Chapter 0707 Pale Mist
In the mottled firelight, Lie Wang came ashore in a blur, branching out with pale tentacles, some long or short, gradually advancing in an orderly manner, like a timid child shyly reaching out to touch the animal he saw for the first time.
Thousands of demon slaves and people slowly retreated. They all knew how powerful the Lie King's mist was. Those tentacle-like white mists would sneak around behind people when they weren't prepared. By the time the besieged were aware of it, they would have no way to escape.
Mu Xingqiu stood still, and beside him stood Mr. Tie on crutches. It was because of him that the demon slaves and the people did not escape and stayed here to wait for a miracle.
More than ten demon slaves protect Mr. Tie. They are all the so-called "Lei tribe", with Lei as their surname, and are Mr. Tie's staunchest followers and maintainers.
Minister Xijing was also escorted to the dock and was guarded by a group of demon slaves. Looking at the approaching Lie King Yin Yun, his legs were weak and he had to lean on the demon slaves to stand up, but this did not affect him at all. His status, "Stupid! You actually trust a stranger. He will kill you all. In the end, it will be up to me to clean up the mess. The more you die, the more work I have to do. Wake up, You have families and children, why do you have to die at this time? The Lie King is unstoppable, and you are destined to become demon slaves for hundreds of thousands of years..."
"Shut up!" Among the more than ten members of Lei's tribe, Lei Jing was the oldest and had the fiercest temper. That's why he attracted the attention of the palace early on. He strode up to Minister Xijing as if he wanted to beat him. In the end, he just spat disdainfully on the ground, "Believers of the ancient gods, brothers and sisters, stop being weak. We have families and children, but families can be broken up at any time, and children can be sent away at any time. More than ten Ten thousand years can’t prove anything, everything will eventually end!”
Lei Jing wanted to be more passionate and generous, but the many demon slaves and people on the opposite side were silent. His morale also dropped. He waved his fist hastily and turned back to Mr. Tie.
You must see a miracle with your own eyes before you can believe in it.
Minister Xijing sneered softly. He was calculating the distance. When they all dispersed, if he ran fast enough, he might be able to reach the refuge point in the south. That was the only place that Lie Wang Yunyun avoided, and he would come to him. Leave the entrance open.
Mu Xingqiu didn't glance at the approaching tentacles. He stared at the blurry scene on the other side with his third eye, silently calculating the time for the demon to take effect.
When leaving the palace, he cast several illusions on the golem. If attacked by spells, the illusions would explode immediately. If not disturbed, the illusions would automatically take effect half an hour after dark.
The nearest mist is only about ten steps away from Mu Xingqiu. Most of the demon slaves and the people have retreated to the outermost green woods. If the situation is not right and the miracle does not happen, they will have to hide in the forest and escape. As for how long the Lie King's mist will last, it all depends on the Fire Tree King's mood.
When Mu Xingqiu's scheduled time for the demon illusion came, there was some light coming from the palace. Something had indeed happened, but he couldn't see clearly through the haze.
Mu Xingqiu retracted his third eye and discovered something interesting at this moment. Lie Wang's mist actually contained a large amount of spiritual energy and unclean energy from heaven and earth.
When he first entered Zhibu State, Mu Xingqiu noticed that the spiritual energy here was thin and almost nonexistent, and at the same time, there was very little unclean energy. He did not expect that they were all in the Lie King's mist.
The commotion in the palace became louder and louder, but Mu Xingqiu no longer cared about it. Instead, he was more interested in Lie Wang Yongyun. He turned to look at Mr. Tie and Lei Buzhong, "You guys step back first, I want to... taste Taste this fierce fire."
Mr. Tie and the demon slaves were all stunned, not understanding what "taste" meant, but when Mu Xingqiu stepped towards the mist, they still backed away. Even those who believed in miracles the most were a little confused at this time.
The Lie King coming from the sea was silent, and the remote ancestral fire on the island was also quiet. Even the wind stopped. Thousands of demon slaves and people held their breaths and watched the Taoist priests from far away doing adventurous things.
Mu Xingqiu could completely retreat and wait until the golem's trouble became more serious. The Fire Tree King could only stop his spells and actively seek peace, but he was too curious about Lie King Yin Yun and wanted to find out what was going on now.
The closer he got, the more convinced he became that the so-called Lie Wang Yinyun was actually a mixture of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the unclean air. The gas he originally thought was more unique was actually a fusion of the two, with a small specific gravity, but it was pale in color. source.
The aura of heaven and earth is transparent and invisible, and only the third eye can see some traces. The unclean aura is colorless when viewed up close, and appears grey-brown when viewed from a distance. The color of Lie Wang's dense cloud is somewhere in between.
Mu Xingqiu stopped and reached out to touch the pale mist.
Lie Wang's mist seemed to be alive. As soon as it touched the human's finger, it did not pounce. Instead, it retreated a few inches, and then slowly moved forward again, wrapping the finger and spreading softly against the human's skin.
Thousands of mouths simultaneously let out low-pitched exclamations, gathering together, but like a sudden strong wind.
Mr. Tie couldn't see anything, and Lei Jing immediately explained for him: "The Lie King's mist is wrapping the Taoist priest and has swallowed one of his arms. He is fine, nothing happened... The mist moved faster, and the Taoist priest's chest , two legs... The whole person was swallowed... I couldn't see it, but... But the fog didn't stop, the Lie King was still approaching, Mr. Iron..."
The Lei tribe helped Mr. Tie retreat into the crowd. After the initial surprise, the demon slaves and the people began to panic. The fog was getting heavier and closer. They could no longer see the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest died like this, they would be in danger.
"Do we have to wait any longer?" Lei Chi had been serving Mr. Tie closely, and was most concerned about his safety.
Mr. Tie was silent, with a stern expression, and his turbid eyes looked at the sky, as if listening and smelling.
Minister Xi Jing could no longer bear it, but he had no way to free the demon slaves around him, so he could only scream: "If we don't run, it will be too late. The Fire Tree King will kill at least half of the demon slaves!"
The uneasy mood spread throughout the group. Some timid people had already run into the green forest. The reason they didn't run away was that there was no leader yet.
Mu Xingqiu was still alive. Not only that, he could cast spells, and he was very good at it. The same spell seemed to increase his strength by two or three points than before. The King of Lie's Mist was like a haystack, and his spell was like a flame that would catch fire at the first sign of fire. He hesitated to act because he was afraid that the spell would not be controlled.
This was really a strange thing. Mu Xingqiu believed that it was not the mixture of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the unclean air that enhanced the effect of the spell, but the small amount of fusion gas in it. In the outside world, even if the two gases met, they would not merge. In the King of Lie's Mist in Zhibubang, they broke the boundary, and you were in me and I was in you.
He resisted his curiosity and impulse. Before he could fully understand Yi Shijun's plan, he had to be alert to all strange things, but he was also careful. Once the King of Lie's Mist got too close to the demon slaves and the people, he had to create a layer of illusion.
The King of Lie's Mist stopped. The nearest fog was only a dozen steps away from the crowd by the green woods. At first, no demon slaves or people even noticed this. They only saw the danger getting closer and closer. Minister Xi Jing struggled desperately and cursed the demon slaves who believed in the Taoist priests as crazy.
"Those mists..." Finally, a demon slave saw that the danger had stopped, and not only that, it was slowly retreating.
A siege ended without any injuries. The besieged did not cheer, but were all stunned. This was the miracle they were looking forward to. When the miracle really happened, they could not believe it. Everything seemed like a dream. Minister Xijing stopped struggling, and his whole body was shaking more severely. He did not believe that the Fire Tree King would be kind at the last moment.
"He is the Taoist priest in the prophecy." Lei Jing said excitedly. It was he who brought Mu Xingqiu back to the village, so he believed in and worried about the ability of this Taoist priest the most.
Most of the fog had dissipated, and it was about to return to the sea, but the Taoist priest disappeared.
"Where did Lei Chi go?" A member of Lei's tribe asked in surprise. Lei Chi was Mr. Tie's personal attendant. He was there just now, but now he disappeared like air.
Mr. Tie stretched out his hand and groped in the air, "Don't look for him. Those who should come back will come back, and those who shouldn't come back... just let him go."
No one understood what he meant.
Mu Xingqiu followed a crow.
Yi Shi Jun finally appeared. He was not afraid of the mist of King Lie. He flapped his wings in front of Mu Xingqiu, "Come on." The crow laughed hoarsely when it found that Mu Xingqiu was still walking. "Flying will not detonate the fog. Don't worry. King Huoshu will take back the spell soon. The bugs on the island will not be harmed. Haha, the golem has messed up the palace..."
The crow's voice was enhanced by the magic, and only Mu Xingqiu could hear it.
Mu Xingqiu flew behind the crow. When he heard the word "bug", he understood one thing, "You are not the Yi Shi Jun who came with me to Zhibubang."
Yi Shi Jun is the demon of all souls. Each soul has its own personality. This old crow likes to say the word "bug" the most.
"Haha, now I am the real, only, and pure Yi Shi Jun. All 414 souls are here! Only one is missing, but he is no longer important."
"Congratulations." Mu Xingqiu had guessed that this would be the case, and was not surprised at all.
"You really know something." The crow flew to the sea, but did not go to the opposite continent. Instead, it moved along the coastline, circled, and landed in the northeast of the island.
Yi Shijun wanted to take him to the magic slave training ground? Soon after landing, Mu Xingqiu knew that he had guessed wrong. At this time, the fog had completely retreated to the sea, and only a circle of fog remained on the island, like a wall.
The crow landed in the middle of the fog, turned into the image of an old man, and said to Mu Xingqiu in the sky: "Come down, let's talk about the survival and destruction of the world. First, let me introduce some interesting guests. This is the first one. You haven't recognized him all the time. He is the relative you have been looking for."
Lei Chi stood beside Yi Shijun and looked up at Mu Xingqiu. There was only vigilance and suspicion in his eyes, without any family affection.
Mu Xingqiu was furious in an instant. He not only did not recognize his brother before, but also did not recognize the soul changer.
