Rod's entire body was bristling, his blood seemingly frozen into ice blocks, and his soul felt heavy and obscured.
"What's wrong?"
Anna immediately noticed Rod's unusual state, almost instinctively, she picked up the lantern and shone it on Rod.
The firelight instantly illuminated him brightly, revealing his soul as pure and transparent under Spiritual Vision, crystalline like liquefied crystal, without a trace of impurity.
"It's fine, the soul is okay... Rod, did you discover something?"
Rod's face was ashen, his expression seemed to have returned from a very distant place.
"Something... feels wrong here."
Everyone halted their steps, the atmosphere turned tense.
"What happened?"
Rod did not answer, he felt a kind of illusory darkness occupying his vision, lightless terror descending from some infinitely high and distant place, overshadowing everything.
At that moment, the long-silent voice of Asa suddenly echoed in his mind.
