Chapter 78
Twenty minutes later, Oliver led Isaac and the others inside.
Isaac and the rest were shocked. They looked around and could not close their mouths.
They thought, “What on earth is going on?”
Gunther looked at Gabriel. They nodded at each other in agreement.
“Oliver, come here.” Gunther waved to Oliver. Gabriel also followed. The three sat down on some clean and white rocks.
Gunther wiped the blood on his mouth and asked Oliver with a strange look on his face, “Oliver, how did you… How did you suddenly walk out of the fog?”
Gabriel also looked at the infinite fog wall and its picturesque scenery. He thought he could not walk out of it, but Oliver surprised them.
After discovering the secret of the Enchanting Array of Enchanting Fog, Oliver had been already thinking about an explanation. He pondered for a while after Gunther asked before picking up a branch and drawing on the ground.
He drew the big circle of Enchanting Array and then some red and green lines, among which those green dots were replaced by small stones.
Oliver was drawing according to the map displayed in his mind. He did not feel anything in his mind, and it was only after he finished the drawing that he realized this map was not disordered but had specific patterns.
Gabriel fixed his eyes on the map drawn by Oliver for a long time and asked him, “Oliver, I feel like… I’ve read a book of Five Elements Soldier Formation before. I feel that this one you painted is like a formation diagram, but it doesn’t look like…”
However, Oliver was determined and agreed with Gabriel’s words. “This is a formation diagram. I saw it in an ancient manuscript before, and I had a little impression of it. However, I hadn’t paid much attention to it, and the manuscript was lost somewhere. After half a day of traveling today, I suddenly remembered it. So, I walked out following the route in that diagram.”
Gabriel was stunned. He thought, “What a coincidence!”
Oliver added, “This formation diagram is called ‘Enchanting Concealed Defense Array.’ It was used to add a layer of invisible transparent shells to some areas, playing the roles of fog, dizziness, and defense against electronic devices. The outside world could not see the situation inside from any angle. Of course, I didn’t think it really happened, but… today…” Oliver shook his head as he spoke. He had never heard of anything like that before. However, he saw it with his own eyes that day.
As soon as Isaac entered the room, he was shocked. Then he looked around in a daze.
No one could imagine that there was a blessed land hidden in the Enchanting Hollow!
The electronic devices he brought were restored at this time, but there was still no signal from his phone.
Gabriel just shook his head. It was impossible to believe there would be such a hidden formation diagram in the world.
Oliver suddenly thought, “There are many secret areas in the world, such as Blallas Triangle. Are those secret areas that science can’t explain hidden by this formation diagram?”
Gunther took out the original map drawn by Oliver and compared it. Gabriel also looked at it carefully, then pointed to an isolated peak far away and said, “It should be there.”
Gunther nodded and then ordered Louis, “Lou, it’s late. Set up a tent and start the fire. We will rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning.”
Even though it was visible from this point, the slope would not be less than 11 to 18 miles. There were no paths in the mountains or jungles. It might take a day to get there.
However, Gunther was so happy that he could come in and see such strange scenery. He felt lucky to have survived Enchanting Array.
Oliver walked over but did not help build the tent or cook. He simply sat on a rock, thinking about Enchanting Array. Even though he could identify it with his eyes, he could not figure out its principle and how it worked.
He wondered, “How did it play the functions of fog, ecstasy, dizziness; comment?”
In the formation diagram in his mind, he found that there was a big dot larger than other green dots. He thought, “Was it the key to this formation diagram?”
However, after looking at it closely, the big green dot was not in this direction but on the opposite side of the circle.
There were only 25 to 31 miles if one walked in a straight line. However, there were mountains and jungles in the middle. It was basically impossible to walk straight. They would have to make a detour.
However, the distance would be at least two or three times longer if they made a detour. Hence, walking for two or three days was normal.
He thought Günther and the others would not accompany him to find such a secret. Of course, he could not tell them about the secret because he could not think of any excuse to explain it
After escaping from Enchanting Fog, Louis asked to do roasted meat and prepare wine. It had been difficult for them in the past few days.
It was dark after dinner. Louis still arranged for three subordinates to take turns to guard for safety.
Holding a map in their hands, Gunther and Gabriel discussed with each other in the tent.
Oliver was writing and drawing with a notebook in his tent. He was also studying the formation diagram in his mind. The more he looked at it, the more mysterious he felt it was.
Outside the tent, a sound rang twice. Isaac’s head popped into the entrance of the tent. “Oliver, Mr. Eastwood, can I come in and talk to you for a while?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Oliver nodded. “Come in.”
After Isaac came in, he sat opposite Oliver and handed him a cigarette with a smile. “Want one?”
Oliver shook his head and said, “Thank you. I don’t smoke.”
Isaac quickly put away the cigarette and stuffed it into a cigarette box. “Then, I will bear it for a while so as not to stink your tent. Oliver…”
After saying these words, Isaac hesitated and thought for a long time before adding, “I’ve heard about this fog. Enchanting Hollow is said to be a place filled with deities. Of course, I don’t believe it at all. My uncle and my ancestors entered the Enchanting Hallow and never went out again. They died there, so it was an irrevocable shadow for me. I was afraid, but today…”
Isaac’s eyes turned red as he spoke. Sobbing, he continued, “Oliver, thanks to you today. I can see the scenery here after escaping Enchanting Fog. Perhaps it is the greatest blessing in my life. The old man said that it is all through fate in Enchanting Hollow. I just want to ask you what exactly this wall-like fog is. Since you can get in, you must know its secrets. I want you to tell me about it. Also, is there really a drug that can cure Mr. Fox’s terminal illness at the place where you’re going?”
