The Astral Pool Ruin.
When the moonlight slowly covered the surface of the pool, the three observation pavilions on the surface of the pool began to absorb the rippling light. The light gathered at the top of one of the pavilions and released a beam of light to the other pavilions.
When the rays of light connected to the top of all the observation pavilions, an invisible barrier that was hard to see with the naked eye completely enveloped the Astral Pond Ruins.
Wallace floated above one of the pavilions and spoke to Rhine, who was standing in the center of the pool. "As expected of an observation pavilion designed by Aesop. The space nodes are perfect for dividing the light. I don't see anything on my side, but I think the impact can reach the level of a level-2 truth-finder."
Iron Granny didn't fly to the sky. Instead, she remained in one of the pavilions. "I'm fine too."
After making sure the other two pavilions could stay open, Rhine looked at the center of the pool. Through the water surface, he saw the tunnel leading to the alternate dimension.
Just like what Rhine saw before, he didn't see anything strange in the area illuminated by the starlight. He didn't see any creature wearing leather shoes either. However, this didn't mean the tunnel was safe.
In the dark shadows that were not illuminated by light, there might be hidden dangers that were hard to detect.
"What are you thinking about?" While Rhine was observing the passage, Tree Spirit's lazy voice came from behind him. "Don't forget, after the Wall of Light is activated, tens of thousands of magical crystals are consumed every minute."
Tree Spirit sounded like he was just showing off, but he was clearly urging Sunders to hurry.
Rhine glanced at Tree Spirit and didn't say anything. He reached out a finger and touched the water surface.
Ripples spread out on the surface of the water. Tree Spirit put away his lazy expression. Wallace and Iron Granny also put on a solemn expression.
They couldn't see the nightmare aura, but they knew the ripples meant the tunnel to the ruin was open.
"I'm going in," Rhine said in a flat voice.
"Okay. Be careful." Tree Spirit's voice changed from lazy to serious.
Rhine nodded and jumped into the ripples. It was as if Rhine had broken through a water membrane. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in the pitch-black and deep tunnel.
From the outside, it looked like a tunnel that led downwards. But when he entered, the gravity seemed to adjust automatically, and he stood firmly on the ground.
This also meant that the ruins under the Star Pool were not in reality. The only connection it had with reality was the water membrane behind it. Its real body was still hidden in the unknown void.
Rhine didn't look back. Instead, he closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings.
Just like last time, his mental strength couldn't penetrate the wall, and he couldn't see what was behind the wall. It seemed that the magic array inside the wall was still operating. With Rhine's strength, he could shatter the wall, but he would definitely trigger a backlash from the Magic Array. It would be hard to say what would happen then.
Besides, breaking the wall would alert the nightmare creatures in the core of the ruin. His goal this time was not to clean up the nightmare creatures. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Rhine did not intend to destroy the ruins.
His spiritual power could only probe deeper, but when he reached the intersection of light and darkness, he could not go any further.
At the intersection of light and darkness, there seemed to be the most solid spiritual barrier. His spiritual power alone could not penetrate the barrier.
There were only a few places that he could probe, but at least Rhine was sure that there was no danger within the range of light.
The range of light was easy to see, but it was not. Last time, when Rhine came to this passage, he noticed that there were some strange creatures that were invisible to the naked eye that looked like snot monsters. When those snot monsters sensed Rhine, they attacked him, but their attacks were very weak and did not cause any damage to Rhine. Seeing this, the snot monsters were startled and disappeared in the air.
No matter how hard Rhine searched, he couldn't find the snot monsters. Later, Rhine went back and did some research. He learned that they were called Void Travelers, a strange existence that lived in the void.
There were not many records about them because wizards rarely encountered them. Even if they did, they could not catch them. The only thing that was known was that they would wander aimlessly in the void.
Another reason why wizards did not want to pay too much attention to them was that Void Travelers were very weak. Even an apprentice would not be able to do much harm to them.
It was precisely because Rhine had encountered a Void Traveler that he was so vigilant. Who knew if there were other monsters hiding in places that could not be seen by the naked eye?
After making sure there was no danger within the range of light, Rhine moved forward.
Soon, Rhine arrived at the intersection of light and darkness. Rein paused for a moment. This was where the creature with leather shoes came from.
Rhine only paused for a moment before he kept moving forward. Soon, his body was submerged in the darkness.
Tree Spirit, who was observing Rhine's movements, saw Rhine disappear into the darkness and whispered, "Let's hope nothing happened in the ruin."
After Rhine entered the darkness, he did not encounter any so-called creatures wearing leather shoes. However, this place was slightly different from when he first came in.
A giant head flying in the air about one meter in front of him was spitting stinky saliva at him.
Traces of corrosive saliva could be seen on the ground. At the same time, there were some black shadows moving behind the head. Their blood-red eyes were cruel and ferocious as they glowed in the darkness.
Unknowingly, this once peaceful passageway was now filled with extremely terrifying demonic creatures!
…
It was almost midnight when he received Tree Spirit's message.
He walked out of the ruin and saw Tree Spirit standing under a tree, deep in thought.
Tree Spirit slowly looked up when he heard his footsteps. "You're here. I'll go tell Sunders."
"No need. I've already told my professor. He'll be here soon."
Tree Spirit was surprised. "You told him?"
Tree Spirit was puzzled when Angor nodded … When did he say that?
I've been here all this time, and I didn't see him talking to Sunders. Even if Sunders used an illusion QQ, Tree Spirit should have seen it.
Or was Angor's Distant Sound already able to reach the mirror world? That was impossible. Tree Spirit already noticed Rhine's Distant Sound when he tried to send a message into the mirror world, let alone Rhine.
Or was Angor trying to trick him?
While Tree Spirit was puzzled, he heard footsteps behind him.
