"78. The Leopard Spotted Octopus."

He had traveled with Melinda for so long, had lived and died with her, and had developed feelings for her. Naturally, he had already heard most of the information about Andrea from her. Of course, most of it was on the surface, so it didn't include privacy.

When Ji Feng saw Andrea, she was leading an adventure team to fight against an adult horned fire qilin. The Unicorn Flame Unicorn was a magical beast of the eighth rank, an extremely powerful fire-type magical beast. Of course, it was also because of its power that people coveted the crystal core in its body. The crystal embedded in the Horned Fire Qilin's magic weapon had a very good effect. When embedded in the weapon, it could give the weapon a resistance to fire-type magic. But inlaid on the magical staff, the amount of magic released by fire mages increased by a lot. The increase in quality of the magic staff had a lot to do with it.

This adult Horned Fire Qilin had a very powerful combat ability. It didn't show any signs of defeat even in the face of a siege from six people. Of the six people, two were mages. One was a water mage, one was a metal mage, and the other three were warriors. Two of the mages had two-handed swords, while the other one used a knight's spear. A knight's lance was used on a mount, but this person used it for footwork and was very adept at it. As the saying goes, an inch longer and an inch stronger, he posed the greatest threat to the Unicorn Flame Unicorn. The Horned Fire Qilin wanted to kill him even more, but it couldn't do so due to the existence of others. However, the fireballs it shot gave him a lot of trouble.

Amongst the six of them, Andrea was a dual mage and mage, and her magic was dark wind magic. In the dark and light element magic systems, the smallest differences were the wind and water elements. These two types of magic, whether it was the dark element or the light element, were almost the same. The only difference between the wind element and the water element was the color, but there was no difference at all. Therefore, these two types of magic were called Common Magic.

Because Andrea was also a wind mage, her attacks seemed very strange. In addition, her attacks were the fastest among the six of them.

Because the magical beast they were attacking was of the high rank, two of the six people had already been hit by the fireballs. Their clothes were also left with burn marks on them and their hair was burnt bald. It was probably because they had prepared well enough and did not sustain any heavy injuries.

Ji Feng had no plans to sit back and watch the battle. In fact, no matter which side obtained victory in the end, they would have a high chance of fighting him. Andrea had seen him together with Melinda before, and after the one-horned Fire Qilin won, it would definitely vent its anger on him because of the attacks from Andrea and the others. Furthermore, Ji Feng could clearly tell that Andrea and the others were here to kill this fire elemental magical beast. It must have been well-prepared. Therefore, even though the Single Horned Fire Qilin was on par with the six of them for the time being, Ji Feng could foresee that it would only be a matter of time before it was killed.

Therefore, the monsoon decisively bypassed it. Of course, when he left, he also secretly observed the scene of the battle. He knew that Andrea and the others had discovered him. If they hadn't been entangled by the Unicorn Flame Unicorn, they would definitely have come to inquire about it. He did not know if she had recognized him, because at that time, his curse had not been suppressed.

Ji Feng was not surprised at the appearance of Andrea. Druids revered nature, and the magical beasts in their territory lacked humans as their greatest natural enemy. Over time, the continent had the most magical beasts, and there was no lack of high-level existences.

Human cultivators, on the other hand, needed high-grade monster cores. As a result, many cultivators would stealthily come here to kill high-grade magic beasts in order to obtain the required monster cores. Because the Druids here were all very strong, those that came to hunt high-ranked magic beasts were all high-ranked cultivators. Anyone with a lower cultivation would form a team. Of course, there were also people with noble statuses who came to hunt. This was the situation with Andrea.

As he gradually went deeper, the change in terrain was extremely huge. Sometimes a hill, sometimes a hollow, and then, both hills and a hollow, tall, gloomy trees.

In order to let the Wind Wolf maintain its speed, he had no choice but to use the Floating Technique frequently. It wasn't that he didn't want to give the Wind Wolf freedom. He wanted to catch another Magical Beast as a mount after he left the Druid's territory. However, he immediately thought of the magical beasts that he had caught and needed his guidance. He didn't have that much time. Moreover, this Wind Wolf was extremely fast, and could easily be controlled. Therefore, he could only use more of his psychic power to lighten the burden on the Wind Wolf.

In the evening, Ji Feng saw a huge lake. Due to the obstruction of the forest, he only noticed the lake when he approached it. The water was clear and rippled with the breeze. The incomparably fresh air was filled with an extremely dense amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was the magical element of this world.

Feeling the exceptionally dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, Ji Feng really wanted to make a hut here to cultivate. He believed that it wouldn't be long before his Nameless Art would rise to another level.

Ji Feng looked around. It was very quiet and empty here. Looking around, only the magical beasts of different sizes came over to drink water, as well as the birds circling in the sky. He couldn't even see a single person, let alone see a ship using such a transportation method. Of course, he wouldn't be fooled by this appearance, because this was the Druid's territory. In this world, whether it was magical beasts or plants, it was best not to try to attack them. You might be attacking the natives here. Ji Feng had always kept this in mind, so he hadn't stepped on a single ant along the way. Although this was somewhat excessive, it also reflected the truth of the matter.

Because of Ji Feng's caution, he didn't encounter any attacks from Druids along the way. However, with his strong spiritual force, he could clearly feel that someone was watching him.

Because there was no boat, he could only choose to take a detour around the lake. However, it was already evening. After travelling through the forest for an entire day, he naturally wanted to rest and recover his exhausted spiritual energy. Due to the Nameless Art circulating by itself, his physical strength was not exhausted at all. On the prairie, his method of recovery was to cultivate the Nameless Art. However, although it seemed peaceful here, there were many dangers lurking everywhere. Although he couldn't see the druids, he could sense with his spiritual energy that they were watching him. Moreover, there were also high-level cultivators here who were here to catch high-level magical beasts. No one knew when they would appear.

Moreover, he also discovered a very strange phenomenon. There were many high ranking magical beasts that came to drink water, but these magical beasts didn't show any hostility when they saw him. What made Ji Feng curious was that both low and high level magical beasts were in a hurry. He walked quickly to the lake, gulped water, and then quickly left, as if something threatened them.

This situation made Ji Feng even more vigilant, so he found a clean place to sit down. After eating, he took out an Alchemy book and started flipping through it. This way, he would be able to recover the spiritual energy he had lost during the day, and he would be able to finish reading the book in the ring as soon as possible.

Two hours passed by quickly. The monsoon could feel the light becoming dimmer. He raised his head and saw dark clouds in the sky. According to this trend, it would not be long before the two moons were covered. It seemed like he was going to go down. He wasn't very worried about the rain because he had magic tools to block the rain in his spatial ring. There were only a dozen or so pages left of the book in his hands, and he decided to finish the rest of the page before the moon completely covered it. With this thought, the speed at which he was reading increased uncontrollably.

By the time he finished reading the last word, one of the moons had been completely obscured and the other was almost gone. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the waves on the surface of the lake were also crashing against the shore. The sound was getting louder and louder. Seated on the ground, Ji Feng could feel the tremors that came with the ground, and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air was in chaos as well. He casually threw the book that he finished reading to the side.

As time passed, the moisture in the air became heavier, and he knew that it was not far from raining. Ji Feng took out his magical equipment, and put the remaining crystal into the groove. The barrier that was similar to the barrier separated him and the Wind Wolf from the outside. The protective barrier only isolated the wind and rain, but it did not separate the air from the world's spirit energy. This simple magical item further increased Ji Feng's interest in magical items. He believed that, combined with the knowledge system from Earth, he could quickly master alchemy and making magical tools, and make the corresponding improvements. If he had enough time, he would overturn alchemy and the creation of magic tools, and he would be able to open up a new era.

The heavy rain did not lessen the wind, and the waves on the surface of the lake were like the waves in the sea. When they hit the shore, the water splashed high into the air. The impact to the tall trees on the shore wasn't great, but the leaves and leaves were blown to the side by the wind and rain while Ma's tree trunk remained unchanged.

The thunder and lightning appeared half an hour after the heavy rain started. The dazzling lightning had torn the darkness apart, making the world look very hideous. Then came the deafening sound of thunder. The magic tools that were used to ward off the rain were unable to stop the sound. The power of the world made the Wind Wolf somewhat restless. Had it not been for Ji Feng, it would have instinctively found a place to shelter itself from the rain and watched all of this happen.

At that moment, Ji Feng suddenly felt the Wind Wolf's long fur stand up and its originally drooping tail rise up high. At the same time, its eyes were fixed on the lake.

The Wind Wolf's actions caused even Ji Feng to be on guard. He followed the Wind Wolf's line of sight, but he was still dozens of meters away from the lake. Furthermore, there was no light at all, causing him to be unable to see anything. Even though he couldn't see anything, he was once the strongest fighter on earth after all. Moreover, he currently had extremely dense spiritual energy. His sense of danger was naturally different from that of an ordinary person's. He could feel the danger enveloping him and the Wind Wolf. The Wind Wolf's reaction made Ji Feng understand that humans had many talents that could not be compared with the magical beasts that lived in nature. The only thing that could compare to it was the Druid branch.

Although Druids were known as Druids, the intelligent life forms of the continent still classified them as humans. The name Druid was used to distinguish between different species. For example, beastmen, elves, dwarves, etc.

At this moment, a flash of lightning appeared above his head, tearing another irregular gash in the dark night. The monsoon, which had been staring at the lake, saw a huge octopus. Although the lightning only lasted for a moment, the monsoon still remembered the octopus's face clearly. Each of the octopus's arms were at least forty to fifty meters long, and its body was like a giant wheel. The body surface of the octopus had two colors ? gold and white. Gold and white intertwined, both with palm-sized, irregular patterns. At this moment, the memory of Bonan came into play, and the name of the octopus immediately appeared in Ji Feng's mind ? the leopard spotted octopus.

Although the Panther Spotted Octopus was only a magical beast of the seventh rank, its battle power and destructive power was on par with other magical beasts of the ninth rank. Because it was large enough, its fighting style was very simple. The only option was to spray out the corrosive venom and use the long tentacles to fight. Each of its nine tentacles had a huge suction cup. As long as the enemy was entangled by the tentacle, they would be firmly caught by the suction cup and then sent into its stomach.

Therefore, even high-level cultivators would not want to mess with such an existence, even if it had extremely high quality water-type monster cores. However, there were very few people coveting it. Moreover, it had no natural enemies at all. As long as he didn't leave the water for too long, his life would not be in danger.

After the lightning disappeared, the darkness grew even darker. Although he knew that the Panther Spotted Octopus was approaching the shore and could sense the danger, he could not see the situation clearly.

At this moment, he was looking forward to the lightning more than ever. Fortunately, the lightning did not make him wait for long. In just a few minutes, he would appear again. When the lightning flashed, Ji Feng saw that the panther and octopus had landed on the shore. And it was moving in his direction. Wherever it went, the originally lush grasslands were completely destroyed.

The monsoon estimated the time. Based on the speed that the octopus was showing, it would arrive in front of him in at most five minutes. Furthermore, the Panther Spotted Octopus did not seem to have changed its route. He made up his mind and quickly took off his clothes and stuffed them into the interspatial ring. He then stored the magical instruments inside the ring. The downpour hit him right away and his remaining underwear was immediately soaked. The Wind Wolf's magic also instantly stuck together and flowed downwards.

The man and the wolf left the area as fast as they could, avoiding the path of the octopus, and ran into the forest. As long as they entered the forest, even if the Panther Spotted Octopus followed them, they had a high chance of avoiding it. Because the leopard spotted octopus is too big. Traveling between Ma's trees is bound to be affected.

Due to the heavy rain, the ground was covered in mud, and Ji Feng had to cast the Floating Spell on himself. The Wind Wolf's speed was also very fast. It was almost at the same speed as Ji Feng. Although there was no light, the huge trees were still indistinct, and the leaves were rustling in the wind and rain. The waves of the lake lapped heavily against the shore. Combined with this, even if there was no light, they would not make a directional mistake.

Just as they were about to enter the forest, the Wind Wolf suddenly stopped. Ji Feng also sensed the danger ahead and stopped abruptly. At the same time, a bolt of lightning flashed. With the help of the light, Ji Feng saw dozens of huge snakes as thick as buckets lying in front of him. All of their triangular heads were pointed at them, and lightning flashed in their cold eyes. When the lightning flashed, the two large snakes dashed towards him and the Wind Wolf respectively.
