Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat

Chapter 24: Welcome to the Darkin Race’s Sealed Land

“Damn it!”

Matthew watched his legs sink into the dirt, but there was nothing he could do. He cursed inwardly.

“Roar!”

When Heber saw its claws sinking into the ground, it let out a terrified dragon roar. Its huge wings flapped non-stop, and the towering trees around it were broken. However, it was unable to leave the ground.

Matthew couldn’t help but turn to the two sisters beside him. Half of their bodies had already been buried.

However, Matthew was unable to protect himself, so he naturally didn’t have the time to care about these two sisters, and could only allow them to sink into the ground.

After a long time, Matthew was only left with half his head outside, and the rest had already sunk into the ground.

On the other hand, Heber also only had half of its head outside the ground, and half of its huge wings were buried in the mud, unable to move.

There was despair, indignation, and fear in Matthew’s eyes as he said to Heber, “Let us meet again in our next life.”

He didn’t know if he could survive after sinking into the earth.

He had finally come back to life, and he had wanted to live a wonderful life.

He did not expect his life to end so miserably.

Unwillingness filled his heart, but it was quickly extinguished by despair.

So what if he was unwilling? Facing such a desperate situation, he could only blame himself for not being strong enough.

If he was powerful enough, how could he be obstructed by this place?

With a wave of his hand, he would have been able to completely destroy that whatever God’s Curse and Darkin’s Sealed Land.

“Roar!”

Heber groaned miserably.

In its huge vertical pupils, there were actually traces of glistening teardrops.

Matthew saw the deep reluctance in Heber’s eyes.

According to the human timeline, Heber had just hatched a month ago, so it was not too much to call it a baby.

Now that it was facing a life and death situation, leaving behind a single tear was nothing. Even if it cried bitterly, Matthew could understand.

“It’s all my fault for not working hard enough to make you stronger.”

Matthew sighed, feeling guilt towards Heber.

If he had not hatched Heber, it might not have had to go through so much, and it would not have to face the current situation.

If it were to meet a good master in the future, it might become an existence that everyone looked up to.

It would not have to die a silent and unknown death.

“Roar!”

Heber made its master understand its intentions by howling.

It did not regret following Matthew.

Because it had followed Matthew, it had experienced so many exciting things in less than a month.

If it had followed someone else, it might not have had such an exciting life experience.

Furthermore, they were dying together. This was enough to erase the sadness in Heber’s heart.

It didn’t matter if it lived or died as long as it could be with Matthew.

Matthew smiled warmly when he sensed Heber’s intentions.

With such an affectionate beast by his side, the sadness brought by the tragic ending gradually dissipated.

Since he could not escape death, he might as well face it calmly.

“Let’s meet again in our next life.”

Matthew closed his eyes with a smile, and he was no longer fearful of death.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man and the beast were completely buried in the ground. Not even a single hair was left.

Following that, the scarlet mist dissipated, and the ground returned to its original state, without a single trace of moisture. The trees that Heber had broken were also standing in place, completely unharmed.

Everything returned to its original state.

It was as if the horrifying situation had never happened.

…

Matthew had a long dream.

An eternal dream that he could not walk out of.

In the dream, there was only darkness and no light.

Matthew wandered aimlessly through the darkness, wondering how to get out of there.

After an unknown period of time, a sparkling drop of water appeared in the sky.

It landed on the ground where he was standing and immediately created ripples, causing the entire dream realm to become illusionary.

Matthew’s consciousness returned to reality. He slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

After adapting for a long while, he finally opened his eyes completely.

The first thing he saw was a stone cave that was flickering with scarlet light.

“I’m not dead?”

Matthew immediately rose to examine his body.

He touched his cheeks, then the rest of his body.

After realizing that there was no injury, Matthew felt doubtful.

What is going on?

Why am I not dead?

And there is no injury at all?

What about Heber, Brenda, and Edith?

Matthew immediately looked around and found Brenda and Edith beside him, with Heber lying on top of him.

“Fortunately!”

Matthew took Heber down. By now, it had recovered its palm-sized form.

He took Heber in his hands and nuzzled its face.

After the life and death parting just now, their friendship had been elevated.

The boy and the beast would never leave each other in the future.

And Matthew’s intimate contact had awakened Heber.

When it realized that it was not dead, it immediately howled twice to express its joy.

Next, it came to its master’s shoulder, moving towards his face and licking it.

Matthew smiled and touched Heber’s forehead.

“Looks like we don’t have to wait for the next life.”

Matthew made up his mind that he would definitely improve his strength as soon as possible after leaving this place, and he wouldn’t allow today’s incident to occur again!

But soon, he discovered another huge problem.

How could they leave this place?

He hadn’t seen an exit since he woke up.

It was surrounded by dark red crystal walls. There was not even a gap for the wind to enter.

“By the way, where is this place?”

Matthew crouched down and touched the ground, then put his finger into his mouth.

He wanted to use the soil to determine where they were.

This was the benefit of reading many books.

The ancient text had described the soil of various places on the Vartas continent.

Or Matthew wouldn’t have done this.

Unfortunately, he failed.

There was no taste.

The dark red crystals were like stones with zero bacteria, without any smell or taste.

“How can this be?”

Matthew began to look around.

He wanted to see if there were any details that he had overlooked.

Heber followed behind Matthew. It didn’t understand such things, but it could stand up and protect its master when he was in danger.

Half an hour later, Matthew returned to his spot and sat on the ground as if paralyzed.

“Damn it, there’s no exit!”

The joy of surviving a calamity was instantly washed away.

There was no exit here. They could not get out. Without food supplies, they could not escape death either.

Was this any different from the previous ending?

Wasn’t it just delaying their deaths?

“B*stard!”

Matthew pounded the ground hard.

And Heber returned to his shoulder with a look of dismay.

Suddenly, an extremely aged voice sounded, as if it came from the end of time. Only after a long time did it reach Matthew’s ears.

“Welcome to the Darkin Race’s Sealed Land.”
