Yu Ziyu's response

"Spiritual Energy satellite monitoring..."

There was bitterness, and there was helplessness.

Deep within the Canyon, Yu Ziyu slowly raised his eyes toward the distant starry sky.

The thick fog could not block his gaze.

It was a deep night sky, misty with rain, revealing a faint, elusive light, like a calm deep sea without the slightest ripple.

Yet this very night sky left Yu Ziyu unable to settle down for a long time.

Satellites.

A word that had seemed so remote.

Yet now, it had suddenly appeared before him, like a fishbone lodged in his throat.

What could he do now?

He had considered so many possibilities, but never imagined that humans had already developed a device for monitoring spiritual energy, much less launched that device into outer space as a satellite.

"Emmmmmmm..."

With what felt like ten thousand motherfucking horses stampeding through his mind, Yu Ziyu was utterly helpless.

If circumstances allowed, he truly wanted to blow that satellite in outer space, tens of thousands of miles away, apart with a single arrow.

But in reality, never mind whether circumstances allowed it-he could not even reach that satellite.

And now, all he could do was wait...

Wait for the humans to find him...

Then they would transport it to some secret human base. If it was lucky, it would not have to be sliced up...

It would merely produce life essence every day.

Of course, if it was unlucky, they would kill the goose that laid the golden eggs, dismembering it outright for further research.

At this thought, Yu Ziyu's heart sank little by little.

There was no solution.

There really was no solution.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite, Yu Ziyu was at a loss for the moment.

It was, after all, only a willow tree.

And as a tree, it could not run beneath the setting sun.

In other words, he truly had no options beyond waiting for the humans to find him.

Just then, as though sensing Yu Ziyu's suddenly heavy mood,

"Keek, keek..."

Amid a series of cries, all eight Peregrine Falcons left their nests and spread their wings, flying into the sky.

"Keek, keek..."

With another string of cries, the eight Peregrine Falcons circled Yu Ziyu's true body, seemingly lamenting.

The birds understood human feelings and could comprehend Yu Ziyu's mood at that moment.

"I'm fine."

He extended a branch, seemingly intending to play with the Peregrine Falcons, but withdrew it halfway.

Right now, he was in no mood at all.

He only felt as though a massive boulder weighed heavily on his heart.

"There should be a way... there should be."

Repeating this over and over, Yu Ziyu collected his panic and sank into thought.

Judging by the current situation, the Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite should only be able to detect abnormal spiritual energy in a certain location, rather than pinpoint the exact circumstances.

Otherwise, they would not have sent just these few people to investigate on-site.

After all, this handful of people would not even be enough for a thrashing from a few of Yu Ziyu's branches.

If he used his roots, Yu Ziyu could strangle them all here in an instant.

What Yu Ziyu needed to know now was how the spiritual energy device worked. Only then might he be able to evade it, or even counter it.

Of course, there was another point to consider.

Could he fool this group of soldiers conducting the field investigation?

Only if he could fool these soldiers and counter the Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite would Yu Ziyu's safety truly be assured.

At this thought, Yu Ziyu turned his gaze toward Qing'er nearby and spoke gravely.

"Qing'er, try asking about the specifics of the Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite for me."

Hearing his unusually serious voice, Qing'er nodded firmly, determination in her eyes.

"Yes, Master."

After answering, Qing'er sank her consciousness into the depths of her soul once more.

Before long, Qing'er's lips parted slightly, as though she were repeating something:

"The Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite is merely a simple device that measures the concentration of spiritual energy in an area. However, based on the varying concentrations in that area, we can take precautions in advance. For instance, right now, we're conducting a field investigation here, first to evacuate the populace, and second to confirm whether 'the area's spiritual energy concentration has become abnormal' or 'a powerful mutated beast has emerged.'"

"The area's spiritual energy concentration... so they haven't confirmed my existence yet."

Listening to the voice coming from Qing'er, Yu Ziyu carefully analyzed it.

"Phew..."

Letting out a deep breath, Yu Ziyu felt slightly relieved.

Fortunately,

things had not reached the worst possible point.

If they could not be certain, then he still had a very good chance.

However, the most important thing right now was to consider the spiritual energy monitoring from outer space.

After some thought, Yu Ziyu still decided to start with the Turtle-Breathing Technique he had used when ambushing the Golden Giant Eagle last time.

That time, he had held his breath, thereby suppressing most of his aura and causing the Golden Giant Eagle to make an incorrect judgment.

If he could develop this into an ability and then strengthen it,

perhaps he really could evade the Spiritual Energy Monitoring Satellite's surveillance.

At this thought, Yu Ziyu drew his consciousness into his mind.

An ability. I need this to become an ability of my own, like the thick fog that constantly lingers around me... wait, the thick fog...

Suddenly taken aback, Yu Ziyu jolted in surprise.

He seemed to have been overlooking another power of the thick fog all along-concealing himself.

Fuck, could this be the manifestation of that Turtle-Breathing Technique I created?

Grumbling inwardly, Yu Ziyu actively mobilized the thick fog surrounding him for the first time.

Whoosh...

The thick fog churned like a rising wind, stirring dust into the sky.

Surging gusts rose through the Canyon, yet just then, an invisible pressure enveloping the entire Canyon slowly dissipated... until it fell to a level that was difficult to perceive.

Please show some support, (*^▽^*) thank you.
