436 Treasure Hunting (2/2)
She had a desolate look on her face.
Fang Yuan felt a little pity for her. The entire Banyan Tree City was a rather secluded city and the man in charge, Zhao Daniu, was merely a Murderous Grade mutant who had limited powers.
He could not even deal with a Lorita, let alone the foreign forces.
”Mmm, I understand now. I will pay more attention to this.”
Fang Yuan nodded his head and sent his guests off as his eyes glistened.
He was the clearest about news regarding the cave at Bull's Head Mountain.
After all, the location which the Aquilaria Maitreya and the Asura pointed to was towards Bull's Head Mountain!
”This is a thousand year seal. I wonder what the ancient cultivators have left for me?”
His heart was filled with anticipation.
”Brother Fang!”
Ye Yingzi stood up. Zhao Daniu fidgeted and his eyes turned red. ”Come back... The chief of bureau and ourselves cannot hold on much longer.”
”Brother Fang?”
Fang Yuan appeared stunned. ”Who is that? Was he your old friend?”
”Enough, Comrade Zhao Daniu! Where's your discipline!”
Ye Yingzi remained solemn and secretly observed Fang Yuan's expression. Disappointed, she pulled Zhao Daniu and took their leave.
...
”Adoptive Father!”
When the both of them had left, Angel asked with curiosity. ”Are they your old friends? Does this count as revealing your true emotions?”
Her eyeballs darted around and Fang Yuan did not know what she was thinking.
”Aiyo... what are you doing?”
Fang Yuan rapped her head, making her cry.
”Don't let your thoughts run wild. Also, take out the two figurines from my safe in the room!”
Fang Yuan instructed.
”Oh.”
Angel leaped playfully into the house and within a few moments, she retrieved the Aquilaria Maitreya and the Asura.
Now, even she could detect that something was unusual with the two figurines.
A faint purple glow appeared on the surface of both figurines but did not show any signs of fading.
”Hmm...”
Fang Yuan glanced at Angel with a mysterious look. ”If not for the fact that you are around, I'm afraid these two figurines would have been activated and shocked the world.”
Under such a huge disturbance of spiritual energy, these two figurines could still emit the purple glow, proving that they were special figurines.
”Does this mean... these two are treasures? I know, they must be the magical equipment written in the legends!”
Angel's eyes glistened with excitement.
”You're wrong. They are merely a key!”
Fang Yuan stretched his hands out and shattered both figurines.
”Buzz! Buzz!”
From the crumbled pieces, a faint purple glow started to fuse together, forming the shape of a gem. There was a visible vibration of purple energy within the gem.
”Oh! Oh! Are we going to look for treasure?”
Angel became increasingly excited. ”I'll prepare.”
”No need for preparations. After all, it is just outside our house and we will reach it in a few steps!”
Fang Yuan shook his head. Controlling Angel, he made her fly up as they rushed towards Bull's Head Mountain.
...
Bull's Head Mountain.
”Roar! Roar!”
”Aw! Aw!”
Wild beasts of every species appeared. They were all huge in size and none of them feared death as they charged towards a particular party of people.
”Such cute pigs and monkeys...”
Seeing the animals, Lorita smiled and a shadow appeared around her. Like a black arm, she grabbed on to an aggressive monkey and forced it to kneel before her. ”Be a good boy and I will buy a banana for you...”
She stroked the monkey's fur on its head but had a serious look on her face. 'This type of monkey was just a normal monkey yesterday. However, today, it has transformed into a monster. Its ability makes it as powerful as a Ghost Grade mutant already.”
”Ah!”
”Help!”
With a slight hesitation, a member of her party was being coiled up by a python and was stunned.
”Leader Cai, quickly save him!”
One of the group members wailed as a middle-aged man fused a small fireball before him before smashing it on the huge snake.
”Hiss...”
The huge snake was in pain and tightened its grip even more, causing the unlucky fellow to roll suffer even more and was on the brink of death.
”Hehe... Leader Cai, you will harm him instead!”
Lorita chuckled. A shadow appeared behind her and struck down like a sharp knife.
With a flash, the python was beheaded.
