Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1691: Entering the Cave

"Ah!!!"

However, at this moment.

Tang Yuxin suddenly let out a scream.

"Yuxin, what’s wrong?"

Lin Mengyao frowned slightly, puzzled.

"The... those corpses are gone!"

Tang Yuxin pointed to the ground where the corpses had been placed, her face pale as she spoke.

Sun Xiaoli next to her was similarly filled with fear.

Because she and Tang Yuxin had discovered the corpses at the same time.

But now, the corpses had suddenly disappeared.

This truly frightened both of them.

Lin Mengyao glanced at the spot Tang Yuxin was pointing to.

Sure enough, there was nothing there, not even a trace of blood.

This made Lin Mengyao frown and then turn to Chen Feng, asking in confusion, "Chen Feng, did you see the corpses when you came over?"

Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli also quickly looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and shook his head.

Because if he said he saw them,

he would surely need to explain more.

Like why the corpses were wearing camouflage clothing identical to his,

and how the corpses disappeared, etc.

He would have to explain all these questions clearly to the three women.

Otherwise, they would certainly suspect him.

And those were questions Chen Feng couldn’t answer.

So, he simply said he hadn’t seen them.

This way, it was easier, simpler.

"Didn’t see? How could that be! When Xiaoli and I came, we clearly saw a row of corpses laid out here. How could you not see them?"

Tang Yuxin’s face changed as she looked at Chen Feng, incredulous.

"Yes, there... there were a few corpses here. Yuxin and I really saw them clearly!"

Sun Xiaoli also nodded, following up.

"But after I came over, I truly saw nothing, and now you’ve also seen that there’s nothing here. Surely you don’t suspect I secretly hid the corpses, right?"

Chen Feng grinned as he spoke.

With these words,

Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli shook their heads.

Because from start to finish,

Chen Feng had always been in their sight.

If Chen Feng intended to hide the corpses, they would definitely notice.

But Chen Feng hadn’t moved from this spot since he arrived.

And there was nowhere nearby to hide anything.

So, there was basically no such possibility.

"So, there were no corpses at all. Maybe you were just too excited and mistook what you saw!"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"This..."

Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli exchanged a glance, both frowning slightly.

At this moment, the two women began to wonder if they had seen it wrong.

After all, if there really were corpses,

how could they just disappear?

After all, corpses wouldn’t just walk away on their own.

If they could walk away, they wouldn’t be called corpses; they’d be zombies!

"Alright, Yuxin and Xiaoli, don’t scare yourselves. Maybe you really did see it wrong. How could there possibly be corpses in this beautiful flower sea!"

Lin Mengyao patted Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli’s shoulders, smiling as she spoke.

"But I really saw them just now, clearly. How could they disappear? It’s so strange!"

Tang Yuxin pouted, looking confused.

"Don’t forget, on this mysterious island, all sorts of strange things can happen. Remember the fierce beast we encountered before? Before setting foot on the island, could you have imagined such a large monster existing in the world? Maybe what you and Xiaoli saw was just a visual illusion caused by distorted light? It’s all possible, right?"

Lin Mengyao said with a laugh.

"Yaoyao, you have a point. Maybe it really was some sort of illusion!"

Tang Yuxin nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Lin Mengyao’s explanation.

"So, you shouldn’t think too much about it. It’s getting late, and soon the sun will set. We should head back as soon as possible, right?"

Lin Mengyao suggested.

"Mm!"

Everyone nodded.

Then, with Chen Feng leading the way, the group started back towards the cave...

At this moment,

At the entrance of the cave.

Li Dagang and several boys had long been ambushed nearby.

They brought plenty of food and fresh water, intending to keep a close watch on Chen Feng and the others.

However, they didn’t know that Chen Feng had taken the three women out for a walk.

Because after Li Dagang left, Chen Feng took the three girls out.

So right now, Li Dagang and the boys were waiting at the cave entrance, not seeing Chen Feng and the others come out of the cave.

This left them puzzled.

"Brother Gang, what do we do? Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao’s group haven’t shown up all day. Could it be that they left before we got here?"

One of the boys looked at Li Dagang, puzzled.

"That doesn’t make sense. If they’re not in the cave, where else could they be?"

Li Dagang frowned.

"Why don’t we go inside and take a look?"

Another boy suggested.

"Take a look inside?"

Li Dagang was taken aback.

"Yeah, let’s check to see if they’re still in there. If they aren’t, we’re just wasting time standing guard here. It wouldn’t look good if Young Master Zhong finds out!"

The boy quickly said.

"Makes sense!"

Li Dagang nodded thoughtfully, then instructed, "Leave someone outside to keep watch. Everyone else, come inside with me to check. Remember, move quietly so as not to alert Chen Feng and them!"

"Understood!"

The boys all nodded.

After some discussion, they left one person outside.

The rest followed Li Dagang into the cave.

At first,

everyone was cautious, walking quietly.

Afraid that if Chen Feng was inside, he would discover them.

But once they entered the cave, they were shocked to find it completely empty.

Chen Feng and the three women were not there.

This made Li Dagang’s face turn dark.

However, before he could react,

he noticed the cave’s interior.

This left him bewildered.

He originally thought,

the cave interior would be damp and full of rocks, uninhabitable.

But the sight before him stunned him.

The cave floor was particularly smooth.

Neither damp nor wet, quite tidy.

In the center, there was a large bonfire site.

Though extinguished at the moment,

one could imagine how warm it must be when the fire is lit.

And nearby,

a large, thick pure wool carpet was laid on the floor next to the bonfire, with a few silk quilts that looked extremely warm placed on top.

To lie on them, covered with the silk quilts, would certainly be a treat!

Li Dagang and the other boys’ eyes widened in disbelief.

Didn’t Zhong Siquan say this cave was uninhabitable?

Why now did it look completely the opposite?

With pure wool carpets and silk quilts.

Is this hardship?

It seemed like pure enjoyment!

For a moment, everyone’s hearts became unbalanced...
