"Kaier is gone!" Vay turned his head, anxiously speaking to everyone.
But Dox and the Black Earl remained silent, even his loud calls didn’t draw their attention.
Vay wanted to seek Angel’s help, but upon looking carefully, he realized not only had Kaier vanished... Angel was missing too.
"Lord Chaowei... Kaier..." Vay’s face was full of astonishment as he unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Don’t be so surprised, I know they’re gone," Dox finally came to his senses and turned to Vay.
Vay still looked puzzled: "How come they disappeared suddenly? What happened?"
Dox: "Nothing much happened, it’s just that Kaier seemed to have accidentally stepped into a dog hole and fell in, and Angel saw it and jumped in after him."
Vay: "And then?"
Dox nodded: "That’s it, there’s no ’and then’.
Vay’s suppressed anger seemed to ignite instantly: "And that’s called ’nothing’? Tell me, where is there a dog hole nearby?"
As his shouting reached its peak, Vay’s voice suddenly dropped, muttering to himself: "Dog hole? You say dog hole?"
"You mean... You Nu?"
"Why are you shouting?" Dox fiddled with his ear: "Not You Nu, it’s likely one of Cyclops Family’s treasures... I just thought it through, since they’re You Nu’s three kids, according to the Wise Sovereign, they shouldn’t kill Angel."
Vay’s expression was still not relaxed, insisting seriously: "Anyway, it’s uncertain. Not certain about the Wise Sovereign’s words, not certain about the Cyclops Family’s character. What if they really act?"
Dox: "If they really act, I think Angel should be fine."
"What about Kaier?"
Dox: "Kaier, he’ll have to rely on luck then."
Hearing such irresponsible words from Dox, Vay’s anger began to rise again. At this moment, the Black Earl’s voice came: "Don’t worry, unlike before, this time I don’t sense malice or danger."
The Black Earl had always been sniffing near the dog hole for positioning, so he was more sensitive to these dog holes than others. Though he couldn’t determine this time if it was the first or second treasure, he could still judge the presence of malice or killing intent.
Moreover, when Kaier fell into the dog hole, Angel was able to detect it and follow, how could the Black Earl not notice?
The reason the Black Earl didn’t follow was simple; he knew that if one wants to pass You Nu’s blockade without harming it, it’s estimated that only the method of the Magical Energy Array can resolve it. And only Angel at the scene can achieve it; his following might create pressure and burden, it’s better for Angel to go alone.
During this period, everything Angel did and decided on was witnessed by the Black Earl, and he believed that with Angel’s ability, he could handle this matter perfectly.
So, now they don’t need to do anything, just wait.
...
Meanwhile, Angel and Kaier are in a pitch-black space.
Kaier looked around with a puzzled expression; he remembered falling into a very small hole and didn’t feel a landing, how did he end up here?
This space looked quite large, surrounded by walls with no flaws visible, no doors or windows, no light, like a dark dungeon.
Most importantly, Kaier found his spiritual power unable to leave his body, meaning he couldn’t use his spiritual power perspective to examine hidden corners in the dark.
And Kaier hadn’t learned other methods to open an energy perspective, this made him feel a bit apprehensive.
In other words, Kaier now could only rely on his naked eyes, which are most easily deceived.
If Kaier were alone in this, he would probably start feeling fear and confusion. Fortunately, Lord Chaowei was beside him, which made Kaier’s heart slightly at ease.
"Master, this place is..."
"Inside the belly of Cyclops Treasures one or two," Angel answered Kaier while secretly instructing Earl Mi to diffuse his shadow around.
Angel’s spiritual power was suppressed too, but the degree of suppression was limited; if he insisted on breaking it through, he still could. However, in unknown places, Angel was more cautious and careful than usual.
His spiritual power wasn’t strong, if specifically targeted, he’d be in a passive position.
Therefore, Angel connected his perspective with Earl Mi’s, Earl Mi’s eyes saw a pure energy world, capable of clearly sensing all details around.
You could say Earl Mi could completely replace Angel’s spiritual power, even stronger.
If Earl Mi doesn’t have an issue, Angel would probably be more relieved.
Angel shook his head, setting aside the potential resurrection of Earl Mi’s consciousness, carefully observing the surroundings.
Previously checked with the naked eye, only saw emptiness around, but in Earl Mi’s perspective, Angel saw a cluster of darkness standing not far away.
It was a pure, continuously expanding and contracting cluster of darkness.
Like a deliberately gathered fog ball, just here the fog transformed into dancing fiery darkness.
If it were just a dark sphere, Angel would probably focus first, then continue checking other places for mechanisms or exits.
But this dark sphere was slightly different.
Angel sensed emotions within the dark sphere, complex, without pure malice.
Using an anthropomorphic analogy, it’s like a normally composed gentleman suddenly discovering an intriguing unknown object, doesn’t dare to touch directly, cautiously observing.
It might sound fine initially, but thinking deeper, this composed "gentleman" who is observing the unknown object – who or what is it? Angel and Kaier.
In the other’s view, he and Kaier were just objects, with the unknown meaning: value or lack thereof.
Even though there was no malice exposed, this attitude of treating life as objects brings a stronger shock feeling than malice.
Leaving aside the other’s worldview and values for now, just discussing this dark sphere, if nothing else, it should be one of the three children of the Wise Sovereign’s You Nu as mentioned.
