The enormous Cloud Whale, accompanied by the fierce sound of whistling wind, flew straight towards position 03.
From the slightly reddish pupils of the Cloud Whale, everyone understood that this Cloud Whale had also succumbed to the allure of the Mysterious Fruit.
No one tried to stop the Cloud Whale, as the Wizards present were also speculating that the birth of the Mysterious Object might occur at the moment the Mysterious Fruit ripens. And how would the fruit mature? The sea of blood below and the scattered sea beast flesh explained everything.
The arrival of the Cloud Whale would inevitably become the nourishment for the Mysterious Fruit.
What effect would a Mysterious Object born amidst countless sea beasts’ blood and flesh have?
The unobstructed Cloud Whale roared all the way forward.
During this process, Angel noticed that due to the sea of blood obscured by waves, the route the Cloud Whale had to take to get to 03’s side would inevitably pass through their side. Given the Cloud Whale’s huge body, it was anticipated to collide with them.
Angel glanced at the Observer, hesitating whether to suggest to the Observer that they temporarily move position.
Ultimately, he didn’t speak up, after all, he had no right to instruct the Observer on what to do.
The presence of the Cloud Whale was so strong that it was impossible for the Observer not to notice it. If they needed to move, the Observer naturally would, whether he suggested it or not was unimportant.
Angel silently waited, wanting to see how the Observer would react, but from beginning to end, the Observer didn’t move, not even glancing in the direction of the Cloud Whale.
They didn’t relocate, yet the Cloud Whale didn’t collide with them.
Because as the Cloud Whale was about to approach their position, it, which had originally been moving in a straight line, suddenly took a curve, bypassing the spot where they stood.
Even though Angel didn’t see the Observer take any action, it was evident that the Cloud Whale changing its route voluntarily was unlikely to be a normal occurrence.
Angel speculated, perhaps it was due to... the Twisted Domain?
Even though Angel’s Pattern Domain could somewhat offset the influence of the Twisted Domain, the Twisted Domain was nonetheless a true Law concretization that naturally carried a certain deterrent. Perhaps the Cloud Whale sensed this point, hence it bypassed their location.
Not being crashed into by the Cloud Whale was naturally a good thing. However, this also brought about another issue.
Their position seemed to have been exposed.
...
Though the Cloud Whale bypassed the Observer and Angel, it did not bypass the few frontline recorders on the other side.
That enormous body rushed directly toward them with a whistling charge.
"Oh? Are we about to be hit? Chief Editor, why do I feel so thrilled?" Rivetta, wearing a midriff-baring magic robe, not only felt no fear but even looked flushed with excitement.
Diescher: "...Shut up."
The moment the words fell, the Cloud Whale passed right through them.
It took a full ten seconds for the Cloud Whale’s body to pierce through where they stood. This showed how enormous the Cloud Whale’s body was.
However, the collision by the Cloud Whale seemed to have no effect on them.
They remained unchanged from the time the Cloud Whale arrived until it left. Not only were there no signs of injury, but even their clothing wasn’t ruffled.
"The Adventures Inside the Cloud Whale, Chief Editor, how about I publish this in the next issue? Put it in the prologue as a little extra for the readers, how about that?" Rivetta’s voice called out.
Diescher: "Do you think it’s innovative?"
Rivetta was silent for a moment: "Hmm...perhaps not."
In the Wizards’ Realm, forget about adventures inside a Cloud Whale, some have even built towns inside a Cloud Whale. Rivetta has heard that a vassal Wizard Family of the Song of the Deep Sea always lives in a town inside the Cloud Whale, which is also a famous moving Wizard Market of the Endless Sea.
It’s not only Cloud Whales; many other tamed gigantic creatures also have similar situations. For example, the Frostmoon Alliance tamed a moose Illusory Spirit in the Abyss—Cassiomere, whose antlers connect to a Door to the Other-dimensional Space, where a massive city is located, known as Fantasy City.
Such examples are numerous, and the locations vary, some Wizards even prefer living in slug chambers.
Overall, Rivetta’s so-called Adventures Inside the Cloud Whale might be novel to ordinary people, but to Wizards, it lacks originality.
Disheartened by Diescher’s remark, Rivetta lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, but soon she found a new topic.
"By the way, I think I noticed the Cloud Whale’s route seemed to have changed just now, right? Although it would have barely grazed us before, later it directly collided head-on with us, which is a bit strange."
Everyone had witnessed this scene, but they didn’t speak, even Diescher remained silent.
Until Rivetta asked again, the President Zhuguang spoke up: "It’s not important, no need to pay attention to it."
Rivetta was puzzled: "Really? But..."
Before Rivetta could continue, Diescher interjected: "... I’ve told you many times, you, shut up."
Faced with Diescher’s somewhat darkened face, Rivetta hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and closed her mouth.
President Zhuguang exchanged a glance with Adelaide and Diescher. Though none of them spoke, they all understood each other’s intentions.
—The hidden one was right in the area the Cloud Whale bypassed.
Confirming the existence and position of the other party was not good news for them. Because the fact that the other party exposed their position without hesitation also indicated they had no qualms. Of course, other interpretations could be made, but at this level, they knew how to make interpretations. Other possibilities weren’t non-existent, but considering all the details, they seemed very unlikely.
Not only did President Zhuguang and the others determine Angel’s position, but actually, those at the back, who noticed the Cloud Whale taking a detour, all had their own speculations.
Among them, Marcus Stone, who was second closest to Angel and the others, also saw this scene. After hesitating for a moment, he silently followed the Cloud Whale’s lead and made a detour.
He couldn’t be certain what was in that space, but even the Cloud Whale, which had fallen into a frenzy, consciously avoided that area, so to be safe, he opted to take a detour as well.
Marcus Stone’s detour further solidified the suspicions of those behind regarding that peculiar space.
For a moment, they speculated over countless possibilities.
But soon these varied speculations ceased because another shocking event occurred.
