Chapter 725: Magical Plant
Ling Feng paused, then asked, "What are you so busy with?"
"There were two guests here, I had to entertain them for a bit. Did you need me for something?" Feng Ling asked.
"Two guests?"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "It wasn’t one named Yang Da and the other Yang Er, was it?"
"Hmm? How did you know?" Feng Ling asked.
"..."
Ling Feng was at a loss for words: "Don’t you recognize these two? They’re Yu Linglong’s companions!"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ling exclaimed in surprise, "You must be mistaken, I’ve seen those two, and it’s not them!"
"I don’t know what’s going on, but I can confirm it’s them. Hurry up and teleport over here, stay away from those two. I’ll notify the security bureau to catch them right away!" Ling Feng said.
"Uh...."
Instead of teleporting immediately after hearing Ling Feng’s words, Feng Ling responded somewhat awkwardly, "Well, they’ve already left..."
"What!"
Ling Feng became anxious upon hearing this: "How long ago did they leave? Where did they go?"
"They left almost half an hour ago, and as for where they went, I’m not exactly sure, but possibly Ruinan?" Feng Ling said.
"Then why didn’t you say so earlier, it’s already been half an hour, why didn’t you teleport to Nine Heavens!" Ling Feng asked, exasperated.
"I was taking a bath just now."
Feng Ling sounded innocent, pouting her lips.
Ling Feng: "...."
"Alright, just come over, we’ll discuss further when we meet."
Having no other choice, he hung up the phone and immediately dialed Zhang He’s number.
The ringtone sounded for ten seconds before being answered: "What’s up?"
"Aren’t you on the hunt for Yang Da and Yang Er’s whereabouts?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He was taken aback: "Yeah, do you have a lead on them?"
"I’ve just received news that those two left the Black Dragon Sect and half an hour ago, they were heading for Ruinan. They might have already arrived!"
"Oh?"
Zhang He perked up upon hearing this, his spirit immediately heightened: "Is the news reliable?"
"Very reliable, Feng Ling told me. They had made contact before, but I’m not sure what they talked about!" Ling Feng said.
"Got it!"
Zhang He, being as impatient as ever, hung up after saying just one sentence.
Looking at the darkened screen, Ling Feng shook his head and muttered to himself, "You better be careful, brother!"
After saying that, he initiated teleportation and immediately went to Nine Heavens.
When he arrived at the Second Layer and saw that Feng Ling was already there, chatting and holding hands with Li Shiyun and the others.
Ling Feng quickly stepped forward, sat down, and asked, "What did those two guys want with you?"
"They were here to buy things from me."
Feng Ling glanced at him: "Those two bought ten types of medicinal herbs, all rare varieties produced by our region."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng’s brow furrowed instantly: "What does that mean, what are they doing buying medicinal herbs?"
Feng Ling tilted her chin up: "What else would they do, obviously to refine medicine!"
"Such a pity, just one step short. If we had caught them, we could have put this matter to rest for a while." Ling Feng shook his head.
"Do you have anything else?"
Without continuing, Feng Ling looked at him and asked.
Ling Feng was startled, "It’s fine, what’s up?"
"If it’s nothing, then I’m going to find Sister Yu Linglong."
Feng Ling smiled, said her farewells to Li Shiyun and the others, then headed towards the woods.
Watching her departing figure, Ling Feng had a moment of distraction, before he helplessly shook his head, "What a pity, what a pity!"
"That’s enough!"
Li Shiyun glanced at him and said with a smile, "What’s the use of regretting? Those two are formidable characters, definitely not easy to capture, and besides, they haven’t caused any major trouble yet. What’s the rush?"
"Exactly, do you think the people from the Security Bureau are all useless? Without you, they can’t do anything?" Zhou Yi also pursed his lips, asking sarcastically with a trace of mockery.
Ling Feng thought about it too and could only give a wry smile, shaking his head, "Alright then, I’m just worrying over nothing."
As they were talking, two girls approached the entrance, laughing and talking as they came over.
The newcomers were An Xue and Wang Wan’er. Curiously, Ling Feng asked, "Where did you two go?"
"To the Fifth Layer, Brother Ling. Xiao Xue found something good, I went over to take a look. Guess what it is?" Wang Wan’er asked with a smile.
Ling Feng scratched his head, "What is it? Some kind of plant?"
"You’re right!"
Wang Wan’er snapped her fingers, saying cheerfully, "It’s a type of algae!"
Ling Feng looked puzzled, "Algae? Is it useful for anything? Can you eat it?"
"It’s not for eating, but it’s even more useful than food!"
Wang Wan’er smiled and continued, "I came to find you; luckily, you’re really here. Want to come with us to the Fifth Layer to see its effects?"
"Sure!"
Without a second thought, Ling Feng stood up, eager to see what was so good about this algal plant Wan’er mentioned.
Li Shiyun and Zhou Yi were also full of curiosity and stood up as well.
So, the group left and all went to the Fifth Layer.
After reaching the place, Wang Wan’er came to the seaside, dipped her hand into the water, and scooped up a few times before bringing back some dark green, tiny plants to Ling Feng’s side: "This is it!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng scratched his head; the seaweed looked similar to kelp, except it was much smaller, like a little tuft of hair, and it was hard to imagine anything magical about something so tiny.
"Alright Wan’er, stop keeping us in suspense, just show us what’s so amazing about it!" Li Shiyun said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Wang Wan’er stuck out her tongue and went back to the seaside. A flash of light appeared in her palm, and then she threw the seaweed back into the water.
A moment later, everyone saw the tiny patch of seaweed, originally no bigger than a small clump of hair, start to expand rapidly!
In just a few minutes, the seaweed had grown frantically into a wall!
Seemingly following Wang Wan’er’s intentions, it grew from the seabed all the way to the surface, and then formed a circular ring about ten square meters in area, isolating this part of the sea from the rest.
"Can this thing really grow this fast?"
Ling Feng watched the whole process but still seemed a bit incredulous, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Yes, I can control the direction it grows, but the growth speed is its own magical ability. Isn’t it incredibly fast?" Wang Wan’er asked, tilting her head.
"More than fast, this is just too quick!"
Ling Feng chuckled bitterly and turned to look at her, "But what value is there in just growing quickly?"
"Of course, there’s value. You can go into the water and try it, see how strong this wall of seaweed is," Wang Wan’er said, winking and smiling.
"Is it very hard?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng took off his shoes and jumped into the water.
Standing in waist-deep water, he looked at the over one meter tall seaweed wall in front of him and pushed forward with both palms!
"Damn!"
Using about seventy percent of his strength, the wall didn’t budge, not even a bit, and even produced a bit of a counterforce that almost made Ling Feng sit down in the water!
