Chapter 1692 - 1691: Unease
Chapter 1692 - 1691: Unease
Ling Feng had expected this, but his expression was unpleasant as he looked at Rick: "This really puts me in a difficult position!"
Rick thought to himself, isn’t everyone? I’m in a tough spot too!
Everything was agreed upon, but then Richard changed his mind at the last minute, turning me into a treacherous person!
Unfortunately, he’s the leader, and I can only follow his orders, so Rick could only smile bitterly and say: "I’m sorry, Mr. Ling, this is the Director’s decision. I know it’s not very appropriate, but...."
Before he could finish, Ling Feng waved his hand: "Alright, I understand this isn’t your idea. That Richard is up to no good, but I have a pretty good impression of you, so I’ll grant you a bit of face!"
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ling!"
Rick looked pleasantly surprised, yet a bit taken aback, and hurriedly nodded.
Ling Feng smiled and didn’t say much else, joining the others as they entered the gap.
This place was just as dense with jungle as the outside, he knew they needed to walk a few kilometers to reach the base of the pyramid, so he wasn’t in a hurry and walked leisurely with the group.
Besides the dozen or so soldiers who entered this time, there were also a few people from the investigation bureau. Richard and his companions were walking at the front, muttering something to each other.
It seemed like they didn’t want Ling Feng to hear.
Unfortunately, even if they lowered their voices, Ling Feng could hear their conversation through his Divine Sense.
After walking behind them for a while, he understood what was going on.
These guys had coordinates; with this, they could find the exact location of the City of Gold. They were discussing the subsequent transportation work once they reached the place.
Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, you guys can go ahead and study it, but it’ll be pointless!
At the same time, Ling Feng realized a problem, people from the investigation bureau entered this ruin, and regardless of whether they acquired any gold, once the Roth Family found out this news, it would provoke great anger from them!
Even if the investigation bureau returned empty-handed, it would still be a disaster they couldn’t wash off!
At this thought, Ling Feng squinted his eyes, pondering how to let the Roth Family know this happened!
After the group had been walking in the forest for two hours, the sky gradually turned dark.
An open area in the woods appeared ahead, and the soldiers began setting up camp there, preparing to spend the night.
Ling Feng didn’t need to step in and help, so he found a clean spot to sit down, quietly watching everyone bustling around.
It was then that Rick came over with a smile, asking: "Mr. Ling, we’ll stay here tonight and move on in the morning."
"I have no objections, I’ll follow your lead!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Then I’ll get on with my work."
Rick smiled and turned to leave.
Ling Feng turned to glance at Richard in the distance, who quickly looked away, pretending not to notice.
"This guy, do you think I can’t see through your intentions?"
Smiling inwardly, Ling Feng ignored him.
Seven or eight tents were set up, and of course, Ling Feng had his own tent. He didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight inside.
Sitting down, he took out his phone and checked it. There were no messages, and he wasn’t sure how things were going on the City of Gold end.
The competition was now at the end of the second day, and he didn’t know the progress or results.
But Ling Feng knew that if there were no messages, then nothing was wrong, and everything was going smoothly!
If a call came in, it could mean something went wrong, which would be bad.
He didn’t call to ask, just lay on the bed holding his head.
With so many people, it was quite lively outside for a while. It wasn’t until after ten o’clock at night that things gradually quieted down.
Although Ling Feng was prepared to rest, his Divine Sense continued to cover the surroundings, never relaxing his vigilance.
He saw two soldiers in the dark forest on guard duty; although they were vigilant and responsible, Ling Feng still felt uneasy.
Strangely, even though they were entering the ruins where he and Yu Linglong had been before, he now felt a sense of unease.
He had never felt this before and had no idea why now.
Because of this, Ling Feng lay on bed pretending to sleep, but he couldn’t fall asleep at all!
As time ticked by, the feeling of unease grew stronger.
Ling Feng simply sat up and rubbed his hair: "Damn it, what’s going on?"
In bewilderment, he summoned Tian Lian and asked: "Why do I feel restless, like something’s about to happen?"
Tian Lian was stunned, looking puzzled, "Really? Why?"
Ling Feng was speechless, shook his head with a bitter smile: "That’s exactly why I wanted to talk to you, don’t you feel it?"
"No, Master, I don’t feel anything," Tian Lian said.
Seeing Ling Feng’s expression was off, she continued: "How about this, I’ll have Little Hei and Little Chong go out and take a look?"
"Sounds good, have them check out the forest and see what’s going on," Ling Feng nodded.
"Okay."
Tian Lian agreed and sent Little Hei and Little Chong out.
Through Divine Sense, Little Hei entered the forest, unfolded its form, and began to move around the surroundings.
In just a moment, a burst of flames suddenly rose beside Little Hei, followed immediately by a huge explosion!
Fortunately, Little Hei had tough skin, and the explosion didn’t harm it, but the loud noise still startled everyone in the camp.
In no time, everyone rushed out of their tents, bewildered, looking at the dark forest, not knowing what had happened.
Soon after, another explosion sounded as Little Chong accidentally triggered something in the forest, causing it to explode!
Ling Feng glanced at Tian Lian: "As expected, there’s a situation!"
"Shall I go, Master? Do you want any alive?" Tian Lian asked.
"Leave one alive, let’s see who’s behind this!" Ling Feng said.
Tian Lian nodded and turned to leave the tent.
Rick and others had seen her before, so they weren’t surprised to see her come out. Only the newcomers like Richard were confused, not knowing what was going on.
Ling Feng followed out of the tent, and Rick immediately approached: "Mr. Ling, what’s happening?"
"Not sure yet, but we’ll find out soon!"
Ling Feng said, then turned to the soldiers around him, and loudly told them: "Stay alert, someone might attack us!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately raised their guns, bullets loaded!
At this point, Richard came over nervously asking: "What’s going on?"
"Someone doesn’t want you guys finding the City of Gold!"
Ling Feng glanced at him and smiled faintly.
