After the aircraft was destroyed, the journey was peaceful. No one else showed up.
"Brother Kong, if you are so strong, you should be fearless. But we are just ordinary people. If the Feathers come after us, we will be in trouble," Han Sen said as he walked next to Kong Fei.
Kong Fei squinted at Han Sen and said, "You want me to take responsibility?"
"That sounds bad. We are not women." Han Sen smiled and went on to say, "I just want you to show us a way out of this mess."
Kong Fei laughed and said, "I only know how to walk when there is a path. I don't know if it's a dead or alive path. You want me to show you a way out?"
Han Sen didn't know what to say, so he just followed Kong Fei.
He just didn't understand why Kong Fei had brought them along. With Kong Fei's power, he could have killed them easily. If he wanted to harm them, he wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble. He didn't know why Kong Fei had brought them along.
Han Sen thought Kong Fei might have been a surviving crystallizer. After all, he looked so much like a crystallizer.
Mosi Mountain was a thousand miles away from Gran City. Kong Fei didn't want to take a train. He had a tractor, but now, they had to walk. They couldn't walk very fast.
Kong Fei wasn't in a rush. It was like he was taking a walk. He was very relaxed.
Han Sen and Stay Up Late were worried about the Feather's retaliation. The longer the journey was peaceful, the stronger the Feather's retaliation would be.
Even if Kong Fei wasn't afraid, they would be in trouble.
The three of them walked for half a month. Nothing happened. It was as if the Feathers had forgotten about them.
Along the way, Kong Fei was very familiar with all the scenic spots. He was like a professional tour guide. Stories like "The Story of the Maiden's Mountain", "The Legend of the General's Temple", and so on were vividly described as if they were real.
Kong Fei was a very good storyteller, and when he spoke of the legends, Han Sen and Stay Up Late were always in a daze. Even though they knew what was going to happen next, they couldn't help but want to hear it from his mouth.
On the seventeenth day, they reached a stone bridge near a river. Kong Fei stood on the bridge and told Han Sen and Stay Up Late, "After crossing this bridge, we will reach Mosi Mountain. If you guys are not going to mine, then there is no need to follow us. We will part ways here."
Han Sen and Stay Up Late were shocked. They had been walking for seventeen days, and each day was like a field trip. They hadn't gone very far, and Han Sen estimated that they had only walked three or four hundred miles. They were still far from Mosi Mountain.
But when Han Sen and Stay Up Late looked at the other side of the mountain, they froze. Across the bridge was a sign. It said, "Mosi Mountain Old Tree Village."
The two of them looked at each other in shock. They didn't remember walking that far, but they had walked a thousand miles. They were now near Mosi Mountain. The only possibility was that Kong Fei had done something.
He had been able to make Han Sen walk a thousand miles without them noticing. That was scary.
"You guys have walked with me for seventeen days. That is fate. Here, take this. Consider it a reward for walking with me."
Kong Fei pulled out two white feathers from his clothes. He flicked them, and they landed in Han Sen's and Stay Up Late's hands.
Han Sen caught the feathers, and they were very soft. They were only a little longer than his hand. They were real feathers, and not xenogeneic material.
"Do you know what these feathers are?" Kong Fei asked, blinking.
Han Sen didn't want to say that he didn't know. After all, there were many creatures with feathers, and he didn't know what kind. But suddenly, his face changed. He looked at Kong Fei and asked, "These aren't Feather feathers, are they?"
Kong Fei laughed and said, "The Feathers only have feathers on their wings. Between their wings are two of the softest feathers. They call them Angel Feathers, and they love them the most.
This feather robe of mine is made from the feathers of angels. "
Han Sen almost coughed up blood. His feathery clothes had to have at least a thousand feathers. How many Feathers had to die in his hands before he was able to weave the clothes?
Now, Kong Fei was giving them two Angel Feathers. He didn't want them dead enough, and he wanted to pour gasoline on their corpses.
Even if the Feathers didn't want to kill them, if they saw them holding two Angel Feathers, they'd want to kill them.
Kong Fei seemed to know what Han Sen was thinking, and so he said, "Don't be afraid. Even if the Feathers see these feathers, they won't kill you."
"Ahem. Brother Kong, we are interested in mining. Why don't we go with you?" Han Sen didn't believe the Feathers would be so generous.
Kong Fei looked at Han Sen like he was smiling, but he wasn't. "Do you really want to come with me?
It won't be hard to get into the mountain, but there is an unfriendly watchdog guarding it. "
"What watchdog?" Stay Up Late asked.
"I think it's called Duke Brilliant." Kong Fei looked in the direction of the mountain, and he didn't seem to care.
Han Sen and Stay Up Late looked at each other. The Feathers had been preparing for a long time, and now they had sent a Duke. If they followed Kong Fei, they would risk being caught in the crossfire.
But if they were to leave now, he didn't think the Feathers would let them go after so long.
"What is there to be afraid of? We'll go wherever you go." Han Sen still thought it would be safer to follow Kong Fei.
Kong Fei looked at Han Sen like he was smiling, but he wasn't smiling. "If you want to come, then come. You can leave whenever you want. I won't stop you."
After that, he crossed the stone bridge and headed in the direction of Mosi Mountain.
Han Sen and Stay Up Late followed him. They'd already come this far, so they'd see what they could do next.
Kong Fei didn't seem reliable. He'd led them into danger, and before he left, he was going to give them two Angel Feathers.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kong Fei could kill them easily, Han Sen would have thought Kong Fei had a grudge against them. He was there to harm them.
As they neared the entrance of the mountain, they saw a Feather standing there.
It was too far away, so Han Sen couldn't feel the Feather's lifeforce. But judging by the armor and clothing, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
"Duke Brilliant has come to greet people like us. I am flattered." Kong Fei looked at the Feather and smiled. He didn't look flattered at all.
"Where did you get that feather coat?" Duke Brilliant's face looked cold. He stared at Kong Fei's feather coat.
