Lady's Juice, on top of the nest.
Angor used his Nightmare Domain. He didn't know much about Nightmare Domain yet, so he had to follow Sunders' instructions step by step. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The Nightmare Domain slowly covered the tunnel and began to close up.
At first, Angor tried his best to maintain his Nightmare Domain. But after he tossed in a fist-sized nightmare stone, the tunnel began to close up on its own.
Angor felt much better after the process. He even had time to play with the dragonflies around him.
There were several groups of colorful dragonflies around him, as well as hundreds of colorful dragonflies. They flapped their wings and flew around him. From afar, it looked like a beautiful, dreamy cloud.
The dragonflies didn't question Angor's decision to close the tunnel. Instead, they kept praising the moonlight, the queen, and Shava.
Apart from the dragonflies, the teacup band and toy soldiers also came out from the corners of the Nightmare Domain and began to sing and dance.
Compared to Sunders' dangerous environment, Angor's side was like a fairytale. The atmosphere was joyful and relaxing.
About three minutes later, the tunnel was about to close completely. There was only a small opening left.
"Are you okay, Angor?" Sunders' voice came from behind him.
Angor quickly shushed the teacup band. "I'm fine. There's only a little bit left. It should close soon."
A moment later, he heard someone speaking in a strange voice. "I wish I could meet you sooner, my student Angor. Hehehehe."
Angor's head was filled with question marks. Was that Sunders?
"Professor? What's wrong? "
"I'm fine. It's just … an old friend I haven't seen in a long time. He's the one talking. "
Before Angor could say anything, the voice spoke again. "I wish I could study your soul as soon as possible. Are you willing to die for me? My student, Angor? "
"Don't mind him. Tell me about your situation."
Angor hesitated. If the man was an old friend of his teacher, why did he call him "my student"? Angor considered for a moment and decided to ignore the strange voice. However, he felt that the voice was very similar to the younger version of Sunders. He once met a young version of Sunders in the Nightmare Realm, and he still remembered Sunders' voice. It was just not this frivolous.
"Nothing happened on my side. When I closed the passage, those dragonflies didn't stop me. He's still praising the queen and Shava, "said Angor.
"Good. Pay attention. My channel will close in one minute at most, and we must do it at the same time. The difference can't exceed five seconds. Can you control it?" Sunders asked. "If you can't, I'll help you."
He knew Sunders must be in a worse situation. While they were talking, he could hear all kinds of explosions going off in the distance. Therefore, he did some calculations and nodded. "I can do it. I can control the time."
"Alright then, get ready. We're entering the final stage!"
Angor watched the hole getting smaller and smaller, and he began to feel nervous for some reason.
"10", "9", "8", "7" … Angor counted down in silence. He watched as the human-sized hole was closing up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tens of centimeters of the hole were covered every second.
"3", "2" …
Angor was so nervous that he did not notice a blurry shadow slowly appearing behind him.
When there was only one second left before the hole closed, Angor thought that this was the end.
Suddenly!
A strong gust of wind came from behind!
Before he could react, he screamed out of instinct and was pushed into the tunnel, which was only half a man's height.
"Angor, what's going on over there —" Angor's scream immediately attracted Sunders' attention. Before he could finish, Angor saw the tunnel closed under the control of the nightmare stone.
Once the tunnel closed, Sunders' location disappeared, and the voices in his ears stopped.
Angor's heart was pounding. He reached out his hand as if he wanted to grab something, but the tunnel was closed. His efforts were in vain.
Angor's eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
Why? Why? He was at the last moment, and something happened?
He regretted coming here alone. He regretted his carelessness. He should have told Angor about this earlier, and Angor would not have allowed him to go alone. Angor regretted coming here alone. Angor regretted his decision. He regretted coming here alone.
His regret only lasted for a second.
Given the current situation, there was no room for regret.
He felt his body sinking as if he was sinking into a swamp. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not stop himself from falling.
According to Sunders, this tunnel was actually a plane passageway. But it was much more stable than a plane passageway built on a temporary basis.
He quickly searched his mind for information about "plane passageways".
A plane passageway was an endless space without day, night, direction, or destination. If he kept falling, he would probably fall to the cliff of time and become a pile of bones.
To get out of a plane passageway, he needed a space waymark.
But where could he find one?
Most importantly, most of the people who could travel plane passageways were wizards. They could fly with their own power. Since he could not fly yet, he could only keep falling and falling for eternity.
Was he going to die like this?
Was he going to fall to his death in a plane passageway where he could not find his way?
Before he knew what to do, he realized that he was no longer falling. Instead, he was slowly floating up.
Not only did he lose his sense of direction in the absolute darkness, but he also lost his sense of touch. For a moment, he didn't realize why he had started to float up.
After a long while, he faintly felt that the back of his collar was a little loose, as if someone was grabbing the back of his collar and flying upwards.
"Who is it?" When he spoke, he noticed that his voice was a lot quieter than before.
At the same time, he also found it difficult to breathe. But it was still bearable for now.
If there was thin oxygen here, did that mean there was a passage connecting to the outside world? But even if there was, he did not know how to find it. Was he going to have to rely on his luck?
"Tweet, tweet, tweet."
"Toby?" Angor touched his collar and felt a pair of claws.
Toby was strong enough to drag him up? Angor was puzzled. He remembered that Toby's instantaneous burst of strength was strong, but it was only mediocre when it came to endurance.
But why was Toby able to drag him up?
Could it be that Toby had become stronger? Or was it because the gravity here was very light?
Angor did not have time to think about such things. He quickly asked Toby, "Is it hard for you to carry me? Tweet twice if you can. Tweet once if you can. "
He could not communicate with Toby by gestures in the dark. He had to use the most primitive method.
"Tweet, tweet."
This meant that Toby was not having any trouble carrying him.
Angor felt hopeless when he first fell into the tunnel, but he was not someone who would just sit there and wait for death. He would not give up even if there was only a tiny bit of hope. Besides, Toby was in trouble because of him. Even if it was not for himself, he would not give up for Toby, for Jon and Leon who were far away at the Old Earth.
With Toby's help, the most important thing now was to find a way to leave the plane passageway.
Angor did not know how to solve this problem. He did not have a space waymark. As Sunders said, he could not go to the Nightmare Realm even if he wanted to.
However, he could not let Toby fly blindly in the dark without any direction. It was most likely that Toby would just go around in circles. Angor remembered Jon's Encyclopedia of Amazing Brains when he was young. According to the book, it was difficult to walk in a straight line while blindfolded. Without any sense of sight, one would have to draw a straight line in order to walk in a certain direction. However, there was no external information to support the drawing process, which limited the information. The vestibular tissues, muscles, and joints that transmitted the sense of balance would all deviate slightly.
Such deviations were an equilibrium curve. The final result would be to walk blindly in the dark in a circular motion, which was also the basis of many ancient superstitions, such as "ghost circles".
If he had to walk in circles in the dark, he would not be able to leave the plane passageway.
Therefore, he had to think of a way.
Angor recalled Jon's words about how to avoid "ghost circles".
"Reference objects!" Angor remembered that as long as there was a reference object, he could avoid circular motion as much as possible.
But was there a reference object in a dark plane passageway?
Angor fell silent again. What could he use as a reference object in a plane passageway where there was no direction, no day or night?
Angor considered using himself as a reference object. However, in the space of nothingness, the reference objects he created would only continue to fall. They could not be relatively still, so how could he determine the direction?
Angor remained silent for a long time. He suddenly remembered that he sensed the nightmare aura in the tunnel before he fell into it.
There was nightmare aura in the tunnel. Could he use it as a reference object? Follow the nightmare aura?
He closed his eyes and carefully reached his spirit feelers out of his body. Fortunately, the plane passageway was stable enough to keep him safe.
When Angor opened his eyes again, he was glad. Even his tone sounded happier. "I don't know if we can get out of here. But I sensed the nightmare aura slowly dissipating. Let's go to where the nightmare aura is the strongest! "
"Toby, follow my directions!"
