Chapter 82: The Treasure Collector
Without a group of task forces dragging his feet, Yun Kang felt much more relaxed, and chased after the uniformed black shadow all the way. A series of footsteps "crackled", echoing through the dark passages, and kept reaching into the distance.
Yun Kang's footsteps did not stop, but he found that the person in front of him was running fast, his body was fluctuating, like an arrow from a string, and the distance between him was getting farther and farther, and he was about to be unable to catch up.
The flashlight swept backwards, and the task force had long been thrown out of sight.
So Yunkang didn't have to pretend to cover up, he immediately transported two balls of true qi from under his feet, took a Tiangangyu step, and rushed forward with a "whew".
"How can you not catch up!" Yun Kang was very unconvinced, "Xiao Ye is a cultivator who has stepped into the immortal path, and I don't believe that I can't catch up with you as an ordinary mortal." β
No matter how fast a martial artist runs, it is not as fast as an immortal cultivator in the high-level qi refining stage who can fly against the wind, in other words, no matter how awesome the light skill is, it is not as good as an immortal who can fly on the clouds.
It's a pity that Yunkang is the skill of the first layer of qi refining, and his true qi is far from enough, and he can't do it for the time being, but this doesn't affect his ability to increase his foot strength to the limit.
It only took two breaths for Yun Kang to quickly catch up, and the distance between him and the person in front of him was much closer, and in the end, there were only more than a hundred meters left between the two.
Yunkang just used Tiangang Yu to catch up, the speed is beyond imagination, if there is a camera connected to the outside at this time, to do a global live broadcast, then people will be stunned, this yellow-skinned and black-eyed Asian young man, his 100-meter speed is a miracle, throwing the world record far away, how did he do it!
But the 100-meter record-breaking thing has nothing to do with Yunkang, he just wants to catch up with the kid in black uniform in front of him at the moment.
100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters...... Immediately approaching the figure of the person in front, Yunkang "swished" and flew into the air. His left foot stepped on the stone wall next to him, and with a sharp kick, his right foot spun and kicked the man in the back.
These two consecutive moves of footwork are smooth, and the movements are even more in one go, Yunkang confidently kicked over, and he had to kick that guy until he vomited blood.
In the midst of the lightning, the man suddenly turned around, twisted his body and leaped backwards, and after making a cushion, he raised his arm and forcibly blocked his flying kick.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound on the ground, and Yunkang's legs fell to the ground, and he was forced to take half a step back.
The man's arm was also numb, and he shook it twice, and quickly turned sideways, waving his other arm in front of him, assuming a defensive posture.
Yunkang was unwilling to make a draw, and he kept stepping under his feet, and kicked over again with a series of flying feet. The man was silent, but his arms were blocked forward, and he turned and dodged left and right in succession, and retreated backwards.
"Puff puff!" Yunkang's flying feet were like lightning, kicking the opponent's arm again and again, but that person had profound skills and saw the moves. The two couldn't get stuck for a while, and they couldn't tell the winner.
"You're in the late stage of the Yellow Order." Yun Kang's voice did not fall, when even a volley whirling kick came out, smashing directly into the front door of the man's head.
The man's eyes were raised, his eyebrows tightened, and a mist-like internal force aura emerged from his body with a "poof", forming a thick defensive shield, and then his palms were closed in front of the front door, blocking Yun Kang's flying foot force.
Yun Kang saw that his footwork couldn't help him, and he was secretly a little surprised in his heart.
This martial artist's lower plate is solid and steady, and his arm strength is also very strong, and he almost used all his strength to kick just now, and the other party was able to catch it.
Ya, is the martial arts sect on holiday, where did so many masters come from!
Yunkang sighed in his heart, saying that the dragon and crouching tiger in the city are a hidden place, and it is indeed true. He looked the person in front of him up and down, and saw that he was young, thin, wearing a mask on his face, and his eyes were very cold and sharp.
This martial artist in the late stage of the Yellow Order is indeed very awesome, but it seems to be very familiar.
Yun Kang glanced at it twice, and finally recognized the person in front of him. He relaxed his pace, turned the flashlight with one hand, and said, "I thought that another late stage of the Yellow Order came out of nowhere, it turned out to be you kid." Shen Duo, I guessed correctly. β
His divine sense swept over unceremoniously, only to see that behind the mask was a stern iceberg face, which was none other than Shen Duo, who was secretive.
Shen Duo was silent for a moment, then pulled the mask down, revealing a very characteristic poker face. He didn't greet Yun Kang politely, and said straight to the point: "I lured you out of the task force because I encountered a troublesome matter and wanted to find you to cooperate." β
When he spoke, his eyes were blazing, very cold, and he stared at Yunkang uncomfortable.
"Why should I work with you, you name a reason." Yunkang didn't agree immediately, and said casually.
He didn't know what the identity of this surnamed Shen was, what was the purpose of coming to Wufeng Mountain, and whether he had any ill will towards him. And the two don't have much contact, and the relationship is not enough to trust Cheng DΓΉ, so you have to be cautious.
When the two armies clashed, knowing oneself and knowing the other was the most crucial, and it was still impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and both sides had reservations.
The corners of Shen Duo's mouth tightened, and he said in a cold voice: "You have opened the Witch Spirit King's talisman array, if you don't cooperate with me, you will only invite great disaster." The Witch Spirit King is the guardian of our Witch Gate, and he casts the Talisman Array Plate, which is a treasure-hunting magic weapon, and how many people in the world covet this thing. It's useless for you to just have a array, you must match the treasure map, otherwise you will definitely not find the treasure. Now that you have the array disk, I have the treasure map, and we happen to work together. β
Yun Kang was skeptical of his words, and listened to Shen Duo's meaning, the Fu Gong Array Disk was a treasure hunting weapon, but it also needed a treasure map, and the two cooperated with each other to find the treasure.
He joked: "I have a array, you have a treasure map, let's work together to mix and match, the combination style is quite alternative, it's almost the same as the treasure hunting duo." β
Shen Duo didn't speak, and looked at him coldly, obviously thinking that his joke was very boring.
Yun Kang was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said, "Let the two of them go in advance, you are a member of the Witch Sect, and the Witch Spirit King is your guardian?" β
Shen Duo nodded, which was an affirmative answer, but he still didn't speak.
Yunkang also thinks it's boring, under normal circumstances, people with a very cold personality have a high laughing point, if you joke with him for a long time, people won't dump you at all, you can only giggle by yourself, it's too boring.
But the name of the Witch Spirit King made his heart move, there was a copy of "Lingbao Tuluo" in the Dragon Swallowing Ring, which seemed to be left by the Witch Spirit King, and there were hundreds of treasure maps drawn in the book.
Yun Kang's mind turned, I have both the talisman array disk and the treasure map in my hand, I can find treasures with these two things, why should I cooperate with Shen Duo.
But he didn't know anything about the treasure, and if the information Shen Duo had was useful, it wouldn't hurt to cooperate with him once.
Yun Kang asked him sideways: "This is the secret room of Taoist cultivation, what treasures can be hidden, it is nothing more than some expired pills." The old Taoist priests were very poor, so it was impossible for them to hide a bunch of gold and silver treasures. β
In fact, Yun Kang was not interested in anything like gold, silver, money, etc., if he really hid this thing, he didn't have to bother digging for treasure at all. Thinking about it, there were seven boxes of things in the Dragon Swallowing Ring, and there were not a few gold and silver jewelry, and he didn't bother to take a look.
Shen Duo frowned and said: "This was originally the place where the Jindan sect practiced alchemy, but later the Dan room was deserted, and it was regarded as a secret place to store treasures by the treasure collectors of all dynasties. As for whether you can find the treasure or not, it depends on luck and creation. I have only one condition, if I find something left by the Witch King, I will take it away, and the rest of the treasures will be yours. β
Before they started to act, the two of them were already planning to start sharing the spoils. Yun Kang was very unimpressed, Shen Duo's idea was too naΓ―ve, thinking that this underground secret room was his cellar, and he could take whatever he wanted.
There were several groups of treasure grabbers coming to Wufeng Mountain, and there were also task forces coming to arrest the warriors, and the scene would definitely be chaotic at that time. Coupled with the secret room of the gods and the strange formation, even if you try your best to deal with all of this, in the end, you may not even be able to see a single treasure hair.
These words were not said in his heart, Yun Kang's eyes flashed, and he asked, "It turns out that the Witch Spirit King is a treasure collector?" β
There are all kinds of industries in the world, and the out-of-the-way professions are even more bizarre, among which there is a person who is very paranoid and is keen on hiding treasures, and is a professional "treasure collector".
This kind of life loves to hide treasures, and takes treasure hiding as fun, and after hiding the treasures in person, he deliberately draws a treasure map, scatters it around, and leaves clues for guessing riddles, leading everyone to go treasure hunting. If anyone can find it, the treasure will belong to whoever owns it.
Professional "treasure collectors" generally have special skills, they are not only good at treasure hiding, but also proficient in the art of treasure hunting.
Because of their treasure hiding profession, most of them are well-informed, think highly of themselves, and regard money as dung. When the money is spent, they go treasure hunting and digging, anyway, the hidden treasures in the world are in their hands.
They keep all the treasure spots as their safes, ready to go.
Therefore, treasure collectors think they are extraordinary, there is a sense of destiny, they are generous and bold in life, spend lavishly, and do not keep a penny of wealth after death, only leaving clues to future generations to find the treasure map, so that future generations can find the inheritance.
As for whether future generations can find it, it depends on whether there is fate with the treasure.
However, the level of these treasure collectors is too high, and the treasure maps they draw often become secret words in the sky, and it is difficult for future generations to find clues.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and generations of explorers and treasure hunters around the world have not been able to solve most of the mysteries of the treasure map.
In ancient times, there were some famous treasure hunting incidents, most of which were related to professional treasure collectors, who participated in plotting, hiding treasures, and drawing treasure maps.
For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the wealthy Zeng family, in order to avoid their property being looted by bandits, hid all the gold and silver treasures, and then carved the treasure map on the wall of their home. Although the wall is still in place and the treasure map is clearly drawn, no one can understand the mystery and find the location of the treasure.
"The treasures hidden by the Witch Spirit King are related to the revival of the Witch Gate, so this treasure hunt is bound to be obtained." Shen Duo's voice was cold, and his tone was very resolute.
Yun Kang secretly thought that the secret room under the Xianweng Cave was the alchemy room of the Jindan Sect, and the secret formation was laid out, which was indeed very suitable for hiding treasures. And the Witch Spirit King sounds very powerful, and the treasure he hides should be a good thing.
He originally planned to help Ge Fengdu rescue the distressed task force, and then quietly escaped and went on a treasure hunt alone.
But the plan is not as fast as the change, the strength of the task force is too weak, and the underground passage is mysterious and weird, he is not willing to take people in to die.
So Yunkang asked Ge Fengdu to return to his original place, and when the support team came, he organized an elite team and then restarted the rescue plan.
He secretly estimated that it would take at least three or four hours to wait for the task force's support team to arrive. He and Shen Duo cooperated in a treasure hunt, and with the strength of the two of them, three or four hours was enough to find the treasure.
As for the ability to successfully snatch the treasure in the end, it really depends on luck.
Yun Kang groaned for a moment and promised, "Okay, I can cooperate with you." But I'm not very familiar with the purpose of the talisman array, and I can't guarantee if I can find a treasure. β
He said these words to take a precautionary shot first, in case the treasure of the Witch Spirit King is a magic weapon for cultivating immortals, then he will be embarrassed, he will definitely not keep the same, and he will swallow it all himself.
Shen Duo didn't know what Yun Kang was doing in his heart, nodded his head, and said, "I have a map in my hand, and I have a great chance of finding the treasure." It's just a troublesome thing that needs to be cooperated with you. β
