(In the perfect world, the mischievous child Shi Hao was not suppressed and ran out to cause trouble in the previous chapter. Sorry, he has been caught and taken away.)
Here, at the easternmost part of Qingyang Town, the courtyard was surrounded by vast orchards, very quiet, and one could see the distant Taihang Mountains, with a unique view.
The yellow ox plunged into the orchard, galloping with its four hooves, shining with a golden luster, looking extremely divine.
Chu Feng chased after it, using all his strength, but could only follow behind. This one-meter-tall calf had super strength and a speed that left people speechless.
Ordinary oxen are generally considered clumsy and slow, but these characteristics did not apply to the yellow ox.
It darted through the vast orchards, light and swift, as if flying over the grass, and directly reached an open area, leaving the orchard.
A low hill, not very high, appeared ahead. On this morning with the rising sun, it emitted wisps of white mist.
This hill did not exist before; it had suddenly appeared during the strange changes a few days ago, which Chu Feng already knew.
Other hills that appeared were majestic and grand, but this one was clearly different, only two to three hundred meters high, very low.
In recent days, the yellow ox had been eyeing it.
It had been staring in this direction all along, closely watching, and only started to act today.
Chu Feng was surprised; was this the yellow ox's target?
The yellow ox lowed, a deep, rumbling sound like thunder, expressing its excitement and joy. After lying low for several days, it finally took action.
The low hill had no rare herbs, ancient trees, or fierce birds and beasts, just a common hill that emitted wisps of white mist in the early morning, making it somewhat different.
The yellow ox stood there, its eyes burning with intense desire, waiting quietly.
Although Chu Feng was curious, he did not speak. He remained calm, standing with the yellow ox, waiting for the mysterious moment to arrive.
The sun rising over the Taihang Mountains seemed especially red, and the morning glow on the body felt warm and comfortable, giving a sense of indescribable ease.
At the same time, Chu Feng noticed that the entire world seemed to have gained more vitality.
Suddenly, the morning glow burst forth, becoming more sacred, illuminating the earth.
At the same time, Chu Feng was surprised to find that the distant giant mountains, such as those deep in the Taihang Mountains, were glowing and radiating outward.
"There is a dense vitality that has suddenly spread across the land," Chu Feng showed a surprised expression.
It was emanating from those ancient mountains, spreading throughout the world, making people feel as if their pores were opening, as if they were being cleansed.
The yellow ox did not move, ignoring all this, and continued to stare at the low hill.
Suddenly, the low hill trembled, emitting a light mist, becoming very mysterious.
The yellow ox let out an excited roar, rushing up the hill, following the path where the morning glow and white mist were surging.
It was a cave, previously hidden by vines, now revealed.
With a swoosh, the yellow ox plunged in, unable to hide its excitement. Chu Feng followed behind, the cave was deep and extended inward.
The path was marked with axe marks, indicating it was artificially excavated, not a natural cave, and it was unclear when it was created.
Inside the cave, clouds and mist billowed, illuminated by the morning glow, giving an unreal feeling, somewhat hazy. It was just a cave, but why was it so mysterious?
In this environment, Chu Feng found his body's vitality increasing.
There was a strange substance nourishing his flesh.
Suddenly, he saw clearly, a small silver snake clinging to the rock wall. The yellow ox rushed over and swallowed it in one bite.
No, Chu Feng suddenly realized, it might not be an ordinary snake. It emitted a fragrant scent and, when bitten by the yellow ox, turned into a white mist, entering its mouth and nose.
After swallowing one, the yellow ox rushed towards the end of the cave.
The path was radiant, not dark at all, and there was no need to worry about hitting the walls.
Chu Feng followed the yellow ox closely, feeling as if they had run for several miles, which was abnormal, far exceeding the limits of the low hill's interior.
It was a straight path, not winding or ascending and descending.
"Folded space!" Chu Feng thought of these words immediately. He had actually encountered it and experienced it firsthand.
The path was long, and they saw several more silver snakes. Chu Feng also caught two and swallowed them, feeling as if he were ascending to immortality, light and airy.
This was a white mist? Chu Feng was surprised. He was certain it was a special substance that could enhance life vitality, absolutely invaluable.
Finally, the path ended, and a hazy light blocked the way, concealing something.
With a moo, the yellow ox decisively stepped forward, and Chu Feng followed.
The next moment, the yellow ox was stunned, and Chu Feng was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe, feeling very unreal.
At the end of the path, the world suddenly became silent, with no sound at all.
The most incomprehensible thing was that a huge star was right in front of them, vast and slowly rotating, appearing suddenly.
Perhaps, it could also be said that Chu Feng and the yellow ox had arrived suddenly, seeing this scene abruptly.
Could they be in space, seeing a giant planet? It was not far away, and they could feel its grandeur.
The yellow ox was shocked, and Chu Feng was petrified. It made no sense to pass through a cave and end up in such a place.
Gravity and other forces seemed to have failed, and they did not feel them.
"If we get closer, can we reach that planet?" Chu Feng asked, as if in a dream.
It was an ancient planet, with a sense of沧桑 (cang桑) (aged and weathered), carrying the aura of countless years, silent and slowly rotating.
A dense white mist emanated from it, surging towards them, spreading through the cave.
"Something is coming!" Chu Feng exclaimed.
On the giant planet, besides the white mist, objects were rapidly approaching, heading towards the cave.
"Ah, silver snakes?" He saw them, the strange substance condensed into snake-like forms, arriving with the mist.
The yellow ox opened its mouth and began to swallow.
Seeing this, Chu Feng did not hesitate and also began to catch the silver snakes, knowing they were not snakes but rare, mysterious substances.
He then saw block-like objects, which were also the same substance, emitting a fragrant scent when swallowed.
Why was there a planet, and were they standing in space? Chu Feng didn't care; he and the yellow ox continued to capture the strange substances.
In the end, their bellies swelled, and they could no longer bear it, their stomachs almost tearing. Reluctantly, they set off on their return journey.
When they emerged from the cave, Chu Feng felt as if he had entered another world. Where had they just been?
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the low hill trembled, beginning to crack.
The yellow ox roared and galloped down the hill.
Chu Feng, feeling full and unable to run, grabbed the yellow ox's golden horns and sat on its back.
The yellow ox glared back, but there was no time to stop. After several attempts to throw Chu Feng off, it failed and had to head down the hill.
When they were far away, the low hill slowly disintegrated, finally crumbling with a loud boom, turning into a cloud of dust.
During this process, white mist surged like a river, dense and unbreakable.
It took a long time for the mist to disperse in all directions, returning to the world.
The yellow ox forgot to settle accounts with Chu Feng, tucking its neck and waiting for a long time until the dust settled, then cautiously approached.
Chu Feng also approached, but only soil and rocks remained, the cave and the folded space were gone.
"How could there be such a place, connected to a planet?" Chu Feng was puzzled.
The yellow ox did not answer. Back in the courtyard, it immediately began a special breathing technique, which lasted for a long time.
Chu Feng also practiced, clearly feeling something extraordinary, his vitality exceptionally strong, and he sweated profusely throughout his body, feeling dazed.
After an unknown amount of time, he regained consciousness. He felt his heartbeat was particularly strong, thumping like a drum.
"When I focused, I could hear my organs like drums?" Chu Feng was stunned.
Then, he noticed his vision had significantly improved, and he could clearly see a mountain cat on a distant peak, something impossible in the past.
Chu Feng was startled. He felt extremely sweaty and dirty, and he had a strong sense of hunger, feeling he could eat a whole ox.
He immediately stared at the yellow ox, which had also awakened and was looking at him with green eyes, baring its teeth as if ready to eat him.
Chu Feng quickly went to shower and then placed various foods on the table, starting to eat voraciously.
On the other side, the yellow ox did the same, eating all the grass and fruit, and finally抢 (qiang) (grabbing) Chu Feng's food, including the meat.
For some reason, Chu Feng felt extremely hungry, unable to get full, eating as much as ten meals in the past, yet still feeling an alarming hunger.
But Chu Feng dared not eat more, fearing his stomach would be damaged, and could only watch the yellow ox devour everything.
He was scared and went to find an old doctor in town, worried about potential health issues.
"Why are you so abnormal?" Doctor Wang, with his gray temples and kind eyes, was now quite shocked, looking at Chu Feng with a furrowed brow.
Chu Feng was startled and asked, "Is there a big problem with me?"
"No, you are far healthier than the average person, with some life values ten times higher!" Doctor Wang said, having conducted a comprehensive examination using some medical instruments.
Chu Feng was stunned, surprised by the result.
"But I'm very hungry," Chu Feng explained his problem.
"Do you feel bloated now?" Doctor Wang asked.
"Your digestion and absorption are also ten times better than the average person. If you're hungry, just eat; it should be fine." Although Doctor Wang had never seen such a patient, he was bold in his medical advice.
"Please keep this a secret!" Before leaving, Chu Feng repeatedly instructed, not wanting to reveal it.
Doctor Wang nodded solemnly and told Chu Feng to come back if there were any issues. In fact, he was very interested and wanted to follow up to see what Chu Feng would become.
When Chu Feng returned, he started eating voraciously!
While eating, he logged into his communicator to check various reports.
He was surprised to find that some places had experienced surging mists, with several mountains collapsing, and a sea of essence surging.
Wasn't this similar to the low hill? It was unclear if anyone had accidentally entered the folded space.
"Tell me, is this one of the opportunities you were waiting for in our world?" Chu Feng asked.
The yellow ox first nodded, then shook its head.
Chu Feng took some time to understand. For the yellow ox, this was not a significant matter, just a good opportunity.
Chu Feng was quite surprised. After all, his current life values had already exceeded ten times the average, all due to this!
Moreover, this change was still slowly progressing.
