"That couldn't be better." Gao Chen clasped his fists in gratitude.

"We're dealing with a dragon that only exists in ancient texts. If there's a time limit, it would be too difficult for my team members."

Logan's mouth twitched.

After so long, how could she not see that this seemingly upright and noble Chinese policeman had told the truth to the outside world?

But she doesn't mind these.

In the end the result is the same.

Pirit turned his head with great effort and smiled.

"So you're looking for me? I've already told you everything I know about the abilities and weaknesses of the beasts in the lake."

"Come over here again, do you think I'll keep the truth from you over my own life?"

Who knew that Gao Chen actually nodded.

"If we want to move forward, the Jiao is our common enemy. I certainly believe the clues you provided, but I do have my doubts about you concealing the truth."

Pirit's face turned ugly in an instant.

"What do you mean?"

"According to what you said, you have already found the exit at the bottom of the lake."

"When the dragon attacked you, why did you choose to turn back instead of continuing to run forward? Could it be that the exit door cannot be opened?"

Pirit's eyes flickered, and then he spoke calmly.

"The exit was underwater, so it would naturally take some effort to open it, but we didn't have the time at the time."

"No." Gao Chen shook his head and corrected, "It's because conditions are required to open it."

"As for what this condition is, as the only person who has come into contact with it, you must know."

Gao Chen looked down from above, his eyes showing his determination to get to the end.

Logan's head turned back and forth between the two men, and suddenly glared at Pirit.

"You blue-eyed Eastern Slav, you're trying to cheat me out of my potion by only showing me the location of the gate but not the method to open it?!!"

"Believe it or not, I can kill you at any time!"

Pirit was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

"It's true that I found the exit, and it's true that the gate takes time to open. But how can you be sure that special conditions are required to open the gate?"

"First, our previous speculation was correct. The person behind the scenes is indeed testing our strength. It's entirely possible that they created a door that requires special conditions to open."

"Secondly, after you found the exit, did you do something to anger the dragon? For example, did you intend to open the door?"

Gao Chen spoke word by word.

"If I'm not mistaken, the conditions or key to open the door are on the dragon at the bottom of the lake!"

"Since you've chosen to cooperate, you shouldn't hide anything, don't you think, Mr. Pirit?"

Pirit was speechless.

It seems that playing dumb and lying can no longer hide the truth...

Originally, if he could delay the process until the door was opened, or even until Gao Chen brought back the things that the dragon had taken away from him, he would have the initiative.

Unfortunately, Gao Chen discovered it too early, leaving him no room to maneuver.

Seeing that Logan was taking out the potion again, the pressure around Gao Chen became heavier and heavier.

Pirit gave in.

"There is indeed a key."

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to gamble on whether he would reveal more information that he shouldn't say during the interrogation.

If he cooperates honestly, he also has the right to choose how to organize his language.

There is indeed something strange about the gate ahead. Like the iron chain behind the first bronze stone gate, it is an extraordinary prop.

There must be enough energy to drive it to start running, and it cannot be broken by violence.

The specific principle is unknown, but the object that can provide energy is tied to the claws of the dragon at the bottom of the lake.

He was sure of that.

"The key to the gate... Now the interests are equal." Gao Chen muttered to himself.

Only by having the authority to open the door can you live up to your teammates who are fighting the dragon on the front line.

"I say, are you still cooperating?" Logan was eager to make a move.

She couldn't touch the dragon's claws, but she could provide magic potion to help Gao Chen and the others win.

In that case, does she also have a share of the key to open the door?

Gao Chen stood up without hesitation.

"Pirito won't hold out for much longer. I'll go find a way to lure that dragon out first."

Looking at Gao Chen who disappeared in a flash, Luo Gan gritted his teeth.

She knew that the other party's strength had reached the point where he could deal with the dragon without any external help.

But having strength and not wanting to reveal one's true strength do not conflict with each other.

Why not accept her advances?

She really doesn't get any advantage at all!

The wizard is so angry!

…

The lake water was surging, blowing Gao Chen's hair into a mess and his clothes fluttering.

Xu Xiaolin and Ning Tao came running from a distance.

"Captain!" Xu Xiaolin paused to catch her breath. "We've taken care of everything. Dealing with the dragon at the bottom of the lake is a thankless task. Those people back there really don't want to come over."

"I've buried the eye of the formation at the base of a tree three feet away. As long as they don't use their full strength, any sneak attacks or backstabbing will be stopped by the formation!"

"However, we only have three of these quick-made temporary formations, plus the one we used in Lingxi City..."

Ning Tao sighed.

"We work so hard, and yet we still have to worry about someone stabbing us in the back. It's such a tough life."

Although he was using the props from the bureau, Ning Tao still felt his heart bleeding.

No one in their team knows how to set up a formation.

These quick-made props will become less and less as you use them.

Gao Chen: "It's okay, this journey won't take long."

"Concentrate and prepare."

"Yes!" they said in unison.

Ning Tao stared intently ahead, filtering out all distracting thoughts from his mind.

Xu Xiaolin quickly stepped aside.

With her level of cultivation, she is not suitable for frontal combat.

Just like before, Gao Chen just approached the lake, and the huge snake's tail created a waterfall of water.

Gao Chen quickly turned over to avoid it, and Ning Tao jumped up from behind, with lightning flashing in his hands, and rushed straight towards the body of the dragon.

The attack failed and the snake's tail slid to the bottom of the lake like a loach.

Lightning fell.

In an instant, ripples appeared on the lake, and violent lightning struck the water surface, causing turbulent waves.

The next second, the snake's tail broke out of the water.

The sword energy in Gao Chen's hand soared into the sky, and the sharp sword energy cut through the air like a sharp blade. When it landed on the ground, the dragon was no longer there.

Both attacks missed.

Gao Chen frowned.

It seems that they were making preparations on the shore, and the dragon as the target was not unaware of it, and its attack became much more cautious.

They are willing to spend all their energy to dodge any attack that cannot break their defense, which is completely different from ordinary spirit beasts.

A war of attrition is not easy to fight...

"Captain, retreat!" Xu Xiaolin's shout came from a distance.

Gao Chen moved his body according to his heart, grabbing the flying pieces thrown by Xu Xiaolin and barely dodging a claw the size of a person.

What a fast speed!

Gao Chen was secretly shocked.

As the dragon surfaced, he turned over with his sword and rushed towards the dragon's body.

clang!

The Dragon Vein Sword hit the body of the dragon, and the scales made a metallic collision sound, and electric sparks flashed as it moved.

"What!" Gao Chen widened his eyes.

Even extraordinary props can't break its defense?

How can we fight this?!
