The purple-black light turned into a long straight line, passing through the palace, over the heads of countless clay sculptures below, and into the endless darkness above. The darkness began to flow slowly like melting mud, and at the same time, a big bubble appeared.
Shadows floated out of the darkness.
They screamed, laughed strangely, gathered together, and flew away.
A moment later, a roar came from the darkness. A desolate and ancient aura arose spontaneously. It was as if a sleeping creature had been awakened. The darkness suddenly became like the deep sea, making muffled sounds.
In next second, as a huge wave rolled up, a ball of white appeared in it, but it immediately disappeared into the darkness. That white color was like a part of a fishtail. However, even if it was only a small portion, it was still terrifyingly large.
Since the fishtail was still like this, the size of the whole fish was unimaginable.
The fishtail only writhed in the darkness and did not appear again. But, the darkness made people’s hearts palpitate even more. It was as if the cage, which originally locked a fierce beast, had become empty.
Since the cage was empty, the fierce beast inside was naturally released.

If it had not been for the occasional jolt, it would have been difficult for everyone to sense that they were moving forward.
The golden light wrapped around everyone and shuttled through the dark whirlpool. It was impossible to tell the speed without reference, but at least it was very stable. If their speed did not change, they would reach the center of the whirlpool in about an hour.
No one knew where it would lead to. That was because during this period of time, they had adapted to the darkness. Even Lucy, Renee, and others, who had experienced the least, were no longer as nervous as before.
Especially Lucy, at this time, she even stuck her face to the golden light, opened her eyes wide, and curiously looked into the darkness. Because she remembered that she had heard from Lady Maisie before that there were fish and dragons flying in the rolling clouds, so at this moment, she hoped to see them. But in the end, her eyes were sore, and she didn’t see anything else.
Darkness was darkness.
This feeling was like swimming in ink. Without special abilities, it was difficult for her to distinguish the surrounding changes.
After watching for a while, Lucy lost interest when she saw that there was no special change. However, just as she turned around and was about to go over and tease Little Candy, she seemed to hear something.
The voice came through the golden light.
Lucy’s heart skipped a beat. But she was not sure. In the past two hours, she had not heard a single sound coming from the enormous black whirlpool.
She looked at the reactions of the people present.
Everyone closed their eyes, either meditating or lost in thought. No one seemed to notice this unusual movement. In an instant, Lucy also thought that she had heard it wrong.
But then, another voice came. This time, the sound lasted longer than before. Not only that, but the sound was also mixed with some other sounds.
Lucy was sure that she had heard correctly. Because not only did she hear it, but she also saw that Little Candy’s ears were pricked up and its front paws were tight.
“What’s that sound?” Lucy turned around and looked a t the darkness outside the golden light again.
The darkness was deep, and the voice just now was very vague, so for a moment, she could not determine which direction the voice came from.
Ahead?
Back?
Just as Lucy pricked up her ears, hoping to catch the next sound, a figure suddenly stopped beside her. Lucy turned around in surprise and immediately saw Caspian, who had been meditating, looking out of the golden light with a serious face.
Caspian nodded and still looked ahead.
“I don’t know…” Caspian shook his head. “But I was sure just now that I heard a scream…”
The darkness here was easy to make people feel depressed. But now, after hearing what Caspian said, she suddenly had a rich imagination in her mind. This kind of imagination was the easiest to make people fall into fear.
At this time, not only Caspian but also the others had also stood up with serious faces.
