Chapter 1050: Chapter 22 Contact!

"Chaos Fruit can run away?" Jia Yan said, somewhat surprised.

"Indeed, I never said it wasn’t a creature," Souwu replied with a hint of a smile.

Jia Yan paused for a moment, then came to his senses. He had merely been misled by the name Souwu had mentioned. The so-called Chaos Fruit could indeed be a creature capable of movement.

"Alright, let’s take a short break here and then set off in search of the Chaos Fruit. This is what it looks like."

As Souwu spoke, a small holographic image emitted by the device he wore displayed the creature’s form. It had four eyes, a long mouth, similar to a duck’s, but the stature and strength noted were clearly beyond anything a duck on Earth could achieve.

"With strength around the Heavenly level, it also possesses a unique burrowing ability; there’s almost no natural predator in the entire area! Even the Three-headed Monsters commanded by Stellar Honorable dignitaries can’t do anything to them?" Jia Yan read through the data on the so-called Chaos Fruit in surprise.

"Exactly, even the sacred level monsters here can’t do much against these two Heavenly level Chaos Fruits. Of course, I’m not very familiar with this region; perhaps there are more than just these two, or, after decades, these two might have gone extinct. Either way, we must go out and see," Souwu stated indifferently.

Jia Yan looked at him and then said, "If there’s really only one left, how shall the two of us divide it?" Although he was not in a hurry to advance to an Eternal Star Rank, he wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

"Heh, naturally it belongs to whoever captures it," said Souwu. "Plus, we need to cooperate; otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble of bringing you here?"

"These creatures have little resistance to flying monsters. Despite their four eyes, they are practically useless; they can only sense ground vibrations to avoid danger. I’ve tested it before; although they can sense the approach of flying creatures at close range, the distance at which they notice us is greatly reduced. If we collaborate carefully, we’ll definitely have the chance to capture them!"

This, then, was the real reason Souwu had sought out Jia Yan.

Now Jia Yan understood. The other party wanted to find a capable flying creature to assist him because the Chaos Fruit, due to environmental factors, has a poor perception of flying lifeforms. Hence, the chance of capturing them by two flying creatures increases significantly!

The two discussed the issue for a while, and then Jia Yan followed Souwu’s lead for a tour inside the broken warship.

It was only after touring the warship that Jia Yan understood the vast gap between strong beings. Creatures like Rong Bo were strong, but limited by their field of vision; they couldn’t possibly own a warship like Souwu’s former teammates. The difference wasn’t just in the warship’s strength but also in its former crew members, each of whom was a formidable presence.

Souwu, as the captain and one of the two most powerful players on the team at the sacred level, faced extreme danger after his teammates died, barely escaping the deadly situation caused by the struggle for the Chaos Fruit. He then immediately fell into the cognitive decline brought about by aging, weakening his strength to the lowest point, and, in the end, had no choice but to use the warship’s main body from outer space to collide with a sacred level Three-headed Monster here, barely escaping this place.

"All eight powerful beings akin to Souwu died in this area. It seems things are far from as simple as Souwu has said. I must be cautious going forward!"

Having learned of the number of dead strong ones and their strength, Jia Yan became even more mindful of his own safety.

"According to my earlier observations, in three days the Foggy Area will enter a weakening phase for about a week. At that time, the activity frequency of the central area’s Three-headed Monsters will decrease, which will also be our opportunity. With the danger lessened, we can use the remains of this warship as our base camp, with both of us splitting into two teams to search. If a Chaos Fruit is found, we can communicate using my specially made device."

Souwu’s preparations were thorough, even perfecting a device capable of short-distance communication in the fog.

"I wonder if this communicator could possibly connect with the Giant Mosquito Fleet above..."

During the rest period, Jia Yan was assigned to a vast space, the most comfortable environment he had been in for a long time.

He played with the communicator in his forelimb, somewhat tentatively trying the fleet’s communication channel in the sky.

Unexpectedly, it connected!

"Marshal Kama! An unidentified communication request has been attempted, and the recognition signal is actually that of Lord Jia Yan!"

Just as Jia Yan had managed to make the connection, in the Fleet a startling, excited voice rang out, about five hundred kilometers above the vast Foggy Area.

"Oh? Really the Lord? Patch me through," a weary female voice followed the report.

The owner of the voice sounded slightly hoarse, and as she spoke, a communication screen appeared in front of her.

Mosquito’s visage was now on display in front of this woman. Although the face of the Big Mosquito wasn’t particularly pleasing to the eye, at this moment, Kama, upon seeing Mosquito’s face, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile.

"Kama, it seems you haven’t had it very easy during my absence," Mosquito said.

Across the communicator, Mosquito hadn’t expected that he would actually be able to communicate with the fleet using this device.

However, he only paused for a moment, and seeing Kama’s beautiful face appear in front of him—though looking somewhat aggrieved and pitifully charming—he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Boss, you’re actually laughing at me. If it hadn’t been for your strange disappearance, I wouldn’t be in such trouble. Although the entire fleet hasn’t directly defected, more than half of the captains are getting restless. Do you have any idea how tiring this has been for me?" Kama said angrily.

Hearing the woman’s considerable grievance, Mosquito felt somewhat reassured instead. Although he guessed the woman’s loyalty to him wasn’t profound, within the fleet, Mosquito really had no one else but her to trust.

"Alright, I probably don’t have much time for communication. The signal in this area isn’t stable. Let the word out that I’m still alive. Also, see who are the ones causing the most trouble in the fleet. I’ll deal with them when I get back," Mosquito said lightly.

At this moment, the fog seemed to be dissipating, and the entire communication screen was filled with more and more snowflakes. The video communication then shut down directly!

"Hehe, Big Boss Mosquito is definitely fine, telling me to note who’s causing the most trouble. He absolutely knows what’s up. In the entire fleet, aside from Mo Ke, who else dares to give me a hard time! Now that the Boss is fine, Mo Ke talked about divide and conquer. Let’s see how he will pull it off now!" Kama put down the communicator; the brief exchange with Mosquito had wiped her exhaustion away.

In fact, she didn’t have time to tell Mosquito much more. She had also considered sending a battleship into the foggy area to investigate whether Mosquito was dead or alive.

However, as soon as a battleship approached the fog, a group of Three-Headed Monsters at the Starry Sky Level seemed to instantly materialize from within the fog and destroyed the unmanned battleship that tried to enter. This was also why Mo Ke became more and more convinced of Mosquito’s death—otherwise, how would he dare to make movements in front of Kama!

"The Boss must still see some use in keeping Mo Ke around. However, this time it’s possible to prevent him from harboring any more thoughts of opposing me. For the sake of having greater say when we go to the Northern Star Domain, I need the Boss on my side. I can’t allow this guy to stand on an equal footing with me!" A calculating expression flickered across Kama’s supremely beautiful face.

...

Not to speak of the deception and intrigue among the warships in the sky, after Mosquito communicated with the fleet, he was no longer worried about the situation above. To him, the Giant Mosquito Fleet was an essential force to keep; not only because of the partnership with Kama and the Kuditian people but also because he needed a power to aid him on the journey ahead.

"Alright, now let’s look into some of the intelligence that old Suo Wu told me about."

Mosquito crouched down, and for his current predicament, he wasn’t too worried. He had proven that his Bluish Defense was capable of resisting even the deadliest venom from the top-tier Three-Headed Monsters. As long as he wasn’t attacked by several at once, he was still confident in his ability to survive.

After a series of combat power analyses and risk assessments for escape, Mosquito began to feel a bit more at ease about his current situation.

Resting time always passed quickly, and before he knew it, three days had flown by.

"Alright, Lord Jia Yan, we can depart now," said Suo Wu’s voice, just as Mosquito had finished restoring the energy loss throughout his body and the venom invading from the Three-Headed Monsters had been expelled by his Bluish Defense.

"Good," Mosquito said as he stood up.

He wasn’t in a rush; the safety of this place was still assured. Even if he couldn’t leave for the moment, it wasn’t really something that the Big Mosquito would fret over.

However, for Suo Wu, three days seemed to be a long time. Mosquito saw that when he encountered him again after these days, the aura of death around him had grown even more intense.

This was an old monster in a brief resurgence, struggling in the final moments of his life.

"Alright, let’s move out. The fog outside has thinned to its lowest," said old Suo Wu, clearly unconcerned with whether Mosquito had communicated with the fleet. What he cared about was his own lifetime.

"Let’s go," Mosquito said, though unsatisfied with Suo Wu’s approach of nearly kidnapping him. In fact, given the chance, he would have killed him, but right now, seeing Suo Wu growing weaker, he felt a twinge of sympathy.

Side by side, they exited the cabin.

In the misty area, a passage a hundred meters wide suddenly opened in the middle of a mountain.

Two monsters walked out of it.

"Alright, we’ll split up. You take the east, I’ll go west. If you spot the ’Shadow’ of the Chaos Fruit, use the communicator to contact me. I suppose you know how to use it now," said old Suo Wu somewhat teasingly.
