Chapter 2257 The Disaster of Red Mist
(4, 0);
A flame silently burned on Sharon's motionless body, making a sizzling sound, causing the surrounding practitioners who had already fallen into despair to look up in surprise.
"What happened to this Sharon? Why did it suddenly catch fire..."
"How could it spontaneously combust? There must be some powerful cultivator who came to our aid and helped us get rid of this damn Sharon!"
"But I've seen the city lord deal with a salon. Even if he wants to deal with a salon, he needs to prepare for it several days in advance and spend several hours to complete it..."
"Yeah, that's strange, could it be that the red mist has spread to our area?"
"Akagiri... hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to gamble my life on luck!"
Many practitioners with low strength were discussing the issue, and the word "red fog" mentioned among them caught Lin Yue's attention.
"Red mist...?" Lin Yue murmured in confusion.
At this time, Lu Yu also flew over from not far away. After hearing what Lin Yue said, he continued, "You heard it too? From what I heard from them, the red fog should be a natural disaster in this large area. I don't know why those who escaped from the city were all cultivators, but there were very few mortals."
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This matter is a bit strange."
Then he looked at an old man beside him and asked, "Old man, what is the red mist that everyone just mentioned?"
"Eh?"
Hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man was stunned and gave him a puzzled look.
"You are also a cultivator, how come you have never heard of the Red Mist? Did you come from another great domain in the north?"
Lin Yue nodded and said, "I am new here and I have never heard of the Red Mist. Please explain it to me."
But at the same time, he was also confused. The old man actually mentioned other large regions in the north. Could it be that the red fog was not just some kind of natural disaster existing in this large region as Lu Yu guessed?
"Okay, then I'll tell you. We only heard about this red fog in the past two days." The old man stroked his long white beard and explained slowly.
"I heard that it came from the south and has now occupied a lot of the territory. That's why we collectively migrated to the north, hoping to reach other northern territories before it arrives. I advise you to quickly return the same way you came!"
At this point, the old man's face had become extremely solemn, and he was obviously feeling a lot of pressure from the reputation of Chi Wu.
But Lin Yue and Lu Yu were a little confused. For a moment they couldn't figure out what this existence called red fog was.
The old man seemed to see the confusion on the two people's faces, and said apologetically, "I may not have explained it clearly. This red fog is actually a kind of red fog, but it contains terrible dangers. I heard that some people died after being exposed to it, and some people turned into mummies. There are all kinds of deaths, which are very scary!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Is it possible that the poison gas can be spread across large domains...?"
Lin Yue at the side asked, "Old sir, but I see that most of the people coming out of the city are cultivators, and I rarely see mortals. Why is that?"
In the entire world of the living, although the number of cultivators is not scarce, the overall proportion is still lower than that of mortals, so the fact that no mortals can be seen now seems a bit abnormal.
Hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man also said with a strange look on his face, "The reason is very simple, because that kind of red fog will not cause any effect on mortals. Only cultivators will be in danger if they come into contact with it. Therefore, most of the mortals in the city did not leave. The mortals that were occasionally seen were just the families of some cultivators."
"Mortals will not be affected? There is actually such a saying..." Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
It would be fine if it was just a poisonous gas that could spread, but the target was only on practitioners and had no effect on mortals with weak bodies, which made him think too much.
Could it be that this existence called "Red Mist" is specifically aimed at practitioners?
"Old man, do you know where the source of the red mist is? Where does it come from?"
After hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man shook his head, and said helplessly, "I don't know the answer to this question either. After all, it's only been a few days since the news about the Red Mist came in, and several cities have already fallen, not to mention such important news."
After hearing this, Lin Yue also understood that the red fog was specifically effective against cultivators. Even if a cultivator knew where it came from, he might have already perished. As for mortals who were not affected by it, they had no means to quickly transmit information, so important information like the origin of the fog naturally could not be transmitted...
"Thank you, old man, for clearing up my confusion."
After clasping his fists to the old man, Lin Yue took Lu Yu away from the crowd.
As soon as he walked out of the crowd, Lu Yu asked him anxiously, "Boy, what do you think about this matter?"
Hearing this, Lin Yue's expression gradually became solemn.
He sighed and said, "This matter is much more serious than you and I imagined at the beginning. Not only does it involve the entire Yang World, but the speed of its spread does not seem to be very slow. The harm it brings may be much greater than the blood sacrifice that has been carried out in Lingyao Empire!"
"That's right! But I think the weirdest thing is that it only works on practitioners. Is this a coincidence or...?" Lu Yu said halfway, his face turned ugly. (5,0);
Lu Yu suddenly remembered the saying of the end of the era. Could this be a sign that the era was about to be destroyed? He could feel that the frequency of similar disasters was far beyond the usual...
Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "No matter what, we still have to return to the human world first and deal with the matter of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance in advance."
Since the red fog will affect all practitioners, it is also a severe test for a large force like the Alliance of All Races composed of multiple races.
However, Lin Yue still felt uneasy. If the red fog was really like what the old man had said, and if a cultivator got into it, they would die, and it would continue to spread, then where would these cultivators hide in the end? Sooner or later, all the large areas in the Yang world would be invaded by the spreading red fog, and they would have nowhere to escape...
Is it possible that they can only hide in some isolated paradise, or use the means of the strongest to open up a space for practitioners to survive?
