Chapter 62: Scare Them

When he returned to the residence, Long Fei sent Song Wei to rest in the courtyard before he left. When he came out, Long Yu Heng was already waiting for him with a tablet in his hand.

"Are you going to the mountain to check what was going on?" Long Yu Heng asked. "Otherwise, should we let them cut more trees in this area?"

D Town has been around for hundreds of years and the Long family has been protecting this land for a long time. He cannot let those illegal loggers do just as they pleased, destroying the ecosystem in this land.

Long Fei was about to leave again when Long Yu Heng grabbed him in the arms, stopping him.

His brow furrowed and he looked very furious.

"Ah Fei, this time, they are not illegal loggers," Long Yu Heng spoke quickly before Long Fei would get impatient.

His expression changed. Long Fei narrowed his eyes, staring dangerously at his right-hand man. "What do you mean they are not illegal loggers? This land is sacred and protected."

Long Yu Heng fumbled with the tablet in his hand and finally showed him what was on the screen. "This time, it seemed that the mayor had approved it."

Long Fei grabbed the tablet from his cousin to read what was written on the document.

"The mayor planned to develop the west part of the mountain and turn it into a tourism area," Long Yu Heng continued to explain what he knew about the situation.

The more Long Fei read, the angrier he got. His hand gripped tightly on the tablet until there was a crack on it.

Long Yu Heng quickly took away his tablet and heaved in relief upon seeing that it was not dead. He had lost count of just how many tablets Long Fei had accidentally destroyed because of his anger.

"Mayor Ding Wei?" Long Fei frowned as he recalled meeting the bald mayor last year. "Didn't he know that the Long family is in charge of this land? How dare he."

When Mayor Ding was chosen as the mayor, they have thought of him as someone who could help them to protect this town. Who would have thought that this man had changed his mind? Or was that after being in the position for a few years, this man had gotten greedy?

"What are you planning to do now?"

"Yu Heng, tell Fu Xing to investigate Mayor Ding for me."

Long Yu Heng nodded. He could already imagine how Mayor Ding's career would end after this.

Just as he was about to pick up his phone and dialed Fu Xing's number, Long Yu Heng saw from the corner of his eyes that Long Fei was about to leave again.

"Ah Fei, where are you going?"

"I still need to stop the loggers before Fu Xing could get the information we need," Long Fei answered.

It might take a day for Fu Xing to investigate. Meanwhile, he could not sit still and wait for the loggers to cut down a few more trees.

If the mountains are dying, then, the lake will die too. The lake was very important not only to the residents in this town but for their families as well.

Long Fei especially depended a lot on this lake. Someone with a strange body condition like him has to rely on the lake to live.

Without the lake, how could he, and the rest of his family still live their life? This was why the Long family has been protecting this land for years.

This time, Long Yu Heng could no longer stop Long Fei from leaving. He watched the man disappear from his eyesight and frowned.

The sky was going to turn dark in a few hours.

Long Yu Heng did not know what Long Fei was planning to do to stop the loggers.

After pondering over this matter for a while, Long Yu Heng finally turned around to head to their grandfather's courtyard.

In a situation like this, it would be better to let their grandfather know of the situation.

…

The sky had already turned dark.

Long Fei jogged up the mountain until he could hear the voices from a distance away. Squinting his eyes, Long Fei began to hide behind a tree to cover his presence.

This man has been running around for a few hours, climbing up the mountain. However, he did not show any hint of tiredness. His expression and breathing were calm as if he had just come back from a leisure walk.

Long Fei snuck slowly until he reached closer to the place where the group of people was camping. From his hiding place, he could see them eating and drinking while laughing out happily.

Seeing the scene in front of him made him furious.

This was not the first time that he had to drive away from the unwanted guests from the mountain. The last time he had appeared, the illegal loggers were too scared that they never come back for their equipment.

Some rumors spread and he thought that no one would dare to come again.

Since then, it has been more than a year since the last time someone dared to intrude on the mountain.

Long Fei continued to observe the situation. There were at least half a dozen men drinking around the campfire.

His eyes narrowed as he scanned the surroundings but could only find another one who was inside the tent.

After assessing the situation, Long Fei began to make a move.

He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. In just a few seconds, his body began to change. The blue and purple scales began to appear on his skin and his hands turned into claws. Once he thought that his size was enough to scare them, Long Fei began to move.

The group of people was still drinking and chatting happily. They thought about the amount of money they were going to receive after cutting down some trees in this mountain and could not stop laughing.

Suddenly, one of them stopped abruptly. The smile on his face faded and he was looking at the dark woods with a pale look on his face. "Did you guys see that?"

His friends turned in the direction where he was looking but could not see a thing.

"Old Yu, don't scare us like this. You have done this trick so many times. There is no way that we are going to believe you again," the man with the thin mustache spoke.

"No. I'm not tricking you." Old Yu spoke. "Listen carefully."

The group heaved a sigh. Seeing the anxious look on Old Yu's face, they all decided to entertain him.

The surroundings became quiet. Suddenly, everyone saw it. The movement in the woods. It was moving fast that they could not see clearly what it was.

Their faces turned pale. Just when everyone had thought that their mind was playing tricks on them, they finally saw the creature.

"S-snake! A giant snake!"

Their screams reverberated in the mountain.
