However, the system's notification came a little too late. Chaos and Xie Zhou had already inhaled some of the mist. Soon, Chaos and Xie Zhou discovered that although they wouldn't faint in the mist, their released mental energy was suppressed, and they couldn't perceive anything.
Xie Zhou hated this state the most. He clenched his fist, ready to punch the real culprit. Chaos also sensed something was wrong and wanted to check where Xie Zhou was. However, his mental power had already been blocked and could not be used. But when the mist rose.
He clearly remembered where Xie Zhou was, but now he was shrouded in fog, and everything around him was a vast expanse of white. He couldn't tell which way was which, and he couldn't be sure if Xie Zhou would move. So he stood there at a loss.
Then, not long after, Chaos called out Xie Zhou's name loudly.
"Thank you, Zhou! Thank you, Zhou!...Master! Master!"
But when he found there was still no response, Chaos felt a little panicked and raised his voice again, but still there was no response.
"Thank you, Zhou!..."
It tried to break through those barriers but found it even more impossible.
Meanwhile, Xie Zhou remained in place, frantically calling out to Hun Dun, but neither side heard a sound. It seemed that the mist could not only shield mental power but also temporarily block the transmission of sound.
The two were actually very close, but they couldn't find each other at all. They slowly groped their way through the fog.
But they couldn't find anything unusual, and they didn't know who was releasing the fog. It was really infuriating.
After walking for half an hour without finding each other, the two sat down to rest. Suddenly, a very powerful aura came from the spot.
"Boom..."
A tremendous roar shook the heavens and the earth, and no one knew where it came from.
However, both Xie Zhou and Hun Dun, being sensitive, sensed something amiss behind them. When they turned around, they realized that they didn't know what was going on in the space they were in.
The ground began to crumble and crack, and the chaos immediately panicked and hurriedly got up to run forward. For some unknown reason, the space they were in was destroyed by a powerful aura, and it looked like half of the space was about to collapse.
Xie Zhou and Chaos had no choice but to keep running forward.
Xie Zhou ran ahead quickly and far, as if something terrifying was coming to take her life from behind, but as she ran, she sensed a strange yet familiar aura ahead.
Xie Zhou quickly realized whose it was.
It was the aura emanating from those modified monsters; the aura she detected was all around her.
Xie Zhou held his breath, looking at the collapsed ground behind him while also dealing with the modified monsters. Fortunately, the monsters did not come out.
She had no choice but to slow down and cautiously explore the area ahead.
Xie Zhou didn't dare to move. He was now in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Boom..."
"Slap slap..."
The sound of the ground collapsing spread rapidly over the area, leaving Xie Zhou with no choice but to run forward. She soon discovered many modified monsters, which were currently leaning against vines that had appeared out of nowhere in the space. They were temporarily bound, but their eyes were still closed. Xie Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move slowly among the unawakened monsters.
But the sound of the space collapsing also spread here. How could such a huge sound wave not awaken these modified monsters?
Xie Zhou was prepared, but she tried to keep her voice down to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble. However, Xie Zhou soon passed through a wave of modified monsters.
She happened to be in the center of it, surrounded by monsters. Seeing those monsters so close at hand, Xie Zhou couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, things didn't go as planned, and the spatial collapse still interfered with those monsters.
The monsters quickly awoke, all emitting a piercing cry. Xie Zhou had been waiting for this moment, but he never expected it to appear so soon.
"Aaaaaah!..."
The monsters quickly broke free of the vines, and Xie Zhou took advantage of this opportunity to run far away, but she still found many monsters around her.
A large number of monsters rushed towards her, whether because an outsider had intruded or because the space behind them was collapsing and they were fleeing for their lives, it was unclear.
Xie Zhou engaged in battle with the monsters.
However, this time the monsters were a little different. Xie Zhou simply opened the sword formation as usual, and countless phantoms of swords floated in the air. With just a wave of her hand, all those swords would attack the group of monsters.
But just as all the tools were falling, some monsters seemed to have anticipated it and dodged the attack in advance, which Xie Zhou found a little strange.
They immediately launched another fierce attack, but the monsters seemed to know in advance and dodged them all, rarely getting hit. However, these attacks did not cause any real damage.
His attack failed again.
"boom!……"
Xie Zhou was also retreating steadily. Seeing that the situation was not good, the system reminded him at this time: "Host, these modified monsters are no longer ordinary monsters, but have gained consciousness!"
"And they also have a skill: to trigger earthquakes at any time. This can cause the ground in space to warp, just like the spatial collapses the host has seen. It's a quick and decisive attack..."
Xie Zhou never expected these modified things to be so troublesome. He mustered his spirits and quickly used the lightning power he had acquired to attack them. Suddenly, something came running from another path, which startled Xie Zhou and made him lose his composure.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was chaos.
Xie Zhou smiled and said, "Chaos, you're late this time."
It's unclear whether Xie Zhou was just naturally lucky, as he was able to discover a large number of monsters on his path, while Chaos's path was unexpectedly smooth, without encountering any obstacles.
"Okay! Let's start tidying up..."
"Bang! Thud! Thud!..."
In another perfectly coordinated collaboration, the two worked together to swiftly eliminate all the monsters.
"Aaaaaah!..."
With their seamless cooperation, those monsters were no match at all; they were basically cannon fodder and were dealt with in no time.
Looking at the corpses, Xie Zhou and Chaos showed no pity whatsoever. The spatial rift had miraculously stopped being destroyed, and seeing that there was no way back, the two continued forward.
