Chapter 1244 It Disappeared Again with Another Kick…
Fang Qiu finally learned about the details.
He thoroughly understood why forces worldwide paid so much attention to relics.
Just as Luoyun said…
The appearance of Heaven and Earth Treasures was unpredictable. Besides, its growth waited for no man, and there were only a few buyers due to its exorbitant prices. Therefore, improving one’s strength with Heaven and Earth Treasures was very difficult.
But the relics were different.
Anyone who managed to get the items in the ruins could significantly improve his strength!
Some relics might not have many treasures, but each must contain something of great value.
For example, the relic in Zangjiang…
In the eyes of others, there was nothing worthwhile in that relic. It couldn’t help them improve their strength. It was just like a fake relic.
But if the others had known Fang Qiu had obtained an entire jade mine from it, they would have been madly jealous!
What did a jade mine stand for?
If Fang Qiu handed it over to his country…
This jade mine alone could improve the strength of Huaxia’s armed forces to a higher level!
This jade mine, however, was of better value in Fang Qiu’s hands.
For example, Fang Qiu was going to produce some super Dan Pellets. Once he succeeded, he could bring more achievements than a simple improvement of armed strength.
After hearing Luoyun’s explanation…
Fang Qiu also understood that for his country, every ancient relic was equivalent to a rare mineral resource, such as an oil field in this turbulent world and the like, and they had to be fought for. If one couldn’t get such a kind of treasure, he would have to make sure others wouldn’t get it, either!
Fang Qiu finally understood.
He nodded and suddenly poked his head out of the grass, and looked toward the big black stone he had stepped on, in surprise.
After he took one glance at the big black stone, he was slightly taken aback.
He tried his best to make others believe his actions had no effect on the relic gate. However, Fang Qiu had always been very certain that the big black stone was highly likely the opening gear of the relic gate. After all, he had stepped on it so many times in the beginning. Each time, the light curtain appeared or disappeared. In the end, his kick no longer worked. There must be some reasons for the change.
Thus…
When the crowd drifted away from the field, Fang Qiu closely watched the large black stone using his Divine Consciousness.
To his surprise…
After a brief moment, he noticed the change.
It was also because Fang Qiu sensed the change in the big black stone that he suddenly looked up at it.
“Is that so?”
After a quick look at the big black rock, Fang Qiu sat down again.
He clearly sensed there was something different about it.
Since everyone walked away, the big black stone had been slowly floating up.
But…
It rose very discreetly.
Sometimes, he even felt that it had not moved at all.
Fang Qiu wouldn’t have noticed this if he had stared at it with his eyes. However, when the rock was shrouded in his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu clearly sensed its slight movement.
More than that…
Fang Qiu had a distinct impression that the big black stone kept going up. Though it rose at an extremely slow speed, it showed no sign of stopping.
Soon…
Everyone around him closed their eyes either to sleep or cultivate.
Fang Qiu also sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
His Divine Consciousness was still focused on the black stone.
In this manner…
Fang Qiu waited for more than an hour.
When he was certain that the big black stone had risen to a certain level, Fang Qiu carefully checked the other forces and found that almost everyone’s auras were smooth and steady. Then, with a stir of his mind, he quietly opened his eyes and moved stealthily toward the big black stone.
Seeing that the big black stone indeed had risen a little, he pondered for a moment. Then he abruptly stretched out his right foot.
He stamped heavily on the big black stone!
“Buzz!”
The light curtain that looked like water ripples shot up into the sky after his kick.
The relic gate reappeared!
It dazzled with brilliance in the darkness.
This time…
Fang Qiu was dumbfounded.
All the people around the field who were cultivating with their eyes closed instantly woke up simultaneously!
The three gurus, in particular, immediately rushed to the light curtain.
The others followed up at full speed.
Seeing this…
Fang Qiu stomped hard again.
“Swoosh!”
The light curtain flickered.
It vanished.
At this moment…
Everyone had gathered around Fang Qiu.
Watching the relic gate disappear after Fang Qiu kicked it, everyone suddenly went mad.
“Get out of the way!”
The Egyptt guru rushed fiercely forward, pulled Fang Qiu away, and began to try it himself.
Well…
After stepping on it repeatedly for a long time, there were no changes.
The others also rushed forward to try it, but nothing happened, no matter how hard they tried.
Behind them…
Fang Qiu couldn’t help laughing.
He was secretly pleased to see them making all kinds of attempts.
These people didn’t know the trick, but he had already figured it out.
It was very obvious…
He had observed the stone for such a long time. From the information he had gathered, he was sure that this big black stone was the mechanism to summon the relic gate.
It was ineffective before but worked this time. Why? It was because the big black stone was rising!
Before this…
The relic gate appeared when Fang Qiu stepped on it for the first time. Later, it was closed after he touched it with his foot. Then, when he kicked it, it came out again. Fang Qiu repeated this action more than ten times.
As a result, he pushed the big black stone that floated up some way from the bottom.
This time…
The big black stone rose again. When Fang Qiu stepped on it again, the light curtain appeared as expected.
However, no matter how hard the others tried, their efforts were to no avail.
It was because Fang Qiu stamped his foot heavily on purpose. When he closed the relic gate, he added another hefty kick, which sent the stone to the bottom.
“There seems to be some inexplicable energy that can raise this huge black stone. As long as the stone is above a certain height to the ground, I can touch it to summon the relic gate. It will disappear with another push.”
“The stone will stop rising once it reaches its height limit. When it comes to the top, the relic door will automatically appear, whether it is touched or not. But the appearance of the relic door will consume the mysterious energy that lifts the stone. When this energy is used up, the relic gate will disappear and we would have to wait for its next appearance.”
Fang Qiu nodded to himself.
He had mastered the mechanism of the relic gate!
Before him…
The people of all forces who surrounded the stone were still making efforts to crack the puzzle.
Unfortunately, one after another, they continuously stepped on the big black stone, pushing it back to the bottom again and again. Therefore, no matter how hard they tried, there was no reaction.
Under these circumstances…
The crowd could no longer restrain their fury.
They all turned to stare furiously at Fang Qiu!
“It must be him!”
“Who now dares to say it has nothing to do with him?”
“Finally, the relic gate appeared. Again, it was gone because of him.”
“Finally, I know it. This big black stone is not the key to open the relic gate but the one that closes it. This guy has been guarding it all the time. As soon as the relic gate emerged, he will make it disappear. He is simply going against all of us!”
The crowd heard all of this.
They were all stunned.
It seemed to be possible!
Otherwise, no matter how hard the others tried, none brought out the relic gate. In contrast, it was gone every time Fang Qiu stepped on the stone!
“What the hell was going on?”
One of them flew into a great rage. He stood out of the crowd, glared at Fang Qiu coldly, and barked questions at him, “What on earth did you do? If you don’t make it clear today, we won’t let you go easily.”
“Yes, you have to clarify the situation!”
“Why did you stand near it whenever the relic gate appeared? Why did it disappear every time you touched the stone? Every unusual change happened because of you. You must explain it to everyone!”
The crowd began to condemn him for what he had done.
“Give me your Spiritual Herbs.”
In the face of their reproaches, Fang Qiu chuckled and spread his hands, and said, “If each of you handed over one-fifth of your Spiritual Herbs, I’ll tell you what you’re eager to know. Otherwise, I will keep it to myself.”
His voice sounded across the field…
His request made their blood boil.
At this time…
“You’d better say it now!”
The Egyptt guru stepped out and said after giving Fang Qiu an icy glare. “If you speak up later, you’ll be in serious trouble!”
On the other side…
“Well Known?”
The Itali guru also came forth to say, “I don’t want to hurt you. I hope you can tell us what you know. Don’t make us wait too long, or you will regret it.”
Evidently…
They were threatening Fang Qiu.
Their message was crystal clear — if he didn’t reveal the truth, they would make things difficult for him!
When the two gurus walked out to ask for an explanation, those who were extremely angry at Fang Qiu were suddenly excited. They all stared at Fang Qiu, and the last traces of their fear of Fang Qiu dissipated.
When faced with their threats…
Fang Qiu couldn’t help frowning.
How could he bear the consequences of provoking two gurus?
Just when Fang Qiu was thinking about what to do.
“Serious trouble?”
A voice suddenly sounded.
All of them turned to see who had spoken.
The Huaxia group was heading toward Fang Qiu. Luoyun was walking at the head of the group with a long sword in his hand. Fearlessly, he walked up to the Egyptt guru and the Itali guru. As he went ahead of Fang Qiu, an exceedingly sharp and daunting aura erupted from his body.
A guru!
This guru was even a little more powerful than the two gurus from Egyptt and Itali!
Luoyun showed up.
Instantly, the eyes of all the people present widened in astonishment.
Everyone knew that Huaxia must have sent experts here, but no one expected that the expert from Huaxia had been hiding among them.
Notably…
Judging from the outburst of aura from him, they knew his strength was even better than that of the Egyptt guru.
A stream of imposing Qi power shot up to the sky.
Over there…
Both the Egyptt guru and the Itali guru had released equally horrifying Qi power.
Three unparalleled Qi power instantly formed a triangle.
“Huaxia people never cause trouble, and we are never afraid of it!”
Luoyun, whose guru Qi power had erupted, looked quite different. When he faced the two gurus, he was undaunted. Others faintly felt he clearly had dominance over his two mighty opponents.
Hearing Luoyun’s words…
The faces of the two gurus changed drastically. After casting a glance at Fang Qiu, they fell silent.
They all knew…
It was not the right time to fight.
If it were just Fang Qiu, they could slaughter him fast. But now, a Huaxia guru intervened. It seemed that there was only one guru from Huaxia, but all the forces in the world knew the formidable strength of Huaxia. No one knew if there were any other Huaxia experts hiding in the dark.
Hence, no one dared to make a move, and the three sides just confronted each other on the spot in this manner!
