Chapter 2429: Chapter 2428: Search
Feiyan only managed to say "You’re really bad" before she didn’t have a chance to say anything more.
Ling Feng’s lips already sealed hers.
On the wild desert, in the warm tent, the two of them were entangled passionately...
The time came to the next morning, the sun rose.
"I’m all sweaty, if only I could take a bath."
Feiyan lay on Ling Feng’s chest, murmuring softly.
"That’s not hard at all."
Ling Feng chuckled and said, "I’ll get you a big bucket of hot water in a moment!"
"Really? Aren’t you in a hurry to find Mu Di’s whereabouts?" Feiyan asked.
"What’s there to hurry about? The Elder didn’t say we must find him. We’re just here to try our luck, and I was pretty satisfied capturing that sand scorpion last night."
Ling Feng smiled and patted her shoulder: "Compared to letting you take a bath, finding Mu Di is nothing!"
Feiyan: "...."
That’s what he said, but in reality, after preparing the hot water and letting her soak in the tent, Ling Feng went out to find Little Fei to report on the situation.
From yesterday to now, Little Fei already controlled hundreds of thousands of insects.
This desert looks like a forbidden zone of life, but beneath the yellow sand lie countless types of insects.
These insects have already formed a food chain.
But even though Little Fei controls many insects, the desert area is even larger, so for searching, it could only cover an area of one square kilometer at a time, and then slowly progress forward.
Ling Feng didn’t know how big this desert really was, but just relying on his own sense, it seemed to be at least a few thousand square kilometers.
And Little Fei’s capabilities are limited, unable to control all the insects in the entire desert, so it’s already at its limit doing this much.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was in a good frame of mind, not necessarily needing to find Mu Di’s body, just relying on luck to give it a try.
Soon enough, Little Fei commanded the insects to start moving under the sand layers, advancing deeper into the desert with a carpet search style.
Over on Feiyan’s side, after taking a bath, changing her clothes, and fixing her hair, she came out from the tent.
Having just taken a hot bath, her cheeks were still rosy, looking very adorable, and Ling Feng couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Feiyan didn’t mind his gaze, smiled, and walked over: "Are we going further into the desert?"
"Yes."
Ling Feng nodded, then said, "But there’s no rush, first pack up the stuff, then check on that sand scorpion."
Having said that, he began to tidy up the items, putting away all the gear he took out yesterday.
After packing up, Ling Feng summoned Tian Lian.
Seeing she had recovered well, without any hint of yesterday’s weakness, Ling Feng smiled and said, "You worked hard last night."
"It’s nothing, it’s what I should do," Tian Lian said.
"How’s the sand scorpion now?" Ling Feng asked.
"It’s been completely subdued, but it’s still thinking about its inner core," Tian Lian said.
Ling Feng smiled: "Since it’s already my little buddy, it’s only right to return it."
Then he had Tian Lian release the sand scorpion.
The creature was still in its transformed state, so it wasn’t very large.
But upon coming out and feeling the intense sunlight, it immediately burrowed into the sand, leaving only a part of its head exposed.
Ling Feng saw this and asked, "Really, even at this level, you’re still afraid of the sun?"
"Master, I’m indeed not afraid of sunburn, but it’s an instinct I can’t overcome," the sand scorpion said.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng was speechless, then said, "I called you out for nothing else, just to return your inner core."
"But I need to revert to my original form first, I can’t swallow the inner core in transformed form!" the sand scorpion said.
"Alright, go ahead and revert."
Ling Feng nodded, pulling Feiyan and leaping into the air.
In the blink of an eye, a massive figure appeared over the desert.
It wasn’t clear at night, but seeing the full body of the sand scorpion by day, Ling Feng clicked his tongue.
Feiyan’s eyes were wide with amazement, saying, "Such a big body, with such an enormous size, just crawling over could flatten a small town!"
"Yes, this thing is indeed huge!"
Ling Feng nodded, took out the enormous inner core, and tossed it down.
The sand scorpion quickly absorbed it, fearing it might get snatched again.
Afterwards, Ling Feng and Feiyan landed, standing on its back, then said, "From today on, I’ll give you the name Little Sha!"
"Yes, Master."
Having been refined, the sand scorpion’s loyalty to Ling Feng was very high, agreeing immediately.
"By the way, I came to the desert to find someone who went missing here a thousand years ago, do you have any clues?" Ling Feng asked.
"A human corpse? I haven’t seen any."
The sand scorpion quickly replied and then said, "If Master needs, I can help you find it."
"Uh, with a body as huge as yours, if you run around the desert, wouldn’t you damage the corpse?" Ling Feng said.
"No, I won’t move, I’ll let my little buddies search instead!" the sand scorpion said.
Ling Feng was stunned: "Your little buddies?"
"Yes."
The sand scorpion said, adding, "I’ve lived in this desert for so long, I’ve raised a troop of sand scorpions."
"How many?" Ling Feng asked.
"The number is about a million," the sand scorpion said.
"Wow, that many?"
Ling Feng was pleasantly surprised, quickly saying, "Then summon them quickly, and with Little Fei’s controlled insects, flip this desert upside down for me!"
"Alright!"
The sand scorpion said, then slightly moved its body.
Then Ling Feng and Feiyan saw its wide carapace on its back suddenly split open, and countless palm-sized black scorpions crawled out!
This scene looked rather terrifying, especially for those with trypophobia, they’d likely cry out.
Although Feiyan didn’t have that condition, she still shivered, quickly jumping into Ling Feng’s arms.
While Ling Feng felt his skin crawl, he still held her shoulder, softly comforting, "Don’t be afraid, just turn your head and don’t look."
Countless black scorpions hit the ground, burrowing into the yellow sand like a tide, disappearing in an instant.
As for what the sand scorpion should do next, Ling Feng merely instructed it to let those black scorpions search the desert freely.
A million strong, it’s like multiplying the chance of finding Mu Di by a million, which is quite good.
With Little Fei in front and Little Sha behind, Ling Feng and Feiyan took off directly, heading deeper into the desert.
