Chapter 4: The Search for the Lost Treasure (Part I)

"Did you get through to Leader Chen's call?" asked the commander in a military uniform in a deep voice.

The adjutant next to him stepped forward and saluted: "Report to the chief, Chief Chen is still not as reluctant to carry a phone with him as before." But I've already sent someone to inform you, and in about twenty minutes, the Leader will be here!"

"Twenty minutes...... The commander looked at the figure in the pit restlessly, suddenly rushed to the wall, grabbed the rocket launcher in the hands of a soldier, and shot into the pit himself: "No matter what, you must hold out until the leader arrives!

"Alas, the chief has said many times before that hot weapons are useless, and I don't believe it much. Now, finally let me fucking see it!" He muttered to himself with a dark face, only feeling that the modern weapons in his hands and the soldiers around him could not bring any sense of security!

Twenty minutes later, the ammunition reserves of the Institute's own escorts were finally depleted.

The huge crater in front of the research institute was already more than 20 meters deep at this time, and it looked as dark and deep as a tunnel.

"How's ......that? Is it dead?" the commander put down the rocket launcher, only to feel a burning pain in his shoulder. But now he didn't have time to care about these small problems, so he quickly took the infrared glasses from the adjutant next to him and put them on, and looked into the cave.

At the point of the deep pit, a slender but slightly thin figure still stood straight. Infrared light could not see the specific situation, but the thermal imaging technology made the commander understand that his limbs and physical condition were completely normal!

"God, what kind of master is this!" He gasped and gave the order to retreat.

It wasn't until all the soldiers had retreated into the inconspicuous three-story building of the institute that the trees rose lightly from the bottom of the pit. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to hurt anyone - even if these people were trying to control themselves and die in every possible way.

He shook the dust off his head and continued to walk through the door as if nothing had happened.

When passing by, the iron gate suddenly opened a power grid of tens of thousands of volts. Lin Shu's body only trembled slightly, and he still crossed the power grid unharmed, and walked directly into the courtyard of the research institute, stopping in front of the three-story building, looking for the source of the red light.

"Found it!" his eyes froze, and he finally froze in a small windowless room on the third floor. The source of the red light could not be found, but it came from this place that seemed to be non-existent.

Lin Shu jumped to his feet, flew parallel to the height of the room, and punched the wall hard.

After the lime and reinforced concrete flew away, there was a white alloy wall inside. It seemed to be very strong, but it was still under the fist of Lin Shu's original speed, and a big hole was broken. The room filled with crimson light, and soon burst out.

Lin Shu clearly felt that something in the room had been connected to the crystal in his brain.

Before he could find the light source, a boxed object in a square shape flew towards him at twice the speed of sound. Lin Shu flickered slightly, but the box turned a corner, and automatically fell into his palm as if it was alive. And the dazzling red light was all gone.

Lying in the palm of his hand was a crystal cube that was completely transparent. It seemed to be empty, and it seemed to flow with extremely powerful energy, the same as the power in Lin Shu's body at the moment - he was completely sure that this was Bupa's thing!

"Hey, is this the thing?" Lin Shu tentatively called out to Bupa in his head, but received no response.

At this time, several extremely fast figures suddenly flew over from the surrounding tall buildings, and soon came to Lin Shu, surrounding him in the middle - there were five people in total, three old men, a man and a woman, and two young people.

"Young man, put down what you are holding, we will not do anything to pursue it. One of the old men stared at him and said in a deep voice.

Despite being in a hostile position, the old man, who was apparently the head of the five, still seemed very kind.

Lin Shu looked up at the five of them, and smiled kindly: "I'm sorry, but I have to take this thing away, it's not yours!"

The other two old men laughed angrily: "What a doll, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you reach the 'Fighting God' level! That thing is a treasure that fell from the sky, and whoever falls into it will be whoever! Put it down immediately, otherwise don't blame us old guys for being polite!"

With the majesty of his words, a layer of golden "flames" appeared on the bodies of the five people almost at the same time. The overwhelming momentum emanated from these people, blowing the rubble all over the ground and the iron gate not far away, and even the clouds in the sky kept tumbling as a result.

The sea breeze suddenly became stronger, and the sound of the waves around the island reached everyone's ears.

It's so strong! Even the principal of Tahe Academy doesn't have such a strong sense of aura! Even the "Divine Punishment Hand," which ranked fourth on the "Fighting God List" at the beginning, can't compare with this kind of momentum! Could it be that they have already reached a strength that surpasses the "Fighting God" level?

Lin Shu's eyes showed excitement, and he suddenly gave up his plan to escape from the air. He wanted to try to see how far he could go between himself and the strongest warriors in the human race—of course, to what extent they could push themselves.

As soon as he raised his hand, he threw the crystal box to the young woman, and then stared at the leading old man tentatively: "Since everyone doesn't want to let go, let's fight! I'll fight against the five of you alone, and if I win, I'll take what I win, and if I lose, I'll let you dispose of it!"

These words were so arrogant that even the kind old man who led the way was enraged.

But he stared at Lin Shu for a while, and then looked back at the big hole at the entrance of the research institute, but he still didn't see the depth of Lin Shu after all. According to experience, those who can keep their bodies intact under the blow of such a hot weapon, and can float in the air for a long time, should naturally be a master at the "God of Fighting" level. But in the ordinary-looking young man in front of him, he didn't feel any internal qi!

(Could it be...... Has this doll reached the realm of introverted spirit and become a "peerless fighting god"?

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but take a deep breath, and bowed his hand and said, "Since Your Excellency insists, then let's see the real chapter under our hands! Fighting here will cause too much damage, can you follow us to the East China Sea to compete?"

As soon as his words fell, the other four shouted in disbelief: "Leader!?"

"I can pinch this kind of doll to death alone, with Lao Tzu approaching the level of 'peerless fighting god', and I want to deal with him with you?"

"Chief, aren't you weakening the prestige of my Donghai regime in this way?

Lin Shu just smiled lightly and nodded to them, and then took the lead in flying in the direction pointed by the old man.

Under the full operation of the Wind Manipulation Technique, his figure flashed away in the eyes of the five people!

"Have you said enough?" The old man pointed to his vague figure and said in a deep voice: "You see, this speed alone is already above me, do you dare to underestimate him? And this young man's aura is very strange, and even I can't see any clues! If you continue to take this kind of rash attitude in today's battle, I'm afraid we will lose!"

The rest of the people all had a shocked glint of disbelief in their eyes, but out of extreme trust in the old man, they still nodded.

"Okay, let him see how powerful our East China Sea Big Five are! Let us surpass the strength of the 'Fighting God' level and exert our might!"

The five figures quickly followed the direction of the forest tree's disappearance, not as fast as the former, but it was also amazing enough!
