Chapter 1252 The Nature of the Cracked Space

In the small dark room, I sat opposite the high priest like a salted fish.

It’s not that I’ve lost my dream, but I really don’t like the feeling of powerlessness that comes with being hit repeatedly but not being able to fight back.

"Child, are you afraid?" the high priest asked.

I nodded and took a deep breath: "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" she asked again.

"I'm afraid of harming my family." He glanced at his left arm, and then curled his lips: "I'm also afraid of returning to the feeling of loneliness."

"So kid, what do you do when you encounter something you're afraid of?"

"Run, run like hell, away from the thing that scares me until I can no longer see it."

The suffocating and terrifying image of the nine-headed dragon instantly condensed in my mind. The scorching flames it spewed and the terrifying temperature that burned my whole body washed away my heart again and again in a violent manner.

Unconsciously, my breathing became faster.

"What if you can't run away?" The high priest's voice was like a magic voice, inducing my thinking and digging into my heart.

"Then fight, fight, and fight with your life!"

Suddenly, the raging fighting spirit ignited in my heart, and I seemed to have returned to the scene when I faced the tauren boss for the first time. Facing the huge body that was more than twice as tall as me, I felt the angry wetness spitting out of its nostrils. Angry, look directly into its crazy and violent red eyes.

That was the first time I felt the terror of a monster, and it was also the first time I was cornered by a monster.

At that time, I even leaned against the closed portal, longing for the gods to come and save me from the edge of despair.

However, the gods did not come until the monster's fist fell.

Looking at the ground that was cracked by the blow, despair and fear instantly penetrated my body. At the same time, it aroused the most primitive fighting spirit and desire in my heart.

I don’t remember much about what happened after that, I just know that I went crazy.

I was in a crazy state, holding a steel rod, pounced on the tauren boss, and started a fierce hand-to-hand combat with him.

I no longer remember how severely injured my body was in that battle. I only know that when I woke up, the first thing I saw was Mr. Taylor's expression that changed from serious to relaxed.

The first thing he said to me was: Your kid is finally alive.

Yes, although when faced with fear, my first thought is often to run away, but when I am forced into a desperate situation and there is no escape, I will be full of fighting spirit.

And, until now, I have fought countless inevitable battles and always won.

"It seems that you have understood your advantages."

The gentle voice of the high priest rang in my ears.

Opening my eyes, I smiled softly: "Yes, I understand."

"That's good," the high priest said with a smile, "Although I can't help you with controlling the runes, I can provide you with other help besides that."

"Can you tell me about the interstitial space?" I frowned and said, "I really want to know."

"Crack space. Yeah." The high priest nodded and said: "Actually, the crack space is an extra branch of the underground city, just like the countless twigs branched from the trunk of a tree. The difference is that the twigs need the nutrition of the trunk. Survive, while the interstitial space exists independently."

"What about the monsters inside? Are they also monsters from the dungeon?"

"Some are," the high priest said, "and some are not."

"I have seen many interstitial spaces and the monsters living in them through the eyes of light." The high priest said: "Among those monsters, some are very weak, some are very strong, and even some, even if It’s an existence that even the legendary hero you praise so much can’t defeat despite encountering it.”

"A monster that even the legendary heroes cannot defeat?" I couldn't help but ask, "Is it the kind of existence that is powerful enough to rival the legendary God of Creation?"

"Child" the high priest said with a smile: "The dungeon was created by the God of Creation. How can the monsters in it be stronger than the God of Creation?"

That's right, if you are more powerful than the God of Creation, how can you be trapped in a small space?

"Then can you see the monsters I encountered in the gap space before?" I asked.

"Of course." The high priest took out the Eye of Light again, and the room was dazzling in an instant. She gently placed her hand on the Eye of Light, closed her eyes and felt it, then opened her eyes again and said, "Have you ever encountered something like this?" They are a very powerful nine-headed dragon and a weak but strangely constructed puppet warrior."

"Yes, those two, especially the nine-headed dragon and the flames it sprayed, have become my nightmare!"

"Child," the high priest said, "The nine-headed dragon you said you encountered was an injured nine-headed dragon."

"I asked him why he had such a bad temper! It turned out to be that he was injured and was afraid of my last hit, so he wanted to kill me by breathing fire!"

"No, its anger does not come from its injury," the high priest said, "but from its failure."

"Failed? What do you mean?"

"It had a fight with the last human who fell into the gap space, but unfortunately, it lost."

This sentence was like a pebble thrown into my newly calm heart, instantly causing countless boils and boils.

"You mean, this nine-headed dragon was defeated before I went there?" I couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is so awesome that he could defeat it?"

"That's a genius similar to Taylor," the high priest said, "It's a pity that he's so powerful."

"What a pity? Could it be that he was also severely injured by the nine-headed dragon? Or is he already dead?"

The high priest was silent for a moment and said: "The nine-headed dragon is not enough to hurt him. Moreover, he is not dead, just..."

"Just what?" I asked urgently.

The high priest smiled and said nothing.

Another question that cannot be answered?

I'm on my knees, when will you stop showing off!

The high priest was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Although I can't tell you his condition, nor can I tell you his name, or even reveal any information about him, but I can tell you with certainty that he and you have a relationship. The relationship is only indirect, and you will meet one day in the future, in a situation that will surprise you."

Someone I'm related to?

I began to think about anyone who has a relationship with me, from male to female, from old to young, but after picking and choosing, there are only a few strong people who seem to be related to me and have the ability to defeat the nine-headed dragon. Several.

It seems that I need to visit them one by one in my free time.

"By the way, Lord High Priest." I suddenly thought of another thing: "You said before that some of the monsters in the gap space are from the dungeon, and some are not. Can I understand it this way? Among the many monsters in the dungeon , some are native-born, and some are captured from other places to make up their numbers?”
