Chapter 1186 - 522: Hills That Guide the Way_2
"What’s the use of this? There’s no reaction at all!"
Watching from the side, Xu Qingqiu couldn’t help but show a look of confusion.
"I don’t know, but I always feel like it must be useful!"
"Let’s go back and study it carefully later!"
Ning Qi shook his head and then walked out directly.
"Then let’s go!"
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi, then turned around and left.
Ning Qi followed closely behind, and the two quickly returned outside.
Once on the street, they saw Medicine Spirit.
"Master, did you discover anything?"
Medicine Spirit saw the two coming out and couldn’t help but ask.
"No discoveries at all!"
Xu Qingqiu sighed, "Did you find anything?"
"No, I’ve searched this place thoroughly and didn’t find anything!"
"This place has obviously already been scavenged by someone!"
Medicine Spirit shook his head and looked at Ning Qi, "Master, I feel like we should just move to the next place. Any place the Divine Sense can’t detect treasures in, we can just give up on!"
"Even if this batch of people hasn’t scavenged here, a previous batch or someone from long ago already has."
"Yes, you’re right, we don’t need to waste any more time!"
Listening to Medicine Spirit’s suggestion, Ning Qi nodded and pointed to the area ahead, "There aren’t many continental fragments left here!"
"Let’s make a quick decision and try to free ourselves as soon as possible."
"Okay!"
Xu Qingqiu happily agreed.
"Let’s take action then!"
Medicine Spirit was delighted to see the two agree so easily and started jumping joyfully.
The Nine-tailed Cat on Xu Qingqiu’s shoulder still appeared drowsy.
Its eyes only opened a bit when disturbed by Medicine Spirit, before continuing to rest on her shoulder.
"Let’s go!"
Ning Qi waved and then leaped.
Arriving at the void above, he started to collaborate with Xu Qingqiu in action.
Their Divine Senses spread out, exploring all the continental fragments in their path.
Any location without treasure fluctuation was directly bypassed.
They continued to move swiftly, and after almost thoroughly investigating the edge area’s continental fragments, they arrived in front of a large piece of continent.
This fragment was much larger than anything they had encountered before.
If it weren’t for the edge area, it could have already been called a landmass.
"This... it’s impossible to explore here, I feel a Restriction on this place, our Divine Sense is being blocked."
Xu Qingqiu hovered in the void, looking at the continent before her.
Her pretty face showed a hint of amazement.
Discovering such a continent here is undoubtedly a substantial gain.
The larger the area, the more opportunities there are, meaning there would always be places people have overlooked.
"It’s worth investigating further to see what kind of trickery is hidden here."
Ning Qi looked at the continent in front of him, turned, and smiled, "How about it, want to try?"
"Of course, while no one else is here yet, we might stumble upon an opportunity!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and had already flown downward first.
"Swoosh!"
Ning Qi didn’t hesitate, directly following closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the two had landed on the continent.
"Whew!"
It was a plain, ending in a range of continuous mountains, with numerous hills at their junction.
Seemed not very large, but there were many, and they were densely packed.
"Let’s go."
Ning Qi motioned for Xu Qingqiu to follow.
"Strange, the Restriction here prevents us from Flying in the Sky."
Xu Qingqiu tried several times but could only fly at a low altitude.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
"Isn’t this even better? Anyone wanting to quickly scour for treasures here won’t be able to!"
"We might actually have a chance!"
Ning Qi smiled and then looked ahead, "The people here really went big, setting up a Restriction across the entire continent."
"Let’s go, I want to see what treasures such a grand setup might hold for us."
Xu Qingqiu couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
"Master, I feel there should be treasures here, we won’t be in vain this time."
Medicine Spirit hovered mid-air, agreeing wholeheartedly.
"Stay close, it might be dangerous here at any moment!"
Ning Qi glanced at Medicine Spirit, then continued, "Let me see what mystery lies here!"
"Okay!"
Medicine Spirit agreed and began circling around Ning Qi.
And Ning Qi continued forward with Xu Qingqiu along the plain.
After another two-hour period, the two finally arrived at the hill area.
"Whew!"
Xu Qingqiu exhaled deeply, looking ahead.
Passing the hills would lead to the mountains.
"Once we reach the mountains, find a high peak to see what’s at the end of the range!"
"Here, we’re blocked from seeing anything!"
Ning Qi also stood on a hill, gazing into the distance.
The higher you stand, the farther you see.
Their vision here was entirely obstructed by the mountains ahead.
They couldn’t see what lay beyond the mountains or know any conditions there.
"Alright, let’s go!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and continued to lead the way.
"Master, I feel like these hills are moving!"
After they had walked some distance, Medicine Spirit suddenly noticed something.
He flew over to Ning Qi to speak.
With his small hands pointing at the hills below, he gesticulated energetically to Ning Qi.
"Oh? Did you see it wrong?"
Ning Qi laughed at his words.
He didn’t care much.
With so many hills here, it was easy to mistake movement while walking.
One might think these hills are moving.
"Seems like he’s not wrong, these hills are indeed moving!"
But before Medicine Spirit could explain, Xu Qingqiu spoke up.
"Moving?"
Hearing her words, Ning Qi couldn’t help but grow curious.
If Medicine Spirit had seen wrong, it would be unlikely both of them saw wrong.
Thus, Ning Qi leaped up and looked down at the hills below from the sky.
At first, he didn’t notice anything, but gradually he observed these hills indeed moving.
The speed was slow, but they were definitely moving.
"How is it, not deceiving, right?"
Seeing Ning Qi’s expression change, Medicine Spirit proudly said, "There’s definitely something off about them."
"Hmph, putting on a show."
Ning Qi snorted coldly and directly took out the Chaos Sword.
Ready to strike at the hills below with one sword.
"Hold on."
But Xu Qingqiu stopped him.
"What are you afraid of? Even if they’re moving, they’re just some hills."
Ning Qi found these moving hills intriguing and wanted to see what was going on.
"They haven’t moved all along and began only after we arrived, don’t you find it strange?"
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi, showing a grave expression.
"Then what do you mean..."
Ning Qi looked at her, curiosity piqued.
"We might as well see where these hills are heading."
"Or rather, where they intend to lead us."
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi with a hint of a smile.
"Oh? Are they leading us somewhere?"
Medicine Spirit, hearing her words, looked curiously at the hills.
"Haven’t you noticed? Only the hills beneath us are moving."
"Every time we move away, they shift slightly."
"In other words, they intentionally want to lead us to specific places!"
Xu Qingqiu pointed at the hills beneath them, smiling, "So, let’s just follow the direction of these moving hills."
"To see where they ultimately lead to, wouldn’t that solve it."
"You’re the best, we never noticed!"
Ning Qi looked at Xu Qingqiu, admiringly, "More people, more power."
"In that case, let’s follow and see where they’re trying to take us."
"Master, what if it’s a trap?"
Medicine Spirit was a bit worried but didn’t want to undermine Xu Qingqiu.
He could only remind in a low voice.
"It’s alright, if it’s dangerous, we simply don’t go!"
Ning Qi patted Medicine Spirit, then landed on the previous hill, "So, let’s follow and check out what’s going on!"
