The black-robed man was familiar with the location of the Nether and had been here several times before, so he didn't waste any time searching for the way.
He was faster than Lilly and Ivan.
Upon arrival, he didn't spot the two of them. He furrowed his brows, and after a moment, he squinted his eyes and found a concealed spot to hide.
Perhaps they will not come. However, there is a high probability that they will come. They probably will not expect that I am waiting for them here!
…
Lilly and Ivan cautiously navigated their way along the Nether Chain and searched.
The Nether Chain was invisible, and the reason why the Earth Goddess could easily lift the chain to show it to Lilly and Ivan was because the chain was attached to her.
Ivan carefully felt and inspected it as he was afraid of losing sight of the chain accidentally. If that were to happen, they would have to return to the Earth Goddess and start over.
Lilly followed along and appeared relaxed and carefree.
It seemed like she wasn't worried at all, or instead, because she was observing the chain, she didn't need to take action.
He sensed that she truly trusted him. So, he paid even closer attention and ensured he didn't become careless and lose sight of the chain.
They proceeded forward at a slow pace.
She observed him and conversed with the small ghost beast. "We've come quite far, so have you sensed Crawford?"
The small ghost beast shook its head.
After turning several corners, she inquired again, "What about here? Can you sense Crawford here?"
The small ghost beast still shook its head.
She looked up. The path they had taken circled Mount Everest, and it faced this side of Everest.
If Crawford had entered, the little ghost beast would surely have sensed him.
What she was most concerned about was if Crawford didn't listen and followed them in, which would only add unnecessary trouble.
Not sensing anything is also a positive outcome!
She felt relieved by thinking this way.
However, she saw Ivan furrowing his brows when she turned her head, as if he couldn't sense the chain and was anxiously searching.
Although he had already put on a calm facade, she could inexplicably perceive his nervousness.
The Nether Chain is just three meters away from him.
"Here it is! Ivan!" She grabbed him and pressed his hand against the Nether Chain.
He was momentarily dazed.
What should I do? Will I appear incompetent? Will she think of me when she gets into a fight in the future?
"You..." He pursed his lips as a hint of embarrassment flashed across his cold face and secretly felt ashamed. He felt that he hadn't put in enough effort.
She can find the Nether Chain so easily. It is ridiculous how he has blindly searched around with his eyes closed.
She thought he wanted to ask, "How did you know?" so she honestly replied, "Ivan, I can 'see' the Nether Chain."
