Xuanmen Prodigal Son

Chapter 264: Dig the hole and cover it with soil (4/30)

Views:

Looking around the field, all major forces have completed their assembly, and five figures appear in the front.

With a gurgle sound, an eagle landed on Zuo Qiuyun's shoulder. Its huge eyes moved with its head, as if conveying some message... After a moment, Zuo Qiuyun waved his hand, released the eagle, and shook his head and said, "The Flying Eagle Corps did not find the whereabouts of that person, but this small hilltop is a little unusual..."

Hearing this, Xiahou Rongchu laughed and said, "Isn't your Flying Eagle Corps known for its strongest reconnaissance capabilities? How come? You sent out almost the entire army, but you can't even find a single person?"

Zuo Qiuyun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he said angrily: "Humph! This place is not big or small, do you think it is difficult for that person to hide his words? How can we find them in a short time!"

Yu Rui remembered the previous difficulties this person had made. Seeing Zuo Qiuyun being defeated, he felt more relieved. He added insult to injury and said, "If the Flying Eagle Corps can't detect it, you won't send out the Sky Eye?"

"Asshole! The Sky Eye can only be used three times in each battle for the Imperial Garden. Don't you know how expensive it is to see through the fog and illusions and find the whereabouts of what you are looking for? I, the Lookout, have already done my best by dispatching the Flying Eagle Legion this time. You still want me to use the Sky Eye? What's your intention!"

"Hmph..." Yu Rui sneered twice, and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but Qian Wenxuan shook his head and interrupted, "In the face of a powerful enemy, everyone should say less. The most urgent task is to resolve this anomaly. Brother Zuo... What did your Flying Eagle Legion see?"

“… dots of light.”

"Hmm? A light spot?"

After this, everyone was in deep thought. After a moment, Xiahou Rong was the first to speak: "It's just a deliberate maze!"

“… You’ll know once you go in.”

"With so many of us, if we can use almost all our strength, we can handle it even if something unexpected happens."

The few of them quickly reached a consensus.

"The Flying Eagle Legion continues to hover in the sky and monitor the movements of the 'anomaly'. The Medicine Field Force will be the rear guard. One part of the Fine Armor Puppets and the Three Thousand Ink Armors will surround it, and the other part will follow the five of us to charge in!"

After making the decision, several people acted quickly, and soon they advanced step by step and arrived at the stone tablet on the hill.

With a click, a fine-armored puppet plunged a torch into the ground, illuminating the words on the stone tablet.

Then, the five of them were all slightly surprised: "This oddity is actually... also a competitor of the Imperial Garden?"

Zuo Qiuyun sneered: "In that case, we can just kill him! The eagle just reported that there seems to be no guards on this hilltop. We can find that guy and kill him!"

The other four people agreed and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, the five of them saw the so-called "dots of light"...

"This is… "

Even though they had already known about it, the five people were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. They saw countless light points of varying sizes buried in the soil, shining brightly in the night, and contrasting with the light of the torches. Looking straight ahead, it was like a group of stars. Walking into it was like wandering in the starry sky. The rich spiritual energy everywhere showed that this place was definitely not ordinary...

The five of them were not shallow-minded people and they soon noticed something strange.

"There is something..."

"Well, dig it out and take a look!"

Xiahou Rong made a gesture, and a fine-armored puppet holding a torch walked forward, stood where the light was, and squatted down. Then, its arm suddenly stretched out like a spring, inserted into the ground, and directly fished out the small piece of land like catching the moon from the bottom of the sea...

This set of movements was smooth and unobstructed, so smooth that several people felt something was wrong...

Click, click.

The fine-armored puppet walked back holding the handful of soil. The five people came closer to take a look and all recognized it...

"Fragments of a treasure?"

"Looking at the fluctuations in spiritual power, it should be a treasure from the Tongxuan realm... But... there are so many fragments here, like a sea of stars... Is this a treasure house?"

"The fragmentation technique is very sophisticated... It seems that if all the fragments are collected, it can be restored?"

"Well... each of us has some power to repair it, but the furnace in the backyard is the best place to do it..."

Having said this, everyone looked at Feng Shiming, with a complex emotion flashing across their eyes... But they quickly retracted their gazes and put on an indifferent expression again.

"So... now let's talk about it. What is going on? The sudden appearance of the 'odd number' and the sudden appearance of the 'treasure fragment', there must be a connection between them!"

"Um… "

"This matter is indeed strange... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Qian Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a guess... As you all know, the most important thing in the battle for the Imperial Garden is balance. Our forces all have advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. So it's a bit unreasonable that this place is so deserted..."

"So, could these fragments be some kind of 'compensation'? If that 'oddity' controls so many treasures, the situation is likely to change. So is it possible that these things did not appear at the first time, and this person guessed that we would encircle and suppress him, so he ran away first, and by mistake, gave this piece of precious land to us for nothing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately echoed them.

“… makes sense.”

"It is possible."

"Haha, so we are lucky this time?"

The three people in the room all expressed their agreement, and Qian Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little complacent. He turned his eyes to Feng Shiming, who had been silent since just now, and said, "Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Shiming pondered for a moment, then said leisurely: "... I was wondering if that 'odd number' got the 'Fairy Shop Voucher', then smashed it all and buried it here, setting a huge trap..."

After these words fell, the other four people were all shocked, their eyes were filled with surprise, but soon, Qian Wenxuan regained his composure and said with a faint smile: "Brother Feng, you are worrying too much!"

"Yes, not to mention how he got such a precious item as the Fairy Shop Voucher, even if he got it, how could he bear to smash it all? Such behavior is equivalent to squandering the family! You don't think that the person who came in to participate in the battle for the Imperial Garden is an idiot, a playboy and a prodigal, right?"

"Don't underestimate Feng Shiming. Xiahou and I were both defeated by that man. He is a tough guy and will never be as ridiculous as you say. Besides, do you have any evidence?"

"Feng Shiming, you have the highest level of cultivation and the strongest strength, and everyone agrees with that. But I don't like to hear you say such absurd things... Look around you, there are so many traps everywhere. If it were you, could you do such an incredible thing? Besides, what traps could there be? Anyway, my Flying Eagle Legion didn't find any danger..."

Feng Shiming listened to everyone's laughter and rejection, and murmured: "Are you worrying too much..."

At this moment, the five people felt an earth-shaking sensation at the same time, their pupils shrank, and they quickly jumped back. They saw that in an instant, all the torches here were extinguished, and a huge figure stood out in the night, rushing towards them!

"Fire energy beast?"

"No wonder... he was able to evade detection by our Flying Eagle Legion. It turns out he was hiding in the flames..."

"It is certain that the helper of the 'odd number' is the ferocious beast. I just wonder how this one ranks among him?"

"Hey... Is he here to cover the retreat? Just as Brother Qian expected, he escaped!"

Several people faced the fire beast that had swallowed a lot of flames and grew to the height of three or four people, but they were not panicked at all. Instead, they talked and laughed, not taking the other party seriously at all.

"Roar!" As if it could read the contempt of the people on the opposite side, the Fire Energy Beast roared immediately, and with earth-shaking steps, it knocked away the two fine armor puppets blocking the way. The flames spread to them and burned the black armor soldiers behind them! After breaking through these obstacles, the Fire Energy Beast poured all its strength into its tail, and with a tail swing, the flames surged!

"Hey! I'll do it!" Seeing this, the other four remained calm, allowing Zuo Qiu Yun to step forward in one step and block the incoming force with both fists!

clang!

The huge flaming tail was actually held tightly by this person. The flames ignited and extinguished in his palm. Then, without waiting for the fire beast to react, Zuo Qiu Yun sneered and directly grabbed its tail and threw it out!

At the same time, an iron fist with flames hit its chest directly!

With a bang, the fire beast fell heavily to the ground, with flames burning everywhere, and countless tiny flames falling from its chest, as if it was its "blood"...

“Roar!” The fire beast swung its tail unwillingly, and suddenly, a thin and long crack of fire rushed straight towards Zuo Qiuyun at an extremely fast speed, and the scorching heat rushed towards him, as if it wanted to burn him to ashes, but...
