Chapter 71: The Moon Wolf that Travels Through Space!
Yue Ling pulled out a communicator from her storage bag. Unlike a wristwatch, this communicator had the form of a mobile phone. Ye Tian glanced at Yue Ling's storage bag once more, but this time he felt no desire or interest. If he could acquire a talent for mid-level spatial manipulation, he could create a personal space pocket, something vastly superior to a storage bag. The value of a storage bag couldn't compare with that of a personal space.
"This is my father's communicator," Yue Ling explained. "It's inscribed with a formation that slowly draws in elemental energy. Even after twenty years, it can still connect with the other communicator."
Sure enough, a red dot appeared on the communicator's screen, indicating the location of the black wolf's den. "Fortunately, it's not too far. We should be able to reach there in half a day if we quicken our pace," Yue Ling estimated.
"Fine, I'll take the lead. Follow me," Ye Tian said.
Ye Tian walked in front while Yue Ling trailed behind. The two of them ran toward the location where the Soul Flowers were. Along the way, Ye Tian exhibited extraordinary power, swiftly killing any high-level beasts they encountered, some of which were so fearsome that even Yue Ling felt wary.
"Such terrifying strength," Yue Ling thought to herself. "His power might even surpass that of ordinary masters, perhaps even close to Yun Feng, that freak."
Initially, Yue Ling had not been very hopeful about obtaining the Soul Flowers. Now, however, she felt a renewed sense of confidence. Each Soul Flower was worth ten billion, and there were eight of them; she would receive four, equaling a staggering forty billion. This was an unimaginable bounty. And that didn't even consider other treasures they might find.
Half a day passed, and Ye Tian and Yue Ling had covered a long distance, overcoming several herds of high-level beasts along the way. Although Ye Tian found some of them quite formidable, he managed to escape, carrying Yue Ling with him. Finally, the duo reached their destination relatively unscathed.
"This secret realm is too dangerous. If it weren't for you, Ye Tian, I don't think I could have made it here," Yue Ling admitted.
Of course, her words were only half true. While she couldn't have taken on those beasts alone, as the daughter of the Yue family's main branch, she had her own trump cards.
Ye Tian didn't entirely trust Yue Ling's words. He believed that even without his help, Yue Ling could have reached the Soul Flowers, although she probably wouldn't have been able to deal with the black wolf.
"Yue Ling, we're partners, and I'll do my best to help you. However, you have to help too. I assume you have some kind of trump card to counter the black wolf's teleportation abilities. Otherwise, killing it would be difficult," Ye Tian said.
"Yes, I do," Yue Ling responded without hesitation. "I have a one-time-use formation that can affect space within several hundred meters for three seconds, dramatically reducing the effectiveness of teleportation. But after three seconds, the formation will be useless. This formation is worth 2 billion and isn't easy to come by. If we fail to kill the wolf, it would be a great loss for me."
"Three seconds should be enough," Ye Tian pondered aloud. He wasn't a hundred percent certain; he'd have to see the black wolf's abilities to make a definitive judgment.
Soon, Ye Tian and Yue Ling approached the black wolf's lair, which was located midway up a large mountain. Inside a huge cave, there was another world altogether, with the eight Soul Flowers growing within. Around 3,000 meters away from the lair, Ye Tian heard a wolf's howl seemingly directed at them.
"We've been discovered," Yue Ling said, her expression grave.
"They detected us from this far away?" Ye Tian wondered.
Ye Tian was utterly astonished. If it was true, then Black Wolf's spatial sensing had detected them. Yet Ye Tian felt nothing at all. This eerie ability was truly terrifying, and the fact that even a low-level spatial talent could possess such an ability only underscored how formidable spatial talents were.
The stronger the spatial talent, the less Ye Tian felt intimidated; on the contrary, he was extremely excited. Because once he killed the Black Wolf, that spatial talent would be his!
"Ye Tian, let's just go there directly. We've already been exposed!" Yue Ling suggested.
Ye Tian agreed. It was better to deal with the Black Wolf as quickly as possible to prevent any changes.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Yue Ling quickly advanced and arrived at the mouth of Black Wolf's cave.
Then, they burst into the cave. Inside was a vast space, with a hole in the ceiling connecting it to the outside world. Sunlight streamed in, making the cave as bright as the outside.
"Nice environment. This Black Wolf really knows how to pick a den," Ye Tian commented.
A powerful beastly aura filled the air. Silently, a black wolf appeared not far from Ye Tian, staring at him and Yue Ling with furious eyes.
Ye Tian activated his cloning talent to observe the Black Wolf's talents.
Type: Moon-Escaping Wolf
Bloodline Talent: Top
Spatial Talent: Medium
Enlargement Talent: Medium
Seeing the talents of the Moon-Escaping Wolf, Ye Tian was genuinely shocked. If it were in the outside world, it would undoubtedly be a top-tier beast, and a terrifying one at that within top-tier beasts. Moreover, it had not only medium spatial talent but also medium growth talent.
Judging from the name, growth talent likely allowed it to grow larger. Ye Tian naively thought this talent merely made it grow, unaware that this likely also involved a multiple-fold increase in physical strength and other attributes.
Yue Ling's father was unaware of this talent, probably because the Moon-Escaping Wolf hadn't used it at the time. Had Ye Tian not checked the wolf's talents, he might have overlooked it, which would result in failure.
"Yue Ling, you set up the array. I'll keep this Mo... Black Wolf occupied. Once the array is ready, let me know. Follow my command then!" Ye Tian almost let slip the true name of the Moon-Escaping Wolf but corrected himself just in time; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to explain how he knew its name.
"Alright," Yue Ling agreed with Ye Tian's plan.
Immediately, she took out a disc from her storage bag. The disc had mysterious patterns on it and emitted faint fluctuations that could slightly affect space. If Ye Tian successfully copied the spatial talent, he would be able to sense what those fluctuations meant—Spatial Fluctuations!
This disc was actually a disposable array plate made jointly by spatial talents and array masters, so it had the ability to affect space. However, it only slowed down teleportation; it couldn't actually stop it.
Acquiring an array that could truly prevent teleportation was beyond her reach, as it would be too valuable.
