Chapter 1549 - 1548: Counterattack
"Okay!"
Tian Lian nodded slightly, then leaped forward and directly jumped into the pit.
Although she was now in a physical form, she was as light as a feather. As she descended, she drifted gently, giving off the feeling of a celestial being descending to the mortal world.
Ling Feng locked his Divine Sense, but once Tian Lian reached the bottom of the pit, his Divine Sense encountered a feeling of stagnation, as if something was obstructing it.
Therefore, Ling Feng couldn’t see what was happening at the bottom of the pit, but soon he heard a series of roars coming from below.
Besides the cries from Little Hei, there was another kind of beast’s roar.
Clearly, his guess wasn’t wrong—there was indeed something down there, and the sudden fall of a large volume of construction waste had angered it, leading it to retaliate against the dump truck.
This place was not far from the village. If the thing below wasn’t anything good, this would be a good opportunity to deal with it to prevent it from causing trouble for the villagers in the future.
The battle below was intense and lasted for several minutes. Ling Feng became anxious and couldn’t help but use the Mind Soul Art to call out in his mind, "Tian Lian? What’s going on?"
"Master, no need to worry, it’s already taken care of."
Tian Lian’s voice came, and then she slowly rose from the bottom of the pit.
When she landed in front of him, Ling Feng saw that there was something more on her shoulder, a small Octopus.
"What the—why is it this thing?"
"Master, it has been trapped at the bottom of this pit for thousands of years and has also developed Spiritual Sense, but it’s not as strong as Little Hei," Tian Lian said.
Ling Feng uttered an "oh" and then asked, "So you’ve now subdued it?"
"Yes!"
Tian Lian nodded, "From now on, it will follow me and won’t stay at the bottom of the pit anymore."
"Very good!"
Ling Feng chuckled, thinking that now Tian Lian had Little Hei on land, the Octopus in the sea, and was only missing a flying Spiritual Beast.
Once she found one that could fly, her forces would be complete with sea, land, and air!
Even though the issue of the big pit was resolved, Ling Feng didn’t want to dump garbage into it anymore. The environment there was special, and it might have other uses in the future.
So after returning to the village, he found Liu Yunshan at the construction site: "Village Chief Liu, have you found any other places to dump the garbage?"
"Yes, Mr. Ling, don’t worry!" Liu Yunshan said.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s good. Then let’s put up a sign next to that big pit to stop people from dumping garbage there. It might be useful!"
"Understood!"
Liu Yunshan was completely obedient to Ling Feng’s words, agreeing without a second thought.
After that, they watched as the construction continued; the houses and walls in the two courtyards were all dismantled, and the grass on the ground was tidied. By the end of the project, it was already evening.
Ling Feng took a car back to Yangjing County, greeted Chen Fei, and then teleported back to Nine Heavens.
Then he found Long Xiaoyu, and the two of them went directly to Lingyun Island.
The launch command center had become Gu Li’s new office. Upon meeting, he quickly handed Ling Feng a document.
After a quick glance, Ling Feng looked up and said, "This is just a local warlord, huh?"
"Who would say otherwise? Such a guy even dares to challenge Ling Corporation. Boss, wouldn’t you say he’s digging his own grave?" Gu Li said angrily.
Ling Feng smiled, looking at the dark-skinned face on the document, "General Tu Lu, is it? Very well then, I’ll let him taste what it means to go against me!"
After saying this, he put away the document and turned to Long Xiaoyu, "Shall we go?"
"Sure!"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, and as they were about to leave, Gu Li quickly said, "Boss, just getting rid of this guy won’t have much impact, it’s best to make a big scene out of it!"
Ling Feng stopped in his tracks and looked at him, "What do you mean, announce it to the world?"
"Not really."
Gu Li chuckled, "Tu Lu must have taken benefits from Smack, which is why he repeatedly sent people to deal with us. The cause and effect of all this should be made known to the outside world, and it’s best to let others know, to serve as a warning."
"You’re giving me a challenge, I have to control the scale myself, huh?"
Ling Feng clicked his tongue, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it myself!"
With that, he turned and left, taking Long Xiaoyu to the outskirts of Lingyun Island.
A golden light flashed, and the two of them left, heading straight southwest.
...
...
After flying through the night, at the break of dawn, Ling Feng’s feet touched down on a piece of barren land.
Long Xiaoyu returned to her human form and clicked her tongue, "This place is so hot!"
"It’s even hotter than the previous desert, the latitude is different after all!"
Ling Feng nodded and then took out a positioning device to check his location.
He had looked before landing, but now needed to confirm the precise location to find Tu Lu’s whereabouts in the shortest amount of time.
A moment later, Ling Feng pointed westward across the desert, "Another twenty kilometers, let’s walk from here!"
"Okay, whatever you say!"
Long Xiaoyu smiled and linked her arm with his.
Their relationship had surpassed that of mere companions, and Long Xiaoyu, being playful by nature, treated this outing as a tour.
Ling Feng chuckled and led the way forward.
This was a small African country plagued by perennial war, with complex and intertwined local forces. A random few hundred people could band together and potentially defeat the opponents to become rulers of the country.
Due to a lack of resources, the people here lived in extreme poverty, and with the ongoing civil strife, many villages had been abandoned.
During their journey, Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu saw two villages reduced to ruins, not a single person in sight.
"I can’t understand what these people are thinking. Without citizens, what good is becoming a ruler?"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly as they walked.
Long Xiaoyu said nothing, her eyes curiously taking in the surroundings, finding it all novel.
At that moment, two black dots suddenly appeared ahead, raising clouds of dust as they approached.
Ling Feng recognized them as two jeeps, moving at a considerable speed, explaining the high plumes of dust.
After a short distance, the two vehicles seemed to have spotted them and changed direction to approach quickly.
As they got closer, Ling Feng saw the occupants wearing dirty uniforms, each holding a gun!
He was unsure whether they were Tu Lu’s men, but according to the information from Gu Li, this area was under his control, so there shouldn’t be a mistake.
As the jeeps neared, the sound of gunfire echoed as they fired into the sky!
Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu halted their steps, and the vehicles stopped as seven or eight soldiers jumped out, pointing their guns at the two!
"Hey, can anyone speak Huaxia?" Ling Feng asked calmly.
