Chapter 172 - Searching around

n

n

n

nAmong the four Tidal Treasure Snails, one was the real Tidal Treasure Snail, one was its replica, and the other two were the Treasure Snail Images.

nHowever, all of the four shared the same abilities.

n

n

nThey were all able to seek treasures.

nIn addition to seeking treasures, they were also able to present a real-time small map.

nThis Secret Realm was not a safe place without any risks.

nBesides the giant Silver Star Fruit Tree.

n

n

nThere were also many local monsters living in the Secret Realm.

nIf you did not want to run into any danger or be obstructed by those monsters in such circumstances.

nThe Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time small map was doubtlessly the most useful ability.

n“Time to start the treasure-seeking.”

n

n

nAfter calling out the Tidal Treasure Snails, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to send them in four different directions.

nWhen the Tidal Treasure Snail was on the peak Dark Iron level, its small map could display every detail within a range of one thousand five hundred feet.

nAs to then.

nAs he achieved the peak Bronze level.

nIts small map was able to display every detail within a range of over one mile.

nSo, what if the four Tidal Treasure Snails were deployed in four different directions? How far would they be able to reach?

n

n

nIs there anyone good at maths?

nI am waiting for your answer online.

nIt is urgent!

nSwish! Swish! Swish…

nAs Ye Xuan gave his order, the four Tidal Treasure Snails flew into the distance, swirling.

nAfter he had achieved the peak Bronze level, that snail’s strength also got improved.

nIn terms of speed, they reached far away only in a flash.

nThen soon, carrying the Beast Rings Ye Xuan had given them and the jade boxes made of special materials in the Beast Rings.

n

n

nAll of the four Tidal Treasure Snails traveled more than one mile from where Ye Xuan was.

nThe jade boxes they were carrying were containers specially designed for Silver Star Fruits.

nSimultaneously, as the four Tidal Treasure Snails arrived at their destinations, four real-time small maps emerged in Ye Xuan’s mind.

nHe had cultivated the Supreme Sensing technique.

nThis method allowed him to establish a connection with his beasts despite the distance.

nHe could even attach a dash of his consciousness to the body double of his beasts or what they had called out so that he could sense every movement of theirs no matter how far apart they were.

nTogether with the four real-time small maps, countless red dots emerged in Ye Xuan’s mind.

nHe magnified those red dots and found each of them represented a monster in the Secret Realm.

nOr a student who had entered the Secret Realm with him, or a Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn Planet.

nYe Xuan sized them up with his consciousness.

nHis consciousness lingered on Fang Luotian for half a second.

nThen it lingered on Huo Tong for another half a second.

nThen it shifted to Tang Mengxia and lingered on some part of her body for twice the time. Then finally, he took his consciousness back.

n

n

n“Lil Wan!”

nHe called out Lil Wan, who upgraded to the Silver level not long ago.

nHe sent her in a direction.

nOnly a short time had passed, but he had already found one Silver Star Fruit with the aid of the Tidal Treasure Snail.

nHowever, that Silver Star Fruit was located in an extraordinary place. It was in the belly of a Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf on the peak Bronze level.

nTherefore, to get that Silver Star Fruit, he had to kill the Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf first.

nSilver Star Fruits were attractive to these monsters, too.

nEven if it was a monster on the Bronze level that swallowed a Silver Star Fruit.

nEven if their attributes did not really match, it was quite likely that the monster’s strength would improve a little bit in ten or twenty years.

nIf it were lucky enough to experience a mutation, it would even get a big gain.

nCertainly, it had to be a monster who had a stomach with special attributes, one that could stop Silver Star Fruits from dissolving.

nAt the same time, while the Silver Star Fruit they had swallowed was in their stomach, their bodies would give off a white light.

nSo, it was quite easy to identify them.

nHowever, that would also attract attacks from monsters in need of Silver Star Fruits.

nTherefore, in Ye Xuan’s opinion, that Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf might be dumb because it really should not have swallowed the Silver Star Fruit.

nWhoosh!

nLil Wan was flying very fast. She disappeared in front of Ye Xuan only in a flash.

nShe knew Ye Xuan was determined to take advantage of this trip to the Secret Realm to collect a large number of resources so that he could exchange them for the evolutionary resources she needed for her rising in stars, so she was quite motivated.

nBesides.

nShe had just achieved the Silver level, so she was eager to see how strong exactly she was.

n“Lovely.”

nSeeing Lil Wan leaving, Ye Xuan felt a little touched.

nIn fact, the Tidal Treasure Snail could deal with the Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf on the peak Bronze level by itself.

nBut that would take more time.

nTherefore, he figured it would be better to send Lil Wan to do that.

n“Let’s go there.”

nWhen Lil Wan had left, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to call out the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings. He made them turn into a pair of electric wings and equipped himself with them, one at a side of his body.

nThen he flew away, flapping the wings.

nHe found another Silver Star Fruit quickly, thanks to another Tidal Treasure Snail.

nThat Tidal Treasure Snail did not put the Silver Star Fruit into the box after finding it.

nInstead, it flew to another place where it had sensed a rich air of treasures.

nAs a result, Ye Xuan had to come here himself to pick this Silver Star Fruit up.

nWhoosh!

nIt only took the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings dozens of seconds to take Ye Xuan to a giant tree.

nHe looked over and spotted the fist-sized Silver Star Fruit shining with silver light right away.

nIt was on a giant leaf of the tree.

nWhoosh!

nAfter seeing that Silver Star Fruit, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to approach it, he took out a jade box and put the fruit in it.

nThe Silver Star Fruit suddenly had twinkling white light around it, as if it had sensed danger. It looked it was going to exert some teleportation method to flee.

nHowever, it was too late. Ye Xuan had already picked it up.

n“The third one.”

nA faint look of joy flashed across Ye Xuan’s face when he had put the Silver Star Fruit away.

nBy then, he had got three Silver Star Fruits in all.

nOne of them was right in his hand.

nAnother one was picked up by one of the Tidal Treasure Snails.

nThe last one was the one Lil Wan had just got.

nAs to that unlucky Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf which swallowed the Silver Star Fruit, Lil Wan already killed it.

n“So, this is what a Silver Star Fruit looks like!”

nIn a valley far away, Lil Wan pierced the Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun through the Wind-Winged Double-Headed Wolf body. Extending her hand, she drew the fruit to her by Mind Energy.

nHowever, she humphed after sensing that thing and then put it away immediately.

nApparently, Silver Star Fruits were useless to her.

nWhoosh!

nShe sensed Ye Xuan’s location and then flew there at high speed.

n“You four disperse and search the entire Secret Realm. Don’t come back to me until you have got every Silver Star Fruit you can get.”

nWhile Lil Wan was flying to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to disperse the four Tidal Treasure Snails after detecting how far away they were from him.

nHe suddenly realized he did not have to make the four stick with him at all.

nThey were strong enough to wander about in this Secret Realm by themselves. As long as they did not look for danger themselves, they would not run into any.

nAnd he felt secure enough at the moment to send them away.

nSo that they could fly across the entire Secret Realm quickly.

nHe would like them to get all the Silver Star Fruits that they could get for the moment.

nAs to those more difficult to get, he could wait until later.

n“Ye Xuan, wait for me!”

nNot long after the Tidal Treasure Snails had scattered, Lil Wan caught up with him from behind.

nShe landed on his shoulder right away.

nShe was going to drive the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings back into its Beast Lair as soon as she landed on Ye Xuan’s shoulder.

nI want to spend time with Ye Xuan alone.

nDon’t be a third wheel here.

n“Lil Wan, please go back to your Beast Lair for now. Lil Xi is not here. I will need to count on you to detect dangers.”

n“Copy that. No problem.”

nLil Wan agreed immediately.

nThen she flashed back into her Beast Lair.

nAs to the idea of enjoying their time together, just her and him, it was already discarded as soon as Ye Xuan raised his request to her.

n“I remember one of the Tidal Treasure Snails had sent me an image from this direction before I sensed its location for the last time.”

n“It told me there is a Silver Star Fruit hard to get, which dropped very close to a monster on the Silver level.”

nYe Xuan went in the direction marked in the last image a Tidal Treasure Snail had sent to him at high speed.

nHe just wanted to give it a try to see whether he could get that Silver Star Fruit.

nThen he would stroll around in the Secret Realm carefreely while expecting the good news from the four Tidal Treasure Snails.

nOtherwise, while the four Tidal Treasure Snails were searching the entire Secret Realm for the traces of Silver Star Fruits to collect them.

nEven if he were busy running about with Lil Wan and other beasts of his for one or two hours, it would just be in vain, and he would not get anything.

n“Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, go another direction. Go left. Don’t go right.”

nStanding on the ancient giant tree at the center of her world, Lil Wan concentrated on sensing everything in the outside world.

nShe always had acute senses.

nAnd they were even acuter when she was in her Beast Lair, so she could help Ye Xuan avoid many dangers in advance.

n…

n“Come on!”

nIn some place in the Secret Realm, three Beast Tamers from the Xia flew in a direction with frustration after killing a group of Silver Moon Flying Wolves.

nThey saw a Silver Star Fruit shining on a hill from far away earlier.

nIf it were not those Silver Moon Flying Wolves, which showed up suddenly to sabotage their plan, they would have got that Silver Star Fruit.

nAnd they would not have ended up like then, in such a hurry and worrying the Silver Star Fruit would fly away again.

nWhoosh!

nHowever, while they were speeding up, a round-shaped flowing light flashed far away and then instantly showed up on the other side of the hill.

nIt swooped at a big rock on the hill to pick up that Silver Star Fruit. Then it left right away.

n“Darn it. What is that? Give my Silver Star Fruit back to me! It is supposed to be mine!”

nThese Beast Tamers, who were running at high speed, saw the Silver Star Fruit that they were pursuing suddenly vanish from the hill in the blink of an eye.

nThat made them hit the ceiling right away. They dashed onto the hill as fast as they could.

nHowever, when they looked around after they had been at the peak of the hill, they could not find any trace of the round thing that had taken the fruit away.

nThey had no idea that they were not the only group that had experienced this in the Secret Realm at the moment.

n“Shoot. What is that? It looks like one of Ye Xuan’s beasts.”

n“It can’t be. I mean, how is that even possible?”

n
