518. Wind Ji, the Elemental Spirit (Five more updates tomorrow!)

You know, I can communicate with Flame Ji and Snow Woman, so why can't I understand a thing about what they're saying today? What's going on...?

Upon hearing this, Apas said calmly, "This guy who attacked us seems to really hate you humans. Who knows what heinous things you've done?"

"Damn it... I just got here!" Tang Miao said, feeling wronged.

Although he did cause trouble as soon as he arrived, and even fought a big battle because of it, it was clearly not something he did intentionally!

If I had known the other party was so vengeful, I would have wiped out all those swarms of birds no matter what.

"Eek..."

"Ee... Ee-oh~"

"Ring~"

The three Element Pet were acting like they were being pampered, their voices so pleasant. Of course, if it weren't for the Storm Fiend's occasional wary glances at him, he could have enjoyed those melodious voices.

However, it seems that this stupid woman, Apas, still hasn't told me what they're saying or why I can't understand them???

"Why are you looking at me? I don't really understand either. Maybe it's their unique language..." Apas could only read the other's displeasure towards humans in their eyes.

As for the rest, she couldn't understand them either...

"So you don't know anything, and you're just pretending to be a big shot in front of me?" Tang Miao paused, then curled his lip.

Apas gave a light "humph," then said with dissatisfaction, "I'm not omnipotent, how could I possibly know everything?"

"Cut..."

Tang Miao gave her a slightly disdainful look.

At this moment, Flame Ji retreated and, looking at Tang Miao, softly conveyed their conversation...

Flame Ji told Tang Miao that she was not a demon spirit, but a true Wind Element Pet, Sandstorm Wind Ji, and that she attacked them because a human had once harmed her child!

It seems someone wanted to obtain Little Sandstorm Wind Ji, her descendant, as Contract Pet. However, it discovered this, and although it injured them but didn't kill them, it thought the matter was over... but it underestimated human greed!

Not only did one of them not appreciate being spared, but they actually ventured back into the Sahara Desert... And, just as I returned, they had set up a strange magical array. In the end, to ensure the survival of their child, they risked the array's Evil Qi invading their body, thus injuring the other...

However, his opponent was quite strong, and in the end, he managed to escape...

Although its offspring survived despite its desperate struggle, it did not know when they would be born.

Most importantly, the magical energy within this body seems to be constantly trying to devour him every day...

All of this trouble stemmed from its initial leniency! Fortunately, it was almost two years ago that it finally sensed the other party's presence, and for that reason, it didn't hesitate to break out of the Illusory Realm to finally avenge its great grudge!

The reason it attacked just now was because it thought Tang Miao and the others were there to steal its child...

Fortunately, the appearance of two mature Element Pet, Flame Ji and Snow Woman, along with their defense of their respective unscrupulous fathers, finally calmed the Sandstorm Fiend's rage and murderous intent.

After hearing Little Flame Ji's explanation, Tang Miao understood why, in the original story, the arrival of the Super Level Mage to provide rescue was met with the sudden appearance of a powerful Demon Beast like the Sandstorm Fiend... oh, of course, now it's the Sandstorm Wind Ji...

So, among the rescue team that came here initially, there were actually people like this...

Tang Miao was very curious as to how the other party knew that there would be Sandstorm Wind Ji here.

This doesn't seem to be a naturally occurring place prone to tornadoes, does it?

Shouldn't Element Pet be born in places with extremely high elemental density?

His doubts remained unanswered, but the Snow Woman retreated, seemingly telling Tang Miao that the Sandstorm Wind Ji no longer needed to intervene, but they had to leave immediately!

Clearly, even with the presence of both Flame Ji and Snow Woman, both elemental spirits, she could only remain unmoved and annihilate Tang Miao. As for climbing the mountain, that was out of the question!

Even though both Flame Ji and Snow Woman expressed their willingness to follow Tang Miao, Wind Ji still didn't have a good impression of him.

Tang Miao naturally didn't want to leave just like that. After all, the bead was still glowing, which meant that there must be an energy source he needed on the mountaintop. It would be such a pity to miss it!

After thinking for a moment, Tang Miao said to the Snow Woman, "Girl, tell it that perhaps I can help its child be reborn. Ask it if it needs it."

He certainly didn't possess any healing techniques, but as long as he could get up there, wouldn't he have a chance to find something that would interest the bead?

After absorbing it, let Wind Ji tell them the way out. That way, even if they leave like this, it won't be a loss!

As for being powerless to go up there?

That's for sure. After all, he wasn't there to rescue it; he was just there to harvest some energy. He couldn't save it, and he wouldn't harm it, so why would it attack him randomly?

Upon hearing Tang Miao's words, the Snow Woman floated over again. However, it was clear that the other party didn't seem very receptive...

Apas, seeing Tang Miao's skepticism about climbing to the mountaintop, asked doubtfully, "If this bead is fully filled, does it really possess the power of a divine artifact?"

After all, they had already encountered such a powerful being, yet Tang Miao still insisted on taking the risk up the mountain. There were now reasons to persuade her.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I'm still so determined to go up the mountain?" Tang Miao replied.

It was unclear how their conversation was going; Wind Ji simply stared at Tang Miao and the others, but remained silent for a long time.

Tang Miao was getting impatient, but there was nothing he could do. This was Element Pet, unlike ordinary monarchs. Even if he was impatient, he had to endure it. Without demonic assistance, facing Element Pet of this level would almost certainly mean certain death...

"Eee-oh~!"

After a moment, Wind Ji spoke again.

The Snow Woman floated back, whimpering softly, to tell Tang Miao that they were allowed to enter. However, if they couldn't heal her child, they had to leave immediately. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so polite!

Tang Miao nodded at Wind Ji and said, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Wind Ji seemed skeptical, but then her hand, covered in sand, reached out, and a whirlwind filled the air beneath Tang Miao and Apas's feet. The two then began to rise straight up towards the mountaintop!

The moment the other party moved, Tang Miao had already prepared to draw the constellation. Although he appeared relaxed on the surface, he wasn't really. Even if it was Element Pet, it wasn't tamed; who knew if it might suddenly attack?

In fact, Apas was also on high alert the moment the other party made a move.

If she hadn't been so vigilant, how could she have survived until now?

Being caught by Tang Miao... this was definitely an accident...

After all, she never imagined that Tang Miao and his group would dare to venture into her palace! And the outer perimeter was entirely occupied by her own men... What frustrated her most was that they arrived precisely when she was at her weakest...

That's all well and good, but what Apas still can't understand is... why did Tang Miao so readily accept her identity, given her delicate and beautiful appearance? And how did he even know all this...?

It's like having a traitor by your side... but that's clearly impossible. Those who know of her weakness are almost all demons; Medusa and a human woman giving birth to a speaking Demon Beast like her is rare. At least, below the Emperor Level, it should be extremely rare...

(Here's a setting: Emperor and above can speak human language... after all, there aren't many strange sounds I can think of.)

At least she wasn't around. As for her eldest and second eldest sisters, although they both wanted to kill her to compete with her, they would never unite with humans.

After all, Medusa's lineage is noble, and in their eyes, humans are inferior beings... So, expecting them to unite with humans is like asking the sun to rise in the west.

Of course, even if there were such people... they would be those with high positions of power and real strength, definitely not someone like Tang Miao who simply Super Tier Level One in Lightning Element cultivation.

While his combat prowess is indeed terrifying, who would bother testing his actual fighting abilities for no reason?
