Section 2687: Scope

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

Angell spoke again: "Are you really not going to come out?"

Angel began to seduce with words, saying things like "If you don't come out, I'll leave," "I'm going to start counting down," "3, 2, 1... I'll count down again, for the last time."

But no matter what he said, "counting down" was repeated several times, but there was still silence around.

Angell sighed and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that it didn't come out."

Then he turned around and looked at everyone: "Let's go, let's continue."

After speaking, Angell turned around without hesitation and continued to move forward.

Looking at Angell's back, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Didn't the lord find the wood spirit?" Wai asked with some doubts.

"Didn't he say that he didn't come out, so it must be..." When Dox said "definitely", Angell's various deeds in Huangnu Town emerged in his mind. It seems possible that such a sinister person would turn the truth into a lie.

Moreover, Angel seldom does meaningless things along the way. If the action just now was just acting, wouldn't the noise be a bit too loud?

Thinking of this, Dox took back his firm words and said in a different way: "It should be fake, it should be."

Wai thought about it and looked at Kael.

They seemed to be in the ladder of the hanging prison, but in fact it was just an illusion created by Angel. Even if the wood spirit really appeared, as long as Angel did not replace the illusion, they could not see the wood spirit. Of course, the wood spirit could not see them.

The only one who entered the ladder of the hanging prison with Angel was Kael. Therefore, if they wanted to know the situation at the scene, Kael was the best channel except for Angel himself.

However, Kael was also a little confused at this time.

Seeing Wai looking at him, Kael also said with a confused face: "I didn't see anything. Is the wood spirit really here?"

Kael also had no accurate information, so only the wise master knew the inside story. However, Wai didn't dare to ask the wise master, so he could only secretly look at Dox, signaling him to ask.

However, before Dox could respond to his "hint", the voice of the Black Earl came from the side: "If it is true, he will find a way to let the wood spirit come out; if it is false, there is no need to discuss it. Keep watching and you will know."

As soon as the voice fell, the Black Earl took the lead to leave the place, followed Angel's steps, and stepped into the depths of silence.

Since the Black Earl said so, the others could only obey and followed.

The Wise Master was the last to leave. He looked at the dark void with doubts in his eyes. Just now, he really believed Angel, because Angel's expression at that time did not seem to be acting.

But later, Angel's words "did not cheat out" confused him.

Yes, even the Wise Master was trapped in the same problem as Wai.

Although he could sense the situation inside the Suspended Prison Ladder through the magic array, his special student Mu Ling had a higher talent for hiding than anyone imagined. Without going in to look for him personally, even the wise man could not confirm the location of Mu Ling.

So, whether Angel was acting or really found Mu Ling and called him out, the wise master could not be sure. However, from his perspective, Angel did not seem to be lying just now.

But the other party gave up and left so decisively, which made the wise master suspicious.

However, what confused the wise master more was not whether the words just now were true or false, but Angel himself.

"Strange behavior, secrets, abilities and skills... not more than forty years old." The wise master silently muttered these labels in his heart. What was the purpose of such a person?

In his mind, Angel could even be called a "variable".

According to the script he set, this group of people would definitely enter the abandoned land, but they would anger the goddess and finally flee in a hurry. At that time, the wise master will save them, of course, except for the nose whose identity is definitely suspicious.

Then, through the grace of saving his life, he will learn from them the situation inside the abandoned land and find out the secret of the goddess.

As for what happens next, the wise master doesn't care. He can kill them, or erase their memory of being here, and then let it go. After all, the Noah family is now a powerful family. If they discover the secrets here and attract their prying eyes, their size and connections alone are enough to make the dormant Naraku City drink a big pot.

In order to avoid trouble, the wise master will not let the situation here spread. Therefore, killing or erasing memory are both optional options. Which one to choose, the wise master will consider the current situation and the attitude of this group of people to make a choice.

However, these are the script processes set by the wise master before, and now he is a little hesitant.

All the reasons are Angel.

Angel is definitely not a descendant of Noah, but the energy behind him is definitely not simple, and may even exceed that of Noah.

It is strange that such a person comes here. What is even stranger is that every move he makes always ends up in a place that the wise master can't imagine.

This is a variable, a variable that may change the outcome drastically.

Such a variable is not necessarily a bad thing.

According to the previous concept of the wise master, even if this variable is not bad, he will eliminate it. Variables are variables, which disrupt his planning process. Even if there are unexpected gains, he cannot let it go.

But the ten thousand years of persistence have made the wise master's ideas begin to change.

Sticking to the rules is for stability, but if you want to burst out innovation with inspiration, you need not stability, but change.

He has maintained this stability for ten thousand years, but there is no gain. Naraku not only cannot see the hope of revitalization, but is getting more and more decadent.

He can wait for ten thousand years, but it is impossible to wait for the next ten thousand years. It's not that he is not patient enough, but that the journey of this life is about to reach the end.

So, he needs to change. Only change can perhaps change the current situation of decline.

He wants to explore the truth of the leftover land and spy on the secret of the goddess, and he also wants to change.

But the "change" he is seeking now is still not out of his script. Because the stability cultivated for ten thousand years has penetrated into his heart, his change is more like: change in stability.

But can this kind of change really achieve his expectations?

Perhaps, it is time to consider a more radical "change".

However, will this young supernova bring changes to this lifeless Naraku City?

"Observe again, observe again..." The wise master muttered in his heart and set foot on the road of the void again.

...

Not only the wise master was observing, but Dox was also observing Angel.

He always felt that Angel would not do something meaningless for no reason. Since Angel said that there was a "little guy" watching in the dark, if this was true, he would definitely take action next.

In Dox's opinion, Angel might have been investigating and confirming the location of the "little guy". After confirming it, he would unexpectedly find out the other party's location and force the other party out.

However, the more he observed, the more confused Dox became.

Angel was very fast and had no intention of stopping at all. It really looked like he was going to leave the ladder of the suspended prison instead of looking for the wood spirit.

Moreover, Angel did not show any intention to explore the surroundings from beginning to end, and his eyes were always looking forward firmly.

Although Dox did not know whether Angel was secretly using his mental power to explore the surroundings, if he wanted to explore, mental power alone was not enough. Some things could not be seen by the naked eye, but mental power could sense them; but some things might not be perceived by mental power, but could be seen by the naked eye.

Maybe the wood spirit was the latter, or even both.

So, in Dox's opinion, Angel should not have secretly explored. He was really "in a hurry" to leave.

"Did I guess wrong again?... Why did I say 'again'?"

When Dox was confused, Kael walked to Angel.

"My lord, we are about to reach the exit. Shall we leave like this?"

Kael wanted to ask if he wanted to find the wood spirit again, but he thought that he had only asked once before, so he was embarrassed to ask again, and could only express it in a tactful way.

"We've come this far, so we must leave."

Angel paused and continued, "But before leaving, let's go see Mu Ling."

Kael thought that Angel had given up when he heard the first part, but as the second half of the sentence fell, Kael raised his head suddenly.

"Mu Ling? Did the lord find Mu Ling?"

Angel smiled mysteriously: "I'm lying, do you believe me?"

Kael: "..."

Angel: "We're almost there, let's go and see."

Angel patted Kael's shoulder and motioned him to follow.

Kael was stunned for a moment, nodded, followed Angel, and walked forward.

Others also heard Angel's words, but they were very calm now. The main thing was that Angel seemed to have been playing with their mentality.

Whether it was true or not, they couldn't judge, just like what the Black Earl said, just use your eyes to see.

If Angel heard their voices at this time, he would probably feel very wronged. As a "host", isn't it to create suspense, ups and downs, and fascinating and gripping plots?

He performed so hard, but it was thankless. He was also accused of "playing with their mentality", how could he not feel wronged.

However, it is hard to say whether he was really wronged or pretending.

Of course, it was fortunate that Angel didn't know their thoughts and didn't express his grievances, otherwise, the mentality of others would probably collapse again.

...

Angel said "almost there", this time it was really almost there.

Kael only followed Angel for about 20 meters and stopped. He looked at the surrounding environment and found that this was the fork in the road where the left and right roads were divided before.

"My lord, is the wood spirit nearby?"

Kael observed the surroundings in confusion. There were no ruins nearby, and he couldn't find any abnormal things. If he really wanted to hide, he could only hide in the quiet void.

But, would the wood spirit really be in the void? If it was in the void, how did Angel find it?

Angel said "hmm", then closed his eyes, as if he was in a state of perception.

Kael didn't dare to disturb Angel, and didn't know whether he should also sense the surrounding situation... but he was afraid that if he sensed, he would scare the wood spirit away.

Kael looked at Dox for help.

Dox: "Since Jin didn't stop you, you can do whatever you want."

After a pause, Dox said, "By the way, if you find anything unusual, tell us as soon as possible."

Angel didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so Dox could only pin his hopes on Kael.

However, Kael used his mental power to sense, searched everywhere, and even used the power of space, but still didn't find anything unusual nearby.

After a while, Kael gave up in frustration.

Everyone could probably imagine this result. After all, the Black Earl didn't find any trace of the wood spirit. Kael was just an apprentice, and the possibility of finding the wood spirit was very small.

However, although this result was not surprising, if the wood spirit was really here and we already knew the location of the wood spirit, but still couldn't find it, then this would be really terrible.

This kind of concealment ability is simply amazing... It is also admirable that the coward's self-cultivation can reach this level.

There was no way to get news from Kael, and Dox could not count on Angel who still had his eyes closed, so he could only turn his attention to the wise master.

However, the wise master had no intention of speaking at all, and all his eyes were focused on Angel.

For the wise master, he didn't know whether the wood spirit was nearby. But what he knew was that Angel's position at this moment was quite special.

This was the center left by the goddess here.

Before, Angel broke the oil painting left by the goddess here, and he could use the reason that he had seen the oil painting. But now, what reason should he use to explain that he happened to step into the center?

The wise master had already begun to guess in his heart what the relationship between Angel and the goddess was. Did he come here for the goddess?

If so, were he and the goddess friends or enemies?

The wise master had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but what he didn't know was that his speculation was actually wrong from the beginning.

Angel had nothing to do with the so-called goddess, and even Angel didn't know who this goddess was. The reason why he came to this fork in the road was not a temporary decision. When he came back from the left fork, he had already begun to circle the possible location of the wood spirit in his mind.

At that time, Angel had two ranges in his mind. The first range was the end of the road on the right, that is, the room with the vine sculpture. Because at that time, there were two coordinates that resonated with the cane, one in the void on the left road, and the other in the room at the end of the right road. The void on the left road has been determined to be a very dangerous place. The wood spirit could not go to the left road anyway, so only the coordinates of the right road were left.

However, after Angel went to the room at the end of the right road, he did not find the wood spirit, only the vine sculpture left by the wood spirit there.

At that time, Angel had already understood that the vine sculpture was probably the one that resonated with the cane.

Since the coordinates of the left and right roads were wrong, Angel could almost be sure that the location of the wood spirit must be in the second range.

And the second range was near this fork in the road.
