Chapter 15 Endless Sea of ??Fog
"Beware, there is a situation."
"What's the situation?" Zhenhong and Christina quickly approached me, and then asked on guard.
"I don't know either." I replied helplessly: "Just as soon as I was in my senses, a guard of death suddenly lost contact!"
"The guard of the Death lost contact? Was he killed?" Jin Coin asked.
"I don't know, the speed is too fast, and the surrounding God of Death Guards didn't have time to react. I didn't know what was going on, but suddenly I found that there was a God of Death Guards missing."
"Then let the nearby Death Guard go to the place where the Death Guard disappeared to see if there are traps underground." Jin Coin said.
“I’m already doing it.”
The two death guards quickly moved to the position where the death guards disappeared just now, and then searched on the ground. Although they could not see anything under the fog, they could use their weapons to test the situation under the ground. If there were really traps or something, they would definitely try it out. However, the result was different from what was expected. After some tests, the two death guards plucked up the courage to step on that position, but found nothing. The ground was confirmed to be flat horizon, without any traps, at least now.
"It seems we need to be careful." After learning that there was no problem on the ground, we did not relax our guard, but instead became more careful.
If there is no problem on the ground, it does not mean that it is completely safe. On the contrary, if there is no problem on the ground, it only means that our current situation is more dangerous, because the guard of the Death God cannot disappear without reason, and he must have encountered something. So, since it is not a trap from the ground, it can only be something that is active, and most of it is a creature. Otherwise, it would be impossible to accurately make a guard of the Death God disappear under so many pairs of eyes at such a fast speed.
Whatever the attacker is, what we can be sure of now is that there is at least one dangerous creature with a very fast action and one-hit killing ability against the Death Guard is nearby, and this guy has regarded us as prey.
Just as we were carefully guarding for this thing, the attack happened again. But the direction this time was completely different. The missing God of Death Guard was located in the front left of our team, and the God of Death Guard that was attacked this time was located at the rear of the right of our team, which was completely diagonal. And, this time, we also confirmed one thing, that is, the attacker must be hidden in the thick fog, either above our heads or under our feet, and must be hidden in the thick fog. Because the God of Death Guard that was attacked this time was not at the outermost periphery.
Instead, he is slightly closer to the inside. Although his position is not the center of the team, there are other death guards outside this place. Unless the other party can be invisible, it is impossible to pass through the sight of other death guards without being discovered. Besides, there is fog everywhere in this place, and even if the target can be invisible, it is useless. After all, as long as it is a physical body, the surrounding fog will be discharged no matter where it moves, which is impossible to hide. Therefore, the attacker must be hidden in the thick fog above our heads or under our feet, otherwise it will be impossible to bypass the death guards outside and attack the death guards in the middle.
Although we probably knew the target area, we were still unprepared for it, because the thick fog above our heads and under our feet was not ordinary. In fact, we had tried to drive out the thick fog when we first entered here, but the fog obviously had some anti-magic attribute. The storm we created could not blow the fog at all, and I could use my wings to briefly blow away the nearby fog, but this method was too expensive and was not practical.
"Don't move everyone." I loudly reminded the people around me to pay attention, and then quickly summoned a group of Death Guards, with the number exactly the same as the current number. Then I let the Death Guards stand together in groups, one of whom pays attention to the ground, and the other stares at the top of my head, so that they can take care of each other and make it easier to find the target.
After the Death Guard formed a duo, I couldn't be idle either. Christina and I quickly stuck it together, while Zhenhong stuck it back to back with gold coins, so that we also formed a safety alert range to ensure that we were not attacked suddenly.
In fact, this method is quite passive, but there is really no good idea at the moment. We can only stay like this first, at least we must first figure out what we were attacked by.
It was obvious that our attacker was not a patient hunter, because he had taken the raid under our guard. And it was less than a minute before the last victim was attacked.
Just when we were on full alert, a black shadow suddenly flashed by in a very close place between Christina and me, and then one of my Death Guards was missing in an instant. Although the Death Guards next to them found the target, they didn't have time to react. However, this time the guy was looking for death himself, the target of the attack was right next to me, the Death Guards on the innermost side, almost close to our position. So, at the moment when that thing launched the attack, I also moved. Of course, it was unlikely that I could pounce on myself, after all, I didn't have that speed, so I threw Eternity out as a flying knife.
The eternal light that was spinning out shot away, and with a puff sound, we all heard a sharp hissing sound, while eternal movement quickly was carried in the fog on the ground.
It was obvious that Eternity was directly inserted into the monster, and the thing was now running away with Eternity.
Although Eternal never ended this guy, now that guy is walking under the fog, and the hilt of Eternal sword is completely exposed on the fog, which is equivalent to pointing out the target position for everyone. If this is not hit again, it would be damned.
In fact, in addition to borrowing the help of the fog, the guy who attacked us had his own movement ability was quite exaggerated. Before, it was hidden in the fog and could not be seen. Now that there is eternity to mark its course of action, you can find that this guy is very fast and very flexible. That guy traveled around in my God of Death Guard, accurately avoiding all God of Death Guards, and his speed was never reduced. Even without these fogs, it was actually not easy to hit such a flexible target. However, I am all experts, so I don’t have to worry about not hitting the target if I can determine the opponent’s position.
Just as the thing was about to run out of our surveillance range, Christina's magic was finally completed. A white light ball with a blue light ring drifted along the S-shaped route and plunged into a point ahead below Eternity. A large area of shining electric arc burst out in that area. The surrounding fog was also cleared in a short time, and we finally saw the tip of the attacker's iceberg.
First of all, we can be sure that the attacker is very large because the range of the arc burst is actually quite large, but we only see one of the guy's bodies. In fact, this guy is probably a reptile similar to a centipede, and his body is very huge. The part exposed in the fog that was dispersed was a body of about four meters long, but the guy's head and tail did not appear in this range. In other words, this guy was definitely more than four meters long. Moreover, the width of the monster exposed at that time was at least about one meter. According to this ratio, the length of this thing would not be less than eight meters, otherwise it would appear to be too short and thick.
Although Christina's attack only covered part of the body of the thing, the power of the arc attack was very huge. After the thing was hit, it twitched on the ground, looking very painful.
Of course, I couldn't miss such a good opportunity when I saw the thing twisting and struggling in the arc, so I accelerated and rushed up. However, the recovery speed of the thing was obviously much faster than I expected. Before I could even rush to the front, the thing had already jumped up and was quickly drilling into the fog that had not spread around.
Although I had already responded quickly, it was a pity that the thing was faster, and it almost cut through me with a slight difference. What's even more annoying is that this guy actually crawled out and sprayed a large piece of green liquid into the area with his tail.
Although I didn't know what this thing was, it didn't look like a good thing. I quickly took a step back to the side to avoid the thing. After the liquid landed, it confirmed my guess and instantly burned, and the ground burned. Obviously, this thing is a highly corrosive acid, and even the granite ground can be corroded. If this is accidentally sprayed onto my body... I don't plan to try it anyway.
Seeing that thing moving towards the distance with my eternity, I stretched out my hand from afar, Eternity immediately retreated from that guy, then flew back towards me, and finally landed steadily in my hand.
The monster there whineed again when it fell down forever. Obviously, the friction on the wound made him very painful.
Looking at the direction where the animation disappeared, Jinzi couldn't help asking, "Boss, why are you bringing Eternity back? How can we find that thing now?"
"How could I make Eternal come back? Don't worry. I left a mark on it."
In fact, what I came back was only the most of the eternal, and the remaining little eternity was still attached to the monster and provided me with the other party's coordinates. However, what I didn't expect was that my complete preparation was not useful. It was not that the thing would run away and would not come because of eternal falls off or induce it. The real problem was that when the guy came back, he no longer hid his body. Instead, he directly acted like a desperate posture and rushed up.
I was originally staring at the guy's disappearing direction with the eternal part, but I didn't expect that the thick fog suddenly bulged on the ground ahead, just as if something was moving forward at high speed under the water surface, a large bulge would bulge on the water surface. This thing passed under the clouds and mist, which also pushed the fog that was so thick that it could not be melted. As the bulge approached at a rapid speed, we could easily determine the other party's position, and the guy killed him without hesitation.
As we watched a rolling fog pushing to a place less than two meters ahead of us, the surface of the fog suddenly exploded, and a huge black head suddenly bounced out from under the fog. The speed was as fast as a bullet, and it was almost impossible to react and the person was already hit.
In fact, I wasn't really unable to react. The key is that my body could not keep up with the nerve reflex speed after the attributes were reduced, so even when I saw that guy's movements, I had no way to prepare. I could only watch the guy open his huge mouth and swallow Zhenhong beside me directly.
Seeing Zhenhong being swallowed in one bite, I finally knew how the previous death guards disappeared. But in this situation, we don’t have time to care about this, because Zhenhong has been swallowed, and if she can’t get her out as soon as possible, it’s likely that she will be digested by the monster.
Although we wanted to save Zhenhong, the monsters there were too fast. After swallowing Zhenhong, they rushed out and disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, before we could make efforts to find it, we suddenly heard a loud bang from afar, and then we saw green liquid splashing all over the sky.
"Vomit... so disgusting!" Zhenhong's voice came from the distance. After a few seconds, we found that Zhenhong walked out of the fog with a bunch of slime. It was obvious that she had dealt with the monster that wanted to eat her and exploded the other party. But she was just a little embarrassed.
"You came out by yourself?"
"Or else are you waiting to change that?" Zhenhong said and looked down at the mucus on her body, then suddenly frowned and said, "Oh no, forget that this is a BUFF mission!"
"What's wrong?" I asked nervously at Zhenhong.
Zhenhong pointed to the mucus on her body and said, "I'm poisoned!"
Toxin system is actually a state-type attribute. Poisoning itself can be said to be a cursed BUFF. The big bug just now looked like a large centipede. It is not surprising that the BUFF with toxin system on its body is not at all.
"Is the poison powerful?" I asked at Zhenhong.
Zhenhong shook her head and said, "It's okay. She is just slowly reducing blood, about three seconds a drop, but I don't know how long it will last!"
"No matter how long it lasts, just remove the ones on you first." As I said that, I summoned Adina and helped to get some water to rinse Zhenhong. Although Christina can also use water spells, as the main combat power, her magic value is of great use, and she can save a little bit.
After rinsing Zhenhong, we continued to search and search for the exit. As for the poisoning problem on Zhenhong's body, there was no way. Although the centipede's toxin was not fast to damage blood, it was very stubborn and could not be purified by any method. We could only wait for it to disappear by itself.
I thought it would be fine if we had done the super centipede, but after we walked less than fifty meters, we found that the situation was far from as simple as we thought, because seven or eight rolling fog dragons suddenly appeared in the thick fog ahead and rushed towards us. The speed was so fast that we couldn't react. Fortunately, the targets of these fog dragons were all guards of the Death God, not us. So we still have enough time to react.
Although we didn't see anything under the rolling fog dragon, we saw the attack method of the big centipede just now, which was exactly the same as the fog dragons in front of us. Needless to say, these fog dragons are all super big centipede under them.
"Damn it, there's more than one thing!" Zhenhong shouted.
"What should we do now?" Christina looked at me and asked for countermeasures.
I thought for a while and said, "Kill all these martial arts first."
"Kill them all?" Zhenhong looked at me in surprise. "That would waste a lot of magic!"
In fact, the reason why Zhenhong and the others are worried is not because of how strong these centipedes are. But because they don’t want to consume magic. We enter this room full of fog because we hope to get some extra benefits. This place is obviously not the area where the main task is located. That is to say, if we waste all the magic here, it may affect the completion of the main task. You should know that all the BUFF tasks are punished by failure. And the content of the failure punishment is the reverse BUFF of the task reward. The intensity of this punishment is really so great that we can’t bear, so we really don’t want to waste magic here. However, now we are blocked here. Even if we don’t use magic to kill these centipedes, they will inevitably be attacked by them during the retreat, causing a lot of blood loss, which will be even more unworthy of the loss. Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, I decided to let them take action to kill these centipedes directly, at least safer.
After I gave a positive answer, although Zhenhong and the others were still a little worried, they still did what I said. These centipedes lurked under the fog on the ground and moved at high speed, which seemed difficult to attack, but in fact it was not very difficult for us. After letting go of the limit on the use of magic, almost all the centipedes were killed in the blink of an eye, and they did not even waste much of our magic power. However, our total magic value began to appear in a state of dissatisfaction.
After we got the job done, we started to move forward again. We were lucky. We never encountered more centipedes again, but we never got to recruit exits, and we didn't even encounter walls.
This room covered by fog is obviously surprisingly large. We have walked for two kilometers along the way, but we did not encounter any wall except the pillars. Along the way, I tried to use sonar and other methods to detect the size of the interior space of the room, but I found that the fog has strong absorption characteristics. No matter what detection method it is, it cannot cover ten meters away. In other words, our detection radius is the largest ten meters.
"Damn it, isn't this place endless?" When he walked to a place three kilometers away from the entrance, Zhenhong finally couldn't help it.
Chapter completed!
