Chapter 1245 - Seeking Legends Among Winding Mountains
In the confrontation, the Egyptian guru, who had remained silent all this while, turned to stare at Fang Qiu and asked.
“Didn’t I make it clear?”
Fang Qiu shrugged, spread his hands, and said, “Give me your Spiritual Herbs, and I will tell you what I know.”
When they heard his request again…
The Egyptt guru frowned but did not reply.
On the other side, the Itali guru laughed.
“You are the first person to take something from me.”
The Itali guru said to Fang Qiu: “If I remember it correctly, you’re Well Known, right? I don’t know how you are related to John Doe, but only a few people can get things from me!
With this…
The Itali guru waved his hand and asked his men to bring the Spiritual Herbs.
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu happily collected them with a smile.
The Egyptt guru saw this.
He had no choice but to order his subordinates to give Fang Qiu their herbs.
When these people handed the Spiritual Herbs to him one after another, Fang Qiu smiled joyfully, but the eyes of the people around him were full of resentment.
They detested Well Known immensely but felt helpless and frustrated because they could do nothing about him. They were really in a dilemma.
Of course…
No one more than the Egyptt guru and the Itali guru…
The Greacie guru, who had not carried out any major tasks yet and had never taken the initiative to show his strength, directly asked his people to send the herbs to Fang Qiu without demur.
All the people from Huaxia laughed proudly.
Sure enough…
They felt proud, not for the herbs they had obtained, but for the fact that these people had compromised.
There were three gurus in total, including the Greacie guru, who had been silent all the while. They all gave in to Huaxia, which undoubtedly demonstrated Huaxia’s peerless strength.
After this small trial of strength, other forces would attach more importance to Huaxia. They would try their best to avoid Huaxia even if they were out to make trouble.
It was a representation of Huaxia’s dignity and power.
Therefore, everyone was flushed with success!
Here…
Now that all the eyes of his team members and others were on him, Fang Qiu ignored them and took his backpack to receive the bunches of Spiritual Herbs contributed by those forces as he beamed with joy.
Soon, he finished his harvesting.
“Come here. You can take half.”
Fang Qiu carried his backpack and gave half the Spiritual Herbs to the other Huaxia people with a bright smile.
On the other side…
Seeing these Huaxia people take their Spiritual herbs, people from various countries and organizations were very depressed. They felt even more resentful, especially when they saw Fang Qiu’s broad smile!
“We’ve given you what you asked for. Shouldn’t you tell us what we want now?”
The Egyptt guru stared at Fang Qiu and said.
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile, fastened his backpack, and touched his chin. When he walked to the big black stone, he squatted down.
Everyone immediately fixed their eyes on Fang Qiu.
They wanted to see what he would do and how he would summon the relic gate.
As a result…
After a long time…
Fang Qiu was still squatting beside the large black rock, as he did some calculations with his fingers like a fortune teller trying to predict the future.
Those foreigners couldn’t understand his strange act at all.
Though they didn’t know what Fang Qiu was doing, they started mimicking his movements.
At this moment…
Fang Qiu looked up.
He was dumbfounded when he saw this group of foreigners imitating him and couldn’t help chuckling.
On a sudden impulse…
He abruptly jumped up when everyone was studying his every move.
This gave all the people quite a start!
Then, as he walked back and forth around the big black rock, he clutched his fingers and muttered, “Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to look for the winding mountains, one barrier for one step forward.”
As he spoke, he even wagged his head from side to side like an old teacher from ancient times. He then secretly glanced at those foreigners around him.
To his surprise, they imitated what he did without the slightest hesitation.
“Numerous dangers outside, priceless treasures inside.”
Fang Qiu continued chanting as he walked around the big black stone.
As for those foreigners…
Not only did they imitate Fang Qiu’s movements attentively, but they even started repeating his words.
From a distance…
Fang Qiu was in the lead, followed by a long line of people who bobbed their heads about while reciting words they did not even understand. It looked as if they were doing some magic ritual.
Certainly…
None of the gurus did that. They just stood aside and watched coldly.
Over there…
When the group of Huaxia people heard what Fang Qiu said and saw what Fang Qiu and the group of people were doing, they suddenly flushed bright red.
“Aren’t those lines from a movie?”
“What the hell is John Doe doing?”
These Huaxia people wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. However, their lips twitched with amusement — they could hardly refrain from laughing aloud.
John Doe was so good at having fun.
But they couldn’t expose his trick.
If they revealed the truth, that would bring disgrace upon their own heads, wouldn’t it?
Even Luoyun, a guru, was stupefied by this scene.
Apparently, it also came as a complete surprise to him.
How could John Doe, a formidable expert in everyone’s eyes, come up with such a funny way of entertainment? Most importantly, those people believed it and seriously imitated whatever John Doe demonstrated.
Fortunately, those gurus didn’t follow them. Otherwise, others would split their sides with laughter after they learned about their hilarious deeds. At that time, they would feel too ashamed to go out!
He walked three laps forward and went on walking three laps in the opposite direction.
After circling the stone for six laps, Fang Qiu finally stopped.
He turned to everyone and said, “All right, tomorrow morning, the relic gate will appear.”
Everyone heard his announcement.
They all stood aghast with surprise.
“Tomorrow morning?
“What were those movements for, then?
“All our efforts were useless and meaningless?”
When they noticed the red faces of the Huaxia people, who were obviously still trying not to laugh, they also blushed scarlet.
Eventually, they realized that Well Known was making fun of them.
Nevertheless…
They were unwilling to face reality.
How embarrassing would it be if they admitted it?
“Tomorrow morning?”
The Egyptt guru asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.
“Well, then I’ll wait a few hours for you. If the relic gate doesn’t appear tomorrow morning, you will have to return everything you took from us!”
The Egyptt guru threatened.
“Okay, no problem.”
Fang Qiu carelessly shrugged and spread his hands, saying, “I won’t run anyway. Besides, I can’t escape even if I want to.”
After that…
He turned around and walked toward the site the Huaxia team occupied.
Luoyun also got back with the other team members.
Groups from other countries and various forces also returned to wait for daybreak.
Although no one seemed to be watching Fang Qiu, Fang Qiu knew that the gurus would keep an eye on him until the relic gate appeared.
When they got back to their campsite…
“Hey, are you sure you make the relic gate appear tomorrow morning?”
Luoyun asked as soon as he sat down.
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded in affirmation.
“Um.”
Luoyun responded with understanding and continued. “Things have come to this. The relic gate will emerge tomorrow morning. At that time, everyone will search for the key to open it. There is going to be another round of fierce rivalries. When will you reveal your true identity?”
“True identity?”
Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that they will unite against us?”
“Er…”
Luoyun stared at him, his eyes wide open.
Indeed…
Now, all the forces from various countries had a dread of Huaxia. If they knew Well Known was actually John Doe, the foreign forces would become hostile instead of fearful. At that time, the Huaxia group would be beset with unexpected difficulties!
“Forget it. Let’s forget it.”
Luoyun said politely with an awkward smile.
Early the next morning…
Dawn came, but the sun had not risen yet.
All the people from various forces woke up and waited for the appearance of the relic gate.
Fang Qiu had been resting with his eyes closed.
It was six o’clock in the morning.
When the sun rose above the horizon, Fang Qiu opened his eyes.
Last night…
He was still carefully observing the big black stone.
After floating for half the night, the big black stone had risen high enough.
“All right.”
Under everyone’s gazes, Fang Qiu got up, yawned, and stretched himself all the way. He walked up to the big black stone and stepped on it in full view of the large crowd.
“Buzz!”
The light curtain which rippled like water waves suddenly shot out.
The relic gate was formed in an instant.
“Swish…”
The moment it appeared, the Egyptt guru and the Itali guru leaped up simultaneously and pounced on Fang Qiu, ready to attack him.
At this time…
“Whiz!”
An earth-shattering sword cry rang out.
Luoyun flashed aside.
He unsheathed the long sword in his hand and rushed to Fang Qiu with an extremely fierce blast of Qi power. With one strike, he blocked the combined attack of the Egyptt guru and the Itali guru.
“Rahman, Francis!”
Luoyun’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the two of them and asked. “What are you up to?”
“Humph.”
Rahman, the Egyptt guru, withdrew his powerful offensive.
“Luoyun.”
Francis, the Itali guru, looked at Fang Qiu with a smile and said to Luoyun, “You should keep him away from the relic gate. Otherwise, if it disappears again, he’ll be in serious trouble.”
“You don’t know me at all.”
In the face of the surprise attack of two gurus, Fang Qiu kept cool. He shook his head and said, “You’re not familiar with my character. I’m a real gentleman!”
Rahman, the Egyptt guru, snorted coldly and said, “Stay away from the relic gate.”
“What about the others?”
Fang Qiu pointed to the others with a smile and said, “I won’t approach the gate, but are you not afraid of others stepping on it?”
“This is a restricted zone!”
Rahman inserted the long spear in his hand deep into the ground and said, “No one is allowed to enter within ten meters of the gate. If anyone dares to cross the line, don’t blame me for killing you all!”
“That’s right.”
Fang Qiu smiled, retreated ten meters away, and sat down.
The others also moved back.
Sure enough…
Under Rahman’s threat, no one stayed within ten meters of the big black stone. These people, who stood or sat ten meters away, studied the light curtain thoughtfully.
These natives of Egyptt took out a pile of items they prepared in advance to do the research as soon as they sat down.
It was the same with the groups from Itali and Greacie.
Moreover…
Even Luoyun and the others also took out many things to survey the relic gate.
On the other side…
The four great countries also brought many things to help them crack the secret of the relic gate.
“They each have their special prowess!”
Looking at everyone, Fang Qiu sighed with emotion.
Further away…
Upon seeing the relic gate, these individual cultivators gathered around the area again and were rooted to the spot.
They had not prepared anything at all!
