Chapter 2386: Chapter 2377, the origin of the crystal
Translator: 54969033
The distance of 2,000 miles was not close, but it could not withstand the speed of Jiang Feiâs 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.
âWeâre Here!âJiang Fei put away his chengying sword and landed with little nine.
âBrother! Over There! Thereâs so much delicious food!âAs soon as they landed in Eagle Creek, little nine started running.
âSlow down, little nine. No one is fighting with you!âJiang 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.
âHey! These are all mine! Donât you dare move!âFrom Afar, Jiang Fei could hear little nine shouting very aggressively. However, his childish voice sounded cute and did not have any deterrent effect.
âEh? Little Guy, why are you here?âA 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.
âHehe, we are really fated!âJiang Fei laughed.
âSenior, why are you here?âHong Yun asked curiously.
âThere are some things that little jiu likes here,âJiang Fei said with a smile.
âAre these the stones?âHong 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.
âYes!âJiang Fei did not hide anything.
âSenior, do you need a lot of them?âAsked Hong Yun.
âI think so,âsaid 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.
âIf thatâs the case... can I take two of them, senior?âAsked Hong Yun.
âWhat do you want these for?âJiang Fei asked.
âTo complete a quest.âHong Yun was a rogue cultivator. Without the help of her family, she could only become a bounty hunter in order to obtain cultivation resources.
âIs the reward very high?âJiang Fei asked.
âTen Crystals,âHong 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.
âIâll give you twenty wood crystals. Donât do this quest anymore,âsaid Jiang Fei.
âThis...âHong 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.
âWhatâs wrong? Is this quest very important to you? Do you have to complete it?âJiang Fei asked curiously.
âYes! If the quest fails, the quest points will be deducted,âHong Yun said truthfully.
âAlright then. Take two and leave.âJiang 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.
âThank you, Senior!âAfter Hong Yun picked up the two stones, she turned around and left.
âLittle Nine, letâs begin!âJiang Fei said to little nine when he saw Hong Yun leave.
âYay!âLittle nine cried out and began to peel the stones.
âAwoo!â
âAwoo...â
This time, little nine finally had a good time. The shore 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.
âBig Brother, Iâm going to sleep!âLittle Nine said to Jiang Fei.
âOkay!âJiang 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.
âGo to sleep,âJiang Fei said to little nine.
âOkay! Good night, Big Brother!âLittle nine obediently laid on the bed. After eating his fill, he quickly fell asleep.
âSwoosh!âJiang Fei raised his hand and set up a barrier. At the same time, he could also hide Little Nineâs 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 Feiâs spiritual power. Whenever Jiang Feiâs spiritual power spread into the small lake.., there was a gentle force that guided Jiang Feiâs spiritual power to another place.
âThis is really strange!âJiang 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.
âSplash...âat 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.
âSplash...âanother 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 shell, in the middle of it was a gemstone that was shining 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 shore.
âClack...âthe gemstone on the starfishâs 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.
âD * MN! So thatâs how the gemstones came about!âJiang Fei was surprised. He had thought that these gemstones were minerals. He did not expect that these things were actually a strange âExcrementâof starfish after training..
