1155 Miracle escape 4

llages for them.After several years, wealthy individuals started appearing. Some people wanted to return to their old villages and collect antiques to sell, but no one who went back ever came out aga...The sound of a snake's hiss is always unnerving, but now, with that strange feeling in my mind and my thoughts wandering, when I suddenly heard Bai Ni let out a warning "hiss—", it sent shivers down my spine.

I didn't realize until I came to my senses that the surrounding scenery was off.

This is a campsite. At the time, I looked at the wind direction and marked the location of the simple shelters to block the wind, providing shelter for the large expanse of tents behind them.

The resettlement house faced the wind, and in front of it was a circle of wooden fences and watchtowers with guards on duty.

The fire pit crackled merrily, but the atmosphere was off.

The place where the flame could reach grew smaller.

Has the darkness outside grown thicker The clouds on the horizon seem like huge meteorites hanging in the sky, heavy and carrying thunderclouds. The original indigo night sky is almost being swallowed by the dark clouds.

"Hiss..." Bai Ni suddenly twisted her head, arching her back towards the darkness behind her.

We can't fight here. Bai Ni's destructive power is terrifying, if we fight here our shelters and camp would be completely destroyed.

"Bai Ni, let's go see, don't stay here." I reached out and touched its scales, saying softly.

Bai Ni immediately headed past the temporary housing, towards the gate of the makeshift camp.

I immediately reached out and grabbed a torch from the fire pit. I set off with two guards trailing behind me.

The Guiling belongs to the "spiritual transformation" of the Wu clan, especially Bai Ni at this age. Her size can change freely. As she was wandering, she suddenly appeared, scaring the two guards behind me with a shout.

“I turned back to look at the two of them.”

"Little one, little one didn't expect that there would be a Gu spirit protecting the young princess..."

"Do you not have any Gu cultivation" I asked.

"No, people of the Wuzhu clan almost all practice Gu refinement, but we are not from the Wuzhu clan..." he explained in a low voice.

I nodded. "If you're afraid, step back a bit. You don't know what's ahead, so don't jump to conclusions."

They nodded, swallowed hard, and held their torches out to me.

The gate of the village was normal, but the people on top of the towers were gone.

"Go have a look." I said to a guard.

He immediately scrambled up and exclaimed, "Your Highness, they seem to have fainted..."

"Let's take a look first!"

Fainting How could you possibly be so calm at a time like this This darkness came so abruptly, the lights along the river bank are almost swallowed whole. With these strange occurrences and anomalies, how could it simply be fainting

The guard on top of the tower was brought down, and I laid him flat on the ground. He really did look like he was asleep.

No visible injuries, eyes closed.

But her pupils were dilated, and her eyes were rolled back.

“…He’s dead.” I said, frowning and lowering my voice.

The guard drew a sharp, startled breath.

“Something must be at play. Immediately have all those with Gu spirits release them for vigilance! Concentrate the elderly, women, and children under protection. The able-bodied men and women in camp should stop venturing outside, bring your weapons here and obey my command!”

I blurted out, and the two guards hurried off to relay the message.

A white, rotating disk hovered beside me, tall as a village gate. It stared into the fathomless darkness and emitted a low, guttural "warning" sound.

Soon hundreds of people gathered behind me. They also discovered a problem - outside the village gate, why was it so intensely dark

"...Fire the arrows," I whispered.

A volley of rockets was immediately launched, and I raised my hand to fire. Dozens of rockets soared towards the outside of the village gate.

Don't worry about it catching fire, most of this area is dead and burnt-out trees. There's hardly anything flammable left in this forest that was once ravaged by wildfire.

A rocket, trailing light, shot into the darkness and was immediately swallowed up, its faint fire extinguished quickly.

In that instant of extinguishment, I seemed to see something on the ground "moving".

"Bai Ni, come with me." I touched Bai Ni's scales.

Bai Ni had already transformed into a dragon, she wasn't afraid of these omens at all. She immediately swam out of the village gate, and I followed behind her, holding a torch and crouching down to check the ground.

There was some steaming black mist on the ground, just like the black mist I had seen in the river.

These black mists seem like little dancers, writhing and clawing, densely packed.

Have I met you before

I'd only seen this before! When we were looking for Xi Lingzhou, a shadowy figure appeared in the darkness. It split open its abdomen and swallowed itself.

These mists, like goblins and ghouls, danced like flickering black flames, or seemed to be individuals waving their arms about.

"Go quickly and report to Mu Wanchen." I tapped Ling Zheng on the shoulder.

Ling Zheng transformed into a wisp of mist and flew towards the riverbank.

Black clouds pressed down on the horizon, and a thick fog shrouded the surroundings.

I have a foreboding in my heart—when there are strange signs in the heavens, it portends an unusual event.

The camp was shrouded in a thick black fog.

The black clouds hanging in the sky looked like a mountain about to fall, and lightning flashed intermittently between them, revealing their fangs.

It seemed even the wind had stopped, all I could hear was the sound of stifled swallowing in my ears. The people behind me were more tense than I was.

I have a telescope here, which I got from Lin Yanhuan, Young Master Lin.

It's not really useful on a daily basis, I mostly just use it to pass the time. But this is a good thing—if Young Master Lin uses it, it has to be good. This is a military telescope, not some cheap knock-off from a street vendor.

Under the black clouds on the horizon, a red dot appeared, flashing occasionally. I picked up the telescope and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see clearly; it was too far away.

What can we do The black mist is intangible, unable to be grasped or touched. Yet, it clings to people like a leech, following them wherever they go. It dissipates with any movement but can also envelop individuals like a demon.

Bai Ni's tail swept over, smashing heavily on the ground. Dust and splinters of wood flew everywhere, scattering the black mist slightly before it quickly enveloped them again.

"Killing intent." Mu Wanchen suddenly appeared behind me, grabbed my arm, and "tossed" me backward.

A bunch of guards scrambled behind me, catching my descent with their shields.

“The array that devours life force has spread, but this forest is almost entirely charred black, so you can't see it. It has even reached the river… Wherever there are corpses, be they human, animal, or plant, the living beings are devoured and their rage before death is absorbed. The old monster uses this as a tool for his devouring method.”

Mu Wanchen's tone was unprecedentedly cold.

"...Wanchen, Wanchen, what's that red dot Can you see it clearly" My heart was pounding like crazy—

I seem to have guessed what that red dot on the horizon is!ck her things, preparing to leave tonight."I think... we could have this widow stay with us temporarily." Father suddenly spoke up."Are you crazy! This woman is moving into our house Did you fall for...
