Chapter 698 It’s The First Time He Had Just gotten the Heaven Treasure So Easily

Late at night, there was dead silence in the Geirangerfjorden.

Although there were many tourists, this area would still return to its normal state in the middle of the night.

“Swish.”

Under the moonlight, a figure flitted across the bay.

It looked like a dragonfly skimming over the surface of the water across the bay.

This person was none other than Fang Qiu!

Along the way, he stepped on the water like a ghost and reached the middle of the bay.

“Pa!”

The internal Qi in his body surged as he trod on the water. With the help of the rebound force, his body instantly flew up and rose to a height of hundreds of meters.

Then, with a twist of his body, Fang Qiu headed straight to the top of a snow-capped mountain not far away, like a gust of wind.

At this time,

“Screech…”

An earth-shattering cry suddenly sounded, echoing across the whole bay for a long time.

“Hmm?”

Although he was still some distance away from the snow-capped mountain. Fang Qiu could clearly hear the earth-shattering cry coming from the top of the mountain.

He took a closer look but could not see anything.

“A guardian beast?”

Confused, Fang Qiu took another look and immediately saw something strange.

There seemed to be something on the top of the snow-capped mountain. There were some black spots on its snow-capped surface, which looked like stones protruding from the snow.

He moved closer and took a look.

Fang Qiu was stunned.

“Eagle?” When Fang Qiu arrived at the mountain, he finally saw the creature at the top of the mountain.

It was an incomparably huge eagle, even bigger than the divine eagle on TV. It was about two meters high and its golden eyes looked unusually scary.

Of course, Fang Qiu was not stupid.

After all, he was a college student. When he first saw this kind of animal, he already knew that it was a Snow Owl.

The Snow Owl was a large owl. Its head was round and small with an inconspicuous face. It had no ear feathers. Its irises were golden in color. Its mouth was lead gray and its claws were black in color. The Snow Owl was entirely white and some parts of its body were covered with dark spots.

Although the Snow Owl was large compared with other owls, this one in front of him was too big. It was also because it was so enormous that Fang Qiu was very surprised when he saw it.

“Screech!!!”

It seemed that it had spotted Fang Qiu for some time already. When Fang Qiu was about to approach the snow-capped mountain, the giant Snow Owl suddenly turned around and flapped its wings. It opened its mouth wide and screeched at Fang Qiu.

“Oh, you’re quite smart.” Fang Qiu smiled.

He knew that this giant Snow Owl should have been watching him for a long time already when he had just soared into the sky from the bay.

At that time, the Snow Owl let out a cry and tried to scare away Fang Qiu.

But it did not achieve the effect it wanted.

In the end, the giant Snow Owl simply used its body as a cover to block the Tianling Crystal on the top of the snowy mountain, to prevent him from getting through to it.

Unfortunately, it did not know that Fang Qiu had been there before. Even if it blocked the Tianling Crystal, Fang Qiu could still locate its whereabouts.

But now, seeing Fang Qiu approaching, the giant owl knew that it could not hide it anymore, so it simply turned around and tried to frighten Fang Qiu with its loud cries.

If it had been any other sixth-class martial arts practitioners, they would definitely turn around and run away without hesitation.

Unfortunately, this sixth-class martial arts practitioner was Fang Qiu!

In the face of the cry of the giant owl, Fang Qiu smiled slightly and walked forward slowly, without showing any signs of being nervous at all.

He knew that there were still a few minutes left before the Tianling Crystal ripened, so he had to drive the Snow Owl away within a few minutes.

“Tssssssssss”

The giant owl became anxious. Its efforts to scare Fang Qi was useless, no matter how hard it tried.

“Crash.”

As its wings flapped, the giant owl immediately jumped into the air and stared at Fang Qiu, showing its sharp claws!

“It’s a pity that I have to hurry back to Huaxia. Otherwise, I would really like to live in this mountain for a while and make friends with you.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and chuckled.

The Snow Owl could not hold it in any longer.

“Screech.”

With a loud cry, its body, which was hovering in the air, suddenly turned around and rushed toward Fang Qiu at an extremely fast speed, like a flying needle.

“Swish!”

The sound of the wind rushing by could be heard.

The moment the giant owl rushed at him, Fang Qiu vanished into thin air.

The owl suddenly came to a halt when it missed its target.

It turned around and tried to find Fang Qiu, but it discovered that Fang Qiu was not at the top of the snow-capped mountain.

At this time.

“Swish.”

A falling sound was heard.

The giant owl suddenly raised its head.

Fang Qiu actually fell from the higher spot and made a posture of riding a horse, as if he wanted to catch the giant owl and use it as a mount.

“Screech!”

With a screech, the Snow Owl flapped its wings and immediately rushed toward Fang Qiu who was falling from the sky. Its sharp beak, which was almost covered by all its fur, was totally exposed by the strength of the airflow and looked like a sharp hook.

If Fang Qiu was pecked, one of his legs would be broken, given his small figure!

“Good boy.”

Looking at the giant owl rushing toward him again, Fang Qiu praised, “It’s really worthy of being a natural warrior!”

Although he said so, his moves were merciless.

The moment the giant owl charged in front of him, Fang Qiu suddenly thrust his right hand out and directly hit the head of the giant owl.

Fang Qiu did not use much strength in this slap.

He was afraid that he would accidentally kill the Snow Owl.

After all, this owl was a very clever creature. Since it could grow to such an extent, it was very likely that it would have spiritual intelligence in the future. It was better not to kill this kind of wondrous creature.

After slapping the owl’s head to the side, Fang Qiu took the opportunity to turn around and directly sat down on the owl’s body. He really regarded the owl as his mount.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

How could the giant owl bear this kind of humiliation when it was being mounted by Fang Qiu? It immediately struggled madly and flew up to the sky with Fang Qiu.

“Stop fooling around.”

Fang Qiu slapped the Snow Owl’s head and said angrily, “Don’t disturb my view of the scenery.”

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The giant owl continued to struggle and screech.

“Pa!”

With a wave of his hand, Fang Qiu gave the giant owl another merciless slap on its head.

He repeated this again and again.

After a few slaps, the giant owl became dizzy and dropped from the sky.

Fang Qiu quickly dismounted from the owl’s back when he saw that and rushed to the top of the snow-capped mountain.

But just as Fang Qiu was about to leave, the dazed giant owl suddenly flew up into the sky and stared at Fang Qiu from a distance. It was so furious that it screeched out loud, but it did not dare to approach Fang Qiu.

“Hehe.”

Fang Qiu’s interest was aroused. He shifted and was about to chase after it.

As soon as he moved, the giant owl appeared to be overly nervous and it flew into the distance with a whoosh.

“Bye-bye.” Fang Qiu waved his hand with a big smile.

When the giant owl turned its head, it happened to see that the Tianling Crystal was ripe and Fang Qiu was about to pick it.

Helplessly, it could only let out a long cry and quickly flew away.

It was afraid that Fang Qiu would catch up with it and hit it on the head again.

After driving the giant owl away, Fang Qiu immediately felt the Heaven and Earth energy around him suddenly began to surge wildly. He turned his head to have a look.

In front of him, in the fist-sized cave, the transparent plant had begun to slowly liquefy. The rhomboid Tianling Crystal hanging on the top of the plant, like a piece of glass craftwork, was emitting a very unique light, which looked like a black hole.

The Tianling Crystal was only the size of a thumb and was shaped like a rhombus. There was a small circle that seemed to be white but was actually black in color. It emitted a special light, which made people feel that it was like a small black hole at first glance.

“Tianling Crystal, it’s made of crystal fruit. It only grows for one hour. Even the fruit will be liquefied in an hour.”

He squatted.

As Fang Qiu reached out to pick up the Tianling Crystal, he said with emotion, “It’s also because of its special characteristics that it has a special power that other Heaven Treasures don’t have—toughness!”

Because it was shaped like ice, there was a function of the Tianling Crystal. After a person ate it, the energy it had would turn into a very special ice attribute.

This kind of ice attribute was not the ordinary kind that would be shattered when it fell to the ground.

It was the kind of ice that was so cold that anyone who touched it would be attached to it!

This kind of attribute was toughness!

This attribute was of little use to ordinary martial arts practitioners.

Therefore, the Tianling Crystal was not very well known in the martial arts world.

However, for Fang Qiu, the Tianling Crystal was a good thing that could only be found by chance because the Tianling Crystal could not only protect and repair the meridians, but it could also strengthen them and make them tougher!

From this perspective, the Tianling Crystal existed simply for those who recultivated their meridians!

Fang Qiu carefully picked the Tianling Crystal. After losing the Tianling Crystal, the magical transparent plant instantly dissolved, like a puddle of water, which then seeped into the earth and disappeared.

Using a small jade bottle that he had prepared in advance to store the Tianling Crystal, Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

“Whew…”

Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Fang Qiu put it into his trouser pocket. Then he thought of the giant owl that had been driven away by him just now. He immediately smiled and sighed with emotion. “I wanted to say it was not easy, but I did not expect to get the Heaven Treasure so easily. It’s really the first time I’ve encountered such a good thing.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking,

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a sound like a gust of wind could be heard.

He looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a masked man, who was not too far away from him, flying over quickly and who instantly blocked Fang Qiu’s way.

“John Doe.”

As soon as the masked man landed on the ground, he shouted in standard Mandarin, “I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Although I don’t know if you have noticed my existence, you should know that I mean no harm to you since I am not robbing you of your Tianling Crystal.”

“Hmm?”

Fang Qiu looked at the masked man from head to toe carefully and then said, “I think you won’t be able to take it even if you try.”

The masked man narrowed his eyes.

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Fang Qiu asked, “However, I am quite curious. How did you know that the Heaven Treasure was here?”

“If I want to know, I will naturally know.”

The masked man leaned over, glanced at Fang Qiu and said, “Let me ask you, don’t you think that many people in this world are living in pain?”
