Chapter 1158 Gray Mist
Chapter 1158 Gray Mist
At this critical moment, Lu Chen noticed that five powerful figures, including Che Changfeng, the elder of Xuanyang Sect, Zhang Yidan, the elder of Hanbing Valley, seemed to have sensed the dangerous aura around them.
Che Changfeng's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he instantly locked onto the space crack closest to him. His figure flashed, and he rushed away like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the dark crack.
At the same time, Zhang Yidan's face was as gloomy as water. She waved her sleeves lightly, and a cold air suddenly spread out, wrapping her whole body.
The next moment, her figure, like an ice elf, lightly merged into the dark crack, as if she had become one with the endless darkness.
Yan Sanli's face was full of anger. He let out a roar and all the aura in his body suddenly exploded. Raging flames gushed out from his body, enveloping him in a sea of fire.
Then, he rushed into the space crack without fear and disappeared into the darkness along with the raging flames.
Lin Cangsheng held a bamboo stick in his hand, and a layer of green light appeared under his feet, as if his feet had some kind of mysterious connection with this space.
He jumped up lightly, like a dancing crane, and landed gracefully into the space crack.
Finally, purple lightning surrounded Lei Jiu, and his body appeared a little blurry under the reflection of the lightning.
Under the gaze of Lu Chen and others, he suddenly flashed, and instantly passed through the space barrier like a ghost, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Yuan Shizong saw this scene, he quickly exchanged glances with the old man beside him. There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and they immediately understood each other's intentions without any verbal communication.
Then, Yuan Shizong took a step forward without hesitation, closely following the figure in front of him. His steps were light and vigorous, as if he had no fear of this unfamiliar environment.
At the same time, the old man followed without hesitation. His movements were just as fast and agile, and he and Yuan Shizong followed like a shadow, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this sudden change, Lu Chen and others knew very well that they must not sit idly by and wait for death.
After a brief silence, they looked at each other, their eyes conveying each other's determination and trust.
Without further ado, they nodded at the same time, then chose a space crack without hesitation and flashed into it together.
And all this happened in just a few breaths.
When Lu Chen, Li Yue, Yun Xi and Yan Feiyu passed through the space crack, a completely different scene suddenly appeared before their eyes.
This is a dim world, shrouded in a layer of gray fog. Visibility is extremely low, and even with their sharp eyes, it is difficult to see things a few meters away.
There is a flat land under my feet, but there is no sense of life, only deathly silence.
In this silent world, even the sounds of each other's breathing became unusually clear and audible, as if there were only four of them left in the entire world.
Lu Chen tried to use his spiritual sense to check out the situation around him, but found that as soon as his spiritual sense was extended out, it was swallowed up by the gray mist. Frightened, he quickly retracted his spiritual sense.
"Could this be the land of the Nine Netherworlds?"
Li Yue frowned and said, it was obvious that she was also aware of the problem of her spiritual consciousness being devoured.
"It shouldn't be. This should be the maze that Feng Jingtian mentioned. Otherwise, why can't we see Yuan Shizong, Che Changfeng and the others?
What we need to do now is to find a way to get through this gray fog.”
Lu Chen said with a serious expression.
"This is easy. Just dispel the fog." Yunxi said confidently, as if she was full of confidence in her abilities.
Before she finished her words, she quickly formed a magic seal with her hands, and her movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.
In an instant, strong winds suddenly blew up all around, the whistling sound was deafening, and the powerful force seemed to be able to tear apart anything that blocked it.
However, just when the strong wind had just blown away the gray fog in front of them, something unexpected happened - the fog seemed to have life and quickly gathered together again, as if they had never been disturbed.
Yunxi's heart tightened when she saw this, but she did not give up easily.
She gritted her teeth and increased the output of her spiritual power again, trying to use more powerful force to dispel the stubborn fog.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the mist that had just been blown away always returned to its original state in an instant, as if it were an invincible existence.
After many attempts, Yunxi finally realized that she might have encountered an extremely difficult problem.
Although she was unwilling to give up, facing such a strange situation, she had no choice but to give up trying.
Yan Feiyu, who was standing by, saw this and his eyes were full of vigilance. He then reminded in a deep voice:
"These mists are very strange and have powerful restrictions. Everyone, please be careful."
Lu Chen and others realized that behind this seemingly ordinary gray world, there seemed to be some powerful force hidden.
They decided to temporarily give up the idea of using magic to break through the fog and instead chose to move forward on foot.
Due to the influence of fog and unknown dangers, several people did not choose to fly in the air, but moved forward carefully along the ground.
Every step was taken with caution, for fear of encountering some unknown danger.
After wandering around for most of the day, the group discovered based on footprints that they had returned to the starting point.
Although they had set out in several different directions, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force each time and eventually returned to the starting point.
This phenomenon makes everyone feel extremely confused and uneasy.
"It seems that things are not as simple as they seem." Li Yue said with a frown.
When Lu Chen saw the situation in front of him, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he thought of a method that might solve the current dilemma.
So, he did not hesitate to use the Chaos Infinite Tracking Technique, which is an extremely advanced skill that can find the target by tracking subtle auras.
As the technique was running, Lu Chen's mind was highly concentrated, and his perception became extremely sharp. After a moment, the tip of his nose moved slightly, as if he smelled something.
Sure enough, in the gray mist, a faint scent line appeared. Although this line was very faint, it was enough for Lu Chen.
"Found it!" Lu Chen was overjoyed, and he quickly shouted, "Everyone follow me, keep a certain distance, and don't get separated."
Hearing Lu Chen's shout, everyone else gathered around. Yunxi saw the confident look on Lu Chen's face and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Lu, did you find anything?"
Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said: "I can't tell you now, just follow me."
After that, Lu Chen took the lead and walked slowly along the scent line. Although the others were a little confused, they still chose to believe Lu Chen and followed him closely.
However, as they continued to move forward, the cold air around them became stronger and stronger, and the depressing negative emotions became more and more obvious. Everyone's heart was shrouded in a haze.
About a cup of tea later, Lu Chen and others finally arrived in front of a cave.
The entrance to the cave exuded a cold atmosphere, and the interior was pitch black with no end in sight.
Lu Chen stopped and carefully observed the surrounding situation. He found that there were seven different smell lines in the air along the cave.
