Chapter 317 Monster in the Fog

The Ghost sailed into the foggy sea, and thick black fog quietly rose from all directions, wrapping the ship's hull.

In the thick black fog, the whole world instantly darkened, and the dark waves blew silently.

"call……"

Fen's mind buzzed, and for a moment, blood flowed from her nose, dripping onto the ship's deck.

And when she was about to reach out and gently wipe her nose with her hand, she found that her arm had disappeared.

Snap!

Chen Qi patted Fen's back gently:

"Don't use inspired detection. Also, stay within the range of the light as much as possible. It will cause hallucinations."

A surprising little flower appeared on Fen's head.

Chen Qi took out the day lantern and used the fire casting technique to light the wick.

The warm light shone on Fen and Brie's bodies, and there was a strong sense of warmth. The spirits swallowed by the darkness slowly recovered.

Chen Qi's eyes showed no emotion. He took out two more lanterns, handed them to Fen and Brie, and emphasized:

"Also, don't use spiritual power detection easily. When you stare at the black mist, the black mist will also gaze at you."

The black mist in the Sea of ​​Mist can not only interfere with the perception of spiritual power, but also possesses a strange energy. The detected spiritual power will be contaminated, thereby affecting the spirit of the caster.

Therefore, in the foggy sea, avoid using spiritual power detection as much as possible.

At the same time, you must also maintain your own sanity as much as possible.

"Stare at me..."

Fen took the lantern and swept through the thick fog around him.

Thick mist blew past, like faces crying one after another.

Fen muttered:

“What would happen if we explored these mists?”

"He will become crazy, may be manipulated by the fog, and then become a madman."

Chen Qi said calmly.

The essence of the Sea of ​​Mist is the result of the collapse of multiple cracks. These cracks are superimposed on each other and stacked with the undead souls of countless adventurers to form the terrifying forbidden place today.

The Sea of ​​Mist is complicated and confusing. Once you get lost in the Sea of ​​Mist, not only will your mind go crazy, but there may also be changes.

"Becoming a madman..."

Fin and Bree kept having tiny bumps all over their bodies. Their three-person team didn't have anyone specializing in dealing with mental issues.

Chen Qi added another sentence:

"Don't worry too much. The light of the lantern can restore your spirit. Even if you are crazy, you just need to wake up in time."

Chen Qi continued to add:

"As long as one person goes crazy and the other two wake up each other, a good balance can be achieved. Normally, the three people will not go crazy at the same time."

"I see, I understand. Don't worry, Qi. If you go crazy, I will give you a good slap to wake you up..."

Fen crossed her arms and nodded, staring closely at Chen Qi's face.

Seeing this, Brie also lifted up his sleeves, revealing steel arms covered with iron pipes:

"If you go crazy, I will use my steel fist to make you sober!"

"Be careful."

Chen Qi slowed down the boat and hung the day lantern on the bow.

In the foggy sea, if you are not careful, you may fall into madness.

Crunch! Crunch!

Soon, a strange sound like a baby's banging was heard from below the ship.

"There is a deep sea monster approaching me..."

Chen Qi looked towards the bottom of the boat with the help of the light of the day lantern.

Beside the boat were some dark, ugly big-headed fish.

Although these sea beasts would attract attention, they could also play a protective role... Chen Qi did not expel them. He took out the chart and magnetic needle, adjusted the direction of the ship, and sailed towards the 'lighthouse'.

Then, he opened the chart:

“In about two hours, we will arrive at the deep-sea hunter’s treasure trove, an abandoned lighthouse.

If there are no problems, we will leave here in four hours. "

Four hours? A deep-sea hunter's treasure trove? Bree suddenly felt a biting coldness coming through her body.

Generally speaking, a deep-sea hunter will place unimaginable dangers on his treasures...

Deep-sea hunters are not angels who give treasures to adventurers in vain.

Chen Qi also fell into the same thinking.

According to the current information, this treasure is a legendary career card of the Deep Sea Hunter.

Since this legendary career card is prepared for third-level adventurers, it can’t be ‘legendary difficulty’, right?

A deep-sea hunter wouldn't let a third-level transcendent challenge the legendary difficulty, right?

Chen Qi thought silently in his heart.

However, the specific situation will not be known until we arrive at the lighthouse.

After Fen and Bree got used to the fog, Chen Qi speeded up the ship.

However, at this moment, another chill came from his neck.

Here we go again... Chen Qi frowned. This familiar feeling was that of being followed.

He could vaguely see the gambler Loren's quick spear technique aimed at his head, and An's arm firmly aimed at his chest.

It's the hunter group from before. They haven't given up tracking me yet, or are they ready to pursue me?

If it had been anywhere else, I might have needed to speed up and escape.

But this is the Sea of ​​Mist, and they really dare to track it into the Sea of ​​Mist...

There was no fear in Chen Qi's eyes, but a glimmer of expectation.

This is the Sea of ​​Mist.

Unlike other places, the Sea of ​​Mist has many adventures, and his understanding of the Sea of ​​Mist is far better than that of other sea areas.

If you have the ability, come after him, just in time to put an end to all this!

Under the swaying lantern on the bow, the Ghost slowly sailed into the depths of the foggy sea.

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

The Ghost had been sailing on the sea for some time.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

Bree gasped heavily, and black blood seeped out from the corners of his eyes.

In the black fog, he felt deprived of his senses. He felt like he was falling into the sea. He was short of oxygen, his five senses disappeared, and he felt a slight suffocation like drowning.

"How long will it take?"

Bree asked. As a mechanic, he practiced the intermediate meditation method, and it was difficult for him to bear the oppression of this fog.

"How long will it take? I always feel that there is something in the fog..."

Fen also followed.

Her meditation method is very strong, and her spiritual power source is also at the legendary level. However, the strange fish that kept coming to the ship and the thick fog in the distance all aroused her anxiety.

There are monsters in the fog.

However, she couldn't use spiritual power to detect, so she could only use her eyes to confirm the situation in front of her.

It's so cold... Fen hugged her body tightly. Under the influence of the black fog, small black flowers appeared on her skin one after another.

Even the water elves who were usually fearless were frightened by the black fog.

Chen Qi took off the captain's coat and handed it to Fen.

Then, like an experienced captain, he took down the day lantern on the bow:

"You two, calm down, we've arrived..."

Arrived? A trace of doubt flashed in Fen's eyes. In the thick fog, everything in the distance became blurry.

How did he know? A trace of doubt flashed in Fen's eyes again.

"My spirit can withstand these polluted fogs..."

Chen Qi took a deep breath and explained.

Once it's dark, under the passive influence of the light keeper, his spirit value will not be lower than a safe threshold. Therefore, he can now use spiritual power to detect and explore the surrounding situation.

Under the talent of the light keeper, the threat of the foggy sea will be greatly reduced.

Bang!

The ghost ship crashed into the island.

The three of them did not hesitate, holding lanterns, and arrived at the island from the ship.

Darkness brings fear. Except for Chen Qi, Bree and Finn were very careful, fearing that their movements would wake up the unknown monsters in the fog.

This is a lighthouse island that has been abandoned for a hundred years. In front of them is a lighthouse that is fifty meters high and made of stone bricks.

However, this lighthouse that once led the sailors is now shrouded in thick fog.

Chen Qi turned his head and looked at the corner of the island.

In the corner of the island, some bones can be seen. On top of the bones, black carnivorous beetles drilled out of the bones and fled from here in a hurry.

This bone is very fresh...Chen Qi looked forward.

If it is a treasure buried by a deep-sea hunter, then his treasure should not be difficult to find.

All the treasures of deep-sea hunters have a characteristic. He will draw a special "safety line" to alert adventurers.

It should be inside the lighthouse...Chen Qi held his breath, took the lantern, and walked towards the lighthouse first.

Huh...

The lanterns flickered, and the eerie wind blew.

Moreover, they could faintly hear the human breathing.

"Wakuwaku (scared!)"

The other five water elves, hugging the strong boss No. 1, trembled.

A group of unmotivated things... Brie straightened his chest and gave himself a thumbs up:

"Water elves, follow me, don't worry, I will protect you! Although I like machinery, I don't hate you little animals!"

The water elves were stunned for a while. They looked at Brie's weak body, raised their mouths confidently, and fell into long thought.

Even Brie is so brave! What reason do they have to be afraid and drag down their master!

They silently jumped in front of Brie, their eyes full of determination.

Sure enough, the water elves were inspired by me, worthy of me! Brie wiped his nose with some pride and followed Chen Qi's pace.

With careful steps, Chen Qi arrived under the lighthouse and walked to the front door.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

Continuous panting sounds came from inside the lighthouse.

At the same time, Chen Qi also saw the "small cracks" carved by the knife under his feet.

This is the "safety cordon" set by the deep-sea hunter. Once the door is pushed open, it means breaking through the safety line.

"Fen, help me pay attention to the sea behind..."

Chen Qi said cautiously.

"Yes."

Fen nodded, took out the potion and drank it.

Chen Qi did not hesitate to drink the wind elf potion to enhance his agility. A slight breeze began to appear on his skin.

After Fen drank the potion, he took out the staff and aimed it at the sea.

Although she did not dare to conduct spiritual power detection, her intuition told her that something was coming in the sea soon.

Bri also stayed with the water elf, looking at the sea to prevent them from being attacked.

In this foggy sea, no one knows when and where the twisted monster will emerge.

Chen Qi held the lantern in his left hand, and pushed forward with his right hand to push open the heavy door of the lighthouse.

Creak, creak——

The light of the lantern slowly shone into the lighthouse.

Chen Qi looked inside with the help of the light.

A weak, mosquito-like voice came from inside the house.

"You...are..."

A man with bandages and blood all over his body stretched out his hand. His pupils shrank rapidly. He had not seen the strong light for too long, like a bug seeing the light, and kept shrinking back.

Someone's voice! Bree heard the voice and prepared to turn around and shoot.

Chen Qi stretched out his hand and said:

"Don't look at him, Finn, Bree, pay attention to the back..."

Chen Qi held the lantern and looked at the person who kept shrinking back in front of him.

In the foggy sea, it is best not to attack any humanoid unit directly.

The other party was wearing a set of the latest uniforms of the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau. His identity was most likely an investigator of the Meteorological Bureau.

At the same time, the other party seemed to be someone he knew.

The other party had rough hair, very similar to the investigator Kiger he met in the Deep Sea Titan Land.

In the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau, there are some special props that can allow the investigators under their command to live a few more days in the high-pressure environment of the foggy sea.

Beside him, some bread crumbs can be seen.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and asked:

"Name?"

"Newly formed Misty Sea Investigator Team 2, Jig, are you...are you from the Navy...Army...Army?"

He covered the dazzling light of the lantern with his hand while curling up. He seemed to have stuttered because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

An investigator encountered an accident and was trapped here.

Chen Qi used his spiritual power to detect the surroundings and confirmed that there were no enemies, then asked:

"What happened?"

Jig adapted to the light and put down his skinny right hand. He couldn't determine the identity of the person in front of him, so he could only say tremblingly:

"We came to investigate the skeleton ship according to the organization's order, but halfway through, all our team members were killed by something with black tentacles..."

"On the ship, something made our team members kill each other, and then, after they died, they became a currency, a currency made of flesh and blood..."

Becoming a currency...Chen Qi's eyes flashed with disbelief.

This person, this person is actually...

A normal living person.

To his surprise, the information of the person in front of him was basically consistent with the information he had collected.

The object of the currency should be a deep-sea merchant... Chen Qi was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, the investigators who survived in such a place should perform a big monster transformation after chatting for a few words!

Ji Ge's eyes also flashed with the same shock as Chen Qi. Years of investigation experience made him quickly regain his sanity and continued:

"At the sound of war drums coming from nowhere, the monster retreated, and I mustered up the courage to jump into the sea. I was lucky that I was not swallowed by the sea of ​​fog and arrived at this island... Relying on the mental stabilizer given to me by the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau, I held on for a few days. I have been waiting for reinforcements from the Meteorological Bureau, waiting..."

Did you arrive at this island by chance? Chen Qi looked at Ji Ge's feet.

At the bottom of his feet, you can vaguely see an 'X' pattern symbolizing a treasure trove.

Jig moved his feet away and asked:

"Are you investigators?"

Chen Qi said expressionlessly:

"No, I'm a hunter."

The Hunter Association... Jig trembled. He was not worried about the Hunter Association's high "help fee", but was afraid that the other party would be buried in this sea like himself.

According to the report of their meteorological bureau, there have been too many adventurers who have overestimated their abilities and headed to the Misty Sea recently.

Jig took a deep breath, raised his head, and with the light of the lantern, slowly raised his right hand and extended his bloody index finger:

"Hunter, behind you..."

Behind you...Chen Qi turned his head in confusion.

At this time, Fen came over in a panic and hurriedly put her hand on Chen Qi's shoulder:

"Something is wrong! In the fog, there is..."

"What's in the fog?"

The next moment, Fen's mouth curled up, and the flowers on her skin sprouted, turning into blood-colored flowers one after another.

Even her eyes grew thorn-like flowers.

At this moment, Fen was like a flower monster with flowers all over her body and blood dripping constantly.

Then, thick black fog covered her face.

In the black fog, the corners of Fen's mouth slightly raised, raised her fingers, and made a "hush" gesture:

"Yes... I..."

Bang!

The wind blew gently, and the lantern fell to the ground.

The distorted state of blood flower disease... Chen Qi turned his hand and pulled out the long knife at his waist.
