Wind Devouring The World - C99

It was raining. The sound was the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves. At the same time, she also noticed the droplets of rain that fell from the lush foliage.

Knowing the purpose of the slap, she asked at once, “Bonan, what should we do?”

“We can’t wait for daybreak. If the rain continues to increase, we won’t be able to do anything here.”

“Without light, how are we going to determine the direction?” Because of the rain, the two moons were obscured by dark clouds.

“Let’s head in the direction we determined earlier and see if there’s any place we can hide from the rain along the way.”

Besides, even though she hadn’t been with the monsoon for long, she had developed the habit of relying on it.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even though the trees around them were covered in leaves, the rain had soaked the leaves and leaves and was beginning to seep through them. Rain also started to fall from the leaves, and soon, the thick layer of leaves on the ground became wet.

During the day, they wouldn’t be able to move as fast as a single step even when they were faced with a thick layer of dead leaves. Now, with the rain soaking them, it was harder to walk. It was as if they were walking in a swamp. The zhen qi that he had accumulated over the past few hours was being rapidly depleted. The frail Melinda was unable to move, and the monsoon had to pull her forward. Even so, their speed was getting slower and slower.

It was at this moment that the monsoon suddenly stopped. Just as Mayslyn was puzzled, he said, “I’ll carry you.”

“No need, I can walk by myself.”

“Hurry up.” Ji Feng’s voice was unquestionable. At the same time, he squatted in front of Melinda.

After hesitating for a moment, she leaned on the back of Ji Feng and hugged his neck. The monsoon had both hands on the back of her head. Melinda’s body stiffened for a moment, and then returned to normal. This was the first time that Melinda had come into such close contact with a man. Feeling the strong masculine aura from Ji Feng’s body, her heartbeat quickened for no reason. Especially when her chest was pressed tightly against Ji Feng’s back, she felt an inexplicable sense of excitement. However, her attention was quickly diverted to her surroundings. There were no longer any ripples.

The monsoon did not know about the mental activities of Melinda. His attention was entirely focused on the shadows in front of him, because these shadows were tall trees that pierced the clouds. If he wasn’t paying attention, he would directly crash into it.

As the saying goes, only when there is warmth would one feel the desire. Right now, they were in a very sorry state. Under such circumstances, they couldn’t possibly have any other thoughts at all.

Due to the rain, the bugs that they had encountered before had stopped moving. Even if the wind had stepped on them, they did not retaliate. Instead, they let the wind leave.

As the rain continued to fall, Ji Feng’s hands could no longer hold on to the pink buttocks of Melinda. Although her arms were tightly wrapped around Ji Feng’s neck, her strength was limited. In addition to her falling body, she had almost slipped several times. To this end, the monsoon had to stop and take the opportunity to drag Melinda up a little.

The rain had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Because the leaves and branches had already been soaked by the rain, there was no longer any rain left. As a result, the rain between the trees was even more hurried. The dead leaves on the ground had long since rotted away. Ji Feng’s feet left footprints on the ground. As soon as his feet left the ground, a pungent smell of rot wafted through the air.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ji Feng, who had lost all his energy, had no choice but to stop and take deep breaths as he looked at the huge trees that were still densely packed in front of him.

Seeing her heartache, Melinda whispered into Ji Feng’s ear, “Let me down, I’ll walk by myself.”

“It’s nothing. I’ll be taking a rest first.” As the monsoon spoke, he crouched down and loosened his grip on the pink buttocks.

Without saying anything, Melinda immediately cast three healing spells on Ji Feng.

Ji Feng didn’t care about the muddy leaves on the ground. He sat cross-legged on the ground, and then said to Melinda, “I’m going to recover a bit. You can probably call for me in about an hour.”

“Yes.” Melinda nodded heavily.

Ji Feng no longer spoke and directly entered into the cultivation state of the Nameless Art. He once again discovered that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was like a flood that entered his body. His depleted zhenqi rapidly increased. The state of exhaustion was changing.

At this moment, the pustules on every part of Ji Feng’s body had already become inflamed. If it was a normal day, just this would be enough for him to eat a pot. But now, he had completely ignored it.

At this moment, the usually clean Melinda also sat down by the side of the monsoon, she had already adapted to her surroundings. Because of the light, she was not far from the monsoon, only half a step away. She wanted to look at the monsoon, but she couldn’t see anything but darkness. Still, her face was looking in the direction of the monsoon. She did not realize that her eyes were filled with tenderness.

About an hour later, Melinda stretched out her hand and patted the monsoon. The monsoon opened his eyes, stood up and stretched his body, then squatted down and said to Melinda, “Melinda, come up.”

“I’ll go by myself.”

The wind did not even give her a chance to refuse. She stood up, walked to the front of the tree, turned around and squatted, and used her hands to pull the pink buttocks of the tree up, then walked with large strides to the gap between the trees. She had no choice but to put her arms around his neck.

Their clothes had long since been drenched, and they were covered in rotten leaves and smelly mud. Therefore, Ji Feng’s hands could not hold on to the body of Melinda, although she was not that heavy. If it were not for her tightly holding on to his neck, she would have already fallen down long ago.

Since Ji Feng’s body was covered with pus and sores, the harsh environment only made things worse for him. He ignored the wounds on his body, but he couldn’t ignore the enormous consumption of his physical strength. Even though his Nameless Art circulated unceasingly and the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth endlessly entered his body, the amount of true energy produced was not enough to sustain his consumption.

The reason why he had to carry her on his back was because she didn’t seem to care for the fairer sex. It was because she walked too slowly, even though she didn’t complain.

Ji Feng’s legs had become a mechanical movement, so much so that he couldn’t even sense their presence. Relying on the faint shadow in front of him, he was able to determine his position. His legs were subconsciously moving in that direction.

Lying on Ji Feng’s back with her arms around his neck, Melinda knew what was happening to Ji Feng. Therefore, she didn’t say a word, only recovering her spiritual power and occasionally casting a healing spell on Ji Feng. Although her healing skill could not restore Ji Feng to full health, it could still boost his spirit.

Just like this, after an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the dusky light in front of them. Ji Feng already knew from Geng Dan that this forest was in a banded shape. He immediately understood that they were finally going to leave the forest. Since his target was right in front of him, his spirit was drained. As a former soldier of the special forces, he naturally knew of his current situation. He knew that he couldn’t stop here. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to leave the forest for a short period of time. Thus, he clenched his teeth and took a step forward. Because of the light, his speed had increased a lot.

Melinda, who had been silently recovering her spiritual power, noticed that Ji Feng’s speed had suddenly increased. She immediately opened her eyes and shockingly saw the light in front of her. Immediately, her spirit was lifted.

At the same time, he shouted in excitement, “Bonan, we are going out of the forest!”

Ji Feng held his breath and did not say anything. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would be discouraged and would not have the strength to continue.

At this time, the rain had lessened. Since it was a cloudy day, the two of them did not know what time it was. Only from the light ahead, it was clear that dawn had arrived.

Half an hour later, they finally left the forest. However, they weren’t excited at all, because they discovered that there was an unfathomable cliff about twenty meters away from the forest. Ji Feng immediately knew that he had walked in the wrong direction in the rain. Geng Dan had pointed him in the right direction and told him that there was another grassland on the other side of the forest, where humans could be seen.

Due to the cliff, neither Ji Feng nor Melinda had the excitement that they should have had when they walked out of the forest. Their faces were filled with confusion towards the road ahead. Because of the curse, the longer they stayed, the more severe the pain Ji Feng would suffer.

The only thing that made them feel better was that the rain had stopped. Looking at the blank face of Melinda, Ji Feng said, “First, change your clothes.”

Only then did Melinda remember that not only were their clothes drenched, they were also stained, and their original color could no longer be seen.

When Melinda came out of the forest and saw that Ji Feng was still wearing the same clothes, she immediately asked, “Why don’t you change your clothes?”

“I have no clothes.”

From the ring, Melinda took out a black mage robe and passed it to Ji Feng. “You should wear this mage robe if you want.”

Ji Feng did not act pretentious. He took the mage robe and started walking towards the forest.

After entering the forest, Ji Feng didn’t immediately change his clothes. Instead, he raised his left hand towards the ring on his ring finger and asked, “Geng Dan, why is it like this?”

However, he’d waited a long time and hadn’t heard Geng Dan’s answer. Thus, he repeated himself, but it was still silent.
