Chapter 15 Endless Sea of ​​Fog

"Be alert, there's a situation."

"What's going on?" Zhenhong and Christina quickly approached me and asked cautiously.

"I don't know either." I replied helplessly: "There was a death guard in my induction just now and suddenly lost contact!"

"The Death Guard lost contact? Were they killed?" Jin Coin asked.

"I don't know. The speed was so fast that the surrounding Death Guards didn't even have time to react. I don't even know what happened, but I suddenly realized that there was one less Death Guard."

"Then let the nearby Death Guard go to the place where the Death Guard disappeared to see if there is a trap underground." Gold Coin said.

"I'm already doing it."

The two Death Guards quickly moved to the location where the Death Guard just disappeared, and then searched the ground for a while. Although nothing can be seen under the fog, they can use their weapons to test the situation under the ground. If there is really a trap or something, they will definitely be able to test it out. However, the result was not what was expected. After some testing, the two Death Guards bravely stepped around that location, but found nothing. The ground was confirmed to be flat and flat, without any traps, at least for now.

"It seems we need to be careful." After learning that there was no problem on the ground, we did not relax our vigilance, but became even more careful.

Just because there is no problem on the ground does not mean that we are completely safe. On the contrary, the fact that there is no problem on the ground can only mean that our current situation is more dangerous. Because the death guard cannot disappear without reason, he must have encountered something. So. Since it is not a trap from the ground, it can only be something moving, and most likely some kind of creature. Otherwise, it would be impossible to accurately make a Death Guard disappear under so many pairs of eyes at such a fast speed.

No matter what the attacker is, what we can be sure of now is that there is at least one dangerous creature that moves extremely fast and has the ability to kill the Death Guard with one hit, and this guy has regarded us as prey.

Just as we were carefully guarding against this thing, the attack happened again, but this time the direction was completely different. The Death Guard that disappeared just now is located in the front left of our team, while the Death Guard that was attacked this time is located in the rear right of our team, which is 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. Anyway, he must be hidden in the thick fog. Because the Death Guard that was attacked this time was not at the outermost perimeter, but slightly inside. Although his position is not the center of the team. But there are other death guards outside this place. Unless the other party can become invisible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pass through the sight of other Death Guards without being discovered. Moreover. There is fog everywhere in this place. Even if the target can be invisible, it is useless, as long as it is an entity. No matter where you move, the surrounding fog will be pushed away, which cannot be hidden. Therefore, the attacker must be hiding in the thick fog above our heads or under our feet, otherwise there would be no way to bypass the Death Guards on the periphery and attack the Death Guards in the middle.

Although we roughly knew the target area, we were still defenseless against it because the thick fog above our heads and below our feet was anything but ordinary. In fact, we had already tried to expel the thick fog when we first entered here, but the fog obviously had some anti-magic properties. The wind spell we created couldn't blow the fog at all, but I used my wings to do it. It is possible to blow away the nearby fog for a short time, but this method consumes too much and is not practical.

"Everyone, don't move." I shouted loudly to alert the people around me, and then quickly summoned another group of Death Guards, the number of which was exactly the same as the current number, and then asked the Death Guards to stand together in groups of two, with one of them paying special attention. On the ground, the other one is staring directly at the top of the head, so that they can take care of each other and find the target more easily.

After the Death Guard formed a duo, I couldn't be idle either. Christina and I quickly stuck together, while True Red and the gold coins stuck together back to back. In this way, we also formed a safe warning range to ensure that we would not be attacked suddenly.

In fact, this method is quite passive, but there is really no good way at the moment. We can only stay like this for now, at least we must first figure out what is attacking us.

It was obvious that our attacker was not a patient hunter, for despite our alertness he still pounced, less than a minute after the last victim was attacked.

Just when we were on full alert, a black shadow suddenly flashed past Christina and I very close to me, and then one of my Death Guards was instantly missing. Although the Death Guards next to me noticed The target didn't have time to react. But this time, even if that guy was looking for death, the target of the attack was actually right next to me. It was the innermost Death Guard, almost right next to us. So, the moment that thing launched its attack, I also moved. Of course, it was unlikely that I would pounce on it myself. After all, I didn’t have that speed, so I directly threw Eternity as a flying knife.

The eternity that spun out shot out and nailed into the ground with a pop. At the same time, we all heard a sharp neighing sound, and eternity was moved quickly amidst the mist on the ground.

It was obvious that Eternity was directly inserted into the monster's body, and that thing was now escaping with Eternity.

Although Eternity has never hit this guy once, but now that guy is walking under the fog, the hilt of Eternity's sword is completely exposed above the fog, which is equivalent to pointing out the target position for everyone. If you can't hit it again, you will be damned.

In fact, the guy who attacked us not only borrowed the help of the mist, but his own mobility was also quite exaggerated. Before, it was hidden in the fog and couldn't be seen. Now that eternity can mark its course of action, you can see that this guy is very fast. And very flexible. That guy walked through my Death Guards, accurately avoiding all the Death Guards, and his speed never slowed down. Even without these fogs, it is actually not easy to hit such a flexible target. . However, we are all experts here, so I don’t have to worry about missing the target if I can determine the opponent’s position.

Just when the thing was about to run out of our surveillance range in all its twists and turns, Christina's magic was finally completed. I saw a white ball of light with a blue halo passing through the Death Guards along the S-shaped route and diving into a position slightly ahead of Eternity. A large area of ​​shining arc instantly exploded in that area, and a large area of ​​the surrounding fog was cleared in a short period of time, and we finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the attacker.

First of all, we can confirm that this attacker is very large. Because the arc explosion range is actually quite large. But we only see part of this guy's body. In fact, this guy is probably some kind of reptile similar to a centipede, and it is very huge. The portion of the body that was revealed in the mist that was dispersed was about four meters long, but the head and tail of the guy didn't appear within this range, which meant that the guy was definitely more than four meters long. and. The width of the monster's exposed body was at least about one meter. Judging from this ratio. The length of this thing cannot be less than eight meters, otherwise it will appear too short and thick.

Although Christina's attack only covered part of the thing's body, the power of the arc attack was extremely powerful. After the thing was hit, it twitched on the ground and looked very painful.

Seeing the thing twisting and struggling in the arc, of course I couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so I accelerated and rushed forward. However, the recovery speed of the thing was obviously much faster than I expected. Before it even rushed forward, the thing had already jumped up and was quickly diving into the surrounding fog that had not spread.

Although I was already able to react relatively quickly, it was a pity that the thing was even faster, and it almost passed me by a hair's breadth. What's even more disgusting is that this guy actually used his tail to spray a large amount of green liquid at the area after getting out.

Although I didn't know what this thing was, it didn't look like a good thing, so I quickly took a step sideways to avoid it. After the liquid hit the ground, it confirmed my guess, and it burned to the ground instantly. Smoke was rising. Obviously this thing is a highly corrosive acid, and it can corrode even the granite floor. If it accidentally sprays on me... I don't plan to try it anyway.

Seeing that thing moving away with my eternity, I stretched out my hand from a distance, and eternity immediately retreated from the guy, then flew back towards me, and finally landed steadily. In my hand.

The monster over there whined again when Eternity fell. It was obvious that the friction on the wound caused him great pain.

Looking at the direction in which the animation disappeared, Jin Coin couldn't help but ask: "Boss, why did you bring eternity back? How can we find that thing now?"

"How can I bring eternity back? Don't worry, I left a mark on it."

In fact, only a large part of eternity came back, and the remaining tiny bit of eternity was still attached to the monster's body. However, what I didn't expect was that my complete preparations didn't come into use. It's not that the thing just ran away and won't come back, nor is it because it will fall off forever or be unable to sense. The real problem is that when the guy came back, he no longer hid his figure, but just put on a desperate posture and rushed forward.

Come on, I was staring at the direction where that guy disappeared with part of eternity. Unexpectedly, the thick fog on the ground in front of me suddenly bulged up. It was as if something was moving at high speed under the water, and a large bulge appeared on the water. The same thing, this thing travels under the clouds and mist, pushing up a bulge in the fog that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved, and as the bulge approaches extremely quickly, we can easily judge the opponent's position, and that The guy didn't hesitate and just came over to kill him.

Seeing a rolling fog advancing less than two meters in front of us, the surface of the fog suddenly exploded, and a huge black head suddenly popped out from under the fog, as fast as a bullet. He almost didn't have time to react before he was already hit.

In fact, it’s not that I really can’t react. The key is that after the attributes are reduced, my body can’t keep up with the speed of nerve reflexes, so even if I see the guy’s movements, I have no way to prepare. I can only watch the guy open his eyes. He opened his huge mouth and swallowed the real red beside me directly.

Watching Zhen Hong being swallowed up in one gulp, I finally understood how the previous Death Guards had disappeared. But in this situation, we don't have time to care about this, because Zhenhong has been swallowed, and if we can't get her out as soon as possible, she will probably be digested by the monster.

Although we wanted to save Zhenhong, the monster over there was too fast. After swallowing Zhenhong, he fled out in the blink of an eye and disappeared, but we didn't have time to find it yet. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the distance. Then I saw green liquid splashing all over the sky.

"Ugh...that's disgusting!" Zhenhong's voice came from the distance, and a few seconds later we found Zhenhong walking out of the fog covered in mucus. It was obvious that she had taken care of the monster that wanted to eat her and exploded it, but she was just a little embarrassed.

"Did you come out on your own?"

"Otherwise, what are you waiting for to change?" After Zhenhong said this, he lowered his head and glanced at the mucus on his body. Then he suddenly frowned and said: "Oops. I forgot this is a buff mission!"

"What's wrong?" I looked at Zhenhong nervously and asked.

Zhenhong pointed to the mucus on her body and said, "Poisoned!"

The poison system is actually a status attribute. Being poisoned can be said to be a curse-type buff, and the big bug just now looks like a large centipede. It is not surprising at all to have a poison-type buff on its body.

"Is it very poisonous?" I looked at Zhenhong and asked.

Zhenhong shook his head and said: "It's okay. It's just slowly reducing blood pressure, about one drop every three seconds. I just don't know how long it will last!"

"No matter how long it lasts, let's get rid of those things on you first." I said and directly summoned Adina to help get some water for Zhenhong to wash. Although Christina can also use water spells, her magic power is of great use in determining combat power, so any little she can save is worth it.

After cleaning up Zhenhong, we continued to search and move forward to find an exit. As for the poisoning problem on Zhenhong, there was really nothing we could do. Although the centipede's toxin does not damage blood quickly, it is very stubborn and cannot be purified using any method. We can only wait for it to disappear on its own.

Once we got rid of the super giant centipede, we would be fine. However, after walking less than fifty meters, we discovered that the situation was far from as simple as we imagined, because seven or eight rolling fogs suddenly appeared in the thick fog ahead. The dragon rushed towards us, so fast that we had no time to react. Fortunately, the targets of these fog dragons' attacks are all Death Guards, not us, so we still have plenty of reaction time.

Although we didn't see what was under the rolling fog dragon, we all 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 were all covered with super-large centipede.

"Damn, there's more than one of those things!" Zhenhong shouted.

"What should we do now?" Christina looked at me and asked what to do.

I thought for a moment and said: "Get rid of all these martial arts first."

"Kill them all?" Zhenhong looked at me in surprise. "That would waste a lot of magic power!"

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 power. We entered this foggy room entirely because we hoped to get some extra benefits, and this place is obviously not the area where the main mission is located. In other words, if we waste all our magic power here, it may affect the main mission. of completion. You must know that all buff tasks carry a failure penalty, and the failure penalty is the reverse buff of the task reward. The intensity of this punishment is so great that we can't bear it at all, so we really don't want to waste our magic power here. However, now that we are blocked here, even if we don't use magic to kill these centipedes, we will inevitably be attacked by them during the retreat and cause a lot of blood loss, which will make the gain more than worth the loss. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to let them kill these centipedes directly, which was at least safer.

After I answered in the affirmative, although Zhenhong and the others were still a little worried, they still did as I asked. These centipedes lurk under the mist on the ground and move at high speed. They seem to be difficult to attack, but in fact it is not that difficult for us. After the restrictions on the use of magic power are released, all the centipedes can be seen in the blink of an eye. After being killed, we didn't even waste much of our magic power, but our total magic power finally began to appear to be insufficient.

After taking care of these centipedes, we continued to move forward. Fortunately, we never encountered more centipedes. However, we were never able to find the exit, and we didn't even encounter the wall.

This fog-covered room was obviously surprisingly large. We had walked a full two kilometers, but we didn't encounter any walls except pillars. Along the way, I tried to use sonar and other methods to detect the internal space of the room, but it turned out that the fog has strong absorption properties. No matter what detection method is used, it cannot cover the area ten meters away. In other words, our The maximum detection radius is ten meters.

"Damn it, is there no end to this place?" When she walked to a place three kilometers away from the entrance, Zhenhong finally couldn't help it anymore. (To be continued...)
