Chapter 28 Gray Fog
Night.
In Bai Donglin's guest room.
Brother and sister Liu Dafu sat on the chairs, staring blankly at Bai Donglin doing stretching exercises.
Dynamic side lunge stretch, prayer stretch behind the back, standing forward bend quadriceps stretch...
Is this the reason why Brother Bai is so powerful? Is this some kind of mysterious body-building technique?
Liu Dafu was thoughtful and couldn't help but be curious, so he asked:
"Brother Bai, what kind of body-building technique do you use? Why does it look so, so strange?"
Liu Dafu really couldn't think of any adjective to use; these movements looked very simple and did not cause any fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Bai Donglin kept moving, replying as he did so:
"Oh, this is a stretching exercise. I do it every day before going to bed. It can improve my sleep quality."
"Phew~ It feels so good. Would you like a cup of hot milk?"
Stopping his action, Bai Donglin took out a can of milk from the Sumeru Ring, placed it on the formation on the wooden table, pressed a button, a flash of light passed, and the milk was instantly heated.
I have to say that many places in this world are quite convenient. The formations, inscriptions, runes, and all aspects of life are perfectly integrated.
Aura is a clean and universal energy source that fills the space between heaven and earth and can be used at any time. Its advantages are much greater than the electricity of the previous life, and it provides the world with the foundation for developing an "industrial society."
"Brother Bai, pour me a drink!" Zi Xiaoling's eyes lit up. She was most passionate about eating and drinking.
Bai Donglin raised his eyebrows. He was tall and slender, with an elegant and mature temperament. If he didn't say it, no one would think he was only thirteen years old.
He poured a cup of hot milk for each of them, and poured himself a large cup as well, sitting in a chair and drinking it slowly.
"Burp~ It tastes so good!"
Zi Xiaoling squinted her eyes and said with a look of satisfaction, with a circle of milky white milk around her little mouth.
Bai Donglin nodded in approval. This milk was a specialty of the Nanyang Kingdom, produced by an animal called the red-haired cow. It was mellow and rich, sweet and delicious, and had no fishy smell even without being processed. He had a lot of it in his Xumi Ring.
Liu Dafu was speechless, feeling that he was not from the same world as them. It was so dangerous outside, was it time to taste the milk?
He checked the talismans again to see if there were any flaws. Bai Donglin's room was already covered with all kinds of talismans, densely packed on the door, walls, and windows.
He also used spirit stones to set up several layers of barrier formations and early warning spells.
When you are out, there are many dangers and you can never be too careful. This is his principle of conduct.
"Ah~ I'm going to sleep, you guys can do whatever you want."
Bai Donglin yawned, rubbed his eyes, climbed into bed and prepared to sleep.
There was only one bed in the room, so of course he was going to use it. He kindly made a bed on the floor for Zi Xiaoling, but as for Liu Dafu, he said he didn't need it.
"I'm going to sleep too, good night, senior brother!" Zi Xiaoling happily got into bed, not complaining that she had to sleep on the floor.
Liu Dafu shook his head and sat cross-legged on the ground, silently moving the spiritual energy while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
…
Bottom cabin.
The bronze box shook, and a gray smoke thicker than last night came out.
"Sensing...node,...attach...stop..."
“Hehehe…”
The gray smoke laughed eerily again, swirled around, passed through the wall of the ship, and flew towards the passenger area.
Captain Wang Lufei was afraid of causing unrest, so he decided to block the news. However, the ship was so small and densely populated, and word spread quickly, and almost everyone knew about it.
So at night, except for a few careful people, the rest did not sleep and were on guard carefully, not wanting to see more than a hundred people die in obscure ways.
Unfortunately, the power of the gray fog was beyond everyone's imagination. It ignored all the formations, barriers, talismans and other means.
The gray fog was moving extremely fast and was even stronger than last night. The monk on guard in the house was swallowed up by the gray fog before he could react.
The gray fog was unbridled and would pounce on any living person it encountered, even the patrol teams would not be spared.
It soon devoured more than four hundred people, which alarmed the guards on the ship. The alarm sounded and the entire Blue was brightly lit in an instant.
Patrol teams composed of elite monks ran past quickly, searching everywhere.
The gray fog reached its limit and did not continue hunting. It circled and flew below the deck.
The gray mist did not return to the bronze box, but moved around as if looking for something.
It wasn't long before the gray fog reached the core of the Azure, a small space filled with densely packed intricate inscriptions, all connected to a silver sphere in the center.
The silver sphere is the energy core of the Azure, the most important part of the Azure, and the place with the most stringent defense.
I didn't expect the gray fog to break through so easily.

The gray fog continued to circle around the energy core, as if it was sensing something but did not take action immediately.
Less than a cup of tea later, the gray fog seemed to sense something, and it rolled violently and instantly drilled into the silver sphere.
White light and black light kept alternating on the silver sphere. Although the energy core was very important, it did not have the ability to defend against the enemy. Eventually the white light went out and it was completely scrapped.
“Hehehe…”
Gray fog laughed strangely, and then returned to the bronze box in the cabin. The patterns on the bronze box came alive again, twisting slightly, looking evil and terrifying.
At the moment the energy core was destroyed, the inscriptions all over the Blue flickered for a while, and finally went out completely, slowing down until it stopped completely.
The entire Azure was plunged into darkness in an instant, with screams of terror heard everywhere. Humans are naturally afraid of darkness, especially when they know that there are horrible things that can devour souls lurking around them.
Many people were so frightened that they had a mental breakdown and screamed.
Fortunately, after a while, the lights came on again, and the backup energy source was activated.
Unfortunately, this energy is very weak and cannot drive the huge Blue at all. It can only maintain the use of some infrastructure.
The lights came back on and the panicked crowd gradually calmed down.
Captain Wang Lufei was busy and exhausted. He and his guard team searched the Blue several times, but found no trace of the murderer. Only corpses were found one after another, exactly the same as last night, all of them died because their souls were devoured.
When the energy core of the Azure was destroyed, his face turned pale, thinking to himself, "Oh no! The other party is going to kill us all!" He turned his mind, there was still a spare energy core on the Azure, but it would take at least three days to replace the core.
Moreover, the enemy could easily break through the Azure's most tightly guarded core space. What was the point of replacing it? The enemy could still easily destroy the energy core. The only way was to find and eliminate it first, or abandon the ship. The enemy clearly regarded the Azure as a hunting ground.
Save your life first, and wait for rescue to arrive before taking back the Blue.
Captain Wang Lufei continued to lead the team in the search, hoping to find some clues. He had also made up his mind that if he still could not find any trace of the other party tonight, he would abandon the ship and go ashore at dawn tomorrow.
Although the Nujiang River is wide, the Canglan is not too far from the shore, only about ten miles away. With the means of the cultivators, it does not take much effort.
Wang Lufei knew clearly that when tomorrow morning came and the death toll tonight was exposed, those monks would abandon their ship and go ashore even if he didn't say anything.
The reason why they have not left now is that they are optimistic and think they will not be the next one. The second reason is that they have not realized the seriousness of the problem.
The passengers abandoned the ship and went ashore. Such an incident caused great damage to the reputation of their chamber of commerce. No one would favor such an insecure chamber of commerce.
As the main person in charge, my future is bleak and I will also be punished by the Chamber of Commerce!
Thinking of this, Wang Lufei's face darkened and he searched even harder.
