Lu Keke sat next to him, hugging her knees, looking at Lin Feng who seemed to have been staring at the moon in a daze, and asked with some puzzlement, "Lin Feng, what were you looking at just now?"
Lin Feng gazed at the night sky and said lightly, "I estimate it's going to rain in the latter part of the night."
"Rain? Impossible." Lu Keke glanced at the sky, with a bright moon and sparse stars, it didn't look like rain was coming.
"Haha, Lu Keke, don't listen to him spouting nonsense. Rain? Why not say it's going to hail next."
Wang Dako and Ma Han, who had just returned from gathering a pile of dry firewood outside, happened to hear this. Ma Han glanced at the sky instinctively, while Wang Dako outright sneered.
Ma Han also shook his head, "It shouldn't rain today."
Ma Han is an experienced man, his words generally hold true. Seeing that none of them believed him, Lin Feng didn't say more. Although Ma Han is experienced, his knowledge is limited to this small place. Lin Feng, in his previous life, had visited outside the Domain numerous times, where the mood and weather could change unpredictably. Choosing the right moment to act is crucial, closely related to the success of the mission and even one's own survival, thus Lin Feng had developed nearly-precognitive abilities to predict the weather.
"It's best to find some stones to block the entrance. If it rains, a lot of wild animals become irritable, and some might even run here for shelter," Lin Feng suggested.
Ma Han and Lu Keke exchanged looks and frowned slightly, both feeling that the weather was quite nice and not likely to rain.
"You must be bored after eating your fill, right? Makes sense, since you're the odd-job man, always following us and doing easy tasks. Now you have the energy to make wild guesses, that's normal. If you want to collect stones, do it yourself slowly; there are plenty over there, just hope your small physique can handle it."
Wang Dako directly pushed past Lin Feng, sneering as he brought a large pile of firewood to the campfire and ate some deer meat.
The others didn't react much either. Ma Han even came over to comfort Lin Feng a little, thinking he was nervous on his first trip to the mountains, overthinking everything.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly; apart from Wang Dako, the rest of the team was quite decent. Unfortunately, if it rained at midnight and a group of wild animals rushed in, they wouldn't be able to react in time. Although they had spread some powder around the perimeter earlier to drive away wild animals, the rain would wash it all away.
Thinking this, Lin Feng stood up and went outside to find some large stones.
Seeing him actually get moving, Wang Dako sneered, "This idiot really has nothing better to do."
Lu Keke hesitated for a moment, then followed him out. She instinctively felt that Lin Feng wasn't the type to blabber without basis.
"Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng turned around and saw Lu Keke chasing after him with her ponytail swinging, "What brought you out here? It's dark and dreary at night."
Lu Keke laughed, "I came to help you move stones, Lin Feng, I believe you weren't talking nonsense."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "There are many stones over there, let's have a look."
After he and Lu Keke gathered a large pile of stones and seeing them doing so diligently, the rest couldn't say much and came over to help use the stones to cover the entrance. Then, they spread another layer of demon beast-repelling medicine inside. The smell of this demon beast-repelling medicine is absolutely repulsive to humans too, akin to a pile of rotting fish.
"Damn, this moron has never done one good thing, and now he's dragging us into paying stupidity fees."
Wang Dako ran into the cave covering his nose.
Lin Feng remained indifferent and simply sat cross-legged to cultivate. Throughout the afternoon, they had hunted over a dozen Demon Beasts, and he felt that he had reached a bottleneck at Demon Dragon Star.
The others, seeing this, didn't know what to say. Apart from Lu Keke, the rest didn't believe it would rain tonight. Lin Feng's actions weren't precautionary, but merely overthinking, and he even dragged them to suffer together. However, they were not as hot-tempered as Wang Dako and just endured it.
Unconsciously, the night deepened, and after some cultivation inside the cave, everyone, leaning against the stone walls, gradually fell asleep, even the night watch Lu Keke.
Only Lin Feng continued to cultivate alone, like an old monk in deep meditation. Cultivation is a monotonous affair, and those who are slightly distracted or not mentally steadfast would fall asleep amidst their practice.
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded outside the cave. It was so abrupt that it woke everyone inside. They instinctively grabbed their weapons nearby, shocked by the thunderous noise outside.
It really thundered!
Everyone looked incredulously at Lin Feng, especially Ma Han, who prided himself as an experienced hunter with great weather forecasting skills, but this time, he was awfully wrong.
Such heavy rain, many would die tonight under the violent trampling of Demon Beasts.
Whenever there's a thunderstorm, all the Demon Beasts in the mountain range would become extremely agitated, even those in the water would jump out due to the thunder unsettling them.
"Lin Feng, you're amazing."
Illuminated by the lightning through the crevices, Lu Keke expressed both fear and admiration.
Inside the cave, Wang Dako was also somewhat stunned. This guy really guessed right; seeing the severe thunder outside, no one spoke for a moment, only hoping that the thunderstorm that agitated the Demon Beasts would end quickly.
This thunderstorm was particularly sudden and caught everyone off guard, even an experienced hunter like Ma Han was deceived. One could imagine how many campers outside would suddenly face an attack from the Demon Beasts. Just the thought was terrifying.
Upon this realization, everyone looked at Lin Feng with gratitude. This time, without any exaggeration, it can be said that Lin Feng saved everyone's lives.
"Lin Feng, thank you!"
At this moment, Ma Han, the team leader, showed a face full of seriousness and fear. As the person responsible for the team, he bowed to Lin Feng at a ninety-degree angle, showing his utmost gratitude.
Lin Feng waved his hand and smiled, "I'm also a member of the team. If I hadn't moved these stones to block the cave entrance, I would have died here today."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter, the atmosphere becoming lively again.
Only Wang Dako remained.
He looked at Lin Feng, who was surrounded by the group like the moon surrounded by stars, feeling utterly neglected and annoyed on the side. It was just damn luck.
Lin Feng's gaze fell on the large rock. Through the cracks, he could still see the heavy rain pouring outside. His eyes twinkled, realizing that not only many reckless people entering the mountain tonight would die, but also many Demon Beasts. And for him, this might be a good thing.
