"All right," Flynn didn't put too much thought into Henry's words. He had seen the Luo Fish swallow a monster that had ripped apart a Qi-concentrating Realm master. It was unlikely Henry could defeat the Luo Fish with just the level of Qi-transformation Realm.
Henry, lying on the bed, recalled his battle with the Luo Fish, still feeling scared.
He lied to Flynn about what really happened that day.
It was Henry's broken sword that cut through the Luo Fish's body, but Henry didn't intend to tell anyone about it. The power of the broken sword completely exceeded Henry's imagination.
Another day passed. Henry took off the bandages. The wounds were almost recovered. His clothes were all tatter, so he had to find something to wear from the lab.
"Henry, what happened that day?" Flynn finally asked. He had been trying to hold back the question for a long time. "All the creatures went crazy, and you too. You all have a pair of bloodied red eyes. I was scared."
"I wanted to ask you the same question,"
Henry said while putting on a shirt, "You said there is an energy source that powering this lab. What is that energy source look like?"
Flynn thought for a while and answered, "If I remembered it correctly, it is a red crystal. It is put in a container at the lower level of the lab. The experimental samples were crawling all around it. I didn't get the chance to check it out closely."
"Of course!" Henry squinted.
While resting, Henry was thinking about what happened to him the other day. The sensation he had was similar to the time he was testing the Fire Crystal on Radiant Island.
After hearing Flynn's description, Henry was sure that the energy source under the lab was definitely a Fire Crystal! It could cause mood swings.
Observing Henry's expression, Flynn asked, "Henry, does this energy source have anything to do with all the creatures' abnormal behaviors?"
Henry nodded, "You said that all the creatures were interested in it?"
"Yes," Flynn replied, "Not just interested. I can see from their eyes that they want to swallow it. But for some reason, no one dares to take the first move."
"Of course they don't," Henry snorted. "That energy source contains the energy power eguals to several nuclear power plants combined. Anyone who swallows it would die right after. They are waiting for the energy source to wane."
"Then what are we going to do now? Continue searching a way out?" Flynn asked. He had completely relied on Henry, following everything Herny said.
"No," Henry shook his head, "According to my observation, the lab isn't built near the entrance of the Purgatory, rather on the deepest location. I guess Alvin League wasn't planning on leaving this place until they got what they wanted. We can't leave the Purgatory unless we are able to fight every step of the way."
Hearing this, Flynn shook his head hard, "It's impossible. There are too many of them and only two of us. Even a dozen of masters of Qi-concentrating Realm can't do that."
