I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 100

There were fire pits at the cave entrance, which made the tens of square feet of area suffused with red. Five tents were placed in a triangular shape, one in each corner surrounding another two in the middle.

Of the two tents in the middle, one housed Oliver and Sienna, and another housed Gunther and Hailey.

Hailey could not fall asleep. She was not afraid of those unknown dangerous animals, but she feared her father would never get up again after falling.

Although she knew every moment of Gunther being alive was precious now, she still felt pain at the thought of him.

Gunther lay on a small air pillow and coughed lightly from time to time. He could sense Hailey’s worriedness in her eyes and was distressed but could not do anything about it.

That night, no one rested well, and everyone finally stayed up until dawn.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Louis and Yoseph made a simple breakfast.

Breakfast was dehydrated vegetables and canned meat with a pot of gnocchi. Everyone else devoured as much as they could, except for Gunther and Hailey. If they did not replenish their strength, they would not have to energy to run for their life, let alone kill the monsters.

Hailey saw Gunther vomit in the bowl after having a few bites, and the gnocchi turned red.

Hailey instantly burst into tears.

“Dad, Dad.

Although Oliver had no feelings for Gunther, he could not help but feel sad seeing Hailey’s tearful face. However, he was afraid Sienna would be unhappy and just glanced at Hailey secretly.

Sienna snorted and said, “If you want to comfort her, just go ahead. What’s the point of glancing secretly at her? I’m not ___blind!”

Oliver smiled awkwardly and lowered his head

Sienna went over to comfort Hailey, “Don’t worry. Let’s set out early and find the destination as soon as possible. Maybe we will find what your father needs!”

Hailey nodded with tears in her eyes, but she was unsure if they could find the place, regardless of whether the thing existed.

Seeing Sienna comfort Hailey, Oliver felt grateful.

Everyone knew they were rushing to save time for Gunther, so they quickly packed up and set off after breakfast.

Oliver was still leading the way. He actually did not know the route, but Tristar Treasure Map appeared in his mind, so he followed the nearest path.

Plus, Oliver conducted visual identification first whenever he sensed danger ahead on the road. Once identification was completed, no threat could escape his eyes.

Under Oliver’s precise guidance, there was basically no more trouble along the way. Their speed was not too slow, and they did not encounter any mutant beasts that everyone was worried about.

In fact, Oliver guessed it was because he carried the Eye Sculpture. He found that the substance of the Eye Sculpture was special, and those mutant beasts were afraid of it.

Mount Rockenan ahead was right before their eyes, but they couldn’t reach there by dusk, even if they persisted. They did not dare to rush further at night and instead set up tents and raised fire to cook dinner.

Gunther seemed to have only one breath left.

The next morning, they had breakfast and set off. At noon, they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Rockenan.

When they arrived, everyone could clearly see the mountain looked like a sharp cone with sheer sides and no access roads around the cliffs.

Mount Rockenan was not very huge, with a diameter of no more than three miles and a height of about 6,500 feet. When one looked up, the mountain appeared like a steep cone. They wondered how to reach the peak.

The map in Oliver’s mind did not indicate the direction to hike up the mountain, and that “point” was located at the highest point of Mount Rockenan.

Oliver stared at the top of the mountain and was stunned. He did not know who else could go up unless the person had wings.

Others followed Oliver to look at the mountain with no access roads, but they were clueless about what was happening.

Only Gunther was a little frightened. He gasped and asked Oliver, “Oliver, on the map… where’s the designated location on the map?”

Oliver pointed at the top of Mount Rockenan and said, “On the top of this mountain!”

Gunther was shocked. He exclaimed in surprise, “On the top of the mountain? How are we going to hike up?”

He thought, “Unless we have a helicopter. But it’s impossible to get a helicopter here. There’s no time to go back to make the arrangements. I don’t have the time to wait, and the helicopter can’t get in due to the Enchanting Fog.”

In fact, Oliver knew what Gunther did not know. The entire Enchanting Hollow was isolated from the outside world by an array. Otherwise, satellite surveillance could settle the issue with current technological means.

The location on the map was at the peak of Mount Rockenan, but it did not mark the road

1.

Gabriel also looked at the mountain for a while and asked Oliver. “Does the map really show that that thing is on the mountaintop?”

Gunther also took out the hand-drawn map, and observed it carefully. He could only see the details on the map after arriving there. Once he extensively compared the map with the area, it was indeed the place.

Oliver did not lie or make a mistake. The location was accurate, but Gunther wondered how to hike up the mountain.

After considering for a while, Gunther ordered Louis, “Louis, you and Yoseph walk around the mountain to see if there is any other possible route to take.”

Louis nodded and beckoned Yoseph to walk in the right direction. Before leaving, he checked the intercom equipment with Wayne and Simón.

Of course, the equipment had no issue within the distance range, but it would be useless once they walked beyond the effective range of the equipment.

The two brought enough guns and bullets. Since Gunther was left behind with the others, Louis and Yoseph did not worry about him. He was safer with Wayne and Simon than with them.

Plus, Gunther could not command Wayne and Simon. He even could not instruct Oliver, who did not take a penny from him. The main reason for going there was that Oliver wanted to remove Blood Malediction from Sienna.

Based on a visual inspection of the size of Mount Rockenan, the circumference at the bottom was more than 6 miles. It would take only two or three hours to reach if walked slowly. One could tour the whole circle in one hour if one walked fast.

Oliver found a stone and sat down. Looking up at the mountain, he pondered and tried to find a way. He combined the first two tokens, map, and Eye Sculpture in his mind but was still clueless.

He wondered, “What about those mutant beasts? There are so many of the Great Wolf, Nocturna Heron, and those weird beasts in the cave. Why didn’t we see any of them? Where are they hiding?”

The whole Enchanting Hollow was a big piece of flat ground encircled by a steep and not climbable mountain. Mount Rockenan was surrounded by the Alpar River. At the outermost part was Enchanting Fog with some obstacles, which seemed to be guarding that mountain filled with dangers.

If so, there must be a way up the mountain. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Oliver found the situation very strange.

The more Oliver thought about it, the more confused he became. He wondered where the road was.

Wayne and Simon did not notice the problem, so they randomly found a place to try and wanted to climb up that steep mountain wall.

Some branches and brambles grew along the crack lines of the mountain wall, but they were unhelpful for climbing, as they could not bear the weight of a human.

Simon was the fittest. He tried to climb for a while and then fell off after climbing up to 13 to 16 feet.

Fortunately, he was agile. Wayne, standing at the bottom, had also expected that would happen, so he assisted Simon to land on the ground safely.
