Chapter 932 - The Reappearance of the Heaven Treasure! (1/2)
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at the group of people led by He Gaoming who suddenly stood up, Chen Xiaogang asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu and Zhao Rulong also stood up.
“What’s going on?”
Zhao Rulong also asked in confusion, “Why are you all looking so serious? What happened?”
“Are you alright?”
Fang Qiu pretended that he didn’t know what was going on.
“I’m fine.”
He Gaoming smoothened his brows and suddenly laughed, saying, “Didn’t you hear the tiger’s roar?”
“Yes, I heard it.”
Chen Xiaogang nodded his head and said, “There is a mountain named Crouching Tiger Mountain near this base. It is surrounded by mountains. It is said that in order to prevent people from going up the mountain to set fire, the forest guardians would often play the record of the tiger’s roars at night. Thus, the local people are used to it.”
“I see.”
He Gaoming scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “We overreacted as it’s our first time here.”
As soon as he said that, everyone laughed and sat down again.
“Will there be any danger?” asked He Gaoming again.
“You martial arts practitioners are afraid of tigers?”
Zhao Rulong glanced at He Gaoming in surprise and then said, “Even if there are wild tigers in the mountains, we’ll be safe as they are still far away from here.”
“I can put down an ordinary small tiger with one finger,” said He Gaoming proudly.
Everyone knew that he was going to brag.
But the next second, He Gaoming frowned and tried hard to recall the roar he heard just now.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He quickly took out his mobile phone and used navigation to check the distance between Crouching Tiger Mountain and the place where they were, like a detective.
The distance was about ten kilometers.
How could the voice of an ordinary tiger reach so far?
“No, I have to go there and have a look.”
He Gaoming waved his hand and shouted to everyone present. “Let’s go to check whether there is a tiger or not.”
The group of people stood up and walked out together.
“Are you really going there?”
Chen Xiaogang looked quite confused.
“We are experts, so we’ll be fine. We’re going there to have a look and we can clear the hidden danger for you,” He Gaoming said with a smile.
Chen Xiaogang and Zhao Rulong exchanged a glance and could not help but smile wryly after hearing that.
“They must have nothing better to do. I’ve told them that it was a sound recording.” they thought.
He Gaoming had already driven to Crouching Tiger Mountain with his fellows.
“Don’t do anything stupid.”
Seeing that he was unable to stop them, Chen Xiaogang gave a wry smile and warned them.
Soon, the group of people drove to Crouching Tiger Mountain.
“Roar!!”
Just as they arrived at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain, an earth-shattering roar came again, ringing in the ears of He Gaoming and the others.
Everyone’s face froze.
“It seems to be a real tiger, not a sound recording at all!” He Gaoming said solemnly.
The group of people got out of the cars and Li Boqing, who was standing beside He Gaoming, said with a frown, “Sounds like this tiger is not an ordinary one.”
“Let’s go up and have a look first.” He Gaoming pursed his lips at the top of the mountain.
The group of people immediately went up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, they saw a huge black shadow.
They took a closer look and found that it was a huge tiger standing at the top of the mountain.
The tiger was as large as an elephant!
This scene frightened everyone.
Even though they were not weak, they felt terrified out of their instinct and were at a disadvantage when they were faced with a fierce beast like a tiger.
“What should we do now?”
Li Boqing asked in a low voice, “Should we continue to go up the mountain?”
“This is a guardian beast.”
He Gaoming looked at the big tiger with shining eyes and said, “Since there is a guardian beast, there must be some Heaven and Earth Treasures. Let’s go up the mountain and have a try first. It’s best if we can handle it on our own. If we fail, I’ll call my master!”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately became excited and were eager to go up the mountain, ready to take action.
“Li Boqing, go up the mountain with a team of men first and test the strength of this guardian beast. Let’s see if we can put it down!” He Gaoming ordered.
Li Boqing didn’t hesitate at all.
He immediately rushed forward with a team of men and charged at the giant tiger without saying a word.
He Gaoming and the others followed closely behind.
“As we have expected!”
While Li Boqing and his men were fighting against the giant tiger, He Gaoming and the others were attracted by a stone behind the giant tiger on the top of the mountain.
It was an oval-shaped, green stone that one could encircle with both arms.
Taking a closer look, they found that there were some extremely fine, silky purple vines on the surface of the green stone. These vines were as thin as ordinary needles.
The stone was covered by the vines.
After observing the stone carefully, they saw a thumb-sized purple crystal at the center where those purple vines intersected.
This crystal was octagonal and extremely beautiful, and it was purple all over.
“Heaven Treasure! It’s a Heaven Treasure!”
He Gaoming became excited.
He could feel the strong Qi of Heaven and Earth in the surrounding air. Although he had never seen such a stone before, he was sure that it was a Heaven Treasure because it was impossible for an Earth Treasure to emit such strong Qi of Heaven and Earth!
