Wind Devouring The World - C78
The monsoon, groping about in the dark, did not know where Melinda had been taken. He only hoped that the old man, Komarr, would not attack her now. It was because of this worry that the monsoon had to speed up. He had groped his way through the darkness for more than ten minutes. Although he had yet to find the door, he did not encounter any obstructions or dangers.
Ji Feng could not think of any room that was so big, to the point that he could not go around it for more than ten minutes. Not long after this thought appeared in his mind, he saw a faint ray of light. He rubbed his eyes to make sure the light wasn’t a hallucination, then picked up speed.
As the distance between them shortened, he could also see the source of the light. Shockingly, there was another staircase leading downwards, and the light was coming from the magic lamp aimed at the walls of the staircase. There was only one magic lamp here, and it was very small. However, Ji Feng did not think that it was small. When he saw the magic lamp, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. Apart from some abnormal things, most humans would feel a sense of security when they saw the light.
Standing under the magical light, Ji Feng realized that there was no light anywhere else in his line of sight. Looking down into the darkness, Ji Feng only hesitated for a moment before he continued down the stairs. The staircase here was different from the one just now. It was meant for humans. The handrail on the right side of the stairs was only half a man’s height, and his right hand was resting on it. Although there was no light, due to the existence of the handrail, his speed and movements were almost unaffected.
This staircase was clearly different from the previous one. This staircase was more like a staircase, and he only had to turn a corner before the weak light from the magic lamp was blocked. His speed couldn’t help but slow down, and he could only use the handrail on his right hand to keep going down.
Although the stairs weren’t straight down, but Ji Feng had counted twenty-eight turns and still hadn’t reached the ground.
This result made Ji Feng realize that he might have taken the wrong path. Despite having thought of this possibility, Ji Feng did not plan to turn back. This was because he knew that even if he went back now, he might not be able to find the person who was taken away, Melinda. It had been so long that Komarr must have hidden her. He would go down from here and see if he could find his way out, and then turn back to the front door. Although he couldn’t find anyone to help him out, behind the villa was the forest. He could absolutely find something that could be used as a weapon.
Ji Feng was not a hesitant person. Furthermore, the more dangerous the situation was, the shorter the time for him to make a decision. For example, right now, he didn’t even have the slightest bit of hesitation.
As time went on, the number of stairs that the monsoon counted kept increasing. When he reached two hundred, Ji Feng gave up counting because he didn’t have any signs of stopping at all. Even so, he had no intention of turning back. However, his right hand first felt a scorching pain from being grinded, and eventually it became even more numb, so much so that his right hand could only rest on the armrest.
In a room with a dark purple theme, Ser Komarr was sitting on a long sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand. From time to time he would take a sip, and on the coffee table in front of him was a crystal ball the size of a soccer ball. His eyes were fixed on the crystal ball. A blurry image appeared on the crystal ball. The content of the image was surprisingly similar to the monsoon which was moving up and down the stairs. Staring at the plane on the screen, Kuma’s expression did not change at all. Even if there were people here, they would not be able to see what he was thinking or thinking about.
At that moment, the door to the room was gently pushed open. Komarr looked up, and his eyes fell back to the crystal ball.
The one who pushed the door open was the fox woman who those people called their mother. She walked up to Kuma and sat down beside him. Her red tail coiled around her thighs, covering her lower body.
Her eyes were also attracted by the scene in the crystal ball. She stared at it for a moment, then said softly, “Sir, he is walking towards that place. Should I do something to that woman?”
Kuma seemed not to hear, his gaze was still fixed on the crystal ball, but the fox girl did not dare to urge him on. Her gaze was constantly scanning the crystal ball and Kuma’s face.
The sounds created by the fox girl’s entrance immediately quieted down. The fox girl was obviously unable to adapt to this kind of silence, and her eyes constantly swiveled.
About five minutes later, Kuma placed the red wine in his hand to his lips and took a sip. He then turned around to look at the fox girl.
“I’ve already handed the person over to you. You can do whatever you want, no need to ask me.” At this point, Komarr changed the subject. “This guy called Bonan seems to have the ability to threaten you and me. Ah Wu’s arm is missing a bit because of him.”
“If he really gets there, won’t he never be able to leave?” The fox girl said with worry.
“If he’s not dead, I’ll go and get him back. He’s a very interesting person, and I intend to make him my assistant.”
“I know what to do.” The fox girl’s eyes flashed with understanding. The way she looked at Kuma was exactly the same as the way the big dog and the others looked at her. All of them were respectful.
“Mom, I’ve told you so many times, you don’t have to be so careful.”
“I truly respect you.”
Upon hearing her words, Kumagu’s calm face immediately softened and became a bit more lively.
Seeing the look on Kuma’s face, the fox girl became even more respectful.
Satisfied with her reaction, Kuma nodded and said, “Yes, not forgotten because of what I said.”
As Kuma spoke, he took a gulp of the red wine in his hand and placed the crystal cup on the tea table. He glanced at the monsoon in the crystal ball and then slowly stood up.
She took a few steps toward the wall behind the coffee table, which was covered with deep purple curtains. When she reached it, she reached out and pulled open the curtains. Inside, there was a door, which was also a deep purple. She pushed the door open, then stepped aside and waited for Kumar. At this moment, her eyes were full of passion.
