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 323 All in Despair

How should I speak to the director?

Zheng Qing, who wasn't very old, thought to herself.

[Email from the logistics team, encrypted. Do you wish to accept?]

Another window popped up, overlaying the lunar tourism brochure that Zheng Qing had just opened.

Zheng Qing muted the travel video and opened her email.

【A New Tribulation】Just a few simple words, followed by a live stream link.

After Zheng Qing obtained the S-level Hungry Ghost Path, her strength and status advanced by leaps and bounds, and naturally she would receive such resources.

Unfortunately, she was born into a poor family and could only undergo the second-class tribulation—reaching the immortal tribulation was also possible, but only a fool would attempt it.

It's somewhat understandable for others to attempt the Immortal Tribulation, but for Zheng Qing to do so is truly insane.

Didn't you see how skillfully Li Changzhou used the Hungry Ghost Path in the Human Tribulation? Zheng Qing wanted to learn from him.

"Another person is undergoing tribulation." Zhou Ying also looked over.

There are no access restrictions for watching the tribulation livestream; anyone can watch. However, given Zheng Qing's status, she doesn't need to keep an eye on it herself. There will be specialists to remind her, and she can also receive intelligence analysis.

In the high-definition footage, the person undergoing the tribulation is an animal player.

"Sister Qing, how many floors do you think we can hold out this time?" Zhou Ying asked, staring at the screen.

Each country considers the 'black mist' as the first layer, and 'Li Changzhou's true form' as the second layer.

So far, 90% of players attempting to transcend the tribulation have died on the first level, and those who manage to enter the second level are instantly killed.

"Whether it's the first level or the second level, the chances of getting through are slim," Zheng Qing said.

She was actually feeling a bit desperate and uneasy. In addition to the mission, her superiors had specifically instructed her to ask Li Changzhou or his sister for advice on how to overcome the tribulation.

After returning, she won't make things difficult for Zheng Qing. She doesn't need to tell the Special Operations Bureau about the conversation; the Special Operations Bureau will analyze Zheng Qing's tribulation situation on its own.

But whether she could get it, or whether Li Changzhou himself knew how to defeat her who wouldn't hold back, Zheng Qing had no idea.

If you can't become a human immortal, you'll have to complete a mission every month for the rest of your life, struggling between life and death.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and told herself that she couldn't have this emotion. According to the logistics team's analysis, 80% of players with this emotion would die on the first floor, killed by 'black mist + emotion control'.

"It's starting!" Zhou Ying's voice brought her back to her senses.

In the scene, the sky is dark and black clouds are rolling. The next scene is something players will dream about—Zheng Qing really had a nightmare about it.

Li Changzhou emerged from the dark clouds.

The creature undergoing its tribulation was a yellowish-black insect, enormous in size and with a strange appearance. Even the most bizarre alien creatures on the movie screen couldn't compare to this; it was impossible to tell what kind of insect it originally was.

"Squeak!" The insect pushed off with its legs, and its instantaneous acceleration even exceeded that of a spaceship.

“This must be the ability of a flea,” Zhou Ying said.

Whether it's a flea or not is irrelevant now; even if it is, humans can't deal with this insect like they would with a flea.

"They escaped, trying to use delaying tactics, or did they lack rationality and instinctively sense danger, so they ran away?" Not only Zheng Qing was thinking about this, but all the players around the world who could see this scene were also thinking about it.

This isn't just watching a play; we must learn something from it!

"Last time, a French player used running, right? It seems he was caught and killed after being hit by the Black Mist Simulation skill?" Zhou Ying said.

Just when everyone thought that the abductor would also use simulation skills to catch up—

The calamity did not turn into black mist. Instead, Li Changzhou raised his hand, and in the minds of everyone, he disappeared, replaced by a huge divine bow.

Boom!

There was a sound like a bowstring being released, causing the air to vibrate.

The punch landed with the force of a slash, sharp as an arrow and fast as lightning.

It was impossible to see what happened; Li Changzhou simply threw a punch right away.

The insect player undergoing tribulation was pierced from both ends and collapsed in the jungle like a crashed plane, with his internal organs and blood spilled all over the ground.

Dark clouds rolled in and began to gather. Li Changzhou, who hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end, turned and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Zhou Ying fell silent.

Are insect-themed players weak? Very weak; they get killed with a single punch.

What level are the insect players? At least at the fourth level of visualization, while Zhou Ying is at the third level, making her one of the best in the Special Operations Bureau.

Zheng Qing opened the national team's internal forum.

"No! We can't wait! He needs to undergo the tribulation immediately! This guy is learning more and more! Researching him is useless!" Such comments filled the page.

Can I survive by undergoing the tribulation ahead of time? Can I defeat Li Changzhou now?

But... is he planning to compete with Li Changzhou in cultivation speed?

Zheng Qing secretly hoped that something would happen to Li Changzhou; this kind of human calamity was too despairing.
