For the next few days, Angor stayed in the vine house without going anywhere.
He didn't leave, but he asked Toby to go to the Lost Forest once to deliver a message to Lobell and his other pets, telling them to stay in Cyan Forest and wait for his return.
When Toby returned, he also brought a reply from Lobel and the others.
Lobell and the other wind creatures didn't complain at all. Even Cub Bigg was waiting outside. Dankros, on the other hand, kept complaining that he wanted to enter the Lost Forest. Angor didn't care. He just treated it as a naughty brat's whims.
Apart from asking Toby to deliver the message, Angor spent most of his time thinking.
He had been thinking about whether there was any way to bypass the void storm and go to the treasure trove to take a look.
Even if he could only see it from afar, he still didn't know if the treasure location was still there.
If it was still there, he could at least calm down. If the treasure trove had already been destroyed by the Void Storm, he could still leave as soon as possible.
However, he couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried.
Let alone stepping into the void storm, he couldn't even send his spirit power into it.
Time flew by as Angor racked his brain.
Three days later, it was a clear night.
Angor was still sitting in front of the oil painting like a statue. All kinds of thoughts were flying around in his mind. Unconstrained ideas kept circling around in his mind, but no matter how novel and jumpy they were, in the face of the Void Storm that was as steady as a mountain, they were like a gust of wind that was scattered before it could even blow. They were completely ineffective.
Angor rubbed his swollen temples. "Is there really no other way?"
There was no external cause, and there was no inner meaning. The Void Storm was like an endless rift valley lying in front of them that they could never cross.
Angor even began to wonder if the void storm was a fish that escaped the net in the game of fate.
Did Feng not foresee the appearance of the Void Storm?
Angor felt frustrated, helpless, and confused.
"Ugh …" Angor sighed when he failed to solve the puzzle again.
He felt like he had sighed more in the past few days than he did in a whole year.
At this moment, gusts of cold wind blew gently into the house from the cracks in the wall that were woven by vines. The gentle moonlight was also torn apart by the cracks in the vines, scattering mottled light all over the room.
Angor shivered in the cold wind, which cleared his mind a little.
He thought about it for a while. Since he couldn't think of any answer for the time being, he might as well go out and get some fresh air instead of sitting here and sighing helplessly.
With that in mind, Angor stood up, pushed open the creaky vine door, and walked out along the thick vines.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw thousands of clouds under the night sky in the distance. Along with the night wind, the clouds rushed toward him from afar like a rushing tide. In the blink of an eye, the originally clear garden at the top of the vine tower was covered by the appropriate amount of fog. Once again, the beautiful Cloud Garden was formed.
Toby, who was dozing off in Angor's pocket, was also woken up by the sudden cold wind outside. The bird looked at the tide-like clouds and chirped in excitement. It flapped its wings and flew back and forth among the rolling clouds.
The clouds covered the ground, and the sky was filled with stars. While Toby was attracted by the beautiful scenery, Angor leaned against the door and looked at the real tip of the vine tower.
Behind the vine house, there was a slender vine that was three meters taller than the roof. The emerald green vine was now tightly bound by an emerald green snake. If not for the snake's raised head, it would be impossible to tell that there was a snake there just by looking at the color. It was as if they had merged into one.
The green snake was Na Meicui, no doubt.
During the three days Angor stayed in the vine house, Na Meicui came three times as well. Each time, it would come at night and leave in the morning. She did not disturb Angor. Instead, she coiled around the top of the vine tower and looked up at the starry sky.
Just like the first time they met, he looked up at the starry sky.
Angor didn't know why Na Meicui liked to look at the sky so much. Maybe it was just like what the snake said. When looking at the vast sky, one would feel more insignificant and want to get rid of their insignificance. This was what motivated Na Meicui to train day after day.
Angor looked at Na Meicui quietly while thinking about the difference between insignificance and greatness. Meanwhile, the snake looked up at the starry sky.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Angor didn't say goodbye to Na Meicui. When he felt a little better, he planned to return to the vine house and think about other ways to enter the void storm.
Before entering the vine house, Angor glanced at Toby, who was still in the distance.
He was going to ask if Toby wanted to play or come back with him. But what he saw made him frown.
Toby was wearing a pure white lace nightgown, moving through the clouds like a little elf. But at a certain moment, Toby suddenly froze. He looked hesitantly in a certain direction, his eyes flashing with a familiar confusion.
Angor noticed Toby's strange look. He knew Toby like the back of his hand, so he knew something was wrong.
She followed Toby's line of sight, but there was nothing but a cloud of mist.
While Angor was wondering what was going on, a non-existent line of sight quietly fell on him.
"That's … the watcher is here!" Angor quickly realized what was going on.
He had been waiting for the creature hiding in the dark to spy on him for the fourth time, and it had finally come!
Judging from Toby's condition, the watcher must have been looking at Toby first. It didn't look at him until Angor looked away. Otherwise, Angor wouldn't have sensed it at all.
Angor reacted quickly and violently the previous times. But this time, he calmed down a lot and didn't do anything. His eyes were as calm as ever as if nothing was wrong.
However, hidden under the calm surface was a series of hidden sounds.
Since Angor was leaning against the door, he naturally used the vine house as a medium to release a message.
While no one else noticed it, Na Meicui, the creator and owner of the vine tower, sensed it immediately.
Na Meicui didn't do anything too drastic. She simply looked at the same spot where Angor and Toby were looking at.
However, Na Meicui didn't see anything as far as she could see, as if she had returned to her previous experience in the Flower of Nether Float.
The tiny spores in the air didn't tell her anything either.
Since there was no trace of it in reality, there was no doubt that the peeper was looking from that direction, but in reality, its position was in the void corresponding to that direction.
Nai Meicui lowered her head and sent a tiny ripple back to Angor who was leaning on the door through the vine.
Na Meicui was telling Angor that the operation had begun.
Without any hesitation, Angor quickly released the spell he had prepared.
An ancient-looking door of light appeared in front of him.
Angor sensed that the watcher's line of sight on him was slightly disturbed. The watcher must have noticed that Angor's door led to the void.
The watcher quickly looked away from Angor.
However, Angor didn't care about such details. Using Spirit Whisper and the sequence of gravity, he dashed into the door like a bolt of lightning.
Na Meicui, who was coiled on top of the vine tower, also turned into a dashing arrow and followed Angor into the door.
After a brief moment of weightlessness, Angor and Na Meicui both appeared in the dark void.
However, when she stopped, Na Meicui looked around and found that the hidden person had disappeared.
However, the energy ripples in the air were clearly visible. This time, Na Meicui wasn't the only one who sensed it. Even Angor sensed it.
"He was here. But he ran really fast." Na Meicui already extended her senses far away and still couldn't find any trace of the watcher. It was obvious that the watcher had already escaped after noticing the door.
Since Angor planned this beforehand, it only took about one second for the watcher to enter the door and travel through the void.
Not only did the watcher realize what was going on, but he also escaped from Na Meicui's detection range. It was obvious that the watcher was incredibly fast.
Maybe he was even faster than the wind creature called Theuporio that Yzert taught him.
If that was the case, it would be very difficult to catch him.
As Na Meicui sighed in her mind, she noticed that Angor was also frowning. It seemed that he was also disappointed about not being able to catch the watcher.
"Although the other party ran very fast, this time, at least we can know who he is." Nai Meicui tried to comfort Angor. She could sense that the Ethereal Flower was still hiding in the dark. The stalker did not notice the flower's presence. With the Ethereal Flower's record, Nai Meicui would know who the stalker was.
They couldn't catch the watcher yet, but as long as they knew who the watcher was, they could set up a targeted plan. Maybe they could catch the watcher next time.
As Nai Meicui spoke, she arrived at a certain spot in the void. With a gentle wave of her green tail, a glowing Flower of Nether Float slowly emerged from the darkness and rotated slowly in the void.
Instead of going back in time, Na Meicui brought the Ethereal Flower to Angor, who was still in a daze.
Seeing that Angor still didn't react, Na Meicui didn't say anything. She activated the Ethereal Flower, which released light spots that covered both Na Meicui and Angor's vision and brought them back to several seconds ago.
After watching the scene a few seconds ago, Nai Meicui's usually calm eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment.
What did she see?
The answer was: Nothing.
Just like the last time he saw the Flower of Nether Float in the Cloud Garden, when he looked back a few seconds, all he could see was a vast void. There were no signs of anyone spying on him, so it was impossible to find the other party's identity.
If Na Meicui didn't sense the energy traces left in the air, she would have thought that this was just a dream.
Nai Meicui looked at the records of the Flower of Nether Float suspiciously. She looked at it again and again. Na Meicui didn't know how many times she replayed it, but she still didn't see anything.
She couldn't confirm the watcher's identity, but it wasn't completely useless. At least, Na Meicui sensed a weak energy fluctuation somewhere in the void. When the energy fluctuation appeared, it was when Toby was being watched.
However, Na Meicui could feel the energy fluctuations, but there was still nothing there.
"Is the watcher invisible?" With this question in mind, Na Meicui replayed the scene several seconds ago.
After careful analysis, Na Meicui was certain that there was a 90% chance that the person hiding in the dark was invisible.
After confirming that the watcher was invisible, Na Meicui replayed the scene several times, trying to find the watcher's silhouette using different information sources in the void, including the pollen from the Ethereal Flower.
Na Meicui replayed the scene many times, but she still failed. Before Na Meicui tried again, Angor, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. "No need. I know who it is."
Na Meicui was surprised. She was going to ask how Angor knew who the watcher was. But on second thought, the watcher must have been watching Angor for some reason. Maybe Angor already knew who the watcher was, so it wasn't strange for him to find out who the watcher was.
"You know him?" Na Meicui asked after some consideration.
"Not really. I just heard about him. I saw him once by accident."
Na Meicui didn't have much to do with this, but she did try her best to help him find the watcher. Angor didn't plan to hide anything from her and told her what he knew.
"As a matter of fact, I went through the door before you did, sir. I saw a small part of that person's figure when he left."
"You saw his figure? Isn't he invisible? "Na Meicui was puzzled.
"He's invisible, but only in terms of optical feedback," Angor explained. "He has a physical form in a higher level of energy vision."
While speaking, Angor created an illusion in the air. In order to give Nai Meicui a better view, he even made the illusion glow a little bit.
Nai Meicui clearly saw that there was a very strange creature in the illusion.
It looked like a translucent slime, or a snot monster made of some kind of sticky liquid.
Its body looked soft, and when it moved, the slime inside its body would also sway, giving it a bouncy feeling.
"What's that?" This was the first time Na Meicui saw such a strange creature.
Angor explained, "They're very special and rare creatures. Even in the wizarding world, not many people have seen them. They live in the void, and they're called — "
"A Void Traveler."
