"This..."
Upon hearing this, Yue Miao's brows furrowed deeply. He pondered for a moment and then sat down on the ground. "I'll try to contact my clone!"
With that, Yue Miao closed his eyes.
"Alright!~"
...
After a considerable amount of time, Yue Miao opened his eyes.
"Ye Feng, I can only determine the approximate direction. I've already instructed my water clone to continue tracking!"
"Although Kohler Ji has left, making tracking easier, so many days have passed. It will likely take quite some time!"
Yue Miao stood up and quickly explained.
"Good, thank you!~"
Ye Feng looked at Yue Miao with sincerity. "By the way, Yue Miao, do you know of any famous towns or the like nearby?"
"This..."
Yue Miao frowned. "This area is mostly desolate. However, there is a supply station set up by the Adventurer's Guild. It's quite large, does that count?"
"Adventurer's Guild? Perfect!"
Ye Feng was quite excited. "What is that place called?"
"It's called the Caterpillar Supply Station. Adventurers within dozens of miles basically resupply there!" Yue Miao replied quickly.
"Okay!~"
Ye Feng was very pleased, as he was wondering where he was so that Wu Ye Lin could deliver the three special Heavenly Ranking items.
"I didn't expect us to meet under these circumstances. Let's have a meal together!"
Ye Feng looked at Yue Miao and suggested.
"Alright!~"
...
Night fell.
After finishing dinner, Xiao Xiao went into the tent to message Wu Ye Lin. Meanwhile, Ye Feng was looking at the large silk scroll he had obtained from the Dark Sacred Cult member earlier, feeling somewhat troubled.
"Ye Feng, you don't need to feel any burden or anything like that... that silk scroll or map, it means nothing to me..."
"From the moment my wife and children died... my life... was left with only revenge... I tracked you down to disrupt Kohler Ji's plans..."
"Although I don't know what you'll do with this, as long as it doesn't fall into Kohler Ji's hands, it's good!"
Yue Miao let out a slow breath and spoke.
"Mm... Alright then, I'll accept this."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and stored the silk scroll into his spatial storage.
Immediately, a light flashed in his hand, and a golden talisman appeared. He handed it to Yue Miao. "Take this talisman. With your current strength, activating it shouldn't be a problem. If you encounter Kohler Ji, it should deal considerable damage!"
"This... doesn't seem like an Arcane Talisman..."
Yue Miao's expression was filled with surprise.
He was a well-traveled individual, yet he couldn't discern what kind of golden talisman Ye Feng was handing him. He could only vaguely sense that the talisman seemed to contain world-destroying power...
"Indeed! It's a very special talisman..."
Ye Feng smiled slightly, not elaborating.
What he had given Yue Miao was the result of his research into the divine patterns within the "Seed of Fire Record" during this period. It was a Divine Tribulation Talisman, and the golden talisman contained the power of tribulation fire...
"By the way, Yue Miao, do you know why Kohler Ji captured Yuan Ling and the others?"
After a pause, Ye Feng spoke again.
"This... it seems to be for divine artifacts... that young girl named Xiao Lu, and that armored man, Alak, they both seem to possess divine artifacts!"
"The bow Xiao Lu holds is called the Wind Whisper Bow, and it seems to be the divine artifact of Cynthia, one of the Twelve Main Gods!"
"And that Alak, the armor he wears is called the Retaliation Divine Armor, the divine artifact of Ares, the God of War, one of the Twelve Main Gods!"
"For some reason, the Retaliation Divine Armor seems to have fused with Alak's flesh and blood. When Kohler Ji peeled the Retaliation Divine Armor off Alak... Alak's entire body was bloody and mangled..."
Yue Miao frowned slightly and explained quickly.
"Is that so... my previous guess was actually correct..."
Ye Feng's brows furrowed deeply. When he was in the City of Arcane Arts, he had guessed that Xiao Lu's Wind Whisper Bow and Alak's Retaliation Armor were the divine artifacts that the Flame Ranger had taken from the City of Arcane Arts...
He hadn't expected Kohler Ji to find Yuan Ling and the others somehow...
"Ye Feng, I'm going to rest. Controlling multiple clones remotely is mentally exhausting!"
At this moment, Yue Miao yawned and spoke again.
"Mm, alright!"
...
"Ye Feng, you really know a lot of people... That 'Lin' you were discussing earlier, could it be Wu Ye Lin, the only granddaughter of the Adventurer's Guild City Lord, Wu Ye Lan?"
After Yue Miao left, Yue Yan walked over and asked.
"Mm! It is indeed her!"
Ye Feng nodded and looked at Yue Fei Xue, who was walking over with Yue Yan. "Fei Xue, what's wrong? You seem to have been preoccupied since this afternoon!"
"Ye Feng... the Dark Sacred Cult seems to be a bit abnormal..."
Yue Fei Xue took a deep breath and looked at the night sky. "The Dark Sacred Cult has always been elusive, secretive in their actions, and they even specifically erase traces of their existence... But recently, they seem to have become unusually active..."
"This is very similar to the period before the great catastrophe... It gives me a very bad premonition!"
Yue Fei Xue's expression was grave.
"And from what Yue Miao said... this Dark Sacred Cult might also have an inextricable connection with the gods..." Yue Yan added. "Otherwise, they wouldn't be collecting divine artifacts!"
"Perhaps... this is also related to the final judgment day..."
"It's really complicated..."
Ye Feng frowned, realizing that many of the events he had experienced seemed to be intricately linked.
"Big Brother!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao ran out of the tent and quickly came to Ye Feng's side. "Big Brother, Sister Lin said she's nearby and will arrive at that 'Caterpillar' supply station in about three days! Even if we didn't say anything, she was planning to go there for supplies anyway!"
"Good~"
...
Three days later,
As the sun was just rising,
Under Yue Miao's guidance, Ye Feng and his group arrived at a hillside.
"Big Brother, the continuous mountain range ahead really looks like a caterpillar..."
Xiao Xiao looked ahead and exclaimed.
"Indeed... The structure at the foot of the mountain also resembles a caterpillar's legs..."
Ye Feng was also quite surprised.
...
At noon,
"Chirp!"
"Bang!~"
Upon arriving at the Caterpillar Supply Station, Xiao Xiao didn't continue using the Mirror Yuan Coin communicator. Instead, she fired a red signal flare into the sky, which was the signal she had arranged with Wu Ye Lin.
Seeing the signal flare fired by Ye Feng and his group, many people within the Caterpillar Supply Station became wary. Some even directly ended their rest and quickly left.
A short-sleeved middle-aged man inside a cement building flew out. However, after taking a look at Ye Feng and his group, he returned inside...
...
