Chapter 328: Fight for the Gloves
It was only for Guo Tong's sake that Zhang Tian tried to speak in a friendly manner. Otherwise, if a young man who was ignorant of the world asked to see the captured magic weapons, Zhang Tian would have scolded him.
"What's the matter with seeing it? Can it be seen as bad?" Li Shitong said dissatisfiedly. Unconsciously, she had already regarded Su Chen as her own. If Su Chen was treated unfairly, she would be very angry.
Zhang Tian looked at Li Shitong. He immediately recognized that this young girl was Guo Tong's disciple and a promising second-grade alchemist. He did not dare to neglect it and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the people of the three major families."
"You should have said it earlier. If you can't make the decision, why are you showing off here?" Li Shitong snorted.
Zhang Tian almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he couldn't argue with Guo Tong's disciples, so he had to say: "You go meet the adults of the three major families first, and then talk."
Guo Tong nodded, said nothing more, and took a few people away and continued to move forward.
Soon, they came to a tent, which was very close to the entrance of the cave.
Guo Tong directly led a few people to one of the largest tents. This tent was where the three major families discussed things. At this moment, three strong men were sitting in it.
When the three strong men saw that Guo Tong was here, they didn't dare to neglect it. They quickly got up from their seats and bowed to Guo Tong: "Master Guo."
Guo Tong pointed to Li Shitong and Su Chen and said: "These are my disciples, and these are my friends. They know that a first-class magic weapon has appeared in the world, and they want to see it."
"Hey, Master Su Chen." A strong man looked at Su Chen and said in surprise. This person represented a senior executive of the Mu family. Because Su Chen had lived in the Mu family before, he naturally knew Su Chen.
At this moment, the Mu family's top executives were also very surprised to see Su Chen here. However, when they thought about Su Chen's recent fame in Anyang City, it was not so strange.
"Why, Mu Yi, do you know him?" asked a middle-aged man with a mustache, who was a senior executive of the Lou family.
"Don't you know him? He is Su Chen." Mu Yi asked back.
When the Lou family's top executive heard that it was Su Chen, he snorted coldly and said, "What cat or dog, do I need to know?"
"Hey, Su Chen, why does Lord Lou seem to have a strong prejudice against you?" Li Shitong asked strangely.
Su Chen just smiled faintly. He knew that the Lou family's attitude towards him could only be said to be related to Lou Jun, but he didn't care. If he had to care about the attitude of any small character, he would have been exhausted.
Mu Yi glanced at Su Chen and the senior members of the Lou family, and said nothing, but said: "Master Guo, and Master Su Chen, you can stay here first and wait for tomorrow to explore the cave ruins together. Before that, you can go to the stream to participate in the fishing of the first-grade magic weapon."
There are not many tents here, and they are in short supply. Even Guo Tong only got two tents.
At present, Guo Tong, Su Chen and Xue Yong live in one room, and Gu Qianyin and Li Shitong live in another.
After settling down, several people also got more information about the cave ruins.
It turned out that through the exploration of the past few days, the strong men of the three major families and other families have basically confirmed that there are indeed ancient ruins in the cave, so there will be a first-grade magic weapon flowing out of the cave along the stream.
They plan to wait until tomorrow, and everyone will enter the cave together to see what's going on.
Why wait until tomorrow, instead of letting some stronger people go in now? Because they had actually tried it, but just after entering the cave and going upstream along the stream, they would encounter poisonous miasma and could not go deeper.
Therefore, they could only ask alchemists to refine elixirs to avoid miasma and detoxify, which is why Guo Tong was invited.
Many strong men from Anyang City came to this operation, including some old monsters, but it was not to the extent that the entire Anyang City was mobilized. Because if it was just a first-grade magic weapon, it would not be enough to make many strong men interested in moving. Many of them already had a first-grade magic weapon and would not be so eager.
Unless it was proven that there were high-grade skills and martial arts in the cave ruins, or elixirs of the third grade or above, they would not be able to sit still.
After mastering all the information, several people prepared to go to the stream to catch the first-grade magic weapon.
Guo Tong said he was not interested in catching the magic weapon, so he stayed in the tent to study the way of alchemy.
The four young men, Su Chen, Xue Yong, Gu Qianyin, and Li Shitong, walked out of the tent and headed back to the stream where the first-grade magic weapon was caught.
There are rules for catching magic weapons. Only fishing nets and other items are allowed. It is strictly forbidden to catch them directly. If you really want to catch them, you can, but you have to go to the lowest part of the stream, that is, wait until others are sure that they can't catch them before you can do it.
In this way, the situation seems a bit funny. Those powerful people who are usually well-known in the city are now like fishermen, holding fishing nets and waiting for the arrival of magic weapons.
"Here they come again!"
Someone shouted, and saw another object floating from the upper reaches of the stream, a pair of gloves.
Although the gloves were two separate pieces, they were always tightly together when floating in the stream, and were not separated at all by the water flow.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gloves. This was a pair of gloves that was as long as the forearm, and seemed to be woven with white silk threads. It looked as light as a feather, and it emitted a soft light, with faint runes flashing on it.
This is a good thing!
Many people immediately made such a judgment, not only because the workmanship of the gloves looked very fine, but also because the gloves were not damaged at all, and the runes on them were well preserved, and the power must be good.
They had been squatting here for several days, and this pair of gloves should be the most tempting one among the magic weapons they had seen flowing out of the stream.
"This pair of gloves is mine!"
"No, it should be mine."
Everyone immediately scrambled for it, and one fishing net after another went towards the gloves.
However, a strange thing happened immediately. The glove seemed to have its own consciousness. It dodged left and right flexibly, slipped out of the encirclement of the fishing net like a loach, and continued to drift downstream.
Of course, this was also the result of the powerful ancient will stored in the glove.
