âShe knows youâre dead and is heartbroken.â
âIâll go look for her now!â Ling Yun said immediately.â
âBe careful when you go out. Donât let anyone see you. Itâs best if you emerge from the water.â
âI know. I will be careful!!â
âMm, hurry up and go. Otherwise, that girl will cry her heart out. It wonât be good if she dies for love.â
âHahahaha, then I have to hurry!â
Ling Yun didnât go out alone. He was with his clones, so no one noticed that he dived into the water.
Feng Jiuâs face was still filled with grief. Even though she was a female general with a strong will, Feng Jiu, who had never been in a romantic relationship before, was touched by Ling Yunâs heroic act of saving the damsel in distress. He even felt his heart flutter.
However, the next second, it was actually a life-and-death separation. Such a huge fluctuation of emotions was difficult for her to process.
âLing Yun, I hope you have a good journey.â
âHey, I saved you, and youâre still cursing me!â Ling Yun emerged from the water with a smile on his face.
Feng Jiu was shocked when he saw Ling Yun appear in front of her. Then, her face was filled with joy.
âAlright, stop crying. Iâm hungry. Hurry up and cook for me. Iâll help you start a fire.â
âYes!â Feng Jiu cried tears of joy.
...
At the door, Nan Zuo and Bai Xiaosa stood there looking at Ling Yun and Feng Jiu with complicated expressions.
After a long time, Bai Xiaosa sighed.
âWhatâs wrong?â Ling Feng smiled.
âIâm fine.â
Ling Feng smiled, but Bai Xiaosaâs face was full of melancholy.
The rain continued to fall. Ling Feng marveled at the fact that there was a hole in the sky that could actually last so long.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The water outside the house was about five to six meters high. Ling Feng would go out hunting every night and bring back an ingredient to store in the warehouse as reserve food.
These days, he had transmuted many strange creatures, which had reduced the number of strange creatures in the surroundings by quite a lot. He also had to go to other places to hunt.
It was another moonless and starless night. The sky was pitch-black.
Ling Feng caught all the ghouls in the surroundings and planned to go back and use the soul-refining technique to refine them into soul pearls. Then, he planned to go to a further place to hunt because he had killed all the beasts in the surroundings. There was a huge flood here, and many beasts had nowhere to stand. Most of them drowned in the flood, while Ling Feng killed some.
Today, he planned to go hunting in a farther place.
âFollow this direction. This is the map that the village chief gave us. The next village seems to be 50 miles in this direction.â
Ling Feng walked forward. The road was exceptionally quiet.
Suddenly, a claw reached out from the water and grabbed his ankle firmly.
Ling Feng frowned slightly and stomped his foot. The surface of the water instantly froze, and the beasts under the water were also frozen.
He stomped his foot again, and the ice surface suddenly split open. The ferocious beast that had been frozen earlier was now in pieces.
âCongratulations on killing Long-Clawed Beast. You have received 13000 Level Points.â
There were all kinds of fish and ferocious beasts in the water. Ling Feng was not surprised and continued to walk. He directly let the ice element clone freeze the entire road. He immediately broke into a run.
âThis way, we wonât have to worry about the ferocious underwater beasts.â
He ran as fast as his legs could carry him and soon saw a village in front of him.
This was Langxi Village, built beside a river called Langxi River. There were about a thousand people in the village that had now become a lake. Only the rooftops and treetops could be seen.
âI wonder if the stone tablet in this village is still here.â
After saying that, he asked his clone to go into the water to look for it.
Generally speaking, the village that led to the Yun Nation was vast, so it meant the Soul Suppressing Stele would not be too small. Even if it were not as large as the ones in Liu Village, it shouldnât be too small, so it would not be too difficult to find.
Not long after, good news came. A few clones had found the Soul Suppressing Stele.
âBring it back!â
Seeing the Soul Suppressing Stele in front of him, Ling Feng gathered his soul power in his eyes and found some unrecognizable words before he was relieved.
He had gained a lot today and was prepared to go back now. The way home was unremarkable, and nothing happened.
In the room, Ling Feng said, âSystem, translate the text!â
The system said, âTranslated text requires 1 million upgrade points. Confirm?â
âConfirm,â the man said firmly.
The next moment, the translation was completed, and all the information flowed into Ling Fengâs mind.
The Soul Slaying Curse could gather the power of the soul and then attack the targetâs soul.
This was an attack that targeted the soul. With this thought in mind, Ling Feng condensed his mental power into a knife, which turned into a sword. As long as he thought about it, he could control this sword. However, the distance was not great. His current ability only allowed him to control it within ten meters. âThis Soul Slaying Technique can attack the soul. Itâs indeed very convenient.â Up until now, he possessed four types of soul techniques.
âThere are still quite a few Soul-Suppressing Steles. I have to speed up a little. I have to learn all the soul techniques.â
At this moment, a loud commotion came from outside. Ling Feng walked out of the room.
âWhat happened
âThere are some things floating over,â Bai Xiaosa said immediately. âThe corpses of ferocious beasts and humans, as well as wooden blocks and some daily necessities.
âThe wooden blocks can be left behind, but these corpses have been in the water for too long. Itâs already scary enough. Iâll get someone to burn them.â âYes.â Ling Feng agreed with them.
But the situation was getting worse and worse. Would the world eventually be flooded entirely?
Ling Feng looked up at the sky. It was still raining in the cloudy sky.
Yang Capital of the Yun Nation.
The city was built on a mountain peak, and clouds and mist lingered around it like immortal qi.
At this moment, thick dark clouds gathered above the capital.
In the palace, a slender figure stood in front of the window. This figure was a slender woman dressed in luxurious clothes and a crown. Behind her stood a tall minister.
The woman looked at the sky outside the window and stretched out her hand. The raindrops fell on her hand. It felt a little cold. She sighed silently.
âWhen will the rain stop?â
âYour Majesty, according to usual, this rain should last for 300 days.â âThe place outside the capital will become a vast ocean after 300 days.â
âIIS there a way to stop the rain?
âThere is a way, but humans cannot interfere.â
âWhat method is it?â
â1 donât mow.â
âI donât know what youâ re talking about. I really donât know why Iâm even keeping you here.â
âI will take my leave.â
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. In that period, Ling Feng was like a career man, going out to hunt every day before dark.
Leveling points increased in the millions, but the only regret was that no new Soul Suppressing Steles appeared. He was a little depressed now. The mundane life of going out to fight monsters daily made him depressed, and he could only vent all these emotions on the beasts..
