Wind Devouring The World - C126

The movement of the skeleton made Ji Feng very nervous. Looking at the skeleton that was constantly shaking, all Ji Feng could do was to place his right hand close to the door of the skeleton’s fontanel and absorb the spiritual power as much as possible. When he let out a breath of relief, the skeleton only shook violently, but did not move any further.

The whirlpool of suction force from the soul orb had been increasing along with the energy absorption. Ji Feng thought that it must be because of the replenishment of the energy. Whether or not it was actually like this, he would only know after he gained a deeper understanding of the soul orbs.

Five minutes later, Ji Feng discovered that the spirit energy that originally belonged to the skeleton did not seem to have been absorbed by him. Instead, it seemed to have flowed into his body and became a tonic for his soul orbs.

Ji Feng didn’t think about the effect that the cold attribute spiritual energy would have on the Soul Pearl after the Soul Pearl absorbed so much, because he didn’t have any other ways to replenish it.

Another five minutes passed. The six golems had already emptied their buckets of blood. They closed the lid and carried the buckets down from the altar. Then, as if they had just entered, they left in neat formation. Initially, Ji Feng was worried that someone would take the opportunity to come in when they opened the door, or that someone outside would find out what he was doing. In the end, nothing happened, causing him to be shocked for a moment.

Twenty minutes later, due to the skull having too much spiritual power, the absorption speed of the soul orb’s whirlpool had reached an unprecedented rate. The amount of spiritual energy entering his body had already pushed his meridians to their maximum capacity. He even suspected that the suction force of the whirlpool might have been even greater if it hadn’t been for the meridian restriction.

The skeleton was still trembling. However, its shaking speed did not increase. Instead, it maintained the same speed as it did during the first five minutes. This made Ji Feng, who was worried that the skeleton would undergo an even more drastic change, feel much more at ease.

At this moment, Ji Feng had a feeling that he had already replenished the spiritual power that he had expended earlier. He even had the illusion that the soul orb was growing bigger. However, the amount of spiritual power required to increase the soul orbs was enormous. When he was at the Beverly Hills, he had absorbed more than half of Geng Dan’s soul and spirit energy, as well as the souls of several hundred people.

Ji Feng also knew that if he could absorb all the spiritual energy in this skull, the size of his soul orb would definitely increase exponentially. However, he knew that he might not have that much time. Half an hour had passed, and it appeared that Ocott’s struggle with the men was over. Even if it wasn’t over yet, he believed that it would be soon. There was very little time left for him. Due to the limitations of his meridians, he could clearly feel that the suction force of the whirlpool had reached its maximum and there were no signs of it increasing anymore.

Although the spiritual energy in the skull was very tempting, but Ji Feng knew he could not recklessly absorb it. Otherwise, not to mention Melinda, there was no possibility for him to leave. Thus, he decided to absorb another five minutes. After five minutes, he would immediately stop.

If Ocott returned within five minutes, he would have to find an opportunity to fight him. Even though he had little chance of victory, and Melinda was still in his hands.

The monsoon was lucky. Five long minutes had passed, but Ocott did not appear. Nevertheless, Monsoon took his right hand away.

Then, Ji Feng ran towards the edge of the altar. Before he could reach the edge, he had already jumped down. When his feet touched the ground, he immediately used his momentum to take three large steps forward. After stabilizing himself, he quickly headed to the back of the door. When he reached the place where he had previously stood, his heart was finally at ease. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

After doing all this, seeing that Ocott hadn’t appeared yet, Monsoon calmly began to inspect his soul orbs. With a thought, the situation inside the soul orb appeared in his mind. He was immediately shocked to find that the soul orb was gray and he couldn’t see anything clearly.

He guessed that this situation had a lot to do with the pale white spiritual force he had just absorbed. It was more likely that the spiritual force he had converted was impure. Of course, these were all the guesses of Ji Feng. Even if it was the truth, it was of no use to him. Thus, he gave up on the intention of investigating. Since something similar had happened before, he knew that it wouldn’t be long before the soul orb regained its original order. However, he temporarily couldn’t use his spiritual force. I hope that Ocott will not arrange a second operation for him in the near future.

Just as he was thinking about this, Ji Feng heard the door open and immediately turned around. He immediately saw Ocott push open the door and enter. He tried to read something in Ocott’s face, but he was disappointed. Ocott, who had already cultivated his own body to a skeleton, didn’t show any emotion on his face at all. Even the blue flames in his eyes didn’t fluctuate in the slightest.

Ocott, on the other hand, was pleased to see Ji Feng still standing at the door. If he knew that Ji Feng just came down from the altar, he wouldn’t feel this way from the bottom of his heart. He would definitely go berserk and kill Ji Feng immediately. It could only be said that Ji Feng’s luck was not bad. After being cursed, he had been wandering around the edge of death. However, he managed to escape danger time and time again. It was the same this time.

“They’re all gone?” Ji Feng asked.

Ocott nodded noncommittally but said nothing.

Just as Monsoon was about to ask something else, Ocott suddenly said, “You can cast a Fireball Technique instantaneously?”

“Yes.”

Ji Feng knew that the other party had already investigated the scene. If he were to lie, it would attract the suspicion of the other party. However, he immediately thought of a problem.

So he asked, “Are there any surveillance magic devices here?”

“There is one outside the manor, but not inside.”

Although Ocott’s explanation was simple, Monsoon could hear something useful from it. He had just thought that such a thing existed in this world. If there were others here, the things he did on the altar would be known very soon.

Therefore, before he asked this question, he had already secretly made preparations for battle. His preparation, of course, was to rush up to Ocott and use his fists and feet to attack him. Since Ocott was a necromancer, he, like most magicians, was afraid of close quarters combat. At this moment, he somewhat regretted that he hadn’t pulled out the greatsword that had stabbed into his body when he had left earlier. In that case, he would have a weapon to attack.

As a result, he was able to hear the words of the manor that had no monitoring magic device. He secretly felt relieved. He didn’t want to fight Ocott unless he had to. As someone who had experienced hundreds of battles on Earth, his instincts told him that the difference between himself and Ocott was too big.

Of course, Ji Feng would not foolishly ask why there was no monitoring magic device here. Instead, he said, “The previous battle had consumed too much of my energy. I would need about two to three more hours to recover. Can you not assign me a mission during this time? ”

When Ji Feng spoke, he immediately looked into Ocott’s eyes. Even though Ocott’s eyes were as missing as the flesh and skin on the surface and between the bones. But Ji Feng continued to stare into his opponent’s eyes. As he had guessed, the blue flame in Ocott’s eye sockets flickered imperceptibly for a moment, and then returned to its dead form.

Then Ocott said in his characteristic creaking voice, “That room is where I should rest. You should go and rest. I’ll inform you when we move out.”

“Thank you. I will do my best.” Ji Feng immediately expressed his gratitude.

Ji Tian Tian didn’t seem to care about Ji Feng’s thanks. He turned around and walked towards the altar. Seeing him walk towards the altar, Ji Feng could not help but become nervous. He was nervous because he was afraid that Ocott would notice something. If the skeleton was still trembling, Ocott would definitely suspect something. Therefore, he immediately made the decision to leave, lest Ocott detect anything in his mood fluctuations.

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Feng closed the door gently and sat down in the only chair. After worrying about it for a few seconds, he decided to throw away all the negative emotions and get ready for battle. Once Ocott returned here to question him, he would find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Ocott was not sure that the changes on the altar had anything to do with him, so he was not very wary of him. His chances of success were still high.

In fact, Ji’s fears were not without reason. At this moment, standing on the altar, staring at the skeleton in the rectangular groove, Ocott vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he could not find what was wrong. If Ji Feng was here, he would have been delighted to discover that the trembling skeleton had already stopped moving. He was just like before, quietly lying in the groove. The fresh blood in the groove was still flowing into the groove at a steady rate, being absorbed by the skeleton. The energy from the magical formation constantly entered the skull. It was for this reason that although Ocott sensed that something was wrong, he could not find out what was wrong. He could only attribute this to his misconception.

Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Ocott’s eyes gradually left the skeleton’s body. He was in a very good mood, and because of Sidrik’s death, the remaining four people immediately lost their backbone. One after the other, they expressed their intention to follow the lead of others. He agreed on the surface, but his heart was full of disdain. What had he been doing for a long time? With his backbone gone, he was just thinking of giving in temporarily. How could there be such a good thing?

Earlier on, he had no time to think about the success of the battle with Ji Feng because he had been playing along with the four of them. Now that he was the only one left, he couldn’t help but think of the scene from before. He did not expect that Ji Feng, a low-level cultivator, would be able to instantly cast magic. This was completely illogical. Just now, he had carefully examined Ji Feng’s cultivation. He realized that there was no possibility of him hiding.

Because he could not sense the existence of the soul orb, he only saw the original Ji Feng’s Spirit power. It was just as Ji Feng had said, after a battle, the consumption of Spirit Power was great. The reason why he agreed so straightforwardly was because he wanted to use Ji Feng to get rid of the other four eyesore fellows. At that time, he would come out and control Ji Feng. When the God Creation Plan reached the next stage, when all the upper echelons of the organization would arrive, he would hand Ji Feng over to them. No one could say anything, even if they had some guesses in their hearts, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Presumably, without their powerful subordinates, if they wanted to be as arrogant as before, they would have to carefully consider it.

Now, if the monsoon were here, you would see the ghostly blue fire flickering in Ocott’s eyes.

The monsoon waited for a long time, but could not come to Ocott. Before Ocott could find anything, his heart began to ease. He examined the soul orb and discovered that the inside of the orb was still gray. Thus, he started cultivating the nameless art. Without the consumption from the curse, a bit of true energy had already gathered in his meridians and dantian. This zhenqi was the foundation of his next battle.

It was clear that Ocott did not want to wait long. When the two hours were up, he opened the door on time.
