Chapter 542 Strange Discovery
Chapter 542 Strange Discovery
"Do you need my help?" Lei Feifei asked.
Zhou Qingyu shook her head. "I got this."
"Alright." Lei Feifei didn't insist further and sat back down on her seat.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian looked at several strange sea creatures attacking the port with a thoughtful expression. Judging from their aura, they were the peak of the Ruler Profound Beast at best. Moreover, they didn't have any Abyssal Energy in their bodies. Why would they attack this island for no reason? Had they gone insane?
As Zhou Qingyu was about to leave, Yun Lintian suddenly stood up and said. "Can I go with you to take a look, Senior Zhou?"
Zhou Qingyu glanced at Yun Lintian and then at Linlin before nodding. "Come."
Seeing that Yun Lintian was leaving, Lei Feifei had also decided to follow. Anyway, she didn't have anything to do here.
When Yun Lintian's group arrived at the scene, they immediately noticed Du Huanfeng standing on a high platform, watching the battle scene calmly. It was quite surprising to see him here.
Du Huanfeng noticed the arrival of Yun Lintian's group. He smiled and greeted them. "It's been a while, Island Master Zhou." He then looked at Yun Lintian and said teasingly. "Why are you here, Brother Mu? I thought you have no strength left already."
Yun Lintian pretended to be embarrassed by scratching his nose and replied. "Please don't tease me, Brother Du."
Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei witnessed Yun Lintian's acting skills for the first time. They looked at him strangely as the contrast between the current Yun Lintian and the earlier calm and composed him was too great. No wonder he could deceive Du Huanfeng for all this time.
Zhou Qingyu didn't pay attention to Yun Lintian and Du Huanfeng further. She quickly moved to the front and asked a young woman in a black robe. "How is it?"
The young woman, An Hua, bowed her head and replied respectfully. "Report Island Master, everything is in control now. We are still investigating the cause of this matter."
Zhou Qingyu frowned and spread her Spiritual Sense into the sea. However, she couldn't find anything after a long time. Was this really a normal profound beast tide?
Yun Lintian took this chance to leave Du Huanfeng's line of sight and secretly opened Eyes of Heaven to scan the profound beasts. Suddenly, he discovered a strange red dot on the profound beasts' soul gate position. There was a trace of killing intent emitting from it, but it was extremely faint to the point that the monarch's powerful Spiritual Sense could not detect it.
Bang!
At this moment, the head of a lobster-like profound beast was exploded by an island guard. Yun Lintian saw the strange red dot immediately moving out of its body and vanished into the sea. Seeing it still existed after the profound beast died, Yun Lintian was even more curious, but he could not simply follow it down to the sea under Du Huanfeng's presence. He could only give up and return to Lei Feifei's side.
While he was walking back, Yun Lintian secretly communicated with Linlin. "Linlin, did you see something strange about these profound beasts?"
Linlin tilted her head cutely as she replied. "I think they are under the control of someone."
"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised.
Linlin shook her head. "I'm not sure, Big Brother Yun. It comes from my intuition."
Yun Lintian touched his chin and was lost in his thought. Normally, Linlin would easily detect something unusual on any profound beast with a glance. However, she actually could not see this strange red dot. What was going on here?
When Yun Lintian returned to Lei Feifei's side. He immediately asked. "Sister Lei, is there anything besides the Black Jade mine under this island?"
Lei Feifei's brows raised slightly. "There's nothing else. Why?"
Yun Lintian didn't reply to her question but asked further. "Can I go take a look after this? I want to see the mine once."
Lei Feifei was not a fool. She didn't believe Yun Lintian simply wanted to visit the mine. He must discover something.
Thinking of this, she said. "Sure. I'll let Qingyu arrange it for you."
The battle did not last long. Ten minutes later, all the profound beasts were either killed or subdued, and the port had returned to its original calm again.
At this moment, Du Huanfeng walked toward Yun Lintian and asked. "What's your next plan, Brother Mu? Do you want to go with me? I am going to visit the Mystic Pavilion soon. I heard that there's a supreme treasure at the auction today."
"Supreme treasure?" Yun Lintian asked in surprise.
Du Huanfeng nodded. "Mhm. Mystic Pavilion always adopts this mysterious theme. So, I don't know what kind of this treasure is. Aside from this, there are other treasures like Floating Metal and Golden Sand. It should be quite lively there."
Hearing the Floating Metal's name, Yun Lintian's interest was immediately piqued. Although he was sure it should be a small portion, he still wanted to get it.
Naturally, if he wanted to participate in this auction, Yun Lintian couldn't go with Du Huanfeng. Therefore, he declined politely. "Sorry, Brother Du. I'm not interested in these things. I think I'll go back to get some rest. As you know…."
Du Huanfeng laughed generously and patted Yun Lintian's shoulder while giving him a meaningful smile. "I understand. I understand. Go. Get some rest."
Yun Lintian scratched his head and lowered his head in embarrassment. "Then, I'll go back first." He walked for a few steps and then patted his forehead. "By the way, I don't seem to have a place to live yet. Can I trouble Brother Du about this?"
Du Huanfeng was taken aback and laughed. "Sure. Leave it to me."
