Chapter 2386: Chapter 2377, the origin of the crystal
Translator: 549690339
The distance of 2,000 miles was not close, but it could not withstand the speed of Jiang Fei’s sword. Therefore, after less than half a day, he brought little nine to eagle sorrow crevice.
The terrain of eagle sorrow crevice was very unique. It was surrounded by tall mountains, but the area within a radius of more than ten miles suddenly caved in. There were narrow paths on both sides of the crevice. It was very dangerous. Moreover, in the middle of the crevice.., there was a pool of clear spring water. The water was extremely clear. From the sky, it looked like a mirror.
Sometimes, when the eagle flew above the lake and saw the reflection below, it would mistake it for a companion. It would then want to fly down and meet up with its companion. In the end, it would dive into the lake and drown. That was why it was called Eagle Sorrow Crevice.
Of course, the origin of the name was only a legend. Jiang Fei was not that stupid bird. Even if he saw his reflection in the lake, he would not dive into the water.
“We’re Here!”Jiang Fei put away his chengying sword and landed with little nine.
“Brother! Over There! There’s so much delicious food!”As soon as they landed in Eagle Creek, little nine started running.
“Slow down, little nine. No one is fighting with you!”Jiang Fei shouted with a smile. However, he quickly realized that he had said it too early. There was really someone here who was fighting with little nine for the treasures.
“Hey! These are all mine! Don’t you dare move!”From Afar, Jiang Fei could hear little nine shouting very aggressively. However, his childish voice sounded cute and did not have any deterrent effect.
“Eh? Little Guy, why are you here?”A crisp female voice was heard. Jiang Fei had just arrived at this time. This girl was none other than Hong Yun, whom he had saved previously.
“Hehe, we are really fated!”Jiang Fei laughed.
“Senior, why are you here?”Hong Yun asked curiously.
“There are some things that little jiu likes here,”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“Are these the stones?”Hong Yun said as she pointed at a pile of pebbles nearby. These pebbles were obviously brought up from the bottom of the lake by something.
“Yes!”Jiang Fei did not hide anything.
“Senior, do you need a lot of them?”Asked Hong Yun.
“I think so,”said Jiang Fei. Of course, the more spatial crystals he had, the better. As long as he had enough spatial energy to replenish himself, little nine could easily summon the rest of the illusion stones back.
“If that’s the case… can I take two of them, senior?”Asked Hong Yun.
“What do you want these for?”Jiang Fei asked.
“To complete a quest.”Hong Yun was a rogue cultivator. Without the help of her family, she could only become a bounty hunter in order to obtain cultivation resources.
“Is the reward very high?”Jiang Fei asked.
“Ten Crystals,”Hong Yun said. This price was much higher than what Jiang Fei had bought. However, it was not surprising. Jiang Fei had seen it on the side of the road and bought it. The other party had specifically asked for this item and hired someone to get it, of course, the price was different.
“I’ll give you twenty wood crystals. Don’t do this quest anymore,”said Jiang Fei.
“This…”Hong Yun hesitated. If she gave up on this quest, her reward points would be lost. The loss would not only be a few crystals.
Jiang Fei had never been a bounty hunter before, so he did not know the rules. He thought that a double price was enough to make Hong Yun give up on the quest.
At that moment, Hong Yun was also very conflicted. If it was purely based on profit, she would never give up on the quest. However, Jiang Fei had saved her life before. Moreover, he was many times stronger than her, if she did not know when to retreat, not only would she fail the quest today, she might even lose her life.
“What’s wrong? Is this quest very important to you? Do you have to complete it?”Jiang Fei asked curiously.
“Yes! If the quest fails, the quest points will be deducted,”Hong Yun said truthfully.
“Alright then. Take two and leave.”Jiang Fei nodded. Little Nine had already eaten two stones, but the effect was not very good. It could be seen that the energy contained in these crystals was not particularly high, therefore, losing two stones was not a big deal.
“Thank you, Senior!”After Hong Yun picked up the two stones, she turned around and left.
“Little Nine, let’s begin!”Jiang Fei said to little nine when he saw Hong Yun leave.
“Yay!”Little nine cried out and began to peel the stones.
“Awoo!”
“Awoo…”
This time, little nine finally had a good time. The sh.o.r.e of the small lake was filled with these stones. Although each of the crystals did not contain much spatial energy, they could not withstand the large amount, therefore, little nine was soon full.
“Big Brother, I’m going to sleep!”Little Nine said to Jiang Fei.
“Okay!”Jiang Fei brought little nine out of the cliff of the valley. Then, he waved his hand and blew up a cave. Then, he took out another bed from the spatial ring and placed it in the cave.
“Go to sleep,”Jiang Fei said to little nine.
“Okay! Good night, Big Brother!”Little nine obediently laid on the bed. After eating his fill, he quickly fell asleep.
“Swoos.h.!.+”Jiang Fei raised his hand and set up a barrier. At the same time, he could also hide Little Nine’s aura.
After little nine fell asleep, Jiang Fei used his spiritual power to scan the entire valley. This valley was indeed very strange. First of all, there were no living creatures in this valley. Not to mention ferocious beasts, even snakes, insects, rats, and ants did not exist!
Moreover, the small lake was also very strange. It could actually block Jiang Fei’s spiritual power. Whenever Jiang Fei’s spiritual power spread into the small lake.., there was a gentle force that guided Jiang Fei’s spiritual power to another place.
“This is really strange!”Jiang Fei sat in front of the small lake in a daze.
The sky gradually darkened. A bright moon rose into the sky. It was a full 15-month night. The clear moonlight shone on the surface of the lake. The scenery was very beautiful.
“Splash…”at that moment, a wave rose from the surface of the water. Jiang Fei quickly turned around and hid behind a bush. At the same time, he hid his aura.
“Splash…”another wave rose. Soon after, something that looked like a starfish floated up. This thing was not quite like an ordinary starfish. It was more than a meter long, and its entire body was covered in a hard stone sh.e.l.l, in the middle of it was a gemstone that was s.h.i.+ning with silver light.
After this thing appeared, it began to absorb the essence of the moonlight and then began to breathe.
Soon, the moon tilted to the west, and the moonlight gradually dimmed. At this time, the strange starfish rode the wind and came to the sh.o.r.e.
“Clack…”the gemstone on the starfish’s chest rolled down. Along the way, it was wrapped in a layer of stone armor. A brand new gemstone grew out from the center of the starfish.
“D * MN! So that’s how the gemstones came about!”Jiang Fei was surprised. He had thought that these gemstones were minerals. He did not expect that these things were actually a strange “Excrement”of starfish after training..
