Just like that, Duanmu Rongqiang took Duanmu Ronghao's soul and Xiahou Xuanzhong helped Xiahou Yan back to the temple and then teleported back to the Sacred City. It would take some time for them to return. Meanwhile, Du Feng had already taken Chen Tianlei and Lady Zi to the pangolin's nest.
He had investigated before and found that there were five pangolins in total. Now that the most powerful male pangolin had been taken care of, the remaining female pangolin and the three cubs should be no problem.
"Damn it, it's all that guy's fault that my brother died. Whose guest elder is he? We must find out. "
Things weren't as simple as they had thought, because Duanmu Ronghao had died and needed to be resurrected. In order to cover up his incompetence, Duanmu Rongqiang pushed all the blame to Du Feng. He could tell that Duanmu Rongqiang was a human cultivator, and human cultivators didn't have the right to stay in the city independently, so he thought that Duanmu Rongqiang was a guest of some family.
Even if he couldn't deal with Du Feng, he had to find out whose name he was. He could use his power in the Sacred City to make things difficult for the family he was a guest of. In this way, he could create trouble for Du Feng.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll find out right away."
The Duanmu Family had also hired many bodyguards. After receiving the order, someone immediately went to investigate Du Feng.
Unlike Du Feng's family, the two brothers of the Xiahou family returned with serious injuries. They didn't push the blame to others, but felt that they weren't capable enough. Although they all had the surname Xiahou, the Xiahou family in the Sacred City was different from the Xiahou family in the Gold City.
Interestingly, the two families were actually relatives, or more accurately, the same origin. However, the Xiahou family in the Gold City was from a branch family, and in order to make money, he also ran to become a City Lord. From the City Lord of Yellow Sand City to the City Lord of Gold City, he not only earned fame but also made a lot of money.
"What do you mean by that kid named Du Feng? He was in the Gold City and was a guest of the Shangguan family."
At first, Xiahou Xuanzhong and Xiahou Yan didn't want to mention Du Feng, so they simply told them how they got injured. However, someone from the Xiahou Family took it to heart and asked around. As a result, they found out that Du Feng was an old acquaintance of the Xiahou Family. This old acquaintance was not a good thing, but an old enemy.
Du Feng had caused the Xiahou family a great deal of trouble back in Gold City, especially back in the Skymonster Region. City Lord Xiahou's descendants did not make it out of the Divine Monster Territory alive. Even now, they suspected that this had something to do with Du Feng. He had been looking for a chance to take revenge, but as a Divine Emperor Realm senior, it was not convenient for him to do it in the city.
Now that Du Feng had provoked House Xiahou of the Holy City, he immediately sensed his opportunity.
Xiahou Xuanzhong and Xiahou Yan didn't move, but someone from the Xiahou Family immediately moved. In the end, Du Feng spared their lives, but the Duanmu and Xiahou Families still hated him out of jealousy. At this moment, Du Feng did not know what had happened in the Holy City. He was taking Chen Tianlei and Lady Azi to the pangolin's nest.
The structure of a pangolin's nest was very simple. It was just a hole in the ground or on the hillside. However, pangolins were not stupid. They had more than one nest. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As an expert in digging, pangolins had to prepare more nests for themselves.
"Oh, the nest of pangolins is gone."
When Du Feng and the others went over, they found that the nest of pangolins was gone. Because the male pangolin did not return after a long time, the female pangolin guessed that something might have happened to it, so she took her cubs away. One had to admit that the pangolin was very cunning.
"What should we do? Did you remember wrongly?"
Lady Azi was a little disappointed when she saw that her cubs were gone.
"We can't remember wrongly. Their auras are still here."
Chen Tianlei was right. The auras left by the pangolins were still here. It meant that they had been here before and had not left for a long time. Although there were many nests of pangolins, they were not far from each other. As long as they looked around, they might be able to find them.
"Then how do you think we should find them?"
Although Lady Azi was smart, she did not have much experience in this kind of thing. On the other hand, Du Feng was lost in thought. He was wondering where the pangolins had gone.
Generally, when animals encountered danger, they would find a safe place to hide. They would definitely not go to a nest on a hillside like this one. Even if they wanted to go there, they would go to a nest underground. Because the nests in the ground were deeper and more hidden.
However, the weakness of the pangolin's nest was that there would be a mound on the surface. Experienced people could find the pangolin by looking at the shape of the mound.
"Let's go that way."
Du Feng looked at the terrain and analyzed where the pangolin might go. Then, he took Chen Tianlei and Lady Azi with him and swept the ground with his Divine Sense.
He did not look for the familiar mound because the pangolin would not be so stupid. Since it was hiding, it was impossible for it to leave the mound outside. If it was a hole with a mound outside, it would be to confuse people.
"Ah, there is a mound there. It is so strange."
Just as Du Feng thought of this, Lady Azi shouted excitedly because she found the pangolin's nest.
"Don't worry, there is definitely nothing in there."
Du Feng was also speechless. He thought how naive this girl was. How could the pangolin be so stupid to hide in such an obvious place? However, when he swept the place with his Divine Sense, he was dumbfounded. Because there was really a baby pangolin in the hole under the mound.
Yes, there was only one baby pangolin. The other two babies and the female pangolin were not there.
"Hahaha, I found it!"
Lady Azi happily dug the hole and took the baby out. She held it in her hands proudly.
Du Feng furrowed his brows when he saw this. He understood the intention of the female pangolin. It was to sacrifice this baby to save the other two babies. Obviously, it knew the intention of the human. It would not give up until it found the baby. So, it simply put one of the babies in a more conspicuous place.
If the human went to the previous place and gave up, then this baby could also survive. If the human was smart and knew to look in this direction, then the first one they found would be this baby. Hopefully, they would stop looking after the first cub.
"Okay, since you found it, you can go back."
Du Feng did not intend to continue looking. He did not want to kill the pangolin's family. Fighting with the male pangolin was a life-and-death battle. But now, it was a bit of a bully to encircle and kill its nest.
"Okay, I will take good care of it."
