Chapter 1470 It's Even More Dangerous Outside
When Anthony first touched the doorknob, he sensed something was wrong. It wasn't a demon spirit, because it wasn't simple; it was a cunning creature. Although it was well disguised, Anthony still noticed it.
Although he didn't know what was wrong at the time, Anthony just felt that something was very wrong, so he didn't return to the barrier immediately, but instead left it to its own devices for a long time while gathering more information.
The doorknob seemed very cooperative, readily compensating each time, but Anthony knew this routine all too well and wanted to see what the other party was up to.
Sure enough, the trap was hidden in the compensation box, and once the airship entered, it couldn't get out.
Anthony had actually entered the trap once before, but he entered and exited on his own the first time, which was why he borrowed dozens of skeletons from Ang and finally triggered the trap.
The trap was triggered. Anthony pulled out a protective barrier and rushed in, angrily demanding, "Why can't you open the airship's hatch? Why is everything about you faulty? Did you deliberately give me this junk?"
"The hatch won't open? How could this be? That's impossible. How many people have boarded the ship? Could it be that there are too many people?" the doorknob said in confusion.
"There are only forty-odd people, all of whom are senior members of our chamber of commerce and their families. But while the people have come up, the supplies haven't. We need to find a way to open the hatch so we can move the supplies," Anthony said anxiously.
"Oh? Did your family come up too?" the doorknob asked.
“We’re up here, why are you asking this?” Anthony asked.
The doorknob's tone changed: "Nothing, I just wanted to use them to threaten you. Open the bottle of Chaos Mist so I can replenish my energy before we talk."
Anthony asked in astonishment, "That's it?"
"What? That's all? What else can you do?" the doorknob asked in astonishment.
Anthony suddenly realized that the identity they revealed to the doorkeeper was that of a Starborn member of a merchant guild who had been lucky enough to buy the Gate of No Boundaries and had gotten involved in this matter by chance. Therefore, the doorkeeper had no idea of their true identities and did not take them seriously.
Whether or not it is taken seriously, it does not prevent Anthony from controlling it. The Chaos Liquid Bottle that was originally sent over to replenish energy was also confiscated by Anthony. Without using any means, it will never be able to replenish energy in this lifetime.
After some planning, Anthony and his family were tricked onto the airship. The airship was for escaping, and those who could get on were naturally important. A certain number was set, and once that number was reached, the hatch was closed, thus creating a large number of hostages.
"Aren't you afraid that I didn't get on the airship? And that you locked me outside?" Anthony asked.
"Is there a difference? If there's someone important to you on the airship, then you'll need to exchange the Chaos Mist for it," the doorknob said.
That's true. Anthony also thought that what if all those who boarded the airship were enemies? But then he thought, how could an airship meant for escaping be used to send enemies on first? That doesn't make sense.
It has to be said that this was a very good trap. If Anthony really wanted to escape using the airship, his whole family would probably be trapped by now.
Unfortunately, there was no one alive on the airship except him, but that didn't stop him from angrily questioning, "You went to so much trouble to deceive me, just for the Chaos Mist? What do you need the Chaos Mist for?"
"Of course, it's to open the Gate of Boundless Space and teleport things," the doorknob said.
“Didn’t you say that the Gate of Boundless Space is the only way for us to leave the boundless cage? This is a cage. What are you going to send into the cage?” Anthony asked.
"Don't worry about that, just give me the Chaos Mist," the doorknob said.
Anthony pulled out a bottle containing the chaotic mist and said, "Answer me, answer my question and I'll give it to you."
The doorknob remained silent for a long while before hesitantly saying, "The Gate of Boundless Realm is your only way to leave the Boundless Cage, and also your only way to return to it."
“Return to the Boundless Cage? You want to return to the Boundless Cage? Why? Isn’t this a cage? Why do you want to come back?” Anthony was startled and quickly asked.
The doorknob quickly said, "It's not that I want to go back, but this is the only passage. I can open it whenever I want to go back, so I need to know how to open it."
“Heh.” Anthony chuckled, opened the bottle and poured out a drop. This amount was not enough to open the Gate of Boundless, but it still aroused the doorknob’s desire: “Why do you want to come back? If you don’t tell me, I would rather everyone be trapped here to die than give you the Chaos Mist.”
The doorknob remained silent for a while before saying with some helplessness, "Two terrifying guys have come here. They're hunting us down everywhere. It's not as safe outside as inside the Endless Cage now."
So they wanted to come back to escape. What kind of guy is so terrifying?
This ball of destruction, casually passed over by the door handle, is said to be able to expel the will of Gmezburg, so it must be quite powerful itself. Yet it was forced to hide in a cage to escape.
"What kind of guys are they? What are their names?" Anthony asked curiously.
"I've already answered your question, stop going on and on, give me the Chaos Mist first," the doorknob said.
“No, tell me first what they are? What are their names?” Anthony said.
The doorknob said angrily, "I knew you would break your promise, but it doesn't matter. Thank you for that drop of chaotic mist."
As he spoke, the face on the doorknob appeared, then quickly disappeared into thin air.
Anthony looked around warily, then quickly stepped out of the barrier and reached out to pick up the barrier bead. However, as soon as he touched it, he found that the barrier bead was stuck to the floor and he couldn't pick it up at all.
The next moment, the face of the doorknob slowly emerged from the bead, saying, "Every time I teleport something, I secretly keep a portion. After so many teleports, plus that drop you just gave me, I've finally saved enough to let me escape the barrier. And you just happen to be in the airship..."
"Now, give me back the bottle of Chaos Liquid, or I'll... you and everyone on the airship..." The doorknob couldn't finish its sentence because it could see what was inside the airship.
Besides Anthony, there was only a pile of skeletons at the hatch, so it seems there was no one alive on the airship except for Anthony.
"You didn't let your people in? You've been lying to me all along?" The doorknob realized it had been tricked.
Anthony shrugged, with an expression that said, "What can you do if I lied to you?"
The doorknob's expression shifted a few times before it calmly said, "If there's no one else, then there's you, right? You can't escape anyway. If I kill you, the Chaotic Mist in your hand will be mine."
