At that moment, Renault detected someone using their spiritual sense for pathfinding. He had used his spiritual sense to survey the area a moment ago and had not sensed any human aura. It had not been long since then, so why did he sense someone around now?
Though he did not know who these people were, he was still excited to meet other humans on the island. Soon, the other disciples of Stellaris Sect also sensed the approaching people and became thrilled.
“Old Mr. Seizon, should we release our spiritual sense to make a response?” asked one of the disciples. However, Renault waved his hand and said, “No, hide our auras for now. We’ll wait in silence. I’m sure they’ll be here soon. Let’s find out who they are first before making any moves.”
Renault was afraid that these people were from Cosmic Sect, here to wipe them out. After all, the Cosmic sect members had divine turtles to ride, and it would be easy for them to come to this island. Furthermore, they needed not to worry about getting capsized in a storm. Hearing Renault, Stellaris Sect’s disciples. quickly hid their aura and waited patiently.
“Mr. Chance, this island appears picturesque, with birds soaring overhead, but I can’t help but notice the absence of other wildlife since our arrival. It’s rather peculiar. I haven’t spotted a single ant, let alone other insects. It’s as if this island is unreal,” Cloud commented, his bewilderment evident as he surveyed the surroundings.
Jared did not speak, though his brows were gradually knitting together. Like Cloud, he had noticed something amiss about the island, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
Logically, a beautiful island like this would be full of wildlife. It would not even be strange if there were demon beasts, but oddly enough, it was quiet. Too quiet. Giant trees loomed overhead, yet the atmosphere felt eerily lifeless.
“Ms. Tall, in a while, we’ll-”
Jared wanted to say something to Quinley, but he turned around to find no signs of her. Immediately, he panicked.
“Cloud, where’s Quinley?” Jared questioned.Jared was leading the way while Cloud and Quinley trailed behind him. Therefore, Cloud should technically know when Quinley had gone missing.
“Isn’t Ms. Tall right behind me? Huh? Where did she go?”
When Cloud turned to see no traces of Quinley, he panicked as well.
“Ms. Tall!”
“Quinley!”
Both Jared and Cloud cried out for her. Their voices were imbued with spiritual energy, so they could reach far. Still, no one answered them, even after shouting for a while..
“How did this happen? Did she just vanish without a trace?”
Cloud was clearly at a loss. Meanwhile, Jared stood in his spot, carefully studying his surroundings. He, too, could not fathom why Quinley had disappeared.
If she had gone down a different path from them, she would still have heard their calls for her. If something had captured her, she should have had enough time to call for help. They had only been several meters apart, and yet, Quinley had gone missing from right under their noses.
“This is strange. Very strange.”
Frowning, Jared activated his illusion nascence. The sudden disappearance of Quinley made. Jared suspect that there was an illusion array on this island. It was the likeliest explanation.
Therefore, Jared wanted to find out if there was a gigantic illusion array on the island. As Jared released his illusion nascence, he cautiously observed his surroundings. However, he did not sense any arcane arrays around him.
At that moment, he felt a deep sense of confusion. Mason had entrusted Quinley to his care, emphasizing the importance of looking after her.
But in mere days, he had lost track of her completely.
