Chapter 628 The Gourd with Mysteries Within

Chu Tian stared at the opening. He thought, this definitely wasn't the normal entrance. One must know that this Gourd Island was massive. From the sea surface to here was over 9,000 meters. One could imagine. If it were taken out, it would likely be taller than Mount Everest. Chu Tian began to feel around the rock, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing. Just as he was about to return to the small hole and probe it with his divine sense, a strangely shaped large fish slowly swam over. Chu Tian had never seen this kind of fish before. It was as ugly as could be, almost indescribable. Just then... Suddenly, the location of the hole discovered by the little golden dragon made a bubbling sound. A bubble spewed out. The bubble didn't float out slowly; instead, it was ejected as if by a high-pressure water gun. It grew larger and larger, instantly reaching tens of meters, completely enveloping the ugly giant fish. This scene stunned Chu Tian. But in his daze, the bubble actually flew back towards the gourd. It also became smaller and smaller, eventually shrinking to the size of a thumb, and was sucked back into the hole. Surprisingly, the giant ugly fish, enveloped by the bubble, wasn't crushed into pulp as the bubble shrank. Instead, it shrank along with the bubble and entered the gourd just like that. "Holy crap... is this gourd alive, does it catch fish to eat?" Chu Tian exclaimed in surprise. Then his eyes darted... He scanned outwards with his divine sense and discovered two more large fish not far away. He swam over quickly, using his massive mecha's power to control one of the fish and brought it back to below the hole. As expected... As soon as he brought the fish back, the gourd spat out a bubble. It instantly enveloped him and the fish. Chu Tian's heart rejoiced... it was indeed possible to enter this way. However... as the bubble shrank, it passed through his body, pushing him outside the bubble and only taking the large fish back. "What the heck..." Chu Tian cursed. You stinking gourd, you're even picky? I still can't get in... What should I do? After hesitating, he caught another fish. This time, the moment the gourd spat out the bubble, Chu Tian pried open the ugly fish's mouth and drilled in. Fortunately, he was wearing his mecha, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have done such a disgusting thing. As expected... under his divine sense's outward projection, he saw his own body, this time truly shrinking slowly like the fish. It gradually approached the gourd's opening and then slowly floated in. Pop... Suddenly he heard the sound of the bubble bursting. Chu Tian knew he had entered. Bang... Chu Tian punched the fish's mouth. The ugly fish in great pain opened its mouth and spat Chu Tian out. When he appeared, he saw the little golden dragon, peeking out from the small hole. When it saw Chu Tian, it wagged its tail excitedly and rushed over. Chu Tian also found that after entering here, his body had returned to normal. His appearance startled the three fish inside, causing them to swim away in panic. It turned out that after these fish were caught and brought in, they were treated as if they had been released here. "Yiya ya..." The little golden dragon, formed from the Ancestral Dragon Emperor Qi, gestured and chattered in front of Chu Tian, pointing inside and babbling unintelligibly. Chu Tian tried to communicate with it using his soul, but it showed no reaction. In the end, he could only sigh, understanding that this creature was definitely intellectually disabled. He ignored it, knowing without it telling him that he had to go inside to take a look. He pushed the little golden dragon aside with his hand and swam directly inside. He had spent over two hours from the surface to here. If it weren't for the single-soldier combat mecha, he would have suffocated. He hadn't tested whether the seal form of the druid's travel form also didn't require breathing in the real world. This mecha was so powerful that it could directly filter a large amount of oxygen from the seawater to supply Chu Tian's breathing. Chu Tian gradually swam inwards, with the little golden dragon always leading the way. In this dark place, its light had even greater penetration than the searchlights on Chu Tian's mecha, illuminating the surroundings brightly. It also kept pointing forward. Chu Tian was curious. This was an upside-down gourd; shouldn't the inside be upwards? Why was it that after reaching here, Chu Tian felt gravity pulling him downwards? This gourd seemed to be placed horizontally... As he moved further inside, he found it becoming narrower. As Chu Tian guessed, it was indeed a horizontally placed gourd! But why did it look vertical from the outside? Could it be that the world inside this gourd was different from the outside? The outside world couldn't affect the world within? Reaching the narrowest part, suddenly there was no more seawater ahead. It was as if a membrane was blocking the seawater. Chu Tian took a step forward, passing through the invisible membrane, entering a world without water. But the moment he stepped through, he suddenly felt the world change, and his entire body began to fall downwards. Chu Tian looked up and saw that the narrow part of the gourd he had penetrated was now above his head. Looking up through it, he saw a body of clear water, sparkling. Entering this lower layer of the gourd, it had surprisingly become a right-side-up gourd. This was truly strange... The mecha activated its propulsion, and Chu Tian stabilized his body. The little golden dragon somersaulted in the air, clearly bewildered. Finally, Chu Tian reached out and grabbed its tail, righting its body. Only then did the creature tremble and hover in the air. It looked around blankly. "Yiya ya..." Suddenly, its eyes lit up with excitement, pointing downwards. It rushed in that direction. Chu Tian had already noticed the peculiarity below. He quickly grabbed it. If this rash creature rushed down and encountered danger, there would be no time to save it. Below, there was a structure like an altar, similar to the altar on the island. Upon the altar, there was a huge sphere, emitting a dark luster. The sphere wasn't placed on top; it was connected by several chains, with a cage-like structure resembling a sphere enclosing the egg-like sphere. Chu Tian grabbed the little golden dragon, which then struggled and bit him, constantly pointing at the egg and yelping. Chu Tian ignored it and slowly approached the giant egg. Seeing Chu Tian walk towards it, the little golden dragon stopped struggling. Instead, it looked excited, as if drooling from the corners of its mouth. "You want to eat it?" Chu Tian, of course, saw its intention and asked curiously, stopping his movement. "Yiya ya..." The little golden dragon heard Chu Tian speak and didn't move forward. It began to urge him on, meaning it wanted Chu Tian to hurry up and go over. Chu Tian stopped here because he sensed the aura emanating from the giant egg. The giant egg shared a similar aura with the little dragon girl and this little golden dragon before him. However, there was also a trace of evil emanating from it.
