1031 One Wrong Move Spoiled the Plan
"Why is this here?" Chen Xiaobei could not believe what he saw inside the brocade box.
Instead of the ninth piece of the Orochi Scale that Li Xiang was looking for, there was a piece of dark purple gemstone!
Chen Xiaobei had seen this the material of this gemstone before, it was exactly the same as the rosary in the Sui Generis Dragon Artifact!
"Dark Purple Crystal! This is a big one! Bro Bei! Can I please have a bite? I'm starving…"
Xiao'er quavered, looking rather excited.
This little thing really was a chowhound. It would not budge when it saw delicious food.
You could tell, from its reaction, that the Dark Purple Crystal could be considered as Spiritual Item that had a higher tier than the Violet Cold Steel!
To Xiao'er, the better the tier of a Spiritual Item, the tastier it was.
"Not now! Not yet!" Chen Xiaobei said, "I used the Dreamcatcher Bell and found out from Nikkawa Okazaka that there is a key to an ancient treasure vault! If you bite it, how are we going to open it?"
"But I'm starving…"
Xiao'er looked at the Dark Purple Crystal, drooling.
"Bear with me first! Wait until we find the treasury and then get the door opened. Then, we will eat it together!"
Chen Xiaobei picked up the Dark Purple Crystal and took a deep breath, "It's exactly the same… Brr… So cold…"
Chen Xiaobei felt the cold even when he had 39,000 health because the Dark Purple Crystal was a Yin type Spiritual Item which emitted a bone-chilling cold. He picked up the Dark Purple Crystal and examined it: it was about palm-sized and at first-look resembled a token. Other than that, there was nothing else special about it and did not tell of the exact location of the treasury.
"It looks like I'll have to ask Qie Loulan."
Chen Xiaobei took out the spirit cage and released the unusual-looking Eight-Stars Wight.
"Bro Bei! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Qie Loulan rose and stretched to about 3 meters tall. He seemed to have grown a little and his Yin Qi was so strong that it raised hairs.
"Oh? Why do I feel like you've become stronger?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"It's because of that Dark Purple Crystal Rosary!" Qie Loulan answered, "The Yin Energy of the Dark Purple Crystal harmonizes perfectly with my body. It's a perfect match! It is very beneficial to my Spiritual Body. Even though my combat power did not increase, I am back to the tip-top condition I was in!"
"Tip-top condition?" Chen Xiaobei raised his brow and asked, "Did you recall anything from your past?"
"Yes! I remember some things!" Qie Loulan answered in a serious tone, "The place where I hibernated was in the seabed. It was an ancient archeological site called Temple Qielan!"
"Seabed? Archeological site? Temple Qielan?"Chen Xiaobei turned this information over his mind and said, "If that's the case, that archeological site must be the ancient treasure vault that Nikkawa Okazaka was talking about! And this piece of Dark Purple Crystal is the key to open it!"
"
"Huh? There's still a Dark Purple Crystal?!" Qie Loulan's eyes lit up when he spotted the Dark Purple Crystal Token in Chen Xiaobei's hands.
"Do you remember the exact location of the site?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"I can't think of anything for now, but if we're near, I might be able to sense it…" Qie Loulan said uncertainly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Surround the bedroom! The emperor is on his way back! We cannot let the thief run away!"
There was loud commotion outside.
He palace guards had definitely gathered around outside and made sure that all the exits are completely blocked off. When he heard his men's voice over the phone, Nikkawa Uchu knew that he was tricked and quickly rushed back.
"We have to go!" Chen Xiaobei placed the new Dark Purple Crystal into the spirit cage and instructed, "Qie Loulan, think carefully, see if you can remember the location of the archeological site. I will ask you again later!"
"Yes, Master!"
Qie Loulan returned into his Spirit Cage.
Xiao'er also made its way back into Chen Xiaobei's pocket.
"Let's go!" Chen Xiaobei stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and flew out of the hole in the roof.
The palace guards outside were all quite weak. They did not even spot Chen Xiaobei's escape.
Chen Xiaobei had already cleared out Japan's national treasury and there was nothing worthy of stealing in here. He had wanted to meet up with Six Ear Macaque and the rest but shortly after he left Tokyo, a loud whizzing sound came up from behind him.
"What is that?"
Chen Xiaobei turned around and was surprised to find ten black fighter aircrafts pursuing him! Those were no ordinary fighter aircraft, but the USA's latest H-2 Falcon supersonic fighter aircraft! This bird was currently named the world's fastest fighter jet. It had not been revealed to the public yet—only the USA and its staunch allies were equipped with it! The rest of the countries had not even heard of it!
So, how fast was that aircraft?
The Somersault Cloud under Chen Xiaobei's feet was crafted by Lei Zhenzi, using the Prosperous Cloud. It could travel up to 100,000 miles a day! And this Falcon combat aircraft was able to catch up to Chen Xiaobei! This proved that it was much faster than the Somersault Cloud Chen XIaobei was on!
At a rough estimation, its speed was at least 15 times faster than the speed of sound. This was why the person who controls the army and own the most advanced technology governs a country!
This aircraft with supersonic guided missiles could kill an elite with middle phase Celestial cultivation with ease!
"I'm in grave danger! I really underestimated Chen Yasai and Nikkawa Uchu… They actually deployed the most advanced combat aircraft to pursue me!"
Chen Xiaobei's frown deepened. "I've already used the Ultimate Protective Puppet. I will have to wait 24 hours before I can use it for the second time! These ten-combat aircraft will terminate me! They can't be here because Six Ear Macaque and the rest are hiding inside the forest. If they were found, I won't be able to protect them! What should I do?"
Chen Xiaobei looked really sullen; he had not taken the Imperial Japanese Air Force into account!
It would not be long before Chen Xiaobei would come into view of the Falcon combat aircraft's firing range. The missiles would be travel faster and the lesser the chance he would be able to dodge it!
"Could it that one wrong move and I lose everything?"
Chen Xiaobei was overwrought. If something happened to him now, everything he had worked so hard for would all go down the toilet!
"Wait! That's it."
Chen Xiaobei suddenly spotted a way out from the corner of his eyes!
