Chapter 74: An Unforeseen Event (2/2)

There were too many elemental energy needles being added to the mass.

Ai Hui trembled with fear when he saw the mass of elemental energy needles that was continuously expanding. No matter how hard he tried to channel his natal residence, he could not absorb the slightest bit of the mass of needles.

Ai Hui’s natal residence simply did not have the capacity to absorb such high-level metal elemental energy.

As Ai Hui saw his natal residence being filled up bit by bit, he started to feel uncertain. He would soon implode and die while his natal residence would be stuffed to death.

The only thing that comforted him was that the mass of elemental energy needles was currently not actually harmful.

When Ai Hui saw that his natal residence was completely stuffed, his heart sank. Previously, he could at least control one or two elemental energy needles, but this mass of elemental energy needles was totally out of his control. No matter how hard he tried to move it with his natal residence, it just wouldn’t bulge.

Bang! He slammed heavily against a wall. Wait…he had been blown upward; how could he have possibly slammed against a wall?

A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face!

The top level of the pagoda—they had been blown all the way up to the top level of the pagoda!.

Indeed, the metal wind was pressing the both of them to the ceiling of the pagoda, all the while making them feel as if they were being slashed by many sharp swords.

Yet it was currently a chance for Ai Hui to escape from this seemingly impossible situation. The metal wind was so fierce that he could not open his eyes; however, he could still feel the direction of the wind. There were five air vents in the top level of the pagoda, and they could escape out of any one.

At this point of time, he recovered some of his physical strength.

He followed the direction of the wind and inched sideways while sticking to the ceiling of the pagoda. The wind was incredibly powerful, making him feel as if there was a giant hand pressing firmly against his body.

Meanwhile, behind him, Duanmu Huanghun remained unconscious and covered with blood. This fellow had an affinity with the wood attribute, and since Metal chopped Wood, being ravaged by the metal wind for such a long time was akin to receiving a torture; even if he were conscious, he would still be injured severely.

At this point of time, Ai Hui had stopped complaining about Duanmu Huanghun and merely hoped that he would survive. He had developed this mentality after braving through such a catastrophe together. He did not care about anything but surviving.

Carrying the wretched Duanmu Huanghun, Ai Hui tried his best to move towards the air vent.

After a while, he established that he was moving in the right direction. He no longer needed to move by himself as the strong wind was pushing him towards the air vent.

This was because the wind became stronger as he drew closer to the air vent.

Ai Hui protected his head from smashing into the edges of the air vent by curling his body into a ball. Even if he had a big and robust physique, it would still be extremely dangerous to crash into the edges of the air vent because of the fierce winds.

“Classmate Bangwan, I’m afraid you’ll have to fend for yourself,” Ai Hui muttered to himself.

Finally! They were about to be out!

Ai Hui was filled with joy as he had gained a new lease of life. Even though he could not open his eyes, he could feel the light grow increasingly bright.

This meant that he was gradually approaching the air vent.

At this point of time, he completely lost control of his body, and it was as if he was going to be extruded out of the air vent by a powerful stream of air.

Bang!

He felt his arm slam into something, and he was engulfed in a world of darkness.

The last thought he had before he lost consciousness was...

I can’t be that unlucky, right?
