Chapter 671: Chapter 610: Sapient Creatures (Combined Chapter)
“Ride the wind.”
With Lou Yi activating his new wind talent.
A pair of wings, starkly different in color from before, instantly grew from his back.
The wings were completely transparent red, extending from the original one and a half feet to two feet, thin as cicada wings.
Composed of numerous supporting structures of ’branches’ and thousands of leaf-shaped energy feathers, the design was extremely exquisite, like a crystal artwork.
’Whish,’ the wings unfolded, instantly transforming Lou Yi into a ’bird-man.’
Immediately, he began to flap the red energy wings.
In the small space of the stone house, gusts of fierce wind were stirred up.
Colliding with the Gang Qi coating on the walls, they quickly dissipated but still sent noticeable vibrations throughout.
“Damn it, practice your magic outside, dust is falling into my bowl!” came the cursing voice of the old man from a nearby stone house.
Lou Yi couldn’t help but chuckle; thinking for a moment, he walked out of the cave to other nearby areas to practice his new wind talent.
The gray mist, which could obscure views, became an unexpected shield for Lou Yi, protecting the privacy of all his actions.
’Flap!’
Lou Yi swiftly flapped his wings.
The whole person immediately rose off the ground, like a large bird, flying instantly to over ten feet away.
’Simply flying, the speed is only slightly faster than ordinary birds.’
’However, when combined with leg power, the amplification is extraordinary, raising the base speed from the previous 6 times the sound speed to around 8 times.’
’If accelerating within the Grandmaster Realm, exceeding 10 times the base speed would be easy… and using Body into Sword, it’s unimaginable…’
The speed limit roughly tested, next came endurance testing.
Unlike the previous ’Void Wings’ talent, which consumed Spiritual Power.
The new wind talent consumes Blood Qi, greatly enhancing endurance.
Lou Yi hovered in mid-air flapping his wings for more than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, yet only about one-tenth of his Gang Qi was depleted.
’Not bad, speed increased, strength enhanced significantly.’
Lou Yi returned to the stone house, lying on the stone bed, with no sleepiness until midnight.
With his current strength, even staying awake for ten days and nights wouldn’t matter much, merely exhausting some spirit.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of light footsteps outside the adjacent stone house.
“Friend Ho, are you asleep?” A slight mature female voice followed, carrying laziness and hoarseness, full of tease and temptation.
Lou Yi could even imagine a glamorous female cultivator in a red dress, leaning seductively at the door.
Unfortunately, the male cultivator Ho Shuli from Dafeng Kingdom did not respond at all.
A moment later, Ding Shiniang left with a scornful demeanor.
’That woman, she really is desperate.’ Lou Yi thought, somewhat speechlessly.
The next day.
Early morning, the five who returned to the cave yesterday gathered at the cave entrance.
“You two new to the Abyss have many things to note.
With a few days remaining until the demon’s outbreak later this month, let’s first explore the surroundings to familiarize you.”
The hunchbacked, white-haired old man in gray robes addressed Lou Yi and Ho Shuli, the newcomers.
“Alright, Elder Gui.”
The white-haired old man’s last name was Gui, with a single given name of Liang, a Wood Element cultivator.
Lou Yi had checked his age, already over two hundred, considered an elderly Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Since contact, he had been responsible for communicating with Lou Yi and Ho Shuli.
However, Lou Yi glanced at the other two’s states, expressing understanding.
The young leader Lin Xuan was munching on a candied haw, his mouth full of brown sugar.
The other, a yellow-faced, middle-aged male cultivator with a dull expression, stared blankly into the distance, not saying a word.
His name was Qin Dong, an Earth Element Cultivator, Lou Yi hadn’t heard him say a word so far.
Among the original members of the team, the only reliable one seemed to be Elder Gui.
As the five prepared to set out, a mournful voice came from the cave entrance: “Going out, why not take me?”
Ding Shiniang slowly emerged from the cave entrance.
Now clad in a black gauze dress, her skin appeared even whiter, with certain areas faintly visible, utterly alluring.
“Don’t you dislike going out?” Young Lin Xuan frowned, suddenly finding his candied haw less tasty.
“I am only worried about my dear son-in-law,” Ding Shiniang said, her watery eyes always fixed on Ho Shuli.
“Outside, we address each other as fellow cultivators.” Lin Xuan tossed aside the half-eaten candied haw unhappily.
Ding Shiniang paid him no mind, walked over to Ho Shuli, and thoughtfully adjusted his collar: “Friend Ho, your clothing is disheveled.”
Even several steps away, Lou Yi could smell the strong fragrance, coupled with her intentionally close movements, making it hard for any vigorous youth to resist.
Yet Ho Shuli clearly didn’t buy it, rudely swatting her hand dyed with cardamom away from his chest, angrily declaring: “Friend Ding, please respect yourself!”
“Hmph, out of touch.” Ding Shiniang, finding herself unwelcome, did not insist any further, swaying her voluptuous figure away.
After the small interruption, the six proceeded southwest from the cave, moving only slightly faster than ordinary running.
The world was filled with hazy gray fog, with visibility merely reaching about half a mile, only allowing blurred outlines of objects or people, making details impossible to discern.
The gray rocky ground beneath their feet was hard and uneven, yet pulsating with warmth, giving Lou Yi a feeling like standing atop a giant copper furnace.
