"The mountain area has been sealed off, villagers are forbidden to enter, the police are maintaining order, and the safety bureau personnel have already gone up the mountain," said Chen Fei.

"Let’s not delay, hurry up and follow them into the mountain to take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately stood up, his eyes becoming urgent.

Something is amiss, he does not want the safety bureau personnel or police officers to encounter any danger.

The two of them quickly got into the car, this time Ling Feng was driving, while Chen Fei used the phone to contact the police in Liangdong Village to inquire about the latest developments.

This village, Ling Feng had visited several times before; it is now an important production area for Ling Corporation’s Lingyun Tea. Ling Feng certainly knew the way, so the car drove swiftly, heading straight there.

On the way, Chen Fei clarified the current situation: the safety bureau people had entered the mountain to investigate, but so far, nothing particularly special had been discovered.

Upon hearing this news, Ling Feng’s heart was somewhat relieved, and he immediately said to Chen Fei, "Tell them to pause the investigation until I get there."

"Okay!"

Chen Fei nodded and immediately conveyed Ling Feng’s message to the safety bureau side.

And upon hearing Ling Feng was coming, even though he was no longer in the safety bureau’s staff list, who didn’t know his past achievements?

So immediately, the staff promptly withdrew from the mountain area, staying in Liangdong Village waiting for Ling Feng to arrive.

Ling Feng and Chen Fei quickly drove to the destination.

Seeing the villagers of Liangdong Village, police personnel, as well as some staff from Ling Corporation, Ling Feng got out of the car and said to everyone, "Don’t worry, regardless of what happened in the mountain, I won’t let everyone get hurt."

"We trust Mr. Ling!" someone shouted.

"Mr. Ling is here, everything can be solved!" someone echoed.

At this moment, the safety bureau staff came closer and said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, it’s good you came, the situation in the mountain is a bit complicated."

"Hmm, speak slowly, tell me what you have discovered," Ling Feng nodded and said.

The other party quickly reported the situation: after the safety bureau’s four-person team entered the mountain, they also smelled a strange odor, then continued forward to the vicinity of the collapsed mountain peak.

However, the situation there is quite complex now, first, there are no roads, second, the collapse is very deep, and from a distance, you cannot see below.

Later, they deployed a drone for close reconnaissance, but as soon as it reached the airspace, the aircraft lost control and nearly crashed.

Then the team received news of Ling Feng’s arrival, and thus retreated.

After listening, Ling Feng nodded, "I understand, everyone stay in the village, let me go check out the collapse."

"Shall I go with you?" Chen Fei immediately asked.

"No, you stay here, I’ll go take a look, might have to descend to the pit bottom to inspect the situation!"

Ling Feng said, then headed towards the mountain.

Everyone watched his back until he was out of sight.

His Divine Sense had already been deployed, Ling Feng also saw the collapsed place, but the Divine Sense could not enter the pit, which made him feel a bit strange.

Soon he arrived at a place about a kilometer away from the collapse; Ling Feng also smelled a pungent bloody odor.

The terrain here is not high, only the perimeter of the collapse can be seen. Based on the surrounding mountain formation, one can infer the previous mountain peak must be very tall.

A mountain several hundred meters high suddenly collapses, which cannot be achieved by ordinary forces.

Unless there is a huge space underground, and due to an earthquake or geological changes, such an occurrence happens.

But to accommodate a mountain to sink and form a giant pit, the volume of that underground space is conceivable.

Ling Feng stepped forward, discovering there was indeed no road ahead, everywhere were scattered rocks, obviously caused by an earthquake, forming from rocks rolling down the mountain.

This was not a problem for him; Ling Feng took a few leaps and reached above the rock pile, then with a jump, he reached the edge of the pit.

Peering down, Ling Feng froze.

It was pitch black below, shrouded in a black fog, nothing could be seen!

After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng picked up a stone and threw it towards the pit.

"... "

Silence ensued, waited a long while, but surprisingly there was no sound of the stone landing!

"Could it be, is this a bottomless pit?"

Ling Feng was stunned, becoming even more puzzled.

The pit area was larger than a football field, vertically down, with no visible bottom. Ling Feng pondered before deciding to go down and investigate.

But before he could summon Ghost Dragon, Tian Lian spoke first, "Master, why not let Little Fei go?"

"You mean, let insects go down to investigate?" Ling Feng asked.

"Yes!"

Tian Lian nodded, "This way can mitigate risks."

Ling Feng thought it made sense, so nodded, "Alright, let Little Fei come out!"

As soon as he spoke, the massive body of a beetle appeared before him.

Then Little Fei flapped its wings, quickly congregated the surrounding insects.

Thousands of insects gathered into a swarm, which was quite spectacular.

Afterward, those able to fly and those that couldn’t, various insects descended from the pit’s edge.

Ling Feng felt it might take some time to yield results, so he sat on a large rock, patiently waiting.

Feeling bored while waiting, he even summoned Tian Lian, then asked, "Can you sense anything from this aura?"

"Returning to Master, this is an evil aura, I can sense it," Tian Lian said.

"Evil aura?"

Ling Feng paused, then said, "Could there be some evil creature underground?"

"It is very possible!"

Tian Lian nodded, then said, "This pit is too deep and emits a very strong evil aura; whatever is below must be powerful."

"I see..."

Ling Feng pondered for a while and said, "To eliminate it, it’s best to do it from above, it’s more convenient this way!"

"Yes, but how to bring it up is the tricky part."

Tian Lian nodded in agreement.

"Let’s see first, if Little Fei can discover anything, if not, we’ll think of another way." Ling Feng said.

As they talked, time slowly passed until half an hour later, Tian Lian said, "Master, Little Fei responded."

"What did it say?"

"A beetle has landed; most of the other insects perished midway. Even the beetle couldn’t last long below, but it discovered a massive creature lurking underground!" Tian Lian said.

"So there is indeed an evil presence!"

Ling Feng stood up upon hearing this, then said, "Still not sure if this creature will harm people, will have to test it first and see!"

"Master, how do you plan to do that?" Tian Lian asked.

"I can’t leave here, you teleport back to Shankou Village and handle something there!" Ling Feng said.
