Chapter 958: Chapter 601: The Watcher on the Lonely Island_2
In just a moment, more than twenty huge swords with cold glint quickly condensed around the “Wild Man,” pointing in front of him.
After completing all these preparations, the “Wild Man” sharply gazed towards the direction where Leo Ray and others were, trying to discern something, but ultimately found nothing.
As a Tier 4 Nine-Star, he naturally could not see through the effect of the Invisibility Cloak.
Staring blankly at the spot for a while, a heavy sigh came out, and the “Wild Man” shook his head helplessly, dissolving the floating giant swords around him.
“Did I wake up in a daze? This place is a rarely visited Outer Region, so how could someone casually come here?”
A lost and frustrated middle-aged male voice sounded, and the “Wild Man” with a beard on his face sat down on the ground.
He muttered to himself, “Besides a Storm Demon Python that came on the 1026th day and a Purple Steel Giant Crawler that came on the 2350th day, I haven’t seen any living things for 805 days.”
“Ah, those two poor creatures, I so much wished to chat with them, even becoming friends would be fine, but they just bared their fangs and claws at me, wanting to make me into a delicious delicacy…”
“If a living person appears now, even if it makes me kneel, I will willingly do so, as long as they can talk to me, and let me do anything.”
At this moment, the greasy and unkempt middle-aged man, whose face was almost covered by his dense beard, sighed heavily again, turned his face to one side and said, “Right, Jerry?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray followed the man’s gaze and found that he was talking to a fist-sized rock next to the tent.
After talking to the rock for a while, the “Wild Man” frowned and said, “No, you are Marcus. I took Jerry to the latrine behind us the day before yesterday…”
Seeing this scene, Leo Ray pursed his lips slightly.
From the man’s words, he had apparently been here for more than 3,100 days and had never encountered humans.
“The year in this world is coincidentally the same as on the Earth, 365 days, so this guy has been here for almost nine years, huh? That’s quite unexpected.”
“From his casting just now, this guy should be a rare Metal System Magic powerhouse. No wonder he could till such a hard ground into a field.”
“I must say, this is like a lonely watchman on an island in this Endless Passage.”
“Although it can’t be compared to Leah, who stayed in the Land of Divine Favor for three thousand years, for a human powerhouse in his prime years, nine years is the most important period of life, let alone being trapped in this dark and never-ending Endless Passage.”
As he looked at the man murmuring to himself in the distance, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “With that said, as a Tier 4 Peak Great Mage, he already stands out from the ordinary. Even outside, he would be a well-known powerhouse, enough to make every aristocratic family, and even royal families waver.”
“Since we’ve met by chance, let’s try to make contact and see, maybe he can be of use to me.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray took off the Invisibility Cloak while nodding at his subordinates beside him.
On the other side, the subordinates understood and also removed their Invisibility Cloak.
“Ahem.”
After revealing their figures again, Leo Ray lightly coughed to attract the man’s attention.
“What will his reaction be when he sees me?”
As he coughed, Leo Ray couldn’t help but slightly raise an eyebrow.
“By the way, Marcus, you were dug up by me from the ground just after lunch yesterday. You haven’t met Jerry yet, have you? I’ll introduce you in a while. He is a nice guy who accompanies me to the toilet every day…”
As the “Wild Man” squatted on the ground, gently caressed the rock in front of him, and talked to himself,
Leo Ray’s cough had already reached his ears.
“Huh?”
Hearing Leo Ray’s voice, the bearded middle-aged man paused, then shook his head helplessly, and subconsciously looked towards Leo Ray, muttering, “Am I starting to hear things…”
As he said this in disappointment,
Except for Taylor, who was their trump card, the figures of Leo Ray and the others had already entered his view.”?!”
Seeing Leo Ray at the front, the middle-aged man was stunned once again.
After a moment, he first lowered his head, reached out his hands, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked at the group again.
Only then did he finally confirm that he had neither misheard nor experienced a hallucination!
The next second, a touch of uncontrollable ecstasy emerged from the “wild man’s” bearded face.
“You, you guys…”
However, before he could finish speaking, he became too excited, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
“Is this really a Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse capable of easily taking on thousands? Why does it feel somewhat similar to a certain Tier 4 One Star guy?”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile.
Still, just to be safe, before approaching him, Leo Ray signaled Scarlet, Gideon Black, and Joshua to go ahead and check the man.
“Master, this guy really just fainted.”
After a while, the crisp and refreshing voice of Joshua was heard by Leo Ray: “Although this guy is a Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse, a significant part of the energy circuit within his body is slow to circulate. This indicates that he has been malnourished and barely sustaining himself.”
“Makes sense. How could he not faint with these broken vegetable leaves every day, without any oil or seasoning?”
Scarlett, on the other hand, bounced over and said with wide eyes, “If it were me, I’d need at least one Frost Sheep to survive here every day…”
“You foodie girl, why don’t you go to heaven.”
Casually pinching Scarlett’s dirty little face, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then gave his order, “Don’t rush to wake him up. Let’s investigate the surroundings first.”
As he spoke, after signaling Scarlet, Gideon Black, and Joshua to stay and look after the “wild man,” the group began to explore the surroundings.
Upon further examination, Leo Ray noticed that there were no special features or additional paths here. The only entrance and exit were the way they had come in.
After attempting to navigate, Leo Ray discovered that this was a special reverse Endless Passage.
The principle wasn’t like a Mobius Ring connecting the two ends, but more like an endless Klein bottle.
That is to say, once you step into this spacious underground space, you’ll never get out if you always move forward, unless you turn back.
Of course, for the group who had already mastered the hidden backdoor, there was no problem.
In addition, what was even more eye-catching was the cave wall next to the triangular tent.
Carved densely with 3155 vertical slashes, it almost filled an entire wall.
This undoubtedly meant the time the bearded middle-aged man had been trapped here.
“Just gazing at this wall, I can almost feel his despair of not being able to get out.”
Taking a deep breath of the damp air, Leo Ray shifted his gaze from the mottled cave wall in front of him.
Then, he stepped forward and returned to the side of the fainted “wild man.”
Apart from this, the group did not gain anything else or find any information about the man’s identity.
“A Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse, he certainly wouldn’t be an unknown nobody. Let me personally ask him who he is.”
With a nod to Gideon Black and Joshua, Leo Ray smiled slightly and said, “You can wake him up now.”
What do you think?
