I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 15. The Evil Dragon and the Black Crow

"The Primordial Tree that sealed the evil dragon—the legend is true!" Qi Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

Legend has it that deep within the Evil Dragon Forest lies an ancient divine tree called the World Tree, which suppresses and seals an extremely evil demonic dragon. The dragon is filled with terrifying evil power, and anyone who approaches it will be devoured by this evil power and die instantly!

"what is this?"

Xia Feng, with his sharp eyes, suddenly noticed a nearly transparent film in the air less than a meter away.

He looked up in confusion and around, only to find that the membrane stretched infinitely upwards, downwards, leftwards, and rightwards, with no end in sight.

At this moment, the thin film seemed to be expanding, moving closer and closer to Xia Feng and the other person.

"Run! Run!" Qi Xiao seemed to recognize the thing, his eyes filled with terror, but his injuries were too severe for him to move an inch. So he could only place his hopes on Xia Feng, his eyes pleading, "Save me."

Qi Xiao felt that his life could still be saved; he didn't want to die.

Xia Feng wasn't about to be foolish enough to immediately step forward and finish off Qi Xiao. In the blink of an eye, he had retreated behind Qi Xiao, smiling and giving him a thumbs up: "Go for it! You're the best!"

Although Xia Feng did not sense any danger, he still decided to let Qi Xiao test the waters first.

"you--"

Qi Xiao's eyes widened in terror. Before he could react, the thin membrane moving between heaven and earth passed right through his body. "Ugh—"

His words came to an abrupt halt, and his terrified gaze instantly became lifeless and empty. He sat motionless against the tree trunk, facing the falling snow to the north.

"Huh? Why is it so quiet?"

Xia Feng, who was standing behind and couldn't see his condition, called out in confusion, "Hey, are you still alive? If you're not dead, say something!"

The membrane was still moving slowly, and Xia Feng followed by retreating step by step, staring suspiciously at Qi Xiao's back. But at this moment, he vaguely sensed something and focused his gaze.

A nearly transparent, blurry ball of light was seen rising from Qi Xiao's head, and its shape could be vaguely identified as a human body.

"Is this... a soul?" Xia Feng murmured in confusion. He had only seen a demonstration animation of this thing during his theoretical studies in the first year, but had never seen what it actually looked like.

The transparent figure twisted and contorted, its face contorted in a ferocious manner as it flailed its arms and let out a silent scream. It reached out to Xia Feng for help in terror, but to no avail, as the spirit floated higher and higher.

huh-huh-

Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the wind was howling.

Countless dark gray fogs surged from all directions, instantly enveloping and devouring Qi Xiao's spirit body, leaving only one gray eye outside, filled with despair and terror.

"Do not!!!"

Xia Feng vaguely heard his shrill screams echoing through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the gray mist dissipated, the spirit was completely decomposed, and its soul was scattered.

"This gray fog is... a dense, tangible Evil Force!"

Xia Feng silently mourned for Qi Xiao for half a second, then exclaimed excitedly, "So that's how it is! Well then, I'll gladly accept your offer!"

He took a step forward and walked straight into the membrane, but his movements froze the moment he stepped inside.

"Eh?"

Xia Feng suddenly felt a lightness in his body. He looked down and saw that his head was actually under his crotch. Huh?
He pushed off with his legs as if swimming, and his spirit began to accelerate into the air.

Soon, he saw large swaths of gray mist floating in the air, sniffed the air, and heard a soft "gulp."

What a rich vanilla ice cream flavor! His eyes gleamed with excitement. He tilted his head back, spread his arms wide, and shouted at the cloud with his eyes closed, "Come on! Bomb me all you want, I can take it!"

huh-huh-

Snowflakes fluttered down, and a cold wind blew by. Xia Feng squinted one eye. The gray fog in the distance remained motionless, showing none of the enthusiasm it had shown Qi Xiao just moments before.

Xia Feng looked puzzled and swam towards a small gray mist using both hands and feet.

whoosh-

The small gray fog cloud instantly retreated ten meters.

"Eh?"

Xia Feng paused for a moment, then turned and flew towards the large gray fog cloud to the north.

whoosh-

The large gray fog was even faster, flying backward and disappearing in an instant.

"Eh???" Xia Feng took a deep breath, refusing to believe it, and flew towards the massive gray fog cloud in the east, snarling, "You dare to run away?!"

Whoosh whoosh—

The massive gray fog cloud broke apart into countless smaller fog clouds, scattering and escaping in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the sky and earth were empty.

Snowflakes fluttered down, the north wind howled, and Xia Feng stood alone amidst the snow-covered landscape, feeling a chill in her heart.

OK OK! That’s how you play it, right?
He felt blatant discrimination!
"No way, I just don't believe it!" He locked onto a small cloud of mist, gritted his teeth, and continued chasing, whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Wherever he went, the gray fog clouds scattered and fled, like small fish fleeing in panic when a shark suddenly appeared in a lake.

Fear and disgust filled them.

"Okay, very good, not bad! You won!" Xia Feng gave up after realizing he couldn't catch up with one of them.

However, when he looked down, he froze on the spot.

On the endless snowfield, a few dozen people stood scattered about, all with blank expressions, silently gazing in the direction of the World Tree.

These people were probably an adventure group or military that entered this place a few years ago, attempting to search for some evil dragon treasure, and ultimately perished here.

Xia Feng gazed into the distance and could vaguely see skeletons, severed limbs, and ice sculptures half-buried in the snow.

This is the surface appearance, which shows how many souls have been buried by the endless snow.

Xia Feng retraced his steps and tried the method taught in the textbook. He was able to return to his physical body and his bodily functions returned to normal. He then relaxed his will to resist, and his spirit took flight, heading deeper into the air.

More than an hour had passed since we first started flying, but the distance between us and the World Tree standing tall in the distance did not shorten in the slightest.

However, he unexpectedly discovered a second membrane that stretched between heaven and earth.

Xia Feng looked up at the dim sky. The snow was still falling, and the lonely blood moon in the sky emitted a blood-red light that pierced through the clouds, covering the earth with a layer of cold, blood-red clothing.

"Thump—thump thump!"

The pale golden light in his chest was pulsating faster, emitting a thunderous roar. It was the original power of the Demon Heart rooted in his spirit, and it seemed to sense something, excited, cheering, and stirring the desires within him.

It was as if it was telling him that what he wanted was ahead!
"Is the evil dragon just ahead?"

Xia Feng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and passed through the second membrane.

"Huh? Eek!!!" His mind went blank for a moment, and the scene before him rushed backward like lightning. The wind howled in his ears, and it seemed as if a terrifying suction force was pulling him towards the World Tree!
Startled, he quickly composed himself and glanced down, his pupils shrinking involuntarily. On the vast, desolate land he had flown past, countless humanoid skeletons knelt, swords at their sides. They had horns on their foreheads and bony tails hanging down their backs, a dark mass of them prostrating themselves before the World Tree in the far distance, as if paying homage to the king of heaven and earth, the true god of the world!
As they swept along, these sword-bearing skeletons covered the entire snowfield—hundreds of thousands! Millions! Tens of millions! Densely packed, like a world of bones, both magnificent and terrifying.

Xia Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

But he had no time to think about it anymore, because his speed was doubled under the strange suction force, the surrounding scenery began to distort and turn into a blurry fluid, and his body seemed to be bathed in an invisible force. Even though he didn't need to breathe, he had a suffocating feeling of rapid and difficult breathing.

Soon, he saw vast expanses of gray fog clouds that had accumulated to form mountains, enough to blot out the sky.

The clouds were excited to see him, as if saying that after so many years, they had finally found some fresh food. But the next moment, they seemed to sense something, wilted, and scattered frantically, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would perish.

Clearing away the clouds and mist, Xia Feng made his way unimpeded. Before long, he found the gray halo surrounding the World Tree close at hand, growing larger and larger in his field of vision. Whoosh—

He passed through the third membrane between heaven and earth!
The world spun around him, and he suddenly lost his strength—thump, thump, thump! He fell straight down from the sky, his head throbbing with pain.

"Ouch!!" Xia Feng clutched his forehead and struggled to get up. "Damn it, why does it still hurt so much even in my soul state!"

Looking up, the canopy of the giant tree, reaching straight to the sky, stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Strange, why did Eri suddenly disappear?"

He raised his hand and touched the air in confusion, clearly feeling that the concentration of Eros around him had dropped to near zero, which was distinctly different from the dense sea of ​​fog outside that had formed a tangible mass.

Looking around, he found himself in a field of pansies.

Not far ahead, there is a jade-white path paved with withered bones and remains, with blooming pansies intertwined on both sides, stretching all the way to an unknown end.

Xia Feng walked along the path of white bones for a long time.

Finally, it seemed like the end had been reached. He took a deep breath and parted the flowers. The scene before him made him instinctively stop in his tracks and stiffly tilt his head back.

Embedded in the center of the thick, seemingly endless tree trunk is a pale dragon, now only a skeleton. Its neck, made up of hundreds of bones, is raised high, and even in its slumber, its majestic head remains held high. Its solid bone claws tread on the earth paved with strange stones, and the ground is surrounded by an ever-burning blue fire.

Below the desolate dragon skeleton was a black and gold throne, upon which sat a gray-haired woman with her eyes closed!

She sat quietly with her hands clasped in front of her knees, dressed in a light gray gauze dress adorned with misty light. She exuded a mysterious and serene aura, like a proud goddess dwelling alone in the moon palace.

But at this moment, her head was slightly lowered and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she had fallen into an eternal sleep from which she could not awaken.

"Could she be the evil dragon?" Xia Feng took a deep breath and tentatively approached step by step.

The woman did not react, and there was no barrier around her.

As he got a little closer, Xia Feng was able to see the woman's full face.

The woman's soft, cloud-gray hair cascaded lazily over her shoulders and neck. A dark gold cross was carved on her forehead. Below the cross, on the left side of her face, eerie, crystalline white dragon scales extended to the corners of her upturned eyes, while on the right side, she was holy and beautiful, pure and untouched by the dust of the world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Xia Feng's expression changed, and he clutched his chest. His dark eyes widened in shock, and his heart suddenly started pounding wildly, as if it were dancing wildly in his mind.

Oops, it’s a heart-pounding feeling!
The thrill of seeing such exquisite food and wanting to immediately show it off!

"Thump—" Xia Feng stared intently at the woman less than ten meters away. The evil energy emanating from the woman could no longer be described as strong or fragrant.

She seemed to be a humanoid entity formed entirely from the 'Sea of ​​Calamity Liquid', and the allure contained within her drove Xia Feng almost mad!

"Snapped!"

Xia Feng slapped himself hard on the right cheek, forced himself back two steps, and gasped for breath while supporting himself on his knees.

After a while, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up. It seemed that ten meters was a limit.

Once you enter within ten meters, you will sense the endless malevolent power of this evil dragon and be aroused with a mad appetite.

Xia Feng sighed, staring intently at the woman on the throne with a puzzled look. "Um, Miss Evil Dragon, are you awake? If you are, please say something?"

woman:"."

"Hello, hello? Miss Evil Dragon, can you hear me?" Xia Feng shouted.

woman:"."

"Miss Evil Dragon, can I ask you something? I need to absorb a tiny bit of your evil energy. Are you willing?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

woman:"."

"Very well, thank you for your generous gift!" Xia Feng clasped his hands together and bowed. "I will repay this great kindness tenfold in the future!"

rustling—

A strange rustling sound of leaves rang out, startling Xia Feng. Feeling guilty, he quickly retreated dozens of meters and assumed a defensive stance.

"Who?!"

No one responded.

He looked up in confusion, searched carefully, and suddenly discovered that there was one perched on a branch high up.
crow?

The crow was no bigger than three palms, entirely black, with its eyes slightly closed and its claws perched quietly on the branch.

Xia Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly; he didn't believe that the black crows that appeared here could be ordinary animals.

"Hey, Miss Evil Dragon is asleep, you must be awake, right?" Xia Feng shouted.

Sure enough, the black crow slowly opened its eyes, its two dark star-like pupils indifferent, silently looking down at the humans under the tree.

Its beak opened and closed, uttering human speech in a cold and indifferent tone:
"Human, do you see that path of withered bones from where we came from? That's the fate of all those who have intruded over the past tens of thousands of years. If you don't want to die, don't enter His evil field. Go back the way you came."

Xia Feng blinked and said seriously, "So you mean, if I still want to go in, you won't stop me?"

Seeing that this foolish human wouldn't listen to reason, Black Crow glanced at him calmly, too lazy to say anything more, slowly closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

Great, since they won't stop us, there's nothing more to say, let's go!
Xia Feng took a deep breath and stepped forward!
"Uh--"

His face flushed instantly, his heart raced, a buzzing tinnitus filled his ears, and his breathing became rapid. "Thump!"

With his dark eyes fixed on the gray-haired woman on the distant throne, Xia Feng tried his best to restrain his desires and slowly approached her step by step.

When he arrived beneath the throne, he managed to adapt to the frenzied state of heightened desire, and his gaze regained some composure.

That's why he noticed that beside the woman's bare, snow-white feet, hung a pale white dragon tail as sharp and hard as silver armor.

Xia Feng shifted his gaze from her dragon tail and snowy feet, and looked up. At such close range, he could personally feel the alluring figure of the Evil Dragon Miss, like a delicacy made from a vast and boundless sea of ​​Calamity Spirit Liquid. Just one lick would be enough to excite him for a long time!

With his mind wandering, Xia Feng climbed the steps.

Finally, he easily reached the throne, and the evil dragon approached!

Rustling sound!
At that moment, the black crow that had been about to continue sleeping on the branch suddenly opened its eyes again, its dark eyes showing great surprise.
