Chapter 1464: This Is a Trap

~7 min read 1,265 words

One of the Dark Stars entered the barrier of the Gate of No Boundary and operated it. Soon he gave the answer: "Found it, can connect."

So fast? Ge Maizi Fort asked suspiciously: "Can you connect to that Gate of No Boundary even if you use the Gate of No Boundary outside?"

Another Dark Star explained: "Theoretically, it is possible, but we can connect to countless Gates of No Boundary outside. We don't know which one it belongs to."

"Countless?" Ge Maizi Fort was surprised.

"Yes, the Gate of No Boundary is

"Can't we directly use this door from the outside to connect to the door here?" Gemezibao asked.

Dark Star replied, "Theoretically, it is possible, but the inside and outside of every door are corresponding. Passing through the corresponding door is the most energy-efficient. If you insist on long-distance connection, the consumption is too great and it is meaningless."

Gemezibao couldn't help but feel distressed. He could clearly tell that this sentence contained a huge amount of information, but he couldn't grasp the scale of it, and he felt a bit at a loss as to how to continue asking.

He also wondered, if it were Anthony, what questions would he ask? Having been tricked by Anthony several times, Gemezibao deeply wished at this moment that he had such a helper by his side.

After a long while, he thought of some questions: "Does every divine star outside have a corresponding Boundless Gate connecting to this place? This place is just a cage, why would they correspond to each other?"

"That's right, this is the Boundless Cage, the Boundless Cage used to imprison divine stars. Of course, it is very important. It is located at the foundation of the tree-like branches and is the foundation that connects the entire void."

"If we want to go to other network branches, the fastest way is to teleport here first, quickly reach the Boundless Gate corresponding to another network branch through here, and then go out from there. Unfortunately, this kind of shortcut has been unable to persist due to the destruction by the Star Migrators, and even the path maps have been lost," Dark Star said.

So the Boundless Cage can also serve as a transit station? Thinking of this, Gemezibao was a little angry. People from the outside come and go as they please; they don't respect the indigenous people here at all.

The Boundless Cage is still located on the root tree-like branches of the void. Tree-like branches—another new term. Gemezibao felt like his consciousness couldn't keep up.

Forget it, never mind. Let's get the teleportation of the Boundless Gate sorted out first.

"How do I teleport to another Boundless Gate?" Gemezibao asked.

One of the Dark Stars said, "The simplest method is to contact the other party and let them open the Boundless Gate on their side at the same time."

"Impossible, they won't open the Boundless Gate so easily," Gemezibao said very firmly.

The rounds of contact with Ang and his group had already left a serious shadow in Gemezibao's heart. As soon as he thought of Anthony's voice, his nerves tightened.

These guys who dared to break into a stranger's territory so casually—could they get those guys to open the door?

"Try it. This is the simplest method. If it doesn't work, we have other methods. This is also the main reason we were sent in. There are no divine stars on the other side, right?" a Dark Star said.

"No, the strongest one should be a World Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, but it has been parasitized by parasitic vines and hasn't developed well." Try it then. Gemezibao nodded, and then felt a wave of annoyance. Nodding wasn't his habit; it was another day influenced by human habits.

"It doesn't matter. The World Tree of Ten Thousand Realms is too slow. If you hadn't controlled us first, the World Tree of Ten Thousand Realms wouldn't be able to touch us. We are Dark Stars." After the Dark Star finished speaking, its figure suddenly dimmed and completely disappeared into the void.

At the same time they were talking, another Dark Star had already activated the Boundless Gate and was sending a connection request to the only Boundless Gate in the void that could be contacted. As long as the connection was completed and the door opened, the other side of the door would be where the other Boundless Gate was located.

A few minutes later, a voice suddenly rang out from the door handle: "Black Smoke Ash? Is that you?"

The voice coming from the door handle was somewhat distorted, but from the tone, Gemezibao still immediately recognized the other party's identity—Anthony.

Black Smoke Ash? All the Dark Stars looked at each other, then finally looked at Gemezibao.

Gemezibao shook his head rapidly, fearing that these Dark Stars, who also belonged to the divine stars, didn't have the habit of shaking or nodding their heads and wouldn't understand. He then conveyed information with his will: "Don't know him, never heard of him."

The leading Dark Star thought for a moment, held the door handle, and replied: "It's me."

Anthony's voice of relief immediately rang out from the door handle: "Great, you're finally back. Did you find anyone? How many people are there?"

The Dark Stars looked at each other. This Anthony seemed to have mistaken them for a guy named Black Smoke Ash, who was looking for people for him and was supposed to send them over after finding them.

Isn't this a coincidence? The leading Dark Star thought for a moment and said, "Six."

"Six? Great, finding six is very good. Come back quickly, I'm opening the door," Anthony said excitedly.

Open the door?! He's opening the door just like that? You idiot! Gemezibao cursed inwardly.

Anthony being fooled so easily was beyond his expectations. He was clearly so shrewd when facing him, so why did he get fooled the moment he encountered these Dark Stars?

What was painful wasn't losing to the enemy, but that after the enemy beat him, they turned around and lost to someone even worse. Doesn't that mean he was even worse than that even worse person?

After Anthony finished saying he would open the door, the leading Dark Star pulled the door open, and a pitch-black vortex appeared behind it.

The Boundless Gate requires both sides to open it together. If one side isn't opened, the opened door is empty, and you can walk in and circle back from the side.

But if they are opened simultaneously, a pitch-black vortex will appear behind the door.

As soon as he saw the pitch-black vortex, the leading Dark Star dove in and disappeared with a 'whoosh'.

After a pause of a few seconds, just as the second Dark Star was preparing to enter, the World Tree of Ten Thousand Realms suddenly stopped it: "Stop, the one who just went in has disappeared; I've lost contact."

"Lost contact? Dead?" Gemezibao asked hurriedly. At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart: So it was a trap. I knew those people couldn't be fooled so easily.

Gemezibao fell into a very strange mood. He both hoped the Dark Stars could finish off those guys and didn't want those guys to be finished off too easily, otherwise it would just highlight how bad he was.

The World Tree of Ten Thousand Realms said: "I don't know. I can't sense him. I can't sense any of my branches on him. This is a trap."
