Chapter 696: People Can’t Always Be Unlucky
Is it possible that blue cats are very common these days? No, this is not just an ordinary blue cat, this is a dark blue one.
Hmm... No! Even dark blue cats are rare. Paimon felt that the world was in chaos. What was going on? It was getting more and more outrageous. Paimon kept muttering in the air, feeling very puzzled by this strange phenomenon.
Walking out of Liyue Harbor and into the Tianheng Mountain, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The warm sea breeze gradually faded away, replaced by the fresh but slightly cool mountain air. In the distance, the mountains are undulating and continuous, like the uplifted spine of the earth, carrying the weight of the years. The mountains are lush with vegetation and shaded by green trees. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, like a dream.
Lin Feng gave an order, and Ba Che became normal size. In an instant, the docile and cute cat curled up on Lin Feng's shoulder disappeared without a trace, replaced by an extremely ferocious tiger. The tiger was agile and muscular, and each muscle seemed to contain endless power, exuding a frightening majesty. Its fur was shiny and glossy, and it shone with a metallic luster under the sunlight, like a natural armor, reflecting a dazzling light that made people dare not look directly at it. The huge claws were deeply embedded in the ground, and the solid land was instantly scratched into several deep gullies, raising a cloud of dust, and fine sand and gravel flew in the air. The sharp teeth flashed coldly in the sun, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, as if it could easily tear apart any prey that dared to provoke it.
Seeing this sudden change, even Kong, who was always calm and composed and had experienced countless adventures, felt a little confused. This change was too sudden and magical, beyond his expectations, and it was difficult for him to adapt to it for a while.
The originally well-behaved cat turned into such a ferocious beast in the blink of an eye. The visual and psychological impact made Kong stunned.
Lin Feng climbed onto the back of Ba Che skillfully, his movements were light and agile. He was riding on the tiger's back, and when he looked back and saw the two people still standing there in a daze, Lin Feng was quite helpless and shouted loudly: "What are you two doing? Hurry up, we have to go to the Layered Rock Abyss quickly, time is running out, let's hurry up." His voice echoed in the mountains, with a hint of urgency, urging Kong and Paimon.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Kong and Paimeng came back to their senses. Paimeng hurriedly flew to Ba Che's side, and then carefully climbed onto its back, cautious in every move, fearing that he would slip off accidentally. Kong followed closely behind, and he was agile, and with a neat flip, he rode steadily on the tiger's back.
Looking at Ba Che who was ready to go, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then warned him seriously: "Slow down, you must slow down, speed is secondary, safety is the first. And the most important thing is, remember to take the small road." Lin Feng knew very well that the mountain road was rugged and full of unknown dangers, and the purpose of their trip was to investigate the commission, not to rush, so safety always came first.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Ba Che shook his head helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart: Why is this person so annoying? Really, isn't it better to just reach the destination quickly? Why does he have to make so many demands? He grumbled in his heart, but still nodded. Then, the three of them rode on the tigers and rushed towards the Layered Rock Abyss.
"I don't know how difficult this commission is." After seeing that Ba Che's speed was not too outrageous, Paimeng was completely relieved and started chatting with the two.
Listening to Paimon's words, Kong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. He frowned slightly, lost in thought, and was full of uncertainty about this commission. They knew very little about the details of this commission, and only got a vague mission direction from Catherine. No one could predict what kind of challenges were hidden ahead. Kong also knew the uncertainty of this adventure, but since he had accepted it anyway, he might as well complete the commission.
Lin Feng touched his chin and fell into thought. After thinking for a while and combining it with Catherine's expression at that time, he suddenly realized that this time it seemed really not simple. "Do you still remember Catherine's expression? According to my inference, as long as Catherine shows that expression, it means that this commission is definitely not simple." Lin Feng's eyes became serious. As a receptionist of the Adventurer's Association, Catherine is experienced and has seen countless commissions. Her expression often reveals some key information of the commission. The expression that seems to be relieved but with a hint of worry makes Lin Feng feel that this commission will not be easy.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Paimon thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. He widened his eyes and said in surprise: "I just thought about it carefully, and it seems to be exactly the same as what Lin Feng said. As long as Catherine shows that look of relief, our commissions seem to be never easy." Paimon thought of the commissions that Catherine received several times when she showed that expression. Each time was full of difficulties and obstacles, and it was still fresh in his memory.
Hearing this, Kong couldn't help but shudder. He thought of the difficult commissions before, and a sense of worry surged in his heart. "I can't imagine what kind of trouble I will encounter this time, and I don't know whether this commission will be difficult or not. I hope it won't be another outrageous commission." Kong muttered to himself, revealing a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
At this point, Kong could only pray. He looked up at the sky, silently praying that everything would go well. In the azure sky, white clouds floated leisurely, as if telling of tranquility and peace. But Kong's heart could not be at peace. After all, the commission had already been accepted. It was impossible to return the commission at this moment... Well... Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible. Kong's heart began to waver. To be honest, he was not completely sure about this commission now.
Seeing Kong's gradually struggling expression, Lin Feng also realized that something was wrong. He patted Kong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be too difficult. After all, it's just an investigation commission. No matter how difficult it is, it can't be more difficult than the commission of the reversed Seven Days Statue." Lin Feng tried to comfort Kong with his previous experience and let him relax. The commission of the reversed Seven Days Statue still made them feel scared. In comparison, no matter how difficult this commission is, it doesn't seem to be more difficult than that time.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Kong thought about it and it seemed to be true. The commission of the reversed seven-day statue was still fresh in his memory, and the process was extremely thrilling.
