Chapter 1268 Confirming the Jade Mine!

"Virus?"

Luoyun was slightly stunned when he heard the voice coming from the headset. Then he turned his head and looked around with a puzzled look, only to find that everyone around him was at a loss and had no idea what was going on.

In particular, the people who followed him were even more confused.

They had no idea what had happened.

Luoyun had wanted to ask more questions. However, the line in the earphone went dead.

Meanwhile…

With no other options…

Luoyun could only return the earphone to the man in biochemical protective clothes who stood before him. Then, he led his group to follow the man as they obediently accepted the quarantine orders.

Before he left…

Luoyun turned around and took a look.

He saw that not only them but all the people on their flight were also taken away.

This unusual scene…

It made Luoyun even more puzzled.

He didn't notice any other strange incidents that happened during the last few days. Besides, how could there be any virus in their bodies?

But…

Since it was an order from above, he could only choose to obey.

In Africo…

Early the following day…

In the woods outside Kairo…

At daybreak, the people of the primitive tribe got up and prepared to leave.

"Chief."

Fang Qiu, sitting cross-legged, also woke up from his meditation.

After a night of careful observation of the black matter, he still hadn't found any valuable clues.

But…

Fang Qiu also thought about it a lot.

For example…

They got this black substance from the Pharaoh relic. The area with the black fog appeared to be very strange and unique and this was when this peculiar substance invaded their bodies. Fang Qiu was pretty sure about that.

Other than those who had entered the ancient ruin, only the primitive tribe had some connection to this Pharaoh relic.

After all…

The map from the chief did help Fang Qiu overcome a lot of problems during his treasure-hunting trip. In particular, with this map, the Huaxia team suffered few casualties when they passed through the maze.

"Mr. Well Known."

Hearing Fang Qiu's call, the chief of the primitive tribe came over right away. He looked at Fang Qiu curiously and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"I want to ask you something."

Fang Qiu nodded gently and asked, "Have you heard of the Pharaoh's curse?"

"The Pharaoh's curse?"

The chief was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. In my entire life, the parchment handed down through successive generations in my tribe is the only thing I've learned about the Pharaoh. Except for that scroll, I've never heard of any more things related to the Pharaoh."

"Pharaohs indeed have existed in the history of our country. However, for us living in modern times, Pharaohs are nothing but a myth. Just like you, ordinary people in our country are also very unfamiliar with Pharaohs, let alone the curse of the Pharaoh."

When Fang Qiu heard what he said…

He nodded with understanding.

Indeed…

There was nothing wrong with the chief's words.

Ordinary people in Huaxia didn't know about the legends of Wulin. Just like them, common people from various countries were also unfamiliar with the legends of their countries. Even if they had heard them countless times, they would have no impression of these things in the legends because ordinary people had no way to look into them.

Only a few might acquire some knowledge, but it was largely hearsay.

"It seems I can only rely on myself."

Fang Qiu sighed inwardly.

"Why did you ask this question?"

The chief looked at Fang Qiu from head to toe with a puzzled face and asked, "Does the Pharaoh's curse exist for real?"

"Nothing serious."

Fang Qiu smiled, shook his head, and said, "I'm just curious about it, so I asked."

"That's right. We're now living in the modern world."

The chief nodded understandingly and said, "Pharaohs have been dead for hundreds or thousands of years. How could there be any curses? Haha."

After that…

The clan members finished packing.

"Will you go through Kairo?"

Fang Qiu asked.

"No."

The chief shook his head and said, "Although we have been working hard to adapt to modern lives, it's still too early. When we pass through the city, many people will be very wary of us. It would not do my people any good. We plan to go along the river and go back the way we came here."

"Okay."

Fang Qiu nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

The chief expressed his gratitude to him.

He knew Fang Qiu was going along so he could protect them.

Otherwise, Fang Qiu wouldn't have asked this question and he needn't come personally from such a far distance. He merely needed to send someone to inform them.

Fang Qiu wouldn't go with them if they chose to go across the city. After all, as long as they entered the city, they would be protected by the government.

They started the journey.

Fang Qiu followed them as the primitive tribe set off.

They kept walking along the flow of the river.

Everyone walked for an entire day.

The primitive tribe bypassed Kairo and returned to their original place.

Right now…

Their original living place looked deserted. Not a single person was there.

Back at their home…

The chief thanked Fang Qiu.

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Fang Qiu was very relieved.

After a short break…

Fang Qiu waited till midnight…

He left the primitive tribe, walked into the grassland, and took out his phone to text Li Ji.

"Send me the detailed location information."

He sent a simple text message.

Soon…

Li Ji's reply came.

He opened it and saw a 3D picture.

It recorded Fang Qiu's location and his trail while he was in the relic.

He checked the information against the map.

Soon, Fang Qiu found the location.

He walked all the way forward.

Under cover of the night, Fang Qiu quickly sneaked to the site.

Here…

It was still a vast grassland.

Moreover, it was a flourishing grassland.

The grass on the ground was knee-high.

"This spot is the deepest part of the ancient relic."

After confirming the position, Fang Qiu began to calculate the distance.

"If it's a relic like those in Huaxia, everything I saw in the ruin should be illusions, but the king cobra was real. Maybe there is a palace relic under this place."

An idea flashed across his mind.

Fang Qiu immediately started digging.

It turned out that…

As soon as he dug for 15 or 16 meters, he reached a space.

With a plop, Fang Qiu fell into it and found there was indeed a space underground.

This underground space was very similar to the one in the ruin. The only difference was that all the things in the ancient ruin were complete, including passages, various murals, and statues.

But what lay before Fang Qiu…

Everything was smashed or broken, the passageways, murals, etc.

At one glance, this place seemed to have undergone a thousand years of hardship.

In the meantime…

Fang Qiu also saw a giant palace.

Like in the ancient ruin, there were also snake skins here, but they were natural snake skins, not hard shells similar to a stone pillar inside the ruin!

In particular…

The entire palace was shocked. Not a single legendary luminous pearl was in sight. It was dark everywhere. There was no corridor leading further into the palace's hall. On the contrary, this whole place, in Fang Qiu's eyes, was already the innermost part of the ancient ruin.

Not far from the pool before the palace was an altar.

It seemed that…

This was the authentic relic.

It was like those ancient relics in Huaxia — what he saw before was just an illusion!

"This is the location."

"In other words, if the jade mine exists, it will be right below!"

Fang Qiu looked down.

Then he started digging.

He even used his Divine Sword.

"Got it!"

After digging for a while, Fang Qiu unearthed a jade piece underground. Then, as he reached deeper, he uncovered more jade pieces.

This time…

Fang Qiu was thrilled.

Right at this moment…

"Hmm?"

Fang Qiu was observing the surroundings with his Divine Consciousness when suddenly he heard a commotion outside.

When he was in this critical situation, he had a brainwave.

He immediately rushed up. With a wave of his hand, he activated his internal Qi, filled all the soil he dug out back into the hole, and sealed it instantly.

Then…

He squatted down instantly.

With the help of his Divine Consciousness, he could see the coming figure.

This person looked sly and furtive.

He seemed to be checking around to see if there was anyone around.

"Could it be that he also discovered the secret?"

A sudden idea seized Fang Qiu.

He couldn't help murmuring in his heart.

It shouldn't be like this. If anyone had found the relic below, others would have started digging long ago. Why would they have waited until now?

Then, why would this person sneak around this place?

Since Fang Qiu had confirmed that there was a jade mine below, he felt he had to stay and search around for a few more days.

At the very least, he had to find out who this furtive person was.

Otherwise…

After he left, the jade mine might be totally excavated by the time he returned.

He couldn't take this risk!

Fang Qiu observed for a while.

As soon as the man left, he quietly followed up.

Afterward…

Fang Qiu walked after him for a long time.

He found that the man ran to a restricted military area in Egyptt.

Knowing that it was a restricted military area ahead, Fang Qiu didn't chase after him blindly. He just strolled around its periphery. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he turned back.

"It looks like he was sent here by the Egyptt government because they wanted to see if anyone else was there."

"After all, treasures in their country's ancient relic have been snatched away, and their gurus have been beaten to unconsciousness. Those Egyptt officials must have been simmering with anger."

At this thought…

Fang Qiu returned to his previous location and carefully restored the terrain.

He was completely sure.

The Egyptt government didn't know about the existence of the underground relic. They wouldn't have secretly sent someone to check it if they had known it. Instead, they would have classified this place as a restricted military area and started mining.

"The Egyptt government doesn't know about the existence of the underground ruin, but they must have been paying attention to this matter since they sent people to investigate secretly. So, they will go on watching this place in the near future."

"It seems I can't come back in the following few days."

"I can only wait a while before returning to mine."

Fang Qiu murmured to himself and left the place quickly.

He chose a direction.

Fang Qiu planned to return home from another city. He couldn't leave Egyptt from Kairo or the city where Luo Yun and others took the plane. The airport there must have been monitored by Egyptian officials.

Therefore, Fang Qiu could only find another safe city to take his leave.

However, halfway there…

Fang Qiu's cell phone suddenly rang.
