Chapter 515 The Reward is Lost
Not long after, he suddenly raised his head, a gleam of alertness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at several people and shouted in an anxious tone.
"Wait, I feel like something is wrong. Big sister, let's go check the prize, the box that holds the Eye of God. Traveler, come with us and take a look."
After saying that, Fengyuan Manye turned around and walked towards the back of the venue without hesitation. His intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed, and the Eye of God might be the key. With his keen perception of nature and years of adventure experience, he sensed a hint of something unusual, as if there was an invisible hand behind the scenes controlling everything.
Beidou saw this, although she felt a little confused, but she followed him without hesitation. She had a certain trust in Fengyuan Manye and knew that he must have a reason for his actions.
Fengyuan Manye has been in the world for many years and has rich experience and keen insight. His judgment is often trustworthy.
When the three saw that Beidou and Fengyuan Manye had left, they looked at each other, nodded, and followed them.
Naturally, today's matter should be ended as soon as possible, but Sora and Paimon really couldn't understand why they had to check the Eye of God. Could someone have stolen it?
In their opinion, although the Eye of God is precious, no one should dare to steal it in public.
The five of them came to the place where the Eye of God was stored. Looking at the box quietly placed there, and someone in charge of guarding it, Fengyuan Manye took the lead and gently opened the lid. His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. He looked so cautious, as if he was touching an extremely precious treasure.
However, the moment he opened the lid, a look of "as expected" appeared on his face. Everyone was puzzled, and Beidou walked forward and looked down into the box. "Let me see..." When she saw that the box was empty, the surprise on her face was beyond words, "Hmm... the Eye of God disappeared." Beidou's voice was full of shock. As an important prize of this martial arts competition, the Eye of God had been well kept, but now it disappeared out of thin air, which was beyond her expectation.
Paimong heard what Beidou said and couldn't help but cry out: "Was it stolen? How could there be such a person in broad daylight to steal things?" How could it really be stolen? Who would have nothing better to do than steal this? Although the ownerless God's Eye is indeed very rare, Paimong felt very speechless for a moment. How could it come true just by thinking about it casually? Paimong's little mouth opened wide, her face full of disbelief. She kept flying in the air, waving her hands, expressing her surprise and anger.
After hearing what Paimon said, Beidou shook his head helplessly, "Besides, I don't know when the act took place..." At this point, Beidou's eyes were burning with anger. "Haha, I really didn't expect that someone would dare to take advantage of me when I was in high spirits." As he spoke, Beidou clenched his fists, and the joints made crisp sounds, as if he had the urge to cut the thief into pieces. Beidou's personality was bold and straightforward, and he couldn't stand this kind of sneaky behavior. Now that he was being plotted against, he was naturally furious.
Fengyuan Manye heard Beidou's words and saw that Beidou was about to burst out in anger, so he spoke quickly. "Don't be too anxious. No matter how skilled he is, it is difficult to escape the eyes of nature. Well... the thief should have just succeeded and has not escaped far. Since the Eye of God is the prize I promised, it is of course my responsibility for not taking good care of it. I will definitely find it back." Fengyuan Manye's voice was steady and firm. He was full of confidence in his ability, and at the same time he was trying to calm Beidou's emotions. He knew that Beidou's anger at the moment would only affect his judgment and was not conducive to the resolution of the matter, so he tried to calm her down.
Hearing Fengyuan Manye say that he would take action himself, Beidou could only respond helplessly. "Well, since you said so, then let's deal with it this way..." At this point, there was no point in saying more. The most urgent thing was to give an explanation to the audience and explain the matter. "I need to stay here and give an explanation to those who came to watch the martial arts competition. You just go ahead." After saying that, Beidou turned and walked towards the people outside the venue. Her steps were firm. Although she was angry in her heart, as the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, she had to remain calm and properly handle the situation at hand.
After seeing Beidou leave, Fengyuan Manye stared at Kong and said, "By the way, travelers, do you want to come with me? After all, one more person means one more help. If you encounter a bottleneck, I can also ask for your advice."
Fengyuan Manye hopes that Kong and others can go together. He knows that Kong has rich adventure experience and may provide some unexpected help in the process of pursuing the Eye of God. Kong has faced various difficulties and challenges in his adventures in various places and has accumulated a lot of valuable experience and coping methods. In addition, Paimon and Lin Feng also have their own characteristics. Their joining may make the whole tracking process smoother.
Hearing what Fengyuan Manye said, Kong could only shrug helplessly. "It's really helpless. Even if I don't want to go, it's not feasible. Anyway, my opponent is not coming, so I'll go with you." Kong was still struggling with the competition, and now this sudden situation forced him to change his plan. He was also full of curiosity about the theft of the Eye of God and wanted to find out the truth behind it. He developed the habit of digging deep into the matter during his adventures, and was always full of desire to explore such mysterious events.
Lin Feng nodded in agreement. "That's right. There's nothing to do here anyway. Why don't we go with him? We must catch the thief who stole the Eye of God." Lin Feng's eyes were gleaming with eagerness. He was very interested in this matter.
Seeing Kong and Lin Feng express their opinions, Paimeng looked around. The empty Guili Plain, with grass swaying gently in the breeze, gave people a feeling of emptiness and loneliness, which made her feel at a loss for a moment. "But this is a plain. If we chase, where should we chase?" Paimeng frowned, her little face full of confusion. She looked at the endless plain, her heart full of doubts, and she had no idea where to start. In this flat and open area, there were no obvious clues and directions. The thieves could flee in any direction, which made tracking difficult.
