Angor suddenly frowned when they were about to reach the Astral Pond Ruin.
Sunders was looking at the sky above the ruin. "Such a strong nightmare aura. It's twice as strong as before. Is it because Mister Rein opened the tunnel? "
Sunders glanced at Angor from the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong?" Sunders asked when he noticed Angor's strange expression.
Angor shook his head and rubbed his temples. "It's nothing. Just … a little noisy."
"Noisy?" Tree Spirit joined them. "What noise?"
Angor looked at the ruin in the distance. "There's a very chaotic flow of emotions coming out of it. It's too noisy. It's like a hundred, no, a thousand ducks are chattering in my ears. "
Before Tree Spirit could understand what Angor meant, he heard someone speaking in a low voice.
Both Sunders and Angor heard it.
"Life threads are erupting. Be careful when you come over."
Without a doubt, it was Mister Rein who spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black cloud suddenly gushed out from the Star Pool Ruins nearby. As soon as the black cloud rose into the air, it immediately split apart and quickly merged with the night sky, disappearing from sight.
This was only a scene that could be seen with the naked eye, but with the eyesight of everyone present, they could clearly sense that the black clouds were actually made up of a large number of living threads. The so-called 'fragmentation and dilution' was actually the spreading of the living threads in all directions.
The darkness of the night was the best protection for the life threads. They looked like they were melting into the darkness, but they were actually using the darkness to hide their ferocious fangs.
"The life threads are erupting today?" Sunders asked Tree Spirit as they watched the life threads disappearing into the darkness.
"Sort of. Life threads have a fixed cycle. We think it's the gestation period of the life threads. Once the time comes, they'll erupt.
"We don't know exactly when the gestation period will be. But judging from what we've seen so far, it could erupt within the next few days. I didn't think we'd run into it on our way here." Tree Spirit also felt a headache. What would happen to the ruin passage if the life threads erupted again?
"The emotions you sensed were from a living thread, right?" Tree Spirit looked at Angor and asked, "So the emotions you sensed were from a living thread?"
Angor shook his head. "They're the same as the ones in the hospital. I can't sense them."
"If they're not from the life threads, then they must be old emotions coming out of the ruin when the passage is opened." Sunders paused and looked at Angor again. "Can you tell the general information from the emotions?"
He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Too messy. Even messier than last time. I don't have a clue at all.
Sunders nodded and did not ask any more questions. However, his eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
According to Angor's words, the tunnel was filled with chaotic emotions. Did this mean a large number of nightmare creatures showed up in the tunnel during the past few days?
Rein's previous experience in the ruin already proved this fact. Still, Sunders was more concerned about the sudden appearance of a large number of monsters in the last few days.
Previously, according to His Excellency Rhine, there weren't many demonic creatures in the ruins' passageway. However, there were changes after that day.
Was it because of Angor?
Sunders did not dare to make a conclusion, but the whole thing seemed too coincidental to him.
"Let's go check it out first." Sunders did not tell Sunders what he was thinking.
"Be careful of the lifeline," Tree Spirit reminded them when he saw them moving again. To Tree Spirit's surprise, they did not encounter any life threads on their way to the Astral Pool Ruin.
There were so many of them that they could form dark clouds. If they spread out, they would not be able to avoid them no matter where they went. But they did not encounter any life threads at all. It was as if the life threads were purposely avoiding them.
"Maybe Sunders did something?" Tree Spirit could not figure it out. In the end, he concluded that Sunders was the one who opened the way for them. Besides, Sunders was the one who suppressed the infection of the life threads in the end. Maybe Sunders really did have a way to deal with the life threads.
Tree Spirit shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
…
When they arrived at the Astral Pool Ruin, Rein came to them and said, "The life threads came at a bad time. Something might happen in the passage. Maybe we can change the time and try again next time?"
To Rein, Angor's safety was more important than exploring the ruin. That was why Rein suggested changing the time.
Sunders opened his mouth to say something, but he did not say anything since Rein was the one asking for Angor's opinion. It was better to let Angor decide on his own.
Angor frowned and did not speak for a long time. Rein thought Angor was thinking about his decision, so he did not urge him.
However, when Angor still did not say anything, Sunders noticed that Angor's eyes were a little empty. It did not look like Angor was thinking about something.
Sunders frowned and gave Angor a gentle nudge.
Angor shivered and regained the light in his eyes.
"Mister Rein is still waiting for your decision," Sunders spoke in a low voice. "Do you want to continue today or another day?"
"Let's do it today." Angor did not hesitate.
Rein gave Angor a thoughtful look and nodded. "Very well."
While following Rein to the center of the ruin, Sunders asked Angor, "Did you sense something just now?"
Angor nodded. "It's the same feeling. I saw the door."
Angor hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I already sensed it last time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. The reason why I was stunned was because I sensed some clearly connected emotions after I fell into the Star Pool. "
"Can you find out the meaning of emotions?" asked Sunders.
Angor nodded seriously. "They're saying … praise the moonlight, praise the queen, and praise —"
"Shava?" Sunders added.
Angor nodded.
"So they know you're here." Sunders' eyes glinted. The nightmare creatures must have sensed Angor's arrival the other day.
Perhaps this was also the reason why a large number of monsters suddenly appeared in the passage these days.
