Chapter 826 194: Intelligence on the 6th Soul Pet!
Spinning thoughts surged in his mind, and in an instant, Wen Yu thought of another wish!
His eyes gleamed brightly, and Wen Yu slowly organized his words, carefully saying, "I want to know the location of the most powerful mutant life form on Earth, both now and in the future!"
That's right, it wasn't about the "price of power," nor was it about Tang Haofei. Rahal would soon be taken back to Yanjing, and the matters concerning Tang Haofei were things for Tang Haofei and Lin Haifeng to consider.
Compared to Tang Haofei, Wen Yu was more concerned about his own interests and power. As a Soul Master, the enhancement brought by an extremely powerful soul pet would be vastly apparent.
As for using the term "mutant life-form," this was a result of Wen Yu's deliberation. The word "mutant" completely excludes professionists. If Wen Yu's question referred to a "life form," ninety-nine percent of the Star Praying answers would point to Tang Haofei, ninety percent point to Wen Yu himself, and only the remaining one-tenth percent would be the result Wen Yu truly wanted!
This time, the response from Star Praying was rather slow. In a daze, Wen Yu saw the sky full of stars radiating brilliant light. As if connected by strange lines, these lines interwove and intertwined, seemingly forming a gigantic, starlit brain.
Wen Yu squinted his eyes, was this contemplation?
After about a minute, Star Praying finally gave an answer.
"Cost: 1000 Level 10 magic crystals. Or: 2000 years of life!"
Wen Yu took a heavy breath. It was too expensive, just too expensive—for just a piece of location information!
The reason for such a cost was apparent to Wen Yu—because the most powerful mutant creature would be born in an extremely distant future.
Events that have already occurred and those yet to occur undoubtedly have different values.
Therefore, Wen Yu did not agree to the price set by Star Praying; instead, he changed his approach.
"I want to know the location of the most powerful mutant life form on Earth six months from now."
In six months, it would be enough to capture all mutant creatures born between now and then.
Wen Yu calculated based on the time of the Level Lock. With the current attack progress of the Demon Tribe and the destruction they caused to Earth's environment, no matter what, the Level Lock from Level 5 to Level 6 will surely be broken within six months.
Wen Yu no longer required the strongest, just the strongest in Level 6, which was an acceptable compromise.
"Confirm wish change? Note to the user: this is the final wish change; regardless of whether the wish is fulfilled, the user will be teleported out of the Prayer Space."
Rightfully so, otherwise, through successive unsuccessful wishes, one could gather a lot of free information even without spending any cost.
"Confirm."
"Cost: 10000 Level 5 magic crystals!"
Still expensive, a single piece of location information wasn't worth 10000 Level 5 magic crystals, so...
"Agree."
As soon as Wen Yu spoke, a massive amount of magic crystals surged out from his space ring, dropping onto the floor of the Prayer Space and then disappearing.
10000 Level 5 magic crystals were merely a small number for Wen Yu.
Then, beams of light descended from the starry sky, swiftly weaving together in front of Wen Yu's eyes. Within a few seconds, a complete world map appeared before Wen Yu.
"In two months, the strongest mutant creature within the next half-year on Earth will emerge on the African Continent!"
On the map, the position in north-central Africa shimmered with light, as if specifically highlighted by Star Praying.
Wen Yu quickly memorized the marked location on the map. Meanwhile, the Mysterious Power emerged again, and in the next second, Wen Yu's consciousness had returned to his own body.
...
"Two months later, north-central Africa, huh..."
Wen Yu squinted his eyes again and then took out a map—the location just marked by Star Praying should be a bit north of central Africa.
In any case, for Wen Yu, it was an unknown environment.
With that thought, Wen Yu no longer pondered the issue. He directly used gentle dark power to render the point on the map into pure black, then placed the map back into his space ring.
He looked down at Rahal in his arms.
Having used Star Praying once more, Rahal was evidently exhausted, now sound asleep in Wen Yu's arms.
The corners of Wen Yu's mouth slowly curved into a smile—children, especially those with pure hearts, are always endearing.
...
The speed of the soaring Giant Dragon was extremely fast, and the vast, overwhelming aura emanated all around, enough to dispel any life form sensing this presence—be it Demon Fiends or mutant creatures.
Without danger along the way, within 10 minutes, Wen Yu had reached the predetermined meeting point.
Embracing Rahal, they waited for about half an hour until a large military flying formation was faintly visible in the distance.
...
"Chirp, chirp chirp..."
The roar of the planes resounded ceaselessly. However, amidst the mechanical roar, a louder crisp bird call captured Wen Yu's attention even more.
In the sky, a red figure approached from afar, hovering above Wen Yu's head like a splendid fiery cloud.
"Roar!"
The roar in response to the bird call came from Star beside Wen Yu.
The red figure in the sky dived down, its figure shrinking as it descended until it was only the size of a palm, then landed on Wen Yu's shoulder.
Lightly pecking twice at the little soul beast on Wen Yu's shoulder, causing the little soul beast to jump around chaotically, the red little bird began to chirp noisily.
A clear and crisp voice rang out, "Star, Star, did you miss me?"
"Didn't miss you..."
Star lifted its head haughtily and said.
"Wen Yu, what about you? You must have missed me, didn't you? I missed you. If not for wanting to see you, I wouldn't have bothered to come out."
The constant chirping continued. Lightly flicking the forehead of the Vermilion Bird on his shoulder, Wen Yu chuckled softly and then ignored the playful banter between Star and the Vermilion Bird, turning his head to look at the already landed planes in the distance.
A large number of Cathay soldiers in military uniforms exited the cabin, led by Wen Yu's old acquaintance—Old Man Fran.
With Fran at the helm, using the former Vermilion Bird War God, now one of the Vermilion Bird War Gods, leading a substantial squadron of flying mutant beasts as escort, the Cathay military's operation this time was not an ordinary one. From this, it was evident how much Cathay's military valued Rahal.
Distantly, Old Man Fran leaned on a cane, his suit impeccably tailored, exuding an air of meticulous luxury.
Even from afar, the old man bowed to Wen Yu, performing a complete gentleman's salute.
"Wen Yu, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
Wen Yu greeted Old Man Fran with a smile, then put down Rahal from his arms.
Rahal, already awakened by the loud roars and cries of the mutant beasts, looked confusedly at Old Man Fran in front of him.
The old man with a head full of white hair, Rahal had seen him through Star Sensing...
The gentle pat on his back made Rahal turn around. Lifting his head, Rahal saw Wen Yu's smile.
"Go ahead, that old grandpa is the one who came to pick you up."
