Unable to find Tingxue's whereabouts, the group decided to leave the area first.
Zuan had no choice but to follow the others and leave markers along the way, hoping that Tingxue could follow the guidance to leave after she escaped.
They quickly retraced their steps with the other guests and discovered that the strange rocks had indeed changed.
The man held a compass, the characters on it constantly changing in the air: "This encryption method may be unbreakable by many civilizations, but it's no challenge for me."
He had been seriously injured on the ship, but thanks to Isabella's elixir, he recovered quickly.
Having lost face in front of the young lady before, I'm determined to get my revenge this time.
His hands moved so fast they left afterimages as he manipulated the golden characters in mid-air.
The rocks in front seemed to be affected, constantly changing their positions.
The rocks shifted and rearranged, and gradually a completely different road appeared before everyone's eyes, while the rocks disappeared.
"You're amazing!" Isabella couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaim in sincere admiration.
“It is my honor to be appreciated by Miss Isabella,” the man said, giving Isabella a knightly salute. Fearing she might forget, he introduced himself again. “Speaking of which, all of this is thanks to your miraculous medicine, Miss. Otherwise, I would not have recovered so quickly.”
Isabella smiled sweetly: "Now that we're all in the same boat, we should naturally help each other. There's no need to worry too much."
A flash of disappointment crossed the fortune teller's eyes; the other party seemed to be indicating that he was no different from everyone else.
Thinking of the intimate way she was holding Zu An's arm, he figured it was because Zu An had just been too prominent that the young lady was moved. If he could shine brightly in the future, he could also make the young lady look at him differently.
So he said directly, "This happens to be my area of expertise, so I'll go ahead and pave the way."
After saying that, without waiting for Isabella's response, he walked ahead with an air of indifference.
Isabella stuck her tongue out at Zaun, clearly having seen too much of this kind of thing and feeling quite helpless.
If someone is willing to take the lead, others will naturally have no objections.
Of course, the fortune teller was not a reckless person. He knew the danger of going ahead, so he kept working on the compass with both hands, and golden light swept forward.
He turned to Isabella and smiled, "Miss, my divination skills are somewhat renowned. In case of any danger, my compass will give you a warning in advance."
Zu An suddenly frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart. But he noticed that the fortune teller's face seemed perfectly normal. Was he just overthinking things?
Just then, the fortune teller suddenly stopped, his whole body inexplicably halting.
He turned his head in confusion: "Huh, is there no road left...?"
When he saw that there was still a road ahead, his eyes first showed confusion, then a hint of fear flashed across them: "What is that? Why can't I move?"
The others were startled and stopped in their tracks: "What's wrong with you?"
All I saw was him gesturing wildly in place, even though there was nothing there.
"I feel like something is sticking to me..." Before the fortune teller could finish speaking, he was suddenly pulled into the sky with a whoosh.
Everyone hurriedly looked up, but it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.
"Everyone be careful!" Yani said solemnly, and the others also assumed fighting stances.
The next second, the fortune teller reappeared in front of everyone.
"What are you up to, fortune teller?" one of the guests couldn't help but shout. After all, with everyone's spiritual sense, they clearly couldn't sense anything, and the fortune teller himself was standing there perfectly fine, with no apparent problem.
Upon hearing his words, the fortune teller walked directly towards him.
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!" The man was startled. The way the other person was walking was really strange, and it had a ghostly feel to it.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Be careful, he's already dead."
As the lord of the underworld, he was exceptionally sensitive to death.
"What?" Everyone was shocked, because the fortune teller looked exactly the same as before, and he was moving around freely.
Just then, a strange smile appeared on the divination master's lips, and he suddenly pounced on the man.
Fortunately, Zu An reminded him, and the man was already prepared, directly knocking the fortune teller back with a single blow.
However, halfway there, the diviner suddenly defied the laws of physics and returned.
At this moment, his head turned directly to his back, and his limbs were twisted in an abnormal posture.
However, he moved extremely fast, lunging directly at the man.
"Bang!"
Yani threw a punch, instantly saving the man.
The fortune teller's body was also smashed to pieces.
But the next second, those severed limbs suddenly reassembled, forming a battered and broken fortune teller who relentlessly charged forward.
Seeing this, everyone felt their scalp tingle, and Isabella screamed in terror.
"Watch out!" Alfred's expression changed, and he shoved Isabella away.
Then, in the next second, he disappeared from the spot just like the fortune teller at the beginning.
"Uncle Alfred!" Isabella exclaimed, her face pale.
"There's something up there!" Zu'an hurriedly warned, but unfortunately their spiritual senses swept over it like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to perceive anything at all.
Isabella reacted quickly, hurriedly pulling out something resembling a flashlight from her small bag. When she turned it on, it was as if everyone had seen the sun; a bright beam of light illuminated the entire space.
