Xu Ling's eyes lit up instantly, her dark pupils sparkling like stars in the sky. Without thinking, she reached out and took the divination ball, forgetting even to say thank you to Kaopu.
Her entire attention was drawn to the transparent sphere in her hand. The moment she held it, the information about the crystal ball that flashed through her mind kept her focused for a moment.
After learning about the function and how to use the divination ball, Xu Ling began using it without hesitation.
Xu Ling carefully held the crystal ball in both hands, then slowly raised it until it was level with her eyes.
Xu Ling stared intently at the flawless crystal ball before her. Then, she parted her lips slightly and asked her first question urgently: "Where is Ruth now?"
This is what she most urgently wants to know at this moment!
Before Xu Ling's voice had even faded, the crystal ball immediately began to change.
Suddenly, a thick cloud of black mist appeared in the center of the transparent crystal ball, just like a drop of ink accidentally falling into clear water.
The black mist appeared so obviously that Xu Ling's gaze immediately followed it.
Before she could get closer to take a closer look, wisps of black smoke began to emanate from the black mist, drifting and floating around the crystal ball.
The black smoke drifted and lingered, appearing light and moving very slowly, but in reality, it filled the entire crystal ball without anyone noticing.
Inside the crystal ball, a light ink painting suddenly appeared, but it vanished in an instant. The black smoke grew thicker and thicker, and soon the transparent and colorless crystal ball turned pitch black.
The darkness was so thick it was like nightfall, with not a single ray of light visible.
Apart from black, the crystal ball displayed nothing else.
Gazing at the lingering dark blackness within the crystal ball, Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What does this mean?"
She was a little confused about what was going on. Shouldn't they have shown where the little fairy was right after she finished asking the question?
What does this pitch-black area represent?
Does this indicate that the divination has just begun, or is this actually the result of the divination?
Xu Ling looked puzzled, but she soon understood the answer.
Because in the very next second, before she could react, the dense blackness inside the crystal ball suddenly contracted towards the center.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the surroundings returned to being transparent and colorless, leaving only a single drop of thick ink in the center. Then, with a "pop," that drop of ink vanished without a trace.
The crystal ball returned to its previous state.
Xu Ling stared blankly at the scene before belatedly realizing what had just happened.
"So, that was the result of divination?"
She looked down at Kaopu, a hint of surprise still lingering in her eyes.
The reliable person nodded firmly: "Yes."
I can't believe it's true!
Xu Ling felt a lump in her throat and didn't know what to say.
There was nothing there except blackness in that scene just now, how can that be considered a result?
But that's the truth; that's the result of the crystal ball divination!
Xu Ling opened her mouth, but thankfully her thoughts were still racing at that moment.
"So, so, does this mean that Ruth was in a place without light?"
This was the only answer she could guess; she had no other ideas.
"That's absolutely right!"
Recalling what had just happened, the crystal ball contained nothing but blackness, so that statement is indeed true.
Xu Ling muttered to herself, "Was Ruth kidnapped?"
It was pitch black all around, without a single ray of light; even the nights in this barren land were no different.
right!
Barren land!
Xu Ling had a sudden inspiration and couldn't help but mutter again, "Could it be that Ruth hasn't left the Barren Lands yet?"
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Ling's eyes lit up with joy.
However, this is just her own guess, so we still need to verify whether it's true or not.
Then, her gaze fell on the transparent crystal ball in her hand.
Xu Ling didn't ask immediately. Instead, she thought for a moment. This time, she asked, "Where are the bad guys who kidnapped Ruth?"
From the very first question she asked, "Where is Ruth?", the crystal ball responded with complete darkness. She had a vague feeling and a somewhat unspeakable guess arose—could it be that the crystal ball could only tell her the answer from the perspective of the subject asking the question?
Xu Ling wasn't sure, but she thought she could try this approach and see how the crystal ball would react.
However, no one expected the crystal ball to react so strongly.
As soon as Xu Ling finished speaking, the crystal ball did not react immediately as it had before.
At this moment, nothing happened inside the crystal ball.
Xu Ling was not anxious about this, but waited patiently.
Haste makes waste, and this time she didn't reveal the villain's name, making it a bit difficult, so the crystal ball needs to react.
