Chapter 2165: Chapter 2164: The Woman in White
Although they couldn’t fly, Ling Feng and Amaterasu walked at a brisk pace, so it wasn’t long before they reached the edge of the Endless Forest.
In front were towering trees, all of which were species Ling Feng had never seen before. Each one was dozens or even hundreds of ters tall, with straight trunks and lush crowns, their branches connecting to block the sky, making the forest interior dark and with low visibility.
Ling Feng tried to use his Divine Sense to scan, but unexpectedly found that the Divine Sense couldn’t be used here, causing him to be montarily stunned!
"These trees possess a special kind of energy, perhaps it’s blocking your Divine Sense," Amaterasu said.
"Oh."
Ling Feng nodded upon hearing this, then said, "In that case, let’s move forward by feeling our way."
As they stepped into the forest, a refreshing coolness enveloped them, feeling quite comfortable.
Moreover, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, though it was unclear where it ca from.
Although the Lord of the Blue Sea had warned that the forest wasn’t as peaceful as it seed, with hidden dangers.
But he also ntioned that the creatures here were aggressive but wouldn’t cause Ling Feng too much trouble as long as one was cautious.
Walking in the forest for an hour, Ling Feng and Amaterasu gradually ventured into the depths of the woods, yet encountered no animals, not even a single bird.
Neither wanted to waste too much ti on the road, so they continued swiftly through the dense forest, their two figures fleeting between the trees like the wind.
After traveling for several hours without seeing the forest’s end, Ling Feng finally slowed down and stopped in a clearing in the forest.
"No wonder it’s called the Endless Forest; we’ve traversed at least two hundred kiloters and still haven’t reached the end," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"Since the Lord of the Blue Sea ntioned that there would be an ocean at the end, we’ll reach it eventually," Amaterasu said.
"Well, but there’s no need to hurry too much; let’s slow down a bit so we don’t miss the beautiful scenery around us."
Ling Feng chuckled, turned to look at the towering trees around him, and patted a tree trunk with his hand: "This is so high-quality timber!"
"You currently don’t lack building materials, why bother about this?" Amaterasu asked.
"I want to get my hands on good stuff!"
Ling Feng laughed and then said, "Seeing such good wood, it feels like a waste not to pocket it myself."
"Let’s focus on the Rift Sky Sword first, don’t mix up priorities."
Amaterasu sniffed and said, "I think I sll the sea breeze; we should see the coast not far ahead."
"Alright, let’s keep moving."
Ling Feng nodded, and the two leaped forward with their fastest speed.
Twenty minutes later, the scent of the sea breeze grew stronger, and the trees ahead began to thin out. Shortly after, Ling Feng caught sight of a patch of blue between the trees.
In an instant, they reached the coast, and as they stopped, Ling Feng was stunned, and Amaterasu was montarily surprised.
They saw many people at the seaside, dragging a boat, pulling it towards the shore!
The scene was a bit odd; those people dressed in tattered clothes and had dark skin, looking like primitive people living in the forest. Although the boat was wooden, it was quite large, not counting the mast, it stood five or six ters high.
The people were silently pulling on ropes without noticing Ling Feng and Amaterasu erging from the forest.
The two exchanged a glance, and Ling Feng quickly asked Tian Lian, "Let the Lord of the Blue Sea co out and see, what’s going on here?"
Tian Lian replied, "Master, Blue Sea says he doesn’t want to co out. These people are indeed natives of the Endless Forest, a rather primitive and wild tribe, we can ignore them."
"Oh, then what’s up with the boat?" Ling Feng asked.
"Blue Sea says it might be a boat that encountered a storm at sea and was washed ashore by the waves," Tian Lian said.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded, thinking it over and decided to let it be.
He had no interest in interacting with a group of primitive people and planned to continue on his way, but just as he was about to leave, he saw a red object flash on the wooden boat!
Upon closer inspection, Ling Feng realized it was soone waving a piece of cloth from their hand.
Rembering that his Divine Sense should be usable now outside the forest, Ling Feng imdiately activated his Divine Sense to scan.
He discovered that the boat had a woman in white clothes, her wet hair clinging to her forehead and face, trembling all over.
Except for her, there was no one else on the boat.
Seeing this, Ling Feng wondered what to do?
If left alone, what would happen to this woman in the hands of those primitive people?
As he was pondering, Amaterasu said, "We can’t ignore that woman, if those people catch her, she might die."
"Go check it out, it’s a life after all."
Just as Ling Feng finished speaking, Amaterasu’s silhouette flashed, and she was already on the boat.
A mont later, the woman was brought to Ling Feng.
She looked around eighteen or nineteen years old, her eyes full of fear, trembling and murmuring sothing incomprehensible due to the language barrier, which Ling Feng couldn’t understand.
While trying to learn her language, Ling Feng said to Tian Lian, "Ask the Lord of the Blue Sea, is he still reluctant to co out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Blue Sea appeared.
Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly asked, "I don’t understand what she’s saying, you should, right?"
"I can!"
The Lord of the Blue Sea responded in a deep voice, then asked her a few things using a pronunciation similar to hers.
The woman was stunned, obviously surprised that a monkey could speak.
Whether she’d seen a monkey before was unclear, but when the Lord of the Blue Sea inquired about her background, the woman hesitated for a mont before hurriedly speaking a bunch of things.
Ling Feng was still learning, so he could only look to the Lord of the Blue Sea.
"She said her ship was attacked by sea creatures, so of the crew were eaten by the sea creatures, so fell overboard and disappeared, leaving her as the sole survivor," the Lord of the Blue Sea said.
"Talk about bad luck."
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "Could you help
ask her where her hotown is, so after I finish with the Rift Sky Sword, if convenient, I can escort her ho?"
However, the Lord of the Blue Sea didn’t ask, instead calmly said, "She’s from Blue Sea City, of the Shi family."
"Oh? You know her?" Ling Feng asked.
"I do!"
The Lord of the Blue Sea didn’t elaborate, turned to Ling Feng: "Since you’ve saved her, help her out. Also, could you let her enter the Jade Token Space? I want to chat with her."
"Sure, whatever you want!" Ling Feng nodded.
He could see that the Lord of the Blue Sea had so connection with this woman; otherwise, given his temperant, he wouldn’t bother with a stranger!
