Chapter 393 – The Moon-Eating Demon Whale, Hold On, Let Me Make a Call

“I am Chen Wu Hao.”

The middle-aged man introduced himself to Lu Yuan with a calm demeanor.

Lu Yuan’s heart trembled slightly upon hearing the name.

He had heard of him before.

A big shot from Yellow Bear, the power behind Penglai’s Martial Saint Island. After Lu Yuan had cleared the Martial Saint Island, this man had once frightened him severely. Unexpectedly, he was now seeking him out on his own initiative.

What could it be for?

Could it be a vendetta?

Lu Yuan’s thoughts raced, considering various possibilities, yet his face remained devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Times had changed, and now his strength was far greater than when he had first cleared Martial Saint Island-it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Even if the other party was indeed here for revenge, Lu Yuan felt no fear.

“So, it’s Lord Chen.”

Lu Yuan nodded politely to Chen Wu Hao.

Chen Wu Hao glanced to the side, and Lu Yuan caught his drift, giving Liu Si, who was in charge of reception, a look. Liu Si immediately understood and tactfully led the servants away.

Once everyone else had left the room except for the two of them.

Lu Yuan sensed Chen Wu Hao releasing a powerful mental power, sealing the current parlor, before he finally spoke lightly: “I am here mainly for two things.”

“Please, go ahead.”

Lu Yuan casually pulled over a chair and sat down.

Chen Wu Hao had been standing there like a statue since he entered, and Lu Yuan didn’t bother to offer him a seat. It was up to him whether to sit or not.

“The first thing…”

Chen Wu Hao touched a small, shiny metal piece on the cuff of his left sleeve.

“Whoosh-“

Suddenly, two square silver boxes appeared right in front of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn’t look at the boxes immediately but instead at the shiny metal piece on Chen Wu Hao’s left sleeve.

“A product of spatial technology?”

Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up. He was no longer the naive person he once was and had seen much of the world.

He coveted such “personal spatial items.”

Having one would be incredibly convenient.

He had only seen Yuwen Tong use something similar before.

Lord Tong, with her unmatched combat power, deserved to have such items.

But Chen Wu Hao’s strength was only at the eighth stage, not as high as his own, yet he too possessed such an item.

Lu Yuan thought about asking Yellow Bear for one as well when he had the chance.

A fleeting thought, prompted by the spatial item, quickly passed, and Lu Yuan refocused his attention on the two silver boxes in front of him.

The silver boxes apparently had the ability to block mental power detection, making it unclear what was inside.

“This is what you wanted…”

Chen Wu Hao pointed to the two boxes laid out in front of Lu Yuan, saying, “You can choose either one.”

“Let’s open them and see.”

Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

Chen Wu Hao promptly opened both boxes one after the other.

A strong scent of the evil deity factor immediately hit them.

Lu Yuan looked intently.

Inside the first silver box was a resplendently golden, beautiful feather.

He was more than familiar with this kind of feather; he had seen more than one and had even owned one before.

However, it had been consumed when he unlocked the [Fire Chaser. Azure Flame (Legendary Level)] professional panel.

Lu Yuan showed little interest in the Phoenix Feather, merely glancing at it before shifting his gaze to another item.

The next item was quite beyond Lu Yuan’s expectations.

It was surprisingly large, about half the height of a person, shaped like a huge crescent moon, but with edges that were broken and jagged.

Its overall color was a grayish white, interspersed with large patches of black and dark yellow.

It looked like an oddly shaped ancient fossil.

This peculiar fossil, both in appearance and the aura of the evil deity factor it emitted, was much less impressive than the Phoenix Feather.

Lu Yuan scrutinized the strange fossil for a while before asking Chen Wu Hao, “What is this?”

“Moon-Eating Fang.”

Chen Wu Hao answered simply.

So, this was the Moon-Eating Fang.

Lu Yuan blinked in surprise.

The first time he saw the name in the merit shop, he thought the “Moon-Eating Fang” would be the size of a keychain, shaped like a crescent tooth.

He hadn’t expected it to be this massive in reality.

“Is there a rush?”

Lu Yuan’s gaze wandered between the Phoenix Feather and the Moon-Eating Fang as he casually said to Chen Wu Hao, “If there’s no hurry, I’ll study it a bit more.”

“Suit yourself.”

Chen Wu Hao responded indifferently.

“Why don’t you take a seat first?”

Lu Yuan casually invited Chen Wu Hao to sit down and took the opportunity to ask, “Oh, by the way, can I borrow the Yellow Bear account? I need to check some information.”

Watching Lu Yuan’s casual demeanor, Chen Wu Hao visibly furrowed his brow.

Nevertheless, he detached a virtual screen from his personal assistant Light Brain and tossed it in front of Lu Yuan, then sat quietly watching him.

Unbothered, Lu Yuan immediately began searching for information about the “moon-eating fang.”

This type of information was only accessible at a high access level, and naturally, Chen Wu Hao’s access was quite high.

After his search, Lu Yuan finally understood why the “moon-eating fang” was so significant.

–

The term “moon-eating fang” originates from ancient mythology, referring to a terrifying creature dwelling in the endless abyss-the moon-eating demon whale.

Legend has it that this whale possesses billions of tentacles and teeth, spending most of its life slumbering in the abyss.

But when it awakens from its slumber, an immense hunger and void drive it to frantically devour everything around it.

Should a world unluckily drift nearby, it would be completely swallowed by the whale.

The moon-eating demon whale’s favorite food is moons, and it only continues its slumber contentedly after consuming a tasty moon…

Naturally, a legendary creature capable of consuming moons would be of an astonishing size.

The “moon-eating fang” was obtained through exploration from one of the nine legendary secret realms, the “moon-eating forest.”

Records indicate that the “moon-eating forest” is actually a forest growing on the back of a floating, slumbering moon-eating demon whale.

The forest’s edge borders an endless dark sea, remarkably similar to the legendary endless abyss.

Thus, the “moon-eating forest” is theoretically the most dangerous among the nine legendary secret realms…

After reading through the extensive information about the “moon-eating fang,” Lu Yuan felt little emotional impact.

“Do you mind if I touch it?”

Lu Yuan turned to ask Chen Wu Hao, who had been staring at him.

Chen Wu Hao didn’t respond, only giving him a cold look.

Taking that as consent, Lu Yuan reached out to grab the Phoenix Feather.

The moment he touched the golden feather, a message popped up on the panel.

[Congratulations, you have obtained an extraordinary level material-Phoenix Feather (Incomplete)]

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand without changing expression.

Just as he expected.

This Phoenix Feather was indeed only at the extraordinary level.

Lu Yuan even suspected that within the entire Embers Mountain secret realm, there might only be one legendary level Phoenix Feather.

And that sole legendary Phoenix Feather was likely on the Cuckoo Bird.

Of course, it was probably now inside the Phoenix Egg with the Cuckoo Bird.

After verifying the Phoenix Feather, Lu Yuan continued to check the remaining “Moon-Eating Fang.”

The aura of the evil deity factor emanating from it, the so-called legendary aura, was much thinner than that of the Phoenix Feather.

Lu Yuan didn’t hold much hope for it.

He had reason to suspect that this so-called “Moon-Eating Fang” was nothing more than the Yellow Bear people cherishing their worthless possessions.

This thing might not even qualify as extraordinary level.

Thinking this, Lu Yuan gently placed his hand on the massive tooth fossil.

It felt rough and cold.

It seemed that a faint, chilly aura was continuously seeping out from the fossil.

Lu Yuan waited for a while, but no panel message appeared.

“Damn…”

He couldn’t help but curse silently, realizing the worst-case scenario he had anticipated.

This thing didn’t even reach extraordinary level.

It probably only had collectible value now, without any practical use-that’s likely why the Yellow Bear had been so willing to part with it.

He was quietly scoffing to himself when suddenly…

“Whoosh-“

A sound like roaring waves unexpectedly filled his ears.

The next second, a message jumped out in front of Lu Yuan…

“Click-“

“Hmm?!”

Chen Wu Hao, standing nearby, suddenly heard a sound like something shattering and quickly looked in its direction.

He only saw Lu Yuan, standing in front of the silver box, retracting his hand from the “moon-eating fang” as if shocked by electricity.

“What was that sound?”

Chen Wu Hao frowned and asked.

“What?”

Lu Yuan responded calmly, looking unfazed.

Chen Wu Hao glanced at Lu Yuan, then shifted his gaze to two items.

He extended his mental power to meticulously examine the two items several times, but found nothing amiss.

However, he was sure he had distinctly heard a sound like something breaking just moments ago.

Chen Wu Hao’s brow furrowed slightly as he stared at Lu Yuan for a while.

Finally, deciding to temporarily set aside his suspicions, he spoke up, “Well? Have you decided?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yuan nodded.

“Which one will you take?”

Chen Wu Hao asked indifferently.

Lu Yuan, with a completely natural expression, replied, “I plan to take both.”

“?!”

Chen Wu Hao was momentarily stunned by Lu Yuan’s answer.

Both of them?

After all this research and hands-on examination, you tell me you’re choosing both? Are you kidding me?!

“That’s impossible, you can only choose one.”

Chen Wu Hao immediately shook his head.

His demeanor was icy, his tone firm, and his face showed no room for negotiation.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Yuan just smiled.

Then he gestured to Chen Wu Hao and said, “Don’t rush… lend me your communicator, I need to call Lord Tong right now.”
