Chapter 602 - Urgently

In a lush forest in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, Ji Feng and the white pearl were groping about in the darkness.

In reality, the more accurate explanation was that White Pearl was groping around by herself, while Ji Feng was leaning against a large tree and carefully observing.

Bai Zhu was baffled as to what Ji Feng was observing. However, she was afraid of disturbing him, so after a few questions, he gave her no answer, so she didn't dare to ask any further.

The white pearl could be seen through the haze. Ji Feng was leaning against a big tree, seemingly touching something with his hand.

”Hiss, hiss …”

Suddenly, Ji Feng sniffed a few times as if he was sniffing something.

The white pearl was even more strange, what strange smell was there?

She carefully sniffed the air as well, but she didn't smell anything strange. There was only a peculiar smell in the forest, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. It was the same smell she had smelled all the way from the small mountain village.

”White Pearl, come over here and take a look!” At this moment, Ji Feng suddenly spoke.

”Yes sir!”

Bai Zhu nodded his head hurriedly and walked over to Ji Feng. ”Young Master Ji, what's wrong? Did you discover something? ”

”Go behind the tree,” said Ji Feng, without looking back. ”Turn on the flashlight and s.h.i.+ne it on the trunk.”

Although Bai Zhu was baffled, he still followed Ji Feng's instructions.

This tree was not small, and its trunk was very thick. It took almost two people to carry it. After the white bead had circled behind the tree, it had even completely disappeared.

White Pearl came behind the tree and switched on her flashlight. She shone it along the trunk and found that there was nothing special about the tree. The tree was considered small in the forest, much thicker than this one.

”Lights up!” Ji Feng's voice suddenly sounded.

”En!”

White Pearl quickly lifted the light up.

”Down!”

”That's not right, it's too far down. Lift it a little higher and it will be slower.” Ji Feng said, ”Probably around the same height as my chest.”

”Understood!”

White Pearl nodded, then shone the light on the tree trunk and began to slowly move the light.

Suddenly, Ji Feng spoke, ”Don't move, this is the place!”

At this moment, an astonis.h.i.+ng scene appeared — in front of Ji Feng, a beam of light shot from the tree trunk straight at his chest.

The beam of light was not that thick, only as thick as a few matches. At first glance, it didn't seem that anything was strange.

However, the problem was that the light was coming from the inside of the trunk!

In fact, this beam was the beam emitted by the flashlight held by the white pearl. This was because there was a small, straight hole in the trunk, which went straight through the entire trunk!

However, because the light was too scattered, it was not very obvious, but Ji Feng could see it clearly.

”As expected!”

Ji Feng's gaze was fixated on the small hole as a cold light flickered in his eyes. He carefully examined it once more, and couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, White Pearl asked from behind the tree, ”Young Master Ji, is it done?”

Ji Feng slowly nodded his head. ”Okay, come back.”

Only then did Bai Zhu walk out from behind the tree. He asked curiously, ”Young Master Ji, what did you find?”

Ji Feng was silent for a moment, before he said: ”I found out …” Not too good. ”

”Hmm?”

White Pearl couldn't help but be startled.

Ji Feng pointed at the small hole in the tree and said to the white pearl, ”Turn on the flashlight and follow my hand.”

White Pearl quickly turned on the flashlight, shone the light on Ji Feng's hand and followed. Finally, she discovered that the light was s.h.i.+ning on the tree trunk, about the height of a man's belly. There was a small hole!

”Young Master Ji, what you saw just now was this small hole?” Bai Zhu asked in surprise.

”That's right!”

Ji Feng slightly nodded his head, ”That's it!”

White Pearl was even more surprised, ”But... Is there anything special about this little hole? ”

Ji Feng asked, ”What do you think?”

White Pearl looked at it for a while and then said thoughtfully, ”It does seem to be a little strange. How could there be a small hole in such a lush and well lived tree? And why did it seem to be very deep? Could it have been eaten by bugs? ”

Ji Feng shook his head. ”It doesn't matter whether I eat the worm or not. I am not talking about this... ”Take a closer look and see if there's anything special about this small hole!”

”Special …?” Bai Zhu hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to the big tree and scrutinized it. Soon, she said in surprise, ”Young Master Ji, there seems to be burn marks around this small hole!”
