"Character, characters?"
Hearing Wu Ye Ling's words, Wu Ye Lan immediately came to his senses, instinctively turning his head to look at the light screen.
The light screen, which had been gradually dimming, brightened considerably again, and lines of text began to appear.
"Old guy, to be honest... I don't know if giving you such a vague hope is right..."
"After thinking about it, I still decided to tell you..."
"Facing the divine envoy, if you and I join forces, plus the one at the seaside restaurant, and cooperate with the spirit-镇灵法阵 (zhen ling fa zhen), we will naturally have a fighting chance, but it's impossible now..."
"I've recalled everyone I know, and if there's anyone who can fight the divine envoy, or even kill the divine envoy, it's probably him!"
"You should know about the news of the destruction of Brad Base, right? Although the method was a bit unusual, I was present at the time. The situation was complicated and involved many people, but without exaggeration, the Ten Blood Guards and the Blood Ancestor of Brad Base all died at his hands..."
"Although his strength hasn't reached Diamond yet, his true energy can easily penetrate the spatial energy barrier... In a sense, he is much stronger than a general Diamond-level expert!"
"His name is Ye Feng... he probably looks like this..."
...........
"You have a reinforcement fruit, don't you? He should be interested in this, and maybe you can ask for his help... But he's looking for the Creation Lamp, so his route follows the arcane pointer, and there's no way to predict his whereabouts..."
"According to the last time I met him, he will be moving further and further away from the Adventurer's Guild..."
"Old friend, take care! If all else fails, come to Mech City. It should be able to hold out for quite some time here..."
Lines of text appeared rapidly on the light screen, with a very crude "portrait" made of many lines of characters in the middle.
"This..."
After reading the text on the light screen, Wu Ye Lan stared at the "portrait" for a long time before turning to look at Wu Ye Ling, "Xiao Ling, are you and that old guy Shen Botian talking about the same Ye Feng, and they happen to be the same person?!"
"I..."
Wu Ye Ling looked shocked, "This portrait on the screen, although a bit abstract... it really looks like Ye Feng... He... he destroyed Brad Base? Brad Base, one of the seven major powers?"
"Shen Botian has no reason to joke with me about this matter!"
Wu Ye Lan's expression was serious, "True energy... is that young man a cultivator?... and he can actually penetrate the spatial energy barrier... In that case, he has a great advantage against the Ten Blood Guards of Brad Base, but to destroy Brad Base seems a bit difficult!"
"Shen Botian was present... did he make a move... or was there another expert helping?"
"But if, as you said, Xiao Ling, he could kill the Hell Cerberus, then maybe he really could destroy Brad Base!"
As he said this, Wu Ye Lan looked at his granddaughter with some confusion, "But according to Shen Botian, his route will be further and further away from the Adventurer's Guild, so how did he end up at the Adventurer's Guild?"
"Grandpa, Ye Feng is indeed looking for the Creation Lamp."
"His original route was not towards the Adventurer's Guild, but he changed his route because he guessed that there might be someone related to the gods at the Adventurer's Guild!"
Wu Ye Ling replied quickly.
"This..."
Wu Ye Lan frowned, staring at Wu Ye Ling for a while, thoughtfully, "Xiao Ling, those four divine rune stones... weren't they provided by Ye Feng?"
Wu Ye Ling frowned slightly, neither admitting nor denying.
"Wait... wait a minute, Shen Botian?"
Wu Ye Ling looked surprised, "Grandpa, you were just talking to Grandpa Shen Botian? Mech City is super far from here, how could you communicate in time?"
"That's a long story... This device can only be used once, and using it carries a great risk!"
Saying that, Wu Ye Lan opened the door and walked out, taking out a large bird resembling an eagle from a large iron cage in the yard.
Under Wu Ye Ling's confused gaze, Wu Ye Lan tied the communication device he had just used to communicate with Shen Botian and several bombs to the legs of the giant bird, then unfastened its chains.
"Caw!~"
The giant bird let out a strange cry, then soared into the air, disappearing into the night sky.
"Grandpa, this Mad Owl of Tangled Paths, although it can fly a very long distance, it flies randomly. It can't be used like a carrier pigeon to deliver things, right?"
Wu Ye Ling looked at Wu Ye Lan with great confusion. She knew her grandfather had several Mad Owls of Tangled Paths since she was a child.
However, although these raptors were strong and could fly very far, they could not be used as carrier pigeons at all because they flew randomly...
She had originally thought they were like chickens, for eating or laying eggs, but that wasn't the case...
"Xiao Ling, the device that allowed for super long-distance communication emitted some special fluctuations after use... Someone troublesome will find us based on this... We can't let them find this place!"
Wu Ye Lan looked at the night sky and spoke slowly, a hint of reminiscence in his expression.
"I see..."
Wu Ye Ling nodded, "Grandpa, I'll ask Ye Feng tomorrow. I didn't want to directly mention the reinforcement fruit during dinner, as it feels like a transaction... not good..."
"Okay, you can!"
...........
The next day,
"What the hell is this? If a reinforcement fruit were to be auctioned, many people would want it. Logically, the news should have spread like wildfire, but I asked several people yesterday and no one has heard of it!"
Ye Feng, who had just walked out of an auction house, looked puzzled.
"Ye Feng, what is a reinforcement fruit? You seem very concerned about it!"
Qiao Ying looked at Ye Feng with some confusion.
"Yes!"
Ye Feng nodded, "It's a very magical fruit, also called the forbidden fruit. It's about the size of a fist, bright red, and looks a bit like a tomato~"
"This description..."
Qiao Ying frowned slightly, "Since this reinforcement fruit is such a magical fruit, it must be worth a lot. Perhaps only a few people know about it. The final items at auctions are usually not announced loudly, only some major clients know!"
"Forget it, there are still two days left. I'll find an opportunity to ask Ling directly!~"
Ye Feng quickly came up with a plan. He said to Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, "Let's go, let's continue to stroll around. There are many interesting snacks here~"
"Oh, okay~"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, clearly very interested.
………….
Around noon,
"Ah!~"
"Who is it? So badly injured!"
"Damn it, don't come near me!"
"Get lost!~"
…………
Ye Feng and the other two were eating at a beef restaurant when suddenly, a commotion erupted from the street outside the window.
……….
