Shekh had a premonition that the strip of meat that had been exposed along the escape route was related to the black mist.

She lowered her body, and a void of darkness enveloped the original golden-purple starlight from behind her. The most primal dark power emanated a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine. A howling wind swept through the dilapidated county town, which was instantly crushed into dust.

Gravel hit Pu Kui's eyelids. She glanced at the sand, and when she opened her eyes again, the Heart Heart Hotel below had shattered into pieces. In its place was a woman with her arms wrapped around her legs, her body tightly curled up on the ground. Looking closely, she recognized her as Sun Ao's mother.

The flesh and blood crawled up her body, and a new Heart Inn was quickly rebuilt. The house looked no different from before, but the interior was in a state of alienation.

The defensive array, radiating platinum light, protected the paper airplane, making it the only intact object in the void. However, even with the added force of the folding, the paper airplane still shook violently, as if it would be torn apart by a tremendous force at any moment.

Pu Kui gripped the edge of the paper airplane tightly. "That woman just now was Sun Ao's mother!"

An invisible arrow shot off with a whoosh, a sudden flash of purple thunder appeared, and a calamity-inducing power that corroded all things slammed into the ground. Shekh yielded to the soaring energy, his toes dangling, suspended in mid-air.

With her left hand, she grasped a rotten strip of meat, tore open the red flesh, and pulled out a strand of dark thread hidden inside.

The fine black mist was pulled hard, and Shekh's fingers left deep marks that looked from a distance as if they had cut into flesh.

Compared to the red flesh and blood, the black mist was much stronger. If the strip of flesh wrapped in black threads hadn't been desperately trying to hide in the opposite direction from the Heart Heart Inn, she really wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.

Shehr urged Shi Jinzhe to move even further away, then applied even greater pressure to hook the black silk thread, from her forearm to her fingertips. A golden-purple glow reappeared and gradually covered her skin.

An impenetrable, absolute defense separated Shekh from direct contact with the black mist. While pulling her, Shekh did not forget to examine the woman on the ground who was still tightly curled up.

That was Sun Ao's mother. Countless red strips of flesh stretched out from beneath her, twisting and churning, her whole body like a heart pumping blood outwards. All the blood strips extending into the darkness came from beneath her.

Health bar... black threads...

pack…

As Shekh descended, she got closer to Sun Ao's mother. Her mutated body was much larger than a normal person's, estimated to be nearly four meters tall. She was enormous and lay on the ground, her movements resembling those of a baby sleeping in amniotic fluid.

So that's how it is. Thinking of the strange appearance on the third floor of the Heart Heart Hotel, she understood what had happened.

Sher twisted his wrist to hold the black thread in place, bent his elbow backward, and pulled hard, his body turning into mist again. The black mist shook out a swirling wave of air, and a buzzing sound came from deep space. Grains of sand were shaken off the ground with crackling sounds, and all the sand and dust slowly floated up, as if the world had been turned upside down.

The sight of gravity flipping over was too shocking. Seeing the sand and stones suspended in the air, Shi Jin quickly turned the paper airplane away from Sun Ao's mother's body.

The distance widened in the blink of an eye. When Pu Kui realized that she had escaped the darkness and was floating above some unknown green ravine, Shi Jinzhe had already let go of her hand and nimbly jumped off the paper airplane.

"Let's find somewhere to hide!"

Leaving those words behind, Shi Jinzhe grabbed the rapidly growing platinum vine and used the airflow generated by its growth to glide along the gentle slope for a distance during his descent.

Looking at Puxian from this position, it is obscured by thick dark clouds. Unaware locals would only think that a storm is about to break in that direction, but the truth is that several mountain ranges near Puxian are devoid of life due to the black fog.

Shekh deliberately restrained her power when attacking the red flesh; otherwise, combined with her destructive force, the world would be destroyed if they started fighting.

The strange phenomenon in the sky breaking through the air wall is attracting the attention of the indigenous people. Just as Shi Jinzhe is about to glide to the ground, he notices someone coming this way, spins his body, and takes off again.

Behind him, scales resembling those of a long-tailed grey butterfly unfurled, and scales carrying life force rained down, as dead life began to return.

The black vortex swirling in the air expanded further. Shekh noticed the situation on his side and pulled the black thread in his hand to its limit.

Since there was a guarantee of safety, she no longer needed to worry about anything else.

She picked out the blood bar wrapped in black silk threads from among tens of thousands of writhing fleshy tentacles, making it stand out clearly.

Standing in the center of the dark clouds, Shekh finally pinpointed the point where the red meat strip connected.

Just as she thought, it was right there!

Enveloped in nothingness and calamity, she dared not be careless and vowed to make full preparations before launching her attack.

The trigger for the black mist's invasion of this world was Sun Ao's hatred. Just as a ship needs to lower its anchor to secure itself on a boundless ocean, Sun Ao was the anchor. This was her closest chance to eliminate the black mist. In the past, there had never been any information about the origin of the black mist. It came and went without a trace, and once it slipped away, it was difficult to catch again. Only this time, the instance created an opportunity.

It takes time to retrieve the anchor that has been lowered, so it doesn't have time to escape, not to mention that there is red flesh and blood relentlessly pursuing it.

Shekh's gaze was calm; this was the best opportunity, and he had to unleash his full power!

Unparalleled primal power was released, the rising sun was swallowed whole by nothingness, and the world, having just left the night, was plunged back into darkness.

The unrestrained release of power allowed Shekh's body to appear in its most perfect state. Every turn of the snake's tail as it roamed the ground caused a great earthquake. Ancient trees that were uprooted would vanish in an instant simply from the deathly aura emanating from its scales, without even needing to touch the body. The oppressive serpentine body, which could not be seen from head to tail, flattened the mountains. Puxian County was surrounded by her and was the only place that was not destroyed.

Its body was so enormous that illusions were completely ineffective against Shekh. The colossal serpent defied human understanding, and in distant places, some indigenous people suffered heart attacks from fright, and the number of them continued to rise.

Shi Jin kept patching things up from behind, while Sheh relentlessly dismantled things from the front. He searched the entire game but couldn't find a single skill that could effectively isolate the enemy.

It's not that it doesn't exist, but rather that its skill level can't surpass Shekh's [Calamity] and [None].

The independent space he constructed was constantly being shattered. Sheh's attack was already so severely damaged before it could even be launched. If this charging time were combined with it, the follow-up force of her sure-fire strike would only be more terrifying. He had to find a solution.
