Chapter 781: Chapter 781
The Japanese martial artists who came with Hattori Yumi also had their eyes turn red, revealing a look of greed.
"Miss Hattori, this treasure is worth at least several tens of billions. If we can transport it back to our country, it could greatly boost the development and growth of ’Kyokushinkai’ and the entire Hattori Clan!"
The Japanese martial artist standing next to Hattori Yumi, with a light beard, said excitedly as his eyes sparkled.
Hattori Yumi quickly regained her composure and said to the martial artist, "Ono, go and contact the other squads and have them gather around Flying Dragon Mountain. We’ll figure out a way to get these treasures back to our country as soon as possible!"
The Japanese martial artist named Ono turned and quickly walked out of the cave, preparing to make contact with other Hattori Clan martial artists who had secretly infiltrated Huaxia.
Hundreds of meters away from Deadman’s Valley, atop a mountain peak, Fang Bai, Dragon Maiden, and Long Shisan used several rocks for cover and closely monitored the movements of the dozen or so Japanese martial artists in Deadman’s Valley with high-powered binoculars in hand.
The three of them had been near Flying Dragon Mountain for some time now, and the entire process from Hattori Yumi and others discovering the cave entrance to entering the cave had not escaped their surveillance.
The three of them were very patient and didn’t rush to take action, waiting to see what Hattori Yumi and her group would find in the cave.
"There really is a cave in Deadman’s Valley! It seems that the treasure is real!"
Watching Hattori Yumi and the others enter the cave, Dragon Maiden said in a low voice, clearly excited.
"The treasure is real! But now we might face some trouble!"
Fang Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Ono emerge from the cave to contact the Japanese martial artists who had infiltrated Huaxia. He frowned and said.
"Instructor Fang, do those dozen or so people include a Heaven Level Martial Artist?"
Long Shisan asked, surprised by the mention of "trouble."
Long Shisan knew that Instructor Fang’s true strength had already surpassed that of the clan leader Long Jingtian, and the only ones who could trouble Instructor Fang were probably Heaven Level Martial Artists.
Fang Bai shook his head and said, "There aren’t any Heaven Level Martial Artists among those dozen or so people, but they are already calling for backup. I estimate their help won’t take long to arrive. When they do, dealing with them will definitely be more troublesome due to their large numbers!"
Dragon Maiden said, "That’s easy to handle. I will contact the leader immediately to send more Dragon Guard members over to help! Hmph, this is Huaxia, our home ground. Are we afraid we can’t handle those Japanese martial artists? Kyokushinkai, the Hattori Clan, our Dragon Guards have never taken them seriously!"
Fang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Good. Tell the leader to send as many Dragon Guards as possible, the faster the better... Also, during their journey here, everyone should be cautious to avoid alerting the enemy. The Hattori Clan martial artists who have infiltrated Huaxia this time must be numerous; we aim to catch them all in one go!"
"Alright, I will contact the leader now!"
Dragon Maiden moved aside and soon made contact with Long Jingtian. She reported the situation here in a low voice.
"Instructor Fang, the leader said that out of the 108 core members of the Dragon Guards, aside from those on missions, the remaining 86 have all been dispatched here. They will strive to gather near Flying Dragon Mountain within six hours and await your command!"
A moment later, Dragon Maiden returned to Fang Bai’s side and reported in a low voice.
Fang Bai nodded, his Divine Sense once again extending out, focusing on Hattori Yumi and the Japanese martial artists.
Inside the cave, Hattori Yumi and the others were carefully counting the treasure. After a rough estimate, they figured that if converted to the current market value, the treasures were approximately worth around thirty billion US dollars.
Three hundred billion US dollars, which is nearly two trillion Huaxia currency, such a sum of wealth is by no means a small amount for any faction, enough to compel them to exhaust all their efforts to obtain it.
"Three hundred billion US dollars..."
When Fang Bai overheard Hattori Yumi and the others in the cave discussing the value of the treasure, he was also somewhat astonished and murmured.
"Instructor Fang, what’s this about three hundred billion US dollars?"
The Dragon Maiden curiously asked.
Fang Bai said, "The treasure in that cave is worth approximately three hundred billion US dollars."
"That’s two trillion Huaxia currency!"
The Dragon Maiden gasped in shock.
"Such a vast sum of wealth, we absolutely cannot let those Japanese martial artists take it away!"
Long Shisan clenched his fists tightly and said resolutely.
At dusk, the Dragon Maiden received a message from Long Da, a member of the "Dragon Guard". He informed her that all eighty-six core members of the "Dragon Guard" had arrived and were awaiting Fang Bai’s orders.
Fang Bai instructed Long Da and the others to assemble at a secret location near Zhao Family Village and to stand by, cautioning them not to reveal their whereabouts lightly to avoid detection by the martial artists of the Hattori Clan. Meanwhile, he continued to monitor Hattori Yumi and her company alongside the Dragon Maiden and Long Shisan.
As night fell, figures in pairs or threes, like phantoms, began to appear near Flying Dragon Mountain and then gathered in Deadman’s Valley.
In just an hour or two, Deadman’s Valley was crowded with four or five hundred people, who were quietly discussing something in the Japanese language.
"So many people have come; it looks like the Hattori Clan has sent out all its elite forces this time!"
Fang Bai, watching the shadowy figures in Deadman’s Valley from a distant mountaintop, revealed a faint cold smile on his lips.
From the figures in Deadman’s Valley, Fang Bai sensed waves of Essence Energy and deduced that they were martial artists from the Japanese Hattori Clan.
The majority of those martial artists were Profound Level Martial Artists, with a few Earth Level Martial Artists. Leading the team was a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Hattori Jiro, the current head of the Hattori Clan who also served as the chairman of Kyokushinkai.
It could be said that to carry away the treasure from the cave, the Hattori Clan had almost dispatched all the force they could muster.
"Instructor Fang, when do we take action?"
The Dragon Maiden, holding a high-power telescope, could discern few details in Deadman’s Valley hundreds of meters away by the help of moonlight and the reflection off the snow, aware that many Japanese martial artists were gathered there.
Fang Bai’s gaze was burning as he stared at the entrance of the cave in Deadman’s Valley, saying, "When those Japanese martial artists transport the treasures out of the cave, that will be the time for us to choose our moment to act!"
Long Shisan laughed ’hehe’ and said, "That would be perfect! Let those Japanese martial artists serve as porters, delivering the treasure out of the mountain, and then we will have plenty of opportunities. It will also save us from the trouble of having to transport those treasures later on!"
A short while later, the hundreds of Japanese martial artists in Deadman’s Valley began entering the cave and, under the direction of Hattori Yumi, started to transport the treasures
