Trial of Wind

Faced with Jin's surprised question.

Kevin glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"The one you haven't seen before is okay."

"I've never seen this before?" Jin asked doubtfully, then immediately understood.

The only Resentful Eater Snake he had never seen but had heard Kevin and the others talk about was the true Lord of the Snake Nest.

But it was the only adult snake.

"How did you do that? I've never noticed it before."

Jin sat beside him, propping his head up with his hand, carefully recalling and checking whether he had missed any details.

It's not like he hasn't hunted in the Giant Beast Kingdom before, or that he hasn't stayed in the Giant Beast Kingdom before.

But even after all this time, he still couldn't find any problems.

"Otherwise, why can he be called Lord? And haven't you noticed that although the Giant Beast Kingdom is vast, the number of behemoths living within it is a bit too many?"

As you venture a little further out, you'll discover that no other region in the area has such a dense concentration of life as the Giant Beast Kingdom.

"As for how it was done, to be honest, there's no way to know for sure. All we know is that there must be some kind of binding ability."

"If that's the case, then perhaps it really is possible."

After listening, Jin muttered to himself.

Kevin extended his right hand, and the flames of the Phoenix ignited along the back of his hand, swirling between his fingers.

These flickering flames are like feathers.

The Phoenix, like the Resentful Eater Snake, is undoubtedly an Energy State creature.

Moreover, it is definitely not stronger than the Resentful Eater Snake. If we were to categorize its strength now, it could be classified as Knight.

Logically, they should have been attracted, but no similar signals were conveyed.

Perhaps, as Melusina said, it is only attracted to flesh-and-blood creatures.

That makes sense. No matter what, people are drawn here because of the Thick White Milk and the high nutritional value of it.

The real beneficiaries of these highly nutritious liquids are still those creatures with flesh and blood who need to be fed.

And so, I stayed in the area for another two days.

They saw more.

This means that more powerful creatures are starting to approach.

To some extent, the surrounding grassland ring could be temporarily called Giant Beast Kingdom.

It could also be called a kingdom of Knight.

Because various Knight-level creatures were gathering, and were very restrained, occupying small plots of territory while waiting.

"Isn't it in-depth?"

Qi stood on a tree branch and asked Kevin was looking down at the grassland.

Kevin had already ventured deep into the grasslands before, so why did he stay outside this time?

Kevin shook his head.

"If we're being honest about my strength, it's not much different from these Knight-level creatures; we're essentially on the same level."

Like the Four-Armed Beast, Kevin could fight it, suppress and defeat it, and even kill it at a cost.

"But it will definitely not crush the opponent; it doesn't have the ability to instantly kill them."

The same goes for the creatures around them.

These creatures of similar status were all so restrained, and did not venture deep into the grassland at this moment.

There must be a reason for that.

At times like these, one should have reverence for nature, especially on the Dark Continent. Even if they have previously ventured into the heart of the grasslands, it is best to remain on the outside rather than risk going in to explore.

That's not bravery, that's courting death.

At this time, following the actions of these animals is undoubtedly the safest course of action.

The weather has changed.

Kevin suddenly spoke, then slightly crouched down.

"Bang!"

A dull thud.

Then a gust of wind swept across Qi's face, making his hair stand on end.

Kevin's body shot into the sky like a rocket launch, then landed steadily on the top of a tree branch, standing on one leg.

Qi looked up at the sky and brushed the grass off his head.

"Just jump, why make such a fuss?"

I hopped and skipped a couple of times and managed to keep up.

It landed on the top of another tree.

It wasn't just the two of them.

Before long, the others around seemed to have noticed something as well, and one after another they jumped to the top of the tree.

In an instant, the group landed on the treetops of the surrounding branches.

Kevin stretched out his right hand and felt it.

"It's windy, and it's not normal."

Others, of course, noticed it too.

A breeze is blowing from the distant grasslands.

It's getting bigger and bigger.

"Phew~"

Like a gust of wind, the surrounding leaves began to scatter.

Hmm!

"Roar!"

"Waaah!"

Various shouts rose and fell in the surrounding woods.

The shouts grew louder and more frequent.

"The wild beasts have started to riot!"

Morel continued his reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

With furious shouts, his Purple Smoke Machine Soldier were being attacked by the surrounding Beasts.

Indiscriminate attack.

The roars were followed by a cacophony of shouts and cries of pain.

In less than two minutes, the stench of blood filled the entire area. Upon closer inspection, one could even see wisps of blood in the air.

Suddenly, the ring surrounding the grassland became Slaughterhouse.

"They began to kill each other—no, the powerful beasts were slaughtering the weak."

"And those weaker creatures are actually rebelling against their own food chain—"

Morel, who was still observing, sounded somewhat surprised.

Even when slaughtered by powerful beasts, the weaker animals still try to push their way forward.

Even death could not stop them.

The wind grew stronger, and the tree branches began to sway wildly.

Kevin crouched slightly.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose.

The wind pressure grew stronger and stronger, pressing down on the surrounding trees, some of which, unable to bear the weight, snapped in two.

"We have to go down."

Kevin caught Qi, who was almost blown away.

Jin, who was behind, also hugged her son.

The group had no choice but to jump down from the tree.

They fell into the forest, where the surrounding mud, rocks, grass, and leaves were being violently blown towards them by the wind.

But it's much better than being in the trees.

Everyone bowed slightly.

At this moment, even the surrounding carnage ceased to exist; all living beings resisted the wind pressure, refusing to retreat an inch.

"It seems like this is a trial, and only by standing here can one reap the rewards of that trial."

At this moment, Jin couldn't help but laugh, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Um!"

Morel let out a muffled cry of pain.

A rather sharp boulder was blown by the wind and slammed heavily into him.

Fortunately, he had already used his Nen Aura to defend himself, so although he felt pain, it did not cause him any harm.

But the impact of the Rock nearly knocked his body off balance.

If you lose your balance at this time, you will definitely be blown away.

"Snap!"

Branches broke, and some sturdy trees were even blown askew, with parts of their roots being uprooted.

At this point, no one could speak anymore. If they opened their mouths, the howling wind would rush in, and their surroundings were completely filled with the sound of the wind.

The howling wind suppressed all other sounds.

Sand and mud kept pelting them.

Pain shot through their bodies, and some of the blows even caused their bodies to sway wildly.

At this moment, Qi was completely airborne, with one hand being held tightly by Kevin, otherwise he would have been blown away immediately.

Jin, standing behind, was doing the same, clinging tightly to his son.

Suddenly, a violent cracking sound was heard.

"Depend on!"

Kevin's eyes widened when he saw the flying object, and he raised his left fist and swung it forward sharply.

What flew towards them was a huge, broken tree trunk, blown sideways by the wind. Once it flew over, it would be enough to smash them all away.

Kevin was too small compared to the creatures and trees of the Dark Continent.

With the swing of his left fist, the barrier immediately formed a sharp triangle that bulged forward.

The triangular tip, like a sharp cutting blade, slices through the falling trees.

The barrier cut through the incoming wind, sending it flying to both sides.

"Get behind me!"

The barrier cut through the storm, allowing Kevin's voice to travel further back.

Kiy landed on the ground, half-lying behind Kevin.

The others began to approach, gathering behind Kevin.

It consists of a sharp triangle with Kevin at the head.

Huge rocks and trees kept crashing down on us with a series of thuds.

The strong winds created intense pressure.

Like a storm passing through, everything around it is thrown up.

The trees closest to the outermost edge have been completely cleared and broken.

The thicker ones can still maintain their main trunk, but their shape is crooked and their roots are exposed.

The thinner branches were completely broken off, leaving only stumps firmly planted on the ground.

A sudden gust of strong wind carried a hint of moisture.

Kevin immediately sensed something.

His eyes widened suddenly.

"The choice is yours, the opportunity has arrived! But you can no longer hide behind me."

This may be a natural trial.

Just like the wild beasts around them were waiting.

Without hesitation, Jin threw Gon out, then followed closely behind.

Gon, who had been thrown out, immediately adjusted his body and grabbed a tree stump, his whole body billowing like a strip of cloth in the wind.

Various sharp branches and Rock struck him, quickly leaving him covered in wounds.

The strong wind that blew in carried a damp scent.

Gold is also resisting.

With a flash of lightning, Qi was also sent flying.

Melusina, Morel, and others came out one after another.

Seeing this, Kevin removed the barrier as well.

A strong gust of wind suddenly swept in.

However, neither the strong winds nor the flying boulders and branches could cause Kevin any harm.

The air grew increasingly humid, and the strong winds that blew felt like sea breezes, carrying a sticky, viscous texture that clung to everyone's bodies.

Before long, everyone's bodies were soaked.

The liquid floating on their faces, under the strong wind, was forcibly rubbed into their flesh and blood.

Others were too preoccupied with the strong winds to even notice the changes in their bodies; their energy was entirely focused on keeping themselves from being blown away.

Even if there are changes on the body surface, they are still affected by the attacks from those strong winds.

All that's left is pain.

Only Kevin could perceive it so clearly.

So that's how it is. Now he understands why those creatures flocked to the edge of the grassland, not venturing deeper, but sitting on the edge of the grassland waiting.

I also understand why these creatures become so restrained at times like this, as if they tacitly agree to divide up small territories on the periphery and wait quietly.

Unfortunately, these gifts meant little to me; they were better than nothing.

But for Jin, for Melusina and the others, this was undoubtedly a rare and tremendous opportunity.

If I had known this would happen, I should have called everyone else over.

Kevin felt a slight pang of regret.

This moisture carried by the strong wind is undoubtedly Thick White Milk, or some kind of essence that is even more refined than Thick White Milk.

They are blown outwards by the strong wind and blend into it.

Creatures that can withstand strong winds will rapidly absorb this essence under the combined effect of the strong winds and the essence.

These moist liquids will quickly blend into the body and penetrate through the skin's surface, reaching every meridian and every inch of skin.

Its function, without a doubt, is to break down the boundaries of the body.

This is a leap in life.

The fish leaps over the dragon gate.

As I pondered this, the strong wind subsided.

As the strong winds subsided, the pressure on everyone instantly eased, and the amount of flying pebbles and dirt had already decreased significantly, as the debris that could be blown away had already been blown over in the first wave.

"Call!"

Gon landed on the ground, covered in mud, sand, and blood.

Large amounts of blood continued to flow from the wounds on his head and body.

No joke, his entire body was a bloody mess.

It's not just Gon.

Everyone.

Even Melusina's body was severely injured, her entire body soaked in blood, as if stained with blood.

Compared to others, the only advantage might be that there was no visible bloody or mangled flesh on the surface.

Kevin immediately went to Melusina's side, hugged her, and injected the medicine into her body.

"I'm alright," Melusina.

Kevin took out another bottle of medicine, then threw the Syringe pricked Gon, injecting the liquid.

The Syringe then disappeared.

After several rounds of this, everyone was injected with the Healing Potion.

I'm fine now.

After the medicine was injected into Melusina's body, Melusina felt much better; compared to others, her injuries were quite minor.

In comparison, this is the case.

Kevin started looking at the others.

Thanks to the Healing Potion, no one's condition deteriorated to the worst possible point.

Jin had already stood up and was checking on Gon's condition.

Kevin put both Qi and Morel together.

The surrounding area has been almost completely leveled, with only some tree stumps remaining.

"The view is quite expansive."

Morel, looking utterly miserable with his Pipe in hand, grinned, but was immediately jerked away by the pain in his body.

"Be quiet, your sunglasses are smashed."

Kevin made a comment.

I have no idea how they did it; their glasses were still on their faces, just broken.

Kiy had already fainted.

"Although it looks terrible, at least his life isn't in danger."

After a thorough examination, Kevin confirmed it.

He stood up and looked around.

Since the area had been leveled, it was now deserted, but he could still spot the Moss Elk not far from their camp in the distance.

The elk's antlers were broken, and its body was not much different from Qi and the others; it was also a bloody mess.

You can see that even one of its front hooves is twisted and bent.

But at this moment, he stood up using the three legs that he could still move.

He left, his body mangled and bloody, limping.

"Congratulations everyone, you have broken through the limits of your bodies."

Kevin said, gazing out at the grassland.

The Gale Grassland have completely transformed into Golden Grassland, with even the outermost blades of grass turning golden.

And within these colors, arcs of electricity permeated the air.
