I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 98

“Sienna, give that to me!”

Oliver stretched out his hand when he thought of it. He had already been hit by Blood Malediction anyway. Like Sienna, it didn’t matter whether he touched it or not.

Sienna gave him the Eye Sculpture without thinking. Oliver looked it over again after receiving it.

It was true that it hadn’t been swapped.

In fact, besides Oliver who knew the importance of the Eye Sculpture, the others didn’t recognize it at all and could not see its value.

Simon and Wayne were ready to push aside the burning firewood at the cave entrance to free the opening. Their plan was to carry a machete each and rush out to get the difficult part over with as fast as possible. They would cut as many trees as possible, then drag them into the cave.

As long as they could hold on until dawn, they would live for one more day. Otherwise, everyone would cease to exist at midnight that night.

“Wait a minute!” Oliver raised his head and quickly stopped them. “Don’t be rash. Let me think about it.”

Wayne and Simon stopped to wait for Oliver. There was no present danger anyway, and the firewood could last for an hour

or two.

Oliver mulled over it with the Eye Sculpture in his hand. A few minutes later, he waved to Wayne and Simon and said, “You two guard both sides. While we make an opening, the others will stay back. When we’re done, find a place to take cover. Mr. Hayes and Yoseph will protect the others.”

Everyone immediately stood at Oliver’s command. Wayne and Simon armed themselves with machetes and took their positions to guard the entrance.

Oliver was about to take a cane to push the firewood away, but Wayne and Simon simultaneously stood in front of him. When they got to work, the fire at the cave mouth was quickly brushed aside to reveal an opening that was roughly two feet and two inches wide.

By pushing the flame barrier aside to create an opening, they had also exposed a weak spot to a sharp-eyed Nocturna Heron/ outside. As soon as it saw its chance, it flew over as fast as lightning.
