“Huff, huff, huff…”
The moment Gray returned to his body, he realized that he was still in the same position as before he was pulled into the space of consciousness.
He hurriedly dodged, wanting to move his body to the side to avoid being controlled by that strange crystal again.
What surprised Gray was that his actions actually failed. Although he had returned to his body, he was unable to move his four limbs.
This was not because the Void Undead energy was still affecting him, but because Gray found that his body was now extremely weak, and he had to exert all his strength to even move slightly.
This feeling was like having a heavy cold while doing an Ironman Triathlon on Mount Everest.
How could he be so tired?
After reacting, Gray began to pant intensely. The humid air brought with it the smell of decay from the jungle and it poured into his lungs, making Gray feel a little better.
As he breathed heavily, Gray realized that it was obviously impossible to continue like this. Whether it was the passing beasts or the exhaustion of his physical strength, it might end his life.
Realizing the danger, Gray quickly opened his backpack and took out an unripe vitality fruit that he had found some time ago. He put it into his mouth with difficulty.
As the soft skin of the fruit was bitten off, the sweet juice spread in Gray’s mouth. Gray swallowed the juice of the vitality fruit with great effort. He did not care about enjoying the wonderful taste.
Finally, after the vitality fruit was swallowed clean, Gray finally felt that his body gradually recovered some strength.
He freed himself from the uncomfortable position and turned his body to sit on the ground.
It was obvious that this experience had taken an unexpected toll on him, and be it mentally or physically, it was a huge test.
The invasion of the Void Undead, the terrifying impression, and the final message.
If it wasn’t for Gray’s strong will, he might have already gone insane.
The same was true for his physical body. An unripe vitality fruit had no immediate effect on him currently.
This was the first time Gray had seen such a situation. Although there were no wounds, it was clear that fatigue had caused damage to his body that could be recovered normally.
After feeling that the vitality fruit’s effect was completely exhausted, Gray took out another unripe vitality fruit. This time, he held it in his mouth and slowly sucked it.
At this time, the concern of the dragon egg was transmitted in time. It was obvious that it was also very worried about Gray’s situation.
This time, the crisis was extremely dangerous. It could be said that without the help of the dragon egg, Gray would most likely have died.
Therefore, no matter how tired Gray was, he still tried his best to touch the eggshell of the dragon egg with his hand. He said,
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you this time, I might have died here.”
Immediately, a joyful emotion came from the dragon egg. Clearly, being thanked by Gray made it very excited.
While feeling the pure joy of the dragon egg, Gray felt that his body was recovering.
Only then did Gray have the spare energy to start organizing the information and dealing with the aftermath.
The first was the culprit that caused all of this. The black crystal, or the black substance within the crystal, to be exact, that was most likely left behind by the Void Undead.
When Gray escaped from the state of being corroded, he did not immediately leave the spot where he was when the accident happened due to his fatigue. However, he was not affected by the black crystal again.
Clearly, the black crystal had not been completely unharmed after Gray had escaped from its control.
That thing was too dangerous. He could not just leave it there.
This time, Gray was lucky. With the help of the arrow’s mana and the dragon egg, he had been able to avoid danger.
However, if this thing continued to be exposed in this world, it might accidentally be discovered by some wild beast and cause the Void Undead to successfully corrode it. Then, who knew what kind of monsters would appear.
The Guardians would also face the threat of the Void Undead in advance.
At the same time, this was also related to Gray’s safety. It was impossible for him to just stand by and watch.
After regaining some strength, Gray stood up and once again approached the hole where the black crystal was located. He had learned from his mistakes, and this time, he was very careful.
Gray also instructed the dragon egg to pay attention to sensing the evil energy. After leaving the space of consciousness, their communication became difficult again, but the dragon egg clearly understood what Gray meant, and he could feel that its attitude had become much more serious.
Recalling how he had been taken advantage of by the Void Undead, Gray came up with some lessons.
First of all, he could not look directly at the center of the Black Crystal, especially the part with the strange substance.
Then, he could not get too close. The last time, Gray had fallen into the trap precisely because he wanted to observe the black crystal up close.
Gray strictly followed his experience and carefully approached it. He only used the peripheral vision of his eyes to observe the state of the Black Crystal.
The result surprised Gray a little.
The black crystal seemed to have shattered!
Originally, the black crystal was only filled with cracks. At the very least, it could still be seen as a whole. However, it had now become a pile of debris, and the black substance in the center had disappeared without a trace.
Gray took two steps forward to confirm that the black crystal had indeed turned into debris. The size of the debris was not much bigger than a flea.
Seeing this, Gray did not seem to relax.
The crystal had broken, but the strange black substance in the crystal had disappeared without a trace. At most, the crystal was just a container to carry the substance. Even if the crystal had broken, if the black substance was still there, then the next victim would still appear sooner or later.
Gray held the fletchings of the metal arrow with one hand and used the tip of the arrow to pull the crystal fragments in the hole.
The metal arrow contained energy that could resist the evil power of the Void Undead. Any trace of evil power beneath the shattered crystal would cause it to react. With the dragon egg, it was impossible for it to hide such a reaction.
In the end, after searching around, Gray did not find anything else. There was no reaction from the metal arrow, and the dragon egg indicated that it did not sense anything wrong.
It seemed that it was indeed safe.
Perhaps the black substance had already been destroyed by the dragon egg and the arrow.
After all, it was clear that the arrow had already broken the crystal countless years ago. The remaining black substance was probably its final strength.
Gray let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he cautiously used the arrow to search the hole. After confirming that there was nothing valuable or dangerous, he began to fill the hole back up.
This was a precautionary move. If there was anything dangerous beneath this, then with the current strength of the Guardians, they would definitely not be able to deal with it. Perhaps one day, he would come back to explore, but that was definitely not now..
