Chapter 1129: Startled by Night Sounds
Derek Waltschi?
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name. This person was extremely famous among the martial artist community and was specifically mentioned in the list of precautions before the visitation team set out.
Waltschi hailed from the western coast of the Federation. In his early days, he had explicitly joined the Nature School and was active in the Central City of Wei Asia for a period of time.
After becoming a martial artist, he did not take up any positions in companies or the government. Instead, he often took on black ops for various countries around the world, overthrowing some regional governments and armies, suppressing local "riots," and even engaging in battles against entities on the other side.
However, this person was also very whimsical. Although he took money, he did not always complete tasks on time. What he did depended on his mood. Moreover, he had a peculiar habit: sometimes, halfway through a task, he would suddenly find the enemy too weak and unchallenging, or think of some delicious food or something he wanted to do, and would abandon the scene or even give up the mission entirely.
After some time, he might suddenly remember the task and return to continue it. This could be a matter of days or even years. It was not unusual for it to take a decade or more, depending on when he felt like completing it. He was very spontaneous in his actions.
This behavior became more and more brazen as his strength grew. He crossed many lines, leading to his being wanted by various countries worldwide and consistently ranking among the top few on the international wanted list.
In fact, if possible, the higher-ups of various countries would very much like to eliminate this person. He was a highly unpredictable factor, and it was hard to say when he might suddenly decide to attack a government or company executive, perhaps just because he found someone disagreeable.
However, this was very difficult to achieve because Waltschi was a martial artist of the Dongxuan Monastery level. In the Federation's hierarchy, he was a Throne Martial Artist.
Moreover, he had the Divine Aspect, and his spirit might be present in various parts of the world. If he were not eliminated in one go, there could be endless retaliation. Therefore, unless he caused severe or extremely heinous destruction, the countries had to endure and wait.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment. If this person was indeed in the vicinity, he was indeed an unstable factor.
However, they were here to find someone, and they already had a lead. They could not just give up and leave.
Even if this person did appear, if it was only a part of his strength, Chen Chuan was not afraid. Compared to his previous battle with a Dongxuan Monastery martial artist, his strength had improved. If the other party really engaged him, he would use it as an opportunity to test his recent progress.
He said to the investigation team members who were looking at him, "Don't worry about this person. Everyone, spread out and look around for any clues or signals left by Mr. Skalerson."
"Sure, Mr. Chen!"
The investigation team members did not want to give up either. They had come this far, and with a bit more effort, they might find the person.
Chen Chuan glanced at the arm that had turned to ash and then looked in a certain direction. The soul impact must have come from there. The enemy was in the air and extremely powerful, making it difficult for Skalerson to fully evade.
However, it was also possible that the person did not intend to kill Skalerson but only to weaken his combat ability. If that was the case, it would actually be a good thing, as it meant the person might still be alive and could be found.
Perhaps because many days had passed and the swamp environment was harsh, the investigation team members searched for a long time without any significant discoveries.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment. If that was the case, they would have to expand their search area. At this point, he wished Zhaoming were here to help, as it would increase their efficiency.
Zhaoming had come this time, but after eating the Kaqi Fruit, he had been in a prolonged sleep due to the growth of his Heteromorphic Organization. He was still lying in the vehicle, so Chen Chuan had to search alone.
At this moment, a carrion vulture perched on a withered tree in the distance suddenly turned its head and said to them, "Are you looking for someone?"
The investigation team members were all startled by this.
A seemingly ordinary bird speaking to them at night was a very frightening situation.
Chen Chuan looked over but did not seem surprised. Instead, he replied naturally, "Yes, we are looking for a missing friend, an international investigation team martial artist."
"You're a bit late, it's been many days. How many, you ask?" The vulture thought for a moment. "Hmm, five days? Ten days? It doesn't matter. I remember, he was taken away by two people. They seemed to be from the New Light Sect. Hmm, you'd better find him quickly, or he might be used as a sacrifice." The vulture's tone had a hint of schadenfreude.
Chen Chuan said, "We are still looking."
The vulture said, "Would you like me to guide you?"
Chen Chuan said, "If you are willing, then thank you."
The carrion vulture suddenly flapped its wings and landed before him, stretching its neck to stare at him, asking, "Why don't you ask me why I help you?"
Chen Chuan lowered his head and glanced at it, saying, "Your Excellency is not to help but to tell us what you want."
The carrion vulture looked at him for a few moments, then suddenly let out a hmm Haha laugh, then nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, it's what I want."
Everyone calmed down at this time, roughly guessing which Fighter had the Divine Aspect implant, but who exactly... they didn't dare to think deeply.
At this moment, a flapping sound came, the carrion vulture flew up, circling over their heads for a while, then heading toward that place.
Chen Chuan watched its direction and said, "Everyone, follow me." He led the way, following the direction the carrion vulture pointed.
No matter how fast the carrion vulture flew ahead, he never left the group behind. They advanced for about three to four hours, walking out the swamp area. By then, the sky started to brighten, and ahead, they could see a river forming a half-bend on a hill, with a tall stone fortress standing atop.
Chen Chuan glanced, seeing a military-like fortress, unlike the current form.
The leader looked and blurt out, "Fort Greviani!"
He explained to Chen Chuan, informing it was a checkpoint against the First People, at least from seventy years ago, now a tourist spot.
However, due to the nearby desolation, tourists mostly came by airship, with few walking or driving.
The carrion vulture said with interest, "Is this Place famous? You have a camera? Take a picture for me?" It showed its wings, posing a shape.
The investigation Team looked, though one member came and took a photo on the spot.
He said to the leader, "I'll go ahead and check, you please wait here."
The leader knew he couldn't help, busy saying, "Mr. Chen, that troubles you."
Chen Chuan nodded, the carrion vulture suddenly said with a dramatic tone, "I want to see what happens when you meet. I don't mind, right?"
Just as it finished speaking, bang, instantly a burst of flesh and blood. Everyone was shocked, stepping back a few paces.
Chen Chuan lowered his Finger, speaking calmly, "I don't mind."
"Chen, there is...?" The leader looked at him, asking, "Is... Is there a problem?"
Chen Chuan said, "This person, should be Walchi."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, though there were vague suspicions, they never expected this person to be the dangerous world fugitive.
Seeing the burst of blood and flesh, they were more uneasy, worrying this might anger Walchi.
Chen Chuan didn't explain to everyone.
Though the Carrion Vulture seemed friendly, its actions showed it could be unpredictable, from laughing freely to potentially causing harm. It acted on whims, but keeping it close was dangerous.
Though it was a weak divine aspect, wanting to kill the Investigation Team members would be effortless.
His body emitted a golden white light, his figure slowly rose, flying toward the fortress.
While immersed in music, a sharp whistle came from above, his fingers paused, brows furrowed, face showing displeasure.
