Devour: Emperor Yan

woohoo~

A fierce wind howled, carrying with it many flying stones.

As they got closer to the center of the canyon, the wind grew stronger and stronger.

Luo Feng led the way and came to a rock wall. He suddenly lifted a rock, revealing a cave.

He even used his mind to transmit a message: "Everyone, hurry up and go in. This cave is directly connected to the top of the canyon wall, making it easier to obtain the Windstone."

"You can even find a place like this?" Thor couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Go in." Lin Kun went in first, followed closely by Hong.

The group quickly filed in, forming a queue.

Luo Feng was the last to enter and covered the rock again.

Walking up the cave leads directly to a mountain wall where the wind howls, and there's a small opening about thirty centimeters wide in the wall. That's a good spot to wait for a rock to fall into your trap.

Hiding inside a cave, you don't have to worry about suddenly being struck by lightning.

"Huh?" Lin Kun, who was walking in front, bent down and picked up a stone.

"It's a Windstone." Thor's eyes lit up. "We've found another one."

Lin Kun glanced at it and then tossed it to Hong, who was behind him and seemed a little curious.

The short cave soon came to an end.

"This really does seem to be a place with excellent feng shui." Lin Kun smiled as he walked to the small cave entrance and peered out.

Outside the opening, which was only about 30 centimeters in diameter, the wind howled and the air was filled with the wailing of ghosts and wolves, creating a scene of utter darkness.

Inside the cave, the wind was very gentle, making it a safe and pleasant place.

Lin Kun observed for a while, then turned to the group and said, "The location is indeed good, but trying to extract a stone from the wind won't be easy."

Standing guard at the cave entrance, trying to grab those wind-shaped stones that are rapidly flying towards the cave entrance requires luck, as well as strength, eyesight, and reaction speed.

Outside, the wind howled, the sky was dark, and visibility was extremely poor.

The gale was accompanied by a large amount of flying gravel, and only occasionally would one or two wind-pointing stones be found among these gravel, so luck was required.

The wind-blown stone flew past the cave entrance in just a moment!

You must spot it instantly and react immediately to seize it; once you miss it, you have to wait, and it may be a long time before the next opportunity comes.

Luo Feng stepped forward and released his mental energy to try it out.

He quickly shook his head. "This gale is too terrifying. My mental energy can only stay within about twenty centimeters of the cave entrance."

"Let me give it a try." Ao Gu stepped forward and released his psychic power to form a 'psychic hand' that reached out.

Soon, Ao Gu also withdrew his psychic power and shook his head, "My psychic hand can only extend about a meter without dissipating. Any further, and I can't maintain the stability of my psychic power."

"The furthest it goes is only one meter? The probability of obtaining a Windstone must be very low," Hong said, frowning.

Thor nodded as well.

It's like casting a net to catch fish; naturally, the wider the net is cast, the more likely you are to catch a big fish.

"Let's try the Cloud Vine," Lin Kun said after thinking for a moment.

With a thought, the Cloud Vine, already at the sixth level of the Universe Realm, extended a shrunken, resilient vine tentacle, which shot out towards the outside of the cave with lightning speed.

"It's actually a cosmic-level Cloud Vine?!" Luo Feng and the others were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and shock.

"Yes, it's a sixth-order cosmic-level creature." Lin Kun nodded with a smile. "It took me almost all of my wealth and hundreds of years to cultivate it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the others couldn't help but sigh with envy.

Especially Luo Feng and Hong.

They were well aware of how difficult and expensive it was to cultivate the Moyun Vine.

The thought of cultivating someone to the sixth rank at the cosmic level is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Everyone knows that the 'Moyun Vine' is good, but very few people can afford to buy it and cultivate it.

Many powerful families and influential figures cannot afford to play this game.

After all, the cost of purchasing the Moyun Vine seeds and cultivating them to the Eternal Star level is enough to buy a large group of Eternal Star level 9 slaves.

The Moyun Vine is a luxury item in the universe!

Moreover, for most people, it is still a luxury item with a very low cost-performance ratio.

Whether it's more worthwhile to cultivate a single Eternal Star-level Cloud Vine or to use that money to buy a large group of Eternal Star-level Rank 9 slaves as bodyguards is a matter of opinion.

As for cultivating the Cloud Vine to the cosmic level, that would make many so-called tycoons turn pale and reluctant to part with it.

......

"The Cloud Vine, tsk tsk." Thor looked on with envy.

Of the four brothers, he was the only one who didn't have the Moyun Vine.

No matter how expensive this thing is, it can really save your life in a critical moment.

It's like having an extra layer of defense.

Just like before, when they were suddenly attacked by that golden monster bird, Luo Feng and Hong were unharmed because they had the Moyun Vine to withstand the impact.

Thor almost died because he didn't have the protective layer of the Cloud Vine.

Therefore, when it comes to something as crucial as saving one's life, discussing whether it's cost-effective or not is meaningless in Thor's eyes.

"If you want one, just save up and buy a seedling to grow," Lin Kun said with a smile.

"I definitely want it, but it's too expensive. I don't dare to even think about it right now. I can't afford it." Thor clicked his tongue and shook his head.

......

Ok?

A moment later, Lin Kun raised an eyebrow. "Good luck, I got it."

"Oh?" Luo Feng and the others were all invigorated.

Swish!

The extended vine tendril quickly retracted, with a wind-corner stone coiled within it.

"We succeeded!" Luo Feng and the others exclaimed with some surprise.

They had only been in Wind and Thunder Canyon for less than a day, yet they had already successfully obtained three Windhorn Stones, meaning that one of them had already completed the apprentice mercenary mission.

This speed is definitely among the best of all the adventure teams in Wind and Thunder Canyon.

"The power of the gale outside is terrifying. Even the sixth-order universe-level Moyun Vine can only penetrate less than a hundred meters into it and cannot last for long," Lin Kun said with a shake of his head.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the others couldn't help but look at the vine swaying gently in the air.

The sixth-order cosmic-level Cloud Vine is undoubtedly extremely tough. Even if they, as celestial beings, used all their strength, they probably wouldn't be able to scratch it at all.

Now, this vine, which has only been exposed to the gale for a short time, is already covered in scars.

Despite this, the result was good.

Given the self-repairing speed of the Moyun Vine, this injury will heal in no time.

"I'll give it a try." Luo Feng licked his lips and used his own Cloud Vine.

His Cloud-Piercing Vine, now at the fourth level of the Eternal Star, shrank and then darted out of the cave entrance with lightning speed, stretching into the raging wind.

Then it was quickly withdrawn.

The group looked over.

Although the vine was covered in wounds, it was rapidly healing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Cloud-Piercing Vine can indeed be used to capture Wind-Cornering Stones," Luo Feng said with a smile. "Although my Cloud-Piercing Vine can only penetrate to a depth of about two meters, as long as a Wind-Cornering Stone is found within that distance, this amount of time is enough to capture it and bring it back."

"Great, as long as we have a solution, that's good." Thor clapped his hands. "The rest is just a matter of time."

"really."

"With my brother's sixth-tier universe-level Moyun Vine and my fourth-tier eternal star-level Moyun Vine, we can take turns guarding and keeping watch. I think we'll be able to complete the mission in no time," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Yes." They all nodded with smiles.

"Then let's take turns waiting for the stone to come to us."

Lin Kun sat down, his gaze fixed on the outside of the cave entrance. A vine swayed gently beside him, ready to reach out at any moment. "I'll go first."

"Okay, big brother, you go first. We'll all get a good rest first. For the past two months, we've been on edge all the time, constantly on edge, and it's really been a long time since we've had a proper rest." Luo Feng stretched.
