Chapter 506: Chapter 507 Abnormal Situation_1

"You seem quite familiar with the Lei Tan area?"

Yao Yin curiously asked Feng Yuan, who was humming a tune and seemed very happy, clutching the crystal ball. Feng Yuan, with Xiao Ji in one arm, walked ahead without turning back and said,

"Of course, after all, it’s the area where Maomu City is located."

"Moreover, I just visited not long ago..."

"Just visited?!"

Yao Yin said with some dissatisfaction, while Hua Yiyou looked at Feng Yuan skeptically, finding it hard to believe that Feng Yuan would come to such a place.

"Yeah, but that was a special case, not recorded in any data. Right, Tuanzi, show him the data."

Although Feng Yuan did not know where Guo Huai was assigned at the time, he was certain that he hadn’t escaped the influence of time correction. And Guo Huai’s system was different; the time correction surely would not affect him—this much Feng Yuan was certain of.

"Ding! Data loading."

"Ding! Yognot - Pseudo World Clock event details updated, time correction category added to the data bank."

Ignoring the system’s ’ding ding ding’ notifications, Guo Huai looked at the Yognot event data with growing alarm, and finally asked with some trembling,

"Is all this...true?!"

"What else?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said irritably, while Guo Huai, in disbelief, said,

"How can it be..."

"Even the Federation has similar cases; there’s nothing surprising about it. Let’s not discuss this anymore."

Feng Yuan glanced at Hua Yiyou, who with a regretful expression said,

"Could it be a secret you cannot share with us?"

"More or less, since some things are better off not known."

"Your saying that only piques my curiosity further, but never mind."

Hua Yiyou said with a slight smile, well aware that some secrets only cause unnecessary worry when known, and he was not the type to dig into everything. As for the siblings Mo Li and Mo Ling? The Royal Family had too many secrets; those filled with excessive curiosity would have perished long ago.

Feng Yuan turned his head and looked at Hua Yiyou playfully saying,

"I thought you would keep prying~"

"The Divine Lord has warned me that there are many things in this world that are better off not known, as they will only bring one trouble, and there are many situations where knowing would be futile."

"But what if?"

"If it’s not necessary, don’t bet on what-ifs."

Hua Yiyou said calmly, and Feng Yuan pursed his lips in dissatisfaction,

"How boring."

"If you were in our shoes, you would understand."

Mo Ling could not help but speak up, and though Feng Yuan did not respond, he understood that the strength of Mo Li and the others was not enough to crush everything. Hua Yiyou had officials above him, and Mo Li and Mo Ling had the Eldest Prince and his party watching them like hawks; they simply could not bet on a minimal chance because the cost of failure could be more than they could bear.

As Feng Yuan led the way, the trees that once obscured the sky became sparser, and the trickles of sunlight widened into beams, then into patches. Seeing traces of human activity appearing around them, Guo Huai asked in surprise,

"Didn’t you say Lei Tan is quite far from here?"

"Yes, we are currently around the northern part of Cha Mu, near Longze."

"The place where we encountered the Poison Mush was in the southern part of Cha Mu, which is quite far from here."

"Moreover, going around would be very troublesome, but I have no idea what we’ll encounter if we go straight."

Just as everyone was puzzled, the view ahead suddenly opened up to a swiftly flowing river passing far below the edge of a cliff beneath them.

Though the cliff wasn’t particularly high, the presence of another substantial cliff on the opposite side made crossing the river directly quite challenging. Guo Huai looked at Xiao Ji in Feng Yuan’s arms and suggested,

"Let it help?"

"There’s nowhere to land on the other side."

Feng Yuan said, looking towards the dense bamboo forest on the opposite side. Unless Xiao Ji forcibly cleared a space on the other side, there was no way it could land after transforming.

After thinking, Feng Yuan put down Xiao Ji and pulled out his staff, pointing vigorously towards the opposite bank. Several sturdy vines grew from the ground behind them and stretched across to the other side. In a short time, a vine bridge was formed over the rushing river, with steps growing along it due to the elevation on the opposite bank.

"Let’s go."

The Earth Star Panda looked enviously at Feng Yuan. The vines on its shell stretched out and compared themselves to those constituting the vine bridge, only to retract them in disappointment. Hua Yiyou, finding the Earth Star Panda’s actions somewhat amusing, said,

"Why compare yourself to him? He’s too strong; you can’t compete with him."

The Earth Star Panda, a little resentful, gave Feng Yuan a sidelong glance, twitched its small tail, and turned its head away in an apparent huff.

As the last person left the vine bridge, Feng Yuan waved his staff and turning to everyone, said,

"Let’s go."

Behind them, the vines slowly retracted and vanished into the grass.

Walking through the bamboo forest, Feng Yuan’s gaze continually swept around. Guo Huai, puzzled, said,

"What are you looking for?"

"A black and white dumpling, not sure if they have that thing here."

"Are you referring to... the Earth Star Panda? I don’t think we have that here..."

After a brief moment of thought, Guo Huai guessed what Feng Yuan meant. After all, the Earth Star Panda was a famous animal within the Federation. It was said that the nameless hero of the past was very fond of pandas and even had a black and white dumpling.

"Not sure, it would be great if they did~"

Feng Yuan looked around with some anticipation and said, while the shadowy figure of Agunas recalled something, flicked its tail, and said,

"Black and white dumpling? What kind is it?"

Feng Yuan waved his hand, and an image of a cuddly panda made of light and shadow floated in front of Agunas’s shadowy figure. After observing it carefully for a while, the shadowy figure of Agunas said regretfully,

"Probably not, at least I haven’t seen anything like it in the biological atlas."

"That’s too bad..."

Feng Yuan said somewhat disappointedly, while the shadowy figure of Agunas looked at him curiously and said,

"Can’t you look it up yourself?"

"Too lazy to check, it’s too much trouble."

"And it’s not really that important. It’s good to have, but no big deal if it’s not there."

Feng Yuan scratched Xiao Ji in his arms and said,

"Xiao Ji’s fur feels pretty good~"

"A plush toy, huh..."

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. His movement clearly treated Xiao Ji as a plush toy to scratch, but Xiao Ji seemed quite happy about it.

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and asked,

"Is that not okay?"

Noticing that Xiao Ji was also staring at him dissatisfiedly, Guo Huai said speechlessly,

"As long as you guys are happy."

"Strange, something feels off."

As they once again bypassed a troop on the move, Feng Yuan frowned slightly and turned to Guo Huai, saying,

"Sandwich, help me check. Has Great Yan had any special movements lately?"

"I don’t think so?"

Guo Huai scratched his head with some confusion. He had researched the historical data for this period, and as far as he remembered, Great Yan hadn’t made any significant movements during this time.

"It’s very strange. What exactly are they trying to deal with?"

Hua Yiyou wondered, after all, this place wasn’t a border area of Great Yan. If it was a rebellion, they hadn’t heard any signs of it before.

"Shall I send someone to investigate?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Mo Li and waved his hand,

"No need, I’m just a little curious."

Hua Yiyou stroked his chin thoughtfully and said,

"Could they be coming for us?"

"That’s unlikely, our whereabouts haven’t been leaked."

Leading everyone in another direction, Feng Yuan muttered with some dissatisfaction,

"Why are there more and more of them? What exactly are they up to?"

"Perhaps, we need to change direction?"

Hua Yiyou asked cautiously. If there were too many soldiers and they decided to take action against them, it would be quite troublesome to get away. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Fine, let’s avoid them."

As they continued, the soldiers they encountered became more frequent. Mo Li said in a low voice,

"No need to take a detour, let’s investigate what they’re really up to."

Hua Yiyou looked at Mo Li in surprise and said,

"If we do that, what about the safety issues... "

Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"I trust him."

Pointing at himself, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"You sure have a lot of faith in me."
