The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 2131 - 2130: Exploring the Divine Mountain
Hypothermia is extremely frightening; it can induce hallucinations where one feels the environment has become warmer, but in reality, it is merely the erroneous perception caused by neural necrosis.
Even though Ling Feng’s cultivation level is exceedingly high, he must approach this with caution.
However, upon examination, he discovered that it wasn’t that he had developed hypothermia, but rather the environment around him had indeed changed; the temperature was gradually rising!
As the distance shortened, this sensation became increasingly evident!
Finally, Ling Feng understood that only the outer circle, some dozen kilometers across, was in a state of extreme cold, while the inner circle at the foot of the mountain was not cold.
This might be some form of defensive measure or could be caused by some special reason. Ling Feng did not intend to figure this out; he only wanted to reach the foot of the mountain quickly to investigate further.
He crossed the less than ten kilometers in just a few minutes.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ling Feng felt the temperature had returned to normal, so he stored his down jacket and looked up at the sky.
This is the mountain’s base; the Divine Mountain does not rise abruptly from the ground but has a segment of slope.
To describe the form of this Divine Mountain, it can be seen as an inverted funnel placed on the Shallow Blue Star.
Below is a conical body, and atop, an unknown, thick cylindrical structure reaches high into the clouds.
Ling Feng increasingly felt that this mountain did not seem to be naturally formed; it indeed felt like a divine miracle.
Although it’s called a conical body, its area is immensely vast; the length just to circle the base is nearly a thousand kilometers.
Such a vast area made Ling Feng feel that searching through it would certainly take some time.
And Xing Can was still waiting in the outskirts.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Feng decided not to search yet. Since the temperature here was fine, why not bring her over?
If they were to satisfy their curiosity, she should take a thorough look at this place!
Thinking this, Ling Feng didn’t leave immediately. Instead, at the pile of rocks at the mountain’s base, he set up a Teleportation Array, then turned around and rushed to the outskirts at top speed.
This time he used all his strength, and soon he returned to where Tian Lian and Xing Can were waiting.
Upon seeing Ling Feng, Xing Can immediately stood up, "Brother Ling, you came back so fast, did you encounter danger?"
"No, I only found at the mountain’s base the temperature wasn’t low, so I came back to take you with me!"
Ling Feng smiled, letting Tian Lian enter the Jade Token Space, then he grabbed Xing Can’s hand to activate the teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, Xing Can found herself in a different place, already at the mountain’s base.
Then she opened her small mouth wide and her eyes widened.
"It’s indeed quite breathtaking."
Ling Feng smiled, then summoned the Ghost Dragon and jumped on it with her.
The area was too vast, how could they find anything good there with just two legs?
So the Ghost Dragon swiftly ascended into the sky, flying along the mountain’s base.
To Ling Feng’s surprise, after just a few kilometers, his Divine Sense detected a peculiar rock formation on the slope, with many crystalline structures embedded in the crevices.
However, this wasn’t the Magic Crystal Stone he was looking for, but rather some kind of yellowish columnar crystal.
After commanding the Ghost Dragon to fly over, they quickly arrived above the crystalline patch, and Ling Feng landed on the ground with Xing Can.
"So beautiful!"
Looking at hundreds of crystals, about a meter long and as thick as a bowl, Xing Can exclaimed in delight.
Ling Feng also found the crystals quite appealing, but he felt there must be more to them than just looks, so he stepped forward and grabbed one.
As a result, his mind received no indication, clearly this was not recorded within the Shennong legacy.
However, Ling Feng still sensed that there was some energy within this crystal, but it wasn’t Spiritual Energy.
No matter what it was, he decided to take it first. This was Ling Feng’s principle.
Although the crystals were embedded in the rock crevices, extracting them was effortless; just a slight shake and they would come off.
So Ling Feng now resembled someone pulling radishes, harvesting the crystals one by one and storing them in the Space Ring.
Xing Can wanted to help, but unfortunately, her strength was too small; she couldn’t pull them off at all.
So she could only watch with eyes full of envy.
"I still don’t know what these are useful for, but even if they’re very useful, there’s no need to monopolize them all. If you like them, I’ll give you a few to take back as decoration!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Can was filled with joy.
"No need to thank me, these are resources of your planet after all. It’s not really right for me to take them away so directly!" Ling Feng laughed.
"It doesn’t matter, take whatever you find useful. Neither my brother nor the residents of Shallow Blue Star will mind!" Xing Can said earnestly.
Ling Feng smiled and said no more.
Moments later, all the crystals visible to the eye were stored in the Ring Space, and then he and Xing Can returned to the Ghost Dragon.
Continuing their exploration, they had not gone far before Ling Feng saw some different rocks.
This time, they weren’t crystalline, but rather a pile of reddish rubble scattered across the slope.
Their bright red color stood out sharply against the surrounding rocks, making them very conspicuous.
Upon nearing, Ling Feng felt a sense of foreboding, a feeling that something bad would happen if he approached those stones, so after a brief pause, he took a few photos and had the Ghost Dragon fly away.
As the exploration continued, Ling Feng began noticing the area was rich in minerals, almost every distance would reveal unique ores. Even if unfamiliar, he could easily identify these stones as distinct from the surrounding rocks. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Collecting them one by one was now meaningless, as their sheer number was overwhelming and already he had discovered more than a dozen types.
Thus far, no other valuables were found on this Divine Mountain other than various sorts of ores.
Ling Feng developed a great interest in this place, secretly thinking it would be best to enclose it and establish a base for dedicated mining operations.
But since it’s a forbidden zone, this matter must be discussed with Xing He first.
In an instant, the Ghost Dragon had flown nearly halfway around the mountain. While Ling Feng was contemplating the scale of the base and equipment configuration, Xing Can suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Ling, look!"
Ling Feng lifted his head to find an abrupt cliff on the mountain slope ahead, as if a gigantic tool had gouged out a section.
Upon reaching near, he saw that the cliff was at least several hundred meters high, with the mountain slopes on either side forming a figure-eight shape, stretching several kilometers from the base inwards.
And the cliff was not merely a stone wall, but held an immense, colossal gate!
Xing Can was indeed exclaiming about this.
After Ling Feng and she landed, the two looked up at the gate, feeling as if they were mere ants before it.
