The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 124 Devouring
"Just to keep me fed. That's a ridiculous reason."

Chen Tianfeng stood up and walked under the oak tree. He reached out to touch the trunk and felt the familiar energy without any surprise - it was the energy he had been consuming these days.

Chaotic and small, they gather together, like sand gathering to form a tower and water gathering to form a sea, and then this tree is formed, an oak tree formed by the power of faith that is so huge that it is unimaginable.

The wind blew, the leaves rustled, and there seemed to be a faint cry. Chen Tianfeng listened carefully, and the faint cry became clear.

"May the wind god protect you."

"Let the wind lead you."

"Lord Barbatos, your followers pray to you..."

"Praise Lord Barbatos!"

The voices of the people gather here, calling upon their gods devoutly.

"I want to know one thing."

Chen Tianfeng loosened his palm and turned to look at the sky: "What effect will it have on Wendy if he loses this power?"

"You'll be weak for a while, you should be able to notice that." Sora said calmly.

Chen Tianfeng opened his mouth and said, "I did notice it, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought at the time..."

"I thought that weakness was also a disguise of Wendy, because he is always like this, right?"

Kong looked into his eyes and sighed, "Brother Chen, although Wendy is the god of wind, you and I both know that the gods of Teyvat are not cold statues. They have their own emotions, they get hurt, they bleed, and naturally they get weak. Wendy does like to lie and pretend, but have you ever thought about..."

The Prince of the Abyss said: "He deliberately exposed his weakness in order to make people mistakenly believe that this weakness was actually a disguise?"

"..."

Chen Tianfeng was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and said: "I still have doubts."

"Understand, it's Wendy after all."

"Yeah, it's Wendy after all."

"What if I swear on this?" Kong raised his eyebrows slightly, then raised his right hand with a serious expression: "I swear in the name of Ying that Wendy, who has lost the power of faith, is indeed temporarily weak. If this information is false, I will never be able to meet Ying again."

After he finished speaking, he put down his arm and looked at Chen Tianfeng, who was looking surprised. The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "How is it? Do you believe it now, Brother Chen?"

"You..." Chen Tianfeng frowned, "Why?"

There was no way Sora would lie about such a serious oath - the degree to which this sister-con cared about his sister was second to none even among many sister-con characters.

"It's simple, because Wendy is also my friend...at least she used to be."

Sora paused and said, "I really don't want to see Wendy give so much but still be misunderstood, even if this misunderstanding is exactly what he wants."

"...On your own initiative, on your own initiative!"

Chen Tianfeng said angrily: "He is just hungry. If he wants to eat, there are so many choices in Teyvat. Why does he have to sacrifice himself?"

Whether it was earth veins, the phaseless series or anything else, as long as it was energy, he could devour it. It couldn't be that such a huge Teyvat couldn't feed a small human like him?

There is no need for a weak wind god like him to devote his power of faith!
And I didn't discuss it with him at all!

"Because the energy level is not high enough. Brother Chen, you are not just lacking a lot of energy. If the energy level is too low, even if you have more, it will not make you full."

"But I still have a choice!" "Brother Chen, the feeling of hunger must be very uncomfortable."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips tightly and his palm unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife.

Is the feeling of hunger uncomfortable?

How could it not be uncomfortable? The instincts were nagging all the time, like a feeling of hunger emerging from the depths of the soul. No matter how much normal food was eaten, it could not relieve this feeling. Only by swallowing energy could it be slightly relieved, and then it would start to roar almost crazily about hunger and thirst, wanting to swallow more.

He was hungry, very hungry. He was so hungry that he wanted to devour any energy that came his way.

But this is not right, he has reason and is not a beast that only knows how to devour.

"I can't eat."

Chen Tianfeng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, ignoring his instinct to scream wildly. His expression gradually became firm: "This should not be mine, and it cannot be mine."

"It's too late. This power is sealed here and intertwined with the power of the abyss. Even if you want to return it to Wendy, it's impossible - it's no longer clean."

Kong shook his head and said, "Wendy had already guessed that you would refuse, so from the beginning, she didn't leave herself any room for regret. Brother Chen, please accept it. This is Wendy's intention."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng cursed silently for a few words, and finally sighed: "I know."

He no longer hesitated and sat cross-legged under the oak tree, holding the scarlet heart in his hands and closing his eyes.

The next moment, gray-white flames burst out violently!
The gray flames burned fiercely on his body, but did not affect his flesh and clothes at all. Chen Tianfeng controlled the direction of the flames, first swallowing the scarlet beating heart, then reaching out to the oak tree like a tentacle, and greedily taking it into the embrace of the flames.

Kong looked at the scene in front of him, silently took a step back, then another step back, and then thought for a moment, backing away until the oak tree shrank and blurred in his field of vision before stopping.

You're too concerned. Since you know that Wendy has reached a cooperation with the Abyss Cult and has the dragon's heart, why don't you think about why Wendy must use the power of faith instead of thinking of using the abyss energy?

Sora finally couldn't help but smile, feeling emotional.

Chen Tianfeng is indeed very smart, but when it comes to cunning, consciencelessness and shamelessness, who can compare to Wendy?

Wendy did use the power of faith, but who said that this power of faith was all the power of faith he had?
It’s just the result of the Wind Poetry Band’s work during this period.

For Wendy, taking out these powers of faith is as easy as Diluk taking out hundreds of thousands of Mora.

Without the power of faith, Wendy would indeed become weak—but only a little.

So there was nothing wrong with the oath he made.

Kong collected his thoughts and looked at the Abyss Mage who had been waiting for a long time and had just appeared at this moment: "How is the matter going?"

"It's all done, Your Highness."

The Abyss Mage landed on the ground and bowed. "We have set up projections in Mondstadt, Qingquan Town, and Starfall Lake. The people of Mondstadt will see with their own eyes the grand scene of your blood relative riding a giant dragon and leading three knights to resist the demonic tide."

"well done."

Kong nodded slightly, then noticed the gray-white tentacles waving and spreading in the air. The corner of his eyes twitched, and after muttering "weird" in a low voice, he hurriedly took the Abyss Mage away from this small alien space that was about to be torn apart and swallowed.
