Hearing Lin Lao's words, Lin Feng also felt that if he refused again, it wouldn't be good for either side. Moreover, since Lin Lao mentioned that Lin Mei would be going too, Lin Feng didn't mind tagging along to take a look. After all, even if he didn't go, Lin Mei would still be going, so who would he follow then?
"Well, since Lin Lao trusts me, I will respectfully comply," Lin Feng said after considering everything. He realized he had no reason to refuse anymore.
"Good, you can rest assured. Once this matter is settled, if you have any requests, feel free to bring them up. The Lin family owes you a big favor, and I will definitely not be vague about what I can do," Lin Lao said generously upon hearing Lin Feng's agreement.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng smiled. If the other party knew his true purpose for coming to their group at this moment, he wondered if they would still have this attitude.
With everything settled, Lin Feng left. As he was leaving, he was informed that he wouldn't need to work the next day and should rest well; the day after that, he would go out with Lin Mei and the others.
Naturally, Lin Feng had no objections to this. With Lin Xing around, he wouldn't have to do much of the physical work. As for understanding ginseng, Lin Feng had Tesla in his magic ring, so there was no need for him to worry about that.
So after a good night's sleep at home, the next day, Lin Feng met up with He Ting at a secret location.
Once seated, Lin Feng briefly told He Ting about what had happened over the past few days and mentioned that he would be going with Lin Mei and the others to gather ginseng tomorrow.
"Well, that's indeed a good way to infiltrate. Just be careful tomorrow; help out where you can. However, I really didn't expect you to know about ginseng," He Ting nodded in agreement with Lin Feng's decision but ended with a teasing tone.
"Hehe... Actually, I don't know much about ginseng; it's more about herbs," Lin Feng replied as he stood up to straighten his clothes and said something cool before leaving.
To be honest, although Lin Feng didn't have any awareness of being a spy, he knew that his meetings with He Ting should be minimized and shortened. After all, caution is key.
Even though Lin Feng didn't have the mindset of a spy, once a task was set in motion, he would definitely do his best.
Watching Lin Feng leave, He Ting seemed deep in thought.
On the first day of rest, Lin Mei came early in the morning to pick up Lin Feng and take him to the Lin family as everyone prepared to set out.
There were five people in total going along: besides Lin Feng and the three of them, there were also two elite subordinates of Lin Xing named Ajie and Akun.
Both of them were tall and strong individuals, and upon seeing Lin Feng, they greeted him kindly.
In response, Lin Feng smiled and nodded, introducing himself, and the group became acquainted.
"Alright, Lin Feng, let's head out," Lin Mei said decisively. After checking the supplies, the five of them started the engines of two off-road vehicles and set off.
Lin Feng, Lin Xing, and Lin Mei shared one vehicle, while Ajie and Akun took the other. Both groups had excellent communication and navigation equipment, so they only needed to follow Lin Feng's vehicle without needing directions.
Thus, Lin Feng and Lin Xing took turns driving, and the group smoothly reached their destination within a day's journey.
According to the map, the city where the Millennium Ginseng was located was right next to J City. Therefore, before they left, Lin Mei had already contacted a hotel. As soon as Lin Feng and the others arrived at their destination, they had a place to eat and rest. Everyone was tired from the journey, so after freshening up, they went to rest with plans to set out early the next morning to search for ginseng.
The next morning, everyone woke up on time at dawn for breakfast before heading out.
They knew this trip might not be simple; they could end up camping outside.
After all, ginseng grows deep in the forest, so Lin Mei and her team aimed to maximize their search time during daylight; otherwise, moving at night would be much more difficult.
Particularly, Lin Feng had mentioned to Lin Mei that since Millennium Ginseng was so precious, there might be guardians in its surroundings—possibly plants or animals—so it was best to be prepared.
Among the group, Lin Feng had the most knowledge about ginseng, so everyone naturally heeded his advice.
When they reached the mountain indicated on the map as having ginseng, they moved closer. Since the map was drawn by Lin Feng, he and Lin Xing took up mountain knives and began clearing a path ahead.
As for Lin Mei, she was protected by Lin Xing's two elite subordinates as she followed behind Lin Feng and Lin Xing.
Initially, Old Man Lin believed that Lin Mei should not come along; being a woman would only hinder them. However, due to her firm attitude insisting on joining the expedition out of filial piety, he ultimately agreed but instructed Lin Xing to take good care of her.
Because of this arrangement, Lin Xing's subordinates accompanied them; otherwise, it would have likely just been Lin Feng and Lin Xing going together.
Finally, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng and his group arrived at the point marked on the map and began their search for ginseng.
At this moment, Lin Feng's role came into play. He pretended to knead the soil around him and then sniffed it at the tip of his nose.
This series of actions made everyone mistakenly believe that Lin Feng was trying to locate the specific position of the Ginseng through the soil. After all, Lin Feng couldn't just tell others that he possessed powerful Mental Power, which allowed him to quickly determine the approximate location of the Ginseng.
Therefore, although this act was tedious, Lin Feng still had to endure and complete it.
"Well, it should be around here. Shall we dig?" After going through these motions last night, Lin Feng began to draw a conclusion. Knowing full well that the Ginseng was indeed in this spot, he still had to speak in a tone of "let's give it a try" to everyone.
Here, Lin Feng understood Ginseng better than anyone else. Since he said so, everyone naturally had no objections and began to dig for the Ginseng.
Even Lin Mei took an Iron Trowel, eager to contribute her share of effort.
Next, Lin Feng reminded everyone to be careful while digging, warning them not to damage the roots of the Ginseng. If they did manage to unearth it but damaged it in the process, its value would be significantly reduced.
Everyone understood this well; they nodded at Lin Feng and then started working.
However, as they dug, Lin Feng suddenly sensed something was off because he felt a kind of wriggling sensation beneath his feet.
"Xing Ge, did you notice anything strange underground?" Given this situation, Lin Feng naturally wanted to discuss it with Lin Xing.
"Oh? Let me listen." Upon hearing this, Lin Xing didn't dare to take it lightly. He waved his hand to stop everyone's actions and began to listen carefully.
However, he ultimately shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything!"
In response, Lin Feng immediately used his Mental Power to probe the area with a serious expression. He knew that Tesla wouldn't deceive him; since there was Millennium Ginseng here, it was highly likely that there were some guardians present as well.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Feng had to be extra cautious about any sounds.
Seeing Lin Feng listening intently, Lin Xing took out a stethoscope from his pocket. It was thoughtful of Lin Xing to bring this along; now its usefulness was becoming apparent.
With the stethoscope in hand, Lin Xing also crouched down and listened carefully.
However, Lin Feng's frown deepened as he sensed something. Finally, he shouted, "There's something on the ground, everyone run!"
After shouting, Lin Feng grabbed Lin Mei and took off running.
He knew that the others present were seasoned warriors; with his shout, they should be able to react quickly and escape. However, even if Lin Mei reacted, she would hesitate for a moment. Lin Feng understood deeply that in certain situations, hesitation could mean death. Therefore, he immediately pulled Lin Mei along, not giving her a chance to hesitate.
Sure enough, just as Lin Xing also leaped forward to run, something burst out of the ground where he had been lying moments before.
As Lin Xing ran while looking back, he silently thanked his luck. If it weren't for Lin Feng's timely warning, he might have been attacked by that creature from underground. At that point, it would have been a matter of life and death.
Thinking this way, Lin Xing ran even faster. He knew that their priority was to distance themselves from this unknown entity so they could use their firearms for long-range shooting.
Finally, Lin Feng and his group reached a small hill and began to observe the creature there.
It had broken through the ground, so it must be an animal.
However, Lin Feng and the others never expected it to be a giant snake.
A python is considered large, but Lin Feng could guarantee that the largest snake he knew of in this world was probably less than a quarter of the size of this enormous serpent before him.
The massive snake's head rose up to the height of two stories; wasn't that big enough?
Watching the snake flicking its tongue, Lin Xing felt even more grateful for Lin Feng's earlier shout. If it hadn't been for Lin Feng's warning, Lin Xing estimated he might have been swallowed whole by this beast since it had emerged directly from underground.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. At that moment, Lin Xing drew his sidearm and began shooting at the giant snake.
Seeing Lin Xing take action, his subordinates also drew their weapons and started firing at the massive serpent.
"Xing Ge, give me a gun," said Lin Feng as he approached Lin Xing.
"Here," replied Lin Xing as he pulled out a gun from his waist and handed it to Lin Feng.
Taking the gun, Lin Feng directly disengaged the safety and began shooting at the snake's weak point.
He understood the principle of striking at the weak spot.
Sure enough, the body of this large snake was extremely tough, but he managed to draw blood with a few shots at its weak point.
Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Lin Xing and the others quickly realized and aimed at the snake's weak spot as well.
However, this large snake had clearly grown strong for a reason; it seemed almost intelligent as it used its body to shield its weak point.
It was clear that it knew this area was its vulnerability.
At the same time, the snake's body suddenly arched backward.
"Not good, that big lady is about to spring up! This kind of gun won't do much damage to it. We need to run!" Lin Feng was the first to notice the snake's movement and grabbed Lin Mei's hand to start fleeing.
It wasn't that Lin Feng was cowardly; it was just that this large snake was too powerful, and he didn't dare to confront it head-on.
