Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: The Crater (Third Update, Please Vote)
The FBI, using the coordinates sent in the email, quickly began handling the issues concerning Wolf’s children once they located them.
Actually, these matters aren’t easy to resolve; many schools are reluctant to be manipulated by the FBI.
It’s easy for the FBI to ask schools to handle students, but getting students to enroll is much harder—why should schools listen to you?
It’s just like that Huaxia saying: it’s easier to cause trouble than solve a problem.
Fortunately, these siblings have always attended school normally before, and now they’ve just encountered a temporary issue. A statent from the FBI saying “a technical error occurred during operations” might just allow both of them to return to school.
Of course, getting the FBI to admit a technical error isn’t easy. Luckily, Wolf leveraged Sofia’s reputation; otherwise, after rescuing his children, it’s quite possible they’d ignore him.
In brief, this issue took Feng Jun four days to handle, but the outco is fortunate—Wolf recognises Sofia’s influence anew and has been running to Amstan daily for several days.
He expressed earnestly that in the past, he was blind and offensive, and he truly appreciated Sofia’s support. He said that he would adhere to any future requests and that there weren’t many things he couldn’t accomplish in Sydney.
Sofia was currently grappling with legal processes, so she said, “I want to build a Daoist Temple here. Help with the relevant procedures.”
Listening to this request, Wolf was truly baffled: you are protected by the Lord, yet you want to build a church for a Huaxia religion?
However, he dared not question her, and upon noticing the Huaxia workers around, he vaguely sensed that there might be so connection.
But none of this matters—whatever Sofia instructs, as long as it’s legal, he’ll honestly go about it—even if it ans skirting the legal edge a bit, it’s not a big issue.
With the construction of a fifty square ter boardroom, Sofia wanted to cultivate again—the relevant paperwork is already being handled by soone.
And surrounding her are Huaxia citizens—even when church mbers ca from the town, they didn’t dare recklessly disrupt the Huaxia gathering places.
Feng Jun, anwhile, said, “Wait a bit; I just finished handling Wolf’s affairs. Now that I’m here, I have my own matters to attend to. Give a few days, and after my work is done, I’ll co back to protect you.”
As the Earth Vein Traction here neared completion, he began to take notice, unlike before when he couldn’t care less how Sofia cultivated but felt the necessity to protect her now.
Yet, this couldn’t be helped—it’s too close a distance to the church. Sofia cultivating here poses considerable risk, and whereas Sofia could escape, a Daoist Temple couldn’t.
Upon hearing he had other matters, Sofia imdiately said, “Count in!”
Feng Jun genuinely didn’t want to bring her; nonetheless, he couldn’t resist her insistence, saying, “You went to Mai Nation for matters without . Eventually, I’ll have to take care of things here. You should fly with soti, right?”
Turns out this fearless little girl wants to fly in the sky again.
So, go fly—it’s essentially that Feng Jun is easy-going, and it’s just to take a look at a smoking volcano really.
To be honest, Feng Jun’s interest in viewing volcanoes wasn’t great. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have devotedly handled Wolf’s issues to the point of suspecting he was swindled by Xiao Caixin.
At least, he’s never seen a smoking volcano in his life, so taking so spare ti to see one could be considered broadening his experience.
His plan was fleshly flight, so bringing Sofia along wasn’t a problem.
The smoking volcano was over two thousand kiloters from Amstan, and dayti flight over this distance wasn’t difficult. However, Sofia insisted repeatedly, stating she firmly wouldn’t enter the Spirit Beast Bag.
With an arm wrapped around Sofia’s waist, Feng Jun reached the sky above the island in three hours. To his surprise, she thoroughly enjoyed this position, didn’t feel tired in the slightest, and even let out yelps of delight occasionally from the scenic views.
Feng Jun couldn’t maintain one posture for three hours even if he were riding a bullet train.
But truthfully, he wasn’t solely relying on his arm to hold her waist; otherwise, her waist might not break, but at least suffer a herniated disc. He mostly enveloped her using Spiritual Energy.
Once over the island, there wasn’t much to see—the heat from the volcano’s smoke slled faintly sulfurous, and even at two thousand ters in altitude, Feng Jun felt the heat waves constantly rising.
At this distance… there’s really no way to examine nearby objects! He felt it was a wasted trip.
Sofia, however, took out a cara and began clicking away, looking as though she were preparing for social dia sharing.
Of course, Feng Jun knows she won’t post them to Facebook or Twitter, and since the cara lacks Wi-Fi connectivity, there’s no worry about hacks, so he let her be.
After a while, two helicopters flew over, seemingly of scientific expedition type.
Feng Jun began discussing with Sofia, “I want to go down to feel it closely. Can I keep you in the Spirit Beast Bag?”
“No,” Sofia rejected without hesitation, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of heat… You’re trying to observe the earth vein here, aren’t you?”
Her question made Feng Jun’s eyes light up—I’ve been focusing too much on the nearby items, I can totally use the thod of observing Earth Veins to check out this volcano’s condition.
But two thousand ters is still too high, so he descended to a height of a hundred ters, right at the edge of the volcano’s mouth. The overwhelming heat waves hit him, feeling like they were trying to roast him alive.
Sofia directly took off her pants and shirt—they were her cold weather gear for high-altitude flying, leaving only a small camisole and shorts, and even then, she was still shouting about the heat.
Feng Jun looked at her helplessly, “Hot air rises… be grateful, if it weren’t for , you’d already be cooked halfway through.”
Sofia was about to speak, but Feng Jun slapped his thigh and exclaid excitedly, “I knew it, this possibility definitely exists!”
What did he discover? Earth Vein disruption!
Volcanoes in the brewing phase of eruption can cause Earth Vein disruption. Feng Jun, through the Earth Dragon Scripture, observed the Earth Vein’s aura here as scattered and fluctuating.
Actually, this principle isn’t hard to understand, the Earth Vein definitely follows the terrain. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and the like can change the terrain and naturally affect the direction of the Earth Vein.
And since this volcano is currently on the verge of eruption, an erratic Earth Vein really isn’t surprising, is it?
He spaced out here, while Sofia was getting impatient. Her camisole and shorts were all soaked with sweat, and her hair turned into clumps, “Haven’t you finished looking yet? I feel like I’m almost cooked halfway through.”
Feng Jun didn’t even glance at her, just snorted lightly, “I offered for you to enter the Spirit Beast Bag but you refused, now endure!”
“Then I’ll keep taking off!” Sofia didn’t listen to him—of course, maybe she had a different intention, “Aren’t you hot? Do you want to help you take it off? You don’t plan to stay here for a month, do you?”
She sowhat understood Earth Veins, knowing only that Feng Jun had spent a month altering Earth Veins in that area and would continue for so ti, so she felt he might stay here for that long too, which was disastrous for her.
“Stay that long?” Feng Jun first frowned, then pulled out his mobile phone and swiped it, smiling, “Those two helicopters are closing in, we can leave now.”
The helicopters used for scientific exploration might have all kinds of strange detection instrunts. He didn’t want to get too close to these two helicopters—even though the chance of him being discovered was close to zero, but… why take that risk?
The key was, through the third ring’s predictive function, he’d discovered the disruption of the Earth Vein here, still unsure how long it would persist. He felt continuing to stay wouldn’t be very aningful, so he might as well follow Zhang Caixin’s speculation and check the nearby tectonic plates.
But in the next mont, he discovered sothing new and interesting: a faintly visible Earth Vein going straight into the sea.
Into the sea… Feng Jun chased it to the seaside, feeling a bit dumbfounded, “No, I still have to send you back first, and then head into the sea.”
“Can you protect ?” Sofia genuinely didn’t want to go back, her curiosity was too strong, especially since they had moved away from the volcano mouth, the heat was gone, and she wasn’t afraid anymore, “I can also offer you so reasonable suggestions.”
She felt that so suggestions she had made had been accepted by him.
The key was, she really wanted to play this ga, it was simply too thrilling. At school, she’d seen others play thrilling gas like parkour, free climbing, or cliff gliding, but those people seed silly to her.
Soone like Feng Jun, sotis soaring in the sky, sotis diving into the sea, really seed to be challenging the limits to her.
The key was… being with him was actually pretty safe.
So, if she could enjoy a safe yet thrilling ga, why not give it a try?
Feng Jun thought for a mont and didn’t refuse, Sofia made a valid point; she indeed brought him so inspiration—in the journey of cultivation, he’d co a long way, his thoughts had beco sowhat fixed, and new ideas could help open up his mind.
Many cultivators, upon reaching a certain level, need to undergo Worldly Trials, precisely because they feel the need for new inspiration.
Feng Jun himself hadn’t realized that this kind of mindset might signify he already felt old.
In fact, he was indeed old. Traveling between two worlds, his true age was already over thirty.
“Well then,” he didn’t insist on sending her back but pulled out a bottle of saline and handed it to her, “Drink so water, you sweated quite a lot just now.”
Sofia took the plastic bottle, drank a mouthful, then sprayed it out, “Why is the mineral water salty?”
“It’s saline,” Feng Jun replied indifferently, not caring whether she understood or not, “You dehydrated quite badly just now, and if you only drink mineral water, it might lead to electrolyte imbalance and then diarrhea.”
Sofia indeed didn’t quite understand, only knowing he had a reason for her to drink this water, and she didn’t want to “have diarrhea”—that word she understood.
After drinking two mouthfuls of saline, she grimaced and said, “Give a small bottle of mineral water, when drinking alcohol you need a snack to go with it… Can I drink it together?”
