Chapter 1148: Chapter 1151: Mirror Lake Treasure Search Area_1 Chapter 1148: Chapter 1151: Mirror Lake Treasure Search Area_1 The name ‘Ghost Face Man’ brought back many unpleasant memories to the Star Spirit.
At the time of the Red Flame Mountain incident, he had participated in the siege against the Ghost Face Man, but unfortunately six people working together still failed to catch him, even going so far as to lose Whistling Wind in the process.
He had thought that the Ghost Face Man had died in the volcano, but unexpectedly, he heard news of him again today.
The news was released by a martial artist from the Northern Alliance, and it was very simple, just a few sentences.
“The Ghost Face Man has reappeared, his identity confirmed, his real name is Lin Zhen.
Everyone, please be careful!”
As for Lin Zhen, the Star Spirit wasn’t unfamiliar with him.
He was one of the suspects they had doubted earlier.
…
He could even recite some information about Lin Zhen off by heart; a late stage lower god, from the Witch Star, proficient in using a spear, the Black Hole Beast…
The only thing worth noting was the Black Hole Beast.
Other than that, this person was insignificant.
“A lower god, the Ghost Face Man?
What a joke!”
If it were said that the Ghost Face Man was alive, the Star Spirit would believe it, but saying that Lin Zhen was the Ghost Face Man, he really did not believe it.
But with a cautious attitude, he said to his subordinates, “Everyone, be careful.
The Ghost Face Man reportedly reappeared and might seek revenge for past grudges.”
“Boss, I don’t think we have to worry too much.
Didn’t you guys blast the Ghost Face Man down the volcano with one hit the last time?
Back then, you were only at the peak of upper god, and already fearless against the Ghost Face Man.
Now we have twelve people gathered together, the Ghost Face Man wouldn’t dare to come looking for death.”
“That’s right, you must have taught the Ghost Face Man a lesson last time.
If he knows his limits, he should have learned to be humble.
If he dares to come to the lake area, I’m afraid he’d be dismembered in an instant.”
The Star Spirit nodded in agreement, but didn’t take it to heart.
Twelve people occupied a stretch of beach.
Securing a good position was important because when the tide came in, experienced people could anticipate the presence of treasure within the tide.
After seeing the treasure, they would predict where it would land, and then send people to guard that area.
As soon as the tide receded, they would dive down to find the treasure immediately!
Those close by might gain something.
Searching for treasure here was just about quick reflexes.
Of course, if two or more people set their sights on the same spot, a fight could break out over the treasure emerging from beneath.
After all, everyone here was a martial artist, and fights were commonplace.
As time went by, a chilling wind blew through.
“The tide is rising!”
In the far-off lake, a massive storm was brewing.
The mirror-like surface of the lake shattered, the blue waters churning up massive waves that rolling towards the shore.
Everyone stood up, craning their necks to look into the lake.
Occasionally, the shimmer of treasure would flicker within the waves, making everyone’s mouths water.
However, no one dared to go recklessly.
The treasures had not yet sunk, making them impossible to catch, and those who went now would be reduced to bone-dust by the blue waters in mere seconds.
Only a pure energy shield or domain armament could withstand the assault of the waves.
Wave after wave crashed upon the shore, submerging large swaths of land.
Tides on Earth that extend hundreds of meters are considered extreme, but here the tide elevated the water level by more than a hundred meters and extended for hundreds of kilometers!
Small squads near the shore retreated one after another, only stopping once the tide ceased to advance.
The Star Spirit quickly arranged for everyone to get ready.
“This storm will pass in about five hours.
Everyone prepare, here…
Here…
And there…
All these areas must be thoroughly searched, every single second counts.
In these places, there could be treasures.”
His subordinates nodded in agreement and then took to the skies, waiting at the locations the Star Spirit had pointed out.
Some of these places were unoccupied, while others were occupied.
But just because someone was guarding a spot didn’t mean there was treasure there.
Most would likely return empty-handed, as no one could accurately predict where a treasure might be.
Having arranged the tasks for everyone else, the Star Spirit himself zeroed in on a specific location.
This spot was his primary focus because when the waves came, he saw a bar of dark treasure light flickering intensively, a luminescence that lower grade armed pieces couldn’t possibly match.
It was, at the very least, a mid-grade armed piece.
This was a rare opportunity and the Star Spirit was determined to obtain this treasure!
Looking around, it seemed nobody else had noticed this spot, and the Star Spirit felt a surge of joy.
Soaring into the sky, he started to circle within this area.
The figures that circled above the lake were like birds, waiting for the revealing moment when the tide receded.
Time dragged on, and finally, five hours passed.
The storm gradually died down as expected, and with the force of the storm receding, the waters began to fall.
The people in the sky were like drawn bows, ready to dive down at any moment.
The water started to recede, and from within, treasures emerged in a bright burst of light!
A few kilometers away, an upper god let out a yell and plunged down, capturing the treasure the moment it flickered into view.
“Hahaha, Thunder Battle Axe, lower grade armed!”
This god pumped his fist towards his companions, who erupted in cheer.
A treasure was found first thing, which suggested that this tide may reveal something good.
In the midst of such enthusiasm, others patrolled their self-selected locations even more vigilantly.
Close to the Star Spirit’s area, another light flickered into life, and its guardian swiftly swooped down.
Those who were too far away had no hope of reaching it in time.
“Ah, it’s just a boundary stone.”
As the man ascended into the sky, a look of disappointed crossed his face.
This was quite a common occurrence, with treasures often turning out to be nothing more than a boundary stone or a chaos primordial stone.
Even more often, people found nothing at all in the sections of water they watched, with no treasures to be found.
As the tide kept falling, more and more people ended up empty-handed.
The Star Spirit noticed that none of the areas he had chosen earlier held any treasures, and his teammates wore expressions of disappointment.
About several dozen kilometers away, someone found a lower grade armored piece, triggering cheers from the crowd.
The water was now almost level with his feet.
The Star Spirit took a deep breath, having a premonition that he was definitely going to find something this time.
Splash!
As the water roiled, the original ground was revealed.
Somewhere, a dim light flickered, capturing everyone’s attention!
A five-foot-long incandescent blade was visible, its intimidating aura reaching as far as the skies above.
That was the aura of treasure.
A high grade armed longsword!
“Damn!
A high grade weapon, I’ve hit the jackpot!”
The Star Spirit couldn’t contain his excitement.
The value of a high-grade armed long sword was self-evident.
With such a sword in his possession, what did he have to fear from the Ghost Face Man?
