Chapter 599 601 Soul Power Restraint
"Of course I want to go with my son, but I'm afraid these elders in the clan don't want us to leave." Mother Jiang's face turned unhappy when she thought of what happened a few days ago.
"We can't take care of so many things. Our parents passed away half a year ago, and we have nothing else to worry about. We didn't leave before because we wanted to wait for Xiaojie to come back. Those elders have their own children and grandchildren, so they can't take care of us." The parents that Jiang's father mentioned were Jiang Jie's grandparents. The two elderly people had been living with Jiang's father and mother before.
Jiang Jie's two uncles left the cave and went to the safe area before the old men died, and sent the two old men here before leaving.
If it weren't for waiting for Jiang Jie to come back, Jiang's father would have taken his family away long ago. The collective life seemed harmonious, but in fact it was full of conflicts. In the past six months, several families whose children did well have moved away one after another.
"Dad, Mom, I'm coming in!" Jiang Jie shouted from outside.
Two rooms were dug out in the cave where the Jiang family lived, one for Jiang Jie and his brothers, and one for Jiang's parents. There was a small hall outside.
"Come in quickly. As soon as you came back, you went visiting people everywhere with your brother. Come here and let me see you." Mother Jiang said happily.
"Dad, I heard everything you just said. Are you really willing to go with me?" Jiang Jie came over and asked in a low voice.
"What else can we do if we don't leave? There are few decent girls in the village. We can't just watch you and your brother remain single, can we?" Father Jiang said meaningfully.
"In fact, you may not be able to find a wife even if you go out!" Jiang Jie knew what his father was planning as soon as he heard what he said.
You can't be impatient about finding a wife.
Jiang Jie didn't expect that his parents would decide to leave the cave and live in a safe area without him saying anything.
Tianhe Mercenary Group Camp
Rong Xianxian learned from Song Min that the people in the Gushizhai Safe Zone were now morale-destroying and order was almost broken down. She couldn't help but feel worried. If the Gushizhai Safe Zone officials did not have the ability to organize a retreat, it would be impossible for the more than 100 people in her team to complete the task of organizing the retreat of all the survivors.
The communication box was running low on energy. After much thought, Rong Xianxian decided not to contact the military for the time being. She would first go to the Gushizhai safe zone to see the situation. Anyway, no matter what the situation was there, she had to go and get the batch of black jade.
"You guys go if you want to go. I won't go!" Song Min said angrily when she saw that Rong Xianxian was still determined to go on the mission.
"You came from the city, and you don't have any relatives, friends or other people you miss there." He Wen asked Song Min curiously.
"No, there are few good people there now. They are just a bunch of thugs." There was a trace of sadness in Song Min's eyes.
Whether actively or passively, most people in the city have been stained with the blood of their compatriots, and no one is innocent.
"I understand that you don't want to go. This place is not far from the Qiming Mountain safe zone. We will enter Gushi Village tomorrow and you can go to Qiming Mountain." Even if she escaped alive, she would not want to go back.
"You really won't force me to go?" Song Min looked unconvinced. She was the person who knew the situation in the safe zone best, and having her as a guide would make things much easier.
"I'm not forcing you, but I saved your life after all, so it's okay for me to ask you something, right?" Rong Xianxian asked politely.
"Ask me whatever you want. I'll tell you everything I know." Song Min agreed.
"Did the strange murder happen in the Gushizhai safe zone before or after the black fog enveloped the Gushizhai area? Was there any major movement before and after the black fog formed?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"You asked a tricky question. No one in the entire Gushizhai Safe Zone knows this matter better than me. More than a month ago, our team transported a batch of goods to the Qimingshan Safe Zone. On the way back, we passed by the Black Mist Ridge. At that time, I heard a dull explosion in the Black Mist Ridge. After the explosion, black fog rose. The Black Mist Ridge is a forbidden area that the authorities have announced is not allowed to be approached. So although we were a little surprised, we didn't go in to check. After returning to the safe zone, only one night later, the black fog spread to the safe zone the next day. Then a strange murder occurred in the safe zone. At the same time, the safe zone was surrounded by a group of red-eyed monsters. People kept dying in the city, and there were monsters everywhere outside the city. At first, the authorities actively investigated and sent troops out of the city to clean up the monsters. The order in the city was okay. After about half a month, the army suffered heavy casualties, and there were more and more strange murders. However, the authorities never gave everyone a clear explanation. Slowly, the order in the city collapsed." Song Min explained the time when the black fog broke out and the time when the strange murders occurred.
"Who are the people who died in the murder case? Do they have anything in common?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Those who died in homicides included men and women, young and old, but they were all practitioners. This can be considered a common point!" Song Min said, recalling the official homicide investigation results.
"Of course it counts." Hearing this, Rong Xianxian was almost certain that the so-called murder was definitely caused by the black fog. Yesterday in the Qiming Mountain Safe Zone, she heard that the black fog could only invade practitioners and had no effect on ordinary people.
Combining what happened to their team, Song Min, and what she saw at Black Mist Ridge, Rong Xianxian has already seen two forms of black mist. The condensed black mist can invade practitioners of level three and above, and can control corpses soaked in the Black Mist Lake. The unformed black mist can invade practitioners and monsters below level three, affecting their minds.
Before the black fog erupted, the explosion Song Min heard should have been the noise made by the officers and soldiers sent by the military to mine the black jade. The military certainly did not expect that mining the black jade would cause this disaster!
"He Wen, tomorrow you will bring all the practitioners below the middle stage of Qiqiao Realm back to the safe zone of Qiming Mountain and wait for us there." Rong Xianxian said to He Wen.
"Yes!" He Wen nodded in response.
"Song Min, you can go to Qiming Mountain with He Wen tomorrow."
"Okay." Song Min agreed, but when Rong Xianxian asked them to leave, everyone else left and Song Min hesitated and stayed until the end.
"Why don't you leave? Haven't we arranged a tent for you?" Rong Xianxian looked at her strangely.
"How come you can talk in my mind?" Song Min looked at Rong Xianxian defensively.
"Well, I don't know, but I guess it's because of the knife I slashed you with before. While helping you devour the black fog, my knife may have accidentally devoured your soul power, and then this happened." Rong Xianxian felt a little guilty. Although she didn't do it on purpose, this incident was indeed a big hidden danger for Song Min.
"Then please give it back to me!" Song Min said anxiously.
"This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. I don't know how to return it to you. How about you try it yourself?"
