Chapter 1305 - 1301
With the portal stabilized, the light dissipated, and Ginsengfruit finally had spare energy to look at Er Dan and the approaching Xuan Chu.
Perhaps it was the chain on Er Dan’s foot that was too eye-catching, so when Ginsengfruit turned his head, it was the first thing he saw.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Ginsengfruit’s eyes: "This... how did you get shackled with a chain?"
When Er Dan caused trouble before, Ginsengfruit had thought about putting a chain on Er Dan, but then thought that their identity in Moonlight City was fake to begin with.
Sometimes, Er Dan’s reckless behavior could actually help cover their tracks, and the compensations drew most people’s attention.
Once Ginsengfruit detached from the anchor point, the aura that didn’t belong to this world disappeared completely.
Er Dan’s killing intent towards Ginsengfruit naturally dissipated too, and his eyes returned to a brotherly affection.
He immediately responded to Ginsengfruit’s question: "Yeah yeah, this anklet is completely a waste!"
Don’t think that just because Er Dan recently hatched, his brain doesn’t work well; he thinks quickly!
Now, it was Xuan Chu’s turn to be speechless. He snorted coldly, full of disdain for the killing intent that Er Dan had emitted before.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of slipping up and letting Er Dan have the chance to stab Ginsengfruit, otherwise, Yun Ran would definitely double the trouble for him.
"Who’s in my way, it’s clear as day in their mind~"
Though Er Dan had a bit of a shameless streak, he was somewhat embarrassed at the moment. He couldn’t say he wasn’t doing it on purpose.
Who made it so that Ginsengfruit had the kind of aura he hated the most, but he still managed to suppress the urge to attack Ginsengfruit, doesn’t that prove he’s a good baby?
Ginsengfruit wasn’t stupid either. The reason he didn’t notice before was because most of his attention was on the anchor point.
But now, the fact that Xuan Chu had no choice but to use a chain on Er Dan was proof that there was something uncontrollable in Er Dan at that moment.
Moreover, that uncontrollable factor was dangerous even for someone like Xuan Chu.
With everything ruled out, the only explanation left was that the special energy system he had used was detected by Er Dan.
Furthermore, Er Dan himself contained a trace of the Heavenly Dao Origin.
Back when Xuan Chu was just a Guardian of Heavenly Dao Village, he had detected something off about him and the Host, and clung to them like a magnet...
Ginsengfruit’s face darkened immediately: "We’re good people, not only have we not done anything bad, but now we’re racking our brains to save countless people... This shackle, you totally deserve it!"
After saying that, Ginsengfruit had no desire to deal with Er Dan anymore. If he didn’t know that Er Dan’s reactions were just reflexes, he would have smacked him across the face.
"It’s getting late, I’m leaving first!"
Er Dan watched as Ginsengfruit’s figure, like a special effect, turned into a phantom, then dissipated in circles like ripples.
Its body moved faster than its mind, and even with the chain, over such a short distance, its speed wasn’t greatly restrained.
By the time Xuan Chu realized what was happening, it was too late, Er Dan had already dashed into the portal the moment it disappeared.
"You..."
The rest of the words caught in Xuan Chu’s throat.
He knew if it came down to speed, he really couldn’t stop Er Dan. If Er Dan had decided to attack Ginsengfruit, he wouldn’t have been able to stop it.
Even with the chain, it wouldn’t have stopped him.
Now, in a radius of a hundred miles, only Xuan Chu remained, looking at the vanished portal and the still-stable array.
In the end, accepting his fate, he began to examine the nearby array to prevent anyone from intruding or causing damage.
Perhaps Yun Ran and the others might return from this place later.
The portal that Ginsengfruit constructed went directly to its destination, completely different from when Yun Ran and the others were swept in by the copper mirror before.
This portal was completely protected from the chaotic Gang Wind, which was one of his privileges as a High-class World System.
"Ahhhhh... I’m stuck..."
At this moment, Ginsengfruit was organizing his words, ready to quickly recount to Yun Ran what had happened since her departure when he saw her.
But then he heard a familiar and sharp voice.
He turned his head and saw Er Dan sprawled out as if something had restrained him.
Ginsengfruit: ...
Now he realized what it meant by the wise overthinking and the fool having a sudden bright idea.
When he constructed the portal, it was built for his own standards alone.
Now, what was originally a passage meant for one had a new variable in it with Er Dan.
At this moment, Er Dan being stuck was the most direct proof.
Not to mention, Er Dan wasn’t something that could be easily overlooked. His body contained the Heavenly Dao Origin, and the transcendental Gu God.
When Er Dan hatched, he made the heavens and earth change color, wherever he went, he was the focus.
Not to mention that this portal, originally for one person only, even if he could build a new passage suitable for Er Dan, it would take at least two or three months.
"We’re doomed, you’ve really brought disaster upon us!"
Just as Ginsengfruit finished speaking, a crisp cracking sound reached his ears.
It was the sound of the portal breaking under strain.
The next second, Ginsengfruit and Er Dan both plummeted into the chaotic currents.
"Ahhhhh..."
Er Dan let out a ghostly wail at the sudden loss of gravity as they fell.
Ginsengfruit’s body, refined by Heavenly Thunder, was incredibly tough, even powerful magic artifacts could barely harm him.
But falling into the currents, the Gang Wind lashed his body like whips.
No blood was drawn, but it left plenty of marks and the pain was constant.
"Ugh!"
A muffled groan escaped Ginsengfruit’s lips.
Even he couldn’t withstand the attack of the Gang Wind and couldn’t imagine how badly Yun Ran would be injured if she fell here.
Yet Er Dan’s ghostly wails kept reaching his ears intermittently.
If he weren’t afraid Er Dan would die here, Ginsengfruit wouldn’t even think about saving him!
However, when Ginsengfruit finally managed to grab Er Dan’s foot, he was shocked to find that the Gang Wind that could hurt him swept over Er Dan like a breeze.
