Chapter 266 Going Down the River
Feng Yangxi seemed to have thought of what she wanted to do, and shook his head in disapproval.
"It's dangerous, don't go alone."
The others also realized Feng Tianning's idea and stood in front to stop her.
"Tianning, we can't leave you alone."
"That's right, we are a team. We can't just abandon our boss and run away."
Feng Tianning looked at them helplessly. They all had determined faces and seemed to be unwilling to let her go into the river no matter what.
"This is a rope that binds immortals. It cannot be cut by ordinary external force."
"I'll go down with it tied up."
Feng Tianning produced a golden rope from his hand, and also looked like he was determined to do it.
The crowd couldn't persuade her, so they had to make way for her, and said worriedly:
"Tianning, if anything goes wrong, just pull the rope quickly. Don't try to be stubborn."
"We'll pull you up right away."
Feng Tianning nodded, tapped her toes lightly on the water, and the next moment, she sank.
Everyone looked at the calming water with worried faces, their hearts beating uncontrollably.
As soon as Feng Tianning went down, the river water around her seemed to avoid her consciously. She felt like she was in a bubble, and even her clothes were not wet at all.
Feng Tianning dived deeper and deeper, but there was still only dark green all around her, and she could not see any fish or algae.
There was nothing unusual in the river, it was just like a calm river.
Feng Tianning believed that the special case team would not give warnings casually. There must be something terrible in the river that caused them to react so strongly.
But when she looked at the riverbed without any ripples, she wondered for a moment whether the special case team had already dealt with the problem.
The people on the shore looked at the motionless river surface anxiously, wishing they could go down and find Feng Tianning immediately.
Zhang Lan looked at the rope they were holding tightly in their hands with some worry and said:
"Tianning has been down there for more than ten minutes, why hasn't he come up yet?"
"Yeah, grandma won't be in any danger, right?"
"I've heard from my elders at home that there are no impurities in this kind of river, but there are big fish under the dark green water."
"All the creatures here are afraid of this big guy, so they dare not survive in the river."
"Over the years, the river water will be polluted and become the color of this giant."
The elders of the Qin family did not tell Qin Guan what this "big guy" was, but he could guess a little.
Even if it is not a centuries-old evil spirit, it must be a giant beast.
Pei Duyan pursed his lips and suddenly thought of the warning "Don't go into the river" he had just seen. For a moment, he regretted not being able to stop Feng Tianning from going down.
Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Yangxi, wanting him, the "deputy captain", to make a decision.
Feng Yangxi's mouth was stretched into a straight line, and it took a long time before he could speak:
"Wait here."
"A Ning will be fine."
Of course, he trusted Feng Tianning unconditionally, but this place was Pangu's hiding place, and there was no guarantee that Pangu would set a trap here.
Feng Yangxi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. This was not the feeling of Fuxi, but more like... Cang Yao.
Cang Yao has experienced too many such scenes. Even though his soul has returned to its place and become a part of Fuxi, this feeling has not diminished at all, but has become even stronger.
Feng Yangxi calmed his beating heart and stared at the surface of the river.
He believed in Feng Tianning, Nuwa, and Mother Earth.
Feng Yangxi spoke softly to the "Cang Yao" in his heart.
Just as his heart was gradually calming down, the river surface, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to move.
Feng Tianning walked up slowly, and the river even tactfully made way for her.
The moment she came ashore, everyone gathered around her, looking left and right, fearing that Feng Tianning had some invisible wounds on her body.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Feng Tianning said lightly.
"I'm glad you're okay, Tianning. You've been down there for so long, we almost wanted to jump down to look for you."
"Yes, grandma, it's a good thing you came up, otherwise even ten people wouldn't be able to stop me from looking for you."
Feng Yangxi looked at Feng Tianning with a smile on his face, and covered his chest with his hands, as if telling Cang Yao that "it's right to trust her."
Feng Tianning smiled helplessly, with a more serious look on his face.
"There's nothing down there."
Zhang Lan also blinked in confusion:
"Isn't it good to have nothing? If there really is something we can't deal with, wouldn't that be terrifying?"
Without waiting for Feng Tianning to speak, Feng Yangxi took the lead and said:
"If there really is nothing, there are only two possibilities."
"First, the big thing in the river has already been dealt with by the agents who came here earlier."
He paused and continued:
"But since they left a message saying not to go into the river, they must have been seriously injured by this thing and were not able to successfully deal with it."
As Feng Yangxi finished speaking, everyone's faces turned a little ugly.
There was no need for Feng Yangxi to continue speaking, as everyone had figured out the second possibility.
The big thing in the river hid itself in a way that could deceive everyone, just waiting to give the people in Group 11 the final blow and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Tianning, do we still need to continue walking along this river?"
Pei Duyan looked at her somewhat dejectedly.
Feng Tianning thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Keep going."
"But we won't go down into the river. We'll just walk along the bank."
"Keep going, maybe we can find other clues left by former special case team detectives."
Hearing Feng Tianning say this, everyone naturally had no objection. They nodded and continued to follow her carefully towards the river.
The forest was so quiet that it was even a little eerie. The leaves seemed to be completely unable to feel the wind and hung motionless on the trees like dead objects.
They continued to move forward in fear. After some time, the river in front of them forked.
Feng Tianning stopped suddenly and looked sharply into the shadows not far away.
"Tianning, what's wrong?"
Feng Tianning shook her head. She seemed to feel a breath of Pangu suddenly appearing in that place, but the breath was very weak and only flashed by.
When she looked again just now, there was nothing there.
"Tianning, what should we do next?" Fu Ruxuan looked at the river in front of her with some worry, as it was divided into four or five branches.
