In fact, her body had constantly been absorbing the essence that was around the world. Compared to the outside cities, the essence on this mysterious island was a hundred times more efficient and sufficient. Endless essence bounced around, as though dancing in a lively manner all around them.
While Phoebe was absorbing the essence, Alex had also absorbed a lot of it.
The three of them moved like ghosts in the night, quickly advancing. In the end, when they were almost two kilometers away, the sound of a song suddenly came from the palace.
“Love is like a hungry wolf. How can it be held to sleep.”
“It will need to commemorate me by leaving me a deep scar.”
“Love is like a hungry wolf, its mouth beyond sweet.”
“If you come and play with it, it will lash out fiercely…”

When the familiar rhythm echoed out of the palace, Alex was shocked.
Wasn’t this an old song from a famous Hong Kong singer, Jacky Cheung, ‘Legend of Hungry Wolf’?
In a sect left behind by who knew what ancient dynasty, this song was playing there? It left the people listening speechless. It was as though they had entered an ancient society and thought they had crossed worlds to arrive here, but it was just a movie filming base. Yet, it was just a movie filming base upon taking a closer look, and modern buildings could still be seen everywhere. In that case, what was the point of becoming excited by stumbling into this?
***
Very soon, the three of them approached the palace quietly.
The palace was indeed ancient, and it was unclear how long it had existed. However, the strange thing about it was that such an old palace was quite well preserved. Not even a single brick of it was damaged.
Inside the palace, there were loud sounds.
It was filled with all kinds of howls that sounded excited and strange, as though someone was learning how to howl like a wolf.
And outside the palace, not a single shadow was in sight to guard the area. It looked as though the people inside didn’t think that anyone would break in here.
Alex and the others quickly approached the palace and even passed through a side door, hiding behind a giant pillar. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anyone noticed their presence.
“Today, it’s the annual bathing day!”
