Once, in Beijing, the exploration of the treasure land stirred up quite a storm in the city as they sought the accounts of other worlds and their sequences. With Bai Zheng's intelligence, he certainly could not guess what Wen Yu was truly searching for.
In other words, it was highly likely that Bai knew well what a sovereign was like, and his real intention was not to convey this message to Wen Yu.
So, what was Bai's purpose…
After thinking for a moment, Wen Yu finally shook his head, giving up on speculating about Bai’s motives.
Because he simply couldn't guess.
He didn't know what Bai was truly after.
But that didn't stop Wen Yu from making up his mind—indeed, this document, especially the news regarding the soul beast upgrade, successfully attracted Wen Yu’s attention.
Unaccountably, Wen Yu's single status burst forth.
This clone's life was practically a stroke of luck; using a clone to exchange for potential clues about soul beast upgrades was indeed worth the gamble in Wen Yu’s eyes.
Moreover, whether this journey had risks remained uncertain.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu put on his clothes, transmitted a message to the mountain puppet, and then his figure transformed into light, disappearing in an instant.
……
Treasure Land No. 444 would never open; this treasure land was merely a seal set by the sovereign to confine the fate beast.
But essentially, a treasure land was still a treasure land. Wen Yu was unclear about the operational logic of the treasure land guardian under the sovereign, but every super treasure land was certainly paired with one or more treasure land guardians.
Coincidentally, Bai happened to be the person in charge of Treasure Land No. 444.
Treasure Land No. 444 was located on the African continent—not that there was an entrance to Treasure Land No. 444 on the continent, it was just that Bai had left the coordinates here.
As the gray light flickered on the horizon, a moment later, it fell directly onto the coordinates given by Bai, manifesting Wen Yu's figure.
“Bai!”
A soft voice escaped Wen Yu's mouth, yet it spread like a storm in all directions. The sound waves shattered the space, stirring up chaotic currents until, after the storm passed, a figure stumbled down from mid-air, crashing to the ground.
It was indeed Bai…
But in that moment, Bai had blood on his face and a dazed look in his eyes, clearly shaken by Wen Yu's voice.
“I've come to find you. Now open the treasure land, I want to take away my reward!”
The voice rang out once more, echoing like a magical sound in Bai's ears, with a deafening noise surging in his mind. Bai felt his eyes blur and his head spin, taking a while to calm down.
This was personal revenge…
Wen Yu had given Bai a trivial lesson, and Bai could only swallow this grievance.
Once he regained his composure, he looked at Wen Yu with a bitter smile, but his actions were swift. As a token slid from Bai's sleeve into his hand, he drew it through the air, and a space rift appeared before Wen Yu.
“Is this Treasure Land No. 444?”
Looking at the space rift before him, Wen Yu furrowed his brows, seemingly not understanding what appeared in front of him.
The space rift… was just a simple tear in space, like a scar on the fabric of reality.
However, on the other side of the rift, dense purple mist permeated the air. This mist was thick and murky, and even Wen Yu felt a hint of chill from within.
There was danger inside…
For an ordinary person, this place could be considered a deadly desperate situation, yet the vague sense told Wen Yu that the dangers in this Treasure Land No. 444 wouldn’t have much impact on him.
At the very least, it wouldn’t take his life.
That was enough…
Hearing Wen Yu’s inquiry, Bai wiped the blood and mucus from his face, then spoke hoarsely.
“This is Treasure Land No. 444. Cough, cough, you were quite ruthless just now!”
Bai jested with a bitter smile, while Wen Yu simply shook his head lightly.
“The documents you left successfully piqued my interest, so I came to meet you. What noteworthy points are there in this treasure land?”
