Angor saw a flash of light.
In this land of eternal darkness, the sudden appearance of light was a strange thing no matter how one looked at it. Angor didn't blindly believe that it was an exit. Instead, he believed that it was a sign of some unknown danger.
He just read up on planar passageways not long ago, so he knew that planar passageways weren't as empty as he thought. In the Land of Eternal Darkness, there were some strange creatures, such as the Void Weed.
Or some strange beasts.
The chances of finding a strange creature in a plane passageway were as low as looking for a grain of sand in an ocean. However, there were still strange creatures, such as monsters, phantoms, or even wild beasts.
Some of them accidentally entered the plane passageway, while others were native to the plane passageway.
No matter what kind of creature it was, it was a great threat to Angor.
Any creature that could survive in a plane passageway must have its own way of survival. He once read about a glowing monster called Bacabrado in one of the books.
According to the book, Bacabrado was a gentle monster that lived in a plane passageway with a glowing lantern on its head. It relied on the lantern to attract the Hollow Weed, which was attracted to light, as food.
However, this book about Bacabrado was written by an official Magus and was meant for the official Magi community. The so-called "gentle" creature was something Angor couldn't handle.
Bacabrado might look like a herbivore, but that was not the case. It only ate Void Algae because there was no meat in the plane passageway for it to eat.
Bacabrado was a guide for wizards to find Hollow Weed. As long as Angor followed Bacabrado, he would surely find some.
But Angor didn't dare to follow Bacabrado.
He wasn't sure if the light was coming from Bacabrado or an exit.
Either way, it didn't matter. Angor wasn't sure how long he could last in the Land of Eternal Darkness. A glimmer of hope was better than total despair.
After a moment of silence, Angor spoke to Toby, "Follow that light, Toby. Also, be prepared. If it's not an exit but a monster, run away immediately. Don't worry about me. "
Toby didn't say anything for a long time.
The light was far away from Angor, but it acted as a "lighthouse", which allowed them to fly for more than ten minutes without getting lost.
They were getting closer and closer to the light source.
Angor realized that he was wrong. The light wasn't an exit, but it didn't seem to be a Bacabrado either.
According to the book, a Bacabrado's light was pure and bright, which could illuminate a distance of dozens of kilometers.
However, the light he saw was not pure. Instead, it was colorful like a flowing ribbon, which looked like a dreamy galaxy in the dark.
Toby stopped moving.
"Not the exit. They're moving," Angor said with a bitter smile. "And they're coming toward us."
It wasn't a Bacabrado. It was much more dangerous. At least the Bacabrado was considered "gentle". According to the books, the other monsters in the plane passageway all had bad tempers. Some of them were so dangerous that even wizards had to avoid them.
"Toby, put me down and run!"
Toby didn't care. He kept dragging Angor's hand and kept running.
Angor tried to break free from Toby's grip, but Toby's claws were stronger than he thought.
"Run! Don't worry about me!" Angor looked back and saw the "rainbow" moving faster and faster. If Toby kept dragging him, he wouldn't be able to outrun it.
Angor didn't care. He had to run as fast as he could. He decided to use an illusion to interfere with Toby's senses.
But before he could do that, he heard someone praising him from afar.
"Praise the moonlight!" "Praise the queen!" "Praise Shava!"
Hearing the familiar emotion, Angor was surprised. "Don't run! We … we're saved!"
…
Without a doubt, this was a journey of darkness.
However, it was only the first half of the journey that was dark. The second half of the journey was much more pleasant.
Angor sat cross-legged on a flying carpet embroidered with colorful lights. Toby was rubbing his cheeks while praising him from time to time. Anyone who received such treatment in the darkness would feel comfortable and relaxed, wouldn't they?
Half an hour ago.
Angor already knew what the "rainbow" was when he heard the "praise". It was a swarm of rainbow dragonflies.
And they must be from the Nightmare Realm. How else would they know about "Shava"?
He was sure that this wasn't the swarm from Lady's Juice. There were at least several thousand of them here. At that time, there were no more than a hundred rainbow dragonflies in the entire Twilight Well.
If they weren't from Lady's Juice, then what were they doing in the plane passageway?
Angor didn't know. But he didn't need to know. There must be a way for them to survive in the plane passageway. Besides, Angor believed that the dragonflies had the coordinates of the Nightmare Realm. Otherwise, why would they fly in the plane passageway?
Thus, he began to negotiate with the rainbow dragonflies. He hoped that they would take him out of the plane passageway.
But the dragonflies were really stupid. They didn't know how to express anything other than praise and doubt. Angor considered for a moment and decided to express his "let me go with you" emotion.
The rainbow-colored dragonfly understood this emotion.
That was how they came to be. The thousands of rainbow dragonflies gathered together and carried Angor forward like a colorful carpet.
With the help of the rainbow-colored dragonflies, Toby was finally free and could have a good rest.
Angor didn't know where the dragonflies were going.
But it didn't matter if they were going to the Nightmare Realm or somewhere else. The dragonflies must have a destination in mind. Otherwise, they wouldn't be working together.
Angor wasn't picky. As long as he could get out of this plane passageway, he would go even if it meant going to the Nightmare Realm.
The journey this time was very long.
Angor kept an eye on his pocket watch. He didn't know if the plane passageway was the same as the one in the wizarding world, but it had been two and a half days since he entered the plane passageway.
It was the third day of the Month of Harvest.
During this time, Toby took a nap. Angor also took a nap.
Although he felt much better now, another problem struck him: hunger.
Angor put all his belongings in his bracelet except for food. It wasn't a problem though. He decided to eat some of Toby's dried fish.
Toby's "Snowy Feather" was filled with his favorite dried fish, as well as all kinds of strange clothes.
Under Toby's disdainful gaze, Angor pretended to eat the salty and fishy fish. He even smiled at Toby. "Nice. I'll buy more for you next time."
Toby stretched out his wings and gestured, "Double!"
Angor nodded. "I'll give you five times."
After this experience, Angor decided to store some food in his bracelet whenever he went out. Wizards could live for years on energy alone, but Angor was only an apprentice. He didn't have such an ability.
Maybe he should learn a Gourmet cantrip, Mana Bread.
But he was only an Illusionist apprentice. It wasn't impossible to learn a Gourmet cantrip, but it would take a lot of time.
While Angor was lost in his thoughts, the rainbow dragonflies carried him to a real … Bacabrado.
Angor was still in a daze when he saw the rainbow dragonflies suddenly changed their direction. Instead of following the nightmare aura, they were heading to the right.
Angor looked at them in confusion.
Then, he discovered … a giant lizard-like creature that was about three to four meters in size was surrounded by rainbow-colored dragonflies. There was a lantern hanging on the head of this giant lizard, which emitted a strong white light, like a deep-sea scorpion.
"A Bacabrado?!" The chances of running into a monster in a plane passageway were close to zero. Among all the creatures that lived in plane passageways, Bacabrado was one of the rarest ones.
But they just happened to run into one?! This was too much of a coincidence.
Angor took a closer look and saw the Bacabrado trembling as if it was terrified of the rainbow dragonflies.
"You can go now. I'll come for you next time!"
Angor sensed several similar emotions from the rainbow dragonflies.
Next, Bacabrado let out a sigh of relief and quickly disappeared into the darkness with his lantern hanging above his head.
"So this Bacabrado was raised by the rainbow dragonflies?" Angor guessed.
After the rainbow dragonflies chased the Bacabrado away, the largest of them suddenly came to Angor with a green light spot on its back.
It presented the green spot to Angor as if it was presenting a treasure.
"Hollow Weed … Is this for me?" Angor already saw the Hollow Weed around the Bacabrado. However, he didn't think about asking for it since the rainbow dragonflies were feeding on it.
Not only did he need someone to give him a ride, but he also needed someone else's gas to fill his wallet. Angor would never do such a thing, even if the Hollow Weed was extremely valuable.
But since the dragonflies were willing to give it to him, Angor wouldn't refuse.
The Hollow Weed was about the size of an egg. Angor estimated that there were at least several hundred Hollow Weed inside. Last time, Angor only obtained 13 Hollow Weed, which allowed him to create a living space about half a square meter in size inside his bracelet.
If he put all the Hollow Weed inside, the bracelet would be able to store living creatures, and there would be plenty left.
