The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 977: Can’t Go Back Anymore

Ling Feng chuckled, "Of course, otherwise, just sitting here doing nothing would be pretty boring, wouldn’t it?"

"I actually quite enjoy some quiet alone time!"

Yu Linglong said this, resting her chin in her hands and staring outside without saying anything more.

Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself if you don’t want to talk, then forget it!

He got up, went over to the fire, took out some raw meat from his bracelet, cut it into small pieces using the God Slayer Saber, and started grilling it over the fire.

Before long, the aroma of the meat began to waft through the cave.

Once the meat was cooked, Ling Feng looked up and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"No need, I’m not hungry," Yu Linglong replied indifferently.

Ling Feng didn’t insist. He ate a big piece himself and then said helplessly, "You really are unique!"

"What’s so unique about me?"

Yu Linglong turned and looked at him as she asked.

"Even the most reserved girls have a lively side, but you rarely even smile, and you’re always so icy cold!" Ling Feng said.

"They are them, I am me," Yu Linglong replied.

Ling Feng looked at her, "It’s like you’re not even a woman. What’s weighing you down so heavily, national hatred or family resentment?"

Yu Linglong’s body shuddered, "What are you talking about!"

"Nothing, just rambling. Don’t get mad!"

Seeing her eyes widen, Ling Feng chuckled sheepishly and quickly changed the subject, "Just talking nonsense! Aren’t you cold by the cave entrance? Why not come over to the fire?"

"I’m fine, I’m not cold."

Yu Linglong said with an indifferent face as she hugged her legs.

Ling Feng had no choice but to shake his head and focus on eating his grilled meat.

Truth be told, he wasn’t hungry either; he was just killing time out of boredom.

But after he finished all the grilled meat, the blizzard outside showed no signs of weakening. Instead, the sky grew even darker, as if covered by the bottom of a black pot.

Ling Feng couldn’t help but look up at Yu Linglong again, "How long do you think this snow will last?"

"I don’t know!"

Yu Linglong responded with just three words.

"If you’re bored, how about we head back and come here another time?" Ling Feng continued to ask.

"What if we come back and start from there, only to encounter snow again when we reach here?" Yu Linglong asked.

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "That would be quite the coincidence, right?"

"What if, after this snow stops, the canyon is filled with snow deeper than a person? What will we do then?" Yu Linglong asked again.

Ling Feng was startled: "If that’s the case, we’ll just give up on exploring. We can come back next summer when the snow melts!"

"It seems you really aren’t that interested."

Yu Linglong said, getting to her feet and moving beside him, "Let’s go back then!"

"Are you sure?"

Ling Feng didn’t know if she was just speaking out of irritation, so he looked up and asked.

"Yes, let’s go!" Yu Linglong nodded.

"Alright."

Ling Feng didn’t think much of it, packed up all his belongings, and then took out a white disk.

He had thought they would teleport back to the Second Layer Heaven instantly, but unexpectedly, the disk only flashed with a white light, and nothing happened!

Ling Feng: "..."

After trying once more, the result was the same!

"We’re in trouble now; we might not be able to go back!" Ling Feng said with a frown.

Yu Linglong also appeared surprised and took the disk to examine it, then shook her head helplessly, "I don’t know what to do either, it seems like we can’t leave without completing this final map!"

"If I had known earlier, I should have been more cautious at the time!"

Ling Feng let out a sigh, but then his eyes brightened: "It doesn’t matter, there’s another way!"

After saying this, he took out the satellite phone.

With this, no matter where you are in the world, you can make contact with home!

But on second thought, Ling Feng put the phone away again.

Seeing this, Yu Linglong curiously asked: "Why not make the call?"

"With this weather, what’s the use of calling? Who can come to take us away?" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.

"Then we can only wait for the snow to stop."

Yu Linglong bit her lip, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes!

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng asked: "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing."

Yu Linglong shook her head, turned back to the cave entrance, and sat down directly on the rocks without minding.

Seeing this, Ling Feng took out the moisture-proof mat again: "Better sit on this, to avoid catching a cold."

Yu Linglong thanked him and took it over.

Time passed slowly, the sky grew darker, but the howling wind gradually calmed.

Ling Feng looked outside the cave and found that although the wind had died down, the snowflakes hadn’t stopped. The snow continued to flutter down from the sky, with no indication of when it might end.

Yu Linglong kept staring outside, her perfect side profile incredibly captivating, not the least inferior to Ling Yao or Long Xiaoyu.

Watching her delicate nose, Ling Feng couldn’t help asking: "Aren’t you bored just sitting there? Don’t you want to rest for a bit?"

Yu Linglong turned her head back: "How should I rest?"

"I have a sleeping bag, you can lie down next to the fire and sleep for a while!" Ling Feng said.

"No, thanks, I’m not used to sleeping with a man nearby!" Yu Linglong shook her head.

"Alright then!"

Ling Feng didn’t press further as it might seem he had ulterior motives, so he stood up: "You sit here, I’ll go check further inside the cave."

"Okay."

Yu Linglong replied with a simple word.

Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, wishing he had brought Li Fei’er along. The little girl was lively and cute, and at least talking to her could alleviate the boredom, right?

Having such an icy Yu Linglong for company was truly dull!

He walked deeper into the cave, keeping his Divine Sense active and scanning ahead, Ling Feng slowly made his way into the interior of the cave.

Not knowing how this extensive cave came to be, Ling Feng carefully observed the ceiling and the walls on both sides while walking, feeling that there was no sign of man-made excavation, completely natural.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything of value inside this cave, just pitch-black stones.

After walking a few hundred meters, his Divine Sense reached the end of the cave.

It was a dead end inside, still nothing at all!

"What a waste of time!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and turned back.

Upon returning to the entrance, he found that Yu Linglong had fallen asleep against a rock.

Hearing footsteps, she instantly turned her head alertly and saw it was Ling Feng, then she asked indifferently: "Did you find anything?"

"I found this place is empty, nothing at all!"

Ling Feng smiled and took out the sleeping bag, placing it beside the fire: "Don’t force yourself to stay up, I saw you were already asleep just now, hurry up and lie down to rest a bit!"

Yu Linglong was somewhat conflicted internally but looked at him and asked: "What about you?"

"I’ll stay at the entrance and keep watch for you, don’t worry!" Ling Feng said.

"Oh, thank you."

Upon hearing that, Yu Linglong didn’t say much else, got up, and returned to the side of the fire.

Ling Feng kept his word, walked to the entrance, and sat down on the moisture-proof mat.
