I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 67. Keep Blowing

Blood moon, deep in the dense forest.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, darted and moved about within them.

The figure in the black dress suddenly stopped, pressed against the tree trunk, lowered her head, and shook her face, seemingly in a daze.

Xia Feng had to stop, looking at Mu Qingtong's pretty face, which was covered in a cold sweat, with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Qingtong raised her beautiful eyes, her unfocused pale golden pupils regaining focus as she stared at Xia Feng expressionlessly.

Xia Feng blinked, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I almost forgot."

He subconsciously felt that the World-Destroying Witch was very powerful, so he didn't think much about the impact of the Calamity on her. But even Mu Qingtong couldn't withstand such a long period of Calamity's erosion.

Thinking of this, he raised his chin, his dark eyes sweeping over the woman in the black dress, and smiled: "I must say, Miss Mu, you're quite weak, aren't you?"

Mu Qingtong: ".!"

[Throughout my life, I, Mu Qingtong, have never been inferior to anyone! A flash of inspiration struck, and after a preliminary analysis of the molecular structure of the Calamity Force, I optimized and improved the D-grade Calamity-Exorcising Robe. You have successfully mastered the D-grade Robe, the 'Bronze Robe'.]

【D·Bronze Robe】

【Function 1: Five times more effective at filtering evil spirits than ordinary protective garments】

[Effect 2: Your movements will be more agile, and your speed will increase by 20%]

Mu Qingtong glanced at Xia Feng with her beautiful eyes and continued walking: "Let's go."

Xia Feng smiled and followed.

“Miss Mu, if you can't do it, you can tell me. You don't have to force yourself. Also—”

"Are you going to say another word?"

What I'm trying to say is, you're going the wrong way, this is the way.

"."

The two continued onward, and the address marked on the back of the photo indicated that their contact, Big Face Cat, would be waiting for them under the Wisdom Tree numbered 004.

Every year, the Six-Tailed Society explores the Evil Dragon Forest. When they find a Wisdom Tree, they mark it with a number, thus creating a map of the outer perimeter of the Evil Dragon Forest.

Xia Feng had seen the Wisdom Tree diagram of the Six-Tailed Society when he entered the Evil Dragon Forest last time, and he roughly remembered the location of 004.

The distance was very far; he estimated that even traveling at full speed would take about ten hours.

Three hours later.

"Miss Mu, can you still hold on?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

"Sigh, just keep going, you'll have to do it."

[Trying to hold on? What a joke! A flash of inspiration struck again. After further analyzing the molecular structure of the Evil Force, you optimized and improved the D-grade Bronze Robe, and successfully mastered the C-grade Spirit Robe 'Bronze Spirit Garment']

【C·Bronze Spirit Robe】

[Products from Qing Tong are guaranteed to be of the highest quality]

【Function 1: Powerful filtration of evil, ten times more effective at filtering evil than ordinary warding garments】

[Function 2: Lightness, your movements become lighter, speed increased by 50%]

[Function 3: Virtual Pressure, can simulate a virtual spiritual pressure 1 to 10 times greater than one's own to intimidate the target.]

Xia Feng stopped in his tracks and glanced at Mu Qingtong.

Seeing that he had stopped for the first time, the woman in the black dress calmly asked, "What's wrong? You can't take it anymore?"

"Ha~"

Xia Feng was also inspired, and he refused to believe that this witch could keep up the fight forever!
"Come!"

Even though they were both a little out of breath, the two sped up again, and the battle became even more intense.

However, not long after, Xia Feng seemed to sense something, took out the location card and looked at it, and was surprised to find that the red and blue dots on the location card were almost overlapping.

So, player number 11 has already reached area 51? And may have even entered the Evil Dragon Forest?
It seems Number 11's identity isn't simple; he might have some connection to the military, since only then could he enter the forest directly on non-open days. But that's not important anymore.

Now that Number 11 has caught up with us, we should naturally treat this guest well.
While pondering, Xia Feng looked at the woman in the black dress: "Miss Mu, how are your preparations for advancing to the second tier of spiritual materials coming along?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Just asking out of curiosity, you weren't going to tell me this, were you?"

"It's almost ready. The Ice Silkworm Silk, three Life Fruits, and the Spirit of Wood Calamity are all prepared, but the Jupiter Flower is in short supply right now. According to the information I've received, the Wood Demon Calamity in the Southern Frontier may have Jupiter Flowers in bloom in a few days."

Oh wow, we're still missing the Jupiter Flower.
Hearing this, Xia Feng was about to speak when he frowned and looked back. He sensed a very active Evil Force rapidly approaching from behind.

Looking at the location card, it wasn't number 11, so it could only be pursuers sent by the King.

"Shh~"

Xia Feng pointed behind him, gesturing with his eyes.

Mu Qingtong immediately understood, and the two used concealment techniques and bronze masks to hide in the forest, remaining motionless.

Soon, a black-robed man wearing a white mask with a red "8" on it swept to the spot where the two had been standing, looking around in confusion, "Where is he?"

"Whoosh-"

Just then, two dark figures flashed by in the distance and disappeared without a trace.

The eight-faced man reacted quickly, his figure vanishing in a flash as he gave chase.

After everyone had walked away, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared standing quietly on the giant tree beside them.

The woman in the black dress looked thoughtful: "Judging from the footwork he used, it seems to be the Instant Step technique that only a second-tier spiritual master can learn."

"And he's a highly corrupted one at that." Xia Feng nodded. "I wasted two of my wooden soldiers, hopefully that can buy him some time. Let's go!"

The two flew away in opposite directions.

"Where is this going?"

Mu Qingtong asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we deal with this eight-faced man first?"

"We'll deal with the pursuers, of course, but to be on the safe side, let me take you to level up first."

"upgrade?"

"Yes. Miss Mu, to be honest, after all this time you're still only at level one, as your fiancé, I really can't stand it anymore!"

Xia Feng glanced at the woman in the black dress, shaking his head helplessly with a look of disappointment. "You're just too weak! So I'll reluctantly help you advance to the second tier."

Mu Qingtong calmly observed her junior with her pale golden eyes, "Heh~"

She knew that her idiot fiancé was just spouting nonsense and provoking her again, but she couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

"You should advance to the second tier first," she said casually.

Xia Feng shook his head and said calmly, "Advancing to the second tier is as easy for me as eating and drinking. I'm not advancing now simply because I don't want to."

"."

Seeing Xia Feng's confident demeanor, Mu Qingtong frowned slightly, her golden eyes filled with suspicion, "You've collected all the spiritual materials? Your spiritual materials aren't easy to collect, are they?"

Both of them have reached the standard for advancement in spiritual pressure. Now they are just missing spiritual materials, and many people are often stuck at this step for several years.

After all, finding a suitable formula for spiritual materials is not an easy task, and even if you find all the materials, there is still a 30% risk of failing the advancement.

If you fail, you have to start collecting materials all over again.

"Of course I didn't collect them all."

Xia Feng shook his head and said, "But advancing to the level of a Spirit Master is like crossing a river. Spiritual materials are just a bridge to cross the river. Even if you don't have spiritual materials, you can still cross the river. You can just swim across."

"It just means the probability of being swept away by the river becomes infinitely high." Xia Feng looked up at the moon, looking like a lone wolf seeking victory. "But I am a genius who can cross the river 100% without needing a bridge!"

"Haha~"

Mu Qingtong smiled politely, her expression one of utter helplessness: "Keep bragging, I'll admit defeat if you believe a word I say."
