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 199 The Forest of Fireflies

"Yeah, what else?" Li Changzhou estimated the extent to which he could use 'super recovery' to trade blows with the enemy in battle.

"snort."

The zipper on the small bag at her waist opened automatically, a drop of blood flew in, and then the zipper closed automatically again.

"I won't thank you."

"Then... never mind."

Li Changzhou wanted her to cooperate with him to try hypnosis, but using hypnosis on a twelve-year-old girl was really challenging his bottom line as a law student.

Let's hypnotize the younger sister instead.

"Finish what you've said!" Bi glared at him fiercely. "I hate people who only say half of what they mean!"

What I meant was, if you're not going to thank me, then give me another lollipop.

"that's all?"

"that's all."

While keeping an eye out for him trying to snatch it, Bi unzipped her bag and took out a lollipop.

"Here you go." She handed it over.

"Thank you." Li Changzhou didn't eat it, but put it in his pocket.

"I don't owe you anything anymore."

"Um."

Li Changzhou looked out the window, wondering where Yang Qinglan was.

After Bi finished eating the lollipop, the train arrived near Edison's research institute, where they hid in a forest.

The trees overhead swayed, and the carriage felt as if it were filled with seawater.

“Let’s stay here for now,” Bi said.

Li Changzhou carefully surveyed his surroundings.

"What's wrong?" Bi asked.

"Don't you find it strange? There are no cicadas chirping in the forest in July."

Bi paused for a moment, her eyes slightly glazed over, and she focused her attention on her ears.

There really isn't anything; it's very quiet.

Her blue eyes regained their sparkle, and she looked up at Li Changzhou, asking, "Could it be that your stench drove the cicadas away?"

"..." Li Changzhou flicked her on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Bi covered her twelve-year-old forehead, which was as delicate as a flower petal.

"you--"

"Come on up." Li Changzhou patted his shoulder.

Just as Bi was about to start cursing, her eyes darted around, and she chuckled as she climbed onto his shoulders.

Ignoring her little scheme, Li Changzhou left the carriage and walked into the dense forest.

His body was very hot, but it was bearable. The ring constantly emitted a cool aura, sustaining his life.

"Should we take the initiative to look for people?" Bi asked.

"If we stay in place, we are the prey; but if we actively seek out others, we are the hunters."

As he spoke, Li Changzhou's legs exploded on the ground like cannonballs, his figure swirling and tracing a line through the forest.

Even with Bi's four physical attributes at maximum, he still needed to use some psychic power to sit steadily on him.

They hadn't gone far when they saw the real culprit that had "smoked away" the cicadas: jellyfish floating in the forest.

It should be a jellyfish.

It has no eyes or ears, no brain or heart, its whole body is crystal clear, its appearance is abstract, it does not have the sense of volume that an animal should have, as if it were the internal organs taken out of the body cavity of some kind of creature.

This jellyfish, as tall as a person, drifts quietly in the forest, like a legendary soul.

Li Changzhou stopped on a tree branch and gazed at the other person from afar.

"What is this?" Bi brushed away the branches that were blocking her view.

Two hundred meters away, the other person was looking at the Edison Institute not far away. Then, their eyes moved around and looked in their direction, noticing them.

Her body trembled slightly, and her petite frame, like a blooming cherry blossom, floated up, light and graceful, as if in a dream.

Its body began to glow.

"This doesn't look good," Bi said.

After thinking for a moment, Li Changzhou decided to abandon the long-range strafing with heavy machine guns, as the loud gunfire would reveal his position.

"It looks like it's going to attack us."

Using the newly acquired heat rays from 200 meters away would be too energy-intensive.

"Just in case, just in case, so I'll have another one." The zipper opens, revealing a lollipop...

boom!

Li Changzhou, who seemed calm, had already rushed up, and in an instant, he went from being quiet on the tree branch to being imposing.

"etc--"

The Emerald Bee Sword slid into his palm.

“My lollipop—” Bi turned around to catch the lollipop that had been caught by telekinesis but hadn’t caught up yet.

The void shattered, and the Black Death, wielding a white bone scythe, floated above Li Changzhou and Bi's heads, rushing towards the jellyfish with them.

The soft tentacles instantly tightened, transforming into deadly nooses that lashed out at Li Changzhou, covering everything in their path.

Li Changzhou flicked his wrist, and the sword light of the Emerald Bee Sword also swept out.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The net woven from tentacles collapsed instantly.

Amidst a rain of tentacles, Li Changzhou pressed himself within five meters of the jellyfish.

The scythe in the Black Death's hand, trailing a pale white shadow, swung down to reap the harvest.

The bone scythe hooked across the jellyfish's body, and to be on the safe side, Li Changzhou simultaneously drew his sword.

After returning from the mecha world, the Emerald Bee Sword, which was already incredibly sharp and sturdy, received a significant upgrade.

With this one strike, the jellyfish's body was easily sliced ​​open.

Glug!

The jellyfish's wounds suddenly opened, enveloping Li Changzhou and Bi in its soft body.

"Ooh!" Bi reached back and finally caught the lollipop that was flying towards her.

The jellyfish's body is filled with a transparent liquid, as clear as water.

My skin was unbearably itchy and painful, but my mind was foggy and I wanted to sleep.

poisonous!

Li Changzhou wielded the Emerald Bee Sword, then clapped his hands together, unleashing a millstone-sized Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation.

The jellyfish swelled up suddenly under the powerful impact, but it did not burst.

Seizing the opportunity, Bi popped the lollipop into her mouth.

Boom! Liquid surged within the jellyfish's body, threatening to roll back and crash down on the two of them.
