Chapter 693 498. Murderous Ghost Mist
Somehow, Li Jin suddenly thought that in the two years he had been at sea, he seemed to have seen fog on the sea only in the first half year. After the next year and a half, or to be precise, after the end of the world, he never saw fog on the sea again.
So, there is something strange about this thick fog!
He quickly stood up and shouted anxiously to Jian Chengan.
"Jian Cheng'an, wake up quickly!"
"Jian Cheng'an!"
Li Jin shouted twice, and Jian Chengan finally opened his eyes.
"It's foggy, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Cheng'an quickly stood up. The spirit stone in his hand had turned into powder. He didn't smell it for long because the thick fog was about to spread over.
The two men pulled out two thick torches from the fire and walked quickly towards the island. In the pitch-black night, the island was like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
The two people, who originally thought that the island was more dangerous, had been moving around in it for a long time and did not see any living creature, or even a single animal.
"Look at these trees, aren't they all dead?"
Li Jin looked at the towering trees, all of which looked withered, as if they had been completely dead for a long time.
Jian Cheng'an frowned. He raised the torch in his hand and looked around. The whole island seemed to be like this. There was not a single bit of green. Everything was withered. This was very strange.
"What happened here? Why are all the trees dead?"
"No wonder we couldn't hear any sound. There's no living thing on the entire island."
"What force can cause an island to wither and die?"
The two of them discussed in low voices as they walked.
As he was thinking, Jian Cheng'an couldn't help but take out a knife and cut the bark. The moment the knife cut the bark, a black liquid suddenly flowed out from the broken skin, emitting a foul odor.
"Likely poisoned."
Li Jin, who had experience in wilderness survival, concluded at a glance that the tree had died of poisoning. So what kind of poison could have caused all the trees on an island to die?
The two looked at each other and suddenly spoke in unison.
"Thick fog!"
"Go!"
Jian Chengan, who understood what was going on, immediately sped up and ran because the thick fog behind him suddenly spread faster.
Li Jin didn't even have time to look back, because he already felt a gust of water vapor coming towards him.
The two of them started a race against the spreading thick fog on this island. If they ran fast, they might have a chance of survival, but if they ran slowly, they would inevitably end up like this island.
So, the speed they had trained themselves in the life-and-death battle with the Eighteen Arhats came in handy. The two of them kept running and jumping in the mountains. No matter how fast they ran, the thick fog kept spreading behind them, chasing them closely.
Suddenly, Jian Chengan, who was running at full speed, suddenly thought of a question: Even if they successfully ran to the other side of the island, what if the other side was also surrounded by thick fog? Could they still escape?
This question was looming in Jian Cheng'an's mind. At this moment, he didn't dare to say it out loud and could only worry secretly in his heart.
At this time, Li Jin, who had not yet realized this problem, had only one thought in his mind: to run, run quickly, run as fast as possible, and not stop.
The thick fog spread very quickly. It seemed that in an instant, it surrounded half of the island and was still spreading.
"Oh no! Look!"
Li Jin looked up and suddenly saw thick fog spreading towards the other side of the island.
