I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 88

The twenty-six giant Nubia Pythons were lying at the bottom of the Alpar River. Although they had poor eyesight, their hearing was extremely sensitive. They could sense any slight fluctuations in the river water.

Therefore, if one wanted to get through the Alpar River by diving, it was basically a dead end. They couldn’t get across the river without getting eaten by the Nubia Python’s.

However, Oliver saw a string of green dots cutting across the Alpar River map in his mind.

After counting, Oliver found that there were 15 green dots in total, which were around 4 to 5 miles away from their current location.

There was an explanation next to the green dots: [Thousands of ways to cross the Alpar River, yet only one way is the true way.]

“Thousands of ways to cross the Alpar River, yet only one way is the true way?” Oliver muttered the explanation to himself again and looked carefully at the green dots on the Alpar River map.

There were 15 small green dots in the river.

“Thousands of ways to cross the Alpar River, yet only one way is the true way! Does this line mean there was only one way to get across the Alpar River?” wondered Oliver.

An idea formed in Oliver’s mind, and he looked over at the others who were still in a daze. After thinking about how to mention this to the others, he said, “Mr. Fox, shall we take a detour and check out the way?”

Gunther sighed in disappointment and said, “We can’t get across, so what’s the point? We have bumped into both the Great Wolf and the Nubia Python. We have one keeping us from moving forward and another from going back. What can we do?”

Oliver thought for a while before saying, “Mr. Fox, everything in this world has something to curb it. There’s light to curb the shadows and antidotes to curb poisons, so I think even though the Alpar River is pitted with perils, there must be a loophole here that we can use. We can’t cross the river now anyway, so why don’t we slowly walk and look along the river to see if we can find a way?”

Gunther was quite depressed, but Gabriel fell into deep thought before he nodded in response to Oliver’s words and said, “Oliver’s words are indeed quite philosophical. Everything in this world is relative. The Alpar River is quite dangerous, but there must be a safe way to cross it. Let’s try looking for it!”

Seeing that even Gabriel was in agreement with Oliver, Gunther nodded.

However, Gabriel looked at the sky and reminded them again, “We need to be careful of the Nocturna Heron. According to the Book of Mountains and Seas, the Nubia Pythons and the Nocturna Herons have a natural prey and predator relationship. If the Nubia Pythons are here, then the Nocturna Herons must also exist. It’s just that.. I haven’t really seen the Nocturna Heron before.”

But in broad daylight, where the sky was clear blue, he couldn’t see any other birds, not to mention the Nocturna Heron.

“Let’s go,” said Oliver as he helped up Sienna, who was lazing around. They walked along the other side of the Alpar River.

The Alpar River was a strange body of water. The water level did not rise or fall, and the river was not flowing. It was indeed a strange river.

Wayne and Simon followed behind Oliver and Sienna closely. Hailey also hurriedly helped her father, Gunther, and followed behind them.

The line of nine people walked along the Alpar River.

The Alpar River was flat and level, so the water was not flowing. Oliver was looking at the river as he walked and became curious about the river emerging in his heart.

The Alpar River was so long and yet was as flat and level as a stagnant body of water. It was as if the river was a man-made stagnant body of water.

But how much manpower and material resources would it have taken to dig out such a long river?

What was even more inconceivable was that the Alpar River water was unusual. Who had the resources to find so much water to make a river?

It could only be described as a heavenly miracle.

But were there any sights seen in Enchanting Hollow that could be considered as not inconceivable?

After walking for more than half an hour, Sienna panted a little. Oliver helped her to sit down and said, “You should take a break. There is no rush. We can rest as we keep moving forward.”

After Sienna sat on a clean stone, Oliver pulled back the collar of her shirt slightly and looked at her back.

The traces of the eye symbol on Sienna’s back looked more obvious and redder than before.

She only had 66 days left.

Hailey, who was behind Oliver and Sienna, felt a sharp stab in her heart when she saw their intimacy. “Oliver is being intimate with Sienna in front of me. Is he doing this on purpose?” wondered Hailey.

“Sixty-six… sixty-six…” murmured Oliver as he looked at the mountain opposite the Alpar River. Could he really find an antidote for Blood Malediction there?

How about the Elixir of Immortality, a long-cherished dream of Gunther’s? Could they find it there?

Gunther’s looked even more dispirited and seemed like he could collapse at any time and never get up again.

Gabriel walked over to Gunther and took out some pills for him. Then he took out a thermos cup and poured him a glass of hot water as he said, “Gunt, take the medicine.”

Gunther smiled sadly and asked, “Will the medicine still work?”

Hailey had tears in her eyes as she persuaded him, “Dad, take the medicine…”

Gunther sighed. He couldn’t bear to see Hailey’s worried and desperate expression, so he took the pills and warm water from Gabriel. He tilted his head, drank the water, and swallowed the pills.

Louis cut down a long, thin branch to explore the river depth, but he still couldn’t touch the bottom of the river with the stick.

Wayne and Simon looked around with their binoculars as they explored the way.

The mutant Great Wolf was gone, and the Alpar River was silent. There was no movement on the water’s surface.

If Jack hadn’t provoked the scary and huge Nubia Python by diving into the river, who would have known that something so powerful was hidden in the waters?

Oliver looked at the mountain for a while and then turned to look forward. According to the map in his mind, the location of the green dots was already very close.

After taking a short break, Oliver looked at both Gunther, who was languishing, and the frail and old Gabriel. Then, he stood up and said to Gunther, “You can rest here for a while, Mr. Fox. I’ll go check things out.”

Gunther nodded and thought, “Do whatever you want. It feels the same no matter which part of the Alpar River we look at.”

Oliver took a few steps and was followed by Wayne and Simon.

Oliver thought for a while before waving his hand at Simon and saying, “You just stay here and watch over Sienna.”

Simon nodded in agreement.

Only Wayne followed behind Oliver, and Oliver felt much more at ease.

Wayne and Simon were not strangers to him, so he didn’t have to worry that they would spill something if they saw questionable things. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

The location of the green dots was still 0.7 miles away. Oliver walked straight toward them according to the indications in his mind.

However, there was no movement on the surface of the Alpar River, nor could they see anything in the waters.

As Oliver got closer to the location of the green dots, he slowed down a little. Then, he slowly approached where the green dots were.

When he came to the location where the green dots were indicated, Oliver stopped and looked at the place carefully.

Wayne felt curious when he saw Oliver staring in a daze at a certain point in the river. “There is nothing different here from other places,” thought Wayne.

Oliver stared in a daze for a while before he turned to Wayne and instructed, “Go chop a long, thin branch for me.”

Wayne hurriedly chopped off a branch around 10 to 13 feet long and was as thick as a small wine glass. Before handing it to Oliver, Wayne cleared away the leaves and smaller branches.

Oliver squatted down near the river with the branch. He sensed the correct position with the map in his mind and then stretched out the branch into the river.

Wayne carefully stood guard near Oliver so that he could pull Oliver back as soon as there was a slight movement.

There were no changes. After Oliver stretched the branch into the river for one and a half feet deep, the branch touched something hard and couldn’t go any deeper!

“It’s real! It turns out that the green dots in my mind are the bridge piers hidden in the Alpar River,” thought Oliver.
