Wind Devouring The World - C134
“One hundred thirty-four, run.”
“Really?” Knowing that there was now hope for her to leave, Melinda’s face was immediately filled with surprise and joy.
“Of course it’s true. We have to leave now.”
“Will that person find out?”
Ji Feng shook his head, “It shouldn’t be. I’ve already done two missions for him and this time, he was injured. Moreover, we are not familiar with this place. He would never think that I would know the location of the teleportation formation.”
“According to common sense, places with teleportation arrays will be guarded by heavy soldiers.” said Messalind, not without concern.
“It’s fine, I’ve already asked around. There are only two Intermediate Warriors there. There shouldn’t be any problems.” Ji Feng did not mention that he had received a skeleton. He did not want to waste his time, so he believed that when a battle broke out in the future, she would definitely see it and it would not be too late to explain it.
Ji Feng opened the door half a step earlier. He stretched his head out and saw that there was no one in the corridor. Then, he ran towards the direction they had come from, dragging Melinda along with him. After walking into the corridor for a short while, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from the other side. The sound of footsteps came from around the bend. If they continued walking like this, they would definitely run into each other.
Knowing that their goal was too big, Ji Feng said softly, “Wait here. I will go and take care of him.”
After saying that, without waiting for her to nod in agreement, Ji Feng let go of her hand and walked towards the sound of footsteps. After five or six steps he turned and beckoned to her to follow. He then strode towards the corner of the corridor.
It was a Necromancer. He was shocked by the sudden appearance of Ji Feng. However, when he saw the ash-grey Mage Robe on Ji Feng’s body, he didn’t pay it any heed. Although they knew that someone had snuck in, no one knew the appearance of the person who snuck in. Furthermore, Ji Feng was wearing the ash-grey mage robe that Necromancers liked, so the person who came would subconsciously think that Ji Feng was one of their own.
After turning a corner, Ji Feng walked on the wall. Although his steps were not fast, each step was very big. The two of them crossed each other very quickly. At this moment, Ji Feng made his move. Although this Necromancer’s cultivation level wasn’t as high as the Necromancers that Ji Feng killed earlier, she wasn’t a low-level cultivator. However, he was not even able to withstand a single blow from Ji Feng’s close-combat skill. Ji Feng had broken his throat, and the whole process only lasted for a second. It was only when he was completely on the ground that Melinda turned around. When she saw the Necromancer lying in front of Ji Feng, she immediately sped up her footsteps.
When they arrived in front of the house, Melinda took a glance at the Necromancers on the ground and was pulled towards the house with many people hanging upside down by the monsoon. As long as they returned to the house, they would not be far from the ground. Thinking of the dangers they might encounter along the way, Ji Feng couldn’t help but quicken his pace, causing Melinda to have no choice but to try her best to keep up with him.
In the days that they had shared the hardships of the monsoon season, the amount of strenuous exercise that Messalind had done exceeded the combined amount of the previous ten or so years. The same is true of the dangers experienced. The past few days had been enough for her to recall her entire life, so it was impossible for her to forget it.
After getting rid of the Necromancer, Ji Feng and Melinda didn’t encounter anyone else. This was completely illogical. Previously, he and Melinda had been chased down. Presumably, the people here already knew that he was here, but no one came to stop them.
Ji Feng noticed the strangeness of the situation, but didn’t say anything. It was all for the sake of not putting pressure on Melinda. However, after having gone through so many things, he could now think for himself in a situation of critical danger and hunger. Although her subconscious was deeply dependent on Ji Feng, it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t use her brain.
So, she said, “Do you feel weird that we’re almost at the end of the nearly 100-meter corridor, and that we’ve just met a person? Could there be some sort of trap ahead? ”
“There is something wrong with Ocott’s character. He seems to be at odds with almost everyone. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so quickly and used you to coerce me to help him. Presumably, those people had already given him an excuse to move away. So, we have to move faster. ”
However, she could not think of the reason, so she shook her head slightly and said, “I hope so.”
Ji Feng knew that she was still worried, but he didn’t reveal it. While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the door that led to the many people hanging upside down. All along the way, Ji Feng had been very proud to be able to retrieve his dewdrop. Had it not been for that, he would have lost his way and been discovered.
Earlier, they had been taken into the magic tools by Ocott, and there was a long way to go. If it weren’t for the fact that the road had swallowed Vivian’s memory, he and Melinda would still be groping for it.
The monsoon motioned for Melinda to stand behind him, then gently pulled on the doorknob. As before, the door was not locked from the inside. The situation inside didn’t change much, but Ji Feng knew that the person hanging upside down had already changed a few times. With their method of collecting blood, who knew how many people would die?
Of course, this wasn’t something he was concerned about. He couldn’t care less about others. Besides, he wasn’t a compassionate person. He simply pulled her along the wall toward the opposite exit.
Monsoon’s guess was correct. To make things easier for him, most of the people here had been sent away by the Ocott branch. The reason was simple. There weren’t many rooms down there, but the fact that there were no signs of Ji Feng and Melinda only proved one thing, and that was that the two of them had escaped. Not down there at all.
Although none of the people here belonged to Ocott, he was, after all, the Grand Elder, and for the time being, the person in charge of this place. When the other elders came, his authority would soon be taken over. But before those people arrived, he was actually the leader here.
Although some of them suspected that Ocott had hidden them, Ocott was, after all, the Grand Elder of the House of Elders, and without any evidence, the mere suspicion of accusation would have disastrous consequences for them and the people standing behind them. Moreover, they did not believe that Ocott could do such a thing. This was something that could shake the foundations of Necromancers. As long as Ocott wasn’t brain-dead, he wouldn’t do such a thing. Therefore, they did not question Ocott’s words. Instead, it was because he had used his own life to guarantee everything in the room where the altar was located.
However, they were all wrong. All this while, Ocott had never been enthusiastic about the elder who had been taken advantage of. Furthermore, he was often mocked in secret by others. Putting aside his trusted aides, he had heard it several times. How could the Great Elder, who was only second to the Undead Emperor in name, endure such humiliation? Thus, he had been secretly preparing. However, none of his opponents were easy to deal with. As such, he had never found a chance.
Now that the opportunity had finally presented itself, he wouldn’t let it slip by so easily. Although he knew he was playing with fire, he had been holding it in for a long time, and he thought he could control it. He didn’t think that Ji Feng would be able to finish everyone off, even if he did. With Melinda’s life as a threat, he still had the confidence to control the monsoon.
Ocott did not think that the monsoon would actually work. His long-prepared plan was already out. In order for no one to get in his way, he had transferred all of his subordinates out.
Ocott stood on the altar for a while, watching the six puppets pour their blood into the vents and carefully inspect the ceremony going on. He didn’t find anything wrong with it, so his heart was at ease. Although he was confident in his ability, he had to face the consequences of failing the experiment. Even if it turned out that the failure of the experiment had nothing to do with him, he would still be considered the best target because he was responsible for the matter in advance. Although Ocott was not very popular, there was nothing wrong with his mind. At the Elder’s Courtyard meeting, when someone had asked him to bring the security guards over, he already knew what his opponent was thinking about. Hence, in his heart, besides hatred, there was also hatred. This was why he was cooperating with Ji Feng.
After a detailed examination, Ocott was certain that there were no problems with the plan until now, and his tensed heart relaxed a little. Remembering that the monsoon and Melinda were still in his room, he stepped down from the altar.
He was a little curious when he saw that the store was empty. However, the strange look on his face didn’t last long before it was replaced by a look of astonishment. He actually did not sense the existence of Ji Feng and Melinda.
Pushing the door open, he knew that something bad had happened. He wanted to call for people, but almost all of them had been called out by him. What if he was out day and night, searching for Ji Feng and Melinda? However, if he were to scream, someone would definitely come. However, he did not do so. He believed that the monsoon and Melinda would not run far at all. Moreover, he had long since prepared a backup plan.
Soon enough, Ji Feng and Melinda arrived at the door. He subconsciously grabbed the handle to pull the door open, only to discover that the door was locked from the outside.
Looking at the wooden door, Ji Feng immediately had an idea. He pulled Melinda two steps back and five small fireballs flew towards the wooden door. The wooden door immediately burst into flames.
When they saw this scene, Ji Feng and Melinda heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately it’s a wooden door. If it was a metal door, we would be finished.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned. She saw that the burning wooden door was only a shell, and as she looked at the black smoke coming out from it, what was revealed was a black metal door. She and Ji Feng couldn’t help but look at each other. Although Ji Feng’s instantaneous fireball technique was strong enough, the temperature of the fireball he released was not enough to melt the metal door.
Although he knew what the result would be, he still wanted to give it a try. At this moment, what he regretted the most was not taking the greatsword with him. As a result, he was unarmed. If not, it would be a good choice to use the broadsword to break open the door. However, it was too late to say anything now. He could only burn the door with the help of the fireball to melt the lock.
Just as he was about to do so, his expression couldn’t help but turn unsightly. He was running out of spirit energy, so he couldn’t bear the torment any longer. Without the support of his spiritual force, not to mention instantly casting fireballs, even if he chanted an incantation, he wouldn’t be able to cast a fireball.
Melinda immediately realized that the monsoon was abnormal, and could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, are you alright?”
Not wanting to worry Melinda, Monsoon immediately shook his head and said, “It’s fine, I’m thinking about how to open the door.”
As Ji Feng spoke, he revealed a thoughtful expression. To her, the monsoon had already reached the point of blind worship. She didn’t think that Ji Feng would fail at all.
The monsoon had served his purpose of comforting Melinda, but he had no way to open the gate since he was short of things. Although he had the storage ring, he didn’t prepare many things before leaving. It was full of food and clothing, but even these things were almost finished. Just because of this, he had already regretted it several times.
Ji Feng, who had never thought of waiting for death, could only try to channel his mental energy. After slightly touching it, he felt a wave of cold mental energy suddenly appear in his sea of consciousness from the soul pearl.
Just then, Ocott’s voice came from behind them. “Keep running? Why aren’t you running anymore? “
