Chapter 1387: Back to Fishing Spots
Chapter 1387: Back to Fishing Spots
Actually, it’s not a problem if the lake surface is frozen; you can still fish by making a hole in the ice.
However, Ling Feng’s mind is not on fishing right now. He plans to wait for An Xue to assess the fish resources in the water before making any decisions.
Soon, the fish stew prepared by Wang Laogen was ready, and everyone gathered around to eat.
Thanks to the culinary skills and the exceptionally tender and boneless fish, the taste was indeed excellent.
Thus, as Ling Feng was eating, he said to Wang Laogen and Chu Nan, "You guys knew about this earlier. Why didn’t you tell me?"
"Is it too late to tell you now?"
Wang Laogen chuckled and continued, "Don’t get too excited and go catch all the fish in the lake!"
"Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish!"
Ling Feng laughed, bowing his head to enjoy the fish.
The group soon finished all the fish, and the fish soup was also completely consumed, so they called it a day.
Knowing how delicious the fish was, Li Fei’er begged Ling Feng to catch some more and take them to the Nine Heavens for everyone to taste.
Reluctantly, Ling Feng agreed, borrowed fishing gear from Wang Laogen, and drove back to Xiao Chi Village with the three girls.
Without the two elders around, Hehua became much more cheerful, chatting and laughing happily with everyone.
Ling Feng looked at her and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to stay here for a few days this time?"
"Yes, there’s nothing much to do at home, so I want to stay at the Nine Heavens for a few more days!" Hehua nodded.
"You can stay at Uncle’s place; he doesn’t have much going on lately!" Yang Guang suggested.
This comment made Hehua blush, and she quickly glared at him, "Don’t talk nonsense!"
Yang Guang laughed sheepishly and stopped talking.
Ling Feng didn’t say much either, knowing Hehua’s feelings for him were already clear, but he didn’t want to accept her feelings just yet.
The fishhook was cast, and after just two minutes, the float started to move.
Recoiling the line, a big fish leaped out of the water!
The fish were really easy to catch, requiring no skill at all; as long as there was bait, a hook, and a rod, it was enough.
So soon, Ling Feng and the others caught over a dozen fish.
As night fell, everyone returned to Shiliu Village with the fish, and then went to the Nine Heavens together.
Seeing so many fish brought back, Little Lian went to find her apron, preparing to cook for everyone, but was stopped by Yu Linglong.
She wasn’t showing yet, but she had been pregnant for some time, so usually, everyone didn’t let her do heavy physical work.
Ling Feng was quite moved by this scene and couldn’t help but glance deeply at Yu Linglong.
She didn’t say anything, just smiled.
Just as Ling Feng was about to have dinner with everyone, Chen Yuhe hurriedly entered the First Layer of Heaven.
Seeing her expression, Ling Feng quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"
"There’s something going on at the Mountain God Temple, you should go and check it out!" Chen Yuhe said.
"What’s going on?"
Ling Feng’s heart tightened, immediately sensing something ominous!
"A strange beast appeared in the mountains, killing many farmed chickens. I just got the call and came to find you, but I don’t know the details." Chen Yuhe said.
"A strange beast?"
On hearing this, Ling Feng turned to Li Fei’er and said, "Come with me?"
"Sure!"
Li Fei’er didn’t hesitate and nodded at once.
Since she’d already eaten the fish, she wasn’t tempted by it, so they quickly left the Nine Heavens and headed directly to the Mountain God Temple Village.
It was evening, originally the time for dinner, but now the villagers were restless, no one was in the mood to cook, they were all waiting for Ling Feng to arrive.
Seeing him, Village Chief Liu Fu quickly approached, "Mr. Ling, you’re finally here, everyone’s so worried!"
"Are the village’s losses big?" Ling Feng asked.
"Each household lost a dozen chickens, it’s already quite a lot," Liu Fu said.
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded and continued, "Don’t worry about the losses, make a tally, and I’ll compensate you. By the way, did anyone see what the creature looked like?"
"I saw it!"
A villager raised his hand, then walked over and said, "That thing looks like a wolf but not quite the same, it has horns on its head!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was a bit stunned hearing this, a wolf with horns?
What kind of creature is this?
Li Fei’er then asked, "Does it have eyes like bronze bells, and peculiar hooves?"
"Yes, somewhat, anyway, I’ve never seen an animal like that before!" The villager nodded.
"Hmm!"
Li Fei’er nodded and looked at Ling Feng, "I might know what it is, let’s go into the mountain and check!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng didn’t ask much, and the two immediately headed into the mountains.
Hearing footsteps behind, and seeing the villagers following, Ling Feng turned back and said, "There’s no need to follow, everyone go back and cook, we’ll let you know what happened when we return!"
"Mr. Ling, be careful!" Liu Fu said.
"It’s fine, don’t worry!"
Ling Feng said this, holding Li Fei’er’s hand as they left Mountain God Temple Village.
Once in the mountains, he asked, "What do you think that creature is?"
"If my guess is right, it’s not a monster, but a Divine Beast!" Li Fei’er laughed.
"A Divine Beast? What kind?" Ling Feng hurriedly asked.
"Possibly a Kylin!"
"Wow!"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise, "It was said that Wang Cai was a Kylin reincarnated, and now there’s a real Kylin appearing?"
"Who knows, let’s see it first before we talk!"
Li Fei’er laughed, stepping further into the mountain.
By now, it was already getting dark, the temperature in the mountain was a bit low, but it didn’t affect the two of them, and after walking two kilometers, Li Fei’er stopped.
"Have you discovered something?"
Ling Feng couldn’t see anything with his Divine Sense, so he quickly asked upon seeing her stop.
"Yes, I felt the presence of a fierce beast!"
Li Fei’er nodded and continued, "Uncle, when we encounter that beast later, don’t rush to attack it, let me handle it first!"
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead!"
Ling Feng nodded, knowing she had the intent to subdue the beast, so he quickly agreed.
They continued forward, and shortly after, Li Fei’er pointed, "It should be over there!"
"There?"
Ling Feng was taken aback when he looked in that direction.
She was pointing to a basketball-sized hole, a small cave nestled in the mountain crevice, its interior pitch black and impenetrable even by Divine Sense!
Ling Feng still found it strange; how could a beast squeeze into such a small hole?
But Li Fei’er wouldn’t be joking with him at this moment, so Ling Feng followed her to the hole.
Then, Li Fei’er squatted down and said to the hole, "I’m here, do you want to come out?"
