Geng Gui's ambush came faster than expected.
Angor was planning to keep moving forward so that Geng Gui could ambush them at any time. However, Geng Gui's ambush came while they were still talking.
Without any warning, a hole opened up in the ground.
Vay and Kael, who were at the top of the cave, fell into the cave without any resistance.
Angor and Dorcas quickly realized what was going on. Angor tried to grab Kael, while Dorcas tried to pull Wai and Kael out of the hole.
However, they failed.
The hole in the ground did not close up. It was still open, and no one could tell that it had just swallowed two people.
Both Angor and Dorcas looked at each other and did the same thing — they looked down at their hands.
They were sure that they were holding Wai and Kael, but for some reason, their hands suddenly lost their strength.
It felt like they were suffering from anemia after losing too much blood. Even if they clenched their fists, they could not exert any strength.
It was because of this that even though they managed to capture Wade and Kael, they couldn't pull them back.
But strangely, after Wai and Kael fell into the hole, they seemed to have regained their strength.
Dorcas spread his hands and clenched his fists to make sure everything was fine. Then he looked at the hole in the ground that was still there.
"It's not because of this hole, is it?" Dorcas turned to Angor and said, "Try to use your energy to hold me back. I'll go check it out."
Without hesitation, Angor created several phantom limbs from his palm and tied them around Dorcas' waist.
After making sure that the limbs were secure, Dorcas slowly approached the hole, took a deep breath, and carefully reached his hand out.
However, before Dorcas could make a preliminary probe, the hole in the ground suddenly expanded without any warning.
The expanded range was just enough to surround Dorcas' position.
As for Dorcas, he hadn't sensed any abnormal fluctuations at all. When he realized that his feet were already in the air, his entire body began to fall.
He tried to use his spirit power, but it did not work.
He tried to use mana to keep himself in the air, but it did not work.
Dorcas even wanted to activate his bloodline to forcefully break through the shackles, but he could feel that the bloodline in his body couldn't be activated no matter what. It was as if his bloodline had gone into hibernation.
Since none of his abilities worked, Dorcas could only rely on the phantom limbs tied around his waist.
However, the limbs did not seem to exist at all. They followed Dorcas and fell without any resistance.
Dorcas could only watch as he fell further and further away from the hole. In the end, he completely fell into the "abyss".
When Dorcas fell, the Dark Earl looked at Angor with his "nostrils" and asked, "Did your abilities get nullified?"
Angor considered and shook his head. "I can feel that the limbs are not damaged. But just like my hands, once they are above the hole, they will lose all strength."
Angor's words reminded the Earl of the Wise Overseer's description.
The Netherworld Slave's swallowing ability was very special. It ignored all defenses, and as long as you were within its range, it would be useless no matter how strong you were.
And now, One-eyed Dabao was able to mimic the Underworld Slave's ability and achieve a similar effect.
Even Bloodline Magi, who were known as the most powerful Magi of the same rank, had no way of retaliating above the hole.
It was a special and powerful ability. But what worried them more was that the hole was expanding without making any sound. No energy was escaping.
Geng Gui was obviously going easy on them because the hole was never closed.
If the hole was closed and opened up under their feet, they would not even have time to react, let alone fight back.
Previously, he had only heard the Wise Ruler say that Hidden Slave's cave was so powerful that even he didn't dare to step into it. At that time, he didn't really feel it. Now, Hidden Slave's child, Geng Gui, had only imitated Hidden Slave's cave, and they were almost completely wiped out.
They finally understood why the Wise Overseer kept telling them to be careful.
However, with such a degree of silence, would it be useful to just be cautious?
The Dark Earl looked at the hole on the ground and spoke in a low voice, "I'll try it this time. You keep an eye on the stone slab."
With that, the Dark Earl removed his nose from the stone slab, which slowly floated to Angor's hand.
Angor did not know what the Dark Earl was trying to do, so he looked at the stone slab in confusion. When he looked closer, he saw energy patterns of various sizes appearing on the stone slab.
He looked up at the Dark Earl.
"I'm not familiar with magic arrays, but I'm displaying the energy patterns in the ground in real time on the stone slab. It's called 'Terra Record', which is supported by the power of the earth. It won't disappear just because I'm in trouble.
"Keep an eye on the stone slab at all times. It's best if you combine it with the magic arrays around you. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work. We'll think of something else. "
Perhaps it was because this was related to the ruins, the Dark Earl was much more involved in exploring the ruins than before.
The Dark Earl came up with this idea after careful consideration. He could use this method to determine the energy flow of the magic array so that he could find a way to break out of the tunnel.
To do this, someone had to touch the hole first. Since the others had already fallen into the hole, the Dark Earl decided to do it himself.
"Please wait, mister," Angor quickly called out when the Dark Earl was about to enter the hole.
Without explaining anything, Angor took the stone slab and compared it with the magic arrays around him. Next, he took out a formation plate and placed it on one of the energy nodes.
The energy patterns on the stone slab immediately changed.
Angor pondered for a moment before he took out an engraving pen and began to draw several guiding runes on the stone slab.
He used an external formation plate to guide the runes so that he could observe the changes in the magic array better. At the same time, he wanted to do an experiment.
"It's done." Angor spoke to the Dark Earl.
The Dark Earl didn't know what Angor did, but he trusted Angor's judgment. The Black Earl didn't ask any more questions. He immediately covered himself with a Great Earth Force Field and leaped into the air above the cave.
The gravity field set up by the Dark Earl was mainly used to strengthen the traction force.
Since the hole was going to drag people down, the gravity field would pull them back to the surface.
The Dark Earl's gravity field must be much stronger than ordinary earth wizards. It was definitely at the level of a truth-finder.
Without Elmi's help, Angor would still be suppressed by the gravity field.
However, when the Dark Earl arrived above the hole, the gravity field did nothing to stop Angor.
Even someone as strong as the Dark Earl fell from the sky.
Angor quickly picked up the stone slab and began to observe the energy patterns around him.
He frowned as he read the note. The energy of the forcefield was fluctuating greatly. However, when the Dark Earl, the core of the forcefield, came to the entrance of the cave, the energy network of the forcefield suddenly disappeared.
It was the patterns that disappeared, not the energy.
The energy was still there, but without the patterns, it would fall down like a derailed skybus.
Angor frowned when he saw the strange ability of the cave.
Without the protection of the Earthen Force Field, the Dark Earl fell into the hole without any surprise.
Angor sat on the ground with his legs crossed and carefully observed the energy patterns on the stone slab. From time to time, he would stand up and walk to the external array board to start carving again.
Time passed by slowly.
About three minutes later, Angor stood up and jumped into the hole without hesitation.
His vision went dark, and he felt weightless for two seconds. When he regained his footing, he was inside Geng Gui's body again.
…
The place was still dark. However, unlike when Angor and Kael were here, this place was much more lively.
Or rather, wherever Dorcas was, there would always be a lot of noise.
"Geng Gui, look at this place. It's all dark. Haven't you thought about dressing up? Put up a wall lamp, a dark red bookshelf, a fireplace, a carpet, and a soft sofa. You can rest and read by the fire. Don't you think it's nice? "
Genggui didn't say anything, but wherever Dorcas spoke, Wa Yi's voice couldn't be absent.
"There's not even a window to let in the air. Fireplace? Do you want to suffocate us? "
"Geng Gui is an energy creature. He won't die from suffocation."
"If he's an energy creature, the hole outside is nothing. He has a body in the material world."
Both Dorcas and Wai looked at Geng Gui at the same time, implying that Geng Gui should be the judge.
However, Geng Gui was not stupid. It was very clear that the two people in front of it were singing the same tune. They seemed to be arguing with each other, but they were just trying to test it.
Geng Gui didn't say anything. He simply floated in the air and waited for the last person to arrive.
It didn't take long for Geng Gui to sense Angor's presence.
Geng Gui was waiting for Angor, but he still felt a little disappointed when he sensed Angor's arrival. If Angor also fell into the hole, it meant that all of them were dead.
If they couldn't solve the problem, they would have to destroy it. And the last thing Geng Gui wanted to see was destruction.
Geng Gui believed in his mother's strength, but according to the Wise Overseer, these people weren't nobodies. If Geng Gui used all of his trump cards, his mother would be seriously injured.
Geng Gui didn't want to see his mother get hurt.
He was already considering whether he should tell them about his mother's ability so that they could analyze it. Or maybe he should just banish them to the Mirror Realm and let them stay in the Mirror Sea forever.
While Geng Gui was pondering, everyone saw Angor's arrival.
Dorcas subconsciously wanted to tease Geng Gui, but before he could say anything, Geng Gui asked, "You failed?"
Angor crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Well, we're all captured, so it's a failure. But we're not completely clueless. "
Geng Gui's eyes lit up. "Oh? You already have a plan? "
Angor chuckled but didn't answer. Instead, he looked in another direction.
There was no one in the direction he was looking. It was just an empty wall. However, Angor was still looking at the empty wall. "You're Erbao, right? Do you want to meet me? "
"Erbao?" Everyone was surprised. "It's here too?"
They all looked in the direction Angor was pointing at, but they didn't see anything. Even the Black Earl did not discover anything when he used his energy perspective to look.
Was Angor bluffing?
But if that was the case, why was he pointing in the same direction?
Angor never looked away, which meant he really believed there was something in this direction that no one could see … Erbao.
Since they couldn't tell if Angor was telling the truth, everyone looked at Geng Gui, who was still floating in the air.
Geng Gui didn't say anything, nor did he show any expression. Geng Gui was talking to Angor just a second ago, but now, he suddenly went silent. Something was wrong about this.
After several seconds of silence, a voice even deeper than Geng Gui's came from the dark space.
"You're sharp. I don't care how you found me, but I'm curious why you pointed me out. "
As the voice spoke, a black sphere appeared in front of the empty wall.
Angor almost blurted out, "A new Ghostface!"
But he thought about Geng Gui's description of Erbao and held back.
However, from the first sentence of Erbao's appearance, it could be seen that he was completely different from his elder brother.
Angor pointed it out to show that he found Erbao, which was a way to take advantage of the situation. If Erbao asked how Angor found it, Angor would have the right to speak.
However, Er Bao's question completely ignored Angor's sense of superiority. Instead, Er Bao seized the right to speak.
Angor looked at Er Bao's eyes and sighed in his mind. The Wise Lord was right. Er Bao was the most important person in the One-Eye Clan. Er Bao's temperament was unfathomable.
"You should at least ask about a stranger who suddenly showed up in a room where we already know everyone, right?"
"You said my name," said Erbao.
Does that mean you know who I am? So I'm an "unknown stranger"?
Angor smiled. "Just like when I saw Geng Gui for the first time, I knew who he was. Similarly, I'm guessing the same for you. "
"Oh right, Geng Gui is One-Eye Dabao. I named him. Do you want me to name you as well? "
Erbao remained silent for a moment. "No need. My name is … very good."
Angor didn't show it on his face, but he was laughing in his mind. He knew the three treasures of the One-Eye Clan didn't like his name. But since Netherworld Slave agreed to it, they had no choice but to accept it.
Because of this, Angor decided to mention it on purpose.
As expected, Erbao couldn't control his tone when he said his name was "very good".
"Is that so? I think Erbao is a good name too." Angor smiled. "Did Erbao suddenly come here because of the interception mission given by 'that person'?"
When Erbao lost his mind because of being called "Erbao", Angor took back the right to speak.
Erbao, on the other hand, no longer cared about the right to speak. He only hoped that Angor would quickly change the topic.
