Samuel felt that he could farm a wave of Dragon Scale equipment later, especially Dragon Scale bows and arrows, which archers like Shado and Thea next door should be able to use.
At least these could be considered demon-breaking arrows, right? In the future, when encountering ghosts or Evil Demons, they wouldn't be at a loss and just stare blankly!
No matter what, this was a divine artifact forged from genuine Divine Dragon scales. It would be a disservice to the system's nesting function if he didn't get them a few sets.
"I'll go talk to the Divine Dragon first."
Samuel put on the Dragon Scale bow and arrows, his body floated up, crossed over the Tuke villagers and their homes, and came to the sky above the nearby lake.
"Buzz!"
Mind Manipulation Ability activated, and a thought connection instantly linked to a creature deep at the bottom of the lake.
"There is an aura belonging to me in Your body, but You are not from here."
An ancient and sacred aura appeared in Samuel's mind. It didn't speak human language, but the thought connection could translate its meaning into language that he could understand.
Simply put, the thought connection ability is more like a translator, capable of translating the 'thoughts' of different languages and different creatures into language or meaning that humans can understand.
"My name is Samuel, the Void Lord at the end of the timeline."
"I have come to destroy the Soul-Devouring Monster and save the Tuke villagers. Are You willing to help me?"
Similarly, Samuel's meaning was also translated into content that the Divine Dragon could understand.
"What do You want?" the Divine Dragon asked.
"You!"
"You stay here to protect Tuke and the outside World. When I eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster, You won't need to stay here anymore."
"Follow me and see the outside World. Are You willing?"
The Phoenix, Qilin, and Nine-Tailed Fox before, although they were also rare mythical beasts, there were quite a few of them in Tuke.
But the Divine Dragon, there was only one!
Moreover, although the other mythical beasts each had their own mysteries, they were far from the Divine Dragon, which could both control Water and bestow extraordinary Dragon Force upon others.
Not to mention, the Dragon Scale it shed could also be made into divine artifacts.
More importantly, the Divine Dragon was large enough and cool enough.
Subduing a Divine Dragon and using it as a mount would definitely be more impressive than using a Phoenix or a Qilin as a mount, and it would also have more style.
This was a Divine Dragon that could ascend to the heavens and descend into the sea, nothing was impossible!
"I am willing!" the Divine Dragon responded.
Samuel's heart rejoiced, and the corners of his mouth lifted high.
Immediately after, he heard a loud boom, the lake water surged, and a huge Eastern Divine Dragon emerged from the lake.
Its long body emerged from the surface of the lake, and its huge head roared towards Samuel. When its body completely left the surface of the lake, the Tuke villagers were stunned.
Although it was not the first time they had seen the Divine Dragon, the scene of the Divine Dragon emerging from the sea still made them feel shocked and spectacular.
Let alone them, at this moment, even the prepared Samuel was shocked.
What he saw in the movie and what he saw with his own eyes were completely different. The shock made any descriptive language seem incredibly pale.
Samuel suddenly relaxed his strength and fell straight down.
At the same time, the Divine Dragon moved.
"Bang."
Samuel landed on the Divine Dragon's head. Even one of its whiskers was longer than Samuel.
The dragon soared through the four seas, and roamed the nine heavens.
The Divine Dragon carried Samuel through a turbulent ride before taking him to the Darkness Gate on the distant cliff.
This was a giant circular gate almost as tall as the mountain. From afar, it looked like a huge black Sun.
Only when closer did he realize that this Darkness Gate was actually composed of countless small doors. These small doors fit together seamlessly. At first glance, this composition method was very similar to the scales on the Divine Dragon's body, covering it piece by piece.
The Divine Dragon rested its head on the cliff platform in front of the Darkness Gate. Samuel leaped down, turned around, and patted the Divine Dragon.
"Wait for me."
The Divine Dragon let out a cry and circled above the cliff where the Darkness Gate was located, seemingly waiting for Samuel to come out.
The thought connection was still there, one person and one dragon, they could be considered to have a spiritual connection.
Coming before the Darkness Gate, Samuel adjusted his body density and stepped in.
"Hmm?"
Lifting his foot, Samuel found that he was blocked.
Normally, when Samuel used this ability, he would enter a state of intangibility like Vision or Martian Manhunter.
In this state, his body was essentially non-existent, attacks couldn't hit him, and no buildings or objects could block him.
But now, he was blocked by a very special energy on the Darkness Gate.
"A seal...? That's right, because the Soul-Devouring Monster and its Darkness Residents also have similar abilities. If even this couldn't be defended against, what kind of seal would it be?"
An unfavorable start wasn't enough to discourage Samuel. He still had several ways to enter the interior without breaking the seal.
Simply put, he could directly Dimension Teleport in.
More complexly, he could use the Shockwave ability to sense the situation inside the seal, and then use Shockwave Teleportation to enter.
Technically, he could use Speed Force to vibrate at high speed and pass through.
In short, one failure was nothing. Samuel only thought for a moment before using Dimension Teleportation to bypass the seal and enter the interior of the Darkness Gate.
The darkness was deep and eerie, cold and oppressive. As soon as Samuel passed through, he felt like a sheep that had fallen into a pack of wolves, instantly being targeted by countless strange eyes.
Darkness Residents!
These Darkness Residents looked like oversized bats, appearing extremely hideous and ugly.
Moreover, their numbers were incredibly vast.
They were densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see, truly uncountable.
"Buzz!"
Seeing the dense mass of Darkness Residents pouncing towards him, terrifyingly eager to suck out his soul, Samuel calmly used the Still Force.
In an instant, the green Still Force field expanded, and a faint light instantly illuminated the originally dim cave.
The bat-like Darkness Residents were directly fixed within the force field, unable to move.
Only Dragon Scale weapons can harm them?
Perhaps?
But it's not that absolute!
Ordinary methods not working only indicates that the level of power or energy is too low. If it were means of the level of Chaos Magic or God Power, how could it not harm them?
Don't look at the Still Force's performance as just absorbing kinetic energy and making everything within the force field still; its own level is not low.
This is a type of Crisis Energy, considered to be one of the Universe Forces that created the Multiverse, just like the Speed Force.
Darkness Residents are just subordinates of the Soul-Devouring Monster. If they could even ignore the power that can create and construct the Multiverse, then this World would be doomed sooner or later.
"So ugly..." Samuel examined the Darkness Residents with interest, then suddenly took out his phone and took a few selfies with them as the background.
Putting away his phone, he opened the system and checked the battle drop rewards.
Yes.
Although they were not human, the moment they were fixed by the Still Force field, they still dropped rewards.
