I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 87

Nothing could float on the Alpar River, so there were no creatures apart from the giant Nubia Python that appeared earlier.

The Nubia Python was fierce and terrifying. How were they supposed to cross the river?

Jack was no doubt devoured by the Nubia Python. They have lost another member, yet the Tristar Treasure was nowhere in sight. Before they could even find its location, they have already lost five people.

They had only nine members left, and among them, Gunther, Gabriel, and Hailey were basically incapable of defending

themselves.

Only Louis, Yoseph, Wayne, Simon, Oliver, and Sienna were capable of doing something.

Louis looked at the terrifying Alpar River, and then at the distant mountain across it.

He was a little confused. His one and only best friend, Yoseph, had begun to lose courage and had a fearful look in his eyes.

Although Gunther, the boss, was in shock, he had no intention of backing down.

Oliver was just thinking about how to cross the river and deal with Nubia Python. The thought of going back without achieving their goal never crossed his mind at all.

Right now, he only had one way to go. With Sienna’s affliction of the Blood Malediction, he had no choice but to keep going. In addition, now that he himself was also afflicted with Blood Malediction, there was no possibility of them turning back at

all.

Sienna sat on the grass and looked at the river with her face in her hands. She had experienced more bizarre encounters in the past few days than in the past 24 years of her life.

Even with her logical thinking and abundant modern scientific knowledge, she could not figure out what was going on.

She felt like she was living in a game or fantasy novel. The Enchanting Fog, the Great Wolf, the Alpar River, and the Nubia Python were all things beyond her wildest imagination!

Were there more amazing things waiting for her ahead?

She did not know the answer, but a thought of certainty appeared in her mind.

While Gabriel was muttering the name of the Nubia Python, he frowned tightly as if he racked his brain to no avail.

However, he clearly felt a sense of fear in his mind. He could not help but grab his head as he continued to think with all his might, “What is it? Just what could it be?”

As Gabriel pondered, he inadvertently looked up at the sky and came to a sudden realization, “I remember it now!”

Everyone was startled by his actions and looked at him. What did he recall?

“The Nocturna Heron!” Gabriel exclaimed as he looked up into the sky.

“What’s a Nocturna Heron?” Louis asked.

Gabriel suddenly showed a worried and terrified expression on his face and said, “Nothing lived in the Alpar River apart from two creatures. They were the Nubia Python and the Nocturna Heron, which are trying to kill each other. Do you guys think it’s that easy to capture a creature that could harm the Nubia Python?”

Although the Nubia Python could not get out of the water, it was invincible in the Alpar River

Louis’ was shocked upon hearing that. “Does the Nocturna Heron not fear the Nubia Python?”

Gabriel nodded and explained, “Everything follows its own nature. The Nubia Python is powerful, but the Nocturna Heron is its nemesis. The two creatures are each other’s arch-enemy. The bird flies in the sky, unlike the Nubia Python which is stuck in the Alpar River. The Nocturna Heron is able to fly freely. How are we going to escape if it appears?”

Gabriel’s words immediately weighed heavily on everyone else.

In addition to natural phenomena like the Enchanting Fog and the Alpar River, unimaginable creatures like the Great Wolf and the Nubia Python appeared before them, one more ferocious than the other. If the Nocturna Heron appeared now and was able to fly about freely in the sky, who would be able to survive that?

Gunther looked at the surface of the Alpar River and listened to Gabriel’s words. He felt a pang of sadness and wondered if he could even continue looking for the Tristar Treasure.

Even if everyone continued to follow him, how could they cross the Alpar River?

There were only two of the six bodyguards left, and they were not even halfway there yet. What if Louis and Yoseph were also injured?

Gunther looked at the old and dispirited Gabriel, and then at the dejected Hailey.

Gunther’s heart was suddenly gripped with pain. Although he was saddened by the death and injuries that Louis’ lackeys

suffered, it was not as bad as this. If Hailey were to be injured or suffered from mortal wounds, then he would rather not make this trip.

Sienna pondered for a moment and then turned to Oliver, who was also stunned. She asked, “Oliver, why don’t we turn back? I don’t think we can cross this river!”

Oliver shook his head and refused immediately. “We have to cross it. This is the only place we can resolve your Blood Malediction.”

Sienna fell silent. Although she did not spend that much time with Oliver, some people could be figured out in just a day, whereas some could not be figured trusted even after spending an entire lifetime together and end up abandoning their friends in times of trouble.

Many people died here, and Oliver witnessed all of it. However, he was willing to risk his life to continue their search for the unconfirmed cure for her Blood Malediction. How could she not be moved by this?

So, Sienna thought, “If Oliver wants to go with me, so be it.” She was going along with him anyway. Be it life or death, they would be together.

Oliver was lost in thoughts and stared at the Alpar River unconsciously. Suddenly, an identification message appeared in his .mind that snapped him out of his daze.

“Fuck! Why am I so dumb? How did I forget that I had the ability to identify?” Oliver thought.

To be fair, Oliver could not be blamed for forgetting that. He was of the mind that his eyes could only identify objects, so he did not think about things that he had no experience with.

The Enchanting Fog and the Great Wolf were both unintentionally identified. Right now, the Alpar River’s identification was

also the same!

“The Alpar River. It has a circular shape that surrounds the Enchanting Hollow. The total length of the river is 48 miles. It is 144 feet at its widest point, 36 feet at its narrowest point, 127 feet at its deepest point, and 42 feet at its shallowest point. A three-dimensional diagram of the Alpar River is available for viewing with full 360 degrees view.”

“I can observe the miniature model of the Alpar River from all angles! This is awesome!” Oliver exclaimed internally. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Without even thinking about it, Oliver clicked on the window for the 360-degree rotatable view of the Alpar River’s 3D

map.

The three-dimensional map of the Alpar River was translucent, and Oliver rotated the map while viewing it.

The water in the Alpar River was split into two colors, with the upper half being green and the lower half being transparent.

The green and calm water above was the real Alpar River, while the water below was just regular clear water.

There was a small creature model writhing about like an earthworm in the clear water segment in the distance.

That was not an earthworm, but rather, the Nubia Python!

After observing a few of them on the map, Oliver suddenly realized that they were the Nubia Pythons of the Alpar River.

Oliver did some mental arithmetic. There was a total of 26 Nubia Pythons in the 48 miles length of the Alpar River, which gave it a population density of roughly one Nubia Python every two miles.
