Chapter 83: Rune War Chariot
When they said this, Fu Long and the others came back to their senses. Even the two Rune Masters said so; it seemed this place was not something ordinary people could mine, no wonder Fang Hong and the others wanted to lure Lu Fan here.
"High-level? This has nothing to do with the melting method, and it wasn't even melted by a Rune Master at all!"
Lu Fan shook his head, directly denying it, making everyone surprised, all looking at him with curiosity.
He paced a few steps, then said faintly: "You look at the surroundings, the mine tunnels are crisscrossed, and it has indeed been mined. But the stone walls are all kinds of spirit ores gathered together, dense and dense. If I'm not mistaken, the ores that were easy to mine have been taken by predecessors, and these ores are just eye-catching and untouchable, having no other use!"
Everyone heard this and was slightly relieved. Such precious ores, the quantity was immeasurable, and no one would sit idly by. It seemed that those that could be mined had been taken, and the rest were stubborn stones that couldn't be moved.
"These can be put aside for now; the Rune Master ruin you mentioned before, I think it's not like this. Lead the way! I want to see it!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, looking calm, but it was unquestionable. Fang Hong and the others were shocked, didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly led the way in front.
This mine tunnel was relatively bright, and the spirit ores around were shining, dazzling the eyes. Qian Shirong and Ge Hui were still unwilling, pulling and pulling several times, and even using spirit tools to knock, but it was useless, and they could only give up.
"Master Qian, Master Ge, these spirit ores cannot be mined at all. Unless the two of you use the high-level methods of the Rune Dao, these things can only be looked at and touched, and have no other use."
Fang Hong turned his head and laughed at Qian Shirong and the other, but while speaking, his gaze shifted toward Lu Fan. He had studied this place long ago, and even invited high-level Rune Masters to look at it, but there was no way at all.
Qian Shirong and Ge Rui were only First-Tier Rune Masters, and he didn't expect the two of them to study anything. He said this just to secretly pry into Lu Fan's reaction.
The other party was not old, but had always been unfathomable. The news from Yuyang City was too shocking; maybe the other party really had a way.
"Cannot be mined? Then I am somewhat curious, what is going on with those missing miners? Since you discovered this place long ago, I think the so-called missing miners should be hidden here!"
Han Zhen smiled coldly, looking suspicious. He had been obsessed with this before, but now that he had come back to his senses, his mind was active. Combining all the information, he had already noticed the abnormality.
"Hmph! I am also somewhat curious, these guys are mysterious, and even attacked me, what exactly is the intention?"
Fu Long snorted coldly, looking hateful. Anyone who had their freedom restricted and was imprisoned for a few days would definitely not feel comfortable.
Fang Hong and the others' expressions changed upon hearing this, their hearts beating wildly, and their footsteps couldn't help but speed up. It seemed there was something in front that could calm people's hearts and be relied upon.
Lu Fan didn't care about the strangeness of these few people at all. Leisurely, nonchalant, as if sightseeing, very peaceful.
Suddenly, a light appeared in front, much brighter than the shining points around, as if walking to the end of the cave and seeing the sun again.
"Here, here! In front is the Rune Master ruin!"
Fang Hong and the others shouted happily, their steps suddenly opened, walking with the wind, not at all like their pot-bellied appearance.
The mine tunnel was already bright, but now it spread to both sides, and in front was a hall of more than a hundred feet in radius. The lights were bright, and one after another, the art refining eternal lamps illuminated the entire hall.
There were many strange-shaped tools around, and some mysterious auras remained on them, which were the power of rune arrays, and they were indeed things of Rune Masters.
However, the most eye-catching was a war chariot-type rune tool in the center of the hall, ten feet wide, with treasure light shining, and an awe-inspiring aura. Even from such a distance, one could feel the immeasurable and powerful might on it.
"This is a Rune War Chariot?" Zhu Ge Qing Ming looked in disbelief; he hadn't expected to see a Rune War Chariot here. He had been a peak Sixth-Tier Rune Venerable in his previous life, but he had never owned a Rune War Chariot.
"Rune War Chariot? No way! I, Qian Shirong, actually saw a Rune War Chariot with my own eyes; how is this possible?"
Qian Shirong stared wide-eyed, as if dreaming. As for Ge Rui, he was completely stunned and couldn't speak at all.
Lu Fan smiled slightly, glanced at it briefly, and said faintly: "It is indeed a Fifth-Tier Large Profound Tool, Rune War Chariot!"
His words were very relaxed, but in the ears of others, it was like thunder, shocking beyond words.
Lu Fan had stirred up a shocking trend in the Mingyue Empire and stood at the forefront of the storm by relying on a Fourth-Tier Profound Tool, Art Refining Crystal Furnace. This was a Fifth-Tier Large Profound Tool, almost equivalent to a mobile Fifth-Tier array, both offensive and defensive. If its power were fully unleashed, no one in the Mingyue Empire could stop it, and there was nowhere it couldn't go.
"So this is a Rune War Chariot!" Han Zhen was not a Rune Master and didn't have a deep understanding, but he also heard that this thing was extraordinary, and said happily: "Young Master Lu, the other day at the Rune Master Guild, someone suggested that your rune refining ore cart was similar to this thing; is there any connection between the two?"
The rune refining ore cart was only a First-Tier Spirit Tool and didn't count for much. But in Han Zhen's eyes, it was an extraordinary thing, and he could even use it to get a glimpse of the control of Shanjin Town. Since this thing was a Rune War Chariot and appeared in such a place, maybe it had some effect on mining!
Lu Fan smiled lightly, shook his head, and said: "Han Zhen, although these two are somewhat similar, it's not what you think!" He saw through Han Zhen's thoughts at a glance; this guy could associate everything with mining, and then involve business.
If he could transfer this energy to Martial Dao, his achievements in the future would not be small. But the other party had no interest in Martial Dao, so he naturally wouldn't force it. Business was actually quite good; all paths lead to the same destination. His achievements in the future would also be very powerful, and Lu Fan wouldn't underestimate it at all.
"The rune refining ore cart just uses the way of the array to imitate human mining, which doesn't count for much. This Fifth-Tier Rune War Chariot, as long as it comes out, can be called the heavy weapon of the Mingyue Empire, crushing all forces in the empire!"
Zhu Ge Qing Ming explained to Han Zhen. His words were simple, but his tone was not small, and his aura was sufficient, shocking Han Zhen so much that he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Hmm! It can be said so!" Lu Fan nodded and added: "As long as the driving method is appropriate, one can even use the power of this Rune War Chariot to blast open the Sacred Martial Hall's Great True Yang Burning Heaven Array. This Mingyue Empire cannot resist it, and even the Longxiang Dynasty, the suzerain state, doesn't have many forces that can possess such things."
These words were very clear, and everyone present understood. Zhu Ge Qing Ming and other Rune Masters were naturally shocked and sighed, and even had a trace of respect. After all, it was a Fifth-Tier Large Profound Tool, and it was difficult for a Sixth-Tier Rune Venerable to refine it.
As for Fang Hong and the others, they were wild with joy. But they didn't have greed when looking at the Rune War Chariot, clearly the source of their excitement was not here at all.
"Hehe!" Lu Fan laughed strangely and said to Fang Hong: "You guys really gave me a big gift." He looked at the other party meaningfully, then flashed his body, and actually appeared in front of the Rune War Chariot.
Suddenly, a light screen lit up, instantly turning into a protective cover, shrouding the entire Rune War Chariot, seemingly isolating it from the outside world.
"What is going on? Is this Rune War Chariot always running?"
Zhu Ge Qing Ming looked in disbelief; he hadn't expected the situation before him at all. Rune tools, unless they reached the level of treasure tools and were born with spirituality, would not trigger themselves, and generally would not have such changes without someone controlling them.
"How is this possible? The appearance of this place clearly shows it has been abandoned for a long time, and it wouldn't be strange even if it were for thousands of years. Even if it were an array, the array control source energy should have collapsed. How could it still be running?"
Ge Hui and Qian Shirong spoke together; this was the most basic reaction of a Rune Master, and they all looked strange.
Lu Fan touched the light screen with his hands, and the resistance came continuously. With his current strength, he couldn't think of a way to crack it.
"A Fifth-Tier Large Profound Tool that triggers itself is equivalent to a Fifth-Tier forbidden array that is slowly running. The Sacred Martial Hall's branch in the Mingyue Empire only has a Fifth-Tier Great True Yang Burning Heaven Array, and its power is at most at this level!"
He frowned, and said this in his mouth. Everyone's expressions changed, shocked and fearful, and they couldn't help but retreat two steps, fearing that triggering the power of the Profound Tool would cause a backlash and lead to their death.
"Young Master Lu, why don't you try cutting off the array source supply? This war chariot has been placed here for a long time, and there must be a separate supply array source."
Zhu Ge Qing Ming reminded nervously; although he had the insight of a Rune Venerable, his current divine soul was lacking, and he was sealed by Lu Fan, unable to use any Rune Dao methods at all.
"This is definitely not possible. The structure of the Rune War Chariot is special. Once the defensive light screen is opened, outsiders cannot move anything inside. As for the supply array source you mentioned, it is also inside the light screen. Unless this light screen is removed, it can only be broken by force!"
His words were light, but everyone's expressions were stern, and they smiled bitterly. How could the power of a Fifth-Tier forbidden array be broken by force? At least there was no such person in the Mingyue Empire.
"Actually, it's not impossible. This light screen will be removed after a period of time. Just find some mortals, and you can enter silently."
Lu Fan changed the subject, looked at Fang Hong and the others with a smile, and said faintly: "The missing miners were just like this, right? You mortals can actually think of such means; it seems there is an expert pointing it out, let him come out!"
As soon as Lu Fan's voice fell, Fang Hong and the others' expressions changed greatly, shocked beyond words, and panic was written all over their faces.
Zhu Ge Qing Ming and the others came back to their senses, and they also stared at Fang Hong with ill intent, True Qi and Spiritual Power stimulated, seemingly about to attack and take the other party down in the next moment.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Just at this moment, a fluctuation flashed in a corner of the hall, and a young man in black appeared, with more than a dozen burly men behind him, clearly having been lurking here for a long time!
"Hmm! The rumors are not false; you brat is not old, but your methods are truly not simple. I didn't expect that I, Qin Feng, would leave home for a few years, and my Mingyue Empire would really produce a powerful person!"
Qin Feng walked out with his hands behind his back, his aura majestic, but in the eyes of others, it was hazy. Either he practiced a special technique, or he carried a strange treasure to cover his aura.
Fu Long was slightly shocked, seemingly recognizing the other party, and immediately looked hateful, fiercely saying to Fang Hong and the others: "Damn! It really is you guys playing tricks. We in Shanjin Town have always been united against a common enemy, hugging for warmth, and now you guys actually defected to the Qin family, this is to abandon our Shanjin Town foundation and be someone else's running dog!"
His face was gloomy to the extreme, the humiliation and unwillingness of the past few days welled up in his heart, and it was bitter.
"Hmph! You are Fu Long, truly stubborn. Fortunately, Fang Hong planned early and took you down in advance, otherwise you would definitely have ruined my big event!"
Qin Feng let out a cold snort, his face sinking, and a pressing might squeezed over. Fu Long could not bear it at all, trembling and swaying, his knees buckling, about to kneel.
"Qin family, you are one of the four great families of my Mingyue Empire, the eldest son of the Qin family Patriarch, Qin Feng?" ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
