Everyone was taken aback.
Osiris asked with some surprise, "Anlan, you don't actually think that the Hand of the Underworld and the Corpse Mother are essentially the same, do you?"
An Lan smiled and said, "Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. Isn't that how scientific practice comes about?"
Jerry said speechlessly, "...This idea is completely illogical."
As they talked, they soon entered the fog.
Fog No. 101 was, after all, a medium-sized fog. As soon as Lu Ning entered the fog, he discovered that the concentration of mental pollution was much higher than that of Fog No. 233.
An Lan glanced around at the instruments and then said, "Hmm... the concentration in the outer area is about the same as the records, not much has changed. In comparison, the concentration of fog number 233 has changed more."
Yarn nodded. As a saint who had visited both of these mists, he had the deepest impression: "The changes here are indeed not significant."
Osiris cautiously said, "Let's be careful. The outer and inner parts of the Fog 233 are quite different."
An Lan nodded: "Osiris is right. I suspect that because the 'wall' mentioned by the Hand of the Underworld has cracked, the mist area should be the first area to show signs of mutation. Since the Return of the Dead Brigade is active in Mist No. 233, other mist areas may also show signs of other cult activities."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.
An Lan is absolutely right.
The outer area of the No. 101 Mist is a grassland. Under the mental pollution of the mist, the grassland has obviously also undergone some changes. The grass on it clearly shows signs of life. As the group walked by, the grass bent backward as if to avoid them.
However, although these grasses showed signs of life, they were not dangerous.
Besides the grass, there are also some mutated beasts, such as some mutated wolves, rabbits, and lions. These are common creatures in the grassland ecosystem.
These monstrous beasts exhibit different lesions and varying degrees of strength.
Some lions may not even be as strong as mutated rabbits.
The most powerful monster Lu Ning and his companions encountered on their journey was a giant rabbit that was over four meters tall.
The rabbit has three heads, sharp and menacing teeth, and its fur is three colors: green, red, and blue.
The three rabbit heads can respectively breathe fire, frost, and poison gas.
These three rabbits were even at the eighth level of strength.
This is in the outer region, and such a powerful monster is extremely rare.
If the environment hadn't remained unchanged, An Lan and the others would have even suspected that something was amiss.
An Lan guessed: "Perhaps it's because there's a problem with that so-called 'wall,' causing some individuals in the mist to mutate to a deeper degree. This rabbit is an example."
Of course, while these three rabbits are not weak, it depends on who they are compared to.
Compared to their squad, they were naturally no match and were instantly killed by Su Qi's energy blast.
As Lu Ning ventured deeper, he discovered that the previously illusory and distorted phantoms in the mist were becoming increasingly solid.
These phantoms are present in almost every corner, even in base cities with strong defensive fields like Base City 1.
When Lu Ning first emerged from the mist, the illusion was still not very clear.
Over the years, the solidity of the phantom has increased several times compared to before.
And it's much higher in the fog.
Although Lu Ning had already noticed that the phantoms inside the fog were denser than those outside when he was in Fog No. 233, it was still considerably less dense than that in Fog No. 101.
Lu Ning can now even see the appearance of those phantoms.
These phantoms were humanoid, beast-like, and twisted clumps of flesh.
Most of the phantoms have bloated flesh and blood tissue on their bodies. Even humanoid phantoms often have tentacles growing on their bodies. Some have eyes all over their bodies, while others have mouths all over their bodies.
The largest of the phantoms was a seven-legged, beast-like monster.
This monster was over a hundred meters tall and wandered aimlessly across the grassland.
Its massive leg slammed down, stepping on a giant wolf, and passed right through it.
Although Lu Ning could see the appearance of these phantoms, they were still illusions.
Just then, Lu Ning noticed something and looked to his left.
In that spot, a humanoid phantom, over three meters tall, with each hand composed of more than ten tentacles and its face covered in eyeballs, was looking at him.
His eyes were fixed on Lu Ning, unblinking.
Lu Ning stopped and looked into the humanoid phantom's eyes.
An Lan and the others standing nearby were taken aback when they saw Lu Ning suddenly stop.
An Lan looked in the direction Lu Ning was looking, but there was nothing there.
An Lan remained wary and asked, "Lu Ning, what are you looking at?"
Lu Ning said, "Perhaps it's an illusion from another dimension?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Arne frowned and asked, "What is a phantom from another dimension?"
Lu Ning shook his head: "You can't see it. I've asked many people, and only I can see it."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
An Lan asked, somewhat confused, "What kind of thing is that?"
"They are similar to the diseased people, and they are everywhere, but they seem to be in a different space from reality, so no one can see them and they are not affected."
Upon hearing Lu Ning's explanation, An Lan and the others widened their eyes in astonishment.
They heard one of the sentences Lu Ning said.
Steve swallowed hard: "...Everywhere?"
