Chapter 46: Snake Moon's Skyfire

Feng Ling sat in the car with a gloomy face.
Too congested...

The journey was less than 10 kilometers, but she was stuck in traffic for an hour.

She watched the sun sink lower and lower, and finally it sank completely to the bottom. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the city street lights were lit, illuminating the gradually cleared roads.

But what's the use?
It was pitch black. After getting on the bridge, apart from the road illuminated by the headlights, the river water on both sides was as black as ink, merging with the night sky, and nothing could be seen.

Frogs, white birds, all of them - can’t be seen!

Zhou Chu said slowly in the car: "This road is usually congested, and there was a traffic accident today, so it is even more congested. Anyway, it's getting dark, let's walk around the bridge and then go back."

"Go back." Feng Ling felt disappointed. "Come back tomorrow and have a look."

"If we find the white bird tomorrow, will we be able to find the entrance to the maze?" Zhou Chu asked her.

Feng Ling glanced at him and said, "There are three riddles in total. The last one is that the sky fire of the Snake Moon burned out a gate in the ashes."

Zhou Chu said calmly: "It's just three sentences. I already have some clues for the first two sentences. The third sentence will be found very quickly. There's no need to rush at all~"

Feng Ling closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and replied angrily, "29%."

Zhou Yu: “…………”

Well, we still need to be anxious.

The car fell into an eerie silence.

Half a minute later, Zhou Chu cheered up again and said to Feng Ling: "I think we should not be idle now. Even if it is dark and we can't see the white bird, we can use this time to study what the third sentence means. Let me think about it... the sky fire of the snake month... um..."

Zhou Chu racked his brains and peered out the window, "I can't even see the moon..."

"You can't be so direct, right?" Feng Ling frowned, "Snake Moon is the moon that looks like a snake? Sky Fire is the fire in the sky?"

Huangfu Miaomiao was also thinking hard, "The fire in the sky... is it either the sun or a meteor?"

Feng Ling was annoyed. "The sun is for daytime, meteors only appear at night! Do you want people to enter a maze this complicated?!"

Zhou Chu thought to himself: The maze was not originally a place prepared for humans.

Before he could even open his mouth to complain, he saw Huangfu Miaomiao nervously shaking her head at him in the rearview mirror, her mouth opening and closing slowly, and it looked like she was saying -

Don't...want to...stimulate her?
Zhou Yu: “…………”

Otherwise, it would be better to persuade Feng Ling to go into the gas chamber. The pressure that could erupt at any time is too terrifying.

No one spoke in the car, and Feng Ling was not in the mood to chat.

She opened her phone in a distracted state and unexpectedly found that the Taoist priest had sent her a message.

"Master Li is transferring RMB 650.00 to you. Please accept it."

"Master Li: Have you found a safe place to stay? Have you prepared food and water?"

Feng Ling's face brightened noticeably.

How can it not be nice to collect money?
She clicked the payment button without any psychological burden and received the six hundred and fifty happily. Her whole face exuded a pleasant expression, which made Huangfu Miaomiao and Zhou Chu in the car dumbfounded.

"Who sent you the message?" Zhou Chu couldn't control his curiosity.

"A good person." Feng Ling's eyes curved and he lowered his head to reply to the message.

『Aisha: Found it~(^w^)~』

"Aisha: Taoist priest, would you like to be my guest? I'll treat you to a meal~"

"Master Li: Don't tell me your address, and don't tell anyone else. They will be here soon."

Coming soon?

Feng Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Aisha: But I already said on the forum that I was going to Yunhai City."

"Master Li: Not all players will pay attention to posts on human forums."

"Master Li: Some of them will form alliances to hunt lone high-scoring prey. Polluted bodies and bosses are their targets. You have to be careful."

Feng Ling wondered if there was any new development on the player forum. "Aisha: How many people are there? Are they very powerful?"

The Taoist priest hasn't replied yet.

She waited for a moment and sent a question mark.

There was still no response from the other party. I wonder if he was busy with something else.

Feng Ling flipped to the front of the chat history, thought about the transfer of 650 again, and then turned off the phone.

Huangfu Miaomiao and Zhou Chu, who were in the car, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was calm.

…………

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Feng Ling returned to the apartment. He opened the chat box again, but still hadn't received any news from the Taoist priest.

It’s weird.

She didn't think too much about it and habitually opened the food delivery app and started ordering food.

——The two nests on her body were absorbing energy all the time, so she had to keep eating a lot to meet her body's needs. Otherwise, she was really worried that she would not only fail to feed the nests, but she would also starve to death.

There are very few restaurants open at night, few delivery riders, and the errand fees are shockingly high.

After all, at night when aliens are more active, everyone is using their lives to make money.

Feng Ling didn't have many choices, so he found a Shaxian snack bar that was still open and ordered all the items on the menu.

She was even worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, so she went to the kitchen to cook frozen wontons.

Zhou Chu was amazed at her appetite and even a little envious. He said with emotion: "If you eat like this every day for a few days in a row, will you not need to eat for the next year?"

"It's a special period recently, so I eat a lot." Feng Ling said while eating.

"Special period?" Zhou Chu asked, sitting opposite her, "What special period?"

"It's a bit hard to describe..." Feng Ling thought for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth and explained, "You can understand it as, I'm pregnant with twins now, and I need a lot of nutrition."

Zhou Chu was stunned when he heard this, "You...are pregnant?"

"It's just a metaphor." Feng Ling continued eating. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it."

Zhou Chu was a little confused at first, but after listening to her, he couldn't help but get angry, "Why can't I understand? It's obviously you who didn't explain it clearly! What woman would use her own pregnancy as an example!"

Huangfu Miaomiao silently raised the perfume bottle beside her.

Zhou Yu: “…………”

Suddenly I felt a little guilty.

Zhou Chu carefully observed Feng Ling's reaction and was relieved when he found that she was still eating calmly and showed no signs of anger.

"Then..." He asked hesitantly, "Then when will you, ahem, give birth?"

"Anytime." Feng Ling replied.

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time.

What does this mean anytime?
Is that what he meant?

He silently looked at Feng Ling. No matter how he looked at her, she didn't look like she was about to give birth...

Zhou Chu always thought he was fearless, but why did he feel so terrified when he thought about Feng Ling getting pregnant and giving birth? It was simply terrifying.

"Will you give birth tonight?" Zhou Chu asked courageously.

Feng Ling shook his head, as if he had really thought about this matter seriously, and replied: "The alien species may appear at any time. The maze has not been found yet, and the problem of pollution value has not been solved. There are a lot of things waiting for me to do now. The timing is not right. It is not the time to raise a cub."

She said, shaking her left wrist.

The two silver bracelets on his wrists suddenly turned into two silver cards, floating beside Feng Ling.

Unlike ordinary silver cards, these two cards seem to be nested, with a layer of pattern inside and another layer of pattern with big eyes carved on the outside.

"What the hell..." Zhou Chu exclaimed, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, "What the hell is this?"

"Don't touch me." Feng Ling said, "Otherwise I will give birth to you."
