Entangled Relentlessly

As for Zhao Manyan's complaints, those who knew him chose to ignore them.

After all, they've already gotten used to it...

As time went by, what started as just dry skin from the wind gradually turned into cracked skin. If no preventative measures were taken, the entire layer of skin would be completely torn off. Before entering the Qinling Mountains, I didn't know what this So Wind was like, but now that I've experienced it firsthand, it's even more terrifying.

What's most troublesome is that these So Wind blow all over the Qinling Mountains, leaving nowhere to hide; they're practically everywhere...

"Awooo~~"

Just then, even the Earth Sub-Dragon could no longer withstand the onslaught of the So Wind. After all, its size was simply too enormous, and even though everyone had set up defenses, they were unable to protect it at all.

"Go back and rest." Li Dexin helplessly put his Earth Sub-Dragon into the Contract Space, while cursing, "What kind of strange wind is this? Even my dragon can't withstand it!"

"The So Wind ignores defenses, so anyone, regardless of their level, must abide by the laws of the Qinling Mountains when entering them," Zhang Xiaohou said calmly.

Clearly, Zhang Xiaohou was quite pleased that this guy had suffered a loss.

"Even a creature like a dragon can't withstand this So Wind, how can those lesser demons and monsters survive?" Yu Shishi had been silent until now, asked curiously.

"Why do you care whether they live or die? They've been here for so long, they must have their own ways of surviving," Tang Miao said, dissatisfied.

This little vixen, does she really think she's a demon?

They actually care about the life or death of Demon Beast!

When Tang Miao spoke up, Zhang Xiaohou didn't explain anything. After all, what business was it of his if Tang Miao scolded his own woman?

He didn't want to get involved.

"Young Military General, isn't it more inappropriate for us to wander around like this?" Staff Officer Xu of the Purple Gold Army finally voiced his opinion.

"One more kilometer ahead," Zhang Xiaohou continued, leading the way.

After walking for about a kilometer with Zhang Xiaohou, Staff Officer Xu couldn't help but speak again. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohou suddenly sped up, arriving at the foot of a large mountain wall in front of them as quickly as a whirlwind.

The mountain walls are majestic, looking as if they have been cleaved in two by a sword. One side is almost vertical, covered with many large ancient pines. Their thick trunks form a small world of leaves in this area that is constantly exposed to the darkness of night, where many creatures live.

On the mountainside near the ground, there is an ancient tree whose appearance is completely different from other plants. Its trunk leans towards the night sky and splits into two large branches in the middle.

The two main trunks stood strong and upright, unaffected by the ravages of the fierce winds, showing no sign of swaying. The branches, however, were quite different; those distributed along the main trunks always naturally drooped down, forming beautiful curtains...

"Isn't that Curtain Tree!" Staff Officer Xu, who had just looked constipated, suddenly exclaimed with delight.

They had been walking in the So Wind for more than three hours, and the So Wind's power showed no signs of diminishing. If they were delayed any longer, not only would the rescuers be in danger, but they themselves might also perish!

To his surprise, just when he was about to lose his patience, Zhang Xiaohou led them to a place to stay...

"Young General Zhang, you really are something! You truly know the Qinling Mountains best..." Staff Officer Xu praised.

"Alright, everyone, let's rest. The So Wind might weaken a bit during the day, then we can continue our journey." Zhang Xiaohou didn't seem particularly excited as he looked at the people in the Purple Gold Army.

The people in the Purple Gold Army had also recognized Zhang Xiaohou's abilities; at least following him was much better than wandering around aimlessly on their own!

So no one spoke, and they followed his instructions and entered the Curtain Leaf Tent. Fortunately, there were two Curtain Leaf Tents, formed by the trunks of two Curtain Tree. Considering that everyone needed to rest at night, the men and women separated and lay down under the Curtain Leaf Tent to rest.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

"Waaaaah~~~"

The So Wind continued to blow freely outside, its power clearly increasing in the latter half of the night. Those hiding under the Curtain Leaf Tent were quite comfortable, as no matter how much they struggled, the Demon Wind couldn't harm them in the slightest.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

"..."

"Lilili..."

"Lilili..."

Around two or three in the morning, a series of sounds suddenly came from outside the Curtain Leaf Tent...

Several sharp cries followed, and everyone immediately woke up. They were all too familiar with those cries—wasn't it the Mountain-Patrolling Feather Demon?

Given the sheer power of these So Wind, why would they still bother us?

"The So Wind is the Protection Umbrella of the Feather Demon Clan. The Feather Demon have lived in the Qinling Mountains for a long time, and the feathers covering their bodies all have a special protective curve. When the So Wind on them, it actually helps to make their feathers smoother and sharper." Seemingly seeing everyone's doubts, Zhang Xiaohou suddenly explained.

Under the So Wind, they were unharmed and could even use the So Wind to unleash some special skills, while these outsiders could only hide under the Curtain Tree!

In the Qinling Mountains, even the lowest-ranking Feather Demon are fearless!

After all, their ability to survive here for so long is due to their special abilities!

"Whoosh~!!"

Suddenly, a narrow gap appeared in the leaf curtain, and a gust of biting So Wind rushed in.

"Swish swish swish..." But that wasn't the end of it; several more sounds followed...

After several more cuts were made, the once impenetrable leaf curtain became completely inadequate, and the cold wind that had been blowing inside woke everyone up.

These Mountain-Patrolling Feather Demon were among the most despicable and vile Demon Beast Mo Fan had ever seen. They cried incessantly, and knowing that outsiders would have a hard time surviving in the Qinling Mountains, they kept tearing at the leaf curtains that people used to block the wind, leaving them nowhere to stay!

"Is there any way to kill them all?" Li Dexin was clearly a hot-tempered person; he could no longer tolerate the endless harassment from these patrolling demons.

"It's difficult. As soon as we go out, they scatter immediately, and then they fly back after a while. Moreover, the Mountain-Patrolling Feather Demon of the Qinling Mountains are truly disgusting creatures. Once the scent of their blood spreads, it can travel ten kilometers with the So Wind. As long as they smell this scent, the Feather Demon will all fly here. In this respect, the Feather Demon are quite united," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. You guys rest, leave this to me!" Li Dexin clearly didn't think it was that bad, and in fact, he was genuinely provoked.

I'm so angry, I just have to vent it!
