Chapter 112 Gray Mist and the Fine Demon Clan
A powerful expert at the Tongtian Realm personally visited the Qiushui Sect, and the investigation revealed that the gray mist did not originate from this realm, but rather entered through a spatial rift.
Someone attempted to seal this spatial rift, and they did succeed.
But soon, news came from other places that mountains and forests were being invaded by gray fog, and spatial rifts were increasing.
The gray fog will devour the spiritual energy here, and then slowly rob all living beings of their vitality.
Wherever they went, they left behind only desolation; the land dried up, the trees died, and even the mountains turned into gravel.
Sealing spatial rifts is no easy task, and powerful individuals cannot devote all their energy to it.
If there were only a few spatial rifts, they might disregard their own losses and try to seal them all.
However, in just over a decade, the number of spatial rifts has increased to dozens.
Those powerful individuals discovered that the gray fog spread extremely slowly and did not cause significant damage to the surrounding area.
However, if they keep chasing after the gray fog to seal it, it will consume a lot of their time and energy.
Over time, the powerful began to ignore the gray fog and stopped paying attention to it.
Until a few months ago, the rate of gray fog intrusion suddenly accelerated.
Spatial rifts stretching for hundreds of miles appeared successively on the edge of the region, and gray fog quickly spread across large areas of mountains, forests, and lakes.
This is also why the Ten Directions Academy held a grand competition and offered the rewards for the trials in the Spirit Realm.
Because the academy was worried, the Spirit Realm also suffered from the erosion of the gray fog.
As it turned out, their fears were indeed realized, because the original training ground at the entrance to the sixth floor had turned into a gray fog.
Of the eighteen levels of the Spirit Realm, the gray mist has already eroded thirteen levels, leaving only the last five levels intact, but it is estimated that they will not remain for long.
To date, the only ways the upper echelons have dealt with the gray fog are sealing it and defense; they haven't found a better method.
Furthermore, the defensive array will also be corroded by the gray fog, unless spirit stones are constantly replenished to support the array.
However, spirit stones are not inexhaustible. Although the gray mist seems to absorb spiritual energy slowly, it can't stop the gray mist from increasing in number.
Given the current situation, the gray fog will eventually engulf the entire Misty Heaven Realm.
However, according to the latest news, some powerful individuals have discovered that alien races have appeared in the gray fog.
They look very different from humans; they are slender, short, and frail, and can transform into long, thin shapes like seaweed at any time. Humans call them the Fine Demons.
Spell attacks are effective against the Slimes, but not very effective, especially when they transform into slender, algae-like forms, where they are essentially immune to spell attacks.
Fortunately, they didn't maintain this transformation for long.
Among the demon race, there are different ranks, seemingly distinguished by color—purple, blue, green, and yellow.
The most powerful among them are the purple shrews, whose transformation time lasts up to half an hour. The transformation times for the blue, green, and yellow shrews are 15 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute, respectively.
This period may not seem long, but during this time, the Demon Clan is immune to magic and only ordinary physical attacks are effective.
The problem is that after they transform, they become slender and flexible, and move extremely fast, making them difficult to hit with physical attacks.
If the Demon Clan launches a full-scale attack, the difficulty of winning this war is self-evident.
No wonder those powerful beings at the Heavenly Realm decided to abandon this world and seek a new one.
Rather than dealing with such a tough nut to crack, it's easier to find an alternative approach.
As for the low-level cultivators and ordinary mortals in the Misty Heaven Realm, the strong have always regarded them as ants. Tell me: who would care about the life or death of an ant?
After reading the detailed information about the Gray Mist and the Fine Demon Clan, all the students felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Difficult! Extremely difficult!
Humans are not afraid of known difficulties, but the Gray Mist and the Fine Demons are unknown to them.
Based on our current understanding of the Gray Fog and the Fine Demons, humanity is simply not capable of dealing with them.
