The stone gate is about five meters high and three meters wide, and is engraved with cloud patterns and crane patterns, giving people a sense of antiquity and mystery.
On both sides of the stone gate there are two mythical Qilin beasts carved from black stone, one lying and the other sitting, both lifelike.
Xu Jianguo climbed a few steps and slowly walked to the Qilin stone sculpture. He reached out and touched it. It felt cold and the surface was very smooth. He didn't know what material the stone was made of.
Standing in front of the stone gate, he felt more and more that it was tall and heavy, and a sense of vicissitudes came over him. Xu Jianguo stretched out his hands and pushed hard, but the stone gate did not move at all.
"Is it because I don't have enough strength?" Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
Suddenly, he remembered that he still had a bottle of advanced gene enhancement potion that he had not used. After thinking about it, he took out a bottle of lavender potion from the space. He remembered that the previous intermediate gene enhancement potion was blue.
Without thinking too much, Xu Jianguo took a deep breath and drank the purple liquid in the bottle.
It tastes slightly sweet at first, and there is a warm feeling when the liquid enters the stomach.
Just as he was carefully feeling the potion, a sharp pain suddenly hit him, which was several times stronger than the pain he felt when he took the intermediate potion before.
Xu Jianguo gritted his teeth. The tearing pain made him clench his fists, the veins on his arms bulged, his muscles suddenly tensed, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
With a "bang", Xu Jianguo fell straight to the ground and gradually fell into coma.
It was unknown how long it took before Xu Jianguo woke up from his coma. The moment he opened his eyes, he jumped up from the ground.
Looking around, the two stone-carved Qilin mythical beasts were still standing on both sides, with the tall stone gate behind them.
Xu Jianguo clenched his fists tightly. The severe pain he had felt before had long since disappeared, replaced by a full sense of strength.
At this moment, a disgusting stench penetrated his nostrils, giving him a splitting headache. He immediately became alert and began to look around, but found nothing unusual.
After looking around in the open space, Xu Jianguo found that the stench was always lingering near him, which was so irritating that he could hardly open his eyes.
Just when he was about to reach out to rub his eyes, he suddenly found something wrong. For some reason, both of his hands turned black. Especially when his hands were close to his nose, a strong stench hit his nose. Xu Jianguo was dumbfounded. Could it be that the stench came from his body?
Xu Jianguo did not dare to delay. He quickly ran down the stone steps to the stream and quickly stripped himself naked. Then he found that his whole body was covered with a layer of black oily mud. The disgusting stench was emitted by this black substance. He was immediately frightened and jumped into the water.
Xu Jianguo found a bath towel from the supermarket and took a thorough bath in the freezing groundwater. When he came out of the water, an hour had passed.
Feeling refreshed all over, Xu Jianguo found some clean clothes to change into and threw his old clothes into the washing machine.
Stepping back onto the stone steps and returning to the stone gate, Xu Jianguo wanted to test his strength, so he put his hands on the stone gate and pushed it hard again.
As the strength of his hands continued to increase, Xu Jianguo's bones made a cracking sound, but unfortunately, the stone door remained motionless.
Xu Jianguo sat on the ground, gasping for breath, wondering how to open the stone door.
After a while, Xu Jianguo stood up and began to look around the stone door. He felt that since he couldn't push the stone door open with his current strength, it was very likely that the stone door was controlled by a mechanism.
Just now, he activated the Eye of Time and Space, wanting to see what was behind the stone door, but strangely, the Eye of Time and Space, which had always been effective before, could not see through the stone door in front of him this time.
Xu Jianguo walked slowly, his hands groping on the stone door from time to time. Suddenly, his right hand touched a square depression on the stone door. Just as he was thinking about what this depression was, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding, the system detected a slight fluctuation in the energy of the two world stones. The energy is dissipating and cannot be merged.]
