Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2080: Chapter 2081: The Traveler in the Birdcage

The door of the transparent tunnel can only be opened from inside the dome, and now the door is locked. This also indicates that the so-called Void creatures have not entered the interior of the dome.

Then where will they go?

Previously, it was judged that there were Void creatures here because of the barking of the Dalmatian. Does this mean the Dalmatian’s barking wasn’t indicating that a Void creature was captured?

Angel couldn’t help but look at the Dalmatian, which was standing beside Angel’s feet, gazing intently at a certain spot in the transparent tunnel. Although it wasn’t barking, Angel felt as if the Dalmatian really saw something.

If there truly are captured prey in the transparent tunnel, could it be like the Boiling Gentleman, an invisible creature?

”No wonder I didn’t feel the hunting net being triggered before; it’s you guys again,” the Boiling Gentleman suddenly remarked while Angel was in doubt.

A group of guys? Angel’s eyes flashed with surprise. So there really are Void creatures in this transparent tunnel, and not just one, but a whole group?

After sighing, the Boiling Gentleman stroked his chin: ”Oh my, what unlovely fellows, so weak they can’t even sustain the Power Furnace. If thrown into a decomposition pool, they wouldn’t even yield much energy. What use are you?”

”I spared you last time, threw you back into the Void, and yet here you are again. This time you won’t be so lucky. Let me think... I remember Dawashia said last time they needed labor for the fire furnace. One of you is difficult to fulfill the job, but since there are so many of you, the combined force might just fit.”

”You will stay in there for a while, and when I go to fetch my items from the Cross, I’ll take you along.”

Having finished speaking, the Boiling Gentleman looked at Angel: ”I originally intended to use a new Void creature to demonstrate the Power Furnace for Lord Shava, but it seems unlikely now.”

Angel felt a bit of regret but had no alternatives: ”Then let it be.”

”How can you just let it be? Although I can’t use a Void creature, there are alternatives. Lord Shava, please wait for a moment while I fetch a servant.” The Boiling Gentleman intended to return as he finished his words.

As the Boiling Gentleman headed towards the outside of the dome, Angel asked, ”By the way, what kind of Void creatures are stored inside here?”

Angel pointed towards the transparent tunnel.

The Boiling Gentleman paused, turned his head, and glanced: ”I don’t know their names. They look like a mass of snot jelly, weak creatures wandering aimlessly in the Void.”

The Boiling Gentleman paused for a moment and suddenly pointed to a corner on the left: ”Oh right, the ones over there are their kindred, covered by a black cloth. Their size is much larger than those outside, likely mutated. If Lord Shava is interested, feel free to research them.”

After saying this, the Boiling Gentleman hurriedly walked away.

Angel wasn’t concerned about the Boiling Gentleman’s departure. He wasn’t worried about being locked inside as the Dalmatian was there; if he did get trapped, he could let the Dalmatian break through the light shield into the Void.

What Angel was pondering now were the words the Boiling Gentleman said before leaving.

Like a snotty jelly, aimlessly wandering weak creatures in the Void... and they can turn invisible. Combining these three points, a name popped up in Angel’s mind.

To see if it truly is the creature he imagined, he would only need to go and check.

Angel quickly walked to where the Boiling Gentleman had pointed earlier near the black cloth.

The black cloth covered a cylindrical object. Even without pulling off the black cloth, Angel could tell that the cylinder beneath it should be a cage.

After unveiling the black cloth, a golden ornate birdcage was indeed revealed.

A peculiar power existed on the birdcage, enshrouding it entirely, preventing the creature within from escaping despite the large gaps.

Angel observed the interior of the birdcage; to the naked eye, it appeared empty.

However, due to the absence of the transparent tunnel’s isolation, Angel used his spiritual power to sense and picked up on a form.

A form that filled the birdcage to the brim.

”Indeed,” Angel thought as realization dawned upon him. Through the lens of spiritual power, a soft, floppy snotty creature appeared in the birdcage.

Though this snotty creature was many times larger than what he had previously seen, Angel still recognized its identity at a glance.

——Void Traveler.

Speaking of which, the reason Angel was compelled to enter the Duling Garden was partly because of the uninvited Misty Goldlady. But the main reason was that he bumped into a Void Traveler when leaving the ancient passage.

Had it not been to evade the sudden attack launched by the Void Traveler, Angel wouldn’t have leaned against the wall and been directly embraced by Misty Goldlady, dragging him into Duling Garden?

Therefore, the Void Traveler was the true cause of trouble.

Previously, Angel always assumed that the Void Travelers were accomplices of Nightmare Realm creatures. But seeing this imprisoned Void Traveler today and recalling the Boiling Gentleman’s attitude towards Void Travelers, as well as the information Sanders provided upon entering the Wilderness of Dreams: the Void Traveler did not possess any Nightmare Realm aura.

Combining all of this, it seems they aren’t aligned with Nightmare Realm creatures?

So, when he bumped into the Void Traveler at the passage entrance, it truly was an accident?

However, Angel couldn’t quite understand why the Void Travelers, if they weren’t associated with Nightmare Realm creatures, relentlessly showed up in the ruins?

Lord Reine once mentioned that Void Travelers are weak, timid creatures that instinctively shy away from all beings, including humans. Therefore, the probability of encountering them in the Void is extremely low, almost zero.

Why would such cowardly creatures swarm here like this?

It’s a bit peculiar.

”You bastards bathed in the blood of the Liani Magic Whale, release my kin!”

Angel was taken aback; how did it feel like his Spirit Tentacle received some strange message?

Angel turned his head, puzzled, first looking at the Dalmatian beside his feet: ”Are you sending me a message?”

The Dalmatian looked at him innocently, tongue out, tail wagging joyfully.

”Not you,” Angel affirmed.

After glancing around, Angel’s gaze finally settled on the golden ornate birdcage, at the enlarged version of the Void Traveler sensed by spiritual power.

”Is it you trying to communicate with me?”

Soon, Angel’s Spirit Tentacle received another indignant message: ”Quickly, release my kin!”

”It’s indeed you,” Angel remarked, somewhat surprised, as he looked at the Void Traveler. Could it possibly communicate with humans through spiritual power?

This was entirely a knowledge gap!

Of course, also due to the Void Travelers being so rare, the entire Wizards’ Realm lacked information on them.
