Chapter 182: Failure
After putting away the Sky Net Umbrella in his hand, Song Qingming stepped into this wind wall again. This time, he did not use the magic treasure to block in front of him. His body directly faced the blowing breeze and began to walk forward step by step slowly.
After a few steps, he also gradually felt that although the wind force in front was gradually strengthening, it was significantly weaker than when he was carrying the Sky Net Umbrella just now.
Sure enough, using a magic treasure to protect himself here would also increase the range he was blown by the wind, so the wind force he needed to bear naturally strengthened a lot. This was also the reason why the giant ape puppet could walk further than him just now.
After walking another ten steps, as the wind force gradually strengthened, Song Qingming was also forced to release the Xuanguang Armor in his body. This kind of defense formed by magic power directly covering his body would also not be affected here.
Facing the increasingly strong wind force in front, Song Qingming tried his best to maintain the Xuanguang Armor on his body, one step, two steps, ten steps, twenty steps... only the last ten steps left.
Just as Song Qingming got closer and closer to the end, the wind force he felt at this time gradually strengthened to the limit that the Xuanguang Armor could bear. Bursts of wind blades began to cut open this defense and hurt Song Qingming's flesh, soon causing several openings on his body.
The strong wind in front constantly cut the Xuanguang Armor protecting Song Qingming, which also made the consumption of magic power in his body increase a lot instantly. Plus, when he crossed the small river blocked by poisonous mist earlier, Song Qingming's body also inhaled some poisonous gas, which had not been completely excluded from the body, forcing him to have to separate part of his magic power to suppress these toxins, not letting them enter his internal organs. Soon, the magic power in Song Qingming's body had been consumed by more than half.
At this moment, Song Qingming had to take out an elixir to help restore magic power from the storage bag and swallow it into his mouth, and began to use magic power to activate the remnant map on his chest to speed up his absorption of surrounding spiritual energy. Only then did he slow down the rapid loss of magic power in his body. Although the remnant map here could help him continuously replenish magic power, it was still much worse than the speed of his magic power loss at this moment, and it couldn't help him persist here for too long.
Not only was the threat of wind blades, but the strong wind blowing in his face already made him feel like he had a thousand-jin boulder tied to his legs, and it was very difficult for his whole body to move forward again. The remaining distance of less than ten steps was like stars in the sky, making him always feel a bit out of reach.
After another incense stick of time, Song Qingming only insisted on walking two more steps forward. The magic power in his body could no longer maintain the Xuanguang Armor on his body, and finally, he had to retreat from the wind wall helplessly again.
Unexpectedly, just these ten steps of road right in front of him, Song Qingming finally couldn't persist. After walking out of the wind wall, he couldn't help but sit on the ground in disappointment.
This level mainly tests the magic power in the cultivator's body. If he were allowed to fully restore his state and then given another chance, relying on the help of the remnant map, Song Qingming would still have some confidence to break through this level.
It's just a pity that the time he had left was not enough. Just as he came out of the wind wall, the sky that was empty just now had already been drawn with a long golden streak. At most, in the time of an incense stick, he must go out first.
"Your Highness, that kid hasn't come out yet. He won't die inside, right? Why don't I go in and find him to see." On the yellow bald dirt slope outside the secret realm, looking at the golden crack not far ahead that still had no movement, Long Feng respectfully said to Fire Phoenix in front of him.
Fire Phoenix shook her head and said: "You go in now, it will definitely be very difficult to find him in a short time. After the secret realm is opened this time, we have to wait at least two months before the secret realm can be opened again. It is too dangerous, let's wait a little longer!"
Not long after the two finished speaking, a black figure suddenly drilled out of the crack and fell in front of them. It was Song Qingming who had just recovered some magic power.
At this time, his face was a bit pale, the clothes he was wearing were dusty, and there were more than a dozen not-so-small holes and blood stains on his body, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.
Fire Phoenix looked at Song Qingming in surprise, then walked calmly to Song Qingming.
Looking at the red-clothed woman who walked to his front, Song Qingming coughed lightly and said: "I have already found Bailin Valley, but when I found that place, the time you gave me was not enough. Plus, I was already injured, so I finally didn't break through the restriction at the valley entrance."
Not being able to get that spirit object, Song Qingming naturally couldn't deceive the other party. Anyway, he would have to face it sooner or later, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth directly.
Looking at Fire Phoenix, who had been silent and always cold, Song Qingming felt very tormented in his heart at this moment, not knowing how she would deal with him next.
"You have already tried the Violent Wind Array at the valley entrance?"
After a long while, a cold voice that was a bit light came from Fire Phoenix's mouth, which also pulled Song Qingming, who was thinking wildly, back to reality.
"Indeed, the scars on my body were left there." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he pointed to the positions on his body that were cut by those wind blades.
After listening, Fire Phoenix nodded secretly. Immediately after, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and she said to Long Feng on the side: "Take him back first, we will come here again in two months."
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, is it that after I help you get the Fire Scale Fruit, you can let me go back?" Song Qingming gritted his teeth and struggled for a while, then asked the question that had been tormenting him for many days.
Ever since he was caught by them, Song Qingming had been thinking about how to escape from here all the time. It's just that in the eyes of so many high-level Demon Kings, he really didn't have much chance.
Now, no matter what, he could be considered to have done his best to help them do things. He didn't know if he could exchange for a chance to leave.
"As long as you can help me get the things I want, I will send you away from here. Killing you, a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, has no meaning to me. You can just do things with peace of mind. As long as I promise you, I will definitely do it."
"Then thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely do my best to serve you."
After listening to Fire Phoenix's words, Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. A figure like her, a demon emperor, shouldn't be able to fool a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, right?
Just after Song Qingming finished speaking, Long Feng had already walked to his front. With a burst of whirlwind blowing, after another dark and sunless journey, Song Qingming returned to the cave where he was imprisoned earlier.
