Chapter 749: Section 537: Tunneling Wand
"Da Dou kidnapped Big Guy?!" Sanda was shocked to his core.
"No, we must take Big Guy back! Even if the opponent is a Golden Level," Sanda had no hesitation.
Big Guy was too important!
Sanda could see that, at the very least, Big Guy had the potential of the Holy Domain Level!!
Which organization would forsake a Holy Domain? Even the mightiest force, the Holy Bright Empire, wouldn’t do such a thing.
By doing this, Da Dou was undermining the future pillar of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps. This was absolutely intolerable!
Sanda immediately ordered Chi Lai, Menshi, and others to organize the elite and intercept Da Dou.
Meanwhile, he deployed the Alchemy Puppets from the fleet, vowing to stop Da Dou at all costs.
But the next sentence from the reporting mercenary chilled Sanda to the bone.
"What? Da Dou just vanished on the spot?" Sanda asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The mercenary nodded, his expression full of panic and unease.
"Damn it!" Sanda cursed and quickly turned around, rushing to the Observation Room.
Once there, he sought aid from the City Lord of Snowbird Port.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port was willing to help, stating that Da Dou’s actions violated the order of Snowbird Port, and he, as the City Lord, would not stand by and do nothing.
The Sea Bird Bishop, sitting beside him, also offered to help voluntarily. He said that it was because of the participation of Big Guy that this rare Magic Chef duel was illuminated. He had a good impression of this simpleton giant!
Sanda knew in his heart: "Big Guy’s accidental involvement in this Magic Chef duel exposed a lot about his potential. The City Lord of Snowbird Port and the Sea Bird Bishop both showed interest, and Da Dou went the most direct route, kidnapping Big Guy!"
Even though Da Dou had vanished on the spot, it didn’t mean he had left no trace.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port immediately led Sanda and the others back to the docks, entering the Mage Tower.
The Mage Tower had been monitoring all along and naturally captured the Magic Image of Da Dou in the act of snatching Big Guy.
Sanda and others then saw what had happened.
A group of mercenaries, walking slowly with Big Guy, suddenly experienced a spatial fluctuation as Da Dou appeared out of nowhere and threw a handful of pepper.
When the pepper landed on the mercenaries, it ignited and burned them.
The mercenaries couldn’t protect themselves and fell into chaos.
Da Dou continued his attack, and Big Guy instantly fell unconscious, captured with one swoop, followed by a teleportation that took them away.
Sanda and his companions were a mix of shock and anger.
With his actions, Da Dou was incredibly efficient, taking Big Guy away after only two moves.
The Mage reported with difficulty: everything had happened too quickly, and the Mage Tower had only recorded 48.3% of the spatial fluctuations when Da Dou teleported.
With such a recording, it was challenging to estimate Da Dou’s teleportation destination based on the spatial fluctuations.
Sanda’s heart sank.
The Mage asked him: if more detailed information about Big Guy was provided, perhaps they might be able to track Big Guy’s location.
This made Sanda hesitate.
Big Guy’s background and bloodline were secrets; if disclosed, it would put all survivors at risk.
But how could he find Big Guy if he didn’t share this information?
Sanda suspected that the Mage was only saying this to pry more information about Big Guy from him.
This made Sanda even more at a loss.
Because he was very clear: the general consensus now was that Big Guy had a Gold-level bloodline. Da Dou had his doubts. However, once Big Guy’s bloodline secret was exposed, everyone would know that he was at least a Holy Domain in the making. Even if the City Lord of Snowbird Port located Big Guy, he would definitely not return him to the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.
As Sanda was hesitating, the Mage Tower suddenly emitted a sharp alarm sound.
The Mage Tower detected a massive high-energy object appearing above Snowbird Port, and it was rapidly falling, targeting the Snowbird Port docks.
The Mage Tower was about to strike when they received communication from Shuanglian.
After understanding the situation, the City Lord of Snowbird Port calmed down and openly welcomed the arrival of Shuanglian.
Everyone left the tower to greet them.
Before long, the Honey Snow Tower revealed itself to everyone.
Boom...
The Honey Snow Tower finally landed on the docks, just a few hundred meters from the Mage Tower at the docks.
With five levels, the Honey Snow Tower dwarfed the Mage Tower on the docks—it was like a little brother.
Bu Quan was the first to come out from Honey Snow Tower.
Sanda had long since been informed about Bu Quan; he knew that Bu Quan’s mentor was Shuanglian.
Seeing Bu Quan’s return, and indicating that he had persuaded his teacher to assist the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, Sanda was both shocked and overjoyed.
An unexpected ally!
Sanda met with Shuanglian, earnestly requesting her to help the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps retrieve Big Guy.
Shuanglian offered no excuses and immediately mobilized the search capabilities of Honey Snow Tower, as well as requesting the spatial fluctuation records from the docks’ Mage Tower at the time of the incident.
The capabilities of Honey Snow Tower were evidently much stronger than the docks’ Mage Tower.
The Mage Tower at the dock was powerless to resolve the situation, but under Shuanglian’s operation, there was a clear statement, "The records of spatial fluctuations are incomplete, so it will take three days to calculate the answer."
"Da Dou was able to teleport because he used the Tunneling Wand."
"This kind of teleportation tool was mass-produced during the Demon Wars a thousand years ago."
"It is a consumable item, only usable three times and not rechargeable. Because of it, the allied forces of various races had a faster troop deployment speed and barely managed to resist the demons’ multiple assaults."
"After the war ended, such teleportation tools became forbidden and their manufacture was prohibited."
"The Tunneling Wand not only employs spatial transference technology but also has the capability to monitor and utilize Earth Veins. It is by leveraging the Earth Veins that the user’s energy consumption is greatly reduced, making the teleportation destination much more precise."
"From this, we can infer that even if Da Dou continues to use the wand, assuming he doesn’t have a second one, he can teleport at most three times. I believe the likelihood that he has two Tunneling Wands is not high."
"He stole your people and committed a crime in public, meaning he has directly given up on the upcoming National Ceremony."
"He will try to keep as much distance from Ice Sculpture Island as possible and is unlikely to teleport to the heartland."
"Using the Tunneling Wand, the more significant the Earth Vein boost, the further the teleportation distance. Considering this, Da Dou is likely to teleport to some of the larger islands."
"In a moment, I’ll check with the guild for specific usage data of the Tunneling Wand. With the data, combined with the Sea Chart, we’ll be able to calculate the range from which Da Dou departed and the possible routes he may have taken to teleport away."
Shuanglian talked on and on.
Sanda was both excited and moved by her words.
What excited him was that compared to the previous mage, Shuanglian was so much more professional!
She applied her knowledge and had already grasped the clues in such a short time!!
What touched him was that Shuanglian had offered to help proactively, which was a godsend in the snow.
Sanda’s emotions continued.
Next, Shuanglian also mentioned that she had heard about Vice Captain Lion Flag’s injury and unconsciousness, and she could try to help if possible.
Sanda was moved beyond words but dared not let Shuanglian treat him.
Although Sanda was confident in his Deception and Disguise Skill and Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill, less was more; after all, the "Lion Flag" was currently just an impersonation by an Alchemy Puppet.
Sanda declined, "Lord Lion Flag’s injury isn’t serious; he has a unique healing combat skill. A wound like this is nothing to him."
"Really?" Shuanglian asked in surprise, staring at Sanda, "Are you sure? You should know that the one who attacked Lion Flag was not just Silver Level. It was a Golden Level assassin!"
Sanda was shocked for a moment before admitting that he had guessed as much, but "Lion Flag" was indeed fine.
Upon hearing about a Golden Level assassin, the City Lord of Snowbird Port showed a shocked expression.
Shuanglian turned to look at him, her face frosty and her words filled with anger: "This Golden Level assassin also attempted to attack my beloved disciple, but now, he’s been captured by me!"
The City Lord of Snowbird Port grew even more alarmed and immediately expressed his anger: he would definitely pursue the matter to the end!
This response elicited a slight nod from Shuanglian.
She brought up the Golden Level assassin because she wanted to leverage the City Lord of Snowbird Port’s official authority to trouble her enemies.
If the enemy had only targeted Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, Shuanglian wouldn’t be so angry.
But the attempted harm on Bu Quan by the Golden Level assassin, Yijiu, had crossed Shuanglian’s line.
Shuanglian was determined to get her revenge.
But as a mage, her approach to revenge would naturally be strategic. The first strategy was to mobilize all available forces to assist her in achieving vengeance.
Moreover, the stance of the City Lord of Snowbird Port was sufficient to prompt his action.
Next, Shuanglian sent her students out to repair the Alchemy Workshop that had been destroyed.
All of this, of course, was Bu Quan’s suggestion.
"Next, I will continue to oversee the alchemy here in the city," Bu Quan shared her own plan.
Sanda exclaimed, "Miss Bu Quan, you really have been a tremendous help this time!"
The City Lord of Snowbird Port was taken aback.
What shocked him was Shuanglian’s behavior.
After all, this was a real power elder from the Alchemy Guild with formidable strength and the backing of Honey Snow Tower. What price had the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps paid to enlist such a figure’s assistance?
Even the City Lord of Snowbird Port felt that Elder Shuanglian was perhaps a little too enthusiastic in her help.
"I will be staying here for the time being," Shuanglian informed the City Lord of Snowbird Port before parting.
"I won’t rest until the enemies who targeted my disciple are unearthed!"
The City Lord of Snowbird Port quickly responded, "I will commit all my efforts to this matter."
He further offered to divert the energy channels beneath Snowbird Port to support Honey Snow Tower.
But Shuanglian replied, "Thank you, I have already tapped 80% of the energy channels."
The City Lord of Snowbird Port turned to look at the Tower Master of his Mage Tower.
The Tower Master spread his hands with a wry smile, as he was about to discretely report.
The Honey Snow Tower was too domineering. As soon as it landed, it took action, severing the underground energy channels. The dock’s Mage Tower couldn’t compete with it!
"Cang Xu, your Divine Arts are truly overbearing for proselytizing!"
In a simple shack by the White Hair Sea Trench, the Little Prince gave Cang Xu an approving thumbs up.
At that moment, there was a delicate soul chain linking Cang Xu and the Little Prince together.
