Chapter 225 The Sudden Appearance of Black Mist

And no one knew where it came from; it seemed to appear out of thin air, instantly enveloping the entire continent.

If it weren't for the bright lights in their store and the protective shield, they probably wouldn't even be able to see their teammates right now.

This sudden anomaly ruined their mood for moon-viewing.

Looking at the thick, opaque black mist clinging to the protective shield, the group's brows furrowed involuntarily.

"This fog came so suddenly. Did you see where it came from?"

Gu Xinyan asked her teammates with a puzzled look, since she hadn't paid much attention to it just now.

They were lost in thought when, in that very instant, the black mist enveloped their area.

It should be said that not only their area, but the entire Saint Luo Continent was shrouded in this black mist.

Is this a unique feature of the Saint Luo Continent? Otherwise, why would it be so strange?

"No, there were stars in the sky just now, and I figured tomorrow would be a good day, but then this fog suddenly appeared."

"And in just a moment, this is how things turned out here. The nights on this Saint Luo Continent are truly strange." Yan Xiyun replied, staring intently at the thick black fog outside.

“Yes, it just appeared out of nowhere, it’s really strange! I wonder if this fog is harmful or not?” Gu Xinya agreed with a hint of doubt.

"Indeed, but we should still be careful; something seems a bit off."

Gu Xinyan nodded in agreement; she genuinely felt that the fog's appearance was suspicious.

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have a feeling that there's something inside this thick fog.

It was just too thick and too black to see through at all. If it weren't for the protective barrier around their area, they would probably have been swallowed up by the black mist by now.

Moreover, with the appearance of the black fog, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, becoming icy cold, as if we had suddenly entered extremely cold weather.

Fortunately, all of them possessed spiritual energy and were wearing temperature-controlled clothing, so they were not chilled by the cold air.

While they were discussing the black fog in front of them, the fog, which was originally so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, suddenly became thicker.

Suddenly, it started to churn, like boiling water, constantly bubbling.

While the group remained silent due to this unexpected turn of events.

Suddenly, with a 'bang!', a huge black claw was imprinted on their protective shield.

Although the claws were black, their bones shimmered with a faint golden light, making them very clear to Gu Xinyan and the others.

Those claws were so big they almost completely enveloped the protective shield, and judging by their increasingly forceful movements, it seemed as if they wanted to crush it.

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, reality was far from ideal.

Their protective shields remained completely still under the giant claws, as if nothing had just happened.

The giant claw, mocked by the protective shield, seemed even angrier, exerting even more force. The golden light was almost stretched into a straight line, but it still had no effect.

Seemingly realizing that the protective shield couldn't be broken, the giant claw vanished instantly before their eyes. Just when they thought the giant claw had given up...

The next second, with a 'bang!', the golden giant claw struck again, this time no longer treating it gently, but attacking violently.

Look, they're already getting angry before they've even seen who owns this giant claw.

The sounds of 'bang! bang! bang!' kept coming, making the ears of the people inside the protective shield ring.

The group, annoyed by the noise, drew their swords, ready to fight, but before they could charge forward...

Milair, standing to the side, held a strange weapon and began firing wildly at the location of the giant claw.

The beam of light shot out like a meteor streaking through the darkness.

In that instant, it tore a hole in the originally pitch-black fog.

The group vaguely seemed to see a huge shadow in the thick black fog.

Unfortunately, it was too far away to see clearly. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the owner of that giant claw. And the moment the light shot out...

The giant claw seemed to sense the danger and tried to retreat into the black mist, but it was too late and was hit squarely by the light.

"roar!"

With a painful roar, the black mist churned even more violently, and the giant claw that had originally intended to fight Gu Xinyan and the others to the death retreated with a 'whoosh!'

After the giant claw retreated, the churning black mist gradually subsided, returning to its initial calm.

Whether it was their imagination or not, the black mist that had been completely shrouded the area around the shop seemed to be dissipating.

At first, the group thought it was an illusion, but a few dozen seconds later, the pitch-black fog appeared just as it had when they arrived.

They vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed. Their arrival was mysterious, and their disappearance was equally mysterious.

Looking at the starry night sky, it's easy to guess that tomorrow will be another beautiful day.

And in the distance, the calm sea shimmered under the moonlight, as if what had just happened was all a dream.

Seeing this, Gu Xinyan and the others were all a little confused. Was it over already?

Their swords haven't even been drawn yet, and this unknown behemoth is too cowardly.

However, they were still very interested in the new weapon that Milair had just brought out; it was about the size of a pistol.

It looks small, but it is very powerful. In one go, it forced the unknown behemoth to cower.

Strangely enough, there didn't seem to be anywhere around to hide, yet with a sudden 'whoosh,' the black mist and the giant beast vanished without a trace.

"Miriel, this weapon of yours? Was it developed first? It looks a bit different!"

After the black mist dissipated, Gu Xinya's eyes never left the weapon in Miler's hand.

The more she looked, the more curious she became, since she remembered that none of the weapons she had exchanged with the Yaohua Empire were of this style.

What Milair is holding at this moment looks like a pistol, but upon closer inspection, there are some differences.

Unlike ordinary guns, the one in Milair's hand has much smoother lines.

There are no visible patterns on it, and the surface seems to be covered with a special metallic luster.
