Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1361

Darren and his companions hovered above, looking down but not daring to go there themselves.

This was because the Archean Demonic Ape had blocked the cave Akbar was in and trapped him and the others in.

"Sir, do you have any way of sending a message in there, while avoiding detection by the Archean Demonic Ape?" Darren asked the Primitive Emperor.

"I can certainly try."

The Primitive Emperor possessed the Archean god's power and although it was not the strongest, it was at least difficult for the Archean Demonic Ape to understand or even make it out when he used it.

"I'm afraid I'm unable to do it. The ape has blocked off the entire area below and my god's sense can't penetrate it," the Primitive Emperor said, his voice low with disappointment at his failure.

Their current predicament was a hard nut to crack.

The great masters had sent secret letters, requiring the young talents to come in and rescue them, but how were they supposed to accomplish that? That question remained unanswered.

And there were other issues still; what about the other big shots besides Akbar? Where were Lord Starry Sword and Finley's real body?

"Let's go around, and see if there is a better vantage point somewhere else."

Darren felt that staying here was futile. They had to learn more about this place if they hoped to discover a way to rescue these great masters.

With their current strength, saving those masters was no more than a wistful dream. After all, even the weakest trapped were at the Superior God Realm.

"Agreed."

They backed off a little, bypassed the area guarded by the Archean Demonic Ape and continued making their way north.

They had flown tens of thousands of kilometers when Darren and his companions were surprised to come across plants on the ground.

They had already withered and dried up, but it was not difficult to imagine that this place had once been a dense primitive forest.

"There is someone nearby,"

the Primitive Emperor said with caution as he detected many auras.

"Let's head down and investigate."

They landed, and to their astonishment, found that hundreds of humans from the outside had gathered in the withered forest.

The human talents saw people coming and watched vigilantly. When they turned out to be human beings themselves, their nerves calmed and relief flowed through them all.

"Ah, it's the avatar of my master..."

someone said, immediately recognizing Finley and flying over to welcome him.

"What are you all doing here?" Finley asked.

"We were summoned to gather here. Did you not receive these messages of summons from our master? But you should have. That is very curious."

As it turned out, all these people had received telepathic messages from their masters and had gathered here. But for some reason, Darren and his companions had not received anything from anyone.

"Of course I have. Come on, why wouldn't I?" Finley said calmly, trying to save face.

"It seems we have been neglected," he then complained once the other geniuses had gone off.

"That can't be the case. It makes sense that Darren and the two of us haven't received any message, but why haven't Weber, Sally and Beatty received any either?" Lindsay inquired when she realized the issue with Finley's thought.

She was right. Since both Lord Starry Sword and Finley's real body had informed Darren, there was no reason to purposely not send him a message. Not to mention that Sally and Beatty hadn't received messages either.

"Ahem." The Primitive Emperor cleared his throat awkwardly. "In order to avoid trouble, I have blocked some of the external waves from coming through, so that outsiders can't send messages to us."

"I knew it. There had to be something. How could our master not call us over?" Sally said, seeming to have understood everything now.

Everyone found a place to sit comfortably as the Primitive Emperor was about to put the shield down.

"Darren, you are here."

A cold voice crept into Darren's mind the moment the Primitive Emperor removed the shield of his god's power.

Darren recognized it as the voice of Finley's real body.

"Yes, I'm here," Darren replied.

"I'm glad you're still alive." Finley's real body had detected Darren many times but had not found any trace of his existence, so he had come to the conclusion that he was probably already dead. The Archean relic was really dangerous after all.

"What on earth happened? How do we rescue the trapped great masters?" Darren asked directly, not wasting any time.
