Chapter 272 A City?

‘It’s still spreading. ’

The fog was still spreading out, and the speed was not slow. When Wu Chong fell down, several stones in front were still outside the fog, but in this short time, these stones had been submerged by the fog. If this speed of diffusion is left unchecked, it will definitely sweep to Jinghai City. By then, all his arrangements in Jinghai City will be swallowed up by this layer of fog.

Wu Chong knelt down and picked up a stone from the side.

The seal in his body flickered, and a breath merged into the stone.

There was a sound of cracking rocks and breaking walls, and the stone fell to the ground, instantly turning into a three-meter-tall stone man.

"Go in and have a look."

Wu Chong gestured in the direction of the mist.

This kind of stone Taoist soldiers who "spread beans into soldiers" are the best pathfinders.

The stone Taoist soldier strode forward in the direction pointed by Wu Chong, and soon rushed into the fog. The fog in the place where Dao Bing broke into rolled a bit, just like someone throwing stones into the water.

After the stone man rushed into the fog, he immediately lost his direction, and there was heavy fog all around. The strangest thing is that these heavy fogs are like corrosive objects, constantly eroding the body of the stone man.

Wu Chong controlled the stone man and attached his spiritual consciousness to it.

I ‘saw’ a picture.

But then, the stone man couldn't bear the erosion of the fog and disconnected.

This mist seems to have a special corrosiveness. I wonder if it targets inanimate objects alone.

Wu Chong then tried many more times, throwing the stone man in from all directions and angles. But without exception, these stone men will fall apart in no more than ten breaths after entering the fog.

‘Why does it look like a city? ’

After using his 'spiritual consciousness' to spy on countless Tao soldiers before they fell apart, Wu Chong summarized some information.

In the hazy world of gray fog, there was the outline of a huge building complex, and there seemed to be some dark shadows walking around in it. It was unclear whether they were humans or monsters.

"If this is the case inside, the gods from Daming Temple and Jinghai Academy may not be able to play a role."

The stone man can 'see' the picture inside, relying on Wu Chong's spiritual consciousness. Warriors who follow the route of 'ancient gods' may not necessarily have this ability.

After returning to Jinghaicheng, Wu Chong began to think about countermeasures.

This fog disaster is obviously caused by the spread of higher-level forces. It is definitely not possible to count on the gods from Jinghai Academy and Daming Temple. The fog disaster has a great impact on warriors. Without spiritual consciousness, they can just open their eyes in the fog. It's the same as being blind, even if it's a master of heavenly beings. What's great is that it's more sensitive. But this is definitely not enough to solve the problem. If it could, the temple would not get out of control.

You still have to find a way to solve it yourself.

For Wu Chong, the safest way is to run away.

Change the place and continue to develop steadily. When the fog disaster expands to a certain level, tall people will naturally handle it.

But it would be too wasteful to abandon it like this, and the fog disaster has not yet reached that stage.

Although this disaster is strange, it is not completely unsolvable. He invested so much in Jinghai City and finally made this place his own. He also had a steady stream of subordinates to help him collect the needed 'alchemy ingredients'. It would not be so easy to start over in another place. , the most important thing is that many precious medicinal materials cannot be obtained by small places. Jinghai City, the third largest city in Daqi, is not so easy to capture. Furthermore, there are troubles in every place. He can't just run away when he encounters a trouble. In this way, he can become an immortal and change his profession to become a 'bastard'.

Inside the mist.

Ma Runan took two people and hid behind a wall.

After falling into the fog, she did not stop, but continued walking in the direction of Jinghai City according to her memory. The strange thing was that after walking for more than two hours, they failed to return. Instead, they fell deeper and deeper. Now she has completely lost her direction.

This fog is also very strange, with unknown shadows moving in the fog.

There were only three people left who had fled here with her, and the steward and others who had followed behind and flattered them all had disappeared.

I don’t know if he got lost or was kidnapped by those dark shadows.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Ma Runan's deputy is a young man who defected to her very early and is half a fellow countryman named Guo Cun. The other one is also a female head catcher who has always regarded Ma Ruman as her idol, named Liu Ting.

These two people were also the ones who reacted the fastest and rode away with Ma Runan.

"Don't worry, adults will definitely come to save us."

Ma Runan comforted him.

She knew that at this time, she couldn't let go of negative thoughts. If the team broke up, there would be no hope. As the leader, he must establish a hope for these two people. As long as there is hope, these two people will unite by her side as before, so that they can survive.

"Sir, can you really make it in time?"

Liu Ting's big eyes were full of fear.

This experience turned her world view upside down. Even the 'Aragami pollution incident' that she heard about before was not that exaggerated.

There was thick fog with no end in sight, and a lifeless environment.

Along the way, apart from the sound of footsteps, there was only the sound of breathing. The three of them seemed to have been abandoned by the world.

The inexplicable pressure makes people desperate.

"Lao Lu and the others seemed to have been dragged away by the black shadow."

Guo Cun looked back. Although there was fog behind him, he always felt as if a pair of eyes were peering at him from inside.

Boom!

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground interrupted the conversation between the three, followed immediately by some kind of dragging sound, like someone dragging a body.

Several people held their breath for a while.

Suddenly, Guo Cun's expression twisted unnaturally and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Ma Runan's expression changed.

He drew out his saber and stabbed Guo Cun.

This knife was extremely fast, without any hesitation.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the saber slashed on Guo Cun's neck, but the strange thing was that Guo Cun's head was not chopped off. Ma Runan's full-strength sword only cut in slightly, and then stopped. , the blade sank into the skin, as if cutting on some unknown leather, unable to penetrate any further.

"Guocun?!"

Liu Ting, who had been preparing in panic, immediately reacted and quickly hid next to Ma Runan.

when! ?

What about Guocun?

What kind of monster is this?

As the two watched, the skin color on the favored 'Guo Cun''s face faded little by little, and finally turned into a pool of asphalt-like liquid, slowly seeping back to the ground, and disappeared after a while.

A 'clang' sound and the sound of the saber falling to the ground woke them up.

"Let's go, those black shadows are chasing us."

Ma Runan grabbed Liu Ting, chose a direction and ran away, regardless of whether it was right or not.

The knife she just struck was just a test, but when she slashed it out, she noticed something was wrong, because Guo Cun's popularity dissipated rapidly, and a message similar to mist appeared on him.

It was precisely because of this that she slashed forward without any hesitation.

Thinking of this, Ma Runan raised his hand and looked at his arm. The gray stain from before had spread again.
