Without even seeing it with his own eyes, Leo knew what Star Gravity and their tactics were. Their army of millions of slaves would be the best first wave of attack, and they would also be the best cannon fodder to wear down the dragon's stamina and mana.
While the slave army and the dragon are locked in combat, the two Stigmata Wizard will use Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array to unleash the dragon's most powerful and fierce attack.
Whether they could succeed or not, Leo didn't know. He only knew that at this moment, in the dragon's lair, there was no longer the dragon's protection!
Deathwing's lair was like a house with its door open, waiting for thieves to break in.
Leo chuckled mischievously, his steps quickening. One step covered twenty kilometers, five steps covered one hundred kilometers, and fifty steps covered one thousand kilometers.
When Leo took seventy steps, he had already arrived outside the dragon's lair.
This is the only high mountain in the plane, over three thousand meters high, already shrouded in clouds and mist.
The mountaintop should be frigid, but the temperature here is unusually high, even higher than the surface temperature. Stepping on the mountain, you can feel waves of heat rising from your feet. This is because Deathwing, a pureblood dragon, is a black dragon and the representative of the fire element in the dragon family. Wherever he is, volcanic lava often forms.
The dark mountain pass exuded a strong dragon's aura, and everywhere outside the cave entrance were huge bones of wild beasts, which must have been left over after the dragon had eaten them.
With a flick of his Godslaying Wizard Robe, a thousand small black balls appeared on the ground. Leo pointed at the bones scattered everywhere and said viciously, "Move! Move everything you see!"
The area of Shadow Space was large enough that these bones not only possessed the energy aura that had not yet dissipated, but also a certain dragon aura.
It's obvious that these skeletons belong to dragons, and their bones contain a significant amount of dragon Bloodline, making them invaluable. If all the bones at the cave entrance could be melted down, at least two liters of dragon Bloodline could be obtained. Naturally, such a valuable item couldn't be passed up.
The thousand small black hordes, following Leo's orders, swarmed like locusts, leaving nothing but bone fragments in their wake. All the bones vanished and were transported to the Shadow Space.
Leo looked at the hundred-meter-wide cave in front of him and stepped inside. The rich dragon breath made Leo somewhat intoxicated. This was not dragon breath at all; it was the aura of treasures.
No one knows how long Deathwing has lived here; even the stones in the cave are imbued with the dragon's aura.
Even a piece that could be casually broken off from the mountainside would make Leo's eyes light up.
These stones, imbued with the aura of dragons for countless years, are no ordinary stones; in the Wizard World, they could fetch three times the price of an energy crystal of the same weight.
This isn't just stone anymore, it's money!
Without further ado, the Godslaying Wizard Robe trembled once more, and another thousand small black balls were released. One word—Move!!
Everything that needed to be moved was moved, not even a grain of sand was spared. Rather than leaving these treasures here to gather dust, it was better to let them shine and generate heat.
Leo strode forward into the cave, and after walking about 300 meters, he saw the hollowed-out mountainside.
The hollowed-out mountain was filled with extremely dense dragon breath, a large number of shimmering energy crystals and energy metals, and some other things that Leo did not recognize.
Besides being incredibly powerful, lewd, and unable to control their lust, dragons also have another characteristic: a love for collecting treasure.
As expected, what the book says is true: where there are dragons, there is an opportunity to make money!!
He directly opened the Shadow Space, releasing Benji and an army of over three hundred male ant puppets. The Godslaying Wizard Robe fluttered, and finally, a thousand small black hordes appeared, joining the relocation army.
If we don't seize this precious opportunity to empty his pockets today, I'll change my mind about Leo's name from now on!
Seeing the abundance of treasures raining down in the Shadow Space, Leo's face broke into the most beautiful smile.
It's a pity that Yaoyao is sealed away, otherwise he would definitely like this scene.
Leo looked past the treasures scattered on the ground and towards the deepest part of the dragon's lair, where there was a black gate covered with mysterious patterns—the very gate to the next world that the two Stigmata Wizard had spoken of.
With light steps, I arrived before the black door. I carefully sensed its presence, but found no trace of any aura emanating from it; it seemed to be just an ordinary metal door.
But the moment Leo touched it, a voice rang in his mind.
"Ding-dong, Little Bookworm No. 007 is at your service."
"Honorable guest, do you wish to pass through this door to the second world?"
Leo looked back at the large group of people moving; not even a tenth of them had moved yet, so they couldn't leave now. "No, I'll go in later."
"No problem, just push the door open when you want to come in."
As the Little Bookworm finished speaking, his voice was about to disappear from Leo's mind. Seeing an opportunity for a private conversation, Leo immediately asked, "Can you answer a few questions for me?"
" Little Bookworm No. 007 is at your service, sure!"
A tiny, white worm fluttering in the air flashed through Leo's mind, as if it were anticipating Leo question.
"You said you're Little Bookworm, or even 007, does that mean there are other Little Bookworm out there?"
"Dear guest, you are very clever; you guessed correctly."
"So what kind of existence are you? Are you life, consciousness, or a concept?" Leo tentatively continued to probe.
The existence of the Little Bookworm was to Leo what honey was to a brown bear—a fatal attraction.
This kind of life form is something Leo has always dreamed of obtaining. If he could get even a little information from it, it would be of extraordinary help to Leo in the field of artificial intelligence.
"Dear guest, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'The more you know, the faster you die.' Your question is beyond your capabilities, and I can choose not to answer it."
The Little Bookworm's voice still carried a silvery laugh, but the refusal it conveyed made Leo's face freeze. The image of the Little Bookworm instantly sealing the mouths of hundreds of millions of lives was still fresh in his mind.
This person's existence was beyond his imagination; if he angered this person, he didn't know what kind of torment he would suffer!
"I have a lot of other world delicacies here, as well as some nice drinks. Would you like to try some?" Leo said, pointing to his Shadow Space.
Upon realizing that this would annoy the Little Bookworm, Leo immediately activated his flattery skills, just like he did with Yaoyao. With just a little bit of benefit, he could lure them into his lap.
"Sir, I've already seen your food; I have it all here."
Leo's hard-won smile froze again, not because of the Little Bookworm's rejection, but because he sensed something in the Little Bookworm's words: the Little Bookworm had already seen his food.
But these foods were clearly placed in the Shadow Space, so how did the Little Bookworm see them?
Unless he can pass through the Shadow Space!!
Is it that he can see through his own Shadow World within the Hundred-Page World, or can he see through his own Shadow World anywhere?
Although this Little Bookworm used honorific titles all the time, Leo felt that he was more like a god who controlled the Hundred-Page World, possessing unimaginable absolute power here!
And he himself, or other wizards, or slaves, or the queen ant, were nothing more than toys for his amusement!
"Guest, I must remind you that the angry black dragon sensed your presence the moment you touched the door and is already on its way back."
"???"
"Don't doubt it. As the gatekeeper of the first layer of the world, Fanyaxis's soul is inextricably linked to this gate. Touching the gate is equivalent to touching his soul. He's very angry now that you've touched his soul like that."
The Little Bookworm's laughter continued, but to Leo, it sounded like he was being mocked.
Leo didn't dare to think too much and immediately ordered all the puppet male ants and Benji to carry the things back to the Shadow World.
Those three thousand Yaoyao little black groups were instantly recalled, and anything that hadn't been moved was abandoned.
Then Leo reached out and pushed the black door in front of him, wanting to go through it to the second world.
But when Leo pushed hard, the door didn't budge.
" Body Refinement Wizard, First Layer Hunter Bloodline, Activated!"
Leo transformed into a four-meter-tall Hunter and pushed hard against the door, but the result was the same; the door didn't budge.
With his current physical strength, he could easily topple not just a door, but even a small mountain. So, the reason he can't open this door isn't his problem, but the door's problem!
"What's going on? Why can't I open this door?"
Leo urgently asked the Little Bookworm in his mind, "He just said that if Leo want to leave, I can just push the door open and go, but the door won't open. How am I supposed to leave?"
"Hehe, guest, I seem to have forgotten to tell you something. Those three World Lord sacrificed their lives, but they only opened the first world of the Hundred-Page World. The second world cannot be opened without enough energy. If you want to go in, you can provide me with energy now, and I will open this door for you."
The Little Bookworm's laughter was still as melodious as a silver bell, but Leo's heart sank instantly. There was actually such a setting; it was clearly meant to trap them.
"*****"
Leo wanted to curse, but he could only keep it to himself. He had no choice but to bow his head under someone else's roof. He absolutely couldn't afford to mess with this Little Bookworm, so he had to swallow his anger.
The inability to access the second world was something Leo had never anticipated; it was the safest escape route he had planned for himself.
Since this road was impassable, Leo turned to run.
Pushing the door open just now took up a lot of time; if we don't run now, the dragon will fly back.
As a result, Leo rushed to the cave entrance but immediately retreated.
As Leo slowly retreated, a huge, ferocious head peered into the cave. Its enormous, apricot-yellow dragon eyes first spotted the half-disappeared treasure, then fixed intently on the fleeing Leo!
