Angor stared at the thick fog created by the nightmare aura. As he looked deeper, he saw tall stone towers, dark wastelands, ancient castles crawling with rose vines, and other strange sights.
They were all scenes of the Nightmare Realm.
The fog shone into the illusion and projected into reality. It was a sign that the nightmare aura was extremely strong.
"Let's go down. They're waiting for you on the island. Oh, right. Follow me and make sure to avoid the fog. Rein always cleans the place, but there are always living threads and parasites hiding in there. "
Angor didn't feel any threat from the fog. In fact, he even felt a sense of intimacy. Still, he nodded and followed Tree Spirit's advice.
Tree Spirit and Angor had to pass by the edge of the fog on their way to the island.
Now that they were so close to the fog, Angor could clearly sense the powerful aura inside. Angor couldn't help but whisper, "Such a strong nightmare aura … the semi-passage inside the ruin must have been completed already."
Tree Spirit and Angor went around the mist and landed on the island.
Treading on the gravel beach, Tree Spirit raised his head and looked at the thick fog that covered the night sky. His eyes were filled with doubt. "Why do I feel that the fog became more active when we landed? It wasn't like this during the day. Did the living threads come again? "
Tree Spirit didn't understand, but he didn't think too much about it. He would go to the ruin later. Even if the living threads did come again, Sunders should be able to control them to a certain extent.
While Tree Spirit looked up at the mist, Angor was observing the surroundings of the island.
Angor couldn't see clearly because of the fog in the sky. Now that he was on the ground, he realized that this wasn't really an island. It was more like a peninsula at best. There was a small tail to the north of the island, which connected to the vast wasteland.
The island wasn't big. There weren't any trees or plants on it. The entire island was made up of small rocks that could be seen at a glance.
Angor couldn't see the ruin with his eyes, but his spirit power allowed him to clearly sense an illusion barrier at the center of the beach.
The illusory barrier was constructed perfectly and blended in with the surroundings, making it difficult for others to detect. Of course, the illusion nodes couldn't fool Angor.
The wisps of nightmare energy leaking out from the top of the illusion barrier had already revealed its identity.
Come to think of it, behind the illusory barrier should be that strange relic.
As he observed the illusion barrier, the ground not far away from him began to tremble. Following a series of cracking noises, a skeletal hand reached out from the ground.
Soon, a hole appeared on the ground. A white skeleton with a staff in its hand and an aura of death was standing in front of them.
Without wasting any time, the skeleton swung its staff and unleashed a beam of black light at Angor. In the end, the explosion created a small crater two meters in front of him.
The skeleton kept staring at Angor with its dark eye sockets. If it was a real attack, it was impossible for it to miss. Clearly, he wasn't going to attack Angor.
"This is a forbidden area. Don't go any further." Angor heard a faint voice.
Angor didn't know what was going on. Brute Cavern seemed to be the one who sent the skeleton here. Angor looked at Tree Spirit to see what he had to say.
However, Tree Spirit pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered with a frown, "Looks like Duncan is slacking off again …"
Tree Spirit looked at Angor and said, "This skeleton is Duncan's Skeleton Guardian. Duncan accepted a guard job and has been staying in the ruin for a while. But he built a research lab next to the ruin. He's been slacking off every day and only ordered the skeleton guards to chase away visitors. The Bone Guards only listen to orders and don't recognize people. Even if Rhine came, he would be stopped by the Bone Guards. "
After Tree Spirit finished speaking, he gently raised his hand, and a green vine drilled out from the ground and bound the skeleton guard tightly.
"Don't mind it. Let's go." As Tree Spirit spoke, he took the lead and walked forward. When he passed by the Skeleton Guard, he also grabbed a vine and stripped the staff from the Skeleton Guard's hand and played with it.
Angor glanced at the staff. "This is a necromancer's staff made from the bones of the dead and Requiem Stone. This is why the skeleton guard can attack with death aura. The quality seems to be okay. The craftsman must be quite skilled. "
"Why did Mister Tree Spirit take the staff away?" Angor asked in a professional manner.
Tree Spirit chuckled and said, "You may think that this staff is only good for looks, but to Duncan, this staff is his treasure. Since he's slacking off, let's make him pay for it. "
Angor didn't know what to say. That's a little childish, isn't it?
Tree Spirit put the staff away and asked Angor, "By the way, when we were descending, I heard you mumbling something about the passage being completed. What do you mean?"
Angor considered. "I didn't see the dome, but the nightmare aura here is so strong that it's almost tangible. I think there's already a semi-passage leading to the Nightmare Realm inside the ruin."
In other words, the inside of the ruin had become a mezzanine. To a certain extent, the ruin was under the dome.
For normal wizards, the ruin was as dangerous as the various domes in the Evernight Kingdom.
Tree Spirit didn't know much about semi-passages, but he understood Angor's words. "You mean there's a passage leading to the Nightmare Realm?"
"You can say that."
"If that's the case, Tuwalu said he saw those nightmare creatures running into the ruins with the dimensional materials. Did they do it to open up a tunnel?" Tree Spirit immediately thought of the prophecy Maya told them not long ago.
Angor considered for a moment. "It's hard to say. The semi-passage is —"
Before Angor could finish his thought, a ripple appeared in the illusion barrier in front of them. Next, a dark figure rushed out from the ripple.
"Who's there? Take my staff away! "
His hoarse voice resounded throughout the small island.
After shouting angrily, he looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the two people who were walking towards the illusory barrier.
When he saw the staff of the White Bone Guard being played back and forth by a young man who was almost naked, his arrogance from before was instantly extinguished.
"Mister Tree Spirit …"
