The inside of the purple-gold red gourd was not pitch black.
This was a mysterious space, devoid of air and gravity, with two-colored streams of light swirling around.
Any living creature that fell in would have the two-colored halos converge upon them, splitting their cells and reducing them to the most basic amino acids.
Falling into the gourd.
A suffocating sensation immediately engulfed Zhang Wei!
Zhang Wei reacted instantly, tightly covering his nose and mouth to prevent any internal gas from escaping.
"This... is this the internal space of the gourd?"
"It's completely different from what I imagined, like being in another world!"
"The purple-gold red gourd has the ability to digest flesh and blood, I absolutely cannot stay here for long, I must escape first!"
Clenching his left fist, he swung it hard!
The lack of oxygen, combined with the exertion of great effort, made Zhang Wei feel dizzy.
The fist energy blasted out.
Without air resistance, the drill formed by his intent moved more than twice as fast!
The drill burst forth and astonishingly appeared by his side!
It sliced past his side and continued flying...
And then reappeared on the other side!
Thus, the drill appeared and disappeared by his side dozens of times, with several instances narrowly missing Zhang Wei himself!
"Mirror space? Or something else?"
"I can't hold on anymore... not enough oxygen!"
Zhang Wei's greatest crisis now was the imminent suffocation!
What to do?
The first thought that came to mind was electrolysis of water.
Water molecules are formed by hydrogen and oxygen, and oxygen can be produced through electrolysis...
Water!
Lightning Control!
"Damn it!"
In the void, the electrolyzed gas immediately dispersed, completely unusable for breathing!
His consciousness...
Was already growing hazy.
Wait a moment!
There were two inexhaustible substances in the Treasure Hall: pure water and furnace fire.
But, there should actually be a third one, which is air!
Although Zhang Wei's consciousness entered, Mo Duuo had stayed inside for a full ten years! She had entered with her physical body, what was she breathing?
Air!
No time left!
Zhang Wei's consciousness entered the Treasure Hall and retrieved a bull's stomach, tying it tightly!
Then he immediately returned!
Before the bull's stomach exploded, he inhaled all the gas within into his lungs!
Oxygen entered his lungs, instantly filling his red blood cells, and then supplying his entire body...
His mind cleared.
Only now did Zhang Wei have time to think.
"This gourd's interior is extremely bizarre. There's no normal space wall... or rather, its walls are not flat. Instead, it resembles a three-dimensional loop. Starting from one side, you return from the other."
"How can I get out..."
"Perhaps I should understand the specific situation here."
Though this scene was bizarre and fantastical, as long as he was patient, there would surely be clues!
At this moment.
The Yin and Yang energies, which had been swirling in this space, had converged around Zhang Wei. These unknown halos seemed only interested in organic matter, slowly and steadily coiling towards Zhang Wei.
"Intent Manifestation, Golden Bell Shield!"
Then, something that made Zhang Wei's jaw drop happened. These halos ignored the Golden Bell, ignored his clothes, and passed through all obstructions, converging by his side.
Zhang Wei sensed danger and moved his body to protect his vital parts.
The warm and cold lights struck his left arm simultaneously.
Pain!
Agonizing pain!
His left arm felt as if it were being pierced by countless nano-sized sharp needles in his cells!
Zhang Wei could clearly feel his gourmet cells crying out in agony!
In a moment, his left arm lost all sensation.
Lifting it again, it had become stiff and swollen, feeling as if he were gravely ill. It had lost its original skin color, appearing as if he were critically ill!
"So poisonous!"
"Is this the true killing intent within the purple-gold red gourd..."
"Yin and Yang energies can turn flesh and blood into pus!"
This was simply a nemesis for biological systems!
No matter how good your equipment, it could penetrate it; no matter how robust your physique, it could be decomposed. Fortunately, it only touched his arm just now. Had his head been hit, at least 5% of his brain cells would have been lost.
Do not underestimate this 5% of components. The brain, a precision structure, could malfunction even if one-thousandth was lost. Amnesia would be light; the probability of becoming an idiot or suffering brain death was quite high!
The Yin and Yang energies seemed to have been significantly depleted by that one strike. They were now circling and converging by Zhang Wei's side, seemingly preparing for the next attack!
"Wait!"
"This thing only targets organic matter?"
"What if I use organic matter to block it? Will it consume its energy?"
There's a way!
As the Yin and Yang energies surged towards him again, Zhang Wei summoned two ice-capped yaks to block in front of him.
The ice-capped yaks did not possess Zhang Wei's physique. In the absence of atmospheric pressure, the water in their lungs and blood vessels boiled directly. The yaks' eyes visibly became engorged and red, and gas continuously sprayed out from the gaps in their bodies...
However, it didn't matter!
Dead organic matter is still organic matter!
The Yin and Yang energies converged!
*Hiss!*
More than half of the yak's body instantly rotted into a dark, muddy sludge, likely what could be called high-quality fertilizer.
And after this strike, the Yin and Yang energies dissipated significantly, leaving only scattered starlight in the air...
It worked!
The accumulation of Yin and Yang energies indeed required time!
The main means of attack for this space on living beings was suffocation and loss of pressure, weight, and temperature...
If only there were air.
Zhang Wei truly wanted to laugh to the heavens.
Even in such a deadly place, he could survive. What else could possibly stump him!
Just a mere异度空间 (dimensional space)!
He made several deep cuts on his left arm to expel the accumulated pus as quickly as possible. The vast energy within him was being released, and both gourmet cells and ordinary cells were rapidly dividing.
Judging by this rate, his left arm might become even stronger after healing than before!
"Based on the energy dissipation, repairing the left arm won't require much."
"The immediate priority is to understand the concept of this gourd space."
First, its size!
Zhang Wei refused to believe that a mere level 72 ingredient could construct a boundless universe, or even a small space. This gourd must have limits!
"Lightning Control Fist Technique!"
Blue arcs of electricity surged around Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei was not adept at using electricity, so he rarely used it in combat, but it was sufficient for illumination.
The gourd's internal space was not dim. Even without the Yin and Yang energies, there was a faint glow around.
"Electric Energy Release!"
There was no skill involved, just converting biological energy into electrical energy and releasing it aimlessly, merely using the lightning to observe the size of the gourd's interior.
Similar to the spiral drill before, these currents disappeared on one side and reappeared on the other, continuing to move in a cycle until their energy was depleted.
Dozens of lightning bolts coursed through the space, creating a rather awe-inspiring spectacle!
"All angles are ricocheting!"
"No blind spots!"
"Could it be that this space is truly completely sealed, without any gaps?"
"Impossible!"
"There must be a hidden gap at the gourd's lid, I just haven't found it yet!"
