The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 604: Chapter 604 Isn’t This Treasure Hunting Method Too Inferior?_1

At the foot of the mountain was a lake, connected to the river Carson Flores had just passed, which was now completely frozen.

Above the frozen lake, there were many people bustling back and forth across the frozen surface.

Carson Flores was a bit dazed. So many people?

Gathering for a market?

”Bang!”

Someone punched down, shattering the ice and creating a huge hole with ice splinters flying.

Innate Grandmasters!

After punching, the person sat down cross-legged to rest and recuperate, while the crowd nearby started shoveling all the ice fragments into a large frame and quickly carried it away to a distance before dumping it out.

Once the ice from the large hole was cleaned up, the resting man stood up again, punched down once more, and the people around him resumed their cleaning duties.

What Carson Flores saw was just one of the many workgroups. They were organized and purposeful, continuously breaking through the ice layer and then carrying away all the ice blocks, like busy ants.

Holy shit, these people are manually shattering the entire lake’s frozen ice!

Not to mention the person who punched, even those people wielding shovels and carrying baskets were moving swiftly and had immense strength. Apparently, they were all skilled Cultivators!

Looking for a needle in a haystack?

Carson Flores was astonished.

Could they really find it?

His gaze swept over the edge of the lake to the shore where a camp was set up. Along the edge of the camp was a long row of pots, cooking food.

Who is the organizer?

Could it be the Cultivators from the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens?

If it were them, wouldn’t their method of searching for magical treasures be a bit too low-level?

After all, they’re Cultivators. Don’t they have any impressive treasure-locating magical treasures that they need to resort to such primitive means?

Carson Flores’s gaze passed over to the center of the camp where there was a small table with three people leisurely drinking tea—a middle-aged man, a young man, a beautiful young woman, and a white-haired elder.

Carson Flores’s eyes landed on the white-haired elder, and he was quite surprised.

Kaenu Hail!

This white-haired elder was actually the strongest man in Kyushu, Kaenu Hail!

Carson Flores’s gaze swiftly returned to the other three people. These three people, despite their young ages, could actually sit on an equal footing with Kaenu Hail. Could it be that they were the Cultivators from the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens?

Carson Flores had many questions in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he took out his prepared disguise items from his Space Ring and gave himself a simple yet effective disguise.

Half an hour later, the handsome and sunny Carson Flores had turned into a middle-aged, silver-haired man with a yellowish complexion and a beard.

He packed up his things and headed down the mountain.

No sooner had he appeared than someone noticed him, and a middle-aged man with an armband stopped him.

”Who are you, and where do you come from?”

Carson Flores made up a story, ”My name is Alec Cash, from New Sea. I heard there was a chance at immortality here, so I came over to take a look.”

The middle-aged man sized up Carson Flores, continuing to inquire, ”What’s your strength level?”

”Innate Great Grandmaster.”

The middle-aged man’s previously indifferent expression finally became a bit more serious, ”This area has been divided into a restricted zone. Either you leave this place and search for your own fortune, or you join a search team. We’ll assign you to a clean-up team, and if your team finds a treasure, the whole team will be rewarded with entry into The Unknown Land.”

Carson Flores was surprised, ”The whole team can enter?”

”Yes, all of them!”

The middle-aged man asked, ”Leave, or stay?”

Carson Flores curiously asked, ”Why are all these people gathered here? Is there someone from The Unknown Land in charge? Aren’t they all powerful beings with great abilities? Why the need for such an approach?”

This middle-aged man was apparently just an ordinary Cultivator tasked with guarding the place. Perhaps because Carson Flores was an Innate Great Grandmaster, the man was fairly patient with him.

”They say the Spiritual Energy in the human world is sparse, and overwhelming methods can’t be used. Moreover, the lake is now frozen into a single entity, disrupting the sensing of Spiritual Energy, making it impossible to discern the exact location of the treasure. But if we empty the ice layer, even if the treasure is hidden underground, they’ll be able to find it.”

Carson Flores suddenly understood. No wonder so many Cultivators were digging like Yu Gong who attempted to move the mountain.

It’s as Shirley Miller said, when Cultivators come to the human world, many of their methods become useless, and in some aspects, they are even less capable than human world Cultivators.

This might also be the best protection the Heavenly Dao has provided for the human world, otherwise, just a few Cultivators coming out could dominate and wreak havoc, and if they went mad and started fighting, wouldn’t they shatter mountains and rivers?

”What does dividing the area mean, and who did the division? Are there more than one Unknown Land here?”

The middle-aged man answered, ”Yes, three have come. They are the Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain, the Northern Long Mountain Sanctuary, and the Spiritual Ruin Blessed Land. After deliberation, they divided the whole lake into three parts, blindly chose one each, and organized people to excavate. Whichever area the treasure is found in, will belong to them. This area belongs to the Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain.”

Carson Flores’s mind raced, and then he promptly and decisively agreed, ”I will stay!”
