234: Chapter 234 Entering the Portal

"It should be usable now, right?" Nie Ning looked at the oval-shaped portal and asked in a low voice.

Heloise smiled. "It should be, why don't you try it first?"

In reality, she wasn't sure if it would work either.

The Teleportation Array here wasn't more profound than the one in Wantai Forest, but it had several hidden procedures set up, clearly to prevent outsiders from entering.

"You go in."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning glanced at Chi Yu, who was playing dead in the corner.

Chi Yu became anxious immediately upon hearing this. "That's not a good idea, right? What if the Teleportation Array isn't fixed yet? How about we find some small animal to experiment with?"

"You have a Spiritual Power link with Heloise; if something goes wrong, we will save you."

Nie Ning picked up Chi Yu and tossed it onto the stone platform.

Contracts couldn't be signed with just any animal.

Otherwise, why would others go through the trouble of cultivating? Wouldn't it be better to just contract hundreds of exotic beasts?

In reality, a contract is similar to a branding spell and requires occupying one's Spiritual Power limit; frequently signing contracts is not a good thing for a wizard.

And without a contract, who knows what the situation is on the other side of the Teleportation Array; if one died, no one would even know.

Chi Yu looked at Heloise, hoping she would speak up for it.

After all, a Teleportation Array is not an ordinary object; if something went wrong, it would likely be torn to shreds by spatial rifts in an instant.

Heloise ultimately couldn't bear to watch and could only look at Nie Ning. "Teacher, don't you have a soul of corruption?"

Chi Yu was moved to tears; finally, someone was speaking up for it.

Nie Ning rolled his eyes. "Do you know how precious that soul of corruption is? Ten silly birds wouldn't be worth one of them."

He wasn't lying, especially regarding the Jerky Bear Head; a hundred Chi Yus wouldn't compare to it.

Hearing this, Heloise stared at Nie Ning with her big, watery eyes.

Seeing this, Nie Ning was quite speechless. When did this brat learn this trick?

"Forget it, I'll give you some face today. This is something you owe me, and you'll have to pay it back later."

After speaking, Nie Ning took out a sealing box from his bosom and released three palm-sized Flesh Spiders from it.

Under Nie Ning's control, the Flesh Spiders began to enter the portal one after another.

Judging from the weak Spiritual Power link, except for the first one that vanished without a trace, the other two were still in a safe state.

Nie Ning scratched his head, feeling a bit strange. Could the Teleportation Array be unstable?

"What's wrong?" Heloise noticed Nie Ning's expression was off and asked.

"It's nothing, the portal might be unstable. Only two still have a Spiritual Power link, while the other one has disappeared."

Nie Ning did not hide it; if the Teleportation Array was unstable, it would definitely need Heloise to repair it.

Heloise nodded thoughtfully, not feeling surprised.

Based on her knowledge reserves, being able to repair it to this extent was already quite good, and most of the inspiration came from the Teleportation Array in Wantai Forest.

Subsequently, Nie Ning released three more Flesh Spiders into the portal.

No problems occurred during this time, which left Nie Ning unable to figure out what was going on for a moment.

If a mistake occurred during the adjustment, things would likely become even more troublesome.

Immediately after, Nie Ning turned his gaze back to Chi Yu.

Sensing Nie Ning's unkind gaze, Chi Yu's body shivered involuntarily twice.

It cursed inwardly, wondering what was wrong with Nie Ning and why he kept staring at it.

In reality, when Chi Yu harbored malice toward Nie Ning, Nie Ning had already started considering how to trick Chi Yu to its death.

If it weren't for the fact that he still needed it to protect Heloise, Nie Ning might have already split it in two with a Wind-Thunder Blade strike.

Nie Ning glanced at Chi Yu. "Be conscious of yourself, we will go in right after."

Chi Yu looked at Heloise, but this time, Heloise did not speak up for Chi Yu again.

There were only the three of them here; Nie Ning definitely wouldn't go in first himself, and he couldn't let her go first, right?

There was no other way; under Nie Ning's urging, Chi Yu had no choice but to walk into the portal helplessly.

Nie Ning and Heloise waited for a while. Heloise checked the contract on her wrist and then nodded at Nie Ning.

After a moment of thought, Nie Ning did not let Heloise walk in front.

After all, there was no contract between the two of them, so the result would be the same no matter who went first, and walking in front himself could also foster Heloise's goodwill.

Then, Nie Ning grabbed Heloise by the collar and walked into the Teleportation Array together, lest this girl run away halfway.

Compared to the Teleportation Array in Wantai Forest, Nie Ning didn't feel much discomfort this time.

After the teleportation ended, the two had arrived in a room.

Strangely, this room was made of some kind of black material, and there was no Teleportation Array pattern appearing beneath their feet.

"Could it be a random teleportation?" Nie Ning looked around; he also didn't see Chi Yu or the others.

However, Heloise was still in his hand, proving that random teleportation is not triggered when teleporting together.

"It seems that should be it." Heloise nodded, her gaze turning toward the only entrance and exit on the side.

The two exchanged a glance and then cautiously walked toward the door.

Pushing open the door, a vast wilderness appeared before them.

This place was covered with large patches of unknown yellow-green weeds that were three meters tall, and there was a layer of water ten centimeters deep on the ground.

Blue sky, white clouds, and silence all around gave one a "dreamcore" feeling.

And the place where they were located was a black box-like room.

Nie Ning tried to fly, but was pressed down by some inexplicable force; however, actions like jumping were not affected in any way.

"Perhaps it's some kind of anti-air formation."

However, Nie Ning had just jumped up to take a look; this area was much larger than imagined, and it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance.

And in the vicinity, Nie Ning saw a few small black dots, which seemed to be black boxes just like theirs.

At this moment, Heloise extracted some water and plants, then took out props to conduct experiments.

"It's not poisonous." After some fussing, Heloise confirmed that it was just normal water and plants, not even carrying any elemental energy attributes.

"I always feel like it's a bit strange." Nie Ning touched his chin, unable to tell for a moment if it was his illusion.

Unable to figure it out, Nie Ning did not continue to think about it.

Now that they had finally entered this place, it was naturally impossible to stay inside the black box forever.

Nie Ning wrapped his feet with battle aura and then stood on the water's surface.

Seeing that he didn't fall through, Nie Ning couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although Heloise had already checked the water quality, being careful was never wrong.

But just after leaving the range of the black box, Nie Ning noticed a problem.

The recovery speed of his battle aura and magic power had actually slowed down!

Moreover, in his perception, the concentration of elements in the air was very low, not even one percent of that in Ska City.

In other words, if a battle were to occur, the magic power in his body would be very difficult to replenish.
