Chapter 1502: Chapter 1501: Testing You
The village is shrouded in smoke, clearly unaffected by the events of noon.
The car stops at the village square, and faced with curious villagers, Ling Feng steps out and asks, "Excuse , where is the Village Chief’s house?"
"Head east, it’s the one with the white gatehouse. Are you agents sent from above?" a young man in the courtyard asks.
Ling Feng smiles, "No, just regular investigators!"
After saying this, he and Lin Yu start heading east.
Despite what was said, the young man remains very curious and follows them.
Afterwards, more curious villagers step out of their hos and follow at a distance.
Ling Feng doesn’t mind, arriving at the Village Chief’s doorstep just as a middle-aged man steps out, he imdiately asks, "Excuse , are you the Village Chief?"
"That’s , are you from the security bureau?"
The middle-aged man steps out smiling and approaches, "Finally, you’re here. If you hadn’t co, everyone planned to stay at relatives’ hos tonight, not in the village!"
"Really? I thought nothing had happened."
Ling Feng chuckles and then asks, "Where did the incident occur?"
"Right over there!"
The Village Chief points to the slope opposite the village, "Do you see that? The largest crack among the yellow earth!"
"Oh, got it!"
Ling Feng nods and turns to head over, but the Village Chief quickly says, "Sir, there’s just the two of you. Better not go over there, it’s too frightening!"
"Is it?"
Ling Feng turns back, "Why is it frightening?"
"You’ll find out soon!"
Just as the Village Chief finishes speaking, an elongated roar suddenly echoes from the opposite slope!
The sound is loud, almost like the blast of a horn, truly astonishing!
"You heard it? We don’t even know what that big creature is, roaring in the ravine all afternoon. None of us dare to look, fearing it might co out at night to eat people!" the Village Chief says.
"Don’t worry, we’re here for this thing, we must go take a look!"
Ling Feng smiles, the distance is inadequate, and his Divine Sense can’t ascertain what’s within the yellow earth crevice, so he declines the Village Chief’s courtesy and steps toward the opposite side of the village with Lin Yu.
The curious villagers follow to the village entrance, then stop.
They thought a large group of warriors would co, but only two young people arrived, making everyone curious about who they are and why they are so brave?
Thinking there are people watching behind, Ling Feng maintains a leisurely pace, crossing the dry riverbed and reaching below the slope.
The distance is now sufficient, his Divine Sense enters the yellow earth crevice on the opposite side and perceives a massive black figure.
It’s a creature enveloped by a misty black aura, judging by its appearance, very much like a Giant Python.
However, imdiately after, Ling Feng spots sothing else beside the python, making him pause.
Seeing him halt, with surprise on his face, Lin Yu curiously asks, "What is it, Chief?"
"There’s an ancient tomb in that crevice!"
Ling Feng says briefly, turning to look at her, initially planning to suggest contacting Tao Ziqian to notify the local cultural relics departnt.
But reconsidering, he dismisses the idea, saying with a smile, "Never mind, let’s first go up and assess before deciding what to do."
The tomb is sizable, asuring several hundred square ters, seeming untouched, with burial items intact.
Perhaps the appearance of the Giant Python caused the earth to collapse, revealing the underground space.
Ling Feng isn’t interested in the tomb relics, his focus is on dealing with the python; calling the cultural relics departnt early would be pointless, best to resolve the danger first.
And hearing Ling Feng’s words, Lin Yu, following him up the hill, asks curiously, "Chief, we haven’t even reached the vicinity, how do you know all this?"
"This is my special ability!"
Ling Feng chuckles, without ntioning his Divine Sense.
Lin Yu decides against further inquiry, following him up the slope with curiosity.
By now, the sun is leaning west but hasn’t set yet, Ling Feng glances back at the village and finds the crowd hasn’t diminished, instead, it’s grown larger.
An oppressive crowd has gathered at the village head.
Seeing this, Ling Feng is sowhat speechless.
He doesn’t want to make it too grandiose, the thunder and lightning might frighten the villagers, so he decides to sit down on the slope.
Lin Yu: "...."
She’s a bit puzzled; they say there’s a giant python in the space below the crevice, yet Chief Ling remains calm?
"Let’s sit for a while, we’ll talk when it’s dark!"
Ling Feng laughs, pointing to the villagers below the hill, "I don’t want so many people watching."
"Oh."
Lin Yu understands, nodding, "Got it."
Sitting beside Ling Feng, silent for a mont, she suddenly says, "By the way, Chief, you really don’t need to worry about scaring those villagers, there’s actually another way to deal with that python below!"
"Is that so? What way?" Ling Feng looks at her and asks.
Lin Yu smiles and glances at him, "I rember last ti you said you subdued Tian Lian?"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng is perceptive, and with the reminder, he instantly understands!
So he nods, "Good idea!"
Imdiately, Ling Feng brings out Tian Lian from his bracelet.
Upon arrival and seeing the surroundings, Tian Lian asks with a start, "What is this place?"
"There’s so trouble here, I’m not in a position to check below, could you take a look for ?" Ling Feng asks.
Although not officially his follower yet, it’s essential to utilize when necessary, providing an opportunity to assess Tian Lian’s ability further.
Had Lin Yu not reminded him, Ling Feng would have forgotten her!
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Tian Lian hesitates briefly, "Well, I haven’t formally joined you yet."
"It’s a test for you, we’ve locked in the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, we’ll soon eliminate him. You joining
is inevitable, do you need to hesitate?" Ling Feng asks with displeasure.
Sensing his irritation, Tian Lian hastily nods, "Alright, I understand!"
After speaking, she glances at the crevice and steps in.
Ling Feng’s brows relax and his Divine Sense promptly locks onto her.
Tian Lian floats gracefully into the spacious tomb chamber, her gaze imdiately settling on the Giant Python shrouded in mist.
Ling Feng furrows his brow, wondering the outco if the two should clash, hoping the commotion isn’t too grand!
