The eye behind the door was filled with coldness and cruelty as it scanned the dark land around them.
Angor nearly jumped out of his skin.
He knew that if he didn't do something to protect himself, he would be discovered by the Leviathan. Being watched by a berserk Leviathan was definitely not a good thing.
Before the monster noticed him, Angor quickly dove to the ground. After landing on the ground, Angor quickly placed a small layer of nightmare illusion around him, which allowed him to blend in with the silent land around him. At the same time, he fully activated Infinite Reticence to make himself look invisible.
Even so, Angor still felt that something was wrong. The island was not spacious at all. But when the light of dawn shone in, Angor's heart was pounding like a drum. He felt uneasy and uneasy.
Even though the Leviathan's spiritual perception was weak, the illusion nodes were floating in the air as the land was too vast for them to hide. If the Leviathan had sensed the fluctuations of the illusion nodes, it would have noticed that something was amiss.
"I have to find a place to hide from the Leviathan." Even in such a dire situation, he was still able to control his body with his mind.
He turned his head around and tried to find a good spot to hide.
Suddenly, he saw a huge crater in the ground.
The earthquake had stopped, and the terrain of the island had completely changed. The crater Angor was looking at should have been a mountain ridge. Earlier, Torras came here to find a hidden space inside the mountain ridge.
But now, the mountain ridge was no longer there. What was exposed was a narrow crack in the ground.
If Angor was right, there should be a hidden space under the crack, and Torras was hiding inside it.
Staying on the ground would only attract the Leviathan's attention. Even if he had a nightmare illusion, he couldn't do that. Besides, Infinite Reticence didn't make him invisible. It only weakened his presence, so there was still a chance for him to be discovered.
For now, he believed that the safest option was to hide inside the crater.
With that in mind, Angor quickly got to his feet. The Leviathan's attention wasn't here yet, but he didn't have much time left.
Angor slowly crawled toward the crack. During this period, they also had to avoid the falling boulders caused by the aftershocks of the earthquake. It was extremely thrilling. Everything seemed to be going well. Before the monster could reach the central area, Angor had already reached the edge of the crater.
With a gentle roll, he fell into the darkness.
Next, he left an inconspicuous scout puppet outside the hole to act as his eyes.
He didn't forget to activate his Purification Field to prevent his pheromones from leaking into the ground. After rolling for a few seconds in the dark, he finally landed on the ground.
There was still some pressure underground, but it was much less dangerous than on the surface.
He stood up and observed his surroundings with the help of the Purification Force Field's light shield.
The tunnel seemed to have been dug before, and it seemed to be able to withstand the pressure. There were some falling stones, but there was no sign of the tunnel being blocked yet.
It seemed that Torras had been hiding somewhere in this tunnel.
After making sure there was no danger, he connected to the scout puppet on the ground. Using the puppet's vision, Angor began to observe the situation in the sky.
The Leviathan was still patrolling the area. Angor noticed that while the monster was observing the world behind the door, it was also harboring malicious thoughts about the door itself.
Angor could see the monster trying to tear the door open with its energy.
Every time the door was torn open, the energy in the area would go berserk.
Angor now had a good idea about the cause of the earthquake. Perhaps the monster was attacking the area, which was why the earthquake happened.
While observing the Leviathan, he suddenly heard some strange noises coming from inside the building.
Since the monster was still patrolling the area, its roars became softer and softer until they were almost inaudible. This gave Angor a chance to listen to other noises coming from behind the "door". He listened carefully and heard the sound of waves, as well as a strange noise caused by the sequence of the law of the sea.
The sequence of the sea was similar to the sequence of gravity. It was highly unlikely that the monster was using the sequence of the sea. It was more likely that the monster was someone else.
Angor once heard from Sunders that there were only a few people who owned a Sorcerer's Garden. But there were still some. For example, Song of the Deep had "God of Sea" Flunza as an example.
Flunza owned a low-level Sorcerer's Garden called "Ocean Paradise". Through the garden, Flunza learned about the sequence of the sea.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he was right. Maybe people from Song of the Deep and Summerdew Ridge were here as well.
Angor felt a little anxious. No one had come through the "door" yet. Maybe it was because of the Leviathan, or the fact that the "door" was only slightly ajar. It was not the worst situation yet, but Angor believed that it would not take long for someone to come through the door.
If he did not leave by then, he would be in big trouble.
He did not have much time left. He had to find a way to get back to the cave and leave this place through the teleportation array.
However, the Leviathan's eyes were glued to the door in the sky, and it couldn't leave just yet.
Angor believed that the monster would not keep staring at the door. As long as the monster moved its eyes away, he would have a chance to get back to the cave.
The only thing he was glad about was that he got the scout puppet earlier. Without it, he would not know what was going on outside. Besides, the alchemy item only consumed energy from the inside instead of using energy from the world, which would not attract the Leviathan's attention.
Toby suddenly whispered into his ear while he was still keeping an eye on the Leviathan's movements through the use of his scout puppet.
Angor looked at Toby in confusion.
Toby floated in the air and pointed a wing at his back.
Back? He looked back and saw a dark tunnel behind him. He couldn't see anything in it.
"What is it?" Angor asked Toby while keeping an eye on the outside world.
Toby chirped softly.
"You mean, there was a flash of golden light in the tunnel behind us?" Angor tried to translate it.
Toby nodded and asked if Angor wanted to check it out.
"Golden light? This is where Torras used to hide. Perhaps Torras's treasure is hidden here? Or perhaps Lucas's? " Of course, it was possible that they were both the same thing. After all, Lucas' logbook was full of strange things.
Angor reached his spirit feelers into the Church of the Deceased to check Torras' condition. If Torras woke up, it would be best if he could get some clues about the golden light from the monster. Unfortunately, Torras' soul still needed time to turn into a soul. He was still lying in a corner of the church without showing any signs of waking up. The good news was that Torras did not show any signs of collapsing.
Since he couldn't get anything from Torras, Angor decided to check it out even if Torras' treasure was inside.
As long as the Leviathan looked away, Angor would use the sequence of gravity to leave. With the help of the sequence of gravity, it would only take a few seconds for Angor to leave the place.
With that in mind, Angor nodded. "Let's check it out. I also want to know if the real secret of this space is hidden in it. "
There had to be something special about this place since it attracted the attention of a truth-finder like God of Sea. Angor wondered if the secret was hidden in the depths of the tunnel.
Angor moved deeper into the dark tunnel while using his scout puppet to keep an eye on the Leviathan.
Soon, he arrived at the end of the tunnel and saw a small room. There were a stone bed, a chair, and some decayed wooden furniture. There were also other miscellaneous items, most of which were already damaged.
Beside the stone bed, there was even a sinister skull.
Angor didn't find anything that could give off a golden light. However, when he used his spirit feelers to scan the area, he found a small space behind the bed that was separated by a wooden plank.
The space wasn't big, so Angor couldn't see what was inside. But when he used his spirit feelers and a Fluorite to check the area, he was surprised to see that there were … treasures inside.
A large number of treasure chests filled with gold coins were placed inside, all of which were shining brightly.
Gold and silver, treasures, swords inlaid with pearls, precious utensils, legendary masterpieces, masterpieces … Everything was placed in one place. Even though Angor did not have much interest in mortal gold coins, he was still shocked by what he saw.
"Looks like this is Torras's treasure." Angor used his spirit feelers to check the chests and sighed. "Too bad they're all ordinary things."
As for the golden light Toby saw, Angor didn't see anything. Maybe Toby saw wrong?
Since there was nothing else worth exploring here, and there was no other way to go, he decided to go back.
As for the treasures inside, he didn't really care about them apart from some masterpieces. As for the masterpieces … Angor wasn't in the mood for them since he was in a critical situation.
"Let's go." Angor patted Toby's shoulder and turned around. But as soon as he took a step forward, his expression changed to one of joy. "The Leviathan is looking away from the door. Here's our chance! Let's get out of here, Toby! "
With that, he dashed toward the exit.
Toby hesitated a little and prepared to follow. But before he could, he saw another golden light flashing behind him. When he looked back, he saw the golden light coming from the skull placed beside the bed.
Humans might try to avoid looking at a dead person's skull, but Toby didn't mind at all. He simply thought that the shiny skull looked pretty good, so he put it into Snowy Feather and chased after Angor.
