Chapter 712: What Are You Trying To Do
The crack between the two mountains was actually known as the Sinister Wind Den, and it was a sort of air vent and an opening to another space. From the crack, boundless chilly wind blew out. The wind contained dense wind energy, with a trace of yin vicious energy mixed within that gave it a corrosive attribute. That was why the wind was so hard to withstand.
Many beastmen and demonic beasts were heading toward the crack; the scene was bustling and spectacular. Suddenly, a massive silhouette appeared from the crack between the two mountains. The silhouette looked like the face of a devil, looking sinister and terrifying.
The devil face opened its mouth wide, and with one bite, it swallowed the approaching beastmen and demonic beasts. Xiang Shaoyun's body went stiff. Before he could think of anything else, he found that an extremely powerful wind force was pulling and dragging him directly toward the massive mouth.
It frightened Xiang Shaoyun greatly. He quickly mustered all his strength to stabilize himself, avoiding the fate of being swallowed. Fortunately, he was quite far from the mouth, so the wind force pulling him wasn't too powerful. He was able to stabilize himself after putting all his effort into it, and the wind force did not drag him away.
The devil face vanished as fast as it had come. By the time it was gone, the tide of beastmen and demonic beasts was completely gone as well. Xiang Shaoyun blankly looked at the scene before him and broke out in cold sweat. This was definitely an extremely dangerous place.
He could not understand why the beastmen and demonic beasts were heading toward the crack, and he couldn't understand where the devil face had come from either. But he concluded that he definitely couldn't enter the crack, or it would be a one-way trip.
Xiang Shaoyun also noticed that when the devil face vanished, the concealed Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples started rushing toward the two mountains beside the Sinister Wind Den.
He hesitated for a bit before doing the same, trying to see what they had discovered. Although the devil face had vanished, the wind blowing out of the Sinister Wind Den was still as scary as ever.
Xiang Shaoyun was forced to constantly circulate his wind energy and fuse it with the power of wind around him. He was trying to both grow his power of wind and adapt his body to his environment as quickly as possible. Shortly after, he arrived at the mountain on the right side along with the disciples.
He overheard one of them saying, "I thought yin wind grass could be found here? But why is there nothing at all?"
Someone replied, "Let's search carefully. This place is the nearest to the Sinister Wind Den. It is struck by the yin wind all year round, so yin wind grass should be a regular vegetation here."
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun knew what they were looking for. He quickly rushed toward the mountain peak. But there, he found that the mountain was basically bald, with not even a regular grass to be found. He quickly went to the left mountain, but he found nothing there either.
Looks like there's some problem with their information. Or perhaps someone else has already harvested all the yin wind grass, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
He was about to leave when something happened in the sky again. The devil face appeared again, and a wind force surged out like before. This time, the wind did not pull him in. Rather, it spat things out. Drops of blood rained down from the devil face's mouth, presenting a terrifying scene.
Greatly shocked, Xiang Shaoyun fled without hesitation. He could swear this was the fastest he had ever fled in his life. The power of wind, footwork intent, and footwork technique, all were used at their top power.
But even that was not enough, as the wind force this time was a tailwind that came extremely quickly. Like rootless duckweed, he was blown away by the wind and was sent flying in an unknown direction.
His vision spun, and he lost his directional senses. To make matters worse, a gush of yin vicious energy seeped into his body and started damaging his vitality. In his current condition, he had no way of resisting the invasion. Hence, he could only endure helplessly. After an unknown amount of time, he heavily crashed somewhere.
Bang!
The impact was so great he spat out blood. He felt like his organs and bones were all badly damaged, and he had almost lost consciousness from the crash. But he knew that if he fainted, the yin vicious energy would completely corrode him, and nobody would be able to save him from the damage.
Clenching his teeth, he maintained the tiny bit of consciousness he had and used several drops of emperor spring liquid, prioritizing on preventing his injuries from worsening. At the same time, he also started circulating the yin vicious energy into his wind star.
Even though he couldn't calm his mind to meditate, he needed to do it since it was his best chance at surviving. The only reason he could even react in his current condition was thanks to his years of experiencing numerous dangers.
After he did all that, his condition stabilized, and his injuries started recovering. The yin devil wind started converging in his wind star. There, it fused with the yin devil wind. The two were both different types of wind power, and both had the same property of vicious energy. Hence, they supplemented each other instead of rejecting each other.
At that realization, Xiang Shaoyun worked even harder to channel the invading energy into his wind star. It was at that time that someone else appeared near him.
The newcomer was a feathered beastman. Her body was the same as a human female, and she had an average face that was neither beautiful nor ugly. However, numerous winged runes could be seen on her face, and they looked incredibly out of place. Sleek, glossy feathers covered her body, and on her back was a pair of gray wings. It was quite clear she was a feathered beastman.
When she looked at Xiang Shaoyun, an odd glint appeared in her eyes. The feathered beastman had the closest appearance to humans among the numerous beastmen. Comparatively, they were considered a beautiful race. They loved all things beautiful, and they always pursued beauty.
After being smashed here by the wind, Xiang Shaoyun could no longer maintain his invisibility. His clothes had been destroyed, revealing his flawless figure. Hence, the feathered beastman was attracted when she saw him, What a handsome human. If I can copulate with him, our children will most definitely be good looking.
She licked her lips and dashed toward Xiang Shaoyun. Due to his heavy injuries, Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t even able to react. She landed on him successfully.
He was roused awake, and as he glared at the feathered beastman on top of him, he shouted, "What are you trying to do?"
