Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 949: As If Walking on Flat Ground!
In front of the two people, there was no road left. It was a vast, overgrown barren area.
Although it wasn't as eerily dark as before, arriving at such a place in the middle of the night still instinctively instilled fear.
Fortunately, Mu Yanluo had just witnessed Jiang Feng's extraordinary abilities, which made her feel more at ease, and she followed him closely, feeling a thrill.
They didn't walk much further before finally arriving at the foot of a wild mountain.
The mountain wasn't very high in altitude, but it was large in mass, resembling a giant burial mound from a distance.
"It looks like this is Yaozi Mountain, right? It must be, the Wei Family ancestral tomb must be inside."
Jiang Feng calmly said, "Next, we just need to find the entrance."
At that moment, Jiang Feng led Mu Yanluo around the mountain body of Yaozi Mountain, walking over 200 meters and indeed saw a cave.
This cave wasn't naturally formed; there were clear traces of artificial excavation.
It's likely that the Wei Family previously mined stones from here to mislead, while actually relocating the real ancestral tomb inside.
Now, the cave was pitch black, as if a demon had opened its blood-thirsty mouth!
Mu Yanluo glanced to the side, seeing lush forests surrounding the cave, with branches swaying in the wind like countless ghostly hands dancing wildly.
"Jiang Feng, is this a locust tree? Why do I remember not seeing them when I came to Yaozi Mountain as a child?" She asked in shock.
Jiang Feng replied calmly, "In common sayings, the locust tree is considered very unlucky, evident even from its name, as a ghost tree, and the Wei Family planted so many of them at the cave entrance, definitely activating some feng shui position."
"So... shall we enter the cave to take a look?"
"Hmm."
Jiang Feng took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and walked into the cave first.
Mu Yanluo obediently followed behind him, maintaining a soft daughter-like demeanor.
The cave was three to four meters high, with an entrance leading into a deep, dark tunnel.
The walls on both sides were very damp, and the stones were oddly jagged, giving an eerie feeling.
If Mu Yanluo had come here alone, she would have been too scared to walk, only daring to venture with Jiang Feng.
They walked only a few steps when suddenly, a sharp, eerie screech echoed from ahead!
Mu Yanluo instantly froze!
"What... is that sound?"
The lighter's range wasn't wide, and hearing such an eerie screech from places it didn't illuminate was indeed creepy.
Before Jiang Feng could respond, the screeches from above suddenly increased.
"Screech~"
"Screech Screech~~"
The noises grew more frequent, mingled with the sound of flapping wings, as if many creatures had suddenly awakened!
Jiang Feng frowned, raised the lighter slightly to illuminate above.
Under the faint light, they saw heaps of "mysterious" triangular objects on the cave ceiling and walls!
There were so many, layered on top of each other, almost covering the whole cave. Anyone with a fear of dense objects would probably faint at the sight!
"They're bats."
Jiang Feng's expression was grave.
He could tell at a glance that these bats weren't ordinary; they resembled the blood-sucking bats Alonso had released in Myanmar!
With red eyes and mouths, sharp teeth and claws, they were extremely ugly!
If so many bats swooped down, whether livestock or humans, they'd likely be drained instantly!
And hundreds or thousands of bats, upon hearing calls from their kind ahead, immediately responded.
They opened from their tight clusters, flapping wings, causing the cave ceiling to flash green light, extremely frightening.
The countless dots of green glow were naturally their eyes!
Mu Yanluo felt her scalp tingle immediately!
Women are generally afraid of bats, especially when there are so many, it's terrifying!
"Why are there so many bats here? It shouldn't be..." Mu Yanluo whispered, holding back discomfort.
Normally, bats in caves are normal, but blood-sucking bats are not!
"Wei Yongbo obviously raised them here on purpose to guard his ancestral tomb."
Jiang Feng squinted his eyes and coldly replied.
"So many... how do we get through?" Mu Yanluo's face turned pale, timidly hiding beside Jiang Feng.
"Don't worry."
Jiang Feng remained expressionless.
He pondered for a moment, these blood-sucking bats are surely disastrous here!
But now is not the time to deal with them, there's too many, it'd be a waste of time!
After destroying the Wei Family ancestral tomb, he would set fire to the lot.
"Follow me, I'll keep you safe."
Now, Jiang Feng activated the Devouring Sky Demon Technique, slightly releasing a frightening, powerful aura, then led Mu Yanluo by hand, striding ahead.
Though Mu Yanluo felt anxious, seeing Jiang Feng unafraid, she could only endure her nausea, bracing herself to follow.
Strangely, the originally noisy screeching from the blood-sucking bats across the cave, upon being affected by Jiang Feng's deliberately released aura, all trembled in fear!
It seemed they encountered a natural enemy and dared not stir, only weakly clinging to the walls, cherishing their lives.
This moment astonished Mu Yanluo.
Though she didn't know how Jiang Feng accomplished it, this abnormal scene was surely his doing!
Thus the two boldly traversed the territory occupied by bats, safely and smoothly.
"Phew!"
Mu Yanluo exhaled a long breath, looking back in lingering fear, realizing her legs felt weak.
"Is the danger gone? It scared me!" She spoke softly.
But Jiang Feng never regarded those pesky bats as anything, continuing to walk deeper into the cave.
Suddenly, he saw the path ahead sloping downwards, with large steps.
The foremost step seemed abruptly broken off, without any transition, clearly separated from the steps below!
