Chapter 458 Apple Picking Plan
As soon as Zhang Yuzhi's voice came out, the black dragon seemed to be fully awake all of a sudden. It raised its head and pricked up its ears, staring straight in the direction of the waterfall.
Zhou Wen knew that they couldn't see the giant dragon and the golden apple tree in the distance, so he quickly made a gesture to them to keep quiet, then he landed himself and pulled them into the cave at the source of the waterfall.
Boom!
The three people had just entered the cave when they saw the huge black dragon flying across the sky, like a black lightning, and landed beside the pool. Its pair of dragon eyes looked around, as if looking for something.
It circled around the pond several times, and after making sure that nothing was found, it slowly headed towards the apple tree.
The three people who had been holding their breath in the waterfall cave finally dared to breathe.
"Strange, I've been to this island many times, and there were only some water elemental elves. How come there is suddenly a giant dragon?" An Sheng frowned and said.
"There's more to it than that." Zhou Wen repeated his findings and speculations.
Zhang Yuzhi's eyes lit up as he heard this. "So, we're not on the original island anymore. When we passed through the passage beneath the pool, we entered another dimension. This is an undiscovered dimension, home to a giant dragon and a golden apple? Is that really the golden apple from fairy tales?"
"How would I know that?" Zhou Wen shook his head.
An Sheng said, "Every mythical creature is hard to deal with. Even the weaker ones in myths and legends are not something we can deal with right now. Let's forget about the golden apple. Let's swim back through the waterfall passage first. If we can make it back, that would be the best. If not, we can go down into the pool and give it another try. Maybe if we get sucked in again, we can leave here."
Zhou Wen agreed, as he didn't want to take any risks. Although Zhang Yuzhi was very interested in the golden apple in the fairy tale legend, he had no choice but to leave with the two of them.
A terrible thing happened. There was no way back at the end of the waterfall, and after they fell into the pool, the strange suction force no longer appeared at the bottom of the pool.
After emerging from the pool, the three returned to the waterfall cave. Zhang Yuzhi thought for a moment and said, "I remember hearing from my elders that once you enter some other-dimensional realms, you can't leave unless you obtain a special item from that realm, and you will die there."
"It seems that this other-dimensional realm should be the death realm you mentioned. Once you enter it, either you die or the dimensional creature dies. There is no third way." An Sheng said.
Zhang Yuzhi thought for a moment and said, "If we leave this island, will we be able to escape this dimension?"
"I've seen it from the air before. I could see islands in the distance, but here there's nothing. It's just the endless sea." Zhou Wen said.
"So we're really trapped here. This island isn't that big. I guess that black dragon or that golden apple are special items within this dimension. If we kill the dragon or get the golden apple, we might be able to leave here." Zhang Yuzhi said excitedly, "If we kill the dragon, will we become the first dragon slayers in human history?"
"If you're not afraid of turning into dragon poop, you can give it a try." Zhou Wen was more inclined to find a way to get the golden apple.
The chance of death when fighting mythical creatures is too high, but if you go to pick apples, you don’t necessarily need to fight the dragon. They all have many companion pets. Using the companion pets to lure away the black dragon, and then go to pick the golden apples, it should be much safer.
An Sheng also agreed with Zhou Wen's idea: "Yuzhi, you stay here. Zhou Wen and I will go and try to see if we can lure the dragon away and pick the golden apple."
"Why do you let me stay?" Zhang Yuzhi asked puzzledly.
"Because we two are going to steal apples. If we two can't do it, then it's your turn as the dragon slayer." An Sheng said.
"That's right. I can't do anything sneaky." Zhang Yuzhi nodded.
An Sheng asked Zhou Wen about the location and details of the golden apple tree, and then he and Zhou Wen quietly sneaked out of the waterfall cave.
"I have a skill that can help me conceal my breath. If I get closer, I shouldn't be discovered by the dragon. Once I get close, I'll summon my companion pet to see how powerful the dragon is." An Sheng said to Zhou Wen as he sneaked out.
Zhou Wen saw that he was just like a snake, moving silently in the grass. If he hadn't seen him with his own eyes, he would have hardly felt his presence. He couldn't help but admire An Sheng for being a veteran, with more complete abilities than him.
Zhou Wen did not have similar Qi skills and could not guarantee that he would not be discovered by the dragon, so he did not get any closer. He found a relatively high position nearby and watched the golden apple tree and the black dragon from afar.
Before long, An Sheng was less than a kilometer away from the golden apple tree. He was close to the ground, and the armor on his body changed color automatically, almost blending into the grass.
Then Zhou Wen saw him summon a companion pet that looked like a leopard, running towards the golden apple tree while roaring.
The black dragon had not fallen asleep to begin with, and it immediately stood up. Seeing the leopard-like companion pet, it flapped its wings violently, and black lightning flashed across the sky.
The leopard was no match at all. Just as it spewed out a ball of fire from its mouth, the black dragon swallowed the fire and the leopard together.
"What a fast speed!" Zhou Wen was secretly shocked. The speed of this giant dragon was almost comparable to the mythical creature in the temple that looked like neither a wolf nor a tiger.
Although it was still a little behind, it was no longer a speed that these epic humans could contend with.
That leopard was also an epic creature. Facing the Black Dragon, it had no room to resist.
An Sheng lay motionless on the grass. After the giant dragon swallowed the leopard companion pet, it roared violently a few times and shuttled back and forth on the island like lightning, as if looking for other invaders.
Zhou Wen also lay in the grass, not daring to move. Several times, the black dragon almost flew past him, making his heart jump to his throat. This was not a game. Once discovered by the black dragon, he would most likely die.
They waited until the black dragon calmed down and returned to the golden apple tree. After a while, it seemed a little tired and lay down under the tree to rest. An Sheng then quietly retreated and winked at Zhou Wen. The two of them slowly retreated to the side of the waterfall.
Because the sound of the waterfall is very loud, it can cover up their voices. Even if they make a little noise here, it should not attract the dragon's attention too much.
"This island is too small. With the speed of the black dragon, no matter where we lead it, it will be able to return to the apple tree immediately. It seems that the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain may not work." An Sheng said this after returning to the cave.
