Looking at Angel’s expression, Lord Rhein raised an eyebrow: "Did I guess wrong?"
Angel still didn’t answer, and this time Rhein was sure: "It seems I did guess wrong. Did you discover this little guy in the inland waters?"
Angel: "We can talk about this later. Right now, I’m very curious as to why Lord Rhein suddenly appeared here."
Rhein gave Angel a deep look. From analyzing the details in Angel’s eyes, he felt like he had guessed wrong again. So it wasn’t the sea, nor the inland waters; where did Angel encounter such a pure water elemental creature?
Since Angel was unwilling to say now, Rhein also temporarily suppressed his inner questions: "The reason I came here is very simple, because there was an anomaly at the Wizard’s Tower in Tide Wave Garden just now."
"An anomaly?" Angel asked in confusion.
Rhein nodded and began to explain. It turned out that not long ago, Rhein and Ironclad Granny were exchanging insights on guarding ruins in the Rosewater Pavilion—ever since the Wilderness of Dreams, they almost always exchanged their daily insights here—when suddenly, Rhein noticed a massive flow of water elemental energy pouring out of Tide Wave Garden.
Upon inspecting Tide Wave Garden, Rhein noticed that the Wizard’s Tower, which housed the core of the laws, was brimming with water energy, intertwining with the changing celestial phenomena above.
Finding nothing amiss in the Wizard’s Tower, Rhein followed the direction where the water elemental laws were disappearing, and flew over.
They traced it here.
"So, the law patterns that made up this raccoon had actually originated from Tide Wave Garden." Angel came to a sudden realization, which also solved a small puzzle from earlier.
At this moment, Dumatin also walked over from a distance: "If the minimal requirement for forming elemental creatures in the Wilderness of Dreams is corresponding real-world law patterns, does that mean that only water elemental creatures can be brought into the Wilderness of Dreams, excluding other elemental attributes?"
Although Dumatin had not yet contacted elemental creatures, he was already in research mode.
Ever since Dumatin attempted to capture a "flying fish" in Tide Wave Garden, Rhein knew that Dumatin intended to study the elemental creatures of the Wilderness of Dreams. In response to Dumatin’s question, Rhein pondered for a moment and nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility."
"Although Tide Wave Garden has been brought into the Wilderness of Dreams, and the core laws within are slowly merging with it, the laws still differ, and the water laws retain characteristics of reality’s laws."
"If the Wilderness of Dreams must possess corresponding real-world laws to bring in corresponding elemental creatures, Dumatin’s speculation holds substantial possibility."
Dumatin squinted: "So it seems that to have various elemental creatures in the Wilderness of Dreams, more elemental attribute Witchcraft Gardens must be merged."
Because the Dream Conch can only pull Witchcraft Gardens into dreams, it cannot directly manipulate real-world laws.
Rhein turned to Angel: "When you return, I will find a way to take you to borrow a Witchcraft Garden from an old friend."
Just then, Ironclad Granny suddenly spoke: "Actually, what you’re saying is just a hypothesis. If there is a way, find another non-water elemental creature to enter the Wilderness of Dreams, and it will confirm whether real-world laws are needed to assist."
Rhein also nodded: "That’s true, but Angel is currently alone outside, and encountering a water elemental creature may already be fate’s favor. It might be difficult to encounter a second non-water elemental creature."
As he finished speaking, Rhein suddenly paused: "Right, there’s still Sanders. Sanders also knows the special Dream Entering Technique of your Illusion Demon Island line. He has non-water attribute elemental creatures; when he enters the Wilderness of Dreams, let him try."
As Rhein felt he had found the key point, Angel quietly said beside him: "... Why do you all think I wouldn’t encounter non-water elemental creatures?"
Angel’s words left everyone stunned.
Ironclad Granny looked over.
Dumatin: "You mean...?"
Rhein inquired in surprise: "You encountered a non-water elemental creature?"
Under everyone’s gaze, Angel slowly spoke, "I..."
However, just after uttering the subject, Angel paused, his gaze shifting to a certain spot.
In the vast expanse of the wilderness, a solitary low shrub swayed unsteadily under the torrential rain. Beneath this unremarkable shrub, a fiery red shadow began to coalesce.
As the fiery red figure emerged, a fireball approximately the size of two adults slowly rose from the wet grass below, enveloping the fiery red shadow, and then slowly levitated.
The appearance of the large fireball instantly drew everyone’s attention.
"Why is there a fireball?" Everyone inwardly questioned.
And the large fireball, buffeted by the heavy rain, seemed on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
In fact, Angel sensed that if the fireball continued to endure the downpour for much longer, it would completely dissipate in just one or two more minutes.
Angel knew that the fiery red shadow within the fireball was the Traveling Frog. If the fire extinguished while the Traveling Frog was forming its body, it might result in unimaginable consequences.
Therefore, Angel decided to intervene actively.
Directly manipulating the celestial phenomena wasn’t ideal at the moment since the raccoon was absorbing the remnants of the water elemental energy, and interrupting the rain could potentially hinder its absorption... After all, this was the raccoon’s chance, and Angel was curious to see what changes would occur once it absorbed the water elemental energy.
With this in mind, Angel decided not to alter the celestial phenomena but to set up an air barrier near the fireball.
Because such a water-repellent air barrier wasn’t too difficult to create, Angel instinctively prepared to manipulate the virtual magic power to construct the corresponding trick model.
The air barrier was successfully set up, shielding the heavy rain showering over the fireball, allowing the previously dimming fireball to brighten once again.
However, at this moment, Angel’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the air barrier and fireball but rather, he extended his hand and sensed the surroundings: "The energy around seems to have weakened?"
As Angel’s words fell, everyone also began to experiment.
"The density of virtual magic power in this vicinity has not only weakened but has almost reached the point of disappearing." Rhein said.
The air barrier Angel had set up was constructed using the virtual magic power stored within his body, so it didn’t require drawing external virtual magic power. But after setting up the air barrier, when Angel tried to absorb virtual magic power, he discovered the scene of the sparse external energy.
"Why did the density of virtual magic power suddenly thin out to this extent?" Dumatin questioned.
"Is it because of that?" Ironclad Granny pointed toward the fireball floating in the distance.
When they arrived here earlier, although the downpour was rampant, the surrounding energy field was generally stable. Now, with the energy field experiencing vigorous fluctuations and becoming so sparse, something unusual must have occurred.
Thinking of all possibilities, the most peculiar was the suddenly appearing large fireball.
As everyone was puzzled, a deep and magnetic voice echoed at their ears: "Ironclad Granny is correct, the anomaly of the virtual magic power indeed stems from that floating fireball."
