Chapter 830 Into the Cloudy Forest
As Ren and the group rode on Tiki"s back, traversing the landscape, their voices mingled with the rustle of the wind and the rhythmic beat of Tiki"s nimble feet. They were deep in discussion, strategizing their next moves in their quest to find Lorelai. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation didn"t go unnoticed.
Somewhere unknown, in her little house, Pamela, the G.o.ddess of Fortune and Luck, peered into her crystal ball. A mischievous grin played on her lips as she observed the group on the crystal. Her pets, a pair of shimmering golden dragons, coiled around her shoulders, their eyes glowing with curiosity.
"I wonder what they"re up to," Pamela murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the crystal ball. "They seem to be mortals and planning something . . . intriguing."
Empowered by her divine gifts as the G.o.ddess of Fortune and Luck, Pamela possessed an innate intuition that foretold the events destined to alter her fate for the better.
However, whether she had the ability to seize the opportunity was an entirely different matter.
Pamela gleaned snippets of Ren and the others" conversation. Through her two dragon pet that could relay voices into her ears even from her crystal ball. She had caught wind of their mission to retrieve a half-demon, half-angel mortal. The revelation sent a thrill of excitement coursing through Pamela"s veins!
If she could obtain the power of such a unique being, she would ascend to unparalleled heights of power and prestige in the realm. No longer would she be ridiculed as the weak G.o.ddess of Fortune and Luck. This opportunity was too good to pa.s.s up.
But perhaps the most peculiar inhabitants of Cloudy Forest were the creatures that roamed its mist-shrouded depths. Instead of flesh and bone, these beings seemed to be formed entirely of clouds, their shapes shifting and changing with each pa.s.sing moment. They moved with a graceful fluidity, their forms twisting and spiraling in the air like wisps of smoke.
"Look at that!" Desira exclaimed, pointing to a group of cloud creatures frolicking among the trees. "They"re so . . . fluffy. Yuck."
"I wonder if they"re edible," Vivi said, saliva dripping form her mouth. Elena couldn"t help but giggle at the sight. "Now I know why they named this forest Cloudy Forest," she remarked, her eyes sparkling with delight.
Despite the otherworldly beauty of their surroundings, Ren couldn"t shake the feeling of unease that lingered at the edges of his consciousness. There was something unsettling about this place, something that whispered of hidden dangers lurking just out of sight.
"We should be cautious," he warned, his voice low and serious. "There"s no telling what we might encounter in these woods."
"Ren is right," Iraelyn a.s.serted, stepping forward with a determined expression. "Those creatures might appear cute, fluffy, and irresistible, but I have a feeling they"re poisonous. They might melt even your bones."
Vivi sighed, rolling her eyes. "Why do you always have to be so morbid?" she muttered under her breath.
"Let"s watch our backs, everyone," Azazel warned, his voice tinged with rare seriousness. "Usually, it"s places like this that pose the greatest dangers."
"For once, you"re making some sense," Ren remarked with a smirk. Must be his age. He thought. Azazel was getting mature and aging as he recovered his powers.
