Chapter 1640 - 1639: Handwriting
Li Fei’er shook her head: "No, these creatures aren’t inherently evil. There might be other ways to trigger them, but my Pet Space is isolated from the outside world. Without my thoughts, no one can control them."
Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Then I’m relieved!"
He finished speaking and saw Wu Xiaomin and Han Wancheng looking at him. Ling Feng smiled wryly: "Alright then, my wife won’t give birth for another three days, and since both bosses take this matter seriously, I’ll make another trip back!"
Han Wancheng didn’t stand on ceremony and nodded immediately: "Thanks for your efforts!"
Ling Feng: "..."
In his mind, he thought this is what you call a master at creating atmosphere, not saying a word but just creating a tense vibe, and without even begging me, I offered to do the work myself!
However, he also knew the importance of the matter, so after agreeing, he didn’t delay and left the office, teleporting back with Li Fei’er.
This time there was no need to bring too many people, so Ling Feng and she teleported to Lingyun Island, and then the two traveled through the relay station back to the Antarctic Continent.
Upon appearing in the underground space, Ling Feng knew Li Fei’er didn’t have Divine Sense, so he took out a bright flashlight and handed it to her: "This place is quite large, we might need to spend some time here!"
"Mm, it’s fine, take your time. I’ll help you keep track of the time, so you won’t miss Shiyun’s delivery!" Li Fei’er said.
"Good!"
Ling Feng felt warmth in his heart, patted her head, and then the two started walking in the vast space.
The first step was to go to where those creatures were discovered. At that time, Li Fei’er took all the creatures away, leaving just a circular concave space.
The two searched there for a while, found no clues, so they changed direction and started looking again.
This walk lasted for hours, the flashlight eventually ran out of battery, and they didn’t find anything.
By then, the two had already walked over ten kilometers in this underground space.
Li Fei’er showed a touch of fatigue on her face, yawned, and said: "Uncle, how about we take a break?"
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, I’m feeling a bit tired too, let’s rest first!"
Saying that, the two went to a rock wall, where Ling Feng took out a moisture-proof mat and laid it on the ground, then took out some firewood to light a fire.
A little firelight ignited, barely serving any purpose in this enormous underground space, only illuminating a range of ten meters or so.
Seeing Li Fei’er lie down, Ling Feng asked: "Don’t you want to eat something before sleeping?"
"Uncle, you prepare it first. I’m going to take a nap, call me later."
Li Fei’er murmured, closed her eyes, and fell asleep immediately.
Seeing this, Ling Feng helplessly shook his head.
Thinking about it, she’s been rushing to Antarctica and hasn’t rested much! After all, she’s just a kid growing up!
So Ling Feng didn’t disturb her and slowly began preparing the grilled meat.
To let Li Fei’er sleep a bit longer, he took things slowly.
It took almost two hours before the aroma of the meat gradually filled the air.
Without needing Ling Feng to call her, Li Fei’er woke up upon smelling the aroma.
After sitting up, she looked lively again, saying with a grin: "Uncle’s grilled meat is so tempting, it woke me up!"
"That’s mostly because you’re greedy!"
Ling Feng smiled, indulging as he handed her a skewer of meat.
Without any formality, the two grabbed the skewers and started eating.
While eating, Li Fei’er asked indistinctly: "Uncle, this place is so big. Do you think we can find any valuable clues?"
"Hard to say, manpower is limited, and time is tight. We’ll just do our best!" Ling Feng said.
The two ate and talked, quickly finishing several pounds of grilled meat.
After eating and drinking, Li Fei’er patted her small belly contentedly: "I’m full, ready to work again."
"It’s okay, you can rest a little longer!" Ling Feng laughed.
Just as he finished speaking, he noticed something falling from above.
It was a drop of water, falling directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Both Ling Feng and Li Fei’er paused and looked up simultaneously.
They were immediately startled!
Somehow, a giant snake’s head had appeared above them!
What had just dripped was not water droplets but venom from those long snake fangs!
"Well, glad it didn’t fall on me, otherwise I’d be poisoned!"
Ling Feng exclaimed, pulling Li Fei’er up immediately.
Almost simultaneously, Li Fei’er summoned Little Hong, and then decisively said: "Exterminate this guy for me!"
Little Hong let out a low roar, leapt, and a jet of flames roared out.
The giant snake didn’t even have time to react and was directly burnt to charcoal!
The snake, over ten meters long, crashed to the ground with a boom.
Ling Feng and Li Fei’er approached to find it was just a normal python, posing no threat to them!
Seeing this, they both felt they had overreacted a bit earlier.
"We were tense, maybe this enclosed space gives a sense of pressure?" Ling Feng said with a touch of self-mockery.
Li Fei’er nodded and then pointed above: "Uncle, look at the rock wall, there seems to be something!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng heard and looked up, and sure enough, there were black lines on the rock wall. If they hadn’t just noticed the python above them, they would’ve never seen those!
Taking out another bright flashlight, Ling Feng shone it onto the rock wall, revealing a magnificent scene!
The rock wall was dozens of meters high and over a hundred meters wide, covered with densely packed unknown characters!
Each character was as big as a person, with no idea who might have written them.
Unable to understand them, Ling Feng immediately had Li Fei’er take out her phone to record, while he held the light, trying to photograph each character.
Completing this took more than an hour.
"Uncle, if these writings explain the appearance of those creatures, we’ve completed our mission!" Li Fei’er said.
Ling Feng nodded: "Just don’t know if anyone can decipher these characters. Let’s talk when we go back!"
"Not going to continue searching?" Li Fei’er looked at him.
"No need, we’ll sort everything out when we return!"
Ling Feng said, taking her hand and beginning the teleportation.
Soon, they arrived at Lingyun Island, noticing it was already midnight there, so without rushing back to Capital City, they went directly to Li Fei’er’s house.
