70: Chapter 70 Heading to the Volcano

Despite emergency efforts, Wang Yixuan ultimately didn't make it.

He was scared to death.

But he did provide a name from the monster race: Mu Men…

And the name that appeared in Jia Gu Yi Yan's mind was Mu Men De Pei.

Jia Gu Yi Yan couldn't be sure if he was the Mysterious Person Wang Yixuan had met 25 years ago.

Jia Gu Yi Yan, who had been walking, suddenly stopped.

“What is it?”

White Feather turned to look at Jia Gu Yi Yan, who was now lowering his head, lost in thought.

“There’s no time left.”

“Mu Men is still looking for me. The next monster appearance will definitely be a trap.”

The appearance of the evolved monster this time, and Wang Yixuan's ambush, might not have been Mu Men's doing.

It was likely some kind of accident.

The next monster appearance is highly likely to be a scheme designed by Mu Men to capture and eliminate him.

“...You can choose not to fight.”

White Feather turned her head and said.

“Watch innocent people die because of me?”

White Feather didn't answer, but it seemed she already had.

“If I did something like that, I probably wouldn’t be able to transform again.”

“Because I myself couldn’t accept that kind of me.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan's body was still wrapped in bandages, but his muscles were tensing up, one by one.

“I’m going to that Volcano.”

“To get that natural card.”

This was the only strategy Jia Gu Yi Yan could think of to break the deadlock.

Now, he had inherited the First Generation’s power and armor, and he himself had grown.

He possessed Rainstorm E, a water-attribute natural card that countered fire.

At the same time, he also obtained an Ape E.

He was now qualified to seek a natural card.

“No!”

White Feather quickly rejected Jia Gu Yi Yan.

“That Volcano is too conspicuous. Do you think the monsters haven't noticed the activity there?”

“Mu Men has likely already deduced the connection between the natural phenomena and the natural card.”

“If I were Mu Men, I would set up a dragnet on that Volcano.”

“And simultaneously investigate everyone heading to that Volcano to find the Fire Finch’s Summoner.”

“Then they’d come knocking on your door and directly eliminate you!”

They were far too passive.

The power they possessed was not on the same scale as what the monsters commanded.

All they could do was hide their identities, act cautiously, and erase all their traces.

And if even a hint of a clue was exposed and caught by Mu Men,

They would follow the trail, block the door, and deliver a fatal blow.

Seemingly having choices, in reality, Jia Gu Yi Yan now only had two options.

Either wait for Mu Men to orchestrate the next monster attack and then rush into the prepared trap.

Or rush into the Volcano Island’s dragnet to obtain the card hidden within the Volcano’s natural phenomena.

“You understand there’s only one way, Miss Bai.”

“...At least, at least…”

“Wait until your injuries are better.”

White Feather gripped the folder in her hand.

She knew her thinking was wrong, but now, she somewhat regretted handing the Summoner to Jia Gu Yi Yan that day.

How heavy a burden had she placed in his hands?

“...I’ll help you forge your identity.”

“To confuse their judgment.”

She finally spoke.

At this moment, White Feather felt as if she had returned to that day, the day she handed the Summoner to Jia Gu Yi Yan.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger.”

“I'll definitely die out there this time, so I won't have to see your annoying face again for the rest of my life.”

“…”

“What else do you want me to say? Say, ‘Wait for me to come back, and then I’ll marry this beautiful Nurse?’”

Jia Gu Yi Yan casually struck up a conversation with a passing Nurse.

The lovely Nurse simply smiled politely and gracefully.

“If you plant a flag like that, let alone the Volcano, you’ll drown in the sea on the way.”

“So, reverse flag-planting is very important.”

“Don’t wait for me to come back, absolutely do not wait for me to come back.”

After Jia Gu Yi Yan finished speaking, he stepped ahead of White Feather.

White Feather sighed and followed him.

...

The Volcano where the natural phenomena occurred was located in an archipelago in the southeastern sea area of the continent.

To get there, one must take a plane or high-speed train to Haizhou City on the southeastern coast, then take a ferry to Wanzhou Island.

Finally, from Wanzhou Island, one would need to hire a fishing boat or another outgoing sailboat to reach that Volcano Island.

Motorcycle F can fly, but flying requires entering combat mode.

At that time, Jia Gu Yi Yan would also have to transform.

This consumes a lot of stamina.

In its normal state, Motorcycle F cannot fly; it is merely faster than ordinary means of transportation.

Therefore, for long-distance travel, one still needs to take planes, high-speed trains, or ferries.

To be realistic, motorcycles can't even go on highways.

For example…

“Fire Finch Armored Warrior, traffic laws state that motorcycles cannot go on highways. Besides, does your Motorcycle have a license plate? Can you show me your motor vehicle driver’s license? From the sound of it, your Motorcycle seems to have been illegally modified.”

“I understand all that, but the monster is on the highway!”

Heh, such a situation probably wouldn't occur.

Jia Gu Yi Yan changed his clothes, then straightened his collar and put on a knitted beret.

At this moment, his chest, arms, thighs, and calves beneath his clothes were still wrapped in bandages.

But the stitched wounds inside had already had their sutures removed.

He had the card holder equipped at his waist, and the Summoner was tucked into his embrace.

The remaining injuries were insignificant; running the Mian Yu Technique along the way and giving himself a few injections should heal them.

As for his identity, White Feather had already forged it for him.

After passing through security, he boarded the plane.

Although the Summoner and card holder appeared to be metal, the test results indicated otherwise.

No security device would detect their presence.

Picking up his checked luggage, Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the forged ID card in his hand.

His current identity was that of a young entrepreneur traveling for leisure.

Yang Wenyi.

Although his physique was somewhat more robust than other entrepreneurs, wasn't it perfectly reasonable for a young entrepreneur to enjoy fitness and exercise?

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the ID card in his hand, and people nearby looked over, but all maintained a certain distance.

After all, Jia Gu Yi Yan's physique was indeed robust and eye-catching, and...

He was indeed very handsome.

He boarded the plane, felt it begin to take off, and then pulled down his hat, slightly obscuring his eyes.

Next, he began to circulate the Mian Yu Technique to recover from his injuries.

Although he was circulating the Mian Yu Technique, he was fully aware of the surrounding movements.

After all, his spirit had now surpassed human limits by a significant margin.

It even fell into the realm of “super-perception.”

Within a certain range of himself, he could clearly perceive the movements of others.

According to White Feather's deductions,

Mu Men clearly knew that his main area of activity was in Lai Guang City.

And to travel from Lai Guang City to the Volcano, he would have to take this flight from Lai Guang City to Haizhou City.

Therefore, Mu Men might have arranged informants or monsters on all flights between these two locations.

To test for the presence of the Summoner.

Once he was discovered, and he dealt with the monsters and informants,

Mu Men would narrow down the range of potential Summoners to all passengers on that particular flight, thereby pinpointing his true identity.

To prevent this from happening,

His boarding information and surveillance records had all been remotely cleaned by White Feather using Hacker F.

He was also using a forged identity.

“If it’s a test, then bring it on.”
