I, Wind Concealment, Have It Too Hard

I, Wind Concealment, Have It Too Hard

Though the distance was only a hundred meters, who knew what dangers they might encounter? They only had one life, and no one wanted to lose it at this final critical moment.

Wind Concealment had a faintly ominous feeling. Compared to the others, his Martial Soul possessed exceptionally strong concealment abilities. What if...

A heavy hand suddenly landed on Wind Concealment's shoulder and gave it a few pats. "Wind Concealment, I think you can definitely do it. There's absolutely no problem."

Reid looked at Wind Concealment as though he truly believed in him. In that instant, Wind Concealment had a string of curses he didn't know whether to say. So that was why you praised me just now!

Wind Concealment had only just worried that someone might push him out there, and then Reid had immediately recommended him.

"Yeah, Wind Concealment. Your Martial Soul has such powerful concealment abilities. A mere hundred meters definitely won't be a problem."

The others all chimed in with Reid, wanting Wind Concealment to go and retrieve the Soul Bone.

Seeing these "companions" treat him like this, Wind Concealment's heart bled, as though it were saying, This is too hard for me!

Jin Ling was different from the others. She didn't know what to say either, so she could only tug at Wind Concealment's clothes, signaling for him not to go.

Wind Concealment was in an extremely difficult position. The longer they wasted time here, the more dangerous it would become. Rather than that...

Wind Concealment looked at Jin Ling and made up his mind!

"Alright, I'll go!"

The longer they remained here, the more dangerous it would be. For Jin Ling's safety, he might as well retrieve the Soul Bone as quickly as possible and hand it over to them!

Wind Concealment took a deep breath and steadied himself. This was a crucial moment—he absolutely could not panic.

"It's only a hundred meters. Believe in yourself!" Wind Concealment silently encouraged himself.

Wind Concealment was quite confident in his concealment abilities. Otherwise, their journey here could not have gone so smoothly.

If Wind Concealment had not intended to act just now, Rota would have stepped in personally.

A hundred meters was only a few breaths for Wind Concealment. His nimble figure quickly arrived before the large tree that held the Soul Bone.

"Whew, I'm finally here. I just need to take the Soul Bone."

Wind Concealment was extremely nervous. The Soul Bone was right before his eyes, yet it somehow felt as distant as the horizon.

"What's this?!"

Wind Concealment pulled back his arm and dodged to the side. It was no coincidence—he had sensed danger.

A mass of crimson flames blazed fiercely where Wind Concealment had just been standing. Had he been a second slower, he might have been burned.

"That was close!"

Still shaken, Wind Concealment stared at the flames blocking his path. Even from far away, he could feel the scorching heat rolling toward him.

Jin Ling was deeply worried, but she could not cry out. Otherwise, that unknown soul beast might discover their group's location.

Wind Concealment looked around, trying to find the soul beast that had launched the attack, but found nothing.

"Did you sense any movement nearby?" Reid asked the Perception Type Soul Sage.

"No, I can't sense anything at all!"

"How could that be? Damn it!" Reid punched the ground beneath his feet, venting his frustration.

Wind Concealment was only an auxiliary-type Soul Master, and his ability to protect himself was much weaker. On top of that, he now had to face an unknown soul beast. The situation had become even more difficult.

"Oh my, it seems this is as far as you can go~ Very well, it's time for this old man to make his entrance!" Rota felt the timing was about right. Wind Concealment definitely could not handle this situation.

"I'm going all out!" Reid did not want to think any further. Since the opponent was a fire-attribute soul beast, he was the only one who had even a slight chance of contending with it.

"Oh my, is that man named Reid going to make a move?" Rota muttered to himself.

Ding, the host's imitation is on point. Imitation degree increased to 58%.

"This can increase the imitation degree too?" Rota was still somewhat surprised. He had merely stopped himself from carrying out an action.

After thinking about it, Rota immediately understood why. In One Piece, aside from being an actor in high-level battles, an undercover agent in the Revolutionary Army, and Luffy's second uncle, Kizaru also possessed a king-level title—the King of Interruptions!

Any trivial matter could interrupt Kizaru's attack. Just now, Reid had probably happened to interrupt him.

"Oh my, this old man has found another way to increase the imitation degree~"

Everything that had just happened took only a second. By then, Reid had already begun sprinting toward the large tree.

Having activated Martial Soul Possession, Reid passed through the blazing wall of fire. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck and broke the tree.

Once the tree was broken, a deep-blue soul beast skull bone appeared inside the hollow trunk.

"I finally got it!"

Seeing that the Soul Bone was in hand, Reid hurriedly grabbed Wind Concealment beside him and retreated. There was only one thing to do now: flee at maximum speed.

"Everyone retreat! Get out of the Life Forbidden Zone as quickly as possible!"

Reid could no longer afford to conceal themselves. Everything that had happened just now had exposed their tracks.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Reid. I failed just now!" Wind Concealment was somewhat upset. If he had been even a little more useful, things would not have turned out like this.

"Don't overthink it. Focus on keeping yourself safe!"

Reid threw Wind Concealment in front of him, and Jin Ling quickly caught him.

"Trying to leave? It won't be that easy!"

At that moment, Fick's mocking voice rang out, and Reid's heart skipped a beat.

"This guy couldn't possibly..."

What Reid had feared had finally happened.

Fick kicked the retreating Reid flying, then casually snatched the Soul Bone from his hand.

The attack had come when Reid was completely off guard, which was why he had been sent flying so easily.

"I was already on guard against him. How did I still..." Reid felt unwilling to accept it. He had been careless after all.

The sudden turn of events left everyone present at a loss. Should they continue fleeing, or turn back to help Reid?

Wind Concealment was the first to lose patience. He broke free from Jin Ling's grasp and rushed toward Reid.

Seeing that Wind Concealment had already turned back, Jin Ling could no longer keep moving forward either. She followed him toward Reid.

"You two? Since when did I, Reid, need two Soul Sages to protect me? Hurry up and leave!"

The moment he finished speaking, blazing flames suddenly erupted from the forest behind them. A violent firestorm swept toward them.

"Watch out!" Reid instantly stepped in front of Wind Concealment and Jin Ling, blocking the raging firestorm.

Reid's martial soul was the fire-attributed Blazing Horned Lizard. The firestorm could not inflict much damage on him, which was at least a small blessing amid disaster.

While Reid was fending off the firestorm, Fick slipped behind them, taking advantage of the opportunity.

"Thanks, Reid. Then let's part ways here. I wish you all the best in making it out alive!" Fick said with a sinister smile.

Before Fick could smile for long, a wall of flames enveloped the space within a hundred-meter radius, blocking Fick as well.

"Troublesome soul beast!" Fick cursed irritably.

The situation was extremely dire. Reid, Wind Concealment, Jin Ling, and that scum Fick had all been surrounded by the soul beast.

"Looks like this won't be easy!" Reid said gravely as he looked at the tall figure in the distance, bathed in flames.
