The most likely possibility is that this sound wave is so kind of creature calling out to its own kind, or issuing a summons to certain other creatures.
According to the data detected by the instrunts, this strange wave—a combination of infrasound and ultrasound—can travel very, very far, and has a strong ability to bypass obstacles.
At the sa ti, big data is monitoring the movents of creatures within a three-hundred-kiloter radius.
A few minutes later, a clue erges: in Wild Wolf Valley, three wolves fitted with tracking devices have left their usual range of activity.
The drones take off. Very quickly, the high-sensitivity thermal imaging equipnt mounted on them captures the wolves' movents. The pack has left their daily range, and they're moving in the direction of the Great Tomb Rift.
The information is shared, and imdiately people start to analyze—should they continue to observe, or should they intercept the wolf pack right away?
Others begin to check the records for any Demons in the vicinity.
Still others begin looking up registered Wolf Demons, and list conscription as one of the options.
When the Scorching Sun Departnt is faced with an incident, as long as the required authority is granted, their efficiency is extrely high.
Elsewhere, Wen Yan also returned ho. Unable to sleep, he tugged Gray Cloth along and cultivated in the backyard all night, making one final push on the progress in his left hand.
This ti, he felt sothing a bit different than before.
During cultivation, even within a single system, a faint trace of the power of blood and Qi began to blend in.
Previously, when he practiced Martial Training, he relied on the circulation of blood to cultivate Yang Energy.
This ti, however, it was precisely the reverse: as his blood and Qi surged, they in turn rged with the new system in his arm.
At this mont, he finally completed the process of rging the two, constructing a new cycle.
When he began to channel Power, both Qi and blood grew stronger—his blood thickened, and his heart was pumping with more force.
He didn't dare experint too much.
This showed him a new path: with the cultivation of both arms complete, he had originally planned to work on his legs next.
But judging from the current trend, the next step must be the torso, especially focusing on nurturing the internal organs and seeking ways to strengthen his heart's Power.
Based on his experints, the upper limit of explosive bodily Power is directly related to the heart, which has always been the bottleneck limiting his physical Power output.
After a night of cultivation, he could now confirm: because his Qi and blood were stirred when his eyes caught a flash of the Demon Fox's holy light, he accidentally found the way to trigger this step.
He would never have thought it would be sothing like that serving as the catalyst.
As he recalled, the feeling of his whole body's Qi and blood being mobilized was sothing he could rarely achieve under normal circumstances.
After he finished cultivating, Wen Yan checked his phone—no calls, which was a good thing, aning the Demon Fox wasn't dead yet.
Alright then, hopefully the Demon Fox really isn't dead yet. Who knows, he might actually need her to help him cultivate in the future.
He arrived at the hospital to find that Feng Yao was actually still there.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you leave?"
"Here we go again."
"What's going on?"
"Last night, so summons ca from within the Great Tomb Rift. Humans can't hear it, but the instrunts picked it up—it had a very high energy level.
Then, a few minutes later, we discovered that a pack of wild wolves, over a hundred kiloters away, had responded to the call.
There were also so stray dogs, dozens of kiloters from here, that responded as well. All have been intercepted."
"And then?"
"Then that wolf pack was subdued and relocated overnight to a habitat five hundred kiloters away.
The ecosystem there is suitable, and can accommodate the wolves.
At the sa ti, we'll test whether, over five hundred kiloters, this pack can still hear the summons.
Or, after being summoned yesterday, whether they will set out again today.
Now that this has happened, the higher-ups naturally hope the Demon Fox will wake up soon—we need her to provide us with intel.
Otherwise, we don't even know what's on the other side, what's out there, and we can't afford to act rashly.
The Old Celestial Master warned us long ago—unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to cross over to what's on this side.
You never know, maybe anything that crosses over could beco a beacon, a guide for things from the other side.
Maybe things that originally couldn't make it across—give them a marker, and they'll be able to co over."
Wen Yan recalled what the prompt had said—the Demon Fox responded to the summoning call because she was on the run, and forced to use this thod to escape.
It even ca to the point that she would risk the destruction of her body to do it.
He hadn't expected the Demon Fox to have soone answering or calling her; even then, it took a huge effort to get here. Yet there was still sothing on that side capable of sending sothing through.
"She was fleeing for her life when she was summoned—otherwise, she wouldn't have surrendered so fast after coming over."
"What kind of thing was it?"
"Didn't say, but judging by what you're hinting at, odds are it has sothing to do with wolves or dogs. Aren't there any unregistered Wolf Demons or Dog Demons in the Scorching Sun Departnt?"
"There used to be a Wolf Demon, but after that guy got an official post, he totally slacked off. As for Dog Demons, there are so actively serving—they're already being mobilized. They'll arrive before dark today. The question is, will this Fox Demon wake up?"
"Who knows. She shouldn't be dead; I really went all out to save her life."
Wen Yan checked the ti, changed his clothes, completed the disinfection, and entered the hospital room to feed the Fox Demon so more milk.
She did look a bit better today than yesterday, but those test results were still alarming.
After feeding the Fox Demon, Wen Yan waited a while longer to make sure she didn't throw up.
"You'd better wake up soon—the ones hunting you might already be tracing your path here.
Or maybe your trail has been discovered—if your pursuers can't get through, they're testing the waters.
If you don't provide intel, a lot of things on this side just can't be moved on recklessly."
Wen Yan kept muttering; the Fox Demon lay there dazed, as if half-asleep, half-awake, hearing voices from afar—faint, indistinct, almost unreal.
She couldn't quite make out what was being said, but instinctively sensed the danger.
But as a warmth washed over her, coursing through her body, she sank into it and drifted into a deep sleep.
The Demon Fox still hadn't woken up, so there was no way to ask her anything.
After leaving the room, Wen Yan glanced at his hands—Power flowed back and forth between his arms.
There were several signature techniques he could now try to study and attempt.
