"This..."
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Yue Yan, and Yue Fei Xue exchanged glances, all thinking of the same thing: people from the Dark Holy Cult.
After all, Yue Yan had previously mentioned that using the Mirror Yuan Coin communicator for too long could attract the attention of the Dark Holy Cult.
"Let's go, let's go see what's happening!"
...
Led by Qiao Ying, Ye Feng and his group soon arrived in a small forest.
Holding binoculars, they looked into the distance and saw two figures in gray robes rapidly heading in the direction they had just come from.
...
Half an hour later,
"They really are coming for us..."
Ye Feng muttered to himself, watching the two figures in gray robes stop at the spot where they had been.
"Ye Feng, those two should be from the Dark Holy Cult. They happened to be nearby, and our previous use of the Mirror Yuan Coin communicator caused some sort of fluctuation... They detected the fluctuation and followed us..."
"See the snake with its tongue sticking out in their hands? That's their tool for tracking the Mirror Yuan Coin communicator!"
Yue Yan pointed into the distance and explained in a low voice.
"Mirror Yuan Coin communicator..."
Ye Feng frowned slightly, his consciousness scanning the Mirror Yuan Coins stored in his spatial warehouse. "Yue Yan, will using ordinary Mirror Yuan Coins also attract people from the Dark Holy Cult?"
"Yes!"
Yue Yan nodded slightly. "However, the special fluctuation emitted by ordinary Mirror Yuan Coins is very small. Unless they are quite close, the Dark Holy Cult won't be able to detect it!"
"The Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin communicator has an amplifier, so its communication range is much longer, but the fluctuation it emits is also stronger... The Dark Holy Cult can track it from a great distance!"
Yue Yan explained while observing the two gray-robed figures through her binoculars.
"Ah~!"
"Ah!"
As soon as Yue Yan finished speaking, two piercing screams suddenly came from the front. It turned out that the two members of the Dark Holy Cult had been pierced through by something white and bright.
Ye Feng and his group moved forward stealthily, and within a few breaths, they were not far from the two members of the Dark Holy Cult.
"My goodness... it's him!"
Upon seeing the figure who had just attacked the members of the Dark Holy Cult, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel surprised, as the person was Yue Miao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Alas!~"
Yue Yan, Yue Fei Xue, and Qiao Ying were observing closely. When they saw Ye Feng suddenly walk out from behind the rocks where they were hiding, they were astonished, and it was too late to stop him.
"I've been following for so long... I finally found an opportunity... Who?"
Hearing the movement from Ye Feng's side, Yue Miao, who was interrogating the members of the Dark Holy Cult, suddenly turned his head. His entire body instantly turned into a semi-transparent state of water splashes.
"Ye Feng?"
Seeing Ye Feng, Yue Miao was also surprised, and his body solidified considerably.
"It's me... Yue Miao, this... is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"
Ye Feng looked at Yue Miao, then at the two members of the Dark Holy Cult pierced by the rune water splashes.
"This... is indeed quite a coincidence..."
Yue Miao was stunned and didn't know how to respond, as he hadn't expected to meet Ye Feng here...
"Ye Feng, you know so many people..."
As Yue Yan spoke, Xiao Xiao and the others also emerged from behind the rock cover.
Seeing Xiao Xiao and the others, Yue Miao's expression became even more surprised, as he hadn't sensed their presence earlier...
"Uh... just a coincidence..."
Ye Feng scratched his head and looked at Yue Miao. "Yue Miao, what's the situation with these members of the Dark Holy Cult?"
"Uh... I was originally tracking Koleki. They seemed to have ambushed a group of people and snatched some sort of treasure from them... But along the way, Koleki encountered something more important and left on his own..."
"So I took advantage of these two being alone to try and get the treasure they collected!"
Yue Miao quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Treasure?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Yue Miao turned his head, and the water splashes gripping the throats of the Dark Holy Cult members loosened slightly.
"Dream on! Ah!" kanδん
"Ah!~"
Before the Dark Holy Cult member to Ye Feng's left could finish speaking, he let out a scream. The scream of the Dark Holy Cult member on his right followed closely behind.
"Ah!!~"
"Damn scum, do you know who you've offended..."
"Ah!~Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
Yue Miao was clearly skilled at interrogation and torture. In a short while, both members of the Dark Holy Cult were completely exhausted, their eyes rolled back, and they foamed at the mouth before collapsing on the ground...
In front of Ye Feng and his group also lay a jade tablet about one meter square, which was the treasure Yue Miao had mentioned that Koleki and his group had obtained after killing people.
"Big Brother, the patterns on this jade tablet... look so familiar... It's part of a map!"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed after observing it.
"By the way, Ye Feng, do you know someone named Yuan Ling?"
Yue Miao didn't ask Ye Feng about the map. After searching the two members of the Dark Holy Cult, he stood up and looked at Ye Feng, asking.
"Yuan Ling?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly. "Why do you ask?"
"I tracked Koleki's whereabouts half a month ago... I discovered that he had captured a group of people, and among them was someone named Yuan Ling, who had a portrait of you..."
As he spoke, Yue Miao conjured a mass of water splashes in his hand and manipulated it to quickly draw in the air.
"Big Brother, it's Sister Yuan Ling!"
After a while, Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, as she saw Yue Miao draw a blindfolded girl.
Ye Feng, however, was puzzled, as the portrait Yue Miao drew, apart from the blindfold, only bore a slight resemblance in the eyebrows to Yuan Ling... The proportions and placement of the features were vastly different from Yuan Ling's...
"Cough cough!"
Yue Miao cleared his throat. "Drawing is not my forte... Along with Yuan Ling, three other people were captured. They are called Xiao Lu, Yalake, and He Shang..."
"What the..."
Hearing Yue Miao's words, Ye Feng couldn't help but think of Yuan Ling and the others he had encountered in the Goblin Kingdom...
At this moment, Yue Miao once again condensed water splashes and began to draw. His expression was serious, and his drawing speed was not fast. Sweat even beaded on his forehead, indicating that drawing was indeed not easy for him...
"This drawing..."
When Yue Miao finished drawing, Ye Feng's expression was somewhat strange.
Because Yue Miao's drawing was truly terrible... It could only be described as a faintly eerie "likeness"... Apart from He Shang's bald head, which was very obvious, the others were simply...
"This drawing... is on par with Big Brother's~"
Xiao Xiao muttered softly after looking at it, and Qiao Ying, who had seen Ye Feng's drawings before, also had a strange expression on her face.
Ye Feng's face immediately flushed red, and he said, "Yue Miao, you said half a month ago that Koleki captured Yuan Ling and the others... Do you know their current whereabouts...?"
...
