"You must be Mister Angor, right? As expected of Mister Phantom's student. Just as Keely said, if you hadn't saved us, I'm afraid we wouldn't have survived. " Angor turned around and saw the young man standing beside the rhino.
He didn't want to talk to Angor, but when he saw Alan lying on the rhino's back, he nodded.
"It's just a coincidence," Angor replied politely. "And if Mayor Lawson didn't come in time, I would've died too."
"Anyway, we would've been in big trouble if you didn't come." The young man chuckled and introduced himself. "I'm Hermes, from Moxa Westland."
Before the young man could finish, Loki, who was holding the rhino's horn, raised his hand and introduced himself. "I'm Loki, from Moxa Westland too!"
"This is my junior brother." Hermes pointed at Loki with an annoyed expression.
Moxa Westland? Angor didn't recognize the name. But it didn't matter. He nodded and was about to ask about Alan when Loki suddenly asked, "Mister Angor, why did you attract so many fish monsters? Did you go to the sky? "
Loki's question caught everyone off guard. Freud and Shayaron glanced at each other and followed the crowd to look at Angor. Everyone wanted to know the answer to that question, but they all stopped because of their own thoughts. Even Hermes wanted to find out if there was an exit in the sky, but he wanted to ask secretly through telepathy. He didn't expect Loki to bring it up first, even though it seemed like he wanted to.
Keely frowned. It was rare for her to think from someone else's point of view. She didn't expect a brat to ask such a question. She glanced at Loki in disdain and noticed the latter's fear. "It's none of your business. If you want to be a burden, just hide behind your senior brother. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're young."
Rocky wanted to argue after being scolded like that. But Tana tugged at his arm, and Hermes whispered to him to stop talking. Loki could only pout and lower his head with an unhappy look on his face.
Angor didn't expect Keely to speak up and side with him.
He didn't think the question was too difficult to answer, but he didn't want to embarrass Keely any further, so he chose to remain silent.
Since Angor didn't say anything, the others had to pretend nothing happened and keep moving.
After flying for half a day, they were surprised to find that the original location of the wasteland had been covered by a layer of scorching magma. Furthermore, it was spreading even further at an extremely fast speed.
Red lava was everywhere, and smoke was rising everywhere. The lava had already reached the grassland. Judging by the size of the lava, the entire grassland would be swallowed by the lava soon.
Their expressions were somewhat ugly. If they still couldn't find the exit, they might not even have a place to stand. They couldn't fly in the sky forever. Not to mention the problem of mana consumption, just the flying fish alone was a problem.
They had already killed countless schools of flying fish along the way. Angor also saw how strong they were. If he didn't have the sequence of gravity, it would be hard to say who would win in a head-on clash. Hermes' control of the sand had reached the point of perfection. In the blink of an eye, the flying fish were sucked dry of their blood and turned into dried corpses.
Back then, Angor used a trick to defeat the flying fishes. Hermes, on the other hand, fought head-on and easily defeated the flying fish.
It was hard to say who was stronger between the two, but it was clear that Hermes was the stronger one.
The group flew for a while longer. They had caught up with the lava, but it was still eating away at the grassland from all directions. No one knew where to stop.
Shayaron suddenly stopped. "I won't stay with you. Let's go our separate ways."
Shayaron and Freud exchanged a glance, then looked at Yethew. Yethew nodded, and the three of them left together. Before leaving, Yethew spoke in his unpleasant voice, "Sinehowze, this is all because of you. If you can leave the garden alive, I hope you can give us an explanation. Of course, I hope you'll die here. "
Yethew glanced at Angor. The Taste Ant told him that Angor was the one who was eavesdropping on them. He was going to mock Angor, but when he thought about how Angor saved his life, he decided not to admit it. Besides, Angor was Sunders' student, so Yethew didn't want to offend him.
Yethew nodded at Angor and left with Shayaron and Freud.
What Yethew said made Sinehowze and Carveline the center of attention again, but they didn't seem to mind it at all. Instead, they just let everyone stare at them.
Chocolate humphed. "I'll go too. I don't want to stay with you. Who knows if you'll get me killed again?" She cast a cold glance at Carveline and Tana, thanked Angor, and disappeared into the smoke alone.
Everyone left one after another. In the end, only Keely, Angor, Carveline, Sinehowze, Hermes, and Tana were left behind.
Keely also wanted to leave, but she wasn't in the mood to say goodbye. She turned her broom around and prepared to leave.
Angor quickly took out his Gondola from his bracelet and hopped onto it.
The beautiful Gondola attracted everyone's attention as soon as it showed up. In particular, the starry sky curtain that enveloped Gondola looked extremely dreamy and beautiful in the night sky.
Keely frowned and gave Angor a puzzled look.
Angor sat down on the Gondola and shrugged. "You can go by yourself if you want. I'm not leaving anytime soon."
"Why not?"
Angor didn't answer. He had been thinking about what the thin veil in the sky meant, and what did the hourglass mean?
Was something going to happen in two hours? Or something else?
It wasn't until Lawson showed up that Angor had a vague idea of what was going on. Lawson mentioned something about "early sacrifice" when dealing with the Lord of Tentacles. Did that mean the real sacrifice hadn't started yet?
As for the so-called real sacrifice, could it be that the golden sand in the glass ball at the top of the hourglass had been completely drained? In other words, it would only begin after two hours?
Angor's instinct told him that the thin veil above his head was the exit. Since the veil couldn't be opened yet, he didn't need to wander around. When the time was right, he would fly into the sky and take a look.
While waiting for the veil to open, Angor planned to stay behind the group. Hermes was strong enough to deal with the Flying Fish single-handedly. He could also use this time to recover his Mana while under the shade of a big tree.
More importantly, Keely didn't want to leave.
Angor didn't want to stay with Keely. He never liked Keely's personality. However, she came to him as soon as they entered the garden, and she also cooperated well with him. Angor didn't want to say that out loud.
"I promised my professor that I'll protect you," Keely said in a cold tone.
The others all looked at Angor in surprise. Angor had such a large school of demonic fish, including a wizard-level Phosphorescent Jellyfish, which meant he was already strong enough. Keely's promise sounded like a joke.
"Do you think I need your help?" Angor asked.
Keely remained silent for a moment. She thought that Angor would be a burden like Loki. But the reality told her that Angor was not only strong, but also wise and calm in the face of danger.
She didn't want Angor to be her sacrifice target.
However, since she had promised her teacher that she would protect him, she did not want to go back on her words.
In the end, Keely didn't leave. Instead, she followed behind the group.
Angor's decision made the others curious as well. Hermes also considered splitting up. But it seemed that Angor was going to stay with them, and he couldn't leave Tana either. Sinehowze and Carveline were also following the group, so Hermes didn't want to say anything.
Also, Hermes had a feeling that both Angor and Sinehowze knew where the exit was. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so relaxed. If they knew where the exit was, Hermes would be able to find it as soon as possible.
And so, they all headed in the same direction, each with their own thoughts. As for where they were heading, no one really knew.
Sinehowze kept looking back at her Gondola. It was obvious that she liked it a lot. But for some reason, she didn't approach Angor.
Angor glanced at Hermes.
Hermes had been using his flying spell for a long time, which consumed a lot of mana. Angor asked him to take a rest on the boat.
Hermes glanced at Tana and asked if he could bring her on board as well. Angor glanced at Tana, who smiled at him.
He was a little distracted by Tana's sexy "bikini" outfit. But he still nodded when he remembered that Hermes was going to take care of the flying fishes.
Hermes and Tana took a rest on the boat while the rhino hovered beside the Gondola.
Angor sneaked a peek at Alan, who was lying on the rhino's back. He was too weak, at the same level as Sailum. Why would he come to the garden of purification, which was full of dangers?
Angor once heard Jon tell him about the "three great things in life". He didn't know much about the other two, but there was one thing he remembered clearly: "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".
Although he and Alan weren't close friends, they had been friends for more than half a year since they left Grue Town.
Also, both of them came from the Old Earth, so Angor decided to pay more attention to Alan because they were both from Old Earth.
He took a closer look and saw that Alan was still unconscious. Alan's injuries were not serious, but he was still too weak to fight against the Lord of Tentacles' aura. Alan should be fine after some rest.
"I heard Alan talking about you before." Tana suddenly spoke up.
