Wind Devouring The World - C121
A total of six people came in, all expressionless, carrying barrel-shaped containers in their hands. They walked towards those who were hanging upside down, changed their buckets, and went back inside.
Since he was temporarily unable to use the spirit energy inside the soul orb, he could only use that bit of spirit energy to save as much energy as possible. As such, when the door was pushed open, he held the greatsword in his hand, and Melinda followed behind him. Seeing that the people who came in completely ignored them, Ji Feng naturally did not intend to take the initiative.
Based on what they saw, the two of them immediately knew that there was a problem with the six of them. There was a high chance that they were mindless puppets. He watched as the last person left through the door and closed it behind him. Ji Feng decisively walked towards the door. Despite knowing that the six men might be puppets, Ji Feng did not let his guard down. When he reached the door, he gestured for Melinda to stand far away. He held his greatsword in one hand and pulled at the door handle with the other.
Without much effort, the door opened into a corridor. The footsteps of the six people in front could still be heard echoing in the corridor. However, he did not see them. He didn’t notice a fork in the corridor and decided at once that there must be a flight of stairs leading down.
The monsoon glanced back at Melinda, and she immediately understood, passing through the monsoon and leading the way to the door. Ji Feng shut the door behind her, only to find that there was no door latch. Putting away his greatsword, he pulled Melinda along as he quickly walked towards the depths of the corridor. It was not because he did not want to hold the greatsword, but because the greatsword was truly too heavy. The current monsoon was not enough to carry around.
Just as Ji Feng had guessed, they had not gone far when a flight of stairs descended appeared before them. Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Feng brought Melinda down.
At the same time, the five people they had met in the house earlier also entered the room. They were the ones in charge of the defense here, not Ocott’s men. He belonged to a different clan, and had only come with Ocott to earn some merit. When the plan reached the next stage, almost all of the Elders of the Elders Guild would come over. At that time, as the first to arrive, they would naturally be heavily valued. There was no need to talk about choosing items in the warehouse, even their status in the organization would go up by leaps and bounds.
The organization had great confidence in this plan, which had been prepared over the years, and the core part was in Ocott’s charge. This was the result of the meeting held by the Elders. If this plan fails, Ocott, who is in charge of the core, will be the natural scapegoat. If it was a success, everyone contributed a bit.
Today, such a big loophole exists in the security aspects that are thought to be out of the question. It had a great impact on their plans to reap the credit. As a result, they sent most of their men out. In this way, they would have to undertake the patrolling duties of the manor themselves. They actually encountered it.
They already knew that these two people were the ones who had killed Gilbert, Gloria, and Hymin. They had sent a large number of people to hunt them down, but the other party had actually come all the way here. At least half of the people here would be severely punished if the two of them disrupted the ongoing plan to make a god.
The five men’s expressions became even more unsightly as they looked at the man hanging in front of them. Previously, he had thought that he wouldn’t be able to destroy it, but now he realized that he wouldn’t be able to enter at all. In the end, he could only decide to smash open the door. Time was wasted. Of course, they knew where this place led to. If, because of them, Ji Feng and Melinda entered the altar, even the powerful people behind them would not be able to protect them.
Because of this, their movements could not help but speed up. Since there was only one path, they were not worried about the escape of the monsoon and Melinda. When they arrived at the staircase in succession and were still unable to find their target, their faces turned even more unsightly. However, when they thought of the illusory Great Elder standing guard there, they felt slightly more at ease. Although Ocott’s cultivation wasn’t the highest in the Elder’s Hall, he was still a Grand Necromancer.
The staircase was only about a hundred steps or so, and they quickly reached the bottom, only to discover that they had already lost six people. Furthermore, he discovered that there was no path down there. After going down the stairs, they only had about 10 square meters of space. Besides the stairs behind them, the other three sides were smooth walls.
The monsoon took it for granted that it was an illusion, and immediately groped around the wall, knocking on it. The thick sound indicated that it was all real. Not giving up, he used the same method to check the ground, and the result was the same.
Seeing the look on Ji Feng’s face, Melinda was extremely anxious. However, she did not say anything, as she did not want to disturb Ji Feng’s thoughts.
Just when Ji Feng was about to give up and return from the same path to fight those five men to the death, he suddenly heard a sinister voice, “If you want to survive, come here.”
The startled Ji Feng and Melinda immediately turned their heads towards the source of the voice. They saw a small door on the left that could only fit one person. The door was open and they couldn’t see anything clearly. However, both of them were sure that the voice came from the inside.
Melinda turned her head to look at Ji Feng, and Ji Feng obviously knew what she meant. He immediately said, “We won’t get any good results. Let’s go in and take a look.”
As Ji Feng spoke, he gave the God of the Left to Melinda, who immediately stretched out her right hand and held it tightly. After entering the door, the two of them looked back almost at the same time, only to discover that the door no longer existed, and it had been replaced by the original wall. The two of them did not feel that this was strange at all. They were all experienced and knowledgeable people so they naturally knew that there was a mechanism here.
He didn’t have to worry about the people behind him for now. He looked around and found that it was actually a cell. On one side of the three walls was a fine iron fence. The cell was not big, only about seven or eight square meters in area. There was a corridor outside the iron fence, but they could not see where it led. With the thought of solving the problem, Ji Feng did not use his spiritual power to check. In reality, he also knew that even if the soul orb hadn’t gone through some changes, his mind energy wouldn’t have been able to clearly investigate this place.
“Who are you? What is your purpose? ” Ji Feng said loudly.
“You don’t need to know who I am. I want you to do something for me. As compensation, I will grant you freedom afterwards.” The sinister voice resounded once more.
“How do I know you won’t break your promise?”
“This is your only chance. You have no choice.”
“What if I don’t agree?”
“Your woman is so beautiful. Surely you don’t want to see her become a puppet whose soul will never be free?”
“Okay, what do you want me to do?”
The reason why Ji Feng asked this was because he wanted to find out some information from the old man. However, the old man did not give him the chance. The moment he came up was a threat.
“Killing.”
“Murder?”
“That’s right.”
“According to my guess, you should be a Necromancer, right? Besides us, there shouldn’t be anyone else here right? You’re not asking me to go out and kill people, are you? ”
“Of course I’m not asking you to go out and kill people. I can’t guarantee that you will come back after you leave this place.”
“That depends on who it is. If she’s here, I’ll definitely come back.” said Monsoon without hesitation.
“Good. After this is done, I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself. Hehe …”
Although Ji Feng was speaking the truth, he was secretly complaining to himself. The other party was clearly not one of the three Necromancers he had encountered. Not only did he not get any information from the other party’s mouth, he even had other thoughts. However, this was still the enemy’s base. He wasn’t naive enough to think that the other party would keep his word. However, since he was able to leave the cell, he might be able to find an opportunity.
Ji Feng didn’t want to continue the topic he just talked about, so he asked, “When do we start?”
“Start right now. After you leave, head towards the left. You’ll see me soon. I’ll give you the relevant information.”
Just as Ji Feng was about to ask how he was going to get out, four of the iron bars on the fence suddenly disappeared, leaving just enough space for one person to get through.
