342: I'm here to collect you.

Chapter 342: Time to Collect You All

“Tell me,” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a hopeful smile, and his eyes shimmered with excitement.

This is great!

“I can imbue some of the Shikigami with my aura. After they leave the Shikigami space, theoretically, I can sense the location and direction of my residual aura within a thousand li radius.”

Yamata no Orochi said, a hint of pride in its tone, its voice deep and confident, as if everything was under its control.

It was completely unaware that it, Yamata no Orochi, was the guardian beast of Sakura!

“Good! Let’s do it!” Lu Ran immediately nodded, a flash of excitement in his eyes, his fists slightly clenched, as if he couldn’t wait.

But then he thought about it again, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes.

He asked, “What if they don’t use Shikigami temporarily? What if they only use them during fights?”

Yamata no Orochi explained, “Like some Summoners, some Onmyoji are very fond of spending time with their Shikigami. Even when not fighting, they frequently summon them, and even keep them by their side for long periods. For example, right now, I can see many Shikigami being summoned, leaving the Shikigami space.”

Oh?

Lu Ran nodded in realization. Thinking about it carefully, it was true!

It wasn’t necessarily only during fights that Shikigami could be summoned.

“Then let’s follow this method. Search, the faster the better. Notify me when you find them,” Lu Ran said with a hint of urgency in his tone and a look of determination in his eyes.

He floated on the ground, arms crossed, waiting patiently, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

“Alright,” Yamata no Orochi agreed, and began operating within the Shikigami space, its voice low and powerful.

Of course, Lu Ran couldn’t see this series of operations.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a minute, Yamata no Orochi spoke, “Found them. Northwest direction, five hundred seventy li away. There are several traces of my residual aura. It should be the location of Shikigami summoned by Onmyoji. That is Sakura’s main base!”

“Haha… Good! This speed is fast enough!” Lu Ran laughed excitedly, his laughter filled with confidence and pride, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

Then.

His Elf Wings flapped, and he sped off towards the northwest!

During this process, it was a completely straight line, at peak speed. He didn’t even look down, not hesitating in the slightest, as if everything was under his control.

But this left the Global professionals watching Lu Ran’s free perspective a bit confused.

“What does this mean? What is Lu Ran going to do?”

“Am I the only one curious about who Lu Ran was talking to just now when he was muttering to himself?”

“So fast, flying so high, can he even see the camp below?”

“Hey, wait, wasn’t there just a camp we passed below? Why isn’t he bothering with it?”

“I didn’t even get a clear look at the flag totem of that camp. Why did Lu Ran just ignore it?”

“This posture, what is he going for?”

“It couldn’t be Sakura, could it? But… how would Lu Ran know Sakura is in that direction?”

“Don’t think about it. Lu Ran couldn’t possibly know. Though I also don’t know what Lu Ran is going to do now.”

…

Everyone was guessing.

But no one knew Lu Ran’s specific situation and thoughts at the moment.

A distance of over five hundred kilometers, to be honest, is really long!

Even though Lu Ran’s flying speed was fast, it still took him nearly an hour and a half to fly there.

Fortunately, Lu Ran’s flight didn’t consume anything; it was just boring.

The Global professionals also found it a bit boring.

Throughout this entire process, Lu Ran didn’t stop once, didn’t lower his altitude, and didn’t adjust his direction.

He didn’t even change his posture much.

As if frozen, only the rapidly flapping Elf Wings behind him indicated that Lu Ran was still on his way.

Fortunately.

The boring time passed quickly.

Lu Ran’s speed gradually decreased.

“Is it just ahead?” Lu Ran squinted, looking diagonally downwards, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

But due to the thick fog and not being close enough, he couldn’t see anything.

“That’s right, it’s very close now. I can feel it clearly, there’s no mistake. For the past hour or so, I’ve been repeatedly verifying it, and it’s definitely here,” Yamata no Orochi affirmed, a hint of confidence in its voice.

“Alright then, let’s go down,” Lu Ran nodded, a hint of determination in his eyes.

He began to fly diagonally downwards.

At the same time.

The free perspective also followed Lu Ran’s side.

All Global professionals were now alert.

Because over an hour had passed.

Lu Ran finally showed a new change, lowering his flying speed and even beginning to approach the ground.

What had he discovered?

But even with the free perspective adjusted, it seemed like nothing could be seen.

Yet Lu Ran’s eyes seemed to be able to see through the mist.

“What is Lu Ran doing??”

“There’s nothing below.”

“After flying for so long, damn, where did he fly to?”

“He’s probably tired from flying and wants to rest.”

“Hey? Look, there really seems to be a camp down there!”

…

As Lu Ran’s altitude gradually decreased, getting closer and closer.

Beneath the thick fog, the outline of a camp gradually emerged.

It was indeed a camp!

And…

As Lu Ran’s altitude got closer and closer.

The totems on the flags around the camp also became clearly visible to everyone.

It was a wolf totem.

“Wolf totem? It’s Sakura! It’s Sakura’s camp!”

“Damn, Lu Ran found this too, huh?”

“What the hell, how did Lu Ran know Sakura’s camp was here?”

“He came straight here!”

“I absolutely don’t believe it’s luck!”

“Isn’t it impossible to view the exact locations of other camps on the battlefield map?”

“BUG, this is a BUG!”

“This is too inhuman, damn it, he can even pinpoint a camp. This Lu Ran is too heaven-defying!”

…

Lu Ran also landed with a thud at this moment!

After experiencing the protective shield, Lu Ran was now able to precisely control the position of the protective shield.

He landed almost flush with the protective shield.

And right in front of Lu Ran.

A meter away, several patrol teams were patrolling.

The squadron leader at the front was startled by the scene before him.

He turned his head and saw.

A person, with huge Elf Wings spread out, holding the sea-stabilizing trident in his hand.

Standing in front of him in an absolutely arrogant posture.

“You… you…” The squadron leader seemed to realize something.

But because it happened so suddenly.

His brain was somewhat frozen, and he stammered.

However, fortunately, he knew there was a protective shield in front of him, so although he was nervous, he didn’t flee in panic.

All the other patrol members were looking at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran chuckled.

Seeing that he had found the right location, he was satisfied.

The corners of his mouth turned up, and he took a step forward.

He tapped the protective shield in front of him with one hand and said, “What are you looking at? I’ve come to collect you all!”
