Alpha Reborn!

With the Energy Conversation skill at his disposal, Evan noticed that he could convert the mana in his surroundings into 100 units of soul energy without a cost in an instant. One hundred units of energy were enough to fill his soul pocket to the brim!

However, the skill had one drawback: once used, it would be temporarily unavailable for three minutes, leaving him unable to regenerate soul energy in worlds without it.

Despite this downside, the benefits of the Energy Conversation Skill far outweighed the loss. He had made a wise choice by learning it!

After Lirian had stored the scales and head of the Thunder Snake in his subspace, they resumed their journey.

As they trekked through the fringes of the Mystic Forest, their eyes were obscured by a dense veil of foliage.

They moved past the dense clusters of trees, and the path opened up before them, revealing a picturesque scene that was nothing like the surrounding forest.

A vast expanse of vibrant and radiant sunflowers stood tall, glistening with dewdrops that adorned their petals like precious jewels. The sunflowers were interspersed with colossal trees, towering majestically over the flower field and providing a canopy of shade from the sun's intense glare.

The area was a stark contrast to the rest of the forest, an oasis of natural beauty that awed Lirian and put a satisfied smile on Evan's face.

Evan smiled, feeling happy to have finally discovered the entrance of the Kobold's Den of Mischief.

Lirian took a moment to pause and take in the breathtaking sight before him. The vibrant colors and fresh scent of the flowers invigorated his senses, and he felt a sense of peace and tranquility that he had not experienced in a long time.

He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, savoring the fragrant air. It was as if he had encountered Heaven on Earth.

He opened his eyes and rushed towards it, wanting to do nothing but lie down among the sunflowers.

Evan's eyes widened in disbelief as Lirian suddenly moved towards the field of flowers.

"Don't!" Evan shouted out to Lirian with a sense of urgency, his heart pounding in his chest.

Lirian froze in his tracks, startled by Evan's reaction.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Evan took advantage of Lirian's momentary hesitation and immediately took action. Without a second thought, Evan lunged forward and grabbed Lirian by the hand. His grip was firm and unrelenting, as if he was determined to keep Lirian from moving any further.

He dragged him a safe distance away from the golden field of sunflowers that stretched out before them. It was as if he were rescuing Lirian from a dangerous situation, protecting him from harm's way.

The force of the pull was so strong that it left Lirian stumbling, struggling to keep his balance as he was dragged away.

"What's wrong?" Lirian asked, feeling weirded out by Evan's odd behavior.

Evan pointed towards the sunflower field, and his voice shook slightly as he spoke, "It's an illusion, Lirian. The Kobolds have set up a death trap to catch anyone who falls for it. This field is not real, and beneath it lies a giant sinkhole of immense depth. Even a Cultivator in the Soul Fusion Realm would face certain death if they fell into it."

Christian Wolfie had tackled this dungeon countless times in the game with his friends until his character became powerful enough to solo it. As Evan vividly remembered his past life as Christian Wolfie, he knew the dungeon like the back of his hand. He knew that its entrance was a deathtrap disguised like a beautiful field of sunflowers!

Lirian shuddered at the thought of what could have happened if he had not been stopped in time. He trusted Evan so much that he didn't entertain the idea of him lying to him when it came to matters of life and death.

"Thanks, bro," Lirian said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Had it not been for you, I would have lost my poor life." Lirian continued, "But how did you find out? Even I can't sense anything odd, and I am a Soul Fusion realm cultivator."

Lirian was an entire cultivation realm above Evan.

It was odd that he failed to see through the illusion, which Evan saw through.

Evan's face was solemn as he responded, "I have my ways."

Lirian couldn't help but feel a twinge of hurt.

"Since when did we start keeping secrets between us?" he asked, trying to lighten the mood with a playful elbow poke.

Evan rolled his eyes, but a hint of guilt flickered across his face.

"I saw it in my vision," he admitted.

Lirian's eyes widened in surprise. He knew about Evan's recurring nightmares but had never heard of him having a different type of vision. "You saw a new vision? When did that happen?"

Evan nodded slowly. "It happened not too long ago."

Lirian's curiosity was piqued. "Is that why we are here? Because your vision helped you locate something valuable in Planet Avalon, and you wanted to obtain it?"

Evan's face was serious as he nodded again. "Yes."

"What else did your vision show you? Did it show you how to dispel the illusion?" Lirian asked, his excitement growing.

"Planet Avalon is a world of magic, where supernatural feats are fueled by mana, the source of magic, but it has specific limitations. This illusion, for example, can't be maintained without a constant supply of mana. The source has to be somewhere near. As soon as it's destroyed, the illusion will be dispelled." Evan explained to Lirian.

Lirian couldn't help but feel a hint of skepticism at his words.

"It's easier said than done." Lirian asked, "How long will it take to find it in this wide place?"

"It won't take long," Evan said confidently, a glint flashing in his eye.
