The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 981: Bas-relief

Mists began to coalesce, gradually forming clouds.

Standing high and looking far, Ling Feng and Yu Linglong found themselves engulfed in darkness as cumulonimbus cloaked their view.

Glancing at her, Ling Feng managed a bitter smile, "Seems like we might’ve overdone it, a torrential downpour is on the way!"

"That’s perfect, it’ll wash away all the snow!" Yu Linglong replied.

As they were speaking, the sky had turned pitch black, and streaks of lightning began to flash.

"Boom! Rumble!"

Loud thunderclaps resounded, each louder than the last.

With the increasing roar of thunder, the cave echoed with the rumbling, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.

Ling Feng turned his head to look at Yu Linglong and asked loudly, "Are you scared?"

"Not scared!"

Yu Linglong replied loudly.

Though her voice was firm, Ling Feng noticed her shoulders were trembling slightly.

So he chuckled and reached out to grasp Yu Linglong’s shoulders!

She was taken aback, showing a look of surprise, but before she could react, Ling Feng had already pulled her into his embrace!

Their bodies pressed closely together, both Ling Feng and Yu Linglong stiffened.

An odd feeling swept over them, yet neither moved.

Following the thunder, a downpour fell, instantly turning into icy beads mid-air due to the cold temperatures below.

The swishing sound of countless ice beads hitting the snowy surface was heard, dropping the snow level several centimeters in an instant.

The precipitation was much faster than snowfall. In no time, the countless falling ice beads formed a dense curtain, the silken rustling sound filling the space between heaven and earth.

The thunder gradually subsided, but Ling Feng’s hand remained firmly around Yu Linglong’s shoulder, never loosening his grip.

She seemed to have gotten used to the feeling, having not struggled at all from the beginning to now.

After a long while, Yu Linglong turned to look at Ling Feng, "How long do you think it should rain to be appropriate?"

"Just let it keep raining, ideally filling up the gorge so that we can ice skate ahead!" Ling Feng laughed.

"Have you thought about how our destination might end up buried!" Yu Linglong asked.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng hesitated, then understood and nodded, "You’re right; too much could be counterproductive!"

He then looked outside, feeling that the rainstorm had been enough, and quickly turned to remove the Spirit Stone.

"...."

In an instant, calm returned between heaven and earth.

Not a single ice bead fell from the sky; the rain had stopped.

Ling Feng returned to Yu Linglong’s side, reaching out to embrace her shoulder again, but she deftly dodged, then asked lightly, "Still not enough?"

"Hehe!"

Ling Feng chuckled sheepishly, thinking to himself how he could ever get enough of the comfortable feeling of holding her shoulder!

Of course, he couldn’t actually say that, so he could only give a dry laugh.

"With all these ice beads pressing down overnight, we can set off in the morning. You should rest first!" said Ling Feng.

Yu Linglong acknowledged with a hum, turned around, and went back into the cave since the clouds were dispersing, and the moonlight would soon appear.

She snuggled into her sleeping bag and lay down, closing her eyes slightly. Ling Feng, seeing this, didn’t find it appropriate to speak and just watched her for a while.

Yu Linglong didn’t open her eyes again, as if she didn’t know that Ling Feng was watching her.

After a while, Ling Feng stood up and went to the entrance of the cave, sat down facing the outside, and closed his eyes.

It was at this moment that Yu Linglong suddenly opened her eyes and took a look at his silhouette.

...

...

Overnight passed, and after the sun rose, Ling Feng descended from the entrance of the cave.

Thump!

After landing, his feet hit the solid ice, and he immediately cheered!

He then looked up at Yu Linglong: "No problem, it’s solid now!"

"Great!"

Yu Linglong nodded and also leaped down.

Stepping on the smooth ice after landing, she too became curious: "Unexpectedly, it’s become so flat."

"Who cares, isn’t it better if it makes walking easier?"

Ling Feng smiled and began to walk forward.

Yu Linglong was initially not quite used to the slippery ground, looked up at him, and slightly bit her lip.

It’s just that her personality is reserved; had it been a more outgoing girl, she would have long said Ling Feng is such a straightforward guy!

How could he just walk forward on his own at a time like this?

She lifted her steps lightly, tried walking a few steps, and after getting the hang of walking on the ice, Yu Linglong gradually picked up the pace to catch up with Ling Feng.

"Can you still feel the guidance now?" Ling Feng asked without turning his head.

"Yes, it’s not far ahead!" Yu Linglong said.

"Then that’s great, let’s hurry, and try to get back sooner!"

Ling Feng said and immediately increased his speed.

The two of them, one after the other, dashed swiftly through the frozen mountains, and after more than an hour and about a dozen kilometers, they finally saw a huge black cave entrance in the middle of the mountain ahead!

"Could it be there?" Ling Feng asked, pointing.

Yu Linglong nodded: "It should be!"

"Let’s go, the final sprint!"

Ling Feng said and, taking her hand, ran forward!

When they got to the foot of the mountain, both leaped up, each in their own way, onto the cliff!

Then, upon reaching the cave entrance, Ling Feng clicked his tongue: "What a huge cave, much larger than any place we’ve stayed in!"

"It’s not deep, only about thirty meters, let’s hurry in."

Yu Linglong felt her heartbeat accelerate a lot, seemingly with a huge premonition, so after speaking, she rushed in first.

Ling Feng immediately followed her, curious: "Why are you even more eager than me?"

Yu Linglong didn’t speak and in the blink of an eye, rushed to the bottom of the cave!

Here was a giant stone wall, tens of meters high and over twenty meters wide!

When they got closer, both stopped walking, Ling Feng gazed at the complex images on the stone wall, muttering to himself in astonishment: "Holy crap, what’s this?"

The entire stone wall was carved with some tool, forming a large expanse of relief sculpture!

Ling Feng glanced at it a few times, realizing it seemed to be a narrative mural, but he couldn’t make head nor tail of it, nor understand the content on it.

Turning his head to ask Yu Linglong if she understood, he found her body slightly trembling, her shoulders heaving violently as if she was very emotional.

Ling Feng quickly went over to ask: "What’s wrong with you?"

Only then did he notice that Yu Linglong was crying!

Tears streamed down to the corners of her mouth, dripping onto the clothing on her chest!

Ling Feng was stunned, anxiously asking: "What’s the matter, why are you crying?"

Yu Linglong turned her head to look at him, gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, for helping me find my father’s traces!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was completely baffled, looking at her with a blank face: "What, what did you say?"
