Chapter 1389: Meteor
Ling Feng’s divine sense scanned the entire area, discovering that this place was actually small, just a few acres in size.
It was a narrow valley nestled within the mountains, with a stone house at the end of the lawn. Apart from that, there was nothing else here.
"Let’s go. What it needs should be inside that stone house!"
Ling Feng said as he stepped forward.
The two arrived at the stone house, finding that it had no doors or windows, only a few thin stones piled up, without any traces of anyone having lived inside.
However, on the ground inside the stone house, there was a black round metal object that looked like a collar.
Ling Feng picked it up but had received no hints in his mind, so he handed it to Li Fei’er: "This is what it wants. Let’s go back now."
"Leave now? Aren’t we going to take a closer look at this place?" Li Fei’er asked.
"I’ve already scanned it with divine sense; there’s nothing here worth seeing," Ling Feng replied.
"Oh, alright then."
Li Fei’er nodded, saying as she walked: "I’m used to discovering something whenever I come to a new place, but here there’s nothing at all!"
"Not exactly. This round item looks like a collar; maybe it’s the most valuable treasure here!"
Ling Feng laughed, holding her hand as they prepared to leave.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently!
It felt like a massive earthquake; Ling Feng quickly pulled Li Fei’er along and ran!
The two quickly reached the entrance and then passed through the mist, arriving at the cave’s mouth.
The violent tremor vanished instantly, but Ling Feng could still feel the presence of danger, so he immediately hugged Li Fei’er’s waist and leaped!
As he jumped, the cave entrance suddenly collapsed!
Already in mid-air, Ling Feng felt his heart skip a beat!
If he had been a few seconds late, he and Li Fei’er would have been hit by falling stones.
Although not fatal, it would be very embarrassing.
"Such intricate traps!"
Feeling quite amazed, Ling Feng leveraged the rock, landing both onto the top of the cliff.
After landing, Li Fei’er handed the collar to the Kylin: "Is this what you wanted?"
The Kylin nodded slightly and poked its head through the collar.
Once the collar was on its neck, its body immediately emitted a golden glow, and then, under Li Fei’er and Ling Feng’s watchful gazes, the Kylin’s hair began to change color!
"..."
Both of them were a bit stunned, not expecting such an effect!
In an instant, the majestic Fire Qilin stood before them!
It was completely crimson, and there was a faint blaze flickering between its teeth, an appearance enough to scare anyone directly!
"Its attack power must be very strong, right?" Ling Feng asked.
Understanding the cue, Li Fei’er spoke to the Fire Qilin: "Show us your abilities!"
"Roar!"
The Fire Qilin roared towards the sky and then turned to spit flames at the scattered stones!
Under Ling Feng and Li Fei’er’s gaze, the rocks quickly turned red, gradually softened, and then turned into a puddle of red liquid!
"It can even melt rocks! That’s amazing!"
Li Fei’er clapped her hands in delight.
Ling Feng was also thrilled but smiled, saying: "Simply this ability doesn’t seem like much. Yellow can spit flames too, just not as hot as this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Qilin clearly understood, so it stamped its front hooves on the ground and leaped into the air!
Ling Feng stood agape, watching it soar!
Flying without wings—a dominating sight!
"Wow, with it, I can fly in the air!" Li Fei’er exclaimed.
Hearing this, the Fire Qilin immediately dropped down and lowered its body before her!
The intention was clear: you want to fly? I’ll take you!
Li Fei’er didn’t stand on ceremony, jumped onto its back, and the Fire Qilin soared into the sky, gliding around!
Because it was late at night and quiet all around, Li Fei’er’s laughter echoed throughout the mountains like silver bells!
Ling Feng also looked envious, thinking when he would experience this.
Though he had Little Yu, the feeling surely wasn’t like Li Fei’er’s now, considering the Dragon God was more of a guide while he was only hitching a ride.
Such freedom to fly and go wherever on a whim was truly enviable.
Seeing Li Fei’er enjoying herself, Ling Feng wasn’t in a hurry to return, so he simply sat down on the ground.
Some time passed as Ling Feng watched the Fire Qilin circling in the sky until in the corner of his eye, he saw a meteor streak across!
The fiery light was very dazzling, illuminating half the sky in red!
A massive red trail flashed by, then the meteor vanished to the southwest, uncertain where it might land!
Clearly, with such bright light and thick trail, it surely must land somewhere!
Ling Feng paused, then got up and shouted: "Fei’er, stop playing, we should head back!"
"Oh, got it!"
Li Fei’er shouted in reply, as the red silhouette of the Fire Qilin immediately returned to the ground.
"Did you see that, Uncle? A meteor just fell!" Li Fei’er asked.
"Yes, I saw it. From your vantage point, did you see where it fell?" Ling Feng asked.
"No, it was too far. It felt like it was at least a few hundred kilometers away!" Li Fei’er shook her head, replying.
"Okay, then let’s return and discuss further!"
Ling Feng nodded, then looked at the Fire Qilin: "What about this? Are you going to keep it in the space?"
"Not yet. I’m unsure if it would fight with Wang Cai and Yellow in there, so I’ll wait till we’re back in Nine Heavens!" Li Fei’er answered.
"Alright, then we’ll teleport with it!"
Ling Feng nodded, holding Li Fei’er’s hand, while she held onto the Fire Qilin.
In a flash of light, the pair left instantly.
Returning to Nine Heavens, Ling Feng didn’t say much, letting Li Fei’er move freely while he returned to Shiliu Village and immediately drove to Longyuan.
He did this because the appearance of the meteor seemed odd, prompting him to investigate promptly to see what’s happening.
It was already midnight by the time he reached Longyuan, realizing that most people were resting, except for a few personnel on duty.
Zhang He had evidently gone home to sleep, but luckily he found an acquaintance, Lin Xue.
Seeing Ling Feng, Lin Xue was a bit surprised and stood up to ask: "Why did you come so late?"
"There’s something I’d like to check on."
Ling Feng spoke briefly of the scene he witnessed deep in the mountains west of Mountain God Temple Village.
After hearing this, Lin Xue nodded: "Let me check the latest security logs, maybe there’s something useful!"
