Chapter 217 The Concealing Magic Field
In the thorny forest, walking was not much slower than driving Hummers. Besides, the march was very smooth and they did not run into monsters such as the Hell Soul Devouring Ant. It was about noon time when they arrived at destination marked on the map.
It was at the foot of a mountain. The peak towered into the clouds, surrounded by clouds. It made people feel that the monsters described in ”Journey to the West” would come.
”Here we are. Let's have a rest.”
Hu Xiaoxian said and pulled Qin Haodong to sit down on a clean big stone. Other people also sat down to restore the bodies' vigor.
Qin Haodong looked at the mountain in front of him. It gave him a feeling of Spiritual Qi's fluctuation. So the destination seemed to be right here.
Lei Tianrui said to Hu Xiaoxian, ”What we are doing this time is carrying out the task of our departments. Now that we have reached our destination, it is not appropriate to take an outsider with us?”
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Who is an outsider? Without Haodong, we would all be dead now. Why can't we take him with us? Are you afraid that he would rob us?”
”This...” Seeing Hu Xiaoxian insisting, Lei Tianrui finally said, ”Well, it's ok to take him with us, but there are some things I want to tell him first.”
He turned his head to Qin Haodong and said, ”I know you have some abilities, but our goal is very special. You can't just rely on your own abilities. You have to rely on us to get in.”
Qin Haodong just smiled and said nothing more.
Lei Tianrui continued to say, ”Because of this, no matter what kind of treasures we will find, you must let us select them first.”
”But you can rest assured that, according to the information we have, the treasures here are enormous, and you will be benefited a lot at that time too.”
Qin Haodong said, ”I understand you. You mean we should distribute what we will find according to one's ability and contribution. Am I right?”
”You're right. It's fairest to distribute treasures according to our abilities!”
Lei Tianrui nodded as he spoke. He was very satisfied with Qin Haodong's attitude.
After a pause, he added. ”In fact, you don't have to feel aggrieved. Although your medical skills are very good, now they're useless at all. You need the help of our special abilities.”
”In this mission in Shennongjia, all members were carefully selected. Xiaoxian and I are masters in the realm of Covert Power. Zhao Qiankun is master of formation. Wang Yuancheng is an animal tamer. Xie Zidan is proficient in machines and traps. Dong Sihai is a jungle expert.”
”For example, at present, the door of the treasure has been concealed by the formation. Ordinary people could not see where the gate is. If they want to enter the gate, they must rely on the ability of Zhao Qiankun.”
Qin Haodong looked at Zhao Qiankun and said, ”So, he knows formations?”
”It's more than understanding!” Since they were talking about the formation, Zhao Qiankun could keep his back straight. He was disgraced in front of Qin Haodong again and again along the way. Now he could be bold and elated.
”Our Zhao family is a family holding high official positions for generations in formation. I began to learn it from the age of three. At the age of 10, I had a Small Completion. When I am 20, I became a master of formation and unprecedented genius. There is no formation that I can't crack.”
After he finished his boast, he saw that Qin Haodong did not show his reaction. He thought Qin Haodong did not understand the formation. He said, ”No wonder you don't understand it. Ordinary people can't meet the magic field once in their lifetime. Today I'll give you a brief introduction to the formation.
”Generally speaking, there are four kinds of formations: Concealing Magic Field, Phantom Magic Field, Trap Magic Field and killing formation. This is a Concealing Magic Field in front of us. There must be other formations behind it. The reason why this treasure has not been excavated is that it is protected by the Concealing Magic Field.”
Dong Sihai said, ”Formation is really amazing. The gate is right in front of us, but we can't see anything. It seems that we will rely on you this time, Qiankun.”
He had the best relationship with Zhao Qiankun. After that, he cast a provocative glance at Qin Haodong and said to himself, ”Aren't you skillful? You can beat the Devilish Five, you have the Huangquan Grass leaves that can restrain the Hell Soul Devouring Ant. But so what? Since you want to get in now, you need rely on my brother.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, ”In this case, I'll wait to see the means of the talent of formation.”
”No problem. You'll see,” Zhao Qiankun said. Then he came to the foot of the mountain with great pride and began to investigate the Concealing Magic Field in front of him. Others did not understand the formation and were curious to watch him.
After an hour, Zhao Qiankun had wandered at the foot of the mountain for more than a dozen times. His proud expression began to disappear. On the contrary, sweat appeared on his forehead.
”Papa, it's too slow. I am so boring!”
The little fellow was very puzzled and bored by Zhao Qiankun's walking behavior.
Qin Haodong said, ”My daughter can't wait anymore. Genius of the formation, when can we see the gate?”
Zhao Qiankun said sadly, ”What do you know? This one is an Upper Level formation of Human Scale, which can't be crack casually.”
Lei Tianrui asked, ”Is this Upper Level formation of Human Scale very powerful?”
Zhao Qiankun said, ”The formation also has rank, which is equivalent to the rank of the warrior. From high to low, it can be divided into the formation of the Heaven Scale, the formation of the Earth Scale and the formation of Human Scale. Each scale of the formation has upper, middle and lower levels. The lower level is the least powerful one and it's easy to crack it, while the upper one is the most difficult.”
Lei Tianrui nodded and said, ”Oh! Well, it's so difficult. No wonder it’s so hard for you to crack it! ”
