Chapter 749 - 351 "Fisherman" Fang Mu! _1
Fang Mu had indeed heard about the Luminous Snake Clan from Jiao Feng.
The reason why so many Beast Controlling Forces were heading towards the Panfeng Federation to explore this major ancient battlefield was because it was rumored among the Beast Controlling Clans that this battlefield had something to do with the Sage!
Fang Mu didn’t know who the Sage was or what significance the title had.
But that didn’t stop Fang Mu from being curious about the Sage.
If given the opportunity, Fang Mu would also like to uncover the legend of the Sage.
Anything or secret related to the Sage that the Beast Controlling Forces continuously sought coverage for must be incredibly valuable.
Shu Liangjun used the Silver Mirror to teleport Fang Mu four times in a row towards the direction of north.
Fang Mu carefully felt the temperature of the crescent moon pendant on his chest. He found that during the third time, the crescent moon pendant heated to the point that his chest was slightly painful.
However, after the fourth teleportation, the temperature of the Crescent Moon Pendant decreased.
This confirmed Fang Mu’s hypothesis that the object causing the Mysterious Moon Pendant to heat up was near the previous location.
"Elder Shu, please teleport me back to the previous location. Let’s thoroughly search that area!"
Shu Liangjun nodded upon hearing Fan Mu’s words, but was confused about what was so special about the previous location.
Every time Shu Liangjun teleported, during the two to three-minute cooldown of the silver mirror, he would inspect the surroundings.
At the site where Fang Mu had found the Phoenix Blood Jade Original Stone, there were relatively valuable supplies.
But the further he explored northwards, the fewer resources there were.
There doesn’t seem to be any forces present nearby; perhaps some human forces and Beast Controlling Forces had teleported to this location, but upon understanding the situation, they all likely shifted their direction.
Despite being puzzled, Shu Liangjun promptly moved to teleport Fang Mu and Shui Miao back to the previous location as soon as the cooldown period of the silver mirror ended.
Fang Mu tentatively took one hundred steps in every direction, then chose a location that made the Crescent Moon Pendant even hotter than at the center. He marked a curve towards this location.
Quickly, Fang Mu determined that moving about 21 degrees in the northeast direction heated the Crescent Moon Pendant the most.
So, Fang Mu waved at Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao and headed in the direction he sensed.
Looking at the vast plains landscape that lay before him, a frown appeared on Fang Mu’s face.
He had already walked almost one kilometer in the direction of northeast 21 degrees.
The plains were endless. Shu Liangjun’s fourth teleportation also landed them on a prairie, which was likely the same region.
Could it be that what heats up the Crescent Moon Pendant is on these endless plains!? Fang Mu turned to Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao and said,
"Ah Shui, Elder Shu, I can guarantee that the location ahead definitely has a secret!"
"Could you possibly help me search thoroughly?"
Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun, who had been following at Fang Mu’s side, started sensing the environment around them through their spiritual power when they heard Fang Mu’s certainty.
Shu Liangjun was the first to shake his head, indicating he had not noticed anything unusual.
However, the expression on Shui Miao’s face changed slightly.
"This environment seems calm, but Elder Shu, didn’t you realize, there’s no wind here!"
"The grass field five hundred meters ahead, the grass is visibly darker and more lush compared to the surroundings."
While he was speaking, Shui Miao issued a command to the JuYang Giant Clam in Fang Mu’s palms.
Suddenly, a water curtain sprayed out from the JuYang Giant Clam.
The water curtain covered the grass around a kilometer radius and fiercely washed the surface.
A significant amount of grass peeled off from the ground.
Fang Mu acutely noticed that the grass planted at the location previously pointed out by Shui Miao hadn’t separated from the ground.
Shu Liangjun turned the Silver Mirror, and immediately transported Fang Mu and Shui Miao to the edge of this grass patch.
Shui Miao crouched down and pressed on the grass patch, then a fan dance emerged from the folding fan in his hand.
A blade of water slashed at the grass patch, splitting the patch in two.
The splitting of the grass was accompanied by a harsh sound of metal being cut.
Seeing the energy circuits etched onto the divided metal plate, Shui Miao’s and Shu Liangjun’s brows furrowed simultaneously.
Energy circuits could be drawn by any Spirit-smithing Master in the Seventh Era.
However, in the Fifth and Sixth Epochs, spiritual instruments were crafted by Creators.
Creators had mysteriously melted precious spiritual materials together perfectly.
In some relics, spiritual instruments from the Fifth and Sixth Epochs, made by these Creators, have been found.
In ancient texts, these special spiritual tools are referred to as Treasure Instruments.
Most of these Treasure Instruments lost their effectiveness after prolonged exposure to the elements, and the materials applied to craft these Treasure Instruments also deteriorated, leaving little room for further study.
They merely serve to inform people from the Seventh Era of the splendid civilization that existed during the Fifth and Sixth Epochs.
If it weren’t for the energy circuits appearing on the metal plate beneath the cut grass patch, Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun wouldn’t have been so alarmed.
The fact that a metal plate with energy circuits appeared here suggested that the things hidden here were probably not placed by the original settlers of the relic.
After inspecting these energy circuits carefully, Shui Miao concluded that these energy circuits absorbed elemental energy from the environment to mask their aura.
