An Lan smiled wryly: "I survived facing two demigods and so many saints this time. I feel like I've used up all my luck in this lifetime. I need to take a good rest now."
Even though An Lan had experienced many missions to explore the mist, this was definitely the most dangerous one yet.
In his previous exploration missions, he had never encountered a demigod-level being.
This time, it's even better, two at once.
Moreover, it also possesses the body of an evil god.
Even after emerging from the fog, An Lan still felt a lingering sense of unease.
Su Qi nodded repeatedly: "I need to take a break too."
Although Ella didn't say anything, she nodded repeatedly.
Fortunately, her abilities were suited for stealth; otherwise, she would have been among those who died this time.
Olissis sighed, then said, "It's a pity about Lingchuan and Jerry."
The others also fell silent, especially An Lan and her two companions.
All of them were ninth-tier awakeners, but compared to the luck of An Lan and the other two, Jerry and Ling Chuan were not so lucky.
Ya'en said calmly, "An Lan, after this, you should send Jerry and Ling Chuan's bodies back."
After all, they still had a mission to complete, and they wouldn't be able to stay in Base City 1 for long before heading to Mist City 3.
To be honest, Yann wasn't entirely confident about the safety of entering the Ruins of Return.
After all, even Mist No. 101 was already this dangerous, let alone Mist No. 3.
They might all die on their way to the Ruins of Return.
An Lan nodded slightly, her expression serious, and said, "Alright, leave it to us."
Su Qi and Steve also nodded slightly.
Soon the group emerged from the fog.
They determined their direction, and then Aishalin conjured ice blocks, which carried everyone to the location where they had previously hidden the off-road vehicle.
The group drove their off-road vehicles toward Base City 1.
Three days later, the group finally saw Base City 1 again.
When the majestic city walls of Base City 1 came into view, everyone's tense spirits finally relaxed a bit.
The vehicle soon arrived at the city gate. After inspection, everyone entered the city walls and returned to the base city.
Looking at the bustling streets and crowds of pedestrians in the base city.
Everyone was somewhat dazed.
Compared to the dangers lurking in the fog of No. 101, it felt like a completely different world to everyone.
After parking the SUV in the parking lot of Ya En's manor, Ya En glanced at everyone and said decisively, "Lu Ning and I will go report the situation. You all can rest."
Yann is in much better condition than when he first left the mist.
His emotions are gradually recovering. Although he is still somewhat numb, it is much better than when he first used that disposable dangerous product.
Osiris and the others all nodded.
Inside the No. 101 Mist, they had very little time to rest; they were practically constantly on the move.
Even though everyone present was a high-level awakened being, and even a saint, they were still mentally exhausted and under immense pressure.
At this moment, they naturally want to get some rest.
Yaen was also exhausted, but there were still tasks to be completed, so he naturally couldn't rest.
Osiris and the others went to Arn's villa to rest, while Lu Ning and Arn went to the headquarters of the Mist Bureau.
The headquarters was largely unchanged from when Lu Ning last visited; there were still many members of the Mist Bureau coming and going.
The two arrived at the elevator entrance, where they were checked by the same two high-level awakened individuals as before.
Upon seeing Ya'en and Lu Ning, both of them were somewhat surprised.
"Lord Yann? Didn't you go to the 101st Mist?"
Yaen nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, I just got back. We have something to report to the archives."
The two nodded quickly.
Then one of them asked curiously, "Lord Yann, how was the expedition? Did you find anything?"
Yaen glanced at the two of them and said, "This is a secret."
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions turned serious. It involved top-secret information from headquarters, so it was clear that Yann and his team had made a major discovery.
Without wasting any time, the two checked the two people's condition and then let them get on the elevator.
The two of them easily found their way to the archives on the basement floor.
After knocking on the iron gate of the archives, the gate opened quickly, and a uniquely shaped bamboo slip stood inside.
Qing Jian was also a little surprised to see Ya En and Lu Ning.
Her gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Yann, and she said calmly, "You don't seem to be in a good mental state."
Yern nodded: "Yes, it was caused by the use of a single-use, extremely dangerous substance."
Upon hearing this, Qing Jian immediately became curious: "For you to use a single-use, extremely dangerous item, is your opponent a powerhouse of the same level as you, or a demigod?"
Knowing that Qingjian was always very curious, Ya'en said helplessly, "Let's go inside and talk about it. This matter is a bit confidential, and the situation is not good."
Seeing Ya'en say this, Qing Jian seemed to be thinking and walked towards the desk.
As Ya'en and Lu Ning entered the archives, the iron gates closed.
Lu Ning looked back and discovered that it was actually several books floating in the air that were pushing the iron gate to close.
Qing Jian had already taken out her notebook, propped her cheek up with one hand, and looked at Ya En and Lu Ning with a curious expression, as if she were listening to a story.
"Tell me what you've been through."
Yan nodded and began to recount his experience of entering the Fog of Number 101.
From the initial fog wall, to the flying machines and survivors of an unknown civilization encountered within it, to the array in the lunar phase space and the rituals of the Moon Goddess Cult, and finally to the humus swamp and the Eternal Corridor encountered in Base City 65, as well as the incredibly powerful Yan Bing, and the Ruins of Return she spoke of.
Qingjian had initially acted as if she were listening to a story, but as Ya'en narrated, she unconsciously sat up straight, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, her expression becoming increasingly serious.
No matter how Qingjian's expression changed, the words on the book in front of her continued to appear, faithfully recording everything she heard.
When Ya'en finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Qing Jian's pale face, and he said, "So, the interior of the 101st Mist has mutated, and there are at least traces of two cult activities?"
Yern nodded, then added, "There may be traces of three cult activities. The hybrid demigod we encountered doesn't seem to have time-based power, but rather life-based power from the Corpse Mother, perhaps originating from the Corpse Mother Nest."
Qing Jian fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "According to what you've said, this so-called Eternal Corridor and the Corpse Mother Nest might be cooperating."
Yern nodded: "That's what I think too. Base City 65 is located in the core area of the Humus Swamp, but its timeline has been altered. If I were to say that the cultists in the Humus Mother Nest were completely unaware of this, I probably wouldn't believe it myself. They must have cooperated in some way."
Qingjian fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Ya'en asked, "Qingjian, do you have any records about the Ruins of Return?"
