Chapter 2271 The Swallowed Treasure
Not only that, the void storm continued to spread, and lasted for several hours until it reached a certain limit, and then it slowly retreated like the ebb tide.
And retreating does not mean disappearing, it just returned to the base of the void storm, dormant, and waiting for the next outbreak.
"What's going on?" Angel looked at the void storm in the distance with doubt: he felt like a living being that was breathing, and the void storm rose and fell between breaths.
"I don't know, the void storm appeared not long after Mr. Feng left. It is rising and falling every moment, and the passage in the painting happens to be within the range of the disaster, so if you want to enter here, you must calculate the time well." Nai Mei Cui said.
Angel frowned slightly.
From the rise and fall situation he just saw, plus Nai Mei Cui's previous talk about waiting in the vine house, he basically guessed that the void storm has regular ups and downs.
This kind of ups and downs is indeed very strange, but what makes him more suspicious is
"Not long after Mr. Feng left, the void storm appeared? You mean, the void storm here lasted for six hundred years?"
Nai Mei Cui: "To be precise, it's more than four hundred years. The void storm appeared about a hundred years after Mr. Feng left."
Angel was silent for a moment. He was no longer able to complain about the elemental creatures' concept of time. "Not long after leaving" turned out to be more than a hundred years in the eyes of elemental creatures.
Putting these aside, just talking about this phenomenon, Angel had never heard of it before.
Void storms are a common disaster in the void, but according to the records he has seen, void storms are not a stubborn disaster.
There are countless causes of void storms. It is very likely that an inadvertent dust rise and fall may set off a void storm in a few months or years. However, after the internal energy of the void storm is exhausted, it will disappear quickly. Although the space in the void is sometimes unstable, there is still a certain law-like law. This law has self-repairing properties. After the space collapses, it will also be gradually repaired under the action of the law.
That is to say, the raging void storm not only consumes internal energy, but also fights against certain external laws. Therefore, generally speaking, it will not last too long.
Even if there are some dangerous spaces with periodic void storms, they are not continuous, but intermittent.
The longest void storm is estimated not to be counted in years.
But the void storm in front of him lasted for more than four hundred years.
This is beyond Angel's cognition.
So, when he first heard about it, Angel guessed whether it was a man-made disaster. Because only humans can provide such surging and continuous energy for the void storm.
Angel had heard Namie Cui say that "the void storm came not long after Feng left", and thought it was Feng's doing. But later he learned that the void storm appeared a hundred years after Feng left, which made Angel a little confused.
If it was really Feng's doing, he should not let the void storm come a hundred years later.
Or did Feng set up a continuous void storm chain after a hundred years?
Angel still has many doubts about the void storm in front of him, but it is difficult to get an answer now, and there is no trace in the void for him to find out.
So, he can only put it aside for the time being.
"Since this is the void corresponding to the center of the world, that means that the treasure left by Mr. Feng is here?" Angel looked around and felt the feedback. In addition to the vast void, there was only the void storm not far away.
The so-called treasure, there is no shadow.
Angel looked at Nai Mei Cui, but found that Nai Mei Cui was looking at the shrinking void storm in the distance with her golden eyes.
Angel's heart sank: "That treasure, it can't be..."
Nai Mei Cui slowly said: "You are right, the treasure is in the void storm."
Angel: ? ? ?
When in the vine house, Angel heard that there was a void storm behind the passage in the painting, and he felt a little uneasy.
The more you worry, the more likely you are to meet it unexpectedly.
Now, the uneasiness has really become a reality.
"What is the specific situation? Sir, can you tell me in detail?" Angel couldn't help asking.
Namie Cui did not hide it and told all the situations.
In short, the treasure is placed in the void. Namie Cui has never approached the treasure place because of the promise she made to Feng. She just left a UFO flower in the void to observe whether there are void creatures that stray into it to prevent the treasure from being destroyed.
The void is boundless, and it is difficult to encounter void creatures. After so many years, Namie Cui did not find the appearance of void creatures, but the void creatures did not appear, but the void disaster came.
Four hundred years ago, Namie Cui was still in seclusion, and the UFO flower suddenly moved. Namie Cui thought that a void creature appeared, and hurried to the void.
Then, it witnessed with its own eyes that the place where the treasure was located was surrounded by the void storm.
The void storm was still spreading, and Namie Cui had no choice but to retreat.
It thought the void storm would not last long, and wanted to wait until the void storm disappeared before going to the treasure land to see if it had been affected. But what it did not expect was that since that day, the void storm had been here permanently and had never left.
Angel: "Your Excellency just said that the place where the treasure is located is just surrounded by the void storm? The treasure has not been annihilated?"
Nai Mei Cui: "When the void storm first appeared, it did not invade the place where the treasure is located, but the void storm spread very quickly. I don't know what happened later."
Angel: "Can't the treasure place be observed here?"
Nai Mei Cui nodded: "The treasure place is still far away from here and is in the core of the void storm. Even if the void storm shrinks to the extreme, it is still impossible to observe the situation of the treasure place. So it is hard to say whether the treasure has been annihilated or still exists."
Although Nai Mei Cui said so, Angel still planned to walk around the void storm to try. See if you can observe the situation of the treasure place. If the treasure place still exists, there is at least a glimmer of hope; if the treasure place is annihilated, there is no need to waste time here.
So, Angel began to walk around the periphery of the void storm.
After the walk, Angel was convinced that what Naimeicui said was true. He rode on the back of Toby, who had transformed into a griffin, and walked around the Void Storm.
At Toby's speed, it took a full day to walk around the Void Storm.
This already shows how large the area of the Void Storm is.
And it is completely impossible to observe the situation of the treasure land from the periphery.
Angel returned to Naimeicui with a face full of regret.
"Do you have a way to enter the Void Storm?" Although Angel did not hold any hope, he still couldn't help asking.
Naimeicui glanced at Angel and said unhappily: "What do you think?"
The simplest disaster in the void is not something that can be dealt with casually. At least Angel has never heard of anyone who can survive after entering the Void Storm.
He himself can't do it, and since Naimeicui asked so, it seems that it can't be done either.
Now the situation of the treasure is unknown, and it is impossible to enter the Void Storm, and things have suddenly reached a deadlock.
At this time, Namie Cui said: "Perhaps, after I break through the bottleneck, I can enter the void storm."
Namie Cui's words made Angel stunned for a moment.
His attention shifted away from the void storm and he thought of Feng again.
The current situation seems to be the worst. However, since Feng wrote the chapter of fate through the Book of Kells and compiled a big picture that encompasses the abyss, the wizard world, and the tidal world, didn't he foresee the void storm here?
Before, he guessed that the void storm might have nothing to do with Feng, because he didn't know that the treasure land was also included in the void storm. Since the treasures are all in the void storm, it may really be related to Feng's game.
If Feng really foresaw all this, and the void storm was also in the game he set. Then, two inevitabilities can be deduced.
The first inevitability: the treasure land must be fine.
Both Frost Iser and Namie Cui said that Feng felt very painful when he left the treasure. These treasures are obviously very precious. Feng would not set up a trap to let the treasure be annihilated by the void storm. Unless Feng was acting from the moment he put down the treasure. But this does not seem to be in line with Feng's character. Although Feng has some bad tastes, he is still reliable and leaves room for maneuver.
The second inevitability: the current void storm must have a solution.
Under the premise of the first inevitability, if the void storm has no solution, there is no need to set up such a big trap.
So, what is the "solution" to the void storm?
Feng once told Namie Cui that Angel was the breakthrough opportunity for Namie Cui. If this matter is also counted in the trap, then what Namie Cui said may really be possible.
Namie Cui is the key to breaking the trap.
When Namie Cui achieves legend, she can enter the treasure land.
Assuming this speculation is true, then after a long journey, things are back to the original question: how to help Namie Cui break through?
Regardless of whether the Void Storm was in Feng's expectations or not, and regardless of whether there was a solution in the end, at least Angel could be sure that he would not be able to get the treasure for the time being.
So, with a heart full of regrets and deep resentment towards Feng, Angel and Namie Cui waited until the Void Storm receded, and returned to the vine house from the fixed coordinates.
After returning to the vine house, Namie Cui asked Angel: "What are you going to do next?"
Angel: "Mr. Feng should not set up an unsolvable situation. If the Void Storm is also in his calculations, there should be a solution. I want to stay here for a while. I wonder if you agree?"
Namie Cui nodded: "Okay."
Namie Cui also figured it out at this time. Since Angle is the opportunity for it to break through, let's observe it first. Although it is still a little unwilling, the breakthrough itself is a mysterious thing. Angle may be an opportunity, but he can't help it break through, and it still has to rely on itself.
After Namie Cui said that, she left. Only a blue UFO flower was left outside the vine house. If Angel needs to find it, he can contact it through the UFO flower.
After Namite left, Angel quietly stared at the portrait and fell into deep thought.
...
Outside the Lost Forest.
In the dark forest, Maoye Groot, Lobel and Suling were chatting in a low voice. Chubig flew to the top of a big tree and hid in the dense leaves, seeming to be resting.
Only Dangros stood in front of the mist of the Lost Forest, looking inside.
"Mr. Pat has been in there for almost two days. Nothing will happen, right?"
While Dangolos was thinking this, Maule Groot suddenly came behind him.
"You still don't admit that you are worried?" Mauye Groot said with a smile.
Dangros was as outraged as ever: "I've said it many times, I'm worried about Lord Toby!"
Mauye Groot gave Dangros a deep look: "I didn't say you were worried about Mr. Pat. Why are you reacting so harshly?"
Dangros choked on his words, groaned, and turned his palm: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
After a period of silence, Dangros saw that Mauye Groot was still not far away, so he couldn't help but ask: "There should be no problem with the situation inside, right? Does Lord Namitri hate foreign races?"
Groot said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on inside. However, Master Namitsui shouldn't hate aliens. At least he should have no prejudice against humans."
Dangoros breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. However, while breathing a sigh of relief, it noticed that Groot was looking at it, and it quickly said to itself: "Then Master Toby will be fine."
When Groot heard Dangros' words, he smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Qubige, who was lying on the treetop, suddenly said: "The fog deep in the Lost Forest seems to have dispersed."
As soon as Qubige finished speaking, all the elemental creatures turned their attention to the distance.
Chubig, Lobel and Speed Spirit are all wind creatures and can fly at high altitudes for observation. Leafy Groot is also tall and can see very far away. Only Dangolos can basically see with his small palm. Nothing to see.
When Dangoros was anxious, Leafy Groot stretched out a branch to him, beckoning him to climb up.
Dangros hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto Groot's body, came to the top of the tree, and looked into the distance.
Chubig was not talking nonsense. The mist deep in the Lost Forest had indeed become thinner.
As the fog faded, a sky-high vine slowly appeared in their field of vision.
"Your Highness Maoye, what's going on with that vine? Why is it so high? It seems to be inserted into the clouds!" Dangros asked in surprise.
However, before Moye Groot could answer, he heard a cold voice coming from the Lost Forest.
"That's the vine tower."
The moment the words came out, Groot was stunned: This voice is so familiar...
Maule Groot suddenly turned around and looked into the depths of the Lost Forest.
But in the mist, a green snake revealed its elegant figure amidst the blooming flowers.
