Chapter 591 593 Night Exploration of Black Mist Ridge
Rong Xianxian instructed Pan Yang to guard the camp and deal with any situation as it occurred. She changed into a neat set of clothes, controlled the flying carpet, and flew towards the Black Mist Ridge, quickly disappearing into the night.
The place name Black Mist Ridge existed before the end of the world. It was named Black Mist Ridge because this place is often shrouded in a layer of black fog. However, there are no factories emitting exhaust gas nearby, nor are there dense populations. How did this black fog form?
The atmospheric monitoring department once conducted research on this black fog and found that there are no substances harmful to the human body in the black fog. They could neither find the cause of the formation of the black fog nor find a way to eliminate it.
Rong Xianxian flew on the flying carpet for about ten minutes and saw a towering mountain range in front of him. It was marked on the original map that the Black Mist Ridge area was just a low hill. After the weather changed, the overall terrain of this area rose by nearly 100 meters. Now, looking at this mountainous area, Rong Xianxian could tell by visual observation that the highest peak was definitely over a thousand meters above sea level.
Rong Xianxian looked at the Soul-Devouring Sword in her hand. The Soul-Devouring Sword had no reaction to the black mist that was everywhere around her. She looked inside her body and found that there was no black mist inside her body either.
However, judging from the material aura, this black mist is clearly the same substance as the one that was wreaking havoc in the red-eyed monster's body and was devoured by the Soul-Devouring Sword. The Soul-Devouring Sword can devour the black mist in the red-eyed monster's body, so why does it have no reaction to the black mist that permeates the air?
Rong Xianxian flew low on a flying carpet, holding a high-powered flashlight, and flew towards the area with the thickest fog in Black Mist Ridge.
The night was dark, and under the hazy fog, it was even more eerie. The mountains and rocks stood in a forest, the grass and trees were silent, there were no insects chirping, and there was no wind or grass moving. There was a dead silence between heaven and earth, and it seemed that even the air was still. It was so quiet that I could almost hear my own heartbeat, "thump, thump."
Rong Xianxian felt her mouth was a little dry. This desolate wilderness was eerie and dark, and there was no sign of movement. The more she looked, the weirder it seemed.
She activated all the talismans she was wearing, checked that she had enough spiritual energy in her body, took the Soul-Devouring Sword in her hand, and mustered up the courage to continue flying forward.
She flew towards the direction where the fog was thickest until a black "wall" appeared in her sight. To be precise, it was a wall made of black fog. The fog was so thick that it almost condensed into a solid, and not a single ray of light could penetrate.
Seeing this, Rong Xianxian was a little hesitant. Should she go in or not?
Thinking of the lives of more than a hundred people behind her, she decided to find out what was going on. After making up her mind, Rong Xianxian flew straight in on the flying carpet.
There was still thick black fog behind the black fog wall. In this environment, the strong flashlight could only illuminate an area less than one meter around her body. Suddenly, she heard the sound of flowing water.
Rong Xianxian immediately held her breath and concentrated, trying to lock onto the direction from which the sound of flowing water came. However, she did not hear the sound of flowing water. Instead, she heard a series of "bang bang bang" footsteps, so loud that it seemed to be ringing right next to her ears.
The footsteps were so heavy, logically speaking, it should be the presence of a huge monster, but why didn't the ground shake?
Before Rong Xianxian could figure it out, she heard a "gulp" and something was thrown into the water.
This time Rong Xianxian determined the direction of the water flow. She controlled the flying carpet to slowly descend. She shone the high-intensity flashlight in the direction where something had just fallen into the water. When she saw the "thing" in front of her, "Ah", she suddenly felt like her scalp was about to explode. She saw a head with wide-open eyes and a look of horror. The head floated above the water and the body sank in the water. The water was not normal water, but black water. In the light of the flashlight, she could see countless corpses soaked in the black water, and black mist slowly rising from the water. Some of the mist was light, some was thick, some was condensed into shape, and some was scattered.
So horrible.
"Swoosh" Rong Xianxian felt a breeze blowing past her ears. Suddenly, something seemed to come into her mind. When she came back to look, it turned out to be a ball of black fog. This black fog was very solid, unlike the scattered black fog in the red-eyed monster's body.
Rong Xianxian communicated with the Soul-Devouring Sword through her soul. The white light spot inside the Soul-Devouring Sword hummed and rushed towards the black fog, wrestling with it. The white light spot was the soul of the Soul-Devouring Sword, which had the ability to devour. The black fog was no match for the white light spot and was quickly devoured.
Although the time was short, Rong Xianxian was still frightened. The black fog came without a trace, but it was able to break through the barriers of her body and get into her brain. Looking at the situation on the water surface, who knows how much of this thing is left?
This is definitely not a good place. We should evacuate as soon as possible and think of a solution.
Rong Xianxian drove the flying carpet upwards. When she looked up, she saw dense red eyes all around her.
Rong Xianxian felt as if the heartstring that she had been holding on to suddenly broke with a bang. In an instant, her brain seemed to lose the ability to think. While flying upwards, she took out one gasoline bomb after another from the foggy space and threw them at the red eyes and the black water surface. At the same time, she threw a flare into the air. She wanted to see clearly what was happening around her.
Rong Xianxian put on protective glasses and looked around under the strong light. Below her was a lake surging with black water. The lake was vast with no visible edge. Countless corpses were soaking in the lake, and the lakeshore was surrounded by densely packed "people". These people were obviously dead people and monsters. Their bodies were rotten to varying degrees, and some even had broken hands and feet and different shapes. The only thing they had in common was that they all had red light in their eyes.
Being stared at by countless red eyes, Rong Xianxian's mouth became even drier. She hurriedly took out the bottle of spiritual marrow from the misty space and took a sip of the spiritual marrow to calm her nerves and replenish her spiritual energy.
Feeling the surging spiritual energy in her body, Rong Xianxian suddenly felt a little braver. Spiritual marrow is really a good thing for calming nerves.
Rong Xianxian looked down and saw that the gasoline incendiary bomb she had just thrown into the lake had long been extinguished, without any sparks. The red eyes burned by the gasoline incendiary bomb jumped into the lake one by one. After the flames went out, they crawled out one by one. And those who crawled out were obviously not just those who jumped into the lake. A ball of black mist drilled into a corpse, and the area where the eyes were on the corpse's face suddenly lit up, red, and crawled out.
No one knew what these black mists were. Not only could they penetrate into the bodies of living people, they could even control corpses.
Rong Xianxian's scalp tingled as she watched. She suppressed her psychological discomfort, steered the flying carpet closer to the shore, and chopped at one of the red-eyed heads with a knife.
