After hearing these words, the woman on the other end of the communicator fell silent; there was no sound coming through.
Moments later, she erupted!
"Do you have a giant pit outside your door that makes everyone who goes near it fall in? And when they fall, they either get crippled or seriously injured?!" Her voice was so loud that it made one's ears buzz, as if she were venting some deep emotion.
Chu Feng moved the communicator away from his ear, listening carefully before slowly responding, "Yes, there is indeed a large pit. It used to be a pond, but after it dried up, we planted vegetable seeds and grew vegetables there. Of course, we also planted some fruit trees. If you look closely, the pit is quite noticeable."
On the other end of the communicator, the woman's breathing became heavier, almost as if one could see her chest heaving violently.
Chu Feng hurriedly moved the communicator away from his ear again.
Sure enough, a burst of noise came from the other side.
"I don't have time to discuss ponds and pits with you, nor do I care whether you're planting vegetables or trees. Listen carefully: those people must not be harmed, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you!"
The woman's voice was cold and loud, shouting out her frustrations. She felt she had lost control, but couldn't help herself, raising her voice involuntarily towards the communicator.
This was completely unlike her usual self—noble, dignified, peaceful, elegant—all these qualities seemed far away now, replaced by a raging fire inside her heart.
"But they were mysteriously severely injured after falling into the pit, and it looks like they won't survive much longer. What can I do?" Chu Feng said.
"Find someone to treat them!" the woman commanded.
"Why should I?"
How dare that kid from Mount Taihang speak to her like this?
Slam!
The woman quickly hung up the communicator, realizing that losing control revealed weakness, which wasn't her style.
She needed to calm down, even if it was just a lowly kid from Mount Taihang, insignificant and useless, she didn't want to reveal more of her inner turmoil to him.
Clearly, the woman was enraged, but she could control herself, quickly adjusting her emotions.
She calmed down, no longer agitated, her anger subsiding, eyes flashing with a cold light as she analyzed the situation.
As far as she knew, because Lin Nuoyi had been close to Chu Feng, people from Tian Shen Bioworks had paid attention to him, secretly taking a few strands of his hair for secret testing, confirming that he was unlikely to become an extraordinary person.
"A humble kid without abilities—who's helping him?" the woman muttered to herself, thinking of Lin Nuoyi, wondering if she had noticed something. This thought alarmed her.
But how could that be possible? Lin Nuoyi had always been indifferent to Chu Feng, and recently she had been too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else, waiting for her transformation.
"Bodhi Gene is blocking us?" she frowned, overthinking things.
She pondered Chu Feng, considered internal matters at Tian Shen Bioworks, then suspected Bodhi Gene, a powerful conglomerate.
She took out her communicator, opened the contact list, selected a name called Mu, but hesitated and finally closed it.
Just as she was feeling frustrated, Lin Nuoyi's communicator rang.
Seeing the name, her face stiffened slightly—it was Chu Feng calling. Now she despised him greatly, all recent troubles seemed to involve him.
"Do you have anything else?" she asked coldly.
"It's you who has issues, isn't it? That bat and the big spider are both dying, how long are you going to leave them here?" Chu Feng asked.
"I'll talk to them!" the woman said sternly, maintaining a commanding tone, ordering Chu Feng to hand the communicator to the two.
"I've already told you, both are unconscious, severely injured, barely surviving. Even I was scared half to death, call someone to take them away immediately," Chu Feng urged.
The woman was silent for a moment, telling Chu Feng that within a day or two, someone would come to handle it, instructing him to take good care of them, warning of dire consequences otherwise.
After hanging up, Chu Feng went to sleep happily.
But the woman couldn't sleep, feeling annoyed that she hadn't handled the situation calmly and had let her emotions take over.
"Whether the problem lies with you or others, you must be eliminated!" the woman vowed, her eyes cold, making a decision.
In the morning, Chu Feng sat facing the dawn, practicing special breathing exercises every morning and evening, knowing that it might be more important than the Demon Bull Fist.
From observing the yellow bull, despite its laziness, it never skipped these exercises.
Even its own Bull Demon Fist wasn't practiced as diligently.
After breakfast, Chu Feng called the yellow bull, saying, "Let's go into the mountains."
"Moo!"
The yellow bull scratched on the ground, asking what to do if more people came.
"Their target is me and the missing extraordinary person, neither of whom are here, so what can they do?" Chu Feng smiled, unworried.
Those people wouldn't dare harm him directly, needing to arrange an accidental death scene. Not being there meant nothing would happen.
"Forget it, to save them trouble, I'll leave a note."
Chu Feng wrote a large note, sticking it on the door, knowing that those people wouldn't hesitate to enter.
The note simply read: Recently shocked, going to the mountains for peace of mind.
He even indicated the correct path leading to the mountain where he was headed, noting that anyone with urgent matters could find him there.
If anyone did come, none would escape!
That was Chu Feng's plan, daring anyone who wanted to harm him to bear the consequences.
For that woman, Chu Feng felt intense dislike, waiting for her to send another extraordinary person, planning to eliminate her confidants, cutting off her claws, causing pain to her or those behind her.
But he wouldn't waste time waiting specifically for that.
If they wanted to find him, they'd have to seek him out! If he entered the mountains to hone his skills, any extraordinary persons following would join him.
On the way, Chu Feng thought of Zhou Quan.
"Lately, training in the mountains has improved me rapidly. Despite the dangers, it's truly a good place."
He decided to invite Zhou Quan along for the training.
Zhou Quan, as an extraordinary person, far surpassed ordinary humans. Training in the wilderness could further enhance him.
"Let's first find that fatty."
Now, with significant improvements in physique and strength, traveling a hundred miles was effortless.
Previously, the distance between the county town and Qingyang Town was only about ten miles, but now it stretched over a hundred miles, with mysterious giant mountains appearing along the way.
"Fatty, I'm looking for you. Hurry to the outskirts of the county town, I'll take you somewhere fun," Chu Feng called Zhou Quan.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan seemed very excited, saying, "Lately, I've been bored. After you arrive, Big Brother Fatty will treat you to a feast and then to a bathhouse. As for the 'Fairy Street,' if you're interested, I'll accompany you!"
"What nonsense, I'll take you somewhere better, guaranteed to excite you to your core!" Chu Feng replied.
"What, such a great place exists? How come I don't know? In this county town, I know everything, being a local tough guy," Zhou Quan exclaimed, disbelieving.
"You'll find out soon, just wait!" Chu Feng chuckled.
"Alright, I'll meet you outside the county town!" Zhou Quan was thrilled.
Outside the county town.
A silver-gray car rushed over, Zhou Quan arriving hastily. Seeing Chu Feng, he slammed on the brakes, jumped out, and gave him a bear hug.
Chu Feng was momentarily stunned; was this really Zhou Quan?
Now lean and fit, hardly resembling the former fatso.
Most striking was the exaggerated pompadour hairstyle, with two small horns hidden within.
No wonder Zhou Quan's parents scolded him for looking like a thug, but if not, who else could it be?
Zhou Quan sighed, lamenting the growth of two horns.
"Cheer up, at least you've successfully lost weight," Chu Feng laughed.
Formerly, Zhou Quan had a round belly, chubby face, and large ears, smiling like a Buddha. Now, he was slim and trim.
"Where's the Demon Bull?" Zhou Quan asked, adding, "Also, I brought two cousins who insisted on coming along."
Chu Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Given his current troubles, he didn't want others seeing him with Zhou Quan, hence inviting him outside the town. He'd need to remind Zhou Quan to keep his cousins quiet.
"Demon Bull!" Zhou Quan finally spotted the yellow bull.
It sat on a large stone, holding wild fruits with its front hooves, eating contentedly.
Seeing Zhou Quan, it ambled over, standing on its hind legs.
"Ah!"
Two young men in the distance turned pale, nearly jumping back into their car in fright.
"Calm down, come here!" Zhou Quan called, introducing the yellow bull as an extraordinary creature, albeit imperfectly evolved.
The yellow bull snorted, examining Zhou Quan's pompadour, laughing uncontrollably.
Zhou Quan turned red and white with anger, "What's so funny? At least I have horns!"
The yellow bull scribbled, "Incomplete evolution of a minotaur," pointing at Zhou Quan.
"Don't call me that!" Zhou Quan lunged.
Chu Feng rubbed his forehead, finding it hard to manage these two clashing personalities.
"You're the minotaur, your whole family is!" Zhou Quan continued to argue after being separated.
The yellow bull scoffed.
"Go look up 'minotaur,' don't call me that!" Zhou Quan demanded.
The yellow bull searched on its communicator, laughing harder.
Zhou Quan stared, amazed at the yellow bull's proficiency with technology.
Finally, Zhou Quan instructed his cousins strictly before setting off with Chu Feng into the mountains.
"So, where is this fun place, why are we heading into the mountains?" Zhou Quan asked.
"The path is right, almost there."
"That's good. Is it really exciting?" Zhou Quan eagerly anticipated.
"Trust me, it's an unprecedented thrill, guaranteed to make your heart race. Let's go!" Chu Feng led the way.
"I've heard that there are estates built by conglomerates in the mountains of Mount Taihang. Don't tell me you have connections there? Sounds exciting, perfect for my tastes."
"Don't worry, it's unaffected," Chu Feng assured.
"Perfect, I love excitement. Here comes the haven of comfort!" Zhou Quan shouted excitedly.
