Although it was called running, it was completely different from running in the real world.
Rather than saying that it was running, it was more like a special movement technique. Using this technique, Angor did not even feel the liquid inside Woof's stomach moving.
The reason why he felt like he was "flying" was because the strange space around him was retreating at a crazy speed.
Angor was inside Woof Woof's stomach, but he could still see the outside world.
There were grotesque scenes everywhere, like auroras flying, like the separation of clear and turbid, as well as black and white butterflies intertwining and merging in groups. These scenes were receding as Woof Woof moved quickly. When they turned into fleeting shadows, the surrounding scenery became a blurry and colorful scene.
Angor could not see anything clearly. The only thing he could see was the colorful mist and the contrast between bright and cold.
Woof Woof was still moving faster. It seemed the creature was afraid of the colorful sceneries around it. It kept moving toward its destination without uttering a word.
Angor was lost in his thoughts.
Judging from the current situation, Woof Woof should have already begun to move towards the treasure trove.
According to Woof Woof, Angor should not be able to think and sense anything. But that was not the case. Apart from his emotion module being slightly suppressed, Angor was not affected at all.
Woof Woof knew more about this place than Angor did, so it would not do something without a reason. Normally speaking, Angor would follow Woof Woof's plan.
However, the current situation was obviously abnormal. Where did this abnormality come from?
Angor's instinct told him that it had something to do with the Alien Eye.
Maybe it was because he was brought to the strange world by the Alien Eye and stayed there for a long time that he developed a certain immunity to the current situation. That was why Woof Woof did not happen.
But was this really the strange world the Alien Eye took him to?
Kind of, but not exactly.
Back then, Angor was also "ascending". During the process, something happened to his emotion module. But the difference was that the emotional module back then had been completely stripped away. Now, although his emotional module was suppressed, it didn't disappear.
However, he didn't think that the strange world the Alien Eye took him to was completely different from the one he was currently in.
He was more inclined to believe that they were in the same strange world, except that Angor went deeper into it last time. Or rather, the place Angor went to last time was the complete version of the higher dimension, while the space Wang Wang brought him to was in between the two worlds, a gap between the real world and the higher dimension.
This was the only way to explain why his emotional module was only suppressed and not deprived.
— Because it was not deep enough.
On the other hand, Woof Woof did not know that Angor was thinking about the truth of this place. It was still running away.
Its movement path avoided the anomalies around it, including the bizarre scenery and the colorful mist around it. That was because it knew how terrifying these seemingly harmless anomalies were.
When it first entered this strange world, its natural instincts told it not to come into contact with these strange phenomena.
At first, the young and ignorant Wang Wang was following his own intuition. Later on, because he was too curious, he touched a white butterfly that did not make him feel threatened.
As a result … the white butterfly entered Woof Woof's body and quickly flapped its wings, destroying everything inside Woof Woof's body.
It was like a destructive virus that could kill anyone who came into contact with it.
Luckily for Woof Woof, the moment the white butterfly entered its body, half of its body was cut off. The half of his body that had the white butterfly was destroyed in a short period of time, while the other half of his body survived.
And this was only the least threatening anomaly to Woof Woof.
If the white butterfly could cause such damage, what about the other anomalies? Woof Woof did not dare to think about it, and it would not try again.
Luckily, when traveling in this strange world, as long as there was a certain direction or coordinate, there would be a path for Woof Woof Woof. And on this path, there would basically not be any anomalies.
This was why Woof Woof was able to move freely in this place.
Of course, this path was not completely safe. There would be some minor problems from time to time, but that was the consequence of not obeying the rules. As long as Woof Woof followed the rules, nothing would happen.
Of course, Woof Woof followed the rules very well. However, even though Woof Woof Woof followed the rules, something unexpected still happened.
While Woof Woof was "running" without any distracting thoughts, a small patch of red mist suddenly appeared in the empty path ahead.
Woof Woof Woof was startled by the red mist. Luckily, Woof Woof Woof had learned to be cautious in this strange world and reacted quickly. Woof Woof Woof Woof quickly moved upward, down, and away from the red mist.
However, before Woof Woof Woof could feel any fear or relief, something else happened.
Numerous spikes pierced in from both sides of the passageway, forming a horizontal forest of thorns.
These spikes contained a terrifying aura. Woof Woof knew that if he touched one of these spikes, he would suffer a fate worse than the white butterfly.
There was no way back now. The path they used to come here was blocked by the anomalies. They could not go back either. Judging from the distance, they were still inside the void storm, which would turn both Angor and Woof Woof into dust.
The only way out now was to rely on his body movement and positioning to avoid this thorny forest.
The road behind them had begun to collapse. Wang Wang dared not hesitate and rushed into the thorny forest. Its movements were very agile, and it barely managed to find a path that could accommodate its body amidst the various spikes.
In Angor's eyes, Woof looked like a thief who was trying to steal a treasure from a museum. Woof was running around the hall and dodging the red ropes tied with bells.
Wang Wang's performance was also very good. It did not touch any of the red strings, nor did it wake up the bell.
However, according to the story, there had to be ups and downs in the plot. Even if the thief avoided the red rope formation and arrived in front of the treasure, it was very likely that he would trigger some traps, and these traps were often fatal. Even if there were no traps, it was still possible for him to fall from the sky and meet other gatekeepers.
Woof had already made it out of the thorny forest. As Woof let out a long sigh of relief, he noticed something strange happening not far ahead. This time, it was even more terrifying.
Above the path, a huge shadow appeared. The shadow stretched for an unknown length, and it was slowly descending.
Woof Woof did not need to calculate the speed of the shadow to know that it would not make it out of the tunnel before it reached the ground.
Besides, no one knew how long the shadow was. It might cover the entire tunnel behind them.
The shadow was in front of them, and the path behind them was collapsing.
Woof Woof was trapped in the middle of the path.
It did not expect to encounter so many obstacles during this trip. Judging from the current situation, Woof Woof Woof had no way to escape.
There was no escape, no retreat, and no way to move forward.
What the hell is going on? For the first time, Woof Woof felt hopeless.
Perhaps it was because of the suppression of emotions in this strange world, Woof Woof's mind did not last long. Woof Woof Woof suddenly thought of something.
Woof Woof Woof Woof suddenly pulled its soft body into a "wriggling" position so that its eyes were on its stomach.
Through this position, Woof Woof Woof saw the person inside.
And the person inside was looking at Woof Woof Woof Woof with blinking eyes.
Blinking?! Woof quickly regained his senses and sent a message to Angor. Fortunately, Angor was inside the creature's body. The creature's body fluid could be used as a medium to transmit information to Angor.
"Why are you awake?"
Before he could answer, Woof Woof sent him a second message, which sounded urgent in his mind, "Don't worry about anything else. Are you thinking too much? If that's the case, stop immediately and stop thinking. Otherwise, we'll all die! "
Because if he didn't run, the phenomenon behind him would catch up.
As soon as it entered the shadowy area, Wang Wang felt an unprecedented pressure.
Although the shadow had not completely descended, the threat of death from the sword hanging above its head had already taken root in its consciousness.
Woof didn't know if the shadow had anything to do with Angor, but it could only hope for now. "Don't think about anything. Don't think about anything." Woof sent a message to Angor while clearing his mind.
What Woof Woof did not know was that its demonic nagging could sometimes become an anchor for "new thinking".
Of course, this only applied to mortals.
Even a wizard like Angor could ignore all distracting thoughts and enter meditation at any time, so he would not be affected by Woof Woof's demonic nagging.
Angor did not know why Woof Woof suddenly told him not to think about anything. However, since Woof Woof was in such a hurry and mentioned "possible death", Angor did not dare to think about anything else.
He quickly reined in his thoughts and dismissed all the thoughts of the "museum thief" from his mind. His mind instantly became empty.
By now, the shadow outside had dropped by half, and the tunnel was only one-third of its original height.
Woof Woof was already running close to another phenomenon. Even so, it still could not see the end of the shadow.
Maybe the shadow really did cover the entire path ahead.
When Woof Woof thought it was going to die today, the shadow suddenly stopped descending.
Through its special vision, Woof Woof saw Angor closing his eyes and realized that Angor had stopped thinking.
Woof Woof did not dare to distract himself or disturb Angor. The only thing it could do was to run as fast as it could to get away from the shadow and reach the end of the tunnel as soon as possible.
Woof Woof ran for a long time. According to its concept of time, the length of the tunnel had been extended by countless kilometers.
Finally, Woof Woof reached the familiar coordinates.
The outside world here was no longer the Void Storm, but the inner ring of the Void Storm. This was where Angor wanted to go.
Without hesitation, Woof Woof left this strange world.
Before leaving, Woof Woof looked up and saw the shadow still there. It did not know how long it stretched.
In other words, Woof Woof's guess was right. The shadow had been going through the entire tunnel. Luckily, Angor stopped thinking about it in time.
Sinking … sinking …
This "sinking" was the same as the "rising". Rising was a special kind of sublimation, while sinking was more like the descent of a god.
Angor's suppressed emotional modules quickly recovered until they returned to normal.
At the same time, Angor felt the liquid around him slowly receding, until he could once again sense the existence of the void.
Angor opened his eyes. The first thing he sensed was pressure coming from afar.
However, the pressure was not as strong as when Woof Woof was staring at him.
"We're here?" Angor hesitated.
Woof Woof was still staring at him without saying anything. But judging from the surrounding environment and the space storm not far away, Angor was sure that they had left the strange world and returned to the void.
"What's that?" Angor hesitated. "Thinking … Will it lead to any serious consequences?"
Woof Woof, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. "Let's travel through the void. I told you not to think about anything. When we're there, just thinking about it will trigger the strange phenomena around us. As long as we come into contact with a phenomenon, even if it's the least threatening one, it's enough to annihilate us completely. "
"That shadow is a strange phenomenon?"
"Not just that. The red mist and the spikes we saw earlier were all strange phenomena." Woof Woof Woof quickly added, "They never happened before."
In other words, all the strange phenomena were caused by Angor's "thinking".
Angor finally understood why Woof Woof urged him to close his mind and think. It was because of the terrible consequences.
Thinking about the endless shadows, Angor couldn't help but feel relieved.
Angor took a deep breath and sincerely apologized to Woof Woof.
Woof Woof did not blame Angor. He knew that he was responsible for not telling Angor the consequences. Besides, the result was satisfactory, so Woof Woof Woof did not mind.
Instead, Woof Woof was more curious about something.
"Why are you not affected?"
