Chapter 2: The Heart of the Half-Plane
"Good. β
Since Edman's alloy claws and canine teeth did not break through Matherridon's scale armor, Zhu Ba had a huge curiosity about the strange six-legged lizard in front of him, which was beyond the conventional size of the half-plane, coupled with the opponent's initiative to show goodwill, Zhu Ba agreed without hesitation.
Seeing Zhu Ba agree, Maseliton suddenly became happy, in this half-plane, powerful creatures of the same grade as themselves are rare, it can't be said to be a lord, and although there is a friendship between the lord and the lord, it is still based on the territory, and there are often conquests.
Now, Zhu Ba, a powerful man who has strength but no territory, and a strong man wandering around is in front of him, which definitely needs to be communicated well.
"Please!"
Matheriton took the lead and had already taken Zhu Ba to his cave.
The wide opening allows the moonlight to shine in, reflecting a brilliant purple light on a brilliant purple crystal.
"Pretty brother, Brother Efield, this is a purple crystal from a canyon in the northwest of the basin, containing strange powers that make living things bigger, and when I went to collect these crystals, the beetle next to me was the size of my claws. β
Matheridon turned back to Zhu Ba and showed off. He already knew Zhu Ba's name.
Zhu Ba looked at Matheridon's claws, which were a foot in size, and they were indeed quite large in this half-plane, and these crystals did have some effect.
Follow Maseriton into the cave, and then make a turn in the crystal, and suddenly dawn.
Dozens of feet in front of it was a cave the size of a basketball court and taller than a basket frame, illuminated by countless crystals that shimmered with white light, while hundreds of moonlit rats dressed in soft leather goods lined up to greet the two powerful creatures.
"Welcome home, great Hellfire Lord, and Friend of the mighty Lord, salute you!"
Hundreds of small greetings in the lingua franca of the ancient Pheron converged into a wave that echoed through the cavern as all the moonlit rats bent down toward Mathridon.
Matheriton tapped his head slightly, and all the moonlight rats scattered.
Walking slowly to the middle of the cave, Mathriton lay down on the flat ground of the cave first, and motioned for Zhu Ba to sit down as well.
After a moment of silent waiting, the scattered moonlight rats returned, some of them resisting brushes, some carrying wooden buckets, and more of them carrying scorpion-like creatures with two tails in pairs.
The moonlight rat carrying the brush lightly dipped in the bucket, then climbed onto Mathridon's body and began to wash it diligently, while the moonlight rat carrying the scorpion-like creature placed the creatures neatly in front of Juba and Mathriton.
"Brother Efield, you're welcome, this is a specialty of the Hellfire Peninsula, twin-tailed scorpion, please enjoy it slowly!"
Mathriton's eyes had narrowed into a slit, and the pleasure brought by the dozens of moonlight rats on his body to wash the scales made him indulge in it, and when he opened his mouth slightly, a pair of moonlight rats carrying two-tailed scorpions came to his mouth and threw the food into Mathridon's bloody mouth.
Zhu Ba lowered his head, and a strange burnt fragrance rushed into his nose, these twin-tailed scorpions, which were slightly smaller than fists, seemed to have been roasted, and the burnt red shell attracted Zhu Ba's taste buds.
Zhu Ba learned from Maseriton to lie down, opened his mouth slightly, and then a pair of moonlight rats came to Zhu Ba's mouth without fear and threw a two-tailed scorpion into it, and at the same time, several moonlight rats carrying brushes came to Zhu Ba's side, trying to climb Zhu Ba's body to clean Zhu Ba, but Zhu Ba refused.
Following the Moonlight Rats carrying the two-tailed scorpions, some Moonlight Rats came to the Second Beast with smaller buckets containing some pale yellow liquid.
Mathriton opened his mouth and let the moonlight rats pour the liquid into their mouths, slamming their mouths and saying.
"Taste this again, the juice squeezed out of the Hellfire Bone Leaf is absolutely delicious!"
On the recommendation of Maseriton, Zhu Ba also tried this so-called delicacy, and a faint aroma of wine lingered in Zhu Ba's mouth.
Neither Maseriton nor Juba spoke, just enjoying the food. Since joining the expeditionary force, Zhu Ba has not enjoyed real food, except for the day he fled from Zul Grab, and now he suddenly eats new and delicious food, and he is in a good mood.
After all the moonlight rats cleaned up the mess, they quickly left the cave through the doorway in the wall of the space, leaving the space to the two of them.
"Brother Efield, are you still happy here?"
Maseriton reveals his true intentions, he wants to keep Zhu Ba by his side and form a powerful alliance.
"It's a good place, but I have something important to do. Zhu Ba immediately understood Mathriton's thoughts, and he politely rejected Mathriton's overtures, but Mathriton immediately asked curiously.
"What matters so much?"
"I want to get out of this half-plane. There is no need to hide this, Zhu Ba told Maseriton, and Maseriton suddenly realized.
"Leave this half-plane, it turns out that the Efield brothers are not creatures of this plane!"
However, after learning Zhu Ba's true identity, Maseriton thought for a moment and slowly told Zhu Ba a secret that was only spread among the lords.
"You may not know that there is no external portal in this half-plane!"
"What? this can't be, right?" Zhu Ba was shocked, he searched all the information in his mind, but he didn't find any words related to it, Zhu Ba seemed to see Shavina's sunny smile, and her pretty figure gradually disappeared in his mind.
"Am I going to be trapped here for the rest of my life and never see Savina again?"
Looking at Zhu Bacong's shocked and then slowly depressed expression as time passed, Maseriton couldn't bear it, and opened his mouth a few times but retracted it, but in the end he couldn't help but open his mouth again.
"All half-planes have portals, and they must be in the middle of the half-plane, that's the rule of the plane, am I right?"
Zhu Ba nodded with a smile, but Matheriton continued to explain, revealing a secret that Zhu Ba had never heard of, which made Zhu Ba's eyes shine again.
"Actually, not all half-planes have portals, only those half-planes that already have the heart of the plane will have portals. β
"And this half-plane, unlike other half-planes, has its plane heart divided into many parts. β
Using the claws of her forelimbs to carve a rough map on the flat cavern floor, Mathriton used her claws to divide it into many pieces, inscribed the name of the Hellfire Peninsula on one of them, and then introduced it to Juba.
"This half-plane, there are a total of nine lands, and each land has a part of the plane's heart. β
"So all I have to do is collect all the Dimensional Hearts and put them together, and the portal will appear?"
Zhu Ba slammed into Mathriton and asked excitedly.
"So do you know where the nearest piece of Dimensional Heart is?"
Mathriton climbed up, revealing the dark green scales on his chest, three thin hair-thin scars that could not necessarily be found on it if you looked closely, which were the marks left by Zhu Ba's sharp claws.
"Your silver claws and fangs, I've felt extraordinary since they touched my scales. β
"But why can't you cut through my scales?"
He stood up proudly, flicked his tail, and showed Zhu Ba his strong body.
"Because I'm the heart of the plane of this Hellfire Peninsula. β
