"It's not like that~"
Seeing Xiao Xiao's hesitant and worried look, Shen Yun Yao smiled and shook her head, "I will go to the City of Arcane Arts, it's a long story..."
After a long while, Ye Feng understood that it wasn't that Mecha City had suffered a major disaster and Shen Yun Yao had to seek refuge with other forces.
Instead, for some unknown reason, Shen Bo Tian had used his connections to send Shen Yun Yao to the City of Arcane Arts to study arcane energy and arcane talismans.
"Your grandfather is quite bold to send his direct heir, you, to another major force. Aren't you afraid of being held hostage?"
"And the City of Arcane Arts is actually letting you study their most important arcane system?"
Ye Feng looked at Shen Yun Yao with surprise.
"This matter is rather complicated. Grandpa has something that the City of Arcane Arts desperately wants... and arcane energy and arcane talismans are not unique to the City of Arcane Arts... There are also other connections... My identity is only known to a few people..."
"It's hard to explain in a short time..."
As she spoke, Shen Yun Yao quickly changed the subject, her expression quite serious, "Ye Feng, do you know the Flame Ranger? You just mentioned him specifically and compared him to Tu Fu!"
"Not really acquaintance, I've heard of him~"
Ye Feng shook his head. With Yuan Ling's previous instructions, he didn't say much.
"Hoo~"
Seeing this, Shen Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Ye Feng, even if you know the Flame Ranger, you'd better not admit it, especially when people from the City of Arcane Arts are present!"
"Why?"
Ye Feng was a little puzzled, "Isn't he one of the Five Arcane Masters of the City of Arcane Arts?"
"That's true... but... he seems to be a traitor to the City of Arcane Arts... at least that's what I heard from the high-ranking officials of the City of Arcane Arts!"
"The other party mentioned it with gritted teeth..."
"It is said that when the Flame Ranger defected from the City of Arcane Arts, he also stole something very important from them!"
"This is also one of the reasons why the exploration team from the City of Arcane Arts came here... The Flame Ranger has been here before..."
Under Ye Feng's gaze, Shen Yun Yao explained quickly.
"This..."
Ye Feng was quite surprised.
When he was in the Goblin Kingdom before, he had learned information about the Flame Ranger from Yuan Ling and others, and had a very good impression of him. He didn't expect...
However, Yuan Ling also seemed to have mentioned that the Flame Ranger was being pursued by people from the City of Arcane Arts and had fled there...
"Wait, Yun Yao, you just said one of the reasons?"
Ye Feng looked at Shen Yun Yao with a puzzled gaze.
"Mm!"
Shen Yun Yao nodded, "The City of Arcane Arts believes that the Flame Ranger might have hidden the stolen item here, but I'm not sure what that item is."
"Among those who came this time, I'm afraid only Tu Fu knows!"
"Of course, there is a more important reason for the City of Arcane Arts to come here!"
As she spoke, Shen Yun Yao paused and scanned her surroundings warily, "That is, there might be clues to the Ark of Doom here!"
"The Ark of Doom?"
Hearing this again, Ye Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Yes!"
Shen Yun Yao let out a long sigh, "I was very surprised when I first heard this!"
"That Yun Yao... do you know the purpose of the other four major forces coming to this ancient ruin?"
"That Desert Storm seems to be looking for the Dark God's Book!"
Ye Feng paused slightly and said.
"The Dark God's Book?"
Shen Yun Yao looked astonished, "Is it the one Grandpa mentioned when we were in Mecha City?"
"Mm!"
Ye Feng looked in a direction behind him, "I just came up with a way to extract information from Sha Gui!"
"I see..."
Shen Yun Yao's brows furrowed tightly, "In that case, this ancient ruin is a bit complicated..."
Ye Feng didn't interrupt, knowing that Shen Yun Yao hadn't finished.
As expected, under the curious gazes of Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, Shen Yun Yao spoke again, "Actually, the five major forces did not agree to explore this ancient ruin together. Their arrival here was purely a coincidence, and there was a considerable battle when they first met..."
"About half a month ago, people from the five major forces arrived at Water Snake Mountain, but the time was not right, and they could only roam around Water Snake Mountain, unable to enter!"
"Later, someone leaked the news that the five major forces were searching for treasures in this area, which led to many people inquiring about it..."
"In addition, there are tricky defensive mechanisms in the ancient ruins. The five major forces, who intended to explore secretly, decided to openly attract explorers to reduce their own sacrifices..."
"As for the purpose of the five major forces... according to Tu Fu, they are all related to the Ark of Doom!"
Shen Yun Yao quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"I see..."
Ye Feng frowned, turned to Shen Yun Yao, "Yun Yao, are you also here for the Ark of Doom?"
"No!"
Shen Yun Yao shook her head, "I only learned about the Ark of Doom yesterday. I came here because I carefully studied the things my father left behind and discovered that he had been here before!"
"This place is the ancient ruin that he explored when he left Mecha City... I want to know what happened to my father back then..."
As she said this, Shen Yun Yao's expression became a little sad.
"This place is really strange... it doesn't look like a ruin passed down from ancient times... it looks more like a futuristic city..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately changed the subject.
"Indeed!"
Shen Yun Yao nodded in full agreement.
"By the way, Yun Yao, what was that 'Soul-Reaping Flame Net' you mentioned? It sounds quite powerful~"
As Ye Feng was processing the information Shen Yun Yao had just provided, he suddenly asked.
"That is the Flame Ranger's signature ultimate skill, and also a forbidden-level technique he created!"
"The Soul-Reaping Flame Net is a special fire net composed of arcane runes and fire-elemental arcane energy. The fire on it is influenced by the arcane runes, making it very special, and it can even ignite arcane energy, even fire-elemental arcane energy!"
"After the Flame Ranger disappeared, no one could use this move anymore. I didn't expect the Chen Yi Si brothers to know it just now... although it can only be performed by the four of them together..."
"But perhaps it's related to the fact that the four of them are quadruplets, with telepathic understanding, and can even be considered as one person!"
As she spoke, Shen Yun Yao looked in the direction of the previous battle.
"Quadruplets... telepathic understanding... no wonder their teamwork during the battle was so默契!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately understood.
"That... big brother, where are we going?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's confused voice rang out.
Because she had been following Ye Feng and Shen Yun Yao, walking forward, and had already changed directions several times...
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately stopped. He turned his head awkwardly and looked at Shen Yun Yao with a questioning gaze.
After all, he had been lost in thought and had been walking instinctively, avoiding any major obstacles...
...
