Chapter 977 – The Fog Beast
Chapter 977 – The Fog Beast
Gong Lao took Xu Chuniang and chose a lonely cliff with a high location.
But Gong old man in the chapter tail under the mountain lived for hundreds of years, the changes in the mountain is exceptionally sensitive, in the mountain just began to fog on, noticed something wrong, the first time to choose to go down the mountain.
The two were the first group of people to start descending the mountain, and by the time the others gradually realized that the mountain was foggy, the mountain fog was already very large, and there were even fog beasts mixed in, taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the people who had fallen alone.
The mountain fog was expanding towards the bottom of the mountain at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by vague hissing and screaming sounds coming from behind, Gong Lao’s face became a little more grave.
“There are fog beasts mixed in the mountain fog, these material fog beasts are mixed with the mountain fog and are extremely difficult to deal with, however, the fog beasts also have a weakness, they are averse to fire, if they accidentally get caught in the fog, you can use the Law of Fire to make them temporarily retreat.
However, most of the laws of the lower realms are incomplete, the laws of fire in most people’s domains can only repel the fog beasts, they cannot cause substantial damage to them, one must break free from the mountain fog as soon as possible in order to completely get rid of the fog beasts.”
Xu Chuniang’s gaze moved slightly, and she had a bold idea.
If she used the Laws of Yin and Yang to transform the Laws of Mist to protect her body, would she be able to protect herself from the attacks of the fog beasts?
If this idea was feasible, even if the mountain was in fog all year round, she would be able to go and cut down the Accumulated Snow Pine at any time.
The hissing and shouting behind her grew more frequent and closer.
The fog beasts themselves had the ability to swallow clouds and spit out fog, which could greatly accelerate the speed at which the mountain fog spread.
Gong Lao took the time to look behind him, the thick mountain fog, from time to time there will be various colors of hazy fire, and some strange gray shadows.
Those gray shadows are big and small, no specific shape, is the fog beast.
According to this situation, it wouldn’t be long before they would also be caught up by the fog beasts.
“After getting trapped in the mountain fog, you must remember the direction to go down the mountain, after dispersing the fog beasts with the Laws of Fire, keep going in the direction to go down the mountain, and you’ll have a chance to get out of the fog, remember not to get entangled with the fog beasts, remember!”
Gong Lao had just finished explaining these words when the two figures disappeared into the mountain fog one after another.
Xu Chuniang only felt a stagnation of her divine sense, and then she couldn’t see anything else, there was nothing else around her except the white fog and those gray shadows that wandered towards her.
Remembering Gong Lao’s words, she subconsciously activated the Laws of Fire, condensing a bright and pure firelight.
When those gray shadows encountered the firelight, they let out terrified screams and retreated as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions, and even the mountain mist near the firelight dissipated quite a bit when swept by the tongues of fire.
Xu Chuniang noticed that the firelight from the other people she had seen earlier when she hadn’t yet been caught in the mountain mist didn’t seem to have any way to burn it down.
Those gray shadows, too, didn’t seem to have escaped so quickly.
She had a vague guess in her mind that the laws she had comprehended on Spirit Demon Island were complete, and were much more effective in dealing with the mountain fog and fog beasts.
Xu Chuniang put away the Laws of Fire, and the firelight quickly dimmed, and the mountain mist that had been consumed by the firelight was quickly refilled.
The gray shadows in the distance, if they were aware of anything, surrounded in her direction again.
She spawned a Law of Mist to completely merge herself with the surrounding mountain mist, to see if she could fool the senses of these mist beasts.
But the fog beasts had lived in the mountain fog for years, and couldn’t be more familiar with it, and even with the Laws of Fog interfering with their perceptions, they were still able to accurately capture Xu Chuniang’s position.
Looking at the four or five fog beasts that surrounded her, Xu Chuniang’s mind moved, transforming the Laws of Mist on her body into Laws of Fire, successfully scaring off these fog beasts.
It seemed that the method of using the Laws of Mist to confuse the fog beasts’ senses would not work.
Xu Chuniang didn’t make any other attempts, following the direction she remembered going down the mountain all the way down, and after walking for nearly two hours, she finally made it out of the mountain fog.
Gong Lao had already stepped out of the mountain fog half an hour ago and sent her a transmission, only because the fog was too thick, the transmission was cut off, and she didn’t receive the message until this time.
Xu Chuniang took out her token and sent Gong Lao a peace message. Gong Lao’s reply was also quick, ”You came out of the fog so quickly? It’s a bit faster than I expected, I encountered a fog beast on the mountain this time, next time we cut down the snow accumulating pines, are you still going?”
“Naturally, I will go.”
“Hahaha, okay, the fog beasts are actually nothing to be afraid of, as long as you don’t them entangled, not lost by the mountain fog, it’s very easy to get out of it, how many snow pines did you cut this time?”
“Five.”
This time she stayed longer on the lonely cliff, and also mastered some skills of cutting down the snow pines, the harvest was two more than last time.
“Five ah, not bad, still charging the same price as last time, send it over whenever it’s convenient for you.”
“Next time.”
Xu Chuniang put away the token and walked in the direction of the stone house.
Anyway, when she went up the mountain in half a month, she would always meet Elder Gong, so she would just sell it to Elder Gong when she had the harvest together next time.
Seeing Xu Chuniang return safely, and also harvesting five Accumulated Snow Pines, Little White was very happy.
“Sister is really powerful, after going out for a day or two, she was able to earn back so many immortal crystals.”
At this rate, it was still promising to pay back the immortal crystals owed to Elder Gong within a year.
Once they had saved up enough immortal crystals, they could leave Zhangwei Mountain and search for Little Orange’s whereabouts.
Xu Chuniang smiled and swept her eyes over the newly reclaimed wasteland next to the stone house, “Little White is also very powerful, the soil near your home, you have reclaimed a small half of it, you have been busy for a long time, right?”
“Not tired, with the quarry chisel, reclaiming the wasteland is not difficult at all, it just takes a bit of time.
Didn’t Sister say that she would plant a lot of immortal herbs in the future? I’ll reclaim these wastelands beforehand, and cultivating immortal herbs in the future will also be a lot lighter.”
After these days of busy work, Xiao Bai also finally realized how important a competent immortal weapon was.
Although the quarry chisel’s true function was not to reclaim wasteland, its texture was hard enough to still provide quite a bit of help.
Xu Chuniang was very pleased that Little White was really sensible and well-behaved.
“Little White has reclaimed so much wasteland, so when I exchange the cumulus pines for immortal crystals in a few days, I’ll buy some immortal herb seeds for you to plant.”
“Don’t buy them first, I don’t have a clue in my heart if these two Frosts can be raised.”
Xiao Bai scratched his head in embarrassment, “Wait until they sprout.”
“Alright, I’ll take some immortal crystals to you at that time, you can see for yourself.”
Seeing Xiao Bai take the quarrying chisel and continue reclaiming the wasteland again, Xu Chuniang also continued to meditate and cultivate.
She had already thought about going to Floating Jade City once the immortal energy in her body had recovered almost enough.
Although chopping down snow pines could also earn her some money, she could only go up the mountain for two or three days a month, and the amount of immortal crystals she could earn was extremely limited.
When she went to the fighting arena, she would do her best to plunder the resources, and when she earned enough immortal crystals, she would leave Zhangwei Mountain with Little White.
