“Bang! Bang bang!” A long shot followed by two short ones marked the end of the battle.
Wen Yu expressionlessly retracted his excitement and frenzy, looking at the pile of demonic clan pursuers lying dead on the ground, before turning to continue his journey northward.
To the north lies Egypt, the land connecting the African and Asian continents.
Having left the New Hope Gathering Place, it had only been a few hours. Along the way, pursuers kept coming; however, in Wen Yu’s eyes, they were nothing more than soft shells. Without any restraints, he let loose and easily cleared these nuisances.
Now lying on the ground were the last wave of pursuers within his perception range. At this point, Wen Yu realized that the newly appointed level six commander of the demonic clan didn’t take their task of cornering him too seriously—perhaps they understood that capturing him was impossible and that the losses would be too great. So they chose to let things be, allowing a couple of pursuers to follow as a form of superficial compliance.
Both sides reached a tacit understanding, a situation where "everyone is happy"...
His sensing ability swept past like the wind, detecting that the figures of the demonic clan had nearly vanished. Wen Yu released his dark demon lord state and transformed into a beam of black light, shooting straight up into the sky.
Only stopping when he reached the border of Egypt.
……
“This is as far as I go.”
Standing beside the Suez Canal, Wen Yu reopened the Netherworld and soul realm, releasing the remnants of the New Hope Gathering Place. Just as they began to celebrate their escape from the demonic tide, he decisively poured cold water on their joy.
The noise gradually quieted down until the red wolf hesitantly approached Wen Yu, blushing like a shy girl, and asked, “Uh, Lord Wen Yu, are you leaving?”
Wen Yu nodded in response.
“Well, we… we don’t know where to go in this unfamiliar land.”
The professionals led by Lei were fine; all were above level four, meaning that even if they went to the Eternal Sky City, they could receive military support and be reused. In fact, Lei’s next plan was to head for the Eternal Sky City to find Friday and his brother.
But for the mutated beasts, crossing continents meant breaking previous territorial divisions, inevitably clashing with the interests of local mutated beasts. A battle was unavoidable, and being foreign populations, even if they were strong, they would face suppression and exclusion from the local mutated beasts in Asia.
Perhaps for them, the battle was only just beginning.
However, regarding this…
Wen Yu patted the red wolf's body and said expressionlessly, “This, we’ll handle it…”
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Wen Yu suddenly stopped, a thought flashing through his mind. In no time, he developed another idea.
“I will naturally help you resolve this!”
Wen Yu confidently thumped his chest, taking the matter upon himself. Ignoring the cheers of the fierce mutated beasts, he waved to his spirit pets, signaling that it was time for a meeting.
……
After casually setting a dark barrier to isolate external perception, Wen Yu sat on a stone, looking at all his spirit pets.
One Eye, Star, Victor, and the new sixth soul—Lolo.
Watching the distracted original trio and the worried and confused Lolo, Wen Yu thought for a while before speaking.
“Although this trip to Africa cannot change the fact that we were chased away, overall, we’ve completed what we needed to do, and the purpose of our visit has been achieved.”
With Lolo secured, Wen Yu’s trip to Africa was indeed complete.
“Next, here’s my plan.”
Wen Yu looked at his four spirit pets, then turned his gaze to Victor and Lolo.
“Victor, I want you to take Lolo around the world to collect some ant races and strive to expand the ant swarm under Lolo. What do you think?”
After listening, Victor thought briefly and then nodded.
Lolo’s strength primarily relied on the scale of the ant swarm. After the plague's devastation in Africa, only a few ant races remained. To enhance Lolo’s strength, they could only look to the ant races on other continents. With Victor’s strength, there was no place he couldn’t go, and coupled with his high intelligence and emotional intelligence, Wen Yu felt assured letting Victor take Lolo around the world.
