Chapter 1240 Egyptt Gurus!
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The Egypttians left.
When Fang Qiu was about to look away from the Egyptt group, the sound of something piercing through the air flashed past him.
Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately looked over.
Over there…
A figure rushed over from the direction of Kairo, too fast for Fang Qiu to see it. In no time, it caught up with the team of Egyptt.
As soon as this man arrived, these people from Egyptt immediately followed behind him and they moved forward.
“An Egyptt guru?”
Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The moment the man appeared, he sensed the aura of a guru on him.
Fang Qiu turned to look at him. Through the guru moved with astonishing speed, he stood ramrod straight, as if he were stepping on a pair of fast-moving wheels. It was apparent from his face that the guru was a typical ancient Egypttian and seemingly a middle-aged man.
“I didn’t expect that an Egyptt guru would come out.”
Fang Qiu felt slightly surprised.
It seemed that Egyptt had no intention of compromising.
He thought about it for a while.
Fang Qiu shook his head and continued to protect this place.
He had guarded this place for a full day and night. After these Egypttians went off, no one visited the pharmaceutical factory nor disturbed them. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The most critical period had passed.
All the forces that were supposed to come had been here and walked away. There should be no other forces coming.
However, since those forces that had arrived did not sabotage the pharmaceutical factory, they wouldn’t do anything terrible to the factory in the following days either.
Notably…
All of them would soon have to scramble frantically for resources.
The pharmaceutical factory was close to the entrance of the ancient ruin. People came here simply for supplies. Once the competition began, who would pay attention to replenishment?
“Whew…”
Fang Qiu opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
When guarding the pharmaceutical factory, Fang Qiu obtained some information and concluded that there had at least three gurus that came this time!
“One from Egyptt, a gunman from Greacie, and a westerner who can make himself look like an illusion.”
“However, these people are deliberately hiding their auras. Although they can’t completely conceal their real strength, it is challenging for others to detect it except me.”
“In addition to the three experts, I know one from Huaxia. The other four great countries must have also sent some mighty ones here, but I haven’t yet met any of them.”
“In addition to these people whom I know for sure, I don’t know how many people are still hiding in the dark.”
“Sure enough, there are many more gurus in the world than we know of.”
“Many more fierce battles are going to happen!”
Fang Qiu exclaimed with emotion.
He calculated the number of gurus that had shown up, which seemed to be more than 20. But he was surprised to find out that he seemed to have seen the same number of gurus in person.
It was unknown how many gurus had come to Egyptt this time.
“Those spiritual herbs that are inferior to Earth Treasure are about to mature.”
Fang Qiu looked toward the spiritual herbs.
Fang Qiu, who stayed to guard the pharmaceutical factory, was nearly seven kilometers away from the area with spiritual herbs, yet he had been observing the situation over there with his Divine Consciousness. Hence, he saw the growth situation of the spiritual herb quite clearly.
Without much effort, Fang Qiu figured out when those spiritual herbs would mature according to the change of Qi of Heaven and Earth and the content level of Qi of Heaven and Earth in these herbs.
“Are gigantic struggles about to begin?”
Fang Qiu stood up.
He looked at the sign next to him.
By using his Divine Consciousness, he thoroughly scrutinized the area within 50 kilometers around him. After he made sure that there were no threats, he shot up to the sky and headed for the spiritual herbs with an astonishing speed.
In about two or three minutes…
He reached the land with spiritual herbs.
Although a large number of spiritual herbs had been transplanted here, lots of forces from all over the world rushed to this place. When Fang Qiu arrived, these forces had taken their large or small areas in tacit agreement. More powerful forces occupied more extensive areas than those weaker ones.
They carved up the vast tract of land densely covered with spiritual herbs.
People from each force surrounded the spiritual herbs patch they took over and waited for them to mature, so they could pick them at the first possible chance!
Upon arrival…
First of all, Fang Qiu ran his eyes over the area.
He found that people from Huaxia had already taken an area that was not that small.
He nodded with approval.
Fang Qiu walked to a relatively large area.
People in this area just teamed up temporarily — they were individual cultivators from different countries.
Fang Qiu approached them.
He immediately grinned broadly at everyone and said, “Please squeeze up a little. Let me get in there!”
He asked for this favor very naturally.
All the people in this temporary team visibly bristled with annoyance as they glared at Fang Qiu speechlessly and with hostility.
Members of this group almost outnumbered the spiritual herbs. Furthermore, having one more person couldn’t considerably increase their overall strength. On the contrary, he would take a share of the profits that the group gained. So, Fang Qiu’s appearance upset everyone!
Not surprisingly…
Fang Qiu had just walked over.
A powerfully built man immediately walked over and stretched out his hands to shove Fang Qiu’s shoulders, as he tried to hustle Fang Qiu out of the pack.
To his great surprise…
“Pop!”
The burly man failed to make Fang Qiu retreat an inch. Instead, with a loud bang, a mighty force erupted from Fang Qiu and knocked him back several steps.
In a split second…
The man’s face paled.
When he looked at Fang Qiu again, he gulped awkwardly, stood still, and dared not move.
Seeing this…
The others cleverly zipped their mouths.
For one thing, Fang Qiu possessed great strength. For another, these spiritual herbs were about to mature. If they quarreled with Fang Qiu at this time, other forces would take advantage of it to benefit! After all, they were just a temporary team.
They had no choice but to let Fang Qiu join them.
Everyone around them witnessed this scene.
For a time…
All of them stared at Fang Qiu curiously and thought to themselves.
“This man is from Huaxia, but why didn’t he go to the area taken by Huaxia people?”
“Wasn’t Well Known from Huaxia? Shouldn’t he go to the Huaxia people’s place? How could he fight for a place among independent cultivators?”
All of them were utterly bewildered.
“Everyone.”
Suddenly, a man from the Egyptt government that had occupied a large area stepped out, scanned the crowds present, and said, “This place is within the territory of Egyptt, so everything here belongs to us. It’s sort of against the rules for you to come uninvited, isn’t it?”
As the critical remark went out of his mouth…
The people of all forces were slightly stunned and burst out laughing.
“He waited and accused us just when the spiritual herbs were about to mature. These people from Egyptt want to pick a quarrel, don’t they?”
“But they were no slower than others when they grabbed a place just now.”
“That’s right. They appeared to have consented to everyone’s existence, but now they’re trying to make trouble. These people on behalf of the Egyptt government harbored malicious intentions.”
Everyone began to talk about them in whispers.
Just then…
“Humph!”
The Bloody Lion Mercenaries had taken up a small piece of land. At this time, its commander, who could hardly open one of his eyes due to the scald mark, came out and argued, “Strength decides everything. As far as I know, this is an area under no one’s jurisdiction and doesn’t belong to Egyptt!”
“You’re wrong!”
The Egyptt representative immediately stood up, opened a document before everyone, and said, “This is the letter of national authorization for this area. From now on, the Egyptt government will take over everything in this land.”
“A letter of authorization?”
The commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries sneered and said, “Who can prove it is true? This is an ungoverned zone. Who gave you the authorization letter? Before you received it, who owned this land? Was this document from the previous owner?”
The group representing the Egyptt government was stumped by this series of questions.
Everyone echoed his questions.
Over there…
Those people on behalf of the Egyptt government were visibly angry all of a sudden.
“Reckless fool!”
A furious shout came. A middle-aged man holding a sharp spear made of black iron came out of the crowd and threw a cold glance at the commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries. Then an incomparably strong stream of Qi power erupted from him with a loud bang, “Now, everyone, leave this place immediately!”
Right after he revealed his mighty power…
Everyone present was greatly amazed.
“A guru?”
“He is a guru?”
“Gosh! He is an S-class expert?”
“I didn’t think the Egyptt government would send out an S-class expert!”
As they discussed the matter, many people frowned.
Some small-scale forces began shrinking back, and even some medium-sized organizations started retreating
After all…
No one had the guts to provoke a guru at will.
However…
Just as everyone was forced to retreat…
“Boom!”
Another aura of a guru burst open.
Hearing that, everyone immediately turned to see what was going on.
There…
The man who could turn him into a virtual image emitted that guru-level aura.
“He is from Itali.”
“Itali? Roma Shrine?”
“People from Roma Shrine are also here?”
Exclamations rang out continuously.
“Itali?”
Hearing the discussion, Fang Qiu caught a glimpse of the young man whose body could become transparent and thought to himself, “Roma Shrine, is he an elf?”
Before everyone could recover from their shock…
The Egyptt guru spoke up.
“Each of us should mind our own business. How could you come here to rob?”
Staring at the young man from Itali who erupted with the aura of a guru, the Egyptt guru asked with a frown.
“Ho ho.”
The young guru smiled and said indifferently, “If a relic shows up in my country, I don’t believe you won’t come.”
“Humph!”
The Egyptt guru snorted coldly.
Then he immediately turned his head, looked at those forces without gurus, and barked ruthlessly, “The rest of you, get out of here!”
There…
All of a sudden, the face of the commander of Bloody Lion Mercenaries clouded over. He was not a guru and not even a Half-step Guru. However, he had already accepted the mission with a bounty. How could he be forced to withdraw before gaining anything?
“We can leave.”
The commander, his eyes fixed on the Egyptt guru, responded with a sneer, “But citizens of Egyptt cannot leave!”
Obviously, it was a threat.
The commander threatened the Egyptt guru with the lives of citizens in Egyptt.
“You’re courting death!”
The Egyptt guru snapped furiously, and his face darkened.
