The Wind of Sorrow did not stop. The deeper they went into the Qinling Mountains, the stronger the wind became.
It did not take long for the three defensive Mages of the Violet Imperial Battalion to expend all their energy. It was extremely difficult for the team to advance further.
From time to time, a few ear-piercing cries could be heard from the sky. At the top of the cliffs and behind the treetops, there would always be a few pairs of eyes observing them from a safe distance, like enemy scouts.
"Screech!"
"Screech!"
The cries of the demon beasts gave the team a headache.
Li Dexin looked up and scanned his surroundings. He was in a bad mood.
Weren't these demon beasts afraid of death? They had just killed a huge bunch of demon beasts not long ago, yet they were still following them!
"I'll take care of them!" Ling Fei said.
Li Dexin nodded slightly.
Ling Fei was a Magician with Wind Element as her primary Element and Lightning Element as her secondary Element. She summoned countless Lightning Whips and struck down those Mountain Patrolling Demons one after another.
Ling Fei's Lightning Seed was obviously a Soul-grade creature. The demon beasts stood no chance against it. They soon eliminated the new batch of demon beasts.
However, as Ling Fei was about to rejoin the team, a winged demon beast covered in shiny, blue-gray feathers ambushed her. The cunning winged demon beast had been hiding among the leaves. Ling Fei happened to fall right into it. Her arm was cut by the sharp feathers as she did not have time to cast a defensive spell. Fresh blood poured out from the wound.
Battles in the wild were always like this. Even if your level was higher than some demon creatures, you could still lose your life if some cunning demon creatures found a chance to attack you. Luckily, Ling Fei was a Battlemage with quick reflexes. She managed to avoid having her throat slit in the nick of time.
Ling Fei angrily killed the winged demon beast. She checked the area one last time to make sure there were no other demon beasts hiding in the area before rejoining the team.
There was no Healer among the nine members of the Violet Imperial Battalion. They could only rely on medicine to recover from their injuries. Zhao Manyan finally had a chance to use the Insect Healing Method that he had learned from Mubai.
"Are you sure it's going to work?" Ling Fei had a feeling that Zhao Manyan was up to no good.
"It works. It's a little painful, but it can repair the blood vessels and muscles in a short time," Zhao Manyan said.
"It doesn't matter if it hurts," Ling Fei said calmly.
"I admire your perseverance," Zhao Manyan said.
Being injured was a very troublesome thing. Many magical beasts were very sensitive to the smell of blood. A bleeding wound was equivalent to sending out a location signal to the magical beasts within a few kilometers.
Ling Fei was a female soldier, so she knew very well that she couldn't be a burden to the team because of her carelessness. The method Zhao Manyan used was a little weird and disgusting, but it was better than bleeding non-stop.
"There's a curtain tree ahead. We can rest there," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"That's great. No wonder you're General Zhang. With you accompanying us to the Qinling Mountains, I feel much more at ease," Staff Officer Xu flattered.
This time, the Curtain Tree was very big. There were seven or eight areas with hanging curtain leaves. In this way, they didn't have to squeeze in a small place. With a little distribution, everyone could lie down comfortably.
"Let's go to this room," Zhao Manyan said.
Ling Fei nodded. She did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Previously, when Zhao Manyan's bones were broken by Gangma in the military logistics town in Egypt, Mubai had used the same method to heal them.
Zhao Manyan had asked Mubai for some of the worms that could heal wounds rapidly. He stored them in his space bracelet in case he needed them.
Ling Fei, who was sitting upright, immediately frowned when she took out the white flesh worm.
She suspected that Zhao Manyan was trying to disgust her.
However, she still endured it. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be too late for her to kill Zhao Manyan with lightning.
"What are you looking at!?" Ling Fei glared at Zhao Manyan when she saw him glancing around.
"I'm admiring, admiring. Prepare yourself, I'm going to start. If it hurts, just cry out. It'll feel a lot better, "Zhao Manyan said.
"Cut the crap, hurry up!" Ling Fei said.
She reached out her arm. Normal medicines were not going to work. The feathers of the winged beast most likely had some Blood-Piercing Velvet Needles, which would irritate the wound.
"My worms are going in," Zhao Manyan said.
Ling Fei lifted her head slightly and closed her eyes.
A moment later, she felt something itchy crawling on her wound. She opened her eyes and saw the white worms had turned into the color of her blood.
"They're going in. Hang in there," Zhao Manyan said.
"AH!" Ling Fei had already prepared herself, but she was still shocked by the sudden piercing pain. She even let out a cry that caught her off guard.
It was extremely painful, as if it was connected to her heart. Ling Fei thought she had a strong tolerance as a soldier, yet she did not expect the worms to inflict such great pain when they entered her body. She almost fainted.
"Hang in there, it's going to be over soon!"
"Quick!"
"Almost, almost, ow, don't pull me … AH! It hurts! "
"Is … is it out?"
"It's going to stay in your body. Don't worry, it's rich in protein. It won't do any harm to your body … can you let go of me now? My skin is red!"
"Asshole, why didn't you tell me it's going to stay in my body!?"
…
On the other side of the curtain, Bai Hongfei and Yu Shishi exchanged glances with one another. For some reason, they both blushed.
"Screech! Screech! "
"Screech!"
The cries of the Winged Patrol Beasts came again not long after the group rested. Their ears were about to explode.
The group had only thought that the Curtain Tree was quite magical when they were at it last time, but they were seriously worn out this time. They had finally gotten a chance to rest without being ravaged by the Wind of Sorrow, yet the Winged Patrol Beasts came again before they could catch their breaths!
The Winged Patrol Beasts of the Qinling Mountains truly deserved their reputation for being stubborn!
"They are trying to destroy the Curtain Tree again. Damn it, I'm going to kill them all!" Li Dexin was about to lose his mind.
