Interesting. It seemed that strength could not solve everything. Sometimes, one had to rely on intelligence.
Du Feng squatted inside the mechanical puppet. Due to the limited space, the small metal stool he had made for himself was a little short. But it did not matter. He was just using it temporarily. When he was 500 meters away, he felt a little nervous and stopped.
Because his vision was blocked, he could not understand what was happening in front of him. He had to stop. Du Feng used a little strength to make the mechanical puppet spin. He tried to seal his power of divinity and only used his muscles. The mechanical puppet had successfully turned around, but he could still clearly feel the pressure quietly descending on him from all directions without any warning.
Du Feng quickly let go and stopped moving. Not only did he retract his power of divinity, but his entire body seemed to be in hibernation. The pressure that quietly descended disappeared as well, as if it had never been there in the first place. But the dents on the surface of the mechanical puppet proved that it had indeed descended.
If he had not retracted his strength quickly, the mechanical puppet would have been compressed into a metal pancake and thrown. After spinning for a while, it was torn to pieces.
"Phew …"
Du Feng calmed down and took a deep breath. Then, he activated the mechanical puppet and continued moving forward. Activating the mechanical puppet only required a small thought. It was not enough to trigger a counterforce.
Just like that, the mechanical puppet advanced steadily under his control. After advancing another five hundred meters, the light began to dim. First, it was too far from Silver City. The light was not very bright. Second, it was blocked by the mountains on both sides, so it formed a dark side.
Du Feng was prepared. He lit up the luminous pearl on the mechanical puppet. The gentle light scattered in front of him. As expected, there was another turn after 500 meters. Not only that, there was a pile of bones on the ground.
Without a doubt, someone or an animal had died here. Whether it was a person or an animal, it was impossible to tell. Because the pile of bones had been broken into small pieces and had been severely weathered, it was impossible to tell its original state.
He did not know who it was. To be able to reach this position with their own strength, it could be said to be very powerful. The reason why his bones were broken was probably because he had resisted the hurricane in God Burial Valley. And the result was that he had turned into a pile of broken bones.
He had probably died or given up halfway through the fight, which was why he had turned into bone fragments instead of powder. If the fight had been even more intense, not even bone fragments would have been left behind.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … What a pity, a talent died.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes. Du Feng also felt sorry for this person's death. Because when he got closer, he saw the token on the ground. It was everyone's identity token, and it was also the token for accepting the mission. This thing was really sturdy. It was still intact even after the person had turned into a pile of broken bones.
Since he had the token, he was sure that the person who died was a human and not an animal. Because of this, Du Feng felt that it was a pity.
He himself had also reached the 1,000 meter mark, but he had relied on opportunistic methods. Of course, this could also be called wisdom. No matter what, he controlled the mechanical puppet to pass through this place smoothly. Because of his previous experience, he used less force this time, so the counterforce he received was smaller.
Even so, the metal surface of the mechanical puppet still caved in a little more. This was because the special characteristic of the God Burial Valley was that the deeper one went, the stronger the backlash. Even if one used very little force, one could still feel it.
The mechanical puppet continued forward, and Du Feng became more and more careful. As he went deeper, he didn't see any white bones. Perhaps no one had died inside, or perhaps there were no bones left. In any case, after going through 50 turns, he finally arrived at his destination.
There was a turn every 500 meters, and 50 turns actually only covered 25,000 meters, which was 50 kilometers. If this was any other time, Du Feng would be able to run in a short time, or spread his wings and fly.
But in the God Burial Valley, every step was dangerous. A short 50 kilometers took several hours, and the sky was about to turn dark. The so-called dark sky meant that the nearby cities no longer emitted divine light, and the land was plunged into darkness.
The deadline for the mission was three in the morning. If the letter was not delivered any later, it would be considered a mission failure.
He looked at the cave in front of him, and there was actually a sealed stone door. It seemed like someone lived here. If he guessed correctly, the person inside should be Feng Laosan. According to the rules of the mission, he only needed to hand the letter to him.
As long as he received the letter, the mission would be completed, and it didn't matter if he replied or not.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Du Feng controlled the mechanical puppet to hit the stone door, and the sound was especially loud. If there was someone inside, they would definitely be able to hear it. But after hitting for a while, there was no response.
What was going on, could it be that he wasn't here? But the surrounding environment was so harsh, where could he go? He couldn't have died and made me come here for nothing, right? Honestly speaking, it was quite tiring for Du Feng to make this trip. If not for his quick wits to make a simple mechanical puppet, he wouldn't have been able to reach his destination so smoothly.
But he was already here, and yet Feng Laosan wasn't here. This was too ironic.
Just as Du Feng was feeling depressed, a person walked over from afar. This person's hair was disheveled, and he was wearing beast skin. On his shoulder was a dead wild boar, and in his hand was a basket filled with fruits. He looked like a barbarian.
Looking at his grey hair, Du Feng knew that this person was Feng Laosan.
Everyone said that he couldn't leave the God Burial Valley, which was why he needed someone to deliver a letter. But from the looks of it, he was living a good life here. Being able to hunt and pluck fruits meant that he could work hard. There was a special characteristic of the God Burial Valley. The first 25 miles, the resistance would get stronger and stronger. After 25 miles, the resistance would get weaker and weaker.
At the location where Feng Laosan was, the suppression wasn't as obvious anymore. But to be able to live here for such a long time, it was quite impressive.
From the direction he came from, he was in the deeper parts of the valley. If he lived there, the suppression might be even weaker, and he might be able to leave the valley from the other side. Since that was the case, why didn't he go back to see his family?
"I advise you not to go there, or else you will end up like me."
Feng Laosan seemed to understand Du Feng's thoughts, and knew that he was interested in the deeper parts of the valley. But after receiving the letter, he immediately dissuaded him.
"Help me reply to this letter. Tell them not to write to me in the future and not to harm others."
