Chapter 1853: Chapter 1852: Engine
The shadowy figure wasn’t completely controlled by the Mind Soul Art, but caught off guard, he was immobilized by Ling Feng with a swift point to his acupoint.
"Sneaking around, let’s see who you really are!"
Ling Feng said, reaching out to remove the mask from the black-clad individual’s face.
Upon seeing the person, he was imdiately stunned!
This was soone he indeed recognized, and it had been quite so ti since they’d last t.
So Ling Feng blurted out, "Why is it you?"
The person’s expression was peculiar, wanting to speak but unable to, so Ling Feng quickly released him from the acupoint immobilization: "Dick, how did you end up here?"
This was none other than the black-market trader he had dealt with before, Dick!
Since the Catherine incident, Ling Feng hadn’t seen him again.
Now seeing him suddenly, it was naturally quite baffling.
And now that Dick was free, he was at a loss for words, giving a wry smile, "I was going to ask you, Mr. Ling, how did you end up here?"
"I have my mission, of course, but you appearing so suddenly—were you behind that explosion over there?" Ling Feng asked.
Seeing a familiar face, Dick didn’t hide it: "It was !"
"Uh, so you didn’t know I was here and ca to our camp with similar intentions?" Ling Feng inquired.
Dick nodded readily, "That’s right!"
After speaking, he shifted his tone, "But now that you’re here, Mr. Ling, of course, I won’t make a move!"
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Is it because you know , or because you can’t beat ?"
"Definitely the forr!"
Dick chuckled and continued, "My task is to protect the engine from being discovered by those with ill intentions, but you, Mr. Ling, I trust completely!"
"What engine?"
Ling Feng widened his eyes, asking in astonishnt.
"You don’t even know why you’re here?"
Dick was also taken aback, asking with so surprise.
"All I know is there’s so treasure not far ahead, but I don’t know what it is!"
Ling Feng said, then asked, "From what you’re saying, it’s an engine?"
"That’s right!"
Dick nodded, "A curvature engine!"
"Uh, what’s that?"
Ling Feng was a bit confused by what he heard, asking in shock.
A woman’s voice ca through: "A curvature engine is sothing that physicists on Earth have imagined without evidence or ans to verify. With it, you could build special ships to travel in space disregarding distances!"
Li Tong, who had long noticed the situation outside and was eavesdropping on the conversation between Ling Feng and Dick from inside a tent, couldn’t help but step out.
After hearing her explanation, Ling Feng’s eyes widened instantly. He turned to look at Dick, "Wow, is this so alien high-tech?"
"Yes, I’m not sure where the curvature engine ca from, but the fact is, it’s been here for thousands of years!" Dick nodded.
Ling Feng looked at him, a huge question mark flashing in his eyes: "Who are you really?"
"Mr. Ling, now isn’t the ti to discuss this. That engine, placed in the jungle, is already badly damaged. My spatial equipnt isn’t large enough to take it, and since you’re here, you should be the one to take it!" Dick stated.
"Take it with you; this thing is even more valuable than Helium-3 technology and mustn’t fall into the hands of others!" Li Tong urged.
Ling Feng agreed but still felt so doubts in his heart, so he looked at Dick: "Who were those people you just took out?"
"Another group of treasure hunters," Dick replied.
Ling Feng nodded, "Do you know their background?"
Dick: "They were sent by Jack, the son of Her."
"I see!"
Squinting his eyes, several ideas flashed quickly through Ling Feng’s mind!
All his conversations with Dick and Li Tong were in Huaxia, which Nina couldn’t understand.
As for Her and his people, it’s likely the sa.
But this was not yet confird, so it was necessary to ensure they couldn’t understand it later on.
Afterwards, the matter concerning the curvature engine must remain strictly confidential, with not even a fourth person knowing about it on the South Arican continent!
So Ling Feng turned to Li Tong: "The plan has changed. Stay here and test everyone to see who understands Huaxia. If soone does, wait till I’m back to discuss!"
"Are you going now?" Li Tong asked.
"Ti is of the essence; find an excuse to stall Her by tomorrow morning. As for that engine, I’ve got to have it!" Ling Feng declared.
"Alright, I’ll take care of things here, go ahead!"
Seeing his seriousness, Li Tong nodded.
Ling Feng looked at Dick: "You’ve got so speed. What’s that movent technique?"
"Uh, if Mr. Ling wants
to take you to the destination, just say it directly; no need to beat around the bush!" Dick laughed.
"Alright, then I’ll be direct!"
Ling Feng chuckled, raising his eyebrows.
Dick gave a wry smile, reaching out to grab his hand: "Co with !"
Ling Feng barely moved before feeling a blur before his eyes, already transported into the jungle!
Then, the trees began retreating rapidly, feeling as if they were traveling several hundred ters exquisitely. If not for the absence of sonic booms, he would’ve thought they were moving at supersonic speed!
Just like this, ten minutes later, they reached the vicinity of their destination.
After stopping, Dick said to Ling Feng: "Here it is!"
The surroundings were pitch black, with only a vague outline revealing a huge bump in the grove covered in twigs and vines, seemingly a mix of weeds and climbing plants.
Expanding his Divine Sense, Ling Feng finally saw clearly; it was a massive cigar-shaped object!
In terms of size, it was similar to the German submarine he commandeered in the open sea last ti!
Such a huge entity wouldn’t fit in an ordinary spatial container!
Ling Feng nodded: "Dick, I owe you!"
"Thank yourself. Though I haven’t shown myself recently, I’ve been observing you all along. I trust in your character, Mr. Ling." Dick said.
Ling Feng didn’t dilly-dally, stepping up to the huge object, taking a deep breath, and touching it!
With a flash of white light, the enormous spaceship vanished instantly, causing the surrounding trees to groan and collapse without support!
Having secured the item, Ling Feng felt a weight lift off his chest.
He then turned to Dick: "We’ve only t twice, but your trust in
is rare. From now on, it doesn’t matter your identity or background, you’re my brother!"
"No need for formalities, Mr. Ling. If anyone on Earth can achieve greatness, I believe you’re the most qualified. Helping you is the sa as helping myself!" Dick laughed.
Ling Feng was curious: "What greatness are you talking about?"
