Chapter 739: Chapter 602 Guess What You’re Thinking_2 Chapter 739: Chapter 602 Guess What You’re Thinking_2 They seed to be connected, but in reality, they might be very far apart.
Very strange.
It was like being in a flowing river, every entry and exit, though of the sa river, led to completely different locations.
But how would this explain the destruction of the tree by Yatagarasu Kensumi?
Was it a disguise? A deception by the environnt to bewilder intruders, or had they really never left?
After a while, neither Yatagarasu Kensumi nor Uma gave Roger any response.
Roger didn’t plan to just wait around, but just as he decided to search for Yatagarasu Kensumi in the air, Uma’s voice rose up from deep within his heart.
“Master, I’ve found sothing.”
Roger suppressed his Spiritual Energy, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
“Go underground, this area’s ground and sky are completely separated, and both areas have their own rules of operation, not completely static.”
“In fact, this forest is of course not as large as what you see, that should be an overlap extension, only what is closely encountered is real.”
“In this case, as long as the rules are in proper motion, you can ensure that you are always within them.”
“As long as it’s not an instantaneous departure, you can trap those who wander in forever.”
Uma explained for a bit.
Roger nodded, though there were still so unclear points, this mostly matched his prior prediction.
It was naturally impossible to wait in place and clarify everything before acting; with limited conditions, he had to take things one step at a ti.
“Underground is perated with dark energy, very dangerous, but I can use Shadow’s Power to envelop you, and then break free from this area.”
Uma paused, “We can give it a try.”
“Good, then what are we waiting for?”
Roger urged and then added another question as sothing else occurred to him, “Will this put a heavy burden on you?”
While in Europe, Uma’s combat prowess was quite comndable, and she could be of great use, but after arriving in Sunrise, as Roger continued to improve,
Uma’s ability to contribute had diminished significantly, and Roger did not want a repeat of what happened during the teleportation.
“No… not at all.”
Uma hesitated a bit.
“That’s a relief!” Roger let go of his worry, and after waiting for a mont, the shadow behind him writhed as Uma enveloped him.
For so reason, Roger felt the entire process was much slower than usual, but he didn’t overthink it, assuming it was Uma’s adjustnt to the special environnt.
Once everything was ready, just as Roger was about to break the ground and burrow underneath, a voice ca through, and in the next second, the figure of Yatagarasu Kensumi appeared on the spot.
“Kensumi?!”
Roger tensed up in caution, the disappearance and withdrawal of Yatagarasu Kensumi were too abrupt, in this environnt, he couldn’t help but overthink.
“Don’t worry, it’s .”
Before Roger could speak, Yatagarasu Kensumi flashed a smile, and the aura of the Three-legged Crow flickered across him.
“Where do you plan to go?”
Yatagarasu Kensumi looked at Roger, glanced at the ground beneath Roger’s feet and said, “You aren’t planning to go underground, are you?”
“That would be too dangerous.”
“There are countless dark energies underground, and if you rashly enter, unable to hide yourself, your life force will beco the best nourishnt for this land.”
“Co with , I’ve found the correct path to that towering tree.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi waved his hand.
Throughout this, Roger remained silent.
Indeed, he had nothing to say, having proven himself while also dissipating Roger’s thoughts, following Yatagarasu Kensumi seed to be the right choice at the mont.
Although Uma could protect him, there was naturally no need for Roger to expose himself under these circumstances.
He felt there was sothing odd about Yatagarasu Kensumi, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was.
Just as Roger was about to ask Yatagarasu Kensumi what he had experienced, he heard his voice in front.
“This place’s ground and sky are two separate areas, iryu was right, below is like a labyrinth, unless you can completely destroy the entire area.”
“But if that were done, before even finding the towering tree, we’d likely expose ourselves and then be surrounded and torn apart by swarming monsters.”
“It was only after I flew up into the air just now that I noticed so peculiarities.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi slowed his steps slightly.
“The sky and the ground, both correspond to a defensive chanism, designed to handle different intruders, but the cleavage between the two will eventually be discovered by soone.”
“At that ti, most people will try a plan that looks dangerous but has a high chance of success with careful execution.”
“That is to venture underground.”
Roger nodded slightly, despite so risks, most people would at least try it out, and if things went south, they could exit in ti.
“But exactly this seemingly optimal choice could be a fatal trap.”
“One try might cost your life.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi spoke gravely.
“And the real way out is not underground, but in the sky!”
As he spoke, Yatagarasu Kensumi extended his hand, a soft power lifting Roger’s body as they rose into the air, and the next mont, an endless forest appeared below, with a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, faintly visible in the far distance.
“The problem lies right there.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi pointed casually.
“Think about it, why would the surrounding environnt lead us astray? Isn’t a constant, unchanging scenery more deceptive?”
“That slightly taller maple tree and the decaying deadwood are actually hinting at us, telling us that we are very close to our real target!”
Roger frowned.
“You want to ask how I found out, don’t you?”
“Haha!”
Yatagarasu Kensumi laughed out loud, “To tell the truth, there was a bit of luck involved. I can only say this is fate!”
As he spoke, his spiritual power suddenly burst forth, shooting straight at a certain spot.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of sothing dense echoed in the void, and in the next mont, it seed as if a barrier had been broken. Their bodies surged forward, and when they touched ground, Roger realized that the pillar of light far in the distance was now right before his eyes.
And they had broken through the outer halo to appear in the inner core.
A gigantic tree rose up from the ground!
“We’ve arrived!”
Yatagarasu Kensumi turned around, and Roger saw at the base of the great tree, a dark endless pathway that led who knows where.
“Follow , I think the place ntioned by iryu is down there!”
“As long as we find the Flower of Eternal Darkness, my father can be saved!”
Excitent was unmistakable on Yatagarasu Kensumi’s face.
But Roger stopped in his tracks.
It was too eerie.
From the ti Yatagarasu Kensumi left to his appearance, and until reaching this towering tree, everything went so smoothly that it raised suspicions.
Moreover, there were too many contradictions in Yatagarasu Kensumi’s story that could not be reconciled without close consideration. Even without much thought, Roger could find nurous flaws.
“You think there are so holes in what I just said?”
Yatagarasu Kensumi asked.
Roger didn’t say a word.
“You must think everything has been going too smoothly.”
“Perhaps this person before you has been bewitched by so strange monster.”
“Or perhaps, he is no longer Yatagarasu Kensumi.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi’s face was calm, but he kept asking questions in succession.
At first, Roger noticed nothing, but soon a thought jumped to his mind.
“He actually knows what I’m thinking?”
“He actually knows what I’m thinking…”
It was Yatagarasu Kensumi’s voice, his expression unchanged, but the tone was indescribably creepy.
“He actually does know.”
“He actually does know,” Yatagarasu Kensumi said slowly, only his tone was lighthearted, and his eyes held a hint of amusent.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?”
Roger frowned, his expression turning grave.
“No good!”
“This guy can really know the thoughts bubbling up in my mind. I need to think of a way…”
Yatagarasu Kensumi looked relaxed, his gaze filled with mockery as he looked at Roger.
“Heh heh, you’ve found out.”
“Let guess what you’re thinking?”
“Oh… You do have so willpower, actually managing to clear your mind of distractions.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi pretended to shake his head.
“Too bad, your defense is already useless. Let try…”
“What do you plan to do next?”
Suddenly he spoke, and although the voice was not loud, it violently penetrated Roger’s eardrums and pierced into his mind, sending his thoughts into turmoil.
“Oh?”
“Thinking of leaving here?”
Yatagarasu Kensumi frowned.
“Shadow’s Touch?”
“Uma?”
“What is that?” He looked at Roger, turning his head to the side.
Hearing those two words, Roger’s heart sank sharply!
