The area covered by the strong wind zone was much wider than he had imagined. Du Feng walked for quite a while. Even the demonic aura in the White Bone Gonfalon was starting to weaken, but he still hadn't walked out. He even suspected that the captive was lying to him. Purposely leading him into the strong wind zone and then trapping him. After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. If he really couldn't hold on, he could still retreat. He couldn't possibly die in there.
The time needed to walk in and out was about the same. Therefore, Du Feng had to set aside half of the time. He couldn't wait until his body couldn't hold on before retreating. By then, it would be too late.
Eh? Just as he was considering whether to retreat, he vaguely saw a figure walking with difficulty in front of him. Apart from the black-skinned leader of the otherworld warriors, there shouldn't be anyone else who would come here. Although the figure's size didn't match the description, he was still prepared for battle.
The other party didn't seem to be on guard. He probably didn't expect anyone to come into the strong wind zone. Du Feng quietly approached from behind, planning to kill him in one blow. It would be great if he could kill the black-skinned otherworld warrior leader in the strong wind zone. He wouldn't have to go to the Hellfire Furnace again.
Something was wrong! Du Feng's Riding Dragon Sword was about to attack when he suddenly recognized the person in front of him.
"Little Zi, why is it you?"
It was unbelievable. The skinny warrior in front was actually Little Zi from the ancient Xiao Clan.
"Why are you here? Where are Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong? Didn't you guys go back?"
Du Feng kept asking questions. He had to do this because it was too suspicious for Little Zi to appear in such a place. Du Feng even suspected that she was being controlled by some evil spirit or strange otherworld species. If that wasn't the case, why would a weak little girl run into the strong wind zone for no reason?
The strong wind zone was very far from the entrance. Even the Sword Cleansing Pool was a long distance away. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong were clearly leading Little Zi in the opposite direction.
"Big Brother, we … we …"
When Little Zi saw Du Feng, she actually started crying loudly. When she cried like this, Du Feng couldn't help but soften his heart. He stood on the wind to block the sandstorm for her. The strong wind was blowing from the side, so with Du Feng standing on the upwind side, Little Zi was much more relaxed.
At this point, Du Feng had the time to carefully observe Little Violet. He had no idea when she had broken through to the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Moreover, the armor on his body had already been damaged, and there were some messy things wrapped around his head, probably to protect his face.
When they had first entered the Zone of Chaos, out of the three members of the Xiao Clan, only Little Violet hadn't broken through to the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. However, she was already at the peak of the ninth-level Ultimate Emperor Realm. She must have brought the Emperor Breaking Pill with her. He wondered if she had broken through because of the pill, or if she had been stimulated to break through on her own.
That was not important. The most important thing was why she appeared in the strong wind belt. After crying for a while, Little Purple began to tell the story of the three of them. At the start, because Xiao Yuan was already injured, Xiao Hong insisted that the three of them retreat together.
However, Xiao Yuan felt that it would be too embarrassing if he were to return in such a sorry state after coming here with great difficulty. Thus, the three of them dilly-dallied and didn't retreat in time. After using healing medicine, Xiao Yuan's wounds healed and stopped bleeding. They thought about it and didn't dare to go deeper. They decided to take a stroll around the outskirts, hoping that they could find something good.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed in the outskirts. Xiao Yuan was killed on the spot, and Xiao Hong rushed forward to fight the other party. At the same time, she pushed Little Violet onto her mount and told her to escape. Although that mount didn't have much combat power, it was quite fast at escaping.
Just like that, it carried Little Violet and ran away in fear. While Du Feng and the others were washing their swords in the Sword Cleansing Pool, capturing swordsmen, and subduing the black-skinned otherworldly martial artists, Little Violet was running around on her mount. Then, as he ran, a strong gust of wind blew towards him. Then, Little Violet was blown to this place in a daze.
This meant that Little Violet hadn't walked all the way from the outskirts. Instead, she had been blown to this position and had only just found her footing. It was precisely because her body was light and she didn't try her best to resist the strong wind that she survived. If she had really walked all the way here like Du Feng, she would have been smashed into minced meat by the sandstorm.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … This little girl was really lucky, Du Feng imagined. It was probably because the mount had blocked in front of her at the beginning and suffered a large amount of sand attack, and then Little Violet fainted. After the mount was smashed into pieces by the gray sand, the cushion wrapped around Little Violet.
The body of a person who had already fainted was very soft. In addition, Little Violet was light and didn't use much strength. Wrapped by the cushion, she was swept all the way here by the strong wind. The tattered thing wrapped around her body should be the cushion on the back of the mount.
The unconscious Little Violet was thrown in front of Du Feng by the strong wind. She had just woken up and walked two steps when she was discovered by him. There were so many coincidences. If one of them was missing, Little Violet would have died long ago.
If Du Feng hadn't used his divine sense to check her body at close range, he wouldn't have believed that this was the Little Violet from before. But this was the truth. She was the Little Violet from before. She was still so timid and weak. Although she had broken through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm, she still couldn't tell the direction and only knew to walk forward blindly.
"Follow me!"
Du Feng already believed 90% of Little Violet's words. That was why he let her follow by his side. This way, she could hide from the sandstorm. Why didn't he let her hide in the small world of the necklace? It was because Du Feng's trust in her wasn't 100%.
Little Violet's divine sense was indeed not controlled by the evil spirit, but who could guarantee that what she said was true? If Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong were both her and the strong wind was also her own doing, then this matter would be very complicated.
When doing things, one should always leave a way out for oneself. Although Du Feng continued to walk forward as usual, he kept a part of his attention on Little Violet. This could prevent accidents from happening to her, and also prevent her from launching a sneak attack.
It seemed like they were almost there. Through the gray sand, Du Feng could already see a red light in front of them. If he guessed correctly, this should be the Hellfire Furnace that the captive mentioned. Indeed, it was like a furnace. There were red flames everywhere. They were still some distance away, but he could already feel the heat.
"Big Brother, I'm scared!"
Little Violet moved closer and grabbed onto Du Feng's clothes. She didn't seem to be acting strangely. She was just like before.
"Don't be afraid. Big Brother is here."
