37: Are you getting off now? Is there any news about Liu Ling'er?
But the spiritual energy in this train was as rich and gentle as the sky and earth, making him absorb the elemental energy within it uncontrollably, completely unwilling to stop.
Was this the feeling of being baptized by spiritual energy?
Ah, this feeling was simply too, too wonderful!
Tong Changshan adjusted his sitting posture; it was a rare and good opportunity, and he had to seize it to cultivate properly.
He thought he could stay on the train all night, but within a few minutes, he heard a 'ding' sound in his mind.
He initially didn't pay it any mind, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he tried to continue cultivating, he found that all the spiritual energy in the train had suddenly disappeared; he couldn't feel its presence at all.
He opened his eyes, looking bewildered at the line of text that appeared before him:
"Destination reached, passengers please disembark."
It was time to get off already?
Tong Changshan looked outside; the sky was still dark.
By the light of the train's headlamps, he could see that the environment here was different from before, so they must have arrived at the outer Wall.
But even if it was the outer Wall, he wouldn't dare walk alone at night here.
"Can I stay on the train?" Tong Changshan asked weakly.
"No. A passenger can only ride the train once within twenty-four hours."
"I'll pay double the fare, no, triple!" Tong Changshan held up his fingers.
He had plenty of money; it was just spirit stones, and he could afford to pay extra.
Anyway, it wasn't his own money.
Besides, he had been hunted down and almost caught, so what was wrong with spending a little money?
He had also stolen it with his own ability.
"A passenger can only ride the train once within twenty-four hours."
Lin Feng still said the same thing; as the saying goes, poverty cannot make one move... in short, it was not allowed.
Tong Changshan sighed as he got off the train, shook his head, and disappeared into the woods, not knowing where he was going.
Lin Feng drove for a while longer; tonight's moon was not full, and there wasn't much light on the road, but his train's headlamps were powerful, and soon he ran into some familiar faces.
"Wow, so bright, what's that ahead?"
Su Duo squinted; the light ahead was too bright, dazzlingly so.
The man beside her was Zhuang Sanming; they had agreed yesterday to take the train tonight to see if they could meet other passengers.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed, because it was too late now, Tong Changshan had already disembarked.
If they had come any later, Lin Feng would have entered maintenance mode, and then they wouldn't even find the train, let alone any passengers on it.
"Isn't that the train we take every day? We finally found it, so it was here all along! Come on, let's go see if there's anyone else on it." Zhuang Sanming pulled Su Duo's arm, rushing towards the tin train impatiently.
Su Duo felt there wasn't much hope; they had snuck out, and because they were afraid of being seen by her mother, they had been delayed for some time, so she guessed there was probably no one left on the train.
Sure enough, after they boarded the train, they found that, apart from four empty seats, there was no one else on board.
"I knew we should have come during the day instead," Su Duo grumbled, pouting.
During the day, they might have run into Wang Dapeng and the others.
"Welcome passengers, please sit down and hold on tight. Please purchase your tickets upon boarding. The fare is one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones."
"It's this price again; it's easy for prices to go up, but hard for them to come down," Su Duo started complaining again.
"The train has become a tin train, so of course the price has to go up, right?" Zhuang Sanming was quite open-minded; he had thought so from the beginning, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the price increase.
After all, compared to a covered wagon, a tin train was naturally better.
He remembered that the covered wagon didn't even seem to have seats, and the space was very cramped.
Zhuang Sanming readily took out one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones and exchanged them for a train ticket.
Su Duo also paid her spirit stones; complaining was one thing, but absorbing spiritual energy was a must.
She relied on this to increase her strength!
The entire outer perimeter of the forest now had no fierce beasts daring to provoke Lin Feng; they were all scared out of their wits, to the point of turning pale at the mention of the train.
Of course, there were also some fierce beasts who developed a deep curiosity about the tin train.
Although they didn't dare to attack the train, they would watch quietly from the side, seemingly trying to figure out how this train managed to knock away all the fierce beasts that attacked it.
Lin Feng drove through the outer Wall of the forest at night with two large headlamps, as if entering an uninhabited land.
As he passed by, the birds and insects all stopped chirping.
It was incredibly quiet.
Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo were even quieter; they were frantically absorbing the spiritual energy in the train, afraid of wasting even a trace, so how could they have time to talk?
After more than ten minutes, they both got off the train, and Lin Feng also entered maintenance mode.
During this period, he was as if he had disappeared, and no one could find him.
Some fierce beasts, who had been secretly following the train and watching, discovered that such a large tin train had suddenly disappeared on the spot, and all of them showed expressions of extreme astonishment.
!!!
What was going on?
For a time, a legend began to circulate among the fierce beasts of the outer Wall, usually told by mother fierce beasts to their fierce beast cubs: if you don't eat properly, the tin train will suddenly appear and knock you flying!
The fierce beast cubs shivered: I will definitely eat properly.
When Lin Feng heard these rumors, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He never expected that one day he would become the "old cat monkey" in the hearts of the fierce beast cubs...
Xiao Shen had originally thought that Ximen Chuifeng would contact him at least three days later, but it was only the second day when he received a letter from Ximen Chuifeng.
"East Fourth Road, No. 118, outside the guild, you have a letter."
When the postman delivered the letter, Xiao Shen was bewildered.
He never expected that Ximen Chuifeng's way of saying he would contact him was to find a postman to deliver a letter.
This was too much of a drop in prestige.
However, Ximen Chuifeng's efficiency was very fast; he contacted him after only one day.
"Okay, thank you." Xiao Shen took the letter, closed the door, and went inside to read it.
Tearing open the envelope, Xiao Shen took out the letter inside, which read: "There are clues, come quickly to discuss."
Xiao Shen saw it, put on his jacket, and turned to walk out.
Finally, there was news of Liu Ling'er!
Xiao Shen rushed out of his house, holding the letter, and headed straight for Ximen Chuifeng's home.
Ximen Chuifeng also didn't expect Xiao Shen to come so quickly.
Fortunately, he knocked on the door when he arrived, otherwise Ximen Chuifeng's contracted fierce beast would have been exposed.
"You said there's news of Liu Ling'er, is it true?" Xiao Shen took out the letter and showed it to Ximen Chuifeng.
Ximen Chuifeng nodded slightly: "Since I called you here, I wouldn't lie to you."
"Then tell me quickly, where is she now?"
Xiao Shen was already impatient to see Liu Ling'er.
If Liu Ling'er was safely staying within the Wall, he wouldn't be too worried, after all, Liu Ling'er had the Liu family behind her.
