When they returned to the cave, Ruirui was already snoring at the side. Ah Li was lying on the ground, not sleeping.
"Lin Feng, you're back." Seeing Lin Feng return, Ah Li stood up and said with a smile.
"Ah Li…come with me, I have something to ask you.”Lin Feng thought about it and decided to solve the question in his heart. If he didn't get to the bottom of it, he wouldn't be able to rest easy even if he left the Mechanical Forest.
" Okay…" Ah Li agreed and followed Lin Feng out of the cave. However, there seemed to be a hint of nervousness on her face.
The two of them came to the lakeside. With the sound of the waterfall splashing on the water, Lin Feng asked,"Ah Li, are you hiding something from me?”
Facing Lin Feng's question, Ah Li's face became more and more nervous. He wanted to speak a few times, but he kept his mouth shut.
After a moment, she finally mustered up her courage and said,""Lin Feng, are we…friends?”
"Of course!"
" Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. I'm from a big family in the Machinery Federation. I came to the Machinery Forest this time because I was sent here to train…" Ah Li revealed his true identity.
"So that's how it is…"
Lin Feng calmed down. He had thought that Li had some big secret, but it was just this.
"The rule that my family set for me is to rely on my own strength to leave the mechanical forest. I can feel that the energy barrier of the mechanical forest has disappeared.”Ah Li continued.
"Isn't this good? You will be able to leave the mechanical forest soon.”
"That's true, but compared to returning to my family, I prefer to stay in the mechanical forest. At least here, I can live freely.”Li said as if he couldn't bear to leave this place. Lin Feng could tell that Li didn't want to go back to his family.
"Since you like this place, you don't have to go back.”
"Not going back? That's impossible. The time for my trial is almost up. If I don't return by then, the family will send people to find me. At that time, it will be even more troublesome.”
"I'm here, what are you afraid of? I'll help you beat them up!"
Lin Feng didn't care about Li's worries and said domineeringly.
" Lin Feng, I appreciate your kindness, but…you're no match for them. I treat you as a friend, and I don't want to see you get hurt…"
"How is that possible? Brother is so powerful!" Hearing Li's words, Lin Feng's face was filled with unwillingness. He had just killed more than thirty watchmen single-handedly. Who dared to say that he wasn't powerful?
" Because..." Ah Li stopped mid-sentence. Then, her body lit up with a dazzling light.
As the light was revealed, Ah Li's body underwent a drastic change. The metal skin on her body slowly cracked into scales, and then reassembled. Her body also stood up, and her long tail was placed behind her.
Unlike Lin Feng and Iron Tan, Ah Li's battle form was completely humanoid. Even her head had turned into a robot. Although her body was still full of metal, it couldn't hide her proud curves. This was a unique beauty of women.
"Lin Feng, this is my true strength…"
"System, check her combat strength!”
Lin Feng could feel that Ah Li's aura was vastly different from before. He immediately communicated with the system, wanting to test her combat strength.
Mechanical White Fox detected. Attack 80, Defense 60! Host is advised to avoid it!
"This…is too powerful!" Lin Feng's mouth was wide open. Compared to Ah Li, he was simply trash. He reckoned that she could kill him with a single finger.
"My strength is at the bottom of the clan. If you can't even defeat me, how can you deal with them?”Ah Li shook her head, her expression helpless. She liked the Mechanical Forest, the friends here, and the freedom here. However, as a descendant of a big family, freedom was always a luxury.
"Don't worry, Ah Li. As long as you don't want to, I won't let them take you away. Even if I can't beat them, I will bite off two taels of their flesh!”
"Lin Feng, your words are enough…"
As Ah Li spoke, she transformed back into her fox form. Looking at her harmless appearance, Lin Feng could imagine that the humanoid mecha with amazing combat power was transformed from her.
After the short conversation, Lin Feng and Li returned to the cave and went to sleep…
