The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 178 Overnight Stay

Nobody paid any attention to her.

"Never mind." She propped herself up, her slender and alluring body rising. "Caroline, is dinner ready?"

“Alright,” Win Caroline said with a smile.

The way we eat in this world is largely the same as on Earth, probably because we evolved from monkeys.

The materials are definitely different.

“The main food in this town is volcanic fish, which comes from the 'Pella Volcano' to the south,” Win Caroline explained during the meal.

"Mmm, it's warm and a little spicy, delicious!" Li Qianxia chewed the red, lava-like fish meat with gusto.

Li Changzhou secretly smeared a little bit of the emerald bee sword on every dish and every sip of drink.

“Miss Yao, how long will you be staying in Pera Town?” Win Caroline asked. “If you have enough time, I can take you to visit the volcano farm.”

"No need, we'll leave tomorrow morning." Yaochi finished her meal after a few bites. "I'm going to take a shower and then rest. Don't bother me unless it's important."

“Okay.” Win Caroline gave a ladylike curtsy.

After dinner, Li Changzhou and the other two, along with Bea Triss, took turns washing themselves and changing into ordinary clothes that would not arouse suspicion.

Four people shared a bedroom. Bea Triss was resting on the bed, while the other three closed their eyes to recharge.

There is no practice of visualization.

Visualization consumes 'ability', and in this perilous time, every bit of 'ability' must be conserved.

Unable to visualize, Li Qianxia pondered the combat techniques of the "Fire God Diagram"—Yaochi had already taught it to three people, and she had also obtained the "Fire God Diagram" to determine if it suited her.

Yang Qinglan was not suited for the "Fire God Diagram," and the "Thunder Diagram" did not have any combat techniques. With no other options, she could only continue to comprehend the "Summoning Wind and Rain" technique.

Li Changzhou took out the Emerald Bee Sword and summoned the King Cobra, letting it lick the sword.

Is it poisonous?

The king cobra gently shook its head.

"Go and keep watch in the garden outside. If anyone gets close, notify me immediately."

"Hiss~" The king cobra slithered out of the window.

In terms of vigilance, the king cobra, capable of seeing any warm object and sensing its scent, is far superior to Li Changzhou's ability to rely solely on his naked eye.

Li Changzhou glanced out the window.

The three moons shone brightly, their bluish light bathing the world. The straight, wide road, under the moonlight, resembled a path of white bones.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, there was a loud knocking on the door.

"Open the door!"

The army came to search.

Having not slept all night, Bea Triss sat up with the elegance of a princess and asked Li Changzhou, "Are you desperate now?"

"It's alright." The Emerald Peak Sword slid from his sleeve into his palm. "It's like eating rice soaked in the broth of braised chicken and biting into a chicken bone. It's a bit hard on your teeth, but you can just spit it out."

The thin blade shimmered with an eerie green light in the morning glow.
