Chapter 1770 Go After Him
In the distance.
“What?”
“How could this happen?”
“John Doe took the spiritual fruit away?”
The faces of the Autranssian officials who were watching all this from a distance changed when they saw John Doe holding the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand and fleeing quickly.
In their opinion, all of this should be part of their perfect plan. All those who wanted to snatch the spiritual fruit should be killed by the guided missiles launched by the Autranssians.
To their surprise, although the guided missiles were launched, they didn’t hurt anyone. Instead, they indirectly helped John Doe snatch the spiritual fruit.
This had completely gone against the Autranssians’ wishes.
They would never allow their spiritual fruit to be taken away by people from other countries no matter what.
“What should we do?” asked the Autranssian spokesperson.
“Go after him.”
Mason’s face turned cold, and he said directly, “Take everyone away immediately and ask our men to monitor John Doe at all times. I’m going to catch up with him now and try my best to keep the spiritual fruit. Even if I can’t keep it, I must destroy it!”
“Okay.”
The Autranssian spokesperson nodded.
He knew very well that with their strength, even if they chased after John Doe together, it would not be of much use. They would only get themselves killed.
Since they had even launched guided missiles, it was time for them to move to another battlefield.
Going to the military base was more useful than chasing after John Doe.
Swoosh!
After that, Mason moved and immediately burst out all his strength to chase in the direction of John Doe.
Fang Qiu directly increased his speed to the extreme.
He was fleeing frantically in the desert at an extremely fast speed.
However, the aura emitted by the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand was too strong. Wherever Fang Qiu passed, all the animals in the desert, including lizards, scorpions, giant lizards, and snakes, rioted because of the aura of the Yuan Yang Fruit.
Countless animals that lived in the desert frantically came out of the sand and chased after Fang Qiu who was flying wildly in the air.
Behind him, the Little Saint Lord and the others were also chasing after Fang Qiu desperately.
The Muricans were moving side by side with the Little Saint Lord. It seemed that they were the strongest. They seemed to want to catch up with John Doe and kill him to get the fruit.
Fang Qiu sensed it carefully.
These people were not weak. When they went all out, although they were not as fast as him, they could at least keep up with him. Especially the Little Saint Lord, his strength was terrifying.
Under such a situation, it was obviously impossible to slip away under these people’s noses.
“Since I can’t escape from the sky, I’ll go underground.”
Fang Qiu looked down and found that there were all kinds of desert animals. He immediately waved his right hand, and a sword light flew out and slashed directly on the sand in front of him.
As the sword light fell, a huge crack appeared on the sand.
Without any hesitation, Fang Qiu rushed straight in.
Densely packed small animals followed closely behind.
When Fang Qiu got into the crack in the sand, the sand on both sides immediately poured into the crack like water.
The next moment, the sand that surged like water quickly filled up the crack.
However, as soon as Fang Qiu rushed into the ground and separated himself from the sand with his internal Qi, there was a swooshing sound from all directions.
In the sand in all directions, a large number of various desert animals rushed out and rushed toward Fang Qiu as if they had gone mad to attack him.
“Humph.”
Fang Qiu waved his right hand.
He directly loosened the root of the Yuan Yang Fruit wrapped around his arm and then drove his internal Qi into the root. While the animals in all directions were attacking him, he waved his right hand fiercely.
The root of the Yuan Yang Fruit, which had been infused with internal Qi, immediately rushed out. With Fang Qiu as the center, it instantly swept away all the desert animals within a radius of dozens of meters.
After all of this was done, Fang Qiu immediately hid in the sand. He didn’t wrap Yuan Yang Fruit’s root in his hand around his arm again because the resistance was too great by wrapping it tightly.
On the contrary, it would be easier for him to carry it after he loosened it.
With the whole body’s internal Qi running, Fang Qiu soon rushed to the ground dozens of meters away and kept rushing down diagonally.
When Fang Qiu flew in midair, everyone could clearly see his figure and know his track. As long as they didn’t exhaust all their energy, they could chase Fang Qiu to death.
However, it was different underground.
Under the barrier of the sand, no one could see Fang Qiu. Even the aura of Fang Qiu’s energy was not as obvious as that when he was in the sky.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly the best choice for Fang Qiu to escape underground.
Of course, Fang Qiu wouldn’t stop to hide his aura immediately after he was lucky enough to reach a certain depth because he was still holding the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand.
He could completely hide his aura, but he couldn’t hide the aura emitted by the Yuan Yang Fruit.
Therefore, he couldn’t stop. He could only run.
“I hope I can find an underground river!”
Fang Qiu prayed silently.
He knew that there were many underground rivers in the desert.
As long as he could find an underground river, it was very likely that he could get away.
After all, no one knew where the underground river connected, and the place where the underground river connected must be in the crust. It was definitely not in the sand.
Inside the crust, there were places similar to caves. Once Fang Qiu arrived at those places, he would have a chance to use the terrain to get away.
Just as Fang Qiu fled dozens of meters underground, the people of various forces led by the Little Saint Lord and Tony immediately went underground without hesitation.
Obviously, they were not as familiar with going underground as Fang Qiu.
However, they were all powerful metahumans, so it was not difficult for them to go underground.
The desert giant lizard, which had been following closely behind, followed everyone and went straight into the ground.
It was an underground creature, and its ability to dig was much better than that of these metahumans. To it, sand was like water to fish.
While quickly diving into the depths of the sand, Fang Qiu directly released his Divine Consciousness and began to explore the surrounding terrain to find the location of the underground river.
As soon as he released his Divine Consciousness, he immediately noticed countless people following him and the huge desert giant lizard. At the same time, he also clearly detected everything within 80 kilometers around him.
“Not a single one?”
During detection, Fang Qiu was dumbfounded.
“There isn’t even a single underground river within eighty kilometers of me?”
It was very simple to use Divine Consciousness to explore the underground river because Divine Consciousness could clearly sense the existence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
The sand contained the most earth-type Heaven and Earth energy, and the water contained the most water-type Heaven and Earth energy, undoubtedly.
As long as there was a stream of water-type Heaven and Earth energy, it meant that there was an underground river.
It was a pity that at present, within the range of 80 kilometers was all earth-type Heaven and Earth energy. There was not even a trace of water-type Heaven and Earth energy.
Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only continue to move forward.
While exploring the situation behind him, he kept sensing the energy aura around him.
After advancing for more than ten kilometers, Fang Qiu finally sensed an aura of water-type energy.
It was a very majestic water-type energy that was constantly flowing.
That place must be the underground river.
After confirming the direction, Fang Qiu immediately rushed to the place where the underground river was.
Because it was underground, it took Fang Qiu a lot of time to get to the place where the underground river was located, which was 80 kilometers away. It was a very strange entrance.
When he came to the entrance, Fang Qiu directly got in and rushed into the underground river like a fish.
Because it came from upstream to downstream, the current in this underground river was particularly turbulent.
As soon as Fang Qiu entered, he rushed down along the current as if he was taking a slide.
After rushing for dozens of meters, he gradually slowed down. The current became slower, and the slope was not so high.
Fang Qiu didn’t care about that.
He kept moving forward along the current and swam for a very long distance.
It was unknown how far he had advanced.
Just as Fang Qiu was about to find a place to stick his head out and observe the situation around him, his arm suddenly tightened and he immediately stopped.
The root of the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand was straightened.
It was clear that something was pulling it from the other side.
Fang Qiu’s brows furrowed.
Along the way, he didn’t observe the situation around the underground river. Because of the darkness in front of him, he didn’t know where he had passed.
Now that he thought about it, he found that tens of meters behind him, there seemed to be a space where he had just passed by.
With that in mind, Fang Qiu immediately turned back.
After all, the roots of the Yuan Yang Fruit had been caught. If he didn’t go back, he could only forcibly pull it over from the other side.
If he pulled, he would inevitably encounter resistance, which would slow him down, and the people behind him would take the opportunity to catch up with him.
That was what he didn’t want to happen.
Therefore, he had to go back and see what was going on. If there was really a space in that place, there might be another way.
Even if he went against the current, it would only take Fang Qiu a few seconds to cover a distance of tens of meters.
He arrived at the place where the Yuan Yang Fruit’s root was being pulled.
Fang Qiu immediately popped his head out of the water.
He took a closer look and found that this was indeed an underground cave. It looked very spacious and huge.
Right now, an extremely ugly monster was standing on a rock, using its incomparably ugly mouth to tightly bite the end of the root of the Yuan Yang Fruit.
It was a creature about three to five meters long. It looked like a horse, with bristles on its head and back.
Its limbs looked very strange, like the tentacles of an octopus, but they could support its dog-like body. Its mouth looked very strange, like a big horn. There were fist-sized eyes on its head, which looked particularly scary.
“Is it… a Bunyip?”
