Chapter 88: The Contract and Being Called

The "passage" in the laboratory quickly returned to its usual calm, as Cyla had said. Seeing that there was no longer a vibration from the "passage", all the experimenters were also relieved.

The dark vortex that devoured Zheng Ming outside the Star Landing City also disappeared in front of Pilson and the others at the same moment when the "passage" returned to calm.

The people who kept attacking watched the whirlpool shrink and eventually turn into black dots and completely dissipate into invisibility, and they all stopped attacking and stood stunned on the spot.

At the same time, in the extreme west of the Starfall Continent, a huge mountain range called Erreth shook violently.

This continuous mountain range suddenly shook violently from the past, and for a time the gravel flew sideways, the ground cracked, and the ground shook, and the creatures inhabited on it suddenly jumped and jumped. Those who can fly and are fast can be lucky enough to escape the disaster, while those who can't escape in time are buried by the churning mud and smashed into flesh by the flying boulders.

As dirt and gravel fell, the scales underneath that exuded the smell of ancient decay were revealed. The dull scales are fan-shaped, each one larger than a football field.

"Roar~~~"

In the earth-shattering roar, the culprit who caused the tragedy was finally gone. It has the body of a lion, bat's wings, a snake's tail, limbs, and a head resembling a horse's head. At this time, it was roaring with its head held high in the sky.

Its tail is long and sinuous and ends full of sharp spines and barbs. At the end of each leg are huge claws that resemble carnivorous birds. The back is covered with thorny thorns. Rows of sharp teeth could be seen from its wide open mouth.

It has the appearance of a Western dragon, but unlike Western legends, it is much larger than the legendary creatures as large as a hill.

It turns out that the Erris Mountains before were this big and outrageous western dragon.

The Dragon, named Ereth, roared up to the sky and looked up thoughtfully, followed by a look of anger in his confused eyes.

"Who dares to disturb my Ereth slumber? em…… This fluctuation ...... Bright! How dare you covet the forbidden land of my Dragon? ”

Due to the anger and anxiety in his heart, Ereth's vast spiritual power poured out, rushing straight into the void above and spreading far away.

"Ming! You come out for me. If you don't explain it to me today, then wait for the war. ”

Just as Erreth was more and more shocked and angry the more he thought about it, a series of light spots suddenly appeared in front of it. These colorful spots of light were gathered together to form codes of unknown meaning, and then combined into a human face like a pixel game.

"Long time no see. Erreth seniors. ”

The pixel face opens and closes its mouth, and when it speaks, it has become no different from the face of an ordinary person. At this time, this huge face, which was not much less than Ereth, was looking at Ereth with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Long time no see...... Bah. Bright! Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on? ”

"Oh? I'm confused. You called me for no reason. What's going on? ”

"What happened? Feel the spatial fluctuations for yourself. This space-time tunnel that leads to the forbidden land of our clan, you dare to say that it is not yours? ”

Seeing Ereth roar in anger, the black-haired and black-eyed face closed his eyes and felt it for a while. As he closed his eyes, he felt the solemnity on his face fade away, turning into a strange smile. I saw that after he opened his eyes, he blew the black hair on his forehead, and said angrily.

"I warn you. Although you are a senior, I am not afraid of you. Get the facts clear before slandering others. This plane-time tunnel, while very similar to my 'tunnel', is not the same. ”

"It's really not you? Don't run, I'll see. ”

Erreth stared suspiciously at the other party's dark and deep eyes, and told the other party uncertainly, closing his eyes and feeling it. As its vast spiritual power quickly spread into the void, searching back and forth in the forbidden land, the expression on its face became more and more confused and embarrassed.

"How? Am I right? Found a human in the Forbidden Land? ”

Faced with an unhappy face, Eris was speechless for a while, and it could only resign itself to it.

"Strange. Even the Dragonborn can't get in there, so if someone breaks in, shouldn't they be unresponsive? Could it really be that there is a time-space tunnel that has no owner for a short time? ”

"Forget it this time. But I warn you, our people are not soft persimmons, and we will not be afraid if you want to go to war. Don't threaten me with war in the future. ”

"Hmph. I admit that your overall strength is enough to rival the upper races. But don't forget. You don't have a God after all! You can indeed hold off the lower gods, but what about the middle rank? What about the upper position? Demigods are just demigods after all. ”

"Then you don't have to bother. We have our own means and back-ups. ”

"You think you're the only one who has your hole cards? Which upper race doesn't have a killer or two? The heritage of the superior race is beyond your imagination. How many races that challenged the upper race since ancient times eventually disappeared? Which race is worse than you humans? I advise you not to make enemies everywhere. Ascending to the throne as soon as possible is the key. You have a long history of friction with the Warcraft and the Demon Clan. At this time, your attitude towards the outside world is still so tough, and you don't want to think about your own situation. If you want me to say that if you can let it, why bother to do it? I think ......"

"Cut, old fellow. I slept for thousands of years, and when I got up, I was preached. Obviously he couldn't beat me, so he left. ”

Seeing that the face disappeared without waiting for him to finish, Ereth sighed helplessly.

"Damn stinky boy. I was a cute little boy back then, but when did I become so annoying......"

Erreth looked to the east and sighed, then glanced at the forbidden land uneasily. In the end, it did not notice it in the slightest, shook its head in confusion, flew back to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Zheng Ming, who was sucked in by the dark vortex, fell into a trance, and only then did he come back to his senses. Unlike the last time, this time there is no CG picture like the opening of the game, no narration, and no explanation. Even the system has disappeared, generally without the slightest response. The only thing worth sobering up is that the pain that made Zheng Ming crazy also dissipated at the same time.

And that hateful dark vortex has returned to Zheng Ming's mind at some point.

"Where is this?"

Zheng Ming looked around at the surroundings. Find yourself in a void. It's neither black nor white, and there's nothing else around it. There is no ground, no sky, not even up and down. It tried to move forward. only to find that in this void like a gravityless space, it is a luxury to even move around at will.

"I'm stuck here."

It didn't take long for Zheng Ming to come to a conclusion. It found itself trapped in a hellish cage, with no way out.

Since there is no reference, Zheng Ming does not know how much time has passed. Maybe a day or two, maybe just a moment, maybe a long time has passed. Who knows? It only knew that in this silent, empty space, time seemed to be eternal, meaningless.

Just when it was tortured to the point of collapse. Suddenly, there was a call from the void.

"Follow the ancient contract and answer the call of the dragon god. My life is with you. I, Arthur Celtic Pendragon, as a descendant of the Red Dragon, call in the name of Pendragon. If you are willing to do what you want, respond. ”

Hearing the words that kept echoing in the void, Zheng Ming hurriedly shouted, "Who are you?" What do you mean? Do you have a way to get me out? However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the other party did not answer.

"If you are willing to do what you want, respond."

"If you are willing to do what you want, respond."

……

The voice continued to reverberate, forming an echo that poured into Zheng Ming's ears. Instead, it regained its senses and calmed its heart that was about to collapse. It stood there and thought carefully for a moment. In the end, I decided to give it a try.

"I do. I'm willing to answer your call! I, Zheng Ming, am willing to obey the contract and answer the call of Arthur Celtic Pendragon. ”

As Zheng Ming kept trying, a point of light suddenly appeared in the void. At the same time, a blood-colored and complicated six-pointed star formation suddenly appeared in the void, and Zheng Ming happened to be standing in the center of the six-pointed star formation. Before Zheng Ming could see the formation under his feet, suddenly the light in front of him emitted a thousand feet of light. The six-pointed star array also followed suit, releasing a faint blood light.

Immediately after Zheng Ming, who was pierced by the strong light, he disappeared into thin air, and the six-pointed star array and light points slowly dissipated into invisibility.
