Seeing the Void Soul Stealing emerge, Lin Zeyu thought of the recent failed show-off attempt and pressed the sniper rifle against the creature’s head, demanding:
"Speak! Who was it that appeared here just now?"
"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
The Void Soul Stealing made a panicked gurgling sound.
Judging by the tone, it seemed like it’s answering, but the language barrier made it incomprehensible.
Lin Zeyu turned back in confusion, giving a questioning look to everyone.
Lu Heng shrugged, indicating he couldn’t understand.
In fact, the Void Soul Stealing species hasn’t developed civilization, only possessing limited intelligence.
According to intelligence levels, the Void Soul Stealing’s intelligence is higher than a border collie, roughly equivalent to the intelligence of an eight-year-old human.
Therefore, the Void Soul Stealing can understand human commands, but lacking proper vocal organs, it can only make gurgling sounds; it can understand but cannot express itself.
To say it can’t express itself is inaccurate; the Void Soul Stealing can communicate simple messages among themselves through calls, but it’s unintelligible to humans.
Just because humans can’t understand, doesn’t mean elves can’t.
Terres waved to the elf warrior behind him, calling for a Wind Talker who could communicate mentally with alien species, to analyze the sounds made by the Void Soul Stealing and then relay the conveyed content.
"It didn’t see anyone in the treasure cave. As soon as it entered the cave, it was discovered by the Spirit Communicator and then controlled, beginning to circle around."
Upon hearing the Wind Talker’s explanation, the previously puzzling situation became clear.
This Void Soul Stealing, from the start, was a servile minion of Clyde Saville.
Back when it first appeared at Coastal, it was under Clyde Saville’s control, monitoring Lu Heng.
After Clyde Saville was caught, Lin Zeyu kept it around for amusement.
It had indeed been tamed, but encountering Clyde Saville again, it became enslaved with no ability to resist.
Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Zeyu could understand but was still angry, pressing the gun muzzle against the Void Soul Stealing’s forehead, threatening: "Dare to trick me again and I’ll blow you up. Got it?"
"Gurgle!" The Void Soul Stealing made a sound, nodding vigorously.
However, such a promise seemed to have little binding force.
Lin Zeyu raised this Void Soul Stealing mainly for reconnaissance assistance, also enabling the Void Eye to gain mobility.
Lu Heng thought for a while, suggesting: "Actually, next time you send it out, you could have it carry a Void Eye. If anything changes, the Void Eye would naturally witness it, or if it discards the Void Eye, it would also be proof of trouble."
Lin Zeyu immediately widened his eyes in regret: "Right! Why didn’t I think of that before."
He said as he released a Void Eye, stuffing it into the Void Soul Stealing’s claws, threatening: "Hold it tightly. Throw it away and I’ll blow your head off!"
"Gurgle!" The Void Soul Stealing held the Void Eye tremblingly, not daring to defy.
Due to Clyde Saville appearing in the Abyss Battlefield, Su Muyu thought of something, saying:
"The Superpower Prison in the combat zone should be under lockdown now, right? Clyde Saville disappeared suddenly; I wonder if Jian Qing knows."
Lu Heng calculated slightly, responding: "By this time, about ten hours should have passed on Blue Star. Jian Qing should have received the news."
Su Muyu sighed: "I wish we could make contact with Blue Star now; then we could exchange information."
Apart from some special magic or abilities, different worlds can’t communicate.
Normally, to exchange messages, one can only use a Space Anchor Point.
This means completing a World Task, choosing the Space Anchor Point as a reward, then using the Space Anchor Point to teleport between worlds for communication.
However, the difficulty of completing World Tasks is extremely high, and the proportion of Superpower Users able to acquire World Task rewards is very small.
To fulfill a World Task, one must accomplish changes to the world’s structure.
The only event in recent decades affecting the world structure in the Elf Clan was the battle between Great Arcanist Augustus and the Bloodline King.
Thus, the Space Anchor Points in the Elf World are only possessed by Lu Heng and Su Muyu.
Now, being in the Abyss Battlefield, it’s impossible to teleport back to Blue Star; they naturally can’t deliver news back.
Lu Heng pondered, saying: "Before teleporting here, I left some tasks for Jian Qing; she should be carrying them out by now."
Before teleporting, Lu Heng indeed left some tasks to the Special Forces.
As Lu Heng expected, a large-scale investigation action is underway in Coastal City.
This operation began right at midnight after Clyde Saville disappeared.
The tasks Lu Heng left were simple: search within Coastal City for high-level Superpower Users with lost trails.
Before teleporting, Lu Heng analyzed the situation, deducing that the summoning subject of the Abyss Battlefield resides in the longitude of Coastal City.
While not a hundred percent sure it’s Coastal City, there isn’t another first-tier city on Coastal City’s longitude line.
Therefore, it’s highly probable this summoning subject is in Coastal City.
Combining the Danger Level of the Abyss Battlefield, it’s ascertainable this summoning subject is of a high level, definitely a first-tier Superpower User, potentially even a Peak Level Superpower User.
