stone door.
Because of the Congealing Bead, Alex knew that the treasures he is looking for is kept on the other side of this stone door.
