“Feiyu, please be safe!”
Jiang Feng’s feet kept on shaking as he sat in the helicopter.
He was not nervous. He was afraid. Afraid that something would happen to Ling Feiyu.
He had already made the decision if he were to meet Baili Shenye again, he would kill him!
Everyone had their own personal grievances.
There would only be one result for those who crossed the line. Death!
His father was the most important person to him. And now, Ling Feiyu was too!
Therefore, if someone were planning to harm his dad and Ling Feiyu, he would not let any of them live.
“Hurry up!”
Jiang Feng looked at the time and told the pilot.
The pilot looked at Jiang Feng’s cold demeanor, and then remembered Jiang Feng’s identity, and said quickly, “Yes, yes…”
As the helicopter’s speed increased, Jiang Feng became slightly better emotionally.
Because he knew that the closer he was to Ling Feiyu, the safer she would be.
***
Eight hours had passed.
The sky was getting darker.
The weather was still quite cold as it was not long after the new year.
As a girl, Ling Feiyu did not wear too much since she had vehicles picking her up to wherever she needed to be.
The Winter in the Northeast region could drop to negative twenty degrees, even negative thirty degrees, especially at night.
Even if she had been covered by a thick layer of leaves and branches in the hole that was dug by Leiya, she was so cold that she was shivering and her lips had turned violet.
As she did not eat anything at all, her body did not have enough calories, and that made her feel even colder.
Huff…
Ling Feiyu breathed out. After staying in a hole for around seven hours in such cold weather, her body began to freeze and even her consciousness had started to become muddled.
“No… I cannot die. I haven’t gotten married to my Little Feng yet. I cannot die!” She mumbled to herself and opened up her palm. There was one-half of an Enhancing Pill left in her hand. She pinched off slightly less than half of it and ate it.
After eating then Enhancing Pill the size of a grain, she could feel the heat in her body and her hunger had mostly dissipated. Her consciousness had also been mostly restored.
The reason that she could stay awake until now was all because of the Enhancing Pill. Otherwise, she would have fallen unconscious.
She did not dare go out as she could hear the footsteps of people walking past every once in a while. She also did not dare to make a sound. She held her breath and then observed what was happening outside of a small opening.
“You idiots. You still can’t find that b*tch after such a long time?”
Baili Shenye roared out angrily and irritably.
“Boss, keep your mouth to yourself. Mount Changbai is huge. Who knows where she could be hiding? We’re not tourists, so we want to find her earlier and finish the mission as well,” Carl said, annoyed.
“Alright. Continue searching for her. As long as you can find her, I will give you another five million!” Baili Shenye said.
“Brethren, do your best in your search. Do not leave any bush and corner unchecked. Once we’re done with this one, we can rest for a few years!” Carl rallied his men.
When the mercenaries heard Carl’s words, their search became quicker and much more thorough.
They would even search for small bushes and caverns.
Not only that, but all his men also had infrared goggles with them. Nothing alive could escape their eyes.
When Ling Feiyu, who was hiding in the hole, heard the sound of the search party coming closer, her heart beat faster as well. She was becoming hyper-focused and extremely nervous.
‘Don’t come closer!’
‘Don’t come closer!’
…
She was praying in her heart, and at the same time hoping that Jiang Feng would appear next to her, hold her in his arms, and say to her, “Don’t worry, Feiyu, don’t be afraid. I’m here!”
But she knew that even if Jiang Feng had taken the plane and flown from Suhai City, he would need at least dozens of hours since this area was unreachable by plane. He would still need to spend a long time here by the wheel.
As the sound of the search came closer, the more her hopelessness intensified.
Rustle…
One of Carl’s underlings had finally reached the area where she was hiding, and he was using his equipment to clear up the grass.
Whoosh…
Just as the man was going to reach her, the sound of a helicopter coming from the sky appeared all of a sudden.
The man that was clearing the grass stopped and looked into the sky.
“Damn it, why would there be helicopters in this place?!”
Carl looked at the helicopter that was getting closer in the air, and his face paled.
Baili Shenye looked at the helicopter and said with a similarly pale face, “That is the helicopter from the Animal Arena. I never thought that the Shifter Emperor could get here so quickly using a helicopter. Have everyone lie in ambush and kill everyone that came!”
While Carl did not know who the Shifter Emperor was, he knew that if his boss told them to lay in ambush, he would follow suit. “Find cover!”
As soon as he had said that, all thirty of his followers found their own places to hide.
Coincidentally, the man that was clearing the grass near where Ling Feiyu was hiding immediately crouched down in the grass near where Ling Feiyu was hiding.
Whoosh…
The helicopter was hovering directly above the area where Baili Shenye was hiding, and it slowly descended.
As it was all trees nearby, the helicopter could not directly land on the ground.
“Find a landing spot and refuel, then wait for me!”
Jiang Feng said to the pilot as he jumped down without any sort of safety measures with Xiaohei following behind him, and the pilot could only watch in astonishment.
Xiaohai could fly, so it naturally flew out of the helicopter.
He fell very quickly, and when he was on his way down, he extended both his hands and caught onto a very thick branch. After spinning a few rounds around the tree branch to lessen the force, he then landed safely on the ground.
Xiaohei was much more brutal. He directly fell onto the ground. The moment that he touched down, his four limbs that were unbelievably tough even created four holes on the ground.
“Screech~ Boss, the light disappeared around here. There are people to your One, Three, Six, Nine, and Twelve O’Clock. All of them have guns, be careful!” Xiaohai let out a screech and informed Jiang Feng, but no one else knew the Beast’s Tongue.
After Jiang Feng had landed, he did not look in the directions that Xiaohai had told him about. Instead, he walked into the forest, but he would take short glances at the giant trees that no one was hiding behind.
As he walked, he yelled out, “Shen Ye*, come out! As long as you free Ling Feiyu, we can talk about anything!”
The reason that he did that was to redirect the sniper’s attention so that he could get closer to some cover. Xiaohei was doing the same.
T/L note: Yes, he is calling him by his in-game name.
“Boss, Sis Feiyu and Leiya’s scents are present here. It is the strongest at your Seven O’Clock!”
Xiaohai continued to circle in the air far above the trees and continued to pass on information to Jiang Feng.
…
When Ling Feiyu, who was hiding in the hole, heard Jiang Feng’s yelling, her eyes became wet. In order to stop herself from crying, she closed her mouth tightly with her hands.
Despite doing that, her tears still flowed down from her face, and made her hands covering her mouth wet!
The moment that one had found something to depend on in despair was the moment when one became emotional. Ling Feiyu had that feeling at this moment.
She wanted to immediately jump into Jiang Feng’s arms and cry out loud.
However, she did not do that, as her mind told her that once she had been discovered, she would become his burden. And might even get him killed!
“Little Feng, please stay safe. Go, go…”
At this time, she wanted to meet Jiang Feng but did not want to meet him too.
Because she knew that they had guns, and Jiang Feng would not be able to defeat them all. If he stayed here, his life would be in danger.
