Chapter 234: Chaotic Fog Is Approaching

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan carried Yu Qian as fast as lightning, but his expression became more and more solemn.

What was that terrifying eight-armed creature?

From its size and form, it was clearly somewhat similar to the eight-armed, four-eyed stone statue he had seen in the underground stone room previously!

However, this eight-armed creature had eight eyes, and they did not look like human eyes. Its size was even terrifyingly large, and it exuded the pressure of a top predator.

The underground stone room where the eight-armed four-eyed golden statue was found was clearly a relic of the Ancient Fan Nation. Was this eight-armed monster related to the Ancient Fan Nation?

There was also the strange state that Jiao Liang and Tao Chen displayed, as well as Yu Qian’s strange behavior that seemed to be confused and distorted. Why?

Lin Yan vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched some deep mysteries of this world, but he couldn’t see it clearly for a moment and couldn’t judge it.

After retreating for a long distance, Lin Yan put Yu Qian down and patted her cheek. “Yu Qian, wake up!”

Yu Qian’s eyelids trembled slightly as she slowly opened them. “Ah, Senior Brother Lin!”

She quickly stood up.

“Yu Qian, do you remember what happened just now?”

Yu Qian looked confused. “Just now? I… I think I went to the forest with Tao Chen and Jiao Liang…

“By the way, Tao Chen and Jiao Liang said that they discovered a precious Unusual Item, but there are evil beast guards and they need my help to obtain it.

“I remember… I think I saw that Unusual Item just now!”

A clear look appeared in Yu Qian’s eyes. Then, she looked at Lin Yan hesitantly. “Senior Brother Lin, did… did you take that Unusual Item?”

Lin Yan’s heart sank slightly. Yu Qian’s memory was actually like this?

“Yu Qian, do you really not remember what happened just now?”

Yu Qian was even more confused. “Well… 1 do…”

Lin Yan looked at her deeply. “Forget it, go back to the camp.”

Yu Qian was confused, but since Lin Yan said so, she could only leave.

She had just walked a distance away.

“Wait!”

Yu Qian turned around. “Senior Brother Lin…”

Lin Yan stared at Yu Qian. “Do you still remember what the Unusual Item you saw looked like?”

Yu Qian opened her mouth and suddenly paused for a moment. Then, she said embarrassedly, “This… In a moment of desperation, I only saw a halo and a very strong attraction. I didn’t see the exact appearance.”

I see… It’s fine. You can go back.”

Lin Yan watched Yu Qian disappear into the forest before turning around and continuing to speed in another direction.

Yu Qian had already fallen for it. Her thoughts were easily distorted, and she seemed to ignore even the most basic logic abnormality.

He had already placed a few clones on Yu Qian to monitor her movements. As for now, he had another matter to confirm!

“Although I didn’t pay attention to the distance just now, I’ve been in the direction the three of them walked in before.

“That place… originally didn’t have Chaotic Fog!

“Did I remember wrongly, or is the Chaotic Fog… approaching?”

This time, Lin Yan was heading in the direction of Ding’an City. He wanted to pass by Ding’an City and take a look at the other side.

However, he had only walked a few miles when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and tensed up.

“This place… How can there be Chaotic Fog here too!”

In the forest in front of him, wisps of silver-gray fog passed through like butterflies. Further away, there was a thick fog that was like a silver tide.

This path was the only way between the camp and Ding’an City. He had yet to reach the other direction of Ding’an City.

Why did the fog suddenly appear?!

Moreover, this fog was slowly creeping towards the camp at a moderate speed.

Lin Yan’s bad premonition intensified. He quickly turned in another direction and walked for a distance before stopping again.

“There’s fog here too!”

In another direction.

It’s here too!”

“It’s here too!”

It’s everywhere!”

Lin Yan’s expression turned uglier. The camp was actually surrounded by the Chaotic Fog!

After a simple calculation, the center of the Chaotic Fog was definitely near the camp!

What made Lin Yan’s heart tighten was that the Chaotic Fog was silently approaching the camp!

The encirclement became smaller and smaller!

Lin Yan stared at the speed of the fog and quickly calculated in his heart. He quickly determined that in at most two to three days, the fog would surround the center of the camp!

“Is only the area near the camp surrounded by fog, or is the entire area in Ding’an City surrounded by fog?

“Senior Sister Chen, and Elder Xu…

However, at the moment, he did not dare to step into the Chaotic Fog at all. Naturally, he was helpless against the two of them.

There was another even more serious problem…

“This fog clearly didn’t just appear today.

“There are many genius seeds in the camp. Furthermore, they frequently come and go between Ding’an City and the camp. It’s impossible for them not to discover the fog surrounding them.

“However, in the past few days, no one has reported anything related to the fog.

“It’s fine if it’s just one or two people, but no one reported it…”

Lin Yan was shocked. He thought of the situation of Yu Qian and Jiao Liang. Could all the genius seeds in the entire camp have become like them?

He had no choice. The Chaotic Fog was pressing on him step by step, but he did not dare to enter. He could only return to the camp with a dark expression.

Just as he stepped into the camp, Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

It was as if time had stopped. The noisy and busy camp a second ago suddenly stopped.

The sounds were all gone, and the camp became silent. One could hear a pin drop.

All the busy geniuses, regardless of whether they were standing or sitting, stopped what they were doing. Their eyes widened like copper bells as they stared at Lin Yan.

It was the same as Jiao Liang and Lin Yan’s gazes at that time. It was as if they wanted to dig out their eyes and jump onto Lin Yan.

Lin Yan’s back instantly turned cold.

Behind these countless pairs of eyes, it was as if there was an unknown, terrifying, and mysterious creature observing and learning from him through human eyes.

Lin Yan’s pupils constricted as he forced himself to calm down and endured the urge to turn around and leave.

The next moment, the voices appeared again. Everyone’s movements and words were resumed. They chatted and practiced martial arts. It was as if the momentary pause just now was just an illusion.

“Lord Lin is back!”

“Greetings, Lord Lin.”

“Greetings, Lord Lin.”

Lin Yan walked in silently. Everyone along the way greeted him as if nothing had happened.

Originally, Lin Yan would nod at them, but this time, he ignored them and walked straight to Bai Ling’s tent in the middle.

“Venerable Issuer Bai.”

In the tent, Bai Ling was carefully placing the collected White Jade Fire Lotuses one by one in a two-story wooden box.

“Lin Yan, why aren’t you down yet?”

“Venerable Issuer Bai, something happened!”

As he spoke, Lin Yan hurriedly recounted how the camp was surrounded by the Chaotic Fog.

“Chaotic Fog? It can’t be!” Bai Ling’s expression suddenly changed. “There are only so few of us, and we’re all Tough Realm juniors. How can we trigger an unforeseen change in the Chaotic Fog?!”

Lin Yan frowned. “What does the Chaotic Fog have to do with numbers and realm?”

“This explanation is a little troublesome. Let’s talk about it later. Instead, Lin Yan, you should go to the underground plains first and help Issuer Liu and the others bring back the Unusual Items.”

Lin Yan frowned. “Venerable Issuer Bai, the camp is currently enveloped by the

Chaotic Fog. It will be swallowed by the fog in at most two to three days. The most important thing now is to quickly find a solution!”

Bai Ling looked like he was remembering. It was as if it took him a long time to remember what Lin Yan had just told him.

Then, he put down the White Jade Fire Lotus in his hand and said anxiously, “If something happens to the Chaotic Fog, we’ll be in big trouble!”

Lin Yan saw his abnormally strange expression and had a bad feeling.

Bai Ling stood up and continued, “I’ll personally go around later to see if what you said is true.

“Compared to this, it’s more important for you to go to the underground plain and inform Issuer Liu and the others!

“Even if the Chaotic Fog really invades, we have to let them return and supervise the situation!”

It was as if he wanted Lin Yan to go down the waterways…

Lin Yan suddenly asked, “Venerable Issuer Bai, did the entire tent suddenly quiet down just now?”

Bai Ling frowned. “Quiet down? Really? Although I’m focused on what I’m doing, I can still sense if it suddenly quiets down. What happened just now?”

“Nothing, maybe I heard wrongly…”

Lin Yan took a deep look at Bai Ling and asked again, “Venerable Issuer Bai, if this Chaotic Fog really surrounds us, do we have a way to stop it or disperse it?”

Bai Ling shook his head. “The Chaotic Fog is a natural rule in this world.

Humans can’t affect it at all.”

“I understand… I’ll take my leave.”

Lin Yan left the tent, his heart even heavier.

If no matter what he did or did, he couldn’t make the Chaotic Fog stop at all, then it was meaningless to continue talking to Bai Ling.

Moreover, he felt that Bai Ling was just like the others in the camp, abnormal!

He didn’t stay in the camp for long. Instead, he left the camp and observed the commotion in Bai Ling’s tent from afar.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in Bai Ling’s tent.

As expected, Bai Ling had no intention of going out to observe the fog.

“He… is just like those genius seeds outside. He’s abnormal!”

This discovery almost froze Lin Yan’s breathing.

Bai Ling came from the prefecture capital. He was the Venerable Issuer of the Demon Suppression Division’s White Tiger Hall!

His strength and status were equivalent to Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue!

However, such a person was actually distorted by that strange power and lost his rationality?

What about Liu Lanqing?

And Ling Shuangxue?

Where exactly did that power invade and distort them?

It had only been less than an hour since he and Bai Ling came from the underground plain!

If Bai Ling had been affected and controlled by that strange power during this period of time, how could he be fine?

Or could it be that Bai Ling had been affected a long time ago?

The more Lin Yan thought, the more his heart sank. The people he was originally familiar with suddenly became like this…

An intangible and unknown fear assaulted his heart, making him feel as if there were blades on his back.

“The Chaotic Fog is about to surround us…

“The fog is unknown, strange, and terrifying!

“Now, no one can be trusted. Since the fog can’t be broken through, I can only find another way…”

What Lin Yan thought of was the remains of the Poison-Toothed Trout he had seen in the Dragon Absorbing Water scene under the underground cave!

“The lake in the underground plain is connected to the underground cave!

“The underground cave is connected to the City Lord Manor in Ding’an City.

“If I can pass through the underground lake and reach the cave, I can directly reach the City Lord Manor in Ding’an City!

“Furthermore, the underground lake is so huge. There’s definitely more than one cave passageway.

“Even if Ding’an City is covered by the Chaotic Fog, we might be able to find a path to other places and avoid the range of the Chaotic Fog!

“At the very least, the underground passageway can’t be occupied by the Chaotic Fog, right?

If I hide inside, I can avoid it for the time being…”

Thinking of this, Lin Yan no longer hesitated. He turned around and ran towards the underground waterway..
