Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 386 - 276: Seeing Ren Mian Again_2

The Star Power he used was being restored even as he ran.

Gradually, Ji Xinghuo caught up with the Winged People, maintaining a distance of about fifteen kilometers, and had long since activated the Stealth Ring to conceal his presence.

At this distance, even with the Winged People’s naturally excellent vision, they couldn’t see clearly.

If it hadn’t been to guard against that Legendary Spiritual Power Stringer, he could have closed in even more.

In the sky, the Winged People continued flying south.

When encountering mountain peaks, the Winged People mostly flew directly over them. Thankfully, Ji Xinghuo could also fly, but after he crossed the peaks, the Winged People were already far ahead, and he almost lost them a few times.

Ji Xinghuo sprinted for thousands of kilometers without a break, and though his stamina was exceptional, he still felt slightly fatigued, with about one-third of his Star Power depleted.

However, the Winged People ahead were also tired and descended to rest.

Ji Xinghuo dared not get close.

The Winged People rested for about half an hour, and by the time they took off again, Ji Xinghuo had completely recovered both his physical strength and Star Power.

Then, it was another flight of more than a thousand kilometers.

When night fell, the Winged People rested only once before continuing on their journey.

The night air temperature plummeted, and heavy snow fell; the Winged People were no longer visible. Ji Xinghuo had Qing Hong reveal its true form, mounted it, and closed the gap to within five kilometers of the Winged People; using electromagnetic induction to lock onto them, he managed not to lose track.

They proceeded in darkness for over ten hours, until the latter half of the night, when they were more than three thousand kilometers away from Eternal Day City, the Winged People finally landed on the ground to rest.

Ji Xinghuo hid in a cave ten kilometers away from the Winged People’s camp.

He took out a map of Bloody Plateau and studied it.

This was an unfamiliar region, with an altitude more than two thousand meters higher than Eternal Day City, and extremely low temperatures, around negative thirty degrees Celsius. Within a range of millions of square kilometers, there were numerous massive mountain ranges and peaks rising to ten thousand meters, all frozen and chilled, and most wild beasts and monsters had entered hibernation.

"What could the Winged People possibly want in this godforsaken place?" Ji Xinghuo wondered.

He had thought that these Winged People were intent on harming Earth or its inhabitants.

But this place was thirty thousand kilometers away from Olympia—not to mention Earthlings, even Highlanders were huddled in their tribes hibernating through winter, unwilling to venture out.

After sleeping, when he woke up, daylight had already broken.

"You rest now," Ji Xinghuo fed Qing Hong some food, instructed it to shrink and hide on his body, and then stepped out of the cave.

Outside, the cold wind howled, and snowflakes swirled.

He flew close to the ground, approaching the Winged People’s camp, entering the range of electromagnetic induction; discovering those Winged People had just woken up, were about to eat and drink, not hurrying to continue their journey like yesterday. Each of them moved with calm determination, making preparations for battle.

"So, we’ve arrived," Ji Xinghuo realized that this region was indeed the destination of these Winged People.

A moment later.

The female Winged Person took out a bottle and passed it to another Winged Person of the Xuanyu Clan. Clad in leather armor, carrying bows and arrows, and accompanied by several flying War Pets, she appeared to be a "Star Realm Ranger," an advanced class combining Ranger and Hunter.

She opened the bottle and held it to her chest.

A white ferret-like War Pet emerged from the collar of her leather armor, sniffed at the bottle’s opening, and let out a series of squeaks.

The Star Realm Ranger shook her head at the female Winged Person and whispered a few words.

Because he was too far, Ji Xinghuo couldn’t hear them, but he could see the female Winged Person’s indifferent nod followed by a command, leading the Winged People to take flight.

Ji Xinghuo followed from a distance.

Not flying far, the Winged People descended again, allowing the white ferret War Pet to sniff the bottle’s contents once more, still without result.

"What’s in that bottle?" Ji Xinghuo focused, utilizing electromagnetic induction to probe the bottle and found it contained several leaves, broken stems, and something resembling a hair.

It was then he realized it was being used for tracking.

And the target they were tracking was within this region.

For the entire day, the Winged People flew and stopped within a radius of over two hundred kilometers, each landing to let the white ferret seek out the scent.

Yet by nightfall, they had found nothing.

The Winged People camped overnight and continued their search at dawn until, on the third day, they entered a towering forest.

This forest grew among the mountains, from the valley to the mid-slopes, with treacherous terrain. The branches were coated with white snow and frost, clad in icy splendor. The ground was covered in thick snow, and standing within it, one could gaze at the snow-capped peaks around them, a cold and majestic storm that seemed capable of cleansing the impatience from one’s heart.

Ji Xinghuo hovered in a tall tree, using the snowy branches to conceal his form while marveling at the mountain and snowy landscape.

"What a place!"

If it were the warm season, one could imagine how picturesque the landscape would be.

The cold wind had stopped today.

The clouds that had long shrouded the sky dispersed, leaving the sky a clear azure. The golden glow of the sunlight bathed the mountain peaks, coating them in a layer of gold, like mountains of gold.

But amidst such scenery, there was an uninvited group.

Ji Xinghuo’s gaze landed on the valley ahead. The group of Winged People had descended again, allowing their weasel-like pet to begin tracking.

Suddenly, it started to call out excitedly.

The faces of the Winged People all showed joy, as the leading female Winged Person commanded the Star Realm Ranger to lead the way.

They didn’t take to the sky but hovered close to the ground. They flew at a relaxed pace in the direction the weasel indicated, seemingly afraid of startling their target.

Ji Xinghuo also followed cautiously from behind.

After moving forward for about ten kilometers, weaving through the icy forest and over a ridge, the view suddenly opened up.

A canyon nestled between peaks stretched nearly ten kilometers long. A dense forest grew within the valley, also covered in snow, but the temperature was much higher than outside the valley. Many plants still retained their green hue, a river streamed through the middle, forming several lakes of varying sizes that were not frozen.

The climate inside the canyon was like a different world compared to the outside, and although it wasn’t warm like spring, it was nonetheless a secluded paradise of beauty.

The Winged People entered the canyon.

Following behind, Ji Xinghuo also saw the scenery inside the canyon. His gaze swept across it, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on something.

With the Wanxiang Star Pupil, he could see clearly.

In the rear section of the canyon, about six to seven kilometers from him, on the shore of the largest lake, there was a patch of trees that, upon closer inspection, turned out to be peach blossoms! In this season, under such cold climate, the continuous expanse of Peach Blossom Forest remained lush, with sporadic blossoms still adorning the trees.

Although the canyon was much warmer than the highland outside, the difference shouldn’t be so great.

This was clearly influenced by other factors.

"Peach blossoms..."

Ji Xinghuo’s gaze settled on a delicate pink peach blossom, with its five petals encircled, and he couldn’t help but think of Sister Ren.

Ren Mian had a peach blossom mark on her brow.

She also had a healing technique related to peach blossoms, called "Evergreen Peach Blossom Spring," which could not only heal wounds but also restore strength and relieve mental anguish.

"Could Sister Ren be here?"

Ji Xinghuo dared not be sure of such a coincidence.

Ren Mian had been away from Olympia for over a year. Before she left, she had not revealed where she was going or what she was planning, shrouded in mystery.

If this canyon were her secret refuge, it was clear that the Winged People tracking down this place meant harm to her.

He suddenly became nervous.

But he didn’t rush to catch up; instead, he kept himself calm. When the Winged People ahead probed their way to the middle of the canyon, nearing the Peach Blossom Forest, Ji Xinghuo entered the canyon.

Upon entering, he sensed something was off.

He felt as if someone was covertly observing him from the shadows, yet he couldn’t detect their presence.

"This feeling of being watched..."

Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of Earth Abyss Star. On the surface of Earth Abyss Star, the moment one entered an area surrounded by plants, one would instantly feel under covert surveillance. It was the same in this canyon, and Ren Mian was a Plant Witch, capable of similar surveillance techniques.

Ahead, the Winged People suddenly stopped and stealthily spread out.

Ji Xinghuo quickly increased his pace.

Nearly half of the canyon fell within the range of electromagnetic induction, and at once, he knew why the Winged People had such a reaction. Hidden in the forest by the lake was a wooden house, surrounded by many strange plants and flowers. It was clear someone lived within.

At that moment, the door of the wooden house opened, and a graceful figure stepped out to face the encroaching Winged People.

From a distance, Ji Xinghuo saw her face, shocked and delighted.

It really was Ren Mian!
