Chapter 2599 - 2598: Bird King
The night was deep, and Ling Feng was in no hurry to continue on his journey, so he took out the spaceship at the edge of the forest as a residence and lit a fire on the grass.
Xiangxue was already accustomed to living with him, and at this moment, she sat not far away with a tranquil expression, then chuckled and said, "The air on this planet is very good, suitable for retirement, so I guess the people living here must be quite old!"
"Is that so? What else can you think of?" Ling Feng asked.
"With the level of civilization development in this star system, and the fact that this planet’s environment is so well protected, it might have been extensively reconstructed and redeveloped, so the people living here might all be wealthy or noble, and ordinary people wouldn’t have the qualifications to live here!" Xiangxue said.
"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Ling Feng nodded and then laughed, "That’s even better, it will be easier for us to gather information this way!"
"Yes, since they’re the elite, they must know a lot."
Xiangxue said and then added, "I just wonder about their abilities, if there are any truly powerful figures among them."
"I think it’s unlikely."
Ling Feng shook his head, "I can survive for a while in a vacuum, but it seems they don’t have this ability, so isn’t the difference already clear?"
"Oh, that’s right." Xiangxue nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and as the night grew deeper, they returned to the spaceship to rest.
The next morning, Ling Feng and Xiangxue got up, tidied themselves, and ventured deeper into the inland.
Walking across the plains, the fragrance of the flowers and grass was refreshing, making Ling Feng and Xiangxue feel less like they were on a mission and more like they were enjoying a vacation.
But this feeling only lasted for the morning, and before noon, a sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from the sky, followed by three small flying machines appearing!
Soon, the three spacecraft lowered their altitude, hovering twenty meters above Ling Feng and Xiangxue.
"Who dares to trespass on the Bird King’s private domain?" A cold voice came from one of the flying machines.
"We didn’t know this was a private domain, and we didn’t mean to trespass!" Ling Feng said.
He had already learned the language during their last confrontation, so he replied very fluently.
The flying machines were unmanned, with the voice transmitted via radio. At this moment, the voice continued, "Not knowing is not a reason. You will now follow us; the Bird King wants to deal with you!"
"Oh..."
Ling Feng didn’t say much, thinking to himself, what kind of joke is this Bird King? I’ll see soon enough.
The three flying machines turned and led the way, maintaining a certain altitude.
Ling Feng and Xiangxue followed after them.
They didn’t walk slowly, but rather increased their pace to keep up with the three flying machines.
Walking like this for nearly an hour, they came across a cluster of white buildings.
From afar, those white buildings appeared quite sprawling, with wide intervals between them, resembling a small town.
Ling Feng thought to himself, since it’s the Bird King’s territory, are the residents here also his servants?
Out of curiosity, he immediately expanded his Divine Sense.
But before he could scan the buildings, Ling Feng suddenly felt a pain in his head, his Divine Sense actually interfered with by some signal!
"I underestimated them, they even have the ability to block brainwaves!"
Ling Feng thought to himself and didn’t continue to use his Divine Sense to scan.
Continuing to follow the flying machines forward, they hadn’t even reached the buildings when several strange-looking vehicles rushed out.
The vehicles stopped in front of Ling Feng, and then a few uniformed men emerged from them.
As expected, their appearances included antennae on their heads.
With eyes met, one of them said seriously, "Who are you?"
"Our spaceship crashed, and we inadvertently ended up here!" Ling Feng evasively said.
"This entire area is the Bird King’s territory, no matter what reason you use for trespassing, you will be punished, get in the car!" the man shouted.
Ling Feng didn’t respond and cooperatively got in the car with Xiangxue.
The interior structure of these vehicles was somewhat different from Earth’s cars, but they were just transportation tools.
After sitting down, the car departed, and Ling Feng glanced at the people supervising them, "Where are we going?"
"You will know soon,"
The other party said expressionlessly and coldly.
Seeing this, Ling Feng didn’t bother to ask further.
The car didn’t travel far, stopping shortly after, and the uniformed people got off first, shouting to Ling Feng, "Alright, you two get out!"
Ling Feng and Xiangxue got out of the car and found themselves inside a large building.
But it was empty here, with nothing around, leaving them clueless about its purpose.
As they wondered, one of the uniformed men said, "By the Bird King’s order, for trespassing into the restricted area, you are now sentenced to death, execution will be immediate!"
"What the hell?"
Ling Feng was not having it, what a serious crime? To the point of direct execution?
On what supposedly highly civilized star system can this sort of thing still happen?
Seeing the other party had taken out an unknown weapon resembling a gun, Ling Feng knew he couldn’t play dumb any longer.
So, the Mind Soul Art was activated instantly, and the people around him immediately rolled their eyes and fainted.
Ling Feng didn’t kill them; these guys were just minions. His real target was the Bird King.
This guy is really unreasonable!
There was no one else inside the building. Ling Feng grabbed Xiangxue’s hand and walked straight out the door.
Outside, they saw it was already the central area of the white building cluster, with very wide streets but no cars or people in sight.
Looking around, Ling Feng decided to head toward the tallest building not far away, figuring the Bird King might be there.
But just a few steps in, a piercing sound filled the air, sounding like an alarm bell.
In a moment, hundreds of uniformed people emerged from various buildings, surrounding Ling Feng and Xiangxue.
Seeing them, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "Where is your Bird King?"
"How daring! You dare resist; you’re seeking death!" someone responded.
Ling Feng chuckled, thinking, I was already going to be killed by you, isn’t resistance allowed?
Glancing at the person, he left this one guy to witness what would happen next, and then activated the Mind Soul Art again.
Hundreds of people collapsed like a swath of dominos, unable to move, leaving the one who spoke earlier dumbstruck, utterly stupefied.
