Chapter 91: Who’s the Mastermind?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After arriving at the abyss, the black mist that filled the air became much weaker.
Chen Feng could also feel the magical and mental power in his body stirring restlessly. It felt like his powers were activated once again.
This abyss was way too dark. Chen Feng could feel the active dark elements here.
This might not be a bad thing for Chen Feng.
In a place so rich with dark elements, the strength of his [Eternal Night Magic Ball] would also increase greatly.
Chen Feng used his [Wood Whip] and [Barrier of Earth] to create a staircase that led to the bottom of the abyss.
Approximately ten minutes later, Chen Feng finally reached the bottom of the abyss.
“The soil here is different from that of the other places in [Gaotian Plains].”
Chen Feng squatted down and used his hands to pick up a handful of dirt.
It was extremely soft and dense. Although Chen Feng did not understand agriculture well, he could sense the rich nutrients within the black soil with his intuition.
“The soil here seems very suitable for planting crops.”
There were different types of soil on Earth, such as red soil, yellow soil, and black soil…The most nutritious soil that was the best-suited for crops to grow in was black soil. This was the unique treasure that nature bestowed upon humans. It had a good texture, high fertility, and was suitable for plants to grow in. It was extremely fertile as well.
There were three pieces of land with black soil in the world.
These places consisted of Ukraine’s plains, America’s Mississippi, and China’s Northeastern plains.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng was looking at a piece of land with black soil within this dark abyss right now.
“That’s weird.”
Chen Feng felt a little odd.
Black soil was normally found in a fertile piece of land. It was a symbol of the strong vitality of plants.
This dark abyss was shrouded in thick toxic gas. It was extremely corrosive. Even though it was already morning, there was no light in the abyss. It was like an area devoid of any life.
This was a fatal zone, but it was a piece of fertile land as well.
Chen Feng felt extremely conflicted.
However, to be honest, other than the darkness around him, Chen Feng did not feel particularly uncomfortable after entering the abyss.
It seems to be…quite suitable for growing plants.
Chen Feng had this thought when he felt the softness of the ground beneath him.
While exploring the abyss, Chen Feng could not forget the hand that had pushed him from behind while he stood at the edge of the cliff.
Who had pushed him?
Did someone in his team try to kill him?
Chen Feng felt extremely terrified when he thought of this.
He had gotten along well with his teammates all along, and one of them wanted to take his life.
“Pu Yunmo…It’s unlikely for him to do so.”
Chen Feng tried to deduce things one by one.
“There are no grudges between me and Pu Yunmo. If he really wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble to do so. He could have just refused to give me the Branch Token of the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets]. In that case, I wouldn’t have any status in the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets].”
“If Park Yunmo had the Branch Token, he would be able to mobilize the Awakened Ones from the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets]. It would not be difficult for him to deal with me. At least… that would be the case from his point of view.”
“But who knows? If he wanted to kill me in the outside world, he would have caused quite a commotion. He would also have left some traces that are not meant to exist at all.”
“However, the person who pushed me just now had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as his actions did not attract the attention of the other two, he could make it seem like I fell down on my own by accident.”
Chen Feng came to a realization after his detailed analysis.
Thinking from a subjective perspective, he felt that the person who pushed him down could not be Pu Yunmo.
“Sakurai Longzi…”
Chen Feng recalled the first time he met Sakurai Longzi.
Back then, a beautiful girl with two ponytails stood before him and asked, “Little brother, do you want to join my team?”
Wait…why does every woman that he meets like to address him as “little brother”?
However, that did not seem to be the main point.
However, Chen Feng did not find Sakurai Longzi highly suspicious.
The hand that had pushed him down was extremely strong. It felt more like a man’s hand.
Of course, he could not eliminate his suspicion toward Sakurai based on this factor alone.
Still…
The force that pushed him down was extremely strong. It was a man’s hand…
Chen Feng furrowed his brows. Were these two key elements not pointing to Blake?
Moreover, he did not know much about Blake’s background. They had only known each other for a very short period of time. Blake had just joined the team for two days, and they had not spoken much along the way.
Chen Feng might have been able to accept it if Blake was the one who pushed him down.
He did not have any evidence at all.
These were all based on his guesses.
In other words…
Everyone in the team could have pushed him down!
