Kadi, feeling needed, was incredibly excited. He thought he might have misheard.
It wasn't until Igor called him again that he realized just how much he was needed here.
The Ant Connection Spell in Igor's hands was already mastered to perfection. He needed Kadi's help because he felt that only Kadi could now identify the convergence point of this Spirit Power. Igor himself found it very difficult to discern, and as for Kuren and Joseph, Igor didn't think they would fare much better.
What Igor perceived wasn't a physical scene, but a cluster of Spirit Power. The feedback this Spirit Power provided was complex. For individuals like him and Kuren, who could enter the Inner World, it was naturally difficult to distinguish its true nature. Their thoughts were too intricate, prone to overcomplicating simple matters. This tendency would cause them to overlook the essence of many things, preventing them from finding any answers.
Thus, Kadi, who always looked at the surface of issues without delving deeper, beca the most suitable person among them.
When Igor extended the Ant Connection Spell to Kadi, Kadi felt a wave of dizziness. Afterward, his perception expanded.
It was a form of linked sensation, not sothing seen with his own eyes. The perception of Spirit Power was transmitted to his visual nerves, and this stimulus created a sensation in his brain as if he were seeing it directly.
Everyone's synesthetic experiences differed. So had visual links, others auditory, and so even experienced it through taste and sll. Regardless of the type, they all knew it wasn't a true physical sensation but rely feedback from Spirit Power.
Kadi now only needed to determine the nature of the feedback from the surging Spirit Power and, from that, deduce its origin.
Although it seed quite difficult, under the effect of the Ant Connection Spell, Kadi could now clearly perceive what Igor and Kuren had been sensing. Through these perceptions, he could vividly 'see' the masters of this Spirit Power releasing it in familiar corners of Guru Mountain.
"Kadi, can you sense where this is?" Igor asked. "I have so impression of it, but sothing feels off."
Kadi scratched his head. He hadn't learned much else from Igor, but he had certainly picked up this head-scratching habit.
"I can't quite describe it. You know I'm not good at describing things, but I do know these places are on Guru Mountain."
Kadi was essentially stating the obvious. Everyone knew these places were on Guru Mountain; he didn't need to repeat it. Igor and the others were already aware.
"Don't tell you sensed a place outside Guru Mountain?" Joseph sounded slightly displeased with Kadi's response. Considering Kadi was still a child, he couldn't bring himself to criticize him harshly. Yet, a sarcastic comnt slipped out. He had ant to stop himself, but found the remark had already rolled off his tongue. The words were out, like spilled water that couldn't be gathered back.
Joseph imdiately regretted his words, but he never would have guessed Kadi would take his sarcastic remark so seriously.
"That's right," Kadi said, completely missing the sarcasm in Joseph's tone and simply stating what he genuinely felt. "There's a very faint feeling. A small current of Spirit Power isn't from Guru Mountain."
His words, though spoken softly, hit them like a bombshell. It stunned Igor and the others. They froze, taking a long mont to process it, utterly dumbfounded.
This was truly startling. Spirit Power was actually transmitting from outside Guru Mountain. This complicated matters significantly.
It seed what was happening outside was far from simple.
Kadi's statent plunged both Joseph and Kuren into a state of panic. They began to worry about the events unfolding outside, especially fearing for the Great ntor's well-being.
In an instant, their expectations of Igor and Kadi intensified. They desperately wanted to know the situation outside, and they were desperate to leave this place.
Igor could feel their urgent anticipation, but at that mont, he was sowhat at a loss. Kadi's words sent his mind racing; he no longer knew how to assess the current situation.
"That small cluster of Spirit Power is also an invading Spirit Power," Kadi continued, sensing the awkwardness in the air. Although he didn't quite understand why, he knew his words had caused it, so he felt he had to explain further. "Anyway, that's the cluster of Spirit Power you couldn't identify earlier. I can sense that the person releasing this Spirit Power is from a very distant place."
Upon hearing Kadi's remark, Joseph and Kuren grew even more nervous. Previously, they had rely assud Kuyi Tulan intended to invade the mountain range. Now, it seed the invaders weren't limited to those bastards from the Alchemy Workshop; other forces were involved. And these other forces could actually transmit Spirit Power here from such a great distance. It was simply incredible, almost too outlandish to believe.
Therefore, Kuren and Joseph were desperate to go out and see what was happening. They wanted to identify the invaders and fight alongside their comrades. They were unwilling to hide alone in the safe house, doing nothing.
"How on earth do we get out of here?!" Joseph exclaid, growing agitated. He, who had once been the 'eyes' of Guru Mountain, like a hawk, now couldn't provide any useful information for the group. He felt an imnse sense of sha, making it hard to face his comrades.
"Igor, we're all counting on you," Kuren said, his voice tinged with urgency. He worried about the Great ntor. If he went out and couldn't find the Great ntor, he felt he would completely break down.
Igor felt the pressure mounting. Being relied upon by others was one thing; his own inability to act was another. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to tell these hopeful people that he was currently clueless and at a loss. He had to remain composed and offer so semblance of hope to the anxious group, so he forced a smile.
However, Igor could not imdiately answer Kuren and Joseph's questions. He had hit a wall, unsure of which path to take.
"Igor, although I can't tell where this invading cluster of Spirit Power cos from, I do know where the other Spirit Power signatures originate," Kadi suddenly blurted out. He always had a knack for blurting out earth-shattering statents when least expected, and this ti was no exception.
Kadi's words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, a bombshell, and even more so, a tily rain.
In any case, Igor was both stunned and relieved. Just then, he had been wondering exactly where those streams of Spirit Power were converging.
"These streams of Spirit Power all converge," Kadi said. "I can feel them all flowing to the sa location, and then they stop there. You and I have both been to this place. It's the Moonflow Stream. That's right, I can even sense that moving Stone Monster."
