CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 251: THE STRUGGLE FOR GAS EXTRACTION RIGHTS_2

Just now, Gengar had already detected the ultrasound signal reverberating from afar, but due to its long wavelength, it bypassed him directly.

But the next moment, the voice of the Barefoot Immortal came from the darkness.

"I see you, Gengar, stop hiding and come out quickly, or I’ll have to use biochemical weapons!"

"Oh no, Gengar, what do we do, he’s found you!" Gengar exclaimed in terror.

Gengar said coldly, "Don’t be foolish, this is a common trick in hide-and-seek, claiming they’ve seen someone. If they really saw me, they would’ve come over already."

Suddenly, the Barefoot Immortal appeared beside Gengar and said, "Gengar, I’ve caught you now, stop hiding. Let’s discuss the issue of gas resource extraction!"

Gengar was suddenly startled, "What, in this pitch dark, how did you know I’d be here?"

The Barefoot Immortal wiped Gengar’s body and instantly smeared a bunch of oily substance, saying, "Did you think that applying this inert oil would prevent my ultrasound detection?"

The Barefoot Immortal snorted coldly, "Did you even consider who taught me the detection wave cultivation technique, and you still thought you could escape my detection?"

Suddenly, Gengar hugged the Barefoot Immortal and shouted to Gengar, "Run! Quickly, leave this place!"

The Barefoot Immortal kicked Gengar away with a foot, then stomped one heavy foot after another toward Gengar.

He formed a terrifying collision force, pressing Gengar to the point of suffocation.

"Not good, his aura has immobilized me!"

The tumultuous foot Qi crisscrossed, rendering Gengar immobile in no time.

The Barefoot Immortal quickly reached Gengar, his smelly foot on Gengar’s head.

"Tell me, will you relinquish the gas extraction rights?"

"You’re dreaming; how could I possibly give you the extraction rights? I’d be left starving if I did!"

"Stop your futile resistance, or else I’ll forcibly extract your gas resources!"

In the face of Gengar’s resistance, the Barefoot Immortal remained resolute.

"This is the gas resource protection agreement of Beishan City, Anchan County. If you dare touch me, you’re opposing Marquis Anchan!"

Gengar actually took out a piece of paper.

Seeing this protection order, the Barefoot Immortal’s expression became complex.

Although Snow Dragon Mountain holds some power among the Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses, they dare not offend the forces of Anchan County.

Although Snow Dragon Mountain has hundreds of Wanxiang Zhenren, they aren’t even a pinky finger in the face of Anchan County.

Though he digressed, leading to a misstep, that’s not the point. The point is the Barefoot Immortal noticed that this piece of paper might be fake!

"No, important documents wouldn’t be double-sided photocopies; your document clearly has issues!" The Barefoot Immortal identified the problem.

Due to the double-sided photocopying, ink from the back seeped through to the front, and it also indicated that the quality of the paper was poor, very thin, insufficient to block water, not a document issued from Anchan County.

"In the future, before forging documents, could you use a laser printer? That would prevent ink seepage. Also, use better quality paper and avoid double-sided printing; the flaws are too obvious otherwise. Don’t make it seem like I’m easily fooled," said the Barefoot Immortal, feeling his intelligence insulted, making him instantly displeased.

"But this treaty is real!" Gengar said, "Not long ago, this storybook world encountered a merger with another dimension. From that dimension, a messenger came to discuss gas resource collection with me and just so happened to give me this document."

"What, I didn’t expect to not see any signs of deceit in your eyes; it must be true," the Barefoot Immortal was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Rosen and Meng Die had also arrived. Rosen, holding an extra-large magnifying glass, examined Gengar’s expression and said, "He has 108 wrinkles on his face, with only one wrinkle unnaturally twisted, indicating less than a 1% chance he’s lying, extremely low, practically considered truthful."

Meng Die said, "As we all know, when Gengar lies, wrinkles on his face act in concert, and among the 108 wrinkles, it’s impossible for one to act alone, since pulling one moves the entire body, adjacent wrinkles will also move."

After Meng Die’s analysis, Rosen became uncertain, "Hearing you say that, Gengar’s facial expression seems abnormal, appearing deliberately disguised?"

The Barefoot Immortal’s expression changed, because the special equipment just used detected a high probability that Gengar was concealing signs of a lie, which is worth noting.

This indicates that the protection order is probably fake.

As everyone exchanged glances.

Suddenly, whoosh, Gengar transformed into a black light and fled swiftly into the distant sky!

"Not good, he’s escaping!" The Barefoot Immortal’s expression immediately turned tense, transforming into a phantom of a large foot to chase after.

Meng Die transformed into a phantom butterfly, quickly following in pursuit.

Meanwhile, Rosen opened the ride-hailing app and called for a taxi, activating flight mode to chase after them.

Gengar’s flying speed was no match for Meng Die’s; she quickly intercepted Gengar, "Where are you going?!"

"Not good, encountered a tough opponent!" Realizing Meng Die could outpace Gengar, indeed she had some skills.

"Gas Impact!"

Gengar immediately activated his gas skill, releasing a large volume of gas to create an invisible black curtain, making it impossible for Meng Die to catch Gengar even if she found him.

When Rosen arrived, he saw that beneath the black curtain was already a horrific battle in progress.

The rideshare driver said, "Traffic ahead is chaotic; I’m afraid I can only drop you here."

"Alright." Rosen immediately chose to abandon the vehicle, opting to find other transportation for the last kilometer by renting a shared bicycle by the roadside.

After scanning the code, he pedaled furiously, giving chase.

Amid the swirling fog of the black curtain, the Barefoot Immortal arrived on the scene, witnessing the power of gas resources.

"This is the most natural fighting energy material; if I could freely extract gas resources, I’d never have to worry about foot Qi depletion. I could even reduce the daily use of 100 pairs of smelly socks to ferment foot Qi, saving on costs."

The Barefoot Immortal, planning shrewdly, almost shattered the abacus with one punch, using the shattered pieces as materials for making abacus-fried meat.

Meng Die found the Barefoot Immortal in the darkness and asked, "How’s it going? Have you found Gengar?"

The Barefoot Immortal opened his eyes and said, "I’ve already detected his position, he’s still in the black curtain."

Rosen just arrived and said, "I’m late. Could you tell me the current situation?"

Meng Die looked at Rosen’s scooter and said, "You’re on a scooter, no wonder you’re so slow."

Rosen said embarrassedly, "Can’t help it, there were no shared bikes along the way, had to use a scooter."

"Fighting Qi transforms into a horse!"

At this moment, the Barefoot Immortal unexpectedly unleashed his power, igniting the gas to produce a massive fighting Qi.

The fighting Qi formed a frenzied vortex, charging toward the target position.

Everywhere it passed, the gas was crushed and scattered.

Seeing this scene, Rosen and the others were shocked.

"Barefoot, I didn’t expect your fighting Qi transformation to become so much more powerful, it’s terrifying."

Hearing Rosen’s praise, the Barefoot Immortal scratched his head, blushing like a girl, bashfully said, "Actually, it’s not that much, just a little stronger than before."

"A tiny bit? Is that not enough for you? asked Rosen incredulously.

At this moment, Meng Die was severely injured. It turned out a mad horse was ramming into Meng Die.

She said, "Barefoot, quickly withdraw your fighting Qi transformation; it got infected with a mad horse virus in the gas, now it can no longer distinguish targets, it’s indiscriminate power!"

The Barefoot Immortal’s expression shook, "I didn’t expect there’d be a way to counter my fighting Qi transformation."
