The gale cut like blades across the four people's bodies, leaving countless tiny wounds on each of them.
After their rest, their bodies had almost fully recovered, but now their wounds were reopened.
The constant pain radiating from their skin caused their facial expressions to become extremely distorted.
The four people screamed in agony, but the gale continued to cut into their bodies. If this continued, they might be blown away to their bones.
"Brother Fei, please help us think of a way!" Wang An said, looking at Pei Yunfei, who seemed completely calm. "We really can't hold on any longer."
As he spoke, his tongue was cut by the strong wind, and blood kept flowing from his mouth.
Chen Tai also pleaded, "Please help us, you must have a way. These winds can't do anything to you."
Yao Ting said, "Yes, we really can't hold on any longer. If we die, how can we continue to serve you?"
Pei Yunfei looked at them and shook his head helplessly, "I really can't help you. Right now, all I can do is ensure that I'm not attacked."
This is what the Lord of the Netherworld uses to punish evil spirits; I have no way to overcome His power.
Yao Ting said, "Why don't you slow down a bit, and we'll hide behind you."
"No problem, but the effect will be minimal, because the wind isn't blowing from one direction, and I can't block it for you."
Hearing Pei Yunfei say this, the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts was shattered.
Can they really hold on?
"No, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to kill myself!"
Miao Qian couldn't bear it any longer. They didn't know how long it would take to escape from here. Rather than suffer like this, she thought she might as well commit suicide.
It has been confirmed that these are Anomalous Instance; even if they die, they can be resurrected in the real world.
Although deducting 90% of their experience points is indeed a cruel punishment, it's nothing compared to the suffering they're already enduring.
"I... I can't take it anymore either! I'll do it with you! I'll kill myself too!" Wang An shouted.
Although Chen Tai and Yao Ting didn't say anything, they were also nearing their limit. If those two really chose to commit suicide, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on either.
It was indeed a pity to give up the opportunity to leave the Anomalous Instance; they wouldn't have done it if they hadn't been so desperate to continue.
Seeing the crowd so intent on dying, Pei Yunfei shook his head, then offered words of encouragement.
"I didn't want to try to persuade you, but it's such a waste for you to commit suicide like this."
You guys finally got through the first two levels, now there's only the last one left.
Think about all the hardships you've endured, can you really bear to give up?
Giving up means all the hardships you've endured so far have been for nothing.
Pei Yunfei's words made them hesitate. Indeed, committing suicide now would mean that all the suffering they had endured before would have been in vain.
If he had committed suicide from the beginning, that would be acceptable, but to choose to give up when success was within reach is truly a pity.
If they really do that, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives.
"Is this really the only hurdle left?" Wang An asked again to confirm.
"It's absolutely true, I'm not saying this to encourage you."
This is really the only level left.
Everyone fell into deep thought. If there really was only one hurdle left, it seemed like they could grit their teeth and persevere.
Seeing the hesitation of the crowd, Pei Yunfei continued, "If I didn't see that you were almost at the end of the journey, I wouldn't bother with you."
Just hang in there a little longer. In two hours at most, we'll be out of this Gale Hell, and then you won't have to suffer anymore.
Imagine if you survived the Instance, you would permanently gain a bonus, at least doubling your strength.
Back then, everyone fawned over you. In the real world, you could practically have whatever you wanted.
"Don't you think it's a pity to give up now?"
Pei Yunfei's words did indeed tempt them, and they gritted their teeth and made up their minds.
I've already passed two stages, and now there's only one left. I can't let all the hard work go to waste.
They cannot give up; they must persevere.
"Okay, let's hold on a little longer!" Just as Chen Tai finished speaking, a small stone blown by the strong wind shattered his front tooth, and the pain made him cry out again.
But his will was unwavering as he struggled against the fierce wind and continued forward.
Seeing him like this, the other three also gained faith.
Seeing everyone regain their fighting spirit, Pei Yunfei smiled.
They seemed relieved by their resilience.
Braving the fierce wind, the group followed behind Pei Yunfei, but even with Pei Yunfei shielding them from some of the wind, their situation was still not much better.
The fierce winds continued to assault their bodies from all sides, making them feel as if they were being torn apart every moment, with blood constantly flowing from their bodies and being quickly dried by the wind.
Their bodies were covered in blood and gore, with no intact parts left, as if their skin had been blown away by a fierce wind.
But no matter how difficult these things were, no matter how much physical pain they endured, they all held a firm belief in their hearts.
But the fierce winds repeatedly shattered their resolve.
Fortunately, Pei Yunfei always cheered them on at crucial moments, which allowed them to barely persevere.
The group's perseverance finally paid off.
More than an hour passed, and the wind in front of them gradually subsided. Although their pain had not disappeared, their hope was now greater.
Hopefully, this will allow them to temporarily disregard physical pain.
Half an hour later, the gale completely subsided, and they finally passed through this Gale Hell.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy; their suffering had finally paid off.
"We've finally arrived!"
All four of them lay directly on the ground, completely drained of strength. They breathed in the fresh air, trying to regain their strength.
With the added benefits of the Instance raid, their bodies are slowly recovering.
Yao Ting then took out some medicine from her inventory and distributed it to everyone.
This is a healing medicine, also a game item, that can quickly repair their damaged bodies.
With the help of these medications, they will be able to fully recover in no time.
Pei Yunfei stood aside watching them rest, without urging them on.
The four people had almost recovered. They stood up from the ground and took out new clothes from their inventory to change into.
Their clothes were already ruined, and it would be very awkward if they didn't change them.
Seeing that they had rested enough, Pei Yunfei said, "Well, can we set off now?"
"Thank you, Brother Fei," Wang An said gratefully, having recovered most of his strength.
"I really couldn't hold on just now. If it weren't for Fei-ge's encouragement, I probably would have committed suicide."
The other three were the same; if it weren't for Pei Yunfei's encouragement, they really wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Now they feel only gratitude towards Pei Yunfei, and are also glad they persevered.
"Brother Fei, are there really no more challenges like this?" Wang An asked again.
His words made everyone prick up their ears and look at Pei Yunfei.
Although they look quite energetic now, they are actually on the verge of collapse if Pei Yunfei tells them that there is still one more hurdle to overcome.
Then they would really have to commit suicide.
They would rather lose experience points than go through that again.
