Chapter 214: Still digging?



Chapter 214: Still digging?

“What! Someone is still digging holes here? How could I not hear him?”, Lucas shouted with shock. Below him, in that hole, someone was digging the hole. By now, he had obviously stopped, and was staring at Liu Feng and Arad with fear.

“Who are you two?”, the man beneath there trembled as he asked.

“That’s the question that I should ask you, is it not? What the hell are you doing here, and who ordered you to dig holes around here? I am pretty sure that no man in their right mind would ask for something like this.”, Liu Feng asked. 

The man moved back, but he couldn’t, because the place in the hole was very little, and he stumbled, hitting the walls of the hole.

“I am sorry. I cannot tell you who asked me. They will kill my wife and my children. I am sorry. I am sorry.”, the man started crying, as tears started streaming down his eyes.

“What are you doing? Wait, wait a minute. Don’t you dare.”, Liu Feng suddenly realized something as he jumped into the hole.

The man had a smile on his face amidst his tears. He bit down. Liu Feng grabbed him, but it was too late. The man had foam all over his mouth.

“Damn it!” Liu Feng shouted.

“What happened? Oh, he is dead? That is unfortunate.”, Arad sighed.

“Unfortunate? How the hell did somebody even know what happened here? Now, we will never know. Goddamn it. If only I reacted a little faster. Who would have thought that they would have such fast acting poisons here too. This is too dangerous. We need to move the missile as fast as we can and rush to the capital.”, Liu Feng said.

“Again, I must caution you against putting your hopes up too high. This might not work.” Arad said.

Liu Feng nodded as he walked back to where he buried the missile. The air rippled once more as he walked over there. With furious eyes, he raised his foot and slammed it on the ground. 

Boom!

All of a sudden, the huge box with chains that had been buried came to the surface.

“I thought that you needed my help?” Arad asked.

“Well I don’t need it anymore.” Liu Feng said with a cold tone. “But I need it for lifting it up and putting it on the truck.”

Arad sighed as he walked over to Liu Feng. He bent down and put his hands below the box. Bending his knees, he lifted. His muscles, which were never prominent before, did not even bulge while he was lifting it. It was as if this was a paper weight for him, unless we looked at his expression.

“Why is this so heavy? What kind of bomb is this heavy? I thought then, and I think now. What is in here?” Arad said as he panted.

Liu Feng smiled faintly as he went onto the truck. He turned it on, and pulled it back. He was careful to avoid all of the holes that were all around, lest that the truck falls into a ditch. 

Arad took a deep breath as he lifted the box high and put it on the back of the truck. He then jumped forward and sat in the seat next to Liu Feng.

“Shall we get going now? The war is awaiting us.” Arad said.

“Yes, it is.” Liu Feng nodded. The truck roared once, and it grunted forward. “Looks like the charge on this mana stone is over. These things work just like batteries, they drain even though I am not using them. Such a pain.”

Liu Feng stopped the truck once they were on the road, and he pulled out a mana stone from his spatial ring. He replaced the mana stone in front of him with the new one.

After all of this was done, he threw the mana stone back into his spatial ring.

“Why would you keep a useless mana stone like that?” Arad asked.

“I can use it for later. It is really useful. I can use it to take in corrupted mana and hold it so that it doesn’t contaminate the mana around it, and the surroundings. That way, the territory will be restored even after a battle with demons. If you look at the city that we were in a few days, I battled a demon captain, but the mana around me wasn’t that corrupted. So, I could battle easier. I need to make sure that an environment like that can be maintained in the capital where we are going.” Liu Feng explained.

“Again, you have not been in actual battles as much as the dragon elders have. So I suggest that you do not put your expectations high on all of your plans. While in theory, they might be a good idea, they might not actually translate to actual use in the real world.” Arad said.

“But imagining is the flame that will drive innovation. If you are able to envision the world that I see in my mind, then I am sure that you will start understanding my resolve in using this bomb, and not begging the king of the magical forest for help.” Liu Feng said.

Arad grunted in response as the truck drove forward. Liu Feng shrugged as he kept his eyes on the road. When he was coming back, there was almost no one on the road, and that was to be expected. With a war going on in the country, who would be so idiotic to be travelling at this time? 

Liu Feng was not ready to brace himself for the long drive to come, but what could he even do? This was something that he invested a lot of time in, and he wanted this to work so badly. This was his statement that even in a magical world, magic wasn’t everything that mattered. Sometimes, knowledge could help.
