Chapter 194 What a monster
When Chifeng and his men arrived at the Fantasy Mist Forest with Yuan Zhiqiang, all they saw was a raging fire. The waves of fire were surging, and the heat waves were rolling in their faces, burning everyone's faces.
The flames licked the sky fiercely, black smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell made people feel nauseous.
Yuan Zhiqiang and several officers were dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what caused the fire.
Yuan Zhiqiang frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Murong Ling'er accidentally dropped the torch into the woods when she was burning the poisonous spider? This is too bizarre."
Only Chifeng was speculating secretly in his heart. With a deep look in his eyes, he felt that this matter might be related to Murong Ling'er.
Based on his understanding of Murong Ling'er, she was the only one who had the ability to burn down a forest in an instant.
Thinking of this, he felt greatly relieved. This way, they didn't have to take a long detour, which was a blessing in disguise.
The golden eagle king, who had been living not far away, was resting comfortably with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, it keenly sensed a powerful energy fluctuation, and opened its sharp eyes abruptly, and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of the Misty Forest.
The Golden Eagle King was startled. Thinking of Murong Ling'er who was resting near the Fantasy Mist Forest, he became extremely anxious. He quickly spread his huge wings as fast as possible and rushed towards this side.
The strong wind whistled in its ears, but it ignored it and only had eyes for the sea of fire.
When the Golden Eagle King arrived, Murong Ling'er had just left.
The Golden Eagle King became more and more anxious when he did not see Murong Ling'er. After circling in the air, he immediately chased forward.
It was extremely fast, like a golden lightning streaking across the night sky.
Soon, they caught up with the moving team.
It suddenly dived down, and its huge body stopped steadily on the roof of Murong Ling'er's carriage. Its claws tightly grasped the edge of the roof, and it shouted inside anxiously: "Beauty, are you there? The Fantasy Mist Forest is on fire! The fire is burning! Fortunately, you ran fast, otherwise you would be burned too!" Its voice was sharp and loud, echoing in the night sky.
Just as the Golden Eagle King landed on the roof of the carriage, the horses were frightened and neighed loudly, digging the ground with their hooves. If Murong Ling'er had not used the soothing technique in time to calm the horses in the team one by one, there would have been another round of chaos.
Murong Linger sighed softly, slowly lifted the curtain, revealing her head. She rolled her eyes at the Golden Eagle King and said, "You reckless idiot, why are you making such a fuss?"
"How could I turn a blind eye to such a big fire? You go down first! Don't you consider your own weight? Can this small carriage carry a big Buddha like you?" Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows and said to the Golden Eagle King unhappily.
"Beauty, how can you be so heartless? I am full of worries about you, but you dislike my weight so much. It really breaks my heart." The Golden Eagle King flapped his huge wings, his voice full of grievance.
"Hmph! My kindness to you has been misplaced." The Golden Eagle King muttered, but his eyes still glanced at Murong Ling'er from time to time.
"Let's go!" After saying that, the Golden Eagle King flapped his wings violently, causing a gust of wind and instantly soaring into the air. His huge body drew a black shadow in the night sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a whistling sound of the wind echoing in his ears.
"Mother, why did it leave just after it arrived?"
Murong Chen poked his head out of the carriage like a little cannonball, his little face full of loss. He stared at the direction where the Golden Eagle King disappeared, thinking that he originally wanted to touch the Golden Eagle King's black and gold, shiny feathers, but he didn't expect that it flew away again before he could get close to it for long.
"By the way, mother, it seems to understand what you say." Murong Chen looked like he had suddenly discovered a new world. His eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.
"The Golden Eagle King's IQ is comparable to that of a fifteen-year-old child. It can naturally understand what its mother says." Murong Linger gently touched Murong Chen's head and responded patiently.
When Murong Chen heard this, his mouth opened wide, and he was even more surprised. He thought to himself, doesn't this mean that the Golden Eagle King is smarter than me? After all, the Golden Eagle King is much older than me.
Just as the two were talking, Lin Dong and several other children came jumping down from the carriage behind like a group of happy little sparrows.
Their faces flushed crimson as they excitedly shouted to Murong Chen, "Xiaochen, was that the Golden Eagle King that's been following us? It's so huge!"
"It's so majestic! Just like the legendary divine bird, so beautiful!"
"I heard it barking at you. What is it trying to say? Is it holding a secret?"
"It flew away again. Will it come back? I want to see it again!"
The children were chatting one after another, full of curiosity about this mysterious species, and they surrounded Murong Chen and asked questions non-stop.
This was also the first time that Murong Chen saw the Golden Eagle King up close. When asked this question, he scratched his head and couldn't explain it clearly.
However, this did not affect the lively discussion atmosphere among the few people at all. They became more and more excited as they talked, their little heads put together, and their eyes sparkled with excitement.
In the carriage, only Murong Ling'er and Chu Lingfeng were left, sitting quietly facing each other.
Chu Lingfeng frowned, a look of shock still lingering in his eyes. He thought to himself, Murong Ling'er can actually understand the language of animals! This ability is simply beyond imagination. Just how powerful is she?
Murong Ling'er seemed unaware of Chu Lingfeng's thoughts. She just sat there quietly.
She knew full well that her abilities were brought over from past lives, completely different from the martial arts system of this world, not even on the same level. How could she explain this? If she told the truth, it would probably cause countless troubles.
So she chose the best way to deal with it - to remain silent.
If you don't ask, I won't tell you. If you ask, I'll just make up a few random words to get by.
Fortunately, Chu Lingfeng was not the kind of person who was ignorant and rude. Although he was full of doubts and shock, he also understood that some things should not be investigated too deeply. He just silently digested this amazing discovery in his heart and did not speak to disturb Murong Ling'er's tranquility.
When Chifeng and the others returned, their faces were filled with relief and joy, and they shared good news with everyone: "We just need to wait until the fire is extinguished, and the team won't have to take a long detour. Although the fire was fierce, it also opened up a convenient route for us."
Hearing this, everyone's tense nerves relaxed and they breathed a sigh of relief.
So, everyone set up camp on the spot again and waited quietly for the fire to go out at dawn.
The raging fire was like a raging dragon, burning all night long. The flames leaped and rolled in the darkness, illuminating half the sky red.
It was not until dawn that the fire gradually died down, like a giant beast that was gradually tamed and lost its former majesty.
After everyone had a simple breakfast, the team returned to their original place and looked at the miasma forest that had been burned into a black mass with scorched earth all over the ground. Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from the scene.
"It was completely burned out. The fire was so fierce, it was like fire from heaven."
"The phantom mist is gone, and the poisonous creatures inside should have been burned to death, right? We're completely safe now."
"That's great! This burn really saved everyone's lives. Otherwise, our legs would have been broken from exhaustion, and we would have been trapped in this damn place for a long time."
"Thank God, this is such a coincidence. Could it be that the gods have sent the God of Fire to help us?"
"You're probably thanking the wrong person! Perhaps Miss Murong accidentally threw a torch into the Misty Forest last night while she was exorcising the poisonous spiders, and that's what burned it."
"Yes, that must be the case. Miss Murong has saved us again."
