His physical body could remain in reality while he submerged into the Dream Realm, allowing him to open a passage between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the cost was extremely high, but at least there was a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew from his experiments that using only one type of Energy created a one-way passage, while mixing two types made it two-way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Energy, Alka said with some emotion, \"I should have realized earlier. There must be such Energy on the Island, especially the silver kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back now, the reason I absorbed so much silver Energy was probably because someone on the Island used this Energy to smooth out the gap between reality and the Dream Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when I expand the Dream Realm, both types of Energy should increase, not just one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicates that the issue with the Island isn’t naturally occurring but was deliberately caused by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only we knew how to open a passage from the Dream Realm to reality,\" Lucilia said with some emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We wouldn’t have been in as much danger as we were just now, running on a knife’s edge, lingering at the brink of death. That’s not a good experience at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka had considered such things too, but ultimately, he hadn’t found a definitive method and had let the matter drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You say we can ensure our safety with this method, but what about Balazs and the others?\" Lucilia suddenly thought of something and looked up to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka remembered that it wasn’t just them outside; there were others too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were so focused on escaping for our lives just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know. That general seems to have some connection with the Dream Realm. I’m not sure if he has a solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, he added, \"It would be best if he died, though.\"It really would be,he mused, a touch of malice in the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they are enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Balazs, I can’t help him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have enough trouble protecting ourselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lucilia nodded, showing no sympathy. In fact, she found herself wishing they would all die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, all the dangers we’ve encountered since arriving on the Island can be attributed to that general, Kriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At the location where the general was.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were frantically running on the Island. As for where the path led, they didn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them were countless blood-red tendrils rapidly spreading towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of these tendrils was significantly faster than the ones Alka and his group had encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the tendrils Alka’s group faced moved at a jog, these chasing tendrils could be described as sprinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming speed difference left the fleeing group struggling to think of how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balazs was also among those fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could their speed compare to the general and the soldiers around him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength was far superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AAAH! A scream pierced the air from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balazs looked distressed.There’s nothing I can do,he thought grimly, quickening his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a member of his business guild was already wrapped by the blood-red tendrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s face started to turn ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one tendril enveloped him; the rest continued to spread forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the tendril completely enveloped him, his body dissolved into shimmering, dust-like particles of light and was absorbed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his clothes were left, discarded on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a single remnant remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleeing group had witnessed this horrifying scene before. Behind Balazs, only his deputy and one other member of their guild remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiba, who had betrayed him previously, was lagging at the very back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because Feiba wasn’t very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Captain! Please save me, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the shout from behind, Balazs turned his head to look at Feiba, who was stretching out his hands, pleading for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only helplessly shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiba looked at his legs, already ensnared by the tendrils, and knew he couldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his life force waning, even his soul felt like it was being pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He completely gave up on fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the retreating backs of Balazs and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted at the top of his lungs, \"He has my family under his control! I didn’t mean to betray you! For the sake of all our years together, if you make it out, please help them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balazs and the others didn’t turn their heads. It was unclear if he had heard the traitor’s final words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiba, too, had given up on fleeing, standing still, waiting for the tendrils to completely envelop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his life ebbing away, he extended his hands, placing them on his temples and then sliding them down to his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, \"May the white snake of the soul protect them, may...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, he was completely enveloped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his clothes were left, falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deputy, seeing the tendrils drawing ever closer from behind, suddenly said, \"Forget it, Captain. Don’t wait for us. You’re capable enough; just go on your own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prolonged, desperate flight had gradually drained his stamina. Moreover, the strange Dream Realm region had adversely affected both his Magic Power and his physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn’t run much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking and run!\" Balazs turned and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him were two men who had fought alongside him for over a decade. After enduring multiple betrayals, he cherished these loyal companions dearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deputy shook his head. \"You’ll make the best choice, Captain. You always do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced at his other companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man sighed, took off a ring, and threw it to the deputy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deputy caught it, took off his own ring as well, and hurried forward a few steps. He pressed both rings into Balazs’s hand, then stopped, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his other companion.\u003C\u002Fp>",984,"2026-06-03T07:13:51.827Z","2026-06-03T07:13:56.047Z",1,"novelbin.me","7d9e12a362fd0d78597caa8fd98f721408be55d7d92f027d9102e54430bdf524","treasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-chapter-567","treasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-chapter-565",1016,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftreasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-cover.jpg"]
