Wind Devouring The World - C114
At this moment Reginald spoke. “Don’t you care about your wife’s life?”
“It’s precisely because I care about her that I want all of you to leave. It’s just a coincidence that I’m able to control her. I know this fact very well.” If you don’t agree, I can only kill her. You won’t let me go anyway, right? ”
Reginald and Asa looked at each other. Then Reginald said: “How can we believe that you will be released after you are safe?”
When Reginald said such words, his attitude was already yielding. Ji Feng knew that he had basically succeeded. Of course, he also knew that the three of them were not the only ones chasing after him. Hence, he had to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Therefore, he said, “You can only choose to trust me, because this is your territory. Moreover, your strength is much higher than mine. “How about this, I only need five minutes. Five minutes later, you can all come over. By that time, I’ll have released her.”
Ji Feng’s words gave Gloria hope, and the fear in her eyes was immediately replaced by a pleading look. She could clearly feel that she was running out of spiritual power. If this went on, her spiritual power would be sucked dry by the monsoon. At that time, even if she escaped from Ji Feng’s clutches, there would still be no good ending for her.
Reginald and Asa naturally saw the pleading look in Gloria’s eyes. They looked at each other again, and both saw the look of compromise in each other’s eyes. Naturally, they knew about Ji Feng’s worries. They thought that even if they were in the same position as him, they would still make the same choice.
Seeing the two of them hesitating, Ji Feng warned, “Don’t waste your time. If you still can’t make a decision, I don’t mind killing her. Although we can’t escape, you will be punished.”
Seeing the pleading look in Gloria’s eyes grow stronger, Reginald and Asa took a step back at almost the same time. Asa said with a look of helplessness, “You can leave now. We’ll catch up in five minutes.” “If you dare hurt our lord, we will destroy you at all costs.”
Before Asa’s voice could fade away, Melinda ran towards Ji Feng. She had only taken two steps when she heard Ji Feng say, “Dearest, please bring that man’s sword over. I have no way to break this bone prison.”
Melinda turned to Reginald at once, and Reginald had to hand him the great sword. Melinda went over and took it in her hand. She was only an auxiliary mage, so it was quite strenuous for her to wield a heavy two-handed sword. Moreover, her strength had already been exhausted from her earlier escape. He had just recovered slightly, but was worried about the monsoon. She did not dare to delay any longer. Carrying her broadsword, she staggered towards Ji Feng, almost falling down. Fortunately, her reaction was quite fast, and she used the greatsword to support her center of gravity. By the time she reached the prison, she was panting heavily.
“Rest for a moment and then use your greatsword to hack at him.”
She nodded, breathing heavily as her breasts rose and fell. Dozens of seconds passed. She stood in position, selected a bone from the bone prison, gripped her greatsword with both hands, and suddenly turned around. Everyone swept towards the bone prison with the force of her arms. This was the best method she could think of. She did not have the strength to lift the broadsword, so she could only choose this method to conserve some energy. However, the target she had chosen before starting was no longer a guarantee. Even so, a hint of approval flashed across Ji Feng’s eyes.
The broadsword did not hit the bone that Messalind had chosen, nor did the edge of the sword touch any of the bones either. While she was swinging her greatsword, the blade of the sword unconsciously flipped over. Although she knew it, she could not stop. Forcefully stopping would not only drain her energy, but if she were to try again, even if she still had strength, she wouldn’t be able to guarantee that the sword would cut down the selected bones. Thus, she decided to make a mistake. She gripped the broadsword tightly and allowed the broadsword to strike at the bone prison.
Although the direction of the sword had changed, the direction of the broadsword did not deviate too much from it. With a crisp sound, the force of the impact caused the broadsword to fall out of her hands. Just as she was about to pick up the greatsword and start over, there was a crashing sound as the bone prison collapsed on its own.
Ji Feng didn’t expect that the bone prison, which he had spent so much effort on, would be destroyed by a casual pat from Melinda. He didn’t examine the reason behind the broken bone prison, but turned to her and said, “Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he led Gloria deeper into the woods, with Melinda close behind him. Reginald and Asa, who had stayed behind, looked at each other.
They did not stand there foolishly and waited. After looking at each other, they quietly followed. In order not to be discovered, they deliberately increased the distance between them to the maximum. The biggest thing in the area was naturally the area that Ji Feng wouldn’t notice.
“Reginald, do you think she will kill her lord?”
“I don’t think so. He has no reason to do so. However, he will definitely make a move to make the lord lose his ability to fight.”
“Our punishment is certain. Earlier, if I hadn’t offered to help you, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“You also wanted to finish the mission as quickly as possible, who would have thought that you would be such an idiot.”
Reginald spoke the words of Asa, and so he nodded.
The monsoon didn’t head toward the main road, or the direction of the main road. Instead, it headed deeper into the woods. As they went deeper and deeper, more and more bushes and vines appeared, causing their speed to slow down.
Two minutes had passed, and Gloria’s spirit had been drained. Her eyes were ashen. Even if Ji Feng released her now, she wouldn’t be happy in the slightest. This was because she had already predicted what would happen to her. He could be considered lucky to have been refined into a puppet, but the most miserable thing was to be used as a material for his experiments.
Gloria’s worries about the future did not last long before she felt the sudden strength of Ji Feng’s hand on her neck. Following that, she heard the last sound in her life — a faint crackling sound.
The monsoon directly broke Gloria’s neck, then released her. Then he turned around and took hold of Melinda’s right wrist, and they walked deeper into the forest. Of course, he did not do nothing. He covered up the places he passed by. Of course, due to the relationship between time and camouflage, all the camouflage was very rough. His goal was not to be discovered, but to delay the pursuit as much as possible. He knew, of course, that Reginald and Asa would not actually wait there for five minutes.
“Where are we going?” she asked breathlessly, as soon as she saw them coming back.
“Let’s go back.”
“Go back?”
There’s a fortress at the exit, and there must be other troops chasing after them. It’s only safe to go back. Let’s go check out the manor, maybe there’s a teleportation array or something.” We are already certain that this is a stronghold of the Necromancers. Presumably, they used a small teleportation circle. As long as we can find the teleportation circle, they should be able to leave safely.
Melinda had not expected that Ji Feng would have this kind of plan. She was surprised that Ji Feng could remain so calm in this environment. She couldn’t help but think of the rumors in the imperial city that said he was a loser. At this time, if someone else were to say that Ji Feng was trash, she would be the first to jump out and refute.
Reginald and Asa arrived shortly after the monsoon broke Gloria’s neck. They immediately found Gloria’s body lying in the bushes. After confirming that she was dead, the two couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay. At this moment, they immediately recalled Ji Feng’s explanation about Gilbert’s death. From the looks of it, Gilbert’s attempt to attack Ji Feng after he gained his freedom did not lead to his death. Instead, Ji Feng killed him without any scruples.
Reginald and Asa immediately thought of their situation. Earlier, they had been feeling sorry for Karl and Deimos, and now they were worried about their fate.
After running for about a kilometer, he saw two paths formed by nature. He let go of her and pointed to the left side road. “Wait for me there. I’ll make some arrangements.”
Ji Feng quickly laid down some suspicious formations and made two messy footprints. Then, he retreated back to the fork in the road. He wiped off the footprints on the left side and entered the left side of the road.
At this time, the pus from the curse had already spread to his face, and his brows were filled with fatigue.
“Shall I treat you?”
Ji Feng shook his head and said, “No need, I can still hold on. We have to hurry. They will catch up very soon.”
As Ji Feng was speaking, he lifted his left hand and extended it towards Melinda. She put her right hand on his hand, and he held her tightly as they walked deeper into the fork in the road.
Not long after they left, Reginald appeared at the fork in the road. He and Asa had already divided the work. With a slightly higher cultivation base, he was in charge of chasing after Monsoon and Melinda, while Asa was in charge of bringing Gloria’s corpse back. Of course, Reginald put pressure on Asa for this division of labor. He was an Elementary Martial Saint, and Asa was an Advanced Warrior. Even though they could sense each other, there was only a small level between them. However, there was a qualitative difference. The span of this small grade was a huge grade. Thus, his strength was much higher than Biasa’s. Under this pressure, Asa had to give in and return with Gloria’s body. Asa was reluctant because returning meant that she might be punished immediately.
After walking for a short while, they realized that there was no more road ahead of them. The dense vines twisted together and blocked their path. Seeing that there were almost no gaps between the vines, Ji Feng regretted that he did not bring Reginald’s sword with him.
Ji Feng let go of Melinda’s hand and looked for a space with a slightly larger gap. He used all his strength to pry open the vines and discovered that they were not all that big, around ten meters in radius. However, he didn’t have any weapons, let alone any kind of sharp weapons like blades or swords. Thus, he could only change his direction. It was impossible to go back, so he could only go around the vines.
After choosing a direction, Ji Feng immediately started to clear the way. The direction he chose was not where there were no vines, but the vines were much thinner. Even so, Ji Feng still had to pull it apart to let the two of them pass.
Ji Feng knew that his plan could not confuse the pursuers for too long. Perhaps the pursuers had already discovered his plan and were now chasing in their direction. He had no choice but to muster his courage and use all his strength to push away the tree vines in front of him, allowing them to pass through. Fortunately, the area that the vines covered wasn’t big, so they quickly passed through the vines. After doing some camouflage, Ji Feng carried on running as fast as he could with Melinda. Even though it was called running, it wasn’t much faster than walking. It was because the two of them had expended too much energy.
