Before the two or three dozen ck–robed elders could approach the cliffside pce, a cacophony
of odd caws echoed through the air. Following this, a swarm of dark figures darted out from the
pce’s glistening tiles.
They were enormous ck bats, each the size of a grown man. Their wingspan stretched to a
whopping 10 feet.
These colossal creatures, with heads as grotesque as rats and eyes shining in an eerie green light,
bared their fangs, looking: dreadfully menacing.
Upon their exit from the pce, these giant batsunched themselves at the ck–robed figures.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
In a sh, every one of the elders produced gleaming, flexible swords from their sleeves.
In the void above the sheer cliff, an intense battle broke out between the elders and the swarm of
bats.
Although these bats weren’t human, their ferocity was unmatched. They went toe to toe with the two
or three dozen ck- robed elders, not giving an inch.
The bars‘ shrill cries echoed relentlessly.
Their sharp teeth, deadly ws on their feet, and vast wings were their primary weapons in this
aerialbat. N?velDrama.Org ? content.
Facing the onught of these bats, the ck–robed elders didn’t dare to be careless. They were
fully engaged, fighting with all their might.
As the intense battle raged on, a steely glint shed in the eyes of the young man in white at the
base of the canyon.
Soon after, wisps of purple aura began to surround him
In the blink of an eye, the man in white dashed toward the cliffside pce, as swift as a bolt of
lightning
His speed was blinding, and in no time, he stood before the majestic crimson gates of the pce.
After gathering a ball of purple energy in his hands, he hurled it at the gates.
Where the purple energy met the gate, a brilliant glow and a wave of energy erupted.
It was clear as day that the pce gate was enchanted with a protective barrier.
The purple energy from the man in white shed with the luminous energy of the gate. The two
forces held each other in a tense standoff.
One second, two seconds…
One minute,
Then… “Bang
two minutes…
With a loud crack, the enchantment on the crimson gates of the pce was shattered.
Subsequently, the radiant glow and the energy waves emanating from the gates faded away.
The young man in white dissipated the purple mist from his hands, pushed open the crimson gates,
and stepped into the pce.

Soon after, several figures descended into the canyon.
It was Gilmore, Spencer, and the rest.
Observing the intensebat between the two or three dozen ck–robed presbyters and the
gigantic bats, Gilmore told Spencer and the others, “Now that they’re distracted battling the bats, it’s
our perfect chance to enter the pce”
Spencer and his team nodded in agreement with him.
In the next moment, like lightning striking, Gilmore, Spencer, and their group soared up to the
pce, arriving at the crimson gates
Since the enchantment had already been disabled by the young man in white, they entered without
any hindrance.
Inside the pce, they first entered a grand hall that shimmered opulently. The ceiling of the hall
was adorned with countless glowing pearls, akin to a starry night, illuminating the hall as bright as
day
Suspended above the hall was a colossal white–scaled dragon, hundreds of feet in length.
The dragon had its eyes closed and was motionless. It seemed to have fallen asleep.
Around the slumbering giant dragon, a faint white mist lingered.
Though the white giant dragon was in a deep sleep, its colossal presence and imposing aura left
Gilmore, Spencer, and the entire group in sheer astonishment.
Gilmore, Spencer, Lilian, and the others couldn’t fathom seeing a giant dragon in this pce.
Dragons were mythical creatures, existing only in myths.
Yet, right before their eyes was this divine dragon.
The sight was simply breathtaking.
Spencer, Tillman, and the others now understood why Gilmore had mentioned a king–level creature
residing in the canyon.
This was no mere creature.
It was a mythical creature–a giant dragon!
Recalling the inscription “Dragon Hall” on the entrance of the pce, it all made sense now.
There truly was a dragon within.
However, after getting over their initial shock, Spencer, Tillman, and the rest silently expressed
their relief.
They were fortunate that the giant dragon was asleep. If it were awake and had discovered their
intrusion, it might have torn them to shreds.
Yet, they soon realized that the young man in white, who had entered the pce before them, was
nowhere to be seen.
With only walls surrounding them, where could he have gone?
Spencer, Tillman, Hiljan, and the rest turned their g
gaze to Gilmore.
They didn’t dare speak aloud due to the dragon hovering above them.
However, their looks clearly sought an answer from Gilmore about the young man’s whereabouts.

The grand hall appeared to have no other exits or passages
“Could the young man in white have vanished into thin air?” they thought.
Gilmore was equally puzzled. From what they could observe in this hall, there seemed no possible
ce the young man in white could have gone
So, Gilmore had no choice but to use his God’s Eye.
As his pupils contracted, he activated it.
Soon, he spotted something unusual.
At the easter corner of the hall, his divine eye detected fluctuating energy.
Without his God’s Eye, it would have been impossible for anyone to notice this strange energy with
the naked eye.
Gilmore realized it was a small matrix spell sealing an entrance leading somewhere within the
pce.
In fact, before entering the pce, he had noted that it was 1,500 feet long and 300 feet wide.
However, the current hall they were in was no more than 60 feet wide and 150 feet long.
That meant the hall they were in only upied a tiny portion of the entire pce.
And the entrance at the eastern corner, sealed by the small matrix spell, led to other parts of the
pce.
Gilmore signaled Spencer and the others with a hand gesture, motioning for them to follow him.
Spencer and the others immediately followed him and tiptoed to the east corner of the wall.
Upon arriving there, Gilmore channeled his anima with his hands onto the wall.
In an instant, the wall’s energy rippled like water.
Then, the energy parted, revealing an entrance a bit more than three feet wide.
Following Gilmore’s cue. Spencer and the others entered one by one.
Gilmore was thest to go in.
After they entered, the energy on the wall sealed back up, making it look like a in wall once
more.
Gilmore and the group found themselves in a long corridor stretching over 300 feet.
“Mr. Reed, how did you discover this passageway entrance?” With the divine dragon of the main
hall now behind them, Spencer felt more at ease and posed the question.
Gilmore exined, “Back in Sunsbury, I acquired a martial art manual on matrix spells–Having
practiced some of it, I was able to discern this sealed entrance.”
Spencer, in realization, expressed his admiration. “Mr. Reed, your talents truly know no bounds.”
With a hint of yfulness, Gilmore replied. “No need to butter me up. Our main focus now should be
to find what treasures lie within this pce
A light bulb seemed to go off in Spencer’s head, and then he asked, “Do you think that man in white
entered this pce seeking its treasitres?”

Core nodded Of cose, He rided his life breaking into the pce, obviously driven by the allure of its
treasures”
on before entering this canyon, Gilmore already knew about the treasures in the Dragon Hall
through his God’s Eye
He didn’t mention it
Crowing increasingly impatient, Spencer urged. Then Mr Reed, we should hurry and find these
treasures before the man in white gets his hands on them”
Card him. He won’t get them. Now that we’re here, no one but os cany im to those treasures”
Then, leading the way, he guided Spencer and the others along the expansive corridor
The 200–foot hallwort was lined with a dozen passageway entrantes on both sides
Yes. (dimore didn’t immediatch choou one to enter
ad, they stopped at the fifth entrance on the len, where he finally led the group in
After walking several feet inside, they were confronted by a masive stone door.
Carved upeh it was a majestic dragon head, so lifelike it seemed as though it could spring to life
and roar at any moment.
this intricately carved door, Gilmore cautioned Spencer and the others. “Step back. This dragon
head holds an enchanted power
to unlock it so we can proceed”
Spencer and the others immediately took a few steps back.
Gmore slowly raised his hand
White anima, as dazzling as the sun and the moonbined, gathered in his palm
Without hesitation, he pressed this luminous hand onto the dragon carving on the stone door.
Ahhand made contact, the dragon’s carved image began to emit a blinding purple glow.
The anima in Gilmore’s palm shattered the enchanted power guarding the door.
The purple glow from the dragon head faded away almost instantly.
Gilmore withdrew his anima and gently pushed the stone door open stepping inside.
Spencer and the rest of the group closely followed him into a massive stone chamber.
As they entered, their eyes were thet with a radiant burst of colorful light, so dazzling it was hard to
look directly at it
Within this vast chamber,rge enough to hold a hundred people there floated an enormous white
egg

There’s what shell was immately patterned with golden lines, giving off an aura of profound
