"That's really lucky." Ye Yu turned around and smiled. "The Silver Sea is quite special; there's more than one of it. In your understanding, it's..."
"The Silver Sea is bound to different people at different times. You belong to the present, so the Silver Sea you see belongs to the present."
"The people here belong to the past, and the Silver Sea they see is the one from the past. The Silver Seas from two different periods can appear at the same time, but they will not interfere with each other."
Jiang Kehan scratched her head and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"What does the strike by the (four) zero Qi Ershi have to do with good luck?"
Ye Yu pulled out an exquisite light purple wooden pipe, but instead of tobacco, it contained a pool of liquid.
She tapped Jiang Kehan lightly, and the pool of liquid immediately began to boil, but the temperature remained unchanged.
"What I mean is, even if you're inside a portal, you can still use a contract as an anchor to contact your Meowball."
"Although they cannot descend here, they can share your vision and offer you some assistance."
Jiang Kehan was immediately surprised and subconsciously took out the contract she had signed with the little cat balls, intending to input magic power into it.
But Ye Yu stopped her with his pipe, then said, "Letting your consciousness enter the Silver Sea in the wild isn't a good habit. Let's contact them again once we've settled down."
"Otherwise, you'll easily become someone else's food."
Jiang Kehan then realized that she had been a bit reckless, but she really didn't know that when she contacted the Meow Ball with the contract, her consciousness would enter the Silver Sea.
Having a knowledgeable teacher around is great; it can help you avoid many mistakes.
“Okay, then I’ll sign the contract first.” Jiang Kehan nodded, took the contract Ye Yu gave her, and wrote her name on it with magic.
Immediately, Ye Yu narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, took a puff of the steam from her pipe, and exhaled softly, the rising mist enveloping her.
“A wise choice.” Her voice suddenly became a little strange, as if it contained a hint of meowing.
After the fog dissipated, Jiang Kehan saw a beautiful and elegant black cat appear in the spot where Ye Yu had been standing. The cat lightly leaped onto Jiang Kehan's shoulder.
Ye Yu's voice came from the cat's mouth: "Don't be surprised. In this form, only you can see me, and I can only touch you. I promise I won't affect the past history."
"Now you should think about how to fill your stomach."
"In the age of association, the ubiquitous energy not only prompted organisms to evolve, but also instigated their battles."
"This energy will accelerate our digestion extremely quickly, causing even the witch to need to force herself to eat to maintain her condition."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan immediately took out her staff from her personal space and decided to carry it with her.
The environment here is nothing like the imagined paradise; the laws of nature have replaced the law, and there is only a brutal food chain and fierce fighting.
Therefore, we must be fully prepared.
However, Jiang Kehan still asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Sister Ye Yu."
"What level of ability do I have in this era?"
Ye Yu raised her paw, put it to her mouth and licked it slightly, saying indifferently, "I'd say it's above average. If you become a true witch, it could be even higher."
These words startled Jiang Kehan, who looked at her hand in surprise.
She truly hadn't expected herself to be this strong.
As if seeing through Jiang Kehan's thoughts, Ye Yu used his not-so-sharp fangs to bite Jiang Kehan's ear, bringing her back to her senses.
"You're mistaken. It's not that you're very strong, but rather that the witches of this era are much weaker than those of the future."
"Although the essence of magic is the same, their spells have not undergone a major iteration, and their overall level is much lower."
"And there are still three days until the birth of the first great witch in history."
"At that time, the witch race that finds its evolutionary path will undergo a true transformation, and everything will be in turmoil."
Ye Yu squinted, picked up the floating cannon in front of him and played with it, and continued to add.
"That's why, even though there are many powerful witches, I still lack someone to be my partner."
“Strength is not important; what is important is to keep up with the times during this transformation, such as becoming a true great witch.”
Jiang Kehan finally understood that the first step in finding the thread of history was to keep up with its pace.
What's needed at this point isn't superior strength, but rather talent and character.
This really made her heart flutter!
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but lick her lips and asked Ye Yu for advice.
"So, Sister Yeyu, are there any suitable prey around here? I'm already feeling hungry."
Ye Yu paused slightly as he played with the floating cannons, then squinted his eyes with amusement.
She thought to herself: You're not hungry, you're just eager to face this unprecedented mass elimination, yearning for instinctive evolution.
Clara really recommended an extraordinary witch.
"Of course there is, but you might be the prey. Oh, by the way," Ye Yu said, handing the drone back to Jiang Kehan with a professional eye.
"Your staff is actually no longer commensurate with your strength. Once we reach the village, you can consider getting a different one."
"Although the witches of this era are rarely comparable to those of the future in terms of skill, they are much more generous in their use of materials."
Jiang Kehan knew this, but compared to changing her staff, it was more important to use the cat ball to enhance the power of her spells.
So she still uses this staff, but since the cat balls are banned, changing the staff has become a necessity. She doesn't want to be held back by the staff and fall behind the times.
"Okay, but do you have any money, Sister Ye Yu?" Jiang Kehan coughed lightly, intending to borrow Ye Yu's wallet.
“I don’t have it, but you will soon.” Ye Yu smiled and spoke calmly, “If you don’t become food for your prey, then your prey is your currency.”
"Bartering is the norm in this era."
"But if you are unfortunately eaten, I can only use my weak cat paws to dig a hole for you and then carry a few twigs to make a tombstone."
Jiang Kehan glanced at Ye Yu sideways, realizing for the first time that he was also a "nasty" person.
Sure enough, love disappears once the contract is signed.
Chapter 294 Prey and Hunter
Finding the prey's trail was not as simple as Jiang Kehan had imagined.
She carefully sprinkled magical dust, which could gather in places with high-density energy, such as the footprints left by powerful creatures.
However, in this era, the air is filled with a special energy known as "the favor of the stars," which causes the magical dust to simply spin in place and have no effect.
Since the props were useless, Jiang Kehan simply chose to search with her own eyes, but this action drew ridicule from Ye Yu.
"I'm quite relieved that you didn't just use magic to detect it directly, but relying on the naked eye is no better than just finding a tree branch, walking around on the ground a couple of times and seeing how lucky you are."
Jiang Kehan ignored the crickets chirping late into the night. This teacher was worse than she had imagined, believing that one could only learn a lesson by personally failing.
Despite Ye Yu's pointing and gesturing, if you asked her to teach Jiang Kehan the correct way to do things, she would just smile and say nothing.
Only after Jiang Kehan has suffered a loss will she slowly and sharply speak, further dampening Jiang Kehan's already low spirits.
Jiang Kehan deliberately floated not far from the ground to avoid leaving her footprints; she had learned her lesson the hard way.
The creatures of this era are far more alert and cunning than the dragons "raised" in the hunting grounds; they will flee at the slightest sign of trouble.
Jiang Kehan originally thought that the density of creatures around her was very low, which was why she couldn't find other creatures for a long time.
But when she tried to float up and broaden her field of vision to find prey, she discovered that it wasn't that there were few creatures around, but that they deliberately avoided the direction indicated by the footprints left by Jiang Kehan.
His cowardice made Jiang Kehan furious.
"Don't underestimate their survival wisdom; hunting is not easy." Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan, who seemed very busy, but it was unclear what she was busy with. She covered her face with her slender cat paws and spoke.
"Often, it is most important to understand whether the goal you are pursuing is suitable. Otherwise, you may find a prey that is not suitable for you at all."
"This is deadly enough for them, who are constantly switching between prey and hunter."
Jiang Kehan nodded helplessly. She had all the martial arts skills she needed, but she couldn't find a target to use them on, which had severely dampened her pride.
"It's a pity that my spell list is all for fighting witches, and I don't have many hunting spells, otherwise I wouldn't be so tired."
Jiang Kehan glanced at Ye Yu meaningfully, but Ye Yu looked up as if admiring the leaves, completely ignoring her.
This made the veins on her forehead bulge, but she was helpless.
However, Jiang Kehan soon discovered a jet-black feather. The aura emanating from it made her heart skip a beat and her eyes light up.
What she needs are prey that can give her a sense of danger. Unlike normal creatures, witches have powerful magic that can aid digestion, which means they can eat anything.
However, there is a drawback: the quality of witch food must match their level, otherwise eating it is no different from not eating it at all.
But just as she was about to land next to the feather, Ye Yu frowned slightly and scanned her surroundings.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Kehan approached, a dark figure rose up from behind her, moving swiftly but without making a sound.
She seemed unaware, but when the shadowy figure reached within a meter of her, the floating cannon she had hidden in her hand instantly transformed into a sharp lightsaber, piercing through the shadowy figure's body.
Jiang Kehan then slowly turned around and smiled.
Hmph, luring the enemy deep into our territory isn't just a trick of the Shadow Society; she's an expert in it too.
Jiang Kehan used her hand to lift the corpse of the dark figure. It was less than half a meter long, resembling a black lizard covered in feathers, with a thin membrane between its limbs that allowed it to glide quickly.
However, after she saw it clearly, her expression fell.
"How come I spent so much effort hunting a level 1 dragon? It's not even enough to fill my teeth."
Although Jiang Kehan said that, her hands were not slow in dismembering the body.
Putting aside everything else, the quality of materials produced by living beings in this era is absolutely top-notch. Just this little guy alone, once cleaned up, could sell for nearly a thousand Witch Gold.
The total value of materials produced by a normal level 1 dragon is only a dozen or so.
"This guy is called the Dark Lizard. He is often enslaved by certain dragon species and used as a means to harass his prey, hence the name Dark Lizard," Ye Yu said, looking at the jet-black feather.
"Its appearance only means that you have been marked as prey by a dragon, and you will be met with relentless harassment."
Jiang Kehan looked at the corpse of the Nether Lizard with some surprise. The dragon species in the Imaginary Land did not have such methods; they were more superstitious about their brute force.
As a teacher, Ye Yu quite competently explained things to Jiang Kehan at this moment.
“In the era of association, the connections between different species were still very close, and symbiosis, parasitism, and even enslavement were common.”
"What truly rendered this relationship useless was the massacre instigated by the Great Witch. At that time, we really had to rely on ourselves to survive, and the entire ecosystem was completely destroyed."
So it's all the witch's fault after all?!
Jiang Kehan hesitated, but then she understood why witches were called natural disasters.
