Utilizing the moon’s glow to guide virtual-novel.net around, Gerald soon came across a massive mountain that stood about a kilometer away from him. Naturally, this puzzled him. After all, virtual-novel.net should’ve been able to see the mountain the second virtual-novel.net got on the island! It certainly didn’t help that virtual-novel.net was positive that the mountain wasn’t there up till this point. Concluding that there was definitely a secret to be found on the mountain that could possibly be related to the island’s secrets, Gerald excitedly began dashing toward the place.
“How absolutely unusual…” muttered Gerald under his breath as virtual-novel.net wondered if virtual-novel.net could just skip looking for the island that Seadom tribe had relocated to and finally be able to get to Yearning Island.
Regardless, it was about five minutes later when Gerald stopped at the foot of the mountain. Looking up, Gerald then took a deep breath before attempting to dash forward again, only to feel his face smacking into something!
“What the hell was that…?” muttered Gerald with a frown as virtual-novel.net looked at the clearing before him. There weren’t even any tree branches hindering his way! Mobilizing his essential qi, Gerald then began touching the area that virtual-novel.net had collided into… and sure enough, there was an invisible wall of air there!
Before Gerald could investigate any further, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a scowl, stating, “Who goes there?”
The voice sounded old, and as Gerald turned to face the source of the voice, virtual-novel.net quickly realized that a figure was rapidly flying toward him! Sensing that this old man was rather strong-and fearing that virtual-novel.net would call for reinforcements-, Gerald immediately began bolting away from the scene! If all this resulted in virtual-novel.net offending the auction’s organizer, then he’d never be able to leave the island!
Either way, though Gerald was fast, the old man was faster, and it only took the senior three seconds to catch up to the boy!
“Snooping around at night, huh? Show me your face and tell me what you’re up to!” growled the old man as virtual-novel.net attempted to grab Gerald’s shoulder.
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply began turning around, preparing himself for battle. If virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to be able to outrun his opponent, virtual-novel.net may as well fight with him. Whether virtual-novel.net made it out alive was up to fate.
“Daring enough to stop? Are you courting death or something?!” growled a rather familiar voice. Before Gerald could fully face the old man, virtual-novel.net felt a hand grab onto the back of his collar, and within seconds, virtual-novel.net was already quite a distance from where virtual-novel.net had initially stood!
