At this moment, Lin Xiao's body was almost completely collapsing.

He said deeply, "Lu Ning, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of the base city. Colin, Mu Mu, and Xiao Ran... I'll also have to trouble you."

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay!"

Lin Xiao smiled with relief, and the last head turned into a fluorescent glow.

At this moment, the souls of almost all the dead had turned into fluorescent light and dissipated.

Saint Qinglan paused for a moment, then regained his senses amidst the collapse of the base city.

He said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Then he waved his hand, and a gentle breeze swept everyone up, lifting them into the air and flying towards the top of the mist.

This time, with no obstruction above the base city, they easily reached high altitude.

Even hundreds of meters above the ground, they still couldn't penetrate the fog.

This is normal; Lu Ning had seen it outside Earth before, and the fog even penetrated the atmosphere.

After arriving in the sky, Saint Qinglan led everyone over the city walls of the base city and arrived at the outer perimeter of the base city.

Instead of leaving immediately, the Saint Qinglan led everyone to watch the base city crumble.

Soon, the base city disappeared, turning into countless tiny points of light, and the original location of the base city became a wasteland.

Saint Qinglan surveyed the wilderness, making sure nothing unusual had been left behind.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when the original golden halo had closed.

"Let's go."

After that, Saint Qinglan led everyone to fly towards the outer perimeter.

Although the mental pollution detection device for Anlan was no longer available, the Saint Qinglan still remembered the way she had come.

In addition, Lu Ning was also watching over them.

Along the way, they did not encounter many diseased people or monsters.

These diseased beings and calamity beasts were not very strong, and naturally posed no threat to the saints.

Considering the injuries of An Lan and the others, Saint Qinglan moved very quickly.

In less than half an hour, they left the fog.

Once outside the mist, the sunlight fell, causing everyone to squint slightly.

Lu Ning looked up and glanced at the sun.

Under the light and shadow, the twisted tentacles were clearly visible.

He turned his gaze away and looked ahead.

The abandoned border fortress was right in front of us.

Clearly, during the time they entered the fog, the edge of Fog 233 expanded again.

Lu Ning guessed that the expansion of the mist might be related to the spatial rift.

Because the spatial rift was open, and the rotting giant hand kept transmitting power in this direction, the mental pollution of the mist increased at an extremely rapid pace, causing the mist's area to expand rapidly.

Lu Ning thought of the golden halo.

He guessed that might be where he came from.

However, the internal environment seemed completely different from when he came out.

When he walked, the mist remained completely still, and there was nothing there.

Now we can actually see those twisted monsters, or rather, evil gods?

If he had encountered so many evil gods in the mist back then, he probably wouldn't have become so bored and numb, right?

Lu Ning considered whether he should try to sneak into the golden light circle to see if he could find his way back.

But his intuition told him he couldn't.

Now that he's inside the golden aura, he feels like he'll be trapped in the mist again.

Perhaps it's because his strength is still too weak.

If he were stronger, reaching the level of an evil god, perhaps he could enter the golden halo and find some clues?

While Lu Ning was pondering, the Azure Mist Saint had already led everyone away from the border of the Misty Sky and was flying towards the nearest Base City, No. 116.

When they arrived at Base City 116, there were already people waiting at the city gate.

Lu Ning saw Yan Feng, Li Yihang, and Colin and others.

Besides the people from the Fog Bureau, Lu Ning also saw the Guards, including Legion Commander Fang Lan.

Clearly, they were spotted by scouts when they flew by.

After the Azure Mist Saint landed, Fang Lan and the high-ranking officials of the Mist Bureau stepped forward.

When they saw everyone covered in blood, even Qinglan, a saint, was also covered in blood, their expressions changed.

Keep in mind that Fog #233 is just a small fog!

Having the saint lead the team is just a precaution, a case in case something happens!

I never expected that even a saint would suffer such a serious injury?

Fang Lan's heart sank, and she immediately asked, "Holy Ones, how are you? Are you alright? What was in the mist that could have caused you such serious injuries?"

The others also looked at them with concern.

Saint Qinglan waved his hand and said, "It's already resolved. Let's treat them first."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lan and the others finally came to their senses.

"Get the medical team up here quickly!"

Given the dangers of the fog, they naturally didn't believe anyone would be injured and had already sent the medical team to wait there.

However, the extent of the injuries sustained by the exploration team still alarmed them.

The medical team quickly treated An Lan and the others' wounds before taking them to the ambulance.

Such injuries require hospital treatment, and also need to be treated with medication from the Mist Bureau.

After An Lan and the others got into the ambulance, Qinglan Saint, who was also injured, got into one as well.

Lu Ning silently followed.

Saint Qinglan glanced at Lu Ning, his expression somewhat strange: "...You have an exhibitionist streak, kid?"

Lu Ning: "?"

He looked down and realized that he seemed to be naked, but because there was so much blood on his body, it had formed thick scabs, which could barely cover him up.

It still doesn't look very good.

The sacred fire of the sun had burned everything on him, including his clothes.

Seeing the tattered clothes of the Saint Qinglan, which were reduced to mere strips of cloth, Lu Ning hesitated to speak.

Saint Qinglan looked at Lu Ning with an expression as if he were looking at a beast: "...You don't expect me to give you this rag to wear, do you? Are you even human?!"

Lu Ning said with a serious expression, "Of course I'm a person, I'm a normal person!"

Saint Qinglan: [?_??]
