Chapter 329: Bacabrado
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Angor saw a light.
Seeing light in this never-ending darkness was strange no matter how one looked at the matter. Instead of hoping for an exit, Angor’s instinct told him that it might be an unknown danger.
When he read about plane passageways, he learned that this place wasn’t complete emptiness. There were still specific creatures living here, such as Hollow Weed.
Or certain monsters.
The chance of finding a monster in a plane passageway was as terrible as seeking a needle in a haystack. But it wasn’t zero. Monsters, phantom beasts, or even common animals might wander around this particular place.
Some of them might have stumbled in here by accident, while the others considered the plane passageway their home.
No matter what it was, any other lifeform Angor might meet could be dangerous. Anything that managed to survive in a plane passageway had to have some kind of abilities.
…
They traveled for a long time.
Angor had been keeping his eyes on the pocket watch. The hour arm had moved several rounds now. He didn’t know whether time here shared the same flow with the wizarding world, but at least, his watch suggested that it had been two and a half days since he fell.
Which meant the outside was the 3rd day of Month of Harvest.
Toby had some sleep during the period, while Angor also took a small nap. His spirit had recovered. Yet he was soon met with another problem: hunger.
He had placed all his valuables inside the space bracelet… but there was no food.
He had another choice though, which was to eat some of Toby’s dried fish.
Toby’s Snowy Feather was stuffed with his favorite fish slices, along with all kinds of strange clothes.
Under Toby’s doubtful gaze, Angor pretended to be having a good meal while he chewed the salty and odorous fish.
“This is nice. I’ll buy you more next time.”
Toby waved his wings twice: I want twice the volume.
Angor nodded. “I’ll give you five!”
He silently made up his mind that he would find a chance and stock some food inside his bracelet. Wizards could survive on their energy for years on end without eating, but he couldn’t do that kind of wonder yet.
Or maybe he could try to learn a Gourmet Spell called “Mana Bread”.
As an Illusionist apprentice though, it would take forever for him to learn a professional spell which wasn’t his expertise.
While he went over his random thoughts, the rainbow dragonflies had carried him near a real Bacabrado.
It happened pretty fast. The leading dragonflies suddenly strayed off the course of nightmare aura and headed toward somewhere below their direction.
Angor looked around, puzzled. He saw a giant lizard-like creature not far from him, who had been surrounded by the rainbow dragonflies. The lizard had a glowing “lantern” on its head like those of an anglerfish, which released bright white light.
“A Bacabrado?” Angor was shocked when he realized he just won the jackpot. Finding a monster inside a plane passageway was almost impossible.
He took a close look and saw the Bacabrado trembling badly. It seemed as if it was terrified of the dragonflies.
“Go. We come next time!”
… was what Angor sensed from the insects.
Next, he saw the Bacabrado becoming somewhat relived before it then swiftly traveled into the darkness, wiggling its lantern to and fro.
“Is that creature tamed by the dragonflies?” he wondered out loud.
After the beast completely disappeared, the biggest dragonfly in their rank approached Angor while carrying a small, green light spot.
It presented the green spot to Angor like a peasant who was sending a gift to a king.
“Hollow Weed… For me?” Angor already saw some of the plants around that Bacabrado. He didn’t take them since he saw the dragonflies feeding on them. These insects already gave him a “ride”. Even if the Hollow Weed was extremely valuable, he wouldn’t take their “fuel”.
But since the dragonflies meant to give him one as a gift, he didn’t reject it.
The green lump was as large as an egg. From a quick look, Angor took a guess that there had to be hundreds of Hollow Weed spheres congested together. Those 13 units he obtained last time got him a small habitat of around half cubic meter. Now with these extra ones, he could probably make his entire storage space liveable. With some to spare!
