Chapter 1765: Get On Board

Finally, with the collaborative efforts of his companions, Yang Yu confirmed the twenty locations to head to next and knew what needed to be done upon arrival.

“These locations span the entire world.

The designer considered what would happen if the person with Star Eyes was captured.

As long as one location can be guarded, the enemy won’t be able to obtain the treasure that summons the Sea Mother.”

After the Sea Mother sank into the sea, the Main War Faction of Lucaism used a series of techniques to seal the device that could summon the “Sea Mother,” entrusting the key to the Nine-Life Cat Demon for safekeeping.

And they designed a series of complex rules to prevent others from easily obtaining that device.

The sky became their treasure map. To understand the treasure map in the sky requires a bit of special technology.

They chose the technology named “Star Eye.”

Originally, this technology was developed to periodically repair the barrier that seals the entire planet, now it’s perfectly suitable for ensuring the path is secure.

The scroll named [Sky Lock] is the treasure map of the starry sky.

Only those with Star Eyes can understand the map on [Sky Lock] and determine the direction according to the magic flow direction on the illusory starry sky to find the treasure.

Fragments of [Sky Lock] have a chance of appearing in the final level of a large maze, and only those knowledgeable about the maze can extract them.

Once extracted, the magic-condensed fragment of [Sky Lock] will begin a countdown and will collapse into magic power after a certain time.

The “treasure map” recorded by [Sky Lock] is not static and changes over time.

Therefore, no matter how many times the Demon King comes, they still need someone with Star Eyes to understand the “treasure map.”

Besides needing to understand this treasure map, one must travel the entire world within a year to locate those twenty places and perform actions according to the puzzle’s instructions to accurately determine the direction.

If all tasks are not completed before the treasure map refreshes, everything has to start over.

There are six months left until the next refresh, and the temporary teleportation array has been dismantled. Yang Yu and his companions have no confidence in traversing the entire world within half a year on their resources alone.

Not to mention, they need to follow the path in sequence.

Some locations are close to each other, while others are tens of thousands of miles apart.

Clearly, one location is right next to another, yet Yang Yu and his team need to circle half the planet to check in there.

This indeed would turn into a long and boring journey.

“Sol Rott, have any of the other dragons given you orders that you can no longer transform into a giant dragon?”

“It’s not that I can’t become a dragon, but I’m explicitly forbidden from using the teleportation magic that tears the sky.

They also told me, if I must transform into a dragon to act, to do so at night wherever possible to prevent commotion.

That rule is not stringent.

As long as I can use magic to completely hide my form, moving during the day is not out of the question,” Sol Rott truthfully informed Yang Yu.

Yang Yu asked further: “If we travel nonstop to visit all these places, how long would it take?”

“Rushing at full speed, it would probably take about two months.

Considering the need to use Star Eyes to find the specific special spots and apply the method for correction,

this time might be even longer.”

“I see…”

Mumbling to himself, Yang Yu was about to fall into thought, when Gao Yuanyi’s voice suddenly rang in his ear:

“Why don’t we just split up!

By the time I get back from the Demon World, you guys should have sorted that out.”

“Hmm…” Yang Yu thought for a moment and agreed with Gao Yuanyi’s idea, “Then let’s divide into two teams. I’ll assign some people to go with you to the Demon World.”

Gao Yuanyi immediately seemed displeased: “Are you doubting my abilities?

I can handle everything by myself; I don’t need anyone else’s help.

Besides, that’s my hometown over there, and I’ve lived there for many years. If you go over there, you would just be burdens.

If you want to visit the Demon World, wait a few years until things settle down, and I’ll invite you over to take a look.”

After saying this, Gao Yuanyi realized the [Red Blood Rose] was not in the know, and noticed the people from [Red Blood Rose] were all staring at him one by one.

Wanjing Zhuhua adjusted his glasses and spoke: “For a long time now, I’ve wanted to ask…

I’m interested in the two new members of your team.

Could we talk… can you introduce them?”

Since an ordinary diversion wouldn’t work, Yang Yu simply didn’t pretend anymore:

“Gao Yuanyi, you mentioned, let me think about it further and consider the pros and cons.

For now, take off your mask first.

Sol Rott, start preparing.

The third location we’re heading to happens to be near the Demon King City; after we finish with the first two places, I’ll make my own decision.”

Gao Yuanyi was about to say more, but in the end, he complied with Yang Yu’s request, took off his mask, revealing the blue face and ghost horns of a member of the Ghost Clan.

Gordon and the others were instantly startled by Gao Yuanyi’s identity.

Yang Yu nonchalantly said: “If your intelligence is a bit more up-to-date, you could collect the news of my retreat on the Wansheng Republic battlefield. If your information were even more updated, you’d hear rumors that I seemed to have been rescued by a demon clan.

That demon clan member is him.

As for Sol Rott… if you have paid attention to the battle with the Evil Dragon, you should know I enlisted a giant dragon to participate in the fight.

That’s him.”

A magnificent flow of magic erupted from Sol Rott, first forming a barrier outside, then a dense magic power enveloped Sol Rott completely.

Sol Rott’s body grew dragon scales in rapid succession, his physique expanding rapidly to transform into a massive and grandiose Black Giant Dragon, its underbite like a massive pair of pliers, as if it could destroy everything.

Gordon was so shocked his jaw dropped. Just a few years ago, Yang Yu and his group were still timid adventurers, so why is the difference so vast now?

The only comfort Gordon found was that, despite possessing such great power and reliable companions, Yang Yu had not become arrogant; he still politely and cheerfully sought help when needed.

“Your adventure stories seem far more spectacular than ours.

Since it will take at least two months… after you finish interpreting the pages, how about you share your stories with us?”

Yang Yu smiled and said: “Of course. As long as… you don’t think I’m boastful.

Oh, and I have some new ideas here I want to confirm regarding the execution difficulty.

If possible, I would have to trouble you two magicians once more.”

Wanjing Zhuhua adjusted his glasses once again: “As long as you don’t treat us like beasts of burden, we can discuss anything.”

Yang Yu awkwardly laughed: “In your eyes, what kind of person am I?

Surely not a villainous capitalist, right?

I don’t want you to hang me from a lamppost!

Time is of the essence, and I want to get all of this done quickly, end this adventure, and have a good rest at home.

Let’s get on the road first!”
