Chapter 426 Cave
In the past few days, Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang had been following Xun Qianqian around Second Layer Heaven, eating, drinking, and taking care of all their needs there. As a result, the two creatures had grown bigger than Wang Cai.
Now a wolf and two dogs, their size was comparable to that of a tiger, their bodies all tight with muscle. No wonder Lin Hu was scared.
Just their ferocious appearance alone would cause most people to faint in fear, yet he was relatively composed.
Wang Cai sniffed around in the vehicle, then let out a long howl towards the sky, and charged into the roadside shrubbery!
Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang followed closely after, and the three figures disappeared in an instant!
"These are your...?"
Lin Hu turned to ask Ling Feng, only to discover that he and Xun Qianqian had also vanished!
Beyond the roadside shrubs lay the mountains, and by now the night had deepened, everything shrouded in pitch darkness. Lin Hu had no choice but to pray in his heart, "I hope my sister is okay, otherwise, otherwise..."
He couldn’t even bear to think about the consequences.
At this moment, Ling Feng had already entered the mountains, following closely the figures of Wang Cai and the other two, his heart equally filled with utmost tension.
Lin Xue was initially on her way to Shiliu Village. It was unknown why she stopped her car halfway, and now she was missing. If someone intended to harm her...
With this thought, Ling Feng shivered, his heart hanging in his throat!
Then came Wang Cai’s barking from ahead, and he immediately sprinted with all his might!
A dark figure emerged ahead and swiftly dived into the dense forest, but Wang Cai and the two Qiangs didn’t give chase. Instead, they were howling in that direction,
As Ling Feng approached, he realized they were protecting Lin Xue!
She was lying on the cold ground, eyes tightly shut. Ling Feng quickly picked her up and found her breathing steady and no visible injuries, which eased his mind.
Then he shouted at Wang Cai, "Catch that person for me!"
"Zoom, zoom, zoom!"
The three figures immediately darted out!
Xun Qianqian also caught up by then. Seeing the situation, she quickly asked, "How’s Xiao Xue?"
"She’s fine, just been drugged unconscious."
Having said that, Ling Feng immediately began to help Lin Xue eliminate the drug from her body.
After a short while, Lin Xue furrowed her brow, then opened her eyes.
"You scared me to death, are you okay?" Ling Feng asked, holding her.
"Where is this?"
Lin Xue looked at him and turned her head to look around, her face filled with confusion.
"You’re in the mountains. Who drugged you just now?" Ling Feng asked.
"What?"
Lin Xue was stunned, a flash of bewilderment crossed her eyes: "I was drugged unconscious?"
"You don’t remember?" Ling Feng was immediately taken aback.
"I..."
Lin Xue rubbed her head and thought hard for a moment, then said: "I only remember finishing work, driving over to your place, and then I can’t recall anything else!"
Ling Feng: "..."
It was only a few minutes by car from the police station to where she had stopped on the road, and yet she couldn’t remember these crucial few minutes!
The situation was getting complicated.
The person who intended to harm Lin Xue was clearly well-prepared.
"It’s fortunate you’re fine. Wang Cai has gone after that person; he shouldn’t be able to get away!" Ling Feng said through clenched teeth.
Lin Xue struggled to stand up from his embrace, looking puzzled, "Who could it be?"
"Not sure; it could be targeted at you, or maybe because of me. We have to find that person!"
Ling Feng looked at the dark mountains and wondered if Wang Cai and the others could bring the person back.
While waiting, a flashlight shone from the distance, and Lin Hu ran over, gasping for breath. Seeing Lin Xue was all right, he immediately relaxed, "You scared me to death; as long as you’re okay, Xiao Xue!"
"Brother, you came too. I’m fine, don’t worry," Lin Xue said.
"How could I not worry? You scared me to death. If something had happened to you, how could I explain it to Dad!" Lin Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Lin Xue was startled, "You didn’t tell him about this, did you?"
"How could I not? I called him while I was on the way to find you!" Lin Hu said.
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Lin Xue immediately sighed, "This is going to be trouble!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng was a bit puzzled, "What’s wrong? Why do you say that?"
"If my dad knows, he will definitely come over. Then, he will surely force me to leave this place," Lin Xue said, pouting.
"Forget Dad, I would make you leave too. This is too dangerous. What if something really happened to you?" Lin Hu said.
"I’m fine, aren’t I? And how often do such accidents happen?" Lin Xue rolled her eyes.
But at that moment, Ling Feng said, "Lin Hu is right. I’m a bit frightened now too. If it’s targeted at me, no problem, but if it’s at you, I can’t bear such an accident!"
"You, what do you mean?" Lin Xue asked with wide eyes.
Before Ling Feng could reply, a dark shadow rushed from afar. Seeing that it was Da Qiang coming back, Ling Feng was immediately stunned.
It came back alone, without a trace of Wang Cai or Xiao Qiang, what was happening?
As he puzzled over this, Da Qiang ran up and started tugging at his trouser leg, pulling him in the direction of the mountains. Ling Feng understood right away!
Wang Cai and the others must have discovered something and sent this fellow back to report!
With this thought, Ling Feng quickly said to Lin Xue and the two others, "You follow behind; I’ll go ahead and check!"
He was about to go when he turned back and added, "If anything happens, just yell for me!"
"Got it; don’t worry about us!" Xun Qianqian said.
Lin Xue also nodded, drawing her pistol from her waist, "Don’t worry; I can take care of myself!"
Ling Feng glanced at her and said nothing more, following Da Qiang into the mountains at a full sprint.
Man and dog darted through the woods, and after covering not too great a distance, roughly a kilometer, Ling Feng arrived at the foot of a cliff.
Wang Cai and Xiao Qiang burst out, barking twice at the bushes.
It seemed they hadn’t caught the shadow but had found something here, so they had brought him over to see.
"Wang Cai, go and bring Qian Qian and Lin Xue over; I’m going to check this out!"
After saying that, Ling Feng stepped forward.
Passing through the dry brush, a not very conspicuous cave entrance appeared at the base of the cliff, dark and foreboding.
Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang rushed in ahead, and Ling Feng knew there was no danger inside, so he quickly followed.
To his surprise, he found a whole new world within the cave; the entrance was small on the outside, but inside it was vast, like a basketball court!
Ling Feng turned on his phone’s flashlight and scanned the area with the dim light, instantly noticing signs of human activity in the cave!
Taking a few steps further, he found some living garbage, food packaging that had been eaten, mineral water bottles!
Walking further in, he was shocked to see a set of bedding!
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was dumbfounded, "Someone is actually living in such a remote mountain?"
