Chapter 574: Chaos (1) (2/2)

The black birthmark on her forehead already turned gray—the birthmark would fade away soon.

”Where should we build our camp then?” She wondered.

Angele did not respond, he just pointed in a direction.

Fra looked where he was pointing at.

In front of the vibrant forest, there was a snow mountain standing there quietly. The tip of the mountain was surrounded by white mist.

The snow on the mountain reflected the sunlight; the light almost blinded Fra.

”That's a tall mountain…”

Angele smiled and patted Fra's head.

”Check our inventory and see how long we will last on the mountain. Also, we need to feed this ox.”

”Sure…”

Fra started checking the items in the cart.

Angele closed his eyes and started his daily routine. He was still searching for a way to enter the portal of the painting.

The portal he observed would change slightly every day; the color of the portal would change slightly due to the energy waves and return to normal after a while.

Angele's long research helped him to find the secret, he noticed that the energy wave was what decided if the portal would accept unknown things or not.

He tried to figure out how the energy wave worked and when the energy wave was the weakest so that he could send his mentality wave deep into the portal.

Analyzing the force field was the hardest part, there were so many waves and frequencies he needed to record. The whole process would take him a long time. The biochip indicated that only two percent of the analysis was completed. If he wanted to explore the portal using his mentality wave, it would still take a long time.

It was already afternoon when Angele opened his eyes. The orange sunlight was coming from the sky, Angele and the cart's shadows were long on the ground.

'Eight hours passed. Progress saved.' Zero's voice echoed in his ears.

Angele inhaled deeply and checked the surroundings. The tall trees had brown tree trunks and were slightly wet. The leaves on the branches were dark-green and some of them were covered with white frost.

The ox already stopped moving and its tail was swinging in the air.

The place was deadly silent, there was no insect or creature making noise.

Angele glanced around and jumped off the cart. He looked at Fra—she was sleeping in the cart with the sword in her arms.

He walked around the cart and stopped in front of a bush. He slowly reached into the bush and suddenly grabbed.

*PA*

He grabbed the neck of a young leopard and moved it out of the bush.

*Roar*

The young leopard was struggling in Angele's hand and trying to scare Angele away with its voice. It kept scratching Angele's skin using its claws but nothing worked.

”This area is terrorized by black leopards? Maybe I can follow it to…” Angele dropped the leopard and it landed safely on the ground.

The leopard stood up and ran away immediately.

Angele followed after the leopard for about two minutes and saw a small river ahead. On the other side of the river, there was an arched gate that was made of wood. The gate was built in the hill, it looked like an entrance to an underground tunnel.

There were yellow stripes on the tightly closed wooden doors. The edges of the gate were white and there were two torch stands on both sides of the gate. There was no torch on the stands but Angele could see the ash left on them.

Angele slowed down and looked around the river. The river came from the hill and was running down the forest. The river was so long that Angele could not see the end of it.

The river was around two meters wide and there was water grass in it.

”That's it…”

Angele was not concerned about the leopard. He returned to the oxcart and drove it to the gate. It took him about ten minutes to finish the process. He let the ox drink water by the river and returned to the cart. He closed his eyes and started resting.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Two gray shadows appeared by the river after a while.

The one in the front was Heli, there were bloody wounds on his face. He was carrying a weak man in gray on the back while moving forward slowly.

The feminine man was following after the two with a blank expression on the face. The white outfit he was wearing was still clean but Heli's outfit was greatly damaged.

Heli raised his head and looked at the river, he quickly found Angele's oxcart.

”Cough…”

The man with green eyes was dying on Heli's back. He spat out some blood, which splashed on Heli's shoulders.
