Not only that, but the void storm was still spreading. It lasted for several hours until it reached a certain limit before it slowly retreated like an ebbing tide.
However, it didn't mean that the void storm was gone. It simply returned to the area where the void storm was located and waited for the next eruption.
"What's going on?" Angor looked at the void storm in the distance. It felt like a breathing creature, and every time it breathed, the void storm would rise and fall.
"I don't know. Not long after Mister Feng left, the void storm appeared. It's expanding at every moment, and the passage in the painting happens to be within the range of the disaster, so if you want to enter here, you have to calculate the time well, "Namicui said.
Angor frowned a little.
From what he had seen just now and what Na Meicui had said in the vine house, he had basically guessed that there was a regular fluctuation in the Nether Storm.
But there was something else that made him even more suspicious.
"Not long after Mister Feng left, the void storm appeared? You're saying that the void storm here has lasted for six hundred years? "
Nai Meicui said, "To be precise, it's been more than four hundred years. About a hundred years after Mister Feng left, the void storm appeared. "
Angor didn't know how to comment on elemental creatures' concept of time. "Not long after Mister Feng left" meant more than a hundred years.
Apart from that, Angor had never heard of such a phenomenon before.
It was true that Nether Storms were a common disaster in the Void, but according to the records he had read, Nether Storms were not a stubborn disaster.
There were many ways to cause a void storm. Sometimes, a random rise or fall of dust could lead to a void storm that lasted for months or years. However, once the internal energy of the Void Storm was exhausted, it would quickly disappear. Although the space in the Void was sometimes unstable, there was still some kind of law. This law had the ability to repair itself. After the space collapsed, it would gradually repair itself under the effect of the law.
In other words, a void storm didn't just consume the energy inside, it also had to fight against some kind of law. Normally, a void storm wouldn't last for long.
Even if there were some dangerous spaces where there were periodic void storms, they wouldn't last forever.
Even the longest Void Storm wouldn't last for years.
However, the Void Storm before his eyes had lasted for over four hundred years.
This was beyond Angor's knowledge.
When he first heard about it, he wondered if it was a man-made disaster. That was because only humans could supply such surging and continuous energy to the Void Storm.
Earlier, Nai Meicui mentioned that a void storm appeared not long after Feng left, and he thought it was Feng's doing. Later, he learned that the void storm only appeared a hundred years after Feng left, which confused him a little.
If it was really Feng's doing, he would not have waited for a hundred years before summoning the Void Storm.
Or did Feng set up a Nether Storm Chain that would last for a hundred years?
He still had a lot of questions about the void storm, but he couldn't find any answers right now. There were no traces left in the void for him to investigate.
Therefore, he could only put it aside for now.
"Since this is the void corresponding to the center of the world, does that mean that the treasure left behind by Mr. Feng is here?" Angor looked around. Apart from the boundless void, he could only sense the Void Storm not far away.
There was no sign of the so-called treasure.
Angor looked at Nai Meicui and saw her glowing golden eyes staring at the shrinking void storm in the distance.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. "The treasure … can't be …"
Nai Meicui spoke slowly, "You're right. The treasure is inside the Void Storm."
Angor didn't know what to say.
Back in the vine house, Angor already felt a little uneasy when he heard about the Void Storm behind the painting.
The more he worried about something, the more likely he would run into it by accident.
Now, his uneasiness had become reality.
"What's going on? Can you tell me more about it? "Angor couldn't help but ask.
Nai Meicui didn't hide anything and told him everything.
To put it simply, the treasure was hidden in the void. Nai Meicui made a promise to Feng, so she never went near the treasure. He only left a Flower of Nether Float in the void to observe if any void creatures entered by mistake and to prevent the treasure from being destroyed.
The void was boundless, and it was difficult to run into a void creature. After so many years, Na Meicui did not discover the appearance of any void creatures. However, the void creatures did not appear, but the void disasters did.
Four hundred years ago, Nai Meicui was still training in isolation when the Flower of Nether Float suddenly reacted. Thinking that a void creature was coming, Nai Meicui hurried into the void.
Then, it saw with its own eyes that the place where the treasure was located was surrounded by a void storm.
The Void Storm was still spreading, so Nai Meicui had no choice but to retreat.
It thought that the Void Storm wouldn't last for long. It wanted to wait for the Void Storm to disappear before going to the treasure trove to see if it was affected. But what it didn't expect was that from that day onwards, the Void Storm had been stationed here and never left.
"Mister Angor, you said the treasure is only surrounded by a void storm, right? So the treasure wasn't destroyed? "
Nai Meicui said, "When the Nether Storm first appeared, it didn't invade the place where the treasure was, but it spread very quickly. I don't know what happened later."
"You can't see the treasure from here?"
Nai Meicui nodded. "The treasure is still far away from here. It's at the center of the Void Storm. Even if the Void Storm shrinks to its limit, we still can't see the treasure. It's hard to say whether the treasure was destroyed or still exists. "
Despite Nai Meicui's explanation, Angor still decided to try walking around the Void Storm. He wanted to see if he could find the treasure. If the treasure was still there, there was still hope. If it was destroyed, he didn't want to waste his time here.
So, he began to walk around the edge of the Void Storm.
When he was done, he was sure that Nai Meicui was telling the truth. He rode on Toby's back and circled around the Void Storm.
Even with Toby's speed, it still took him an entire day to walk around the Void Storm.
This showed just how large the area occupied by the Void Storm was.
It was impossible to observe the situation of the treasure trove from the periphery.
Angor returned to Nai Meicui with a disappointed look.
"Do you know how to get inside the Void Storm?" Angor didn't have much hope, but he still asked.
"What do you think?" Nai Meicui rolled her eyes at Angor.
Even the simplest calamity in the Void was not something that could be easily dealt with. At least, Angor never heard of anyone who could survive a Void Storm.
Since Nai Meicui asked, he didn't think she could do it either.
Now that he didn't know where the treasure was, and he couldn't enter the Void Storm, he was stuck in a deadlock.
"Maybe I can go inside the Void Storm after I break the bottleneck." Nai Meicui spoke up.
Nai Meicui's words surprised Angor a little.
He shifted his attention away from the Void Storm and thought about Feng again.
The current situation seemed to be the worst-case scenario. But if Feng wrote a chapter of fate that included the Abyss Plane, the wizarding world, and the Tidal Realm through the Book of Kael, why didn't he foresee the Void Storm coming?
Angor thought that the Void Storm had nothing to do with Feng because he didn't know that the Void Storm was also inside the Void Storm. Since the treasure was inside the Void Storm, it might have something to do with Feng's plan.
If Feng really did foresee this, and the Void Storm was also part of his plan … In that case, two certainties could be deduced.
The first was that the Void Storm must be fine.
Frost Yzert and Nai Meicui had both said that Feng was very reluctant to leave the treasures behind. These treasures were obviously very precious, and Feng would not set up a trap and let the treasures be destroyed by the void storm. Unless Feng was acting from the moment he left the Void Storm. But that didn't seem to fit Feng's personality. Feng was a bit of a prankster, but he always left some leeway.
The second possibility was that there must be a solution to the Void Storm.
If there was no solution to the Void Storm, there was no need to set up such a big trap.
Then, what was the "solution" to the void storm?
Feng once told Nai Meicui that Angor was the key to her breakthrough. If Nai Meicui was also part of the Void Storm's plan, then what Nai Meicui said might be true.
Nai Meicui was the key.
Once Nai Meicui became a legend, she would be able to enter the Void Storm.
If Nai Meicui's theory was correct, then Angor had to go back to the original problem. How should he help Nai Meicui?
It didn't matter whether the Void Storm was part of Feng's plan or not. At least, Angor was sure that he wouldn't be able to get the treasure for now.
Angor and Nai Meicui waited until the void storm subsided before they returned to the vine house from the designated location.
"What are you going to do next?" Nai Meicui asked.
"Mister Feng wouldn't set up an unsolvable trap. If the Void Storm is also part of his plan, there should be a solution. I want to stay here for a while. Can you let me? "
"Of course." Nai Meicui nodded.
Nai Meicui had already made up her mind. Since Angor was the key to her breakthrough, she might as well observe for now. Nai Meicui still didn't want to give up. She still needed to rely on herself. Angor might be the key, but Nai Meicui couldn't help her.
With that, Nai Meicui left. Nai Meicui left a blue Twilight Flower outside the Vine House. If Angor wanted to talk to it, he could use the flower to contact it.
After Nai Meicui left, Angor stared at the portrait in silence and fell into deep thought.
…
Outside the Lost Forest.
Inside the dark forest, Yegroot, Lorber, and Soren were discussing something in low voices. Qiu Big flew to the top of a large tree and hid among the leaves. It seemed he was taking a nap.
Dankros was the only one who stood in front of the Lost Forest and kept looking inside.
"Mister Padt has been in there for two days. Will he be okay?"
Just as Dankros was thinking about this, Maoyegroot suddenly appeared behind him.
"You still don't want to admit that you're worried?" Yegroot smiled.
Dankros lost his temper as usual. "I've said it many times. I'm worried about Mister Toby!"
Yegroot gave Dankros a meaningful glance. "I didn't say you were worried about Mister Padt. Why are you overreacting?"
Dankros didn't know what to say. He humphed and moved his hand away. "I don't want to talk to you."
After a moment of silence, Dankros saw that Yegroot was still there. He couldn't help but ask, "Is everything okay inside? Does Mister Nai Meicui hate aliens? "
Yegroot chuckled. "I don't know what's going on inside. But I don't think Mister Nai Meicui hates aliens. At least she doesn't have any prejudice against humans. "
When Dankros heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, as it breathed a sigh of relief, it noticed that Yegroot was looking at it. It quickly muttered to itself, "Then Sir Toby should be fine."
When Maoyegroot heard Dankros's words, he smiled and did not say anything.
At this time, Qiu Bigg suddenly said, "The fog in the depths of the Lost Forest seems to have dissipated."
As soon as Qiu Bigg said that, all the elemental creatures looked into the distance.
Qiu Bigg, Lobel, and Veling were all wind elemental creatures. They could fly in the sky and observe. Yegroot was also tall and could see very far. Only Dankros' small hand couldn't see anything.
When Dankros was anxious, Yegroot extended a branch to him and signaled him to climb up.
Dankros hesitated for a moment, but he still climbed onto Yegroot and looked into the distance.
Qiu Bigg wasn't talking nonsense. The fog in the depths of the Lost Forest had indeed become thinner.
As the fog faded, a towering vine slowly appeared in their field of vision.
"Lord Yegroot, what's with that vine? Why is it so high? It seems to have pierced into the clouds! "Dankros exclaimed.
However, before Maoyegrote could reply, a cold and indifferent voice sounded out from the Lost Forest.
"That's a vine tower."
The moment the voice sounded, Yegroot was stunned. This voice … is so familiar …
Maoyegrote turned around with a stutter, looking into the depths of the Lost Forest.
In the mist, a green snake revealed its graceful figure amidst the blooming flowers.
