Chapter 1562 - 1561: Puppet?
Chen Hong glanced at Ling Feng and then pouted, "I said I was just asking casually, why are you so suspicious?"
Ling Feng was speechless, then rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, whatever, won’t ask anymore!
After that, he said nothing more and drove out of the city.
He thought he wouldn’t have to come to this mountainous area again, but he has to return, and it’s a relatively complex job.
The car stopped at the spot where they parked before, and now the sun was already setting in the west.
Ling Feng opened the trunk, inside were six sets of equipment, each set in a rectangular box.
This was an all-round sound, light, and electronics monitoring radar, which could monitor a two-kilometer radius when installed in an open environment.
Though it couldn’t monitor subtle movements, any person or animal passing by would instantly be detected, and the information uploaded to the security bureau’s computer.
This equipment had a built-in solar panel and battery, needing no maintenance for several years, qualifying it as a high-tech product.
After studying it for a while, Ling Feng already knew how to install it, so he said to Chen Hong, "These six need to be installed separately, you follow closely."
"No, you take three, I’ll take three, we’ll split up to work more efficiently!" Chen Hong said.
"Do you know how to use it?" Ling Feng asked.
Chen Hong looked at him, "Who do you think you’re looking down on? You really think I’m a village girl who hasn’t been to school?"
"Uh, no, but this stuff is high-tech, don’t mess it up, or we’ll have to redo it," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Chen Hong rolled her eyes, picked up three boxes, and somehow packed them away, then in a flash, she was gone.
Then she waved her hand, "I’m off, let’s meet here once we’re done!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her silhouette was already ten meters away.
Ling Feng looked at her back and smiled, not expecting this girl was here to help share the workload, feeling a bit touched.
He then took his equipment and left, heading into the mountains.
To avoid duplicate installations, the two went south and north, heading to designated installation points.
As night fell, he finished installing the first one, and the night had already cloaked the mountains.
Initially, Ling Feng was a bit worried if Chen Hong would encounter any danger alone, but then he realized she had Little Li, the three-tailed fox, with her, how could anything happen?
So he thought no more of it and headed straight for the second location.
...
...
After installing three devices, Ling Feng stood on a mountain top and called the bureau.
The on-duty personnel already saw the equipment’s information on the screen, and five had gone online.
Knowing the last one must be being installed, Ling Feng nodded, hung up, and then leapt towards the final location.
As he arrived in the valley, a red glow suddenly appeared on the horizon!
"What’s going on?"
Ling Feng froze, that was exactly where he was headed, could Chen Hong be in trouble?
Thinking this, Ling Feng immediately accelerated, charging forward like lightning!
After crossing a few ridges, the peak ahead was the last location. The summit flashed with interweaving red and white lights. Ling Feng wasted no time and quickly summoned Tian Lian!
Moments later, both were on the mountain peak.
Chen Hong and the three-tailed fox were struggling with a dark figure. The figure in the cloak looked somewhat familiar, and Ling Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "The Leader of the Tongtian Sect!"
The opponent froze, turned back for a glance.
The person’s head was in the hood, making it impossible to see his face, and even when Ling Feng used his Divine Sense, he couldn’t discern his appearance.
In that instant, the shadow snorted coldly, emitting a sharp sound, "Tian Lian, you really betrayed me!"
"I was forced, if not for you threatening me with your life force, I wouldn’t have followed you!" Tian Lian said.
Hearing their conversation, Ling Feng confirmed the opponent was the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, and slowly drew the God Slayer Saber, "Finally, we meet!"
"Ruining my plans again and again, you’re courting death!"
The Leader of the Tongtian Sect shouted, ignoring Chen Hong and Little Li, and suddenly rose into the air, then swooped down!
Ling Feng had never fought this guy but knew his strength must be formidable, so he didn’t underestimate him, swinging his saber with a slash of saber light!
At the same time, two massive figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s path.
Little Hei and the Octopus were both summoned by Tian Lian.
A huge bloody mouth lunged forward, and the Leader of the Tongtian Sect was momentarily taken aback, instantly sent flying backwards.
"Huh?"
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was somewhat puzzled and promptly asked, "Really? Such a coward, are you truly the Leader of the Tongtian Sect?"
"He’s not!"
Chen Hong shouted, then added, "This guy can’t even beat Little Li, he must be an impostor!"
"Really?"
As Ling Feng spoke, he already leapt forward, charging at the man in black!
With him and Chen Hong attacking from front and back, along with Tian Lian and the others on the side, the man in black was thrown into disarray.
As a result, with a slip, his body suddenly fell, instantly cut in half by Ling Feng’s saber light!
Afterwards, Ling Feng and Chen Hong both reached the spot, lifted the black cloth, and were stunned.
On the ground was not a person, but a snow-white skeleton!
"Damn, what is this, a puppet?"
Recalling Matsumoto from Taohua Village before, Ling Feng said in astonishment.
"This isn’t a puppet, it’s something imbued with Tongtian’s Divine Sense, he must be nearby manipulating it!" Tian Lian said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng looked around, his Divine Sense instantly expanding to a kilometer range.
But unfortunately, besides a few nocturnal mice and small animals, there wasn’t a living soul.
Standing on the mountaintop, Ling Feng shouted loudly, "Tongtian, as a Sect Hierarch, you don’t dare show your true self? Coward!"
The voice echoed back and forth in the valley, but unfortunately, there was no response.
"This guy is indeed cowardly, seeing our numbers, he dares not show himself," Chen Hong said.
"Master, there’s no need to look, he’s surely gone," Tian Lian followed up.
Ling Feng helplessly sighed, "Such a cunning guy."
"So afraid of death, how can he accomplish anything major?"
Chen Hong said with disdain, then asked, "Why did you come here?"
Ling Feng looked at her, "I came to see if you’re done, then take you back together."
"I was just about to finish installing, then that shadow suddenly appeared, startled me!"
Chen Hong said, then turned to look at the equipment on the ground, "This thing might have been exposed, should we still leave it here?"
"Let’s change the location."
Ling Feng thought for a moment, stored the equipment, and looked at the opposite peak, "Let’s place it over there!"
After saying this, he leapt down the mountain swiftly.
