CHAPTER 46: 46. SUPREME TREASURE ACQUIRED (PLEASE FOLLOW)

Midnight.

The wind blowing over the rooftop was noticeably less biting than it had been a few days ago.

This was clearly a sign of warming temperatures.

Yang Fan stared at the three Night Owls, gripping the Soul Stealing Wisp in his right hand, and silently intoned, "Add points!"

"Buzz!"

The Soul Stealing Wisp gently vibrated.

The accumulated Spiritual Source Value immediately consumed 0.6 points, leaving 16 points remaining.

Each Night Owl received 0.2 points of Spiritual Source Value.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The Night Owls began to call spontaneously, flapping their wings continuously.

Yang Fan, using the sensing power brought by Spirit Concealment, immediately detected the Night Owls’ life aura, which was rapidly strengthening.

Their feathers visibly grew a lot, becoming sleek and glossy on the surface.

Their claws became thicker and stronger, while their beaks and nails faintly glowed with a layer of shimmer.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Their calls also became louder, carrying a sense of deep vitality.

Yang Fan quickly commanded, "Don’t call."

The three Night Owls obediently followed orders, promptly closing their beaks.

Soon.

The changes ceased.

Yang Fan waved his right hand: "Eat."

A pile of cut fish instantly appeared before the Night Owls.

This was the pre-prepared food.

The Night Owls immediately began devouring it ravenously.

Their physique had been strengthened, now urgently needing food to replenish nutrients.

Not long after.

Yang Fan issued a command: "Take off!"

The three Night Owls soared into the sky, carrying their master, swiftly flying westward.

He activated the Light Spirit Superpower, merging his whole being into the wind, avoiding being a hindrance to the Night Owls’ flight.

Yang Fan glanced at his phone, feeling extremely satisfied: "Not bad!"

The phone screen displayed the figure — 106 kilometers/hour.

In comparison.

The last time he rode the Night Owls to Anling City, even with borrowed wind power, the speed was only 76 kilometers/hour.

This was a very noticeable difference.

Yang Fan urged, "A little faster!"

"Hoo!"

The Night Owls flapped their wings vigorously.

Flight speed increased another notch — 118 kilometers/hour.

Yang Fan instructed again: "You are now mutated Night Owls; learn to perceive the power of the wind."

He used Mind Link to convey his understanding of the wind to the three Night Owls.

After a few seconds.

Yang Fan noticed the Night Owls’ flight posture had undergone a subtle transformation, giving an unexplainable feeling of harmony.

Flight speed changed once more — 138 kilometers/hour.

This was almost the Night Owls’ limit.

Yang Fan was even more pleased: "From now on, I have a private jet for travel."

The wealthy have private jets, and a single flight costs hundreds of thousands.

While his private jet only needs a few fish for a flight and can take off and land anywhere.

Safe!

Energy-efficient!

Environmentally friendly!

*

Arriving at Jingyun County was a bit faster than expected.

The three Night Owls, midway through the flight, discovered an air stream channel, with top speed soaring to 156 kilometers, faster than most regular trains.

One thirty in the morning.

Outside Jingyun County.

The Night Owls flapped their wings, landing on a small hill.

From this vantage point.

The county’s lights were scattered here and there, with most areas engulfed in darkness.

The mountain peaks surrounding the county were like a group of silent giants, overlooking the quiet and soundless county.

According to what he knew, Jingyun County was located in the Helian Mountain Range, where transportation was not convenient.

Most young people used to leave for work, while the elderly and children stayed at home.

Now, with various disasters occurring frequently, many people returned home, leading to a noticeable increase in population in the county.

Yang Fan suddenly had a thought: "Perhaps for the children, disasters don’t seem to be bad; they can see their parents every day instead of just during the New Year."

He had seen videos before where parents were preparing to drive back to the company after the New Year, leaving the children crying bitterly.

He turned to see his junior and instructed, "Find a place to rest."

"Hoo!"

The three Night Owls quickly vanished into the night sky.

Yang Fan leapt down, gracefully gliding over a hundred meters, landing silently on a street.

At that instant.

He felt a sense of being watched.

Yang Fan relied on his sensing ability to look over and saw a white cat crouched at the corner of the second floor of a nearby house.

The cat’s eyes were wide open, as if it had seen a ghost.

Yang Fan smiled slightly, quietly activating his Spirit Concealment Superpower, and disappeared from sight.

"Meow～"

The white cat let out a loud cry, its fur standing on end instantly, and it turned tail to run in panic, almost falling from the second floor.

It really had seen a ghost.

Yang Fan chuckled softly, "That’s why you should just sleep soundly at night, otherwise you might see things you shouldn’t."

He moved like a ghost across the street, walking about a kilometer to reach a self-built house.

His destination had arrived.

Yang Fan glanced around and instantly determined there were five people inside the house, consisting of two adults, two children, and one elderly person.

He looked at the tightly closed door, scratching his head a bit, "I can’t just break in forcibly, can I?"

As someone with principles, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Yang Fan soon had an idea, "There will be plenty of mutated creatures appearing nearby in the future, why not make a commotion to have the government evacuate the tens of thousands of people from Jingyun County sooner?"

He laughed again, "Instead of breaking in, why not have them open the door to welcome guests themselves?"

Yang Fan willed a faint glimmer to quietly appear on his fingertip.

It was—Thunder Shock Seal.

He raised his finger towards the night sky and flicked it lightly.

The Thunder Shock Seal transformed into a streak of light, ascending a thousand meters into the sky in just a breath.

"Boom!"

The Thunder Shock Seal exploded.

A large mass of red lightning appeared instantly above the county, illuminating the entire county.

The lights in the county, received an invisible impact, flickered and then extinguished.

Moments later.

The lightning diminished.

The county fell into complete darkness.

Yang Fan was a bit surprised, "I didn’t expect that the explosion of the Thunder Shock Seal would have effects similar to an electromagnetic shock!"

He murmured again, "Anyway, the county will be evacuated soon, damaging a few public facilities isn’t a big deal."

Mutated creatures will soon appear around the county, and the government will certainly evacuate the populace at the fastest speed; by tomorrow, this place will be deserted, and the damaged facilities won’t matter.

A few seconds later.

The county became lively.

Many residents were startled by the light and got up, opening their doors to see what was going on.

"Creak!"

Accompanied by the sound of a door opening.

The self-built house in front opened its doors to welcome guests.

A disheveled couple, filled with doubt, came out to investigate.

Yang Fan swiftly walked past them, slipped into the doorway, and entered the storeroom with ease.

He grasped the doorknob of the storeroom, gently opened the door, and successfully found a wooden craft ship.

He stored the wooden ship into the Space Pearl and grinned, "The fourth curiosity acquired."

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment and left behind two bags of fifty pounds of rice as payment for the wooden ship.

He softly said, "This family should consider the two bags of rice as a secret and won’t spread the word."

If this family reveals it, the two bags of rice might end up being confiscated.

As long as they’re not foolish, they’d understand the principle of not flaunting their wealth.

Yang Fan didn’t linger any longer and quickly left the self-built house.

*

A corner of the county.

Several soldiers in uniform were solemnly gazing at the sky.

They were the Liren Special Team, stationed as a squad in Jingyun County.

A soldier said in a low voice, "Captain, the red lightning above the county just now is definitely a type of Supernatural Power."

The captain nodded, "Report it."

Though they didn’t know exactly what had happened, the lightning was so grand in scale that everyone knew it must be significant.

Ten minutes later.

The emergency from Jingyun County, after layers of reporting, was quickly transmitted to the Jiuzhou Corps Headquarters in Shangjing City.

A captain responsible for intelligence took a look at the image and immediately exclaimed, "Big shot!"

These two weighty words soon alerted a group of senior officers.

"During the last incident in Anling City, some patrol officers and villagers witnessed red light, which was later confirmed that a mutated macaque was killed; now with the red light in Jingyun County, it’s highly likely the big shot."

"The red lightning illuminated the entire county; besides the big shot, no other superpower could achieve this."

"The big shot is absolutely Great Xia’s strongest and possibly also Canglan Star’s strongest."

"Let’s not stray off-topic; we need to figure out why the big shot traveled across hundreds of kilometers to Jingyun County suddenly?"

"Unknown, but it’s certain; Jingyun County is likely to have something major happen."

"The big shot wouldn’t go somewhere without reason; let’s quickly dispatch a team there."

"I agree!"

"I have no objection!"

The first resolution was reached.

The officers started discussing another issue.

"The big shot went to Jingyun County; I think Jingyun County might not be too safe anymore."

"Jingyun County is surrounded by mountains; who knows what kind of monstrous things are hiding in the mountains?"

"Suggest to the highest executive council to include Jingyun County in the first batch of emergency evacuation lists."

"I agree!"

"No time to lose; quickly write the report."
