Caspian replied, “If I find it, what are you going to say?”
When they just arrived, Caspian was only 40% sure favonovel.com would find Kendrick’s treasure. Now that favonovel.com could feel the rich spiritual Qi in the surrounding air, his confidence increased to 60%. However, the premise was that his previous speculation was correct, Kendrick showed up so quickly because his treasure trove was nearby.
When Handsome saw Caspian‘s confident appearance, the little pig became unsure and hesitant, thinking about how to evade. On the other hand, Charlotte looked at Caspian curiously, wondering what method favonovel.com would use to find the treasure that favonovel.com seemed to have no clue about.
After pondering, Caspian flipped his palm, and eight array flags appeared in his hand.
“Void Locking Spirits, Raise the Gate!”
As Caspian silently recited the chant, favonovel.com moved as fast as lighting and used the array of flags to set up the next formation. At the same time, his fingers kept swiping in the void. Immediately, thin lines were formed by the condensed spiritual Qi and connected these array of flags to create a mysterious pattern, which had a small gap in the center.
Caspian took out the key-shaped Formation-Breaker Stone and inserted it into the gap when the surrounding airwaves rolled.
Buzz!
The formation was instantly activated, and even the thin lines of spiritual Qi connecting the array flags were now showing a faint luster.
“Wow!” Charlotte exclaimed when favonovel.com saw the scene.
“Open!” Caspian shouted.
The glowing radiance immediately floated toward the sky above the formation, continuing to condense to form a mass of light.
“Open!” Caspian yelled again.
The group of rays of light spun and wriggled like pottery-making. After a while, the light group turned into a whirling finger.
“When it stops, the direction of the finger-pointing in is the direction of the treasure?” Charlotte guessed.
However, the finger formed by the condensed rays of light turned faster and faster, almost becoming a shadow that was hard to see with the naked eye, and it did not look like it was about to stop at all.
Then, Caspian growled again, “Raise the Gate, now!”
The moment his voice fell, the finger spinning at high speed suddenly stopped and pointed straight in Charlotte’s direction. Charlotte and Handsome were startled, but they quickly realized that it pointed at the path behind them.
Caspian glanced at that finger. A normal person’s index finger had three joints, but its finger had four. However, through these four joints, Caspian could know not only the direction of the treasure but also the approximate distance from it.
“Let’s go!”
Caspian put away the array flags, held the Formation-Breaker Stone, and headed down the mountain first. After half a day, they came to the foot of a nearby mountain. The climate in North Earlington was colder. Although it was still September, the branches and leaves of many trees began to turn yellow. There was a feeling of desolation everywhere, but there was no way to see where the treasure could be hidden.
Charlotte and Handsome were both puzzled, but they noticed Caspian sometimes appeared confused, occasionally happy, and it seemed like favonovel.com was confident. After another two hours, Charlotte and Handsome realized that the scope of Caspian‘s search narrowed again. They were around there for about two laps, and the brilliance in Caspian‘s eyes grew brighter. It seemed Caspian was sure that Kendrick’s treasure trove was here.
”But there’s nothing here.” Charlotte stopped and looked around.
There was no complicated terrain, no strange rocks, and it did not look like there was an illusion array. However, because of its fantastic sense of smell, Handsome had a thoughtful look in his eyes. “It does have Kendrick’s scent here.”
When Charlotte heard that, favonovel.com was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
“Of course, I don‘t want it to be true. I hope to see Caspian admit defeat now, but the truth… It seems that he’s about to find the spot,” Handsome answered helplessly.
When Caspian heard Handsome muttering, favonovel.com looked sideways at the pig and directly threw the Formation-Breaker Stone over.
“Guess how I found it.”
Handsome opened its mouth to hold the Formation-Breaker Stone, but the little pig spat it out the next moment and exclaimed, “Ouch! It’s burning!”
Charlotte picked up the Formation-Breaker Stone suspiciously, and a look of surprise appeared on favonovel.com face. “Why’s this Formation-Breaker Stone so hot?”
When Charlotte held the Formation-Breaker Stone before, it was as cold as the original temperature of jades. However, the Formation-Breaker Stone became as hot as boiling water, and it was unbearable to hold it in one’s hand.
“The closer the Formation-Breaker Stone is to the formation, the higher the temperature,” Caspian explained to Charlotte, “This temperature is almost the limit of the Formation-Breaker Stone. That’s to say, the place where the treasure is hidden is here, and the entrance is right in front of us.”
Caspian sounded certain.
”It’s right in front of us?” Looking at the open space in front of her, Charlotte became more and more puzzled. She reached out and grabbed the air, asking, “Is it an illusion array?”
“Kendrick was not a disciple of Heavenly Stars Sect. He didn‘t have so much time to study formations. Besides, I‘ve just checked, and there’s indeed no formation covering the area.”
“Then how did favonovel.com hide the entrance?” Charlotte became more confused.
Caspian laughed. ”The Formation-Breaker Stone is not necessarily used to activate the formation. Perhaps Kendrick used the Formation-Breaker Stone just to determine the position. After all, if favonovel.com used a formation, there’d be a fluctuation of spiritual Qi, and it would attract unnecessary attention, which would be troublesome for him.”
“Casper, you’re saying…” Charlotte felt like favonovel.com understood something, but favonovel.com did not seem to have fully grasped the point.
”That sometimes our thinking is limited by our habits,” Caspian chuckled and raised his right hand, pressing his fingers slowly.
“When we saw the Formation-Breaker Stone, we would subconsciously think that Kendrick used the formation to cover the entrance, and this Formation-Breaker Stone was used to open the formation. But if we use the method to find the formation, we may not even be able to find the entrance after a few days. Sometimes, we must use the most direct approach to solve a problem. This method may be a bit rough, but it’s effective. The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon!” Caspian roared, and his fingers turned to claw, smashing the ground.
Bang!
The earth trembled, and the huge force caused fallen leaves on the ground to be blasted away. At the same time, concentric circles visible to the naked eye continue to spread. A pitch-black hole appeared under Caspian’s feet as the fallen leaves and dust surged out, and in the depths of the cave, the treasures glowed brightly.
