Chapter 122: There’s something in the mists.
Qin Ran didn’t put the bubble film on himself just before entering this mushroom space, he wrapped an extra layer of bubble film on himself from the very beginning, that is, before entering the mist, when he persuaded the others to put on the bubbles.
After all, worrying about the microorganisms that might be inside the mist getting into your nose, isn’t there any worry about them getting into your skin?
And here’s proof that microbes really do get into the skin ……
The mushroom in the very center of the mushroom space, it emits spores all the time, and those spores dissolve the fog and open up this hemispherical space here.
And it was due to the fact that the air here contained spores, so when Chu Batian poked the bubble on his head and tried to breathe, the spores in the air entered his body along with his breath, attaching themselves to his internal organs, his musculature, and his blood vessels, and then they quickly took root and sprouted, spreading their rhizomes and growing mushrooms.
Chu Batian’s entire person, including his flesh and blood mana, became the nutrients for the spores to grow.
He died when the mushrooms completely, sucked him whole. ……
Jian Yuanjie exited the mushroom space first, and the four people left inside watched Chu Batian’s figure slowly retreat, all the way back into the mist.
Before they retreated into the mist, they saw that Chu Ba Tian had disappeared, and he had turned into a humanoid mushroom tree!
Standing in the fog, white, a few people actually have the feeling of a world apart …… Bai Ruoxi sobbed delicately, and the four men were silent and speechless.
After a while, Jane Yuanjie said, “Let’s go!”
Several people wanted to move, but Su Changqing suddenly came in front of Qin Ran and spoke out with him, “The spores of the mushrooms can dissolve with the mist, that spore is such a terrifying object, what about the mist? And what is so terrifying about the mist? You have been shrouded within the bubble, did you know that from the beginning?”
The others sniffed and reacted, that spore could kill a Jindan cultivator in an instant, so what about this fog?
They tensed up, some looking intently into their bare skin to see if anything unusual appeared; others went into internal vision to check for anything unusual inside, and some tugged at their long sleeves to try to cover their palms ……
As for Jian Yuanjie, he looked toward Qin Ran with a murderous aura in his eyes.
He must have left it out on purpose in order to kill himself, he said in his mind.
“I don’t know, I’m just being cautious.” Qin Ran returned with his face as usual.
Thinking back to his understanding of Qin Ran, Su Changqing slowly soothed his mood down as he nodded his head and said, “I’m not doubting you either, I have faith in brother Qin’s character …… just now, I just got excited, I apologize to you.”
“There is no obstacle.” Qin Ran said back.
“But since there might be something in the mist, then please also ask Brother Qin to cast a spell and cover a bubble for us as well.” Su Changqing sincerely requested.
“This is trivial.” Qin Ran said as he raised his hand and conjured up several Qi
Bubbles, into which all four of the remaining men were ensnared, the bubbles clinging to the skin without revealing the slightest gap.
“Many thanks.” Several people expressed their gratitude to Qin Ran.
Su Changqing and Qin Ran were both sensible and intelligent people, they were very restrained and very quick to collect their emotions, then tuned up the team, determined the direction, and led a few people to continue walking deeper into the fog.
I don’t know if it’s because there are fewer people, or because there are dead people. Five people’s team compared to six people’s team seems to be a lot of thin, flat life has a silent and desolate atmosphere from the bottom of their hearts, this fog shrouded suffocation is even more intense, if there is a pressure several times than before pressed in the bottom of the heart of the five people.
“Ta!”
“Ta!”
“Ta ……”
I don’t know when, but their footsteps became loud enough to be heard by the ear, echoing through the mist.
Even, slowly, they felt noisy, the footsteps were too loud!
At some point ……
“Who?!” Su Changqing, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted out softly.
Who?
Qin Ran’s scalp was numb, there were still people in this shitty place?
He hurriedly ran his pupil technique to its maximum and looked in all directions ……
There really is someone!
He saw a figure flash by in the thick fog ahead of him, running deeper into the fog.
“Someone?!” Jane Yuanjie couldn’t see and snapped in alarm.
“Is that a person?” Qin Ran asked.
Su Changqing looked back at Jian Yuanjie and Qin Ran and simply said, “Follow!”
That look?
Qin Ran’s heart condensed, there was a deep meaning in Su Changqing’s eyes, but through the fog, he did not know if he was mistaken, but, it seemed that Su Changqing really had glanced at him with deep meaning.
Why?
He was puzzled.
But not allowing him to think more, Su Changqing in front of him had already sped up to follow the silhouettes in the mist and chased after them, so he only had to follow. And the others didn’t think much and ran after them.
“Is it unsteady to rush after them?!” Qin Ran asked out loud from the center of the group.
“Is it just going to be a dead end? Getting no feedback, with nothing but the same old fog around you? Just keep walking like that?!” Bai Ruoxi asked rhetorically.
Qin Ran looked at the others, although they didn’t speak, they obviously recognized Bai Ruoxi’s words, after walking in this everlasting mist for so long, they didn’t get any information about the Extreme Devouring Demon Willow ……
The team even died. If not for the fact that they were all tough-minded people, they could not have gone crazy, and now that there was a change, then they had to go after them to see what was going on.
Seeing them all like this, although Qin Ran’s heart was uneasy, he could not well
Saying nothing more than secretly stepping up his guard and making sure he was in the very center of the group.
They were all Jindan cultivators, in fact, they were extremely fast, and even though they had intentionally lowered their speed in order to ensure the integrity of the group, it still didn’t take long for them to catch up with the silhouette.
There was still some distance between them, Qin Ran could only see that it was a silhouette, so Su Changqing spoke out, “Brothers in front of us, we are in no way malicious, is it possible to have a conversation?”
The figure in front of him was unresponsive and only continued to run.
Su Changqing persuaded two more sentences, seeing that it was still useless, then hand that sword finger, chopped forward, chopped out a silver gray sword qi, sword qi like a pike, disappeared in the mist, chopped on that silhouette.
“Hiss ah ……”
A strange scream that did not sound like a human voice suddenly came from the front, and then the silhouette disappeared into thin air.
The silhouette seemed a bit familiar, Qin Ran frowned and asked, “Where did the silhouette go?”
Su Changqing did not answer, while the others could not see it at all, so they naturally had no way to say anything.
The team did not stop and followed Su Changqing’s footsteps, quickly arriving at the place where the silhouette disappeared. Su Changqing took two steps forward, as if he saw some important clue, and suddenly squatted down.
A few people in the back were intent and hurriedly surrounded them.
Qin Ran came to Su Changqing’s side and saw what was in front of her, then his heart skipped a beat.
That is, a cut ……
Tentacles?
The thing looked like the tentacles of an octopus, pitch-black and the thickness of an adult’s arm, with slippery slime on it, smooth on one side and barbed on the other.
Moreover, the severed tentacle was still writhing on the ground, as if it was still alive.
“Not a human?” He asked, “How can it be …… tentacles?”
“Could this be the thing we were chasing?” Jane Yuanjie also asked.
“It should be ……,” said Su Changqing, pointing to the broken side of the tentacle, “There is my sword intent remaining there, which is what I just cut down.”
Qin Ran looked along and saw that the section was leaving blue-black blood, the blood was corrosive and was corroding the ground, and on the section, there was an inexplicable sharpness.
Swordsmanship?
There was a saying circulating among sword cultivators that sword qi was easy to practice, while sword intent was difficult to comprehend!
This Su Changqing has sword intent?
Qin Ran could not help but look at him twice more, worthy of being a genius of the Spirit South Immortal Sect.
Right at this moment, Su Changqing suddenly changed color into alarm and reminded in a loud voice, “Be careful!!!”
Immediately after that Qin Ran also sensed something and got up to look forward ……
“Fizzle ……”
In the deep fog in front of them, there was a huge, terrifying, and extremely oppressive black shadow that was coming this way.
