Not long after, the figure in the night-blooming clothes returned, carrying the unconscious burly man. They placed him inside the original stone house and then swiftly departed………….
"Damn it, who ruined my house!?"
A moment later, the burly man woke up. Seeing the stone house with a large hole in it, he immediately cursed loudly.
"Huh? So many supplies..."
"Wait, how am I here? What am I doing here?"
"Is this stone house mine? These things seem to be mine... Was I having a nightmare...?"
………….
After wandering around the stone house, the burly man mumbled in confusion. Finally, he poked his head out, saw that no one was around, put away the supplies, did some minor repairs to the stone house, and then went to sleep...
"That survivor... must have been trading supplies in the [Trading Channel] just now, but was tracked by people from the Dark Holy Cult..."
"The tracking method was through that mouse with red eyes and an Ouroboros mark on its body... That mouse can sense something on the survivor..."
"Zi Ying Suo and Yan both warned me not to use the survivor's bracelet for too long... Is it because the bracelet emits a certain fluctuation when used, and that red-eyed mouse happens to be able to track this fluctuation?"
"And that figure in night-blooming clothes who suddenly appeared just now... is that also a survivor?"
"After that burly man was knocked out and taken away, he returned as if he had amnesia... Did he lose all his previous memories after being contacted by the bracelet or the light screen by the natives?" Ye Feng analyzed internally, watching the stone house where the lights had gone out.
"Big brother, the first light and the second light have both gone out!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao pointed to the Three-Breath Nether Lamp sensor in her hand.
"It seems that the enemies detected by this Three-Breath Nether Lamp sensor are the Dark Holy Cult... or rather, that red-eyed mouse!" Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the member of the Dark Holy Cult and the red-eyed mouse that had turned into ice shards.
"Ye Feng, the middle-aged man in the stone house seems to be a survivor among humans!" At this moment, Qiao Ying spoke up.
"Survivor?" Ye Feng asked with surprise, "Qiao Ying, you know about survivors?"
"Mhm!" Qiao Ying nodded. "When I was previously searching for another king of the angels... investigating the divine stones and the Dark Holy Cult, I learned of it by chance..."
"I'm not very clear about the specifics, only that survivors are also called bracelet wearers. It seems to be related to a very important secret of humanity, and the Dark Holy Cult has been trying to capture survivors in various ways for this secret..."
"The red-eyed mouse with glowing red eyes just now... should be the so-called 'Nether Lamp,' specifically used by the Dark Holy Cult to track survivors..."
"I've only heard of it before, I've never seen it... I thought of it when I saw the bracelet on the middle-aged man..." Qiao Ying quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"'Nether Lamp'... So the Three-Breath Nether Lamp sensor is for sensing that red-eyed mouse..." Hearing this, Ye Feng finally understood how the Three-Breath Nether Lamp sensor device worked.
"Sister Qiao Ying, you just mentioned another king of the angels... Did you find him?"
"Sister Ling Xi also mentioned it before..." At this moment, Xiao Xiao spoke, looking at Qiao Ying with curiosity.
"Uh..." Qiao Ying looked a bit embarrassed. She looked at Xiao Xiao for a moment, then turned her gaze to Ye Feng.
"What is it?" Ye Feng was puzzled, "Does the other king of the angels have anything to do with me?"
………….
Late at night, Ye Feng, who usually slept very well, lay in bed but did not fall asleep as usual. Firstly, tomorrow was the final round of selection for the young talents of the City of Arcane Arts, and he might meet Bing... Secondly, it was because of the mysterious woman in the sky-blue dress... the tracker Xiao Xiao mentioned today... and the mysterious figure in night-blooming clothes he had just seen... all made him have many worries... As for Qiao Ying saying he might be another king of the angel race, he didn't take it to heart at all, thinking she was joking...
………….
The next day, Ye Feng got up very early. After confirming some previous arrangements with Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, he quickly headed to the library of Dawn Academy, as the final round of the selection for the young talents of the City of Arcane Arts was held there. Under the guidance of the staff, Ye Feng soon arrived at the eighth floor of the Dawn Academy library. Unlike the previous crowded situation, there were very few people here. Excluding the staff, there were only nine others besides Ye Feng, who were the individuals who had advanced to the fourth round of assessment. At this moment, all nine candidates were sitting quietly behind a table. Upon seeing Ye Feng arrive, a staff member came up to guide him to his seat.
"Clack, clack~!" Not long after Ye Feng was seated, the sound of high heels on the ground echoed from behind him.
"Why is it her?" Ye Feng curiously turned his head to look and was somewhat surprised to find that the person who had arrived was the same woman he had seen on the ninth floor of the Dawn Academy library before, wearing a sky-blue long dress with a peach blossom pinned to her hair, as beautiful as a fairy from a painting. Even more surprising to Ye Feng was that behind the woman in the sky-blue long dress were two people: one was Shui Ling, one of the Five Elites of Arcane Arts, and the other was Li Shu, the white-haired librarian he had met before.
"What's the situation with this woman? Is she the examiner for today's selection?" Looking at Shui Ling and Li Shu following the woman in the sky-blue long dress like subordinates, Ye Feng was puzzled.
"Hello everyone, congratulations on standing out from the crowd of young talents and entering this selection of the City of Arcane Arts!"
"The examiner for this selection will be personally appointed by the City Lord!" Shui Ling announced in a deep voice after the woman in the sky-blue long dress sat down on the red wooden chair in the center in front of the candidates. As his voice fell, he bowed slightly towards the woman in the sky-blue long dress on the red wooden chair.
"No way... The City Lord?" Ye Feng was stunned upon hearing Shui Ling's words, and the other nine candidates exchanged bewildered glances, filled with shock and doubt.
"I am Yue Yan, some of you may have seen me like this before..." At this moment, the woman in the sky-blue long dress spoke. As her voice fell, her body flashed with light, and a pair of ice-blue armor instantly appeared. A thin veil covered her face, and she exuded an extremely powerful pressure.
"Do you have any more questions now?" Although the suffocating pressure from the woman in the sky-blue long dress was fleeting, it still made several candidates' faces pale and their bodies break out in a cold sweat. Ye Feng's expression also changed...
