Chapter 79
Oliver could only shrug.
Even if he knew it, he would never tell anyone about this secret, such as his visual identification skills.
“Isaac, I can’t explain this to you. If you insist, I can only say it was a coincidence. I once read about
some ancient force field in an old manuscript, including Enchanting Array. I roughly remember its safe
route. It…”
Oliver searched the words in his mind while speaking. “I don’t quite understand it. There seems to be a
shadow of the Eight Doors Formation in this formation diagram. The only thing I remember is ‘Door of
Life, so I took you out through it.”
Isaac was utterly confused and could understand nothing.
This was just to coax him. If it were Gabriel, Oliver would not have fooled him because Gabriel would
understand.
Gabriel was familiar with the Eight Formations and Eight Doors. If he wanted to walk out of Enchanting
Array through the Door of Life, it would be wishful thinking.
It was not that simple.
There were many supreme figures among the common folk. Many of them understood formation
diagrams and the Eight Doors Formation. It was confusing how no one could solve Enchanting Array in
Enchanting Hollow.
Isaac went back to his tent in disappointment.
Before coming here, he thought he was the most important person in the whole team. No one else had
ever been to Mount Rockenan or seen Enchanting Hollow. No one knew better than him.
However, he could not bring anyone in after spending a whole day inside Enchanting Fog. They would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstill be trapped in Enchanting Array if it were not for Oliver. Perhaps they would have died being
trapped inside.
If they could not get out of Enchanting Array after they finished their food and water, they would starve
or thirst to death.
Yet, the youngest man took them out of Enchanting Array. Isaac instantly thought of himself as a
dispensable person.
Sienna came in as soon as Isaac left. Oliver took out his sleeping bag and put it on the blanket and
said to her, “Sienna, you should rest early. I think we’ll have to be ready earlier tomorrow!”
Sienna nodded but did not sleep first. Instead, she sat on the blanket and looked at him with her chin
propped up.
Sienna did not intend to avoid suspicion at night. She wanted to sleep in the same tent with Oliver.
Wayne and Simon’s tent was next to theirs, so they could react as soon as there was any movement.
Oliver opened his sleeping bag, laid it out properly, and looked at Sienna. As he saw her pretty face
facing him in a daze, he could not help but pinch her cheek.
If it had been before, Sienna would have thrown Oliver over her shoulders, letting him taste the pain of
taking advantage of her.
Now, as if the tender femininity deep in her heart had been awakened, Sienna gazed at Oliver
thoughtfully, smiled, and said in a low voice, “Oliver, how did you take us out of that fog wall today?”
Sienna was a police officer. She naturally wanted answers when she noticed any problems.
Of course, she was intrigued by the peculiar incident that day.
Oliver pondered for a moment.
Sienna asked him again, “If we didn’t come here and kept staying outside or within the fog wall, we
wouldn’t have known about the secret inside. I think anyone would be puzzled after going in. Was that
circular fog formed naturally? I don’t think so, but if it was artificial, what could they have done to make
such an inconceivable thing?”
Oliver pondered briefly before saying, “Sienna, I wouldn’t have told anyone about this, but you are my
closest person, and I don’t want to lie to you. I know some secrets about the fog wall but not all of it. I’m
also still figuring things out. I can’t tell you about some things. I can make excuses to lie to others, but I
don’t want to lie to you.”
Sienna was delighted to hear Oliver saying she was his closest person. It sounded nice.
Forget it. I won’t ask any further. If I understand it, I will look into it, but I won’t ask further if I don’t
understand. I’m only following you. There is nothing to be afraid of.” Sienna stretched as she said, “Ah,
I’m sleepy!”
Wayne, Simon, and Gunther’s six bodyguards totaled eight people. They divided two people into one
tent and dispersed into four directions to guard the periphery.
There were three tents within the perimeter. Oliver and Sienna occupied one tent, Gunther and Hailey
in one tent, and lastly, Gabriel and Isaac in the third tent.
In the evening, Gunther and Gabriel chatted until almost early in the morning before they went back to
their respective
tents to rest.
After Gunther entered the tent, he saw Hailey’s back facing him. He did not know if she was truly
asleep and only heard the sounds of her soft breathing
Gunther sighed and sat on the sleeping bag in a daze, thinking, “How this trip will end?”
At least they made progress by entering Enchanting Fog. Gunther felt Oliver was getting harder and
harder to understand.
Suddenly, a deep, eerie, and terrifying roar echoed not far away.
Gunther froze. Hailey turned over and sat up abruptly, asking him in surprise, “Dad, what’s that sound?”
Outside, Louis’ voice sounded, “Everyone, scatter into a circle. Jack, add more firewood to make it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrighter.”
Wayne and Simon also emerged to protect them.
Louis’ men threw out a handful of guns and several boxes of bullet clips to each of them.
Six of them, plus Wayne and Simon, were all armed with semi-automatic AK-47s, with formidable
short-range firepower.
*After obtaining the guns, Wayne and Simon inserted the clips and unlocked the safety bolt. Their
movements were skillful
and quick. It was obvious they were adept at handling guns.
Louis and the others were slower than Wayne Simon. The difference in capabilities was immediately
evident.
Oliver and Sienna were also awakened and got out of their tent. The fire in the middle of the field
crackled as the bright flames illuminated the surrounding.
Everyone could not see clearly what was going on under the night sky. In the spots not shone on by the
fire, pairs of bright green dots lurked in the darkness sinisterly.
They looked like a pair of eyes, and they were moving.
Sienna subconsciously touched her waist, only to find she was not carrying a gun.
Gunther looked at the pairs of green dots in the dark and asked Louis nervously, “Lou, what is that?”
Louis shook his head and said, “I don’t know what it is yet, but there are a lot of them. I’ll shine the light
on them.”
Louis took the lamp from his headlamp and turned on the switch as he spoke.
A blinding white light shone like a beam, and dark shadows sprinted in the light.
No one could see clearly what they were. They were not small and much larger than the average dog
in size. They were as big as a calf
Not to mention, those were the only ones seen under the bright light. They were actually surrounded by
them all around.
