Chapter 741: Chapter 741 The Wrong Prize
Both groups headed in different directions.
I chose the southeast, while Grandma Raymond and others chose the east.
Both sides seemed to think the other was stupid, with mocking looks on their faces.
"Mason Raymond, why are you going in a different direction from them?" At this moment, York Pauley and Angela Tamara walked up to me.
I glanced at them and said, "Because their direction is wrong."
Hearing this, York Pauley couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you really think you’re some kind of fortune-telling master?"
"Believe it or not." I was too lazy to argue with them.
York Pauley and Angela Tamara exchanged glances and then sneered, "Mason Raymond, this is your own lost chance. Don’t blame us if you can’t get the herbs. You’ll have to answer to Alexa Madron yourself!"
"Get lost," I waved dismissively.
Our group continued southeast.
During this time, the man with the mustache and I stayed extremely alert, sweeping the area with our divine sense, searching for the calculated location.
Soon, we both arrived at a thick forest and stopped.
"This is it," the man with the mustache and I said at the same time.
I looked around and found nothing unusual about the surroundings or landscape.
"Usually, places where Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials appear should have special features," I frowned.
Either the trees would grow incredibly thick, or it would be completely barren. But this place was too normal, so normal that people wouldn’t give it a second glance.
"That’s where you’re wrong," the man with the mustache explained.
"From my years of experience, treasures like these are different from regular treasures. They seem to have developed awareness and know how to conceal themselves.
"So there won’t be any strange signs, the goal is to fool everyone."
I nodded slightly, agreeing with the man with the mustache’s opinion.
"Let’s just wait here then," I said.
The twenty-plus people waited for the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials to appear.
——
Elsewhere.
Ms. Zackary and her group also reached their target location.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Ms. Zackary nodded slightly.
"The trees here grow exceptionally thick because of the energy brought by the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials!" Jean Tricia said with a faint smile.
Everyone nodded and said, "The scenery here is indeed different from other places."
"It seems Master Tricia is correct, the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials will emerge here."
However, Ms. Zackary felt somewhat uneasy.
She wasn’t worried about Mason Raymond’s judgment, but she feared that The Noble Family would have an expert to guide them and discover the location of the medicinal materials.
With this thought, Ms. Zackary waved her hand and called over a man in a purple robe.
"Go and check on Mason Raymond’s side to see if there’s anything strange," Ms. Zackary said coldly.
The man in the purple robe bowed, "Yes."
He then released his divine sense to locate Mason Raymond.
——
Time passed minute by minute, and we chatted while waiting.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, I suddenly sensed a brief presence.
Though it lasted only an instant, it couldn’t escape my sharp divine sense.
"Gathering intelligence?" I narrowed my eyes, guessing the purpose of that aura.
Of course, I wasn’t worried at all.
Because there was nothing special about the scenery here.
——
The man in the purple robe hiding in the shadows swept his gaze over the scene and sneered, "It would be a miracle if medicinal materials could emerge from this place!"
After saying this, he turned and returned to Ms. Zackary’s side.
"Ms. Zackary, I’ve checked, there’s nothing there," the man in the purple robe said.
"There’s nothing remarkable about the scene, and there’s no energy fluctuation, not at all like signs of treasures."
Hearing this, Ms. Zackary finally felt relieved.
"It seems I’ve overestimated The Noble Family!" Ms. Zackary squinted and said quietly.
——
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.
"Why haven’t the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials appeared yet?" the man with the mustache couldn’t help but complain.
I wasn’t in a hurry, closing my eyes slightly and saying quietly, "Let’s wait a bit longer."
The man with the mustache was anxious but had no other option.
——
Meanwhile, at Ms. Zackary’s location, a wave of herbal fragrance filled the air!
"Rumble..."
The ground suddenly began to shake! Spider-web-like cracks appeared before everyone!
"The medicinal materials are about to appear!" Ms. Zackary said excitedly.
Not just Ms. Zackary, everyone’s hearts were racing!
"Boom!"
Another loud roar! Then, a white burst of light shot into the sky!
——
Such a scene was clearly visible even to us!
"Did we get our position wrong?" The man with the mustache couldn’t help but frown.
I was also somewhat concerned.
This was my first attempt at calculating heavenly secrets, and it wasn’t impossible for errors to occur!
——
"Boom!"
From the east came eight flashes of light! Then, they saw an explosion-like brilliance in the sky!
"It’s the medicinal materials!" Ms. Zackary’s eyes narrowed, and she was thrilled!
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t contain their excitement. Some even rushed towards the medicinal materials!
Ms. Zackary narrowed her eyes and snorted, "The medicinal materials are mine, no one else can take them!"
Following that, Ms. Zackary leaped into action, and her several subordinates in purple robes followed closely behind!
"Boom!"
With a wave of Ms. Zackary’s hand, she directly killed a Marquis blocking her path!
"Whoever dares to compete with me will be an enemy of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!" Ms. Zackary warned.
Hearing this, everyone present’s faces changed slightly, and some even gave up on the spot.
The eight men in purple robes quickly cast techniques, producing chains from their palms!
These chains formed a large net, blocking everyone’s path!
Taking advantage of the situation, Ms. Zackary reached out and grabbed the medicinal materials in her hand!
The light dimmed, and she held a crystal-clear medicinal material in her hand.
Ms. Zackary played with the medicinal material and said calmly, "This medicinal material is mine."
Although everyone was unwilling, they didn’t dare to offend Ms. Zackary.
"Ms. Zackary, I was right in my predictions, wasn’t I?" Jean Tricia approached and said with a smile.
Ms. Zackary praised, "You have some ability, Master Tricia. Don’t worry, I won’t break my promise to you."
Jean Tricia quickly bowed, "Thank you, Ms. Zackary!"
Just as Ms. Zackary was celebrating her success, a Marquis suddenly approached her.
He looked at the medicinal material in Ms. Zackary’s hand and frowned, "Ms. Zackary, this doesn’t seem to be a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Material, does it?"
Ms. Zackary glanced at him and said, "What do you mean?"
The Marquis said, "I also know something about medicinal materials. Based on my experience, this is not a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Material at all, but a medicinal material around five thousand years old."
