Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2063 Fog Beast
There is a unique astronomical phenomenon in the sea of ​​fog. Whenever this phenomenon occurs, thick fog floods like a tide, covering the sky and the sun, and it lasts for years. The aliens call it the Fog Year.

The foggy year is the most dangerous time in the fog sea. During this period, not only does the frequency of fog waterfalls increase greatly, but fog beasts also appear in groups, posing a great threat to the creatures in the fog sea.

Therefore, when the Inhumans choose a place to live, the first consideration is to avoid places where fog waterfalls and fog beasts frequently occur.

There are also mortals among the Inhumans, and not everyone can practice cultivation. The basis on which they judge the level of talent is the amount of origin inherited from their ancestors. Only when the talent is high enough can one comprehend supernatural powers and have hope of pursuing the path of cultivation.

This step is called awakening. The vast majority of the Inhumans will never be able to achieve awakening in their lifetime. Although some can achieve awakening, it is too late. They have missed the best age and will not achieve great success in their practice.

Over the years, the Inhumans have summed up a set of effective methods to deal with the Year of Fog. The tribe has cultivated various crops that can be planted and harvested in the Year of Fog. Before the Year of Fog comes, mortals will stockpile enough for a year's expenses. During the entire Year of Fog, they will not leave their hometown too far. Except for some restrictions on life and travel, they can basically take it easy.

When the foggy year is over, the thick fog surrounding the habitat will dissipate, the sun will shine brightly on the world, and farming and living will be no different from those outside the sea of ​​fog.

Despite this, accidents are inevitable, such as fog waterfalls falling from the sky, fog beasts suddenly causing chaos, etc. At that time, it is like a disaster. It would be good if there are practitioners to protect them, otherwise it would be a natural disaster.

At such times, the Inhumans would organize practitioners to patrol everywhere, and most of the time they would be able to get warnings and take precautions in advance.

Compared to other places, the Fog Sea can be said to be full of disasters, but also because of this, most foreign races are unwilling to enter the Fog Sea. The Inhumans do not have to worry about foreign invasions and can enjoy peace.

Gu Ya has also lived in the Fog Sea, but her understanding of the Fog Sea is far less than Si Lu's. Everyone felt quite curious when listening to Si Lu's stories about the Fog Sea and the aliens.

Gu Ya sighed: "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have lost so many of my fellow practitioners."

Only then did she realize that there were many ways to provide early warning before the fog waterfall and fog beasts attacked. Although they were not completely accurate, they could greatly reduce the losses caused by the fog waterfall and fog beasts.

The monks of the Storm Realm also gradually summed up some rules, but that came at the cost of blood!
"Fellow Daoist Silu, will Wu Nian cause any hindrance to our next move?"

Qin Sang and others looked at Si Lu.

"Attendant Xia and I disappeared nearby. Those people haven't found us yet. Maybe they haven't given up yet and are looking for me everywhere. However, in the foggy year, they had to withdraw most of their personnel due to their patrol duties, which is actually a good thing for us. We might as well leave this sea area first and think about it later..."

Si Lu looked outside again, and saw the fog flowing in the sky like water, creating all kinds of fantastic scenes. Using her spiritual eyes, she saw the shadows of the mountains in the depths of the fog, and there were no signs of fog beasts or Siyou clan monks nearby, so she asked Qin Sang to summon the magic boat, carry everyone, and escape into the fog.

Worried that some powerful Siyou clan members were watching this place, everyone acted very cautiously, concealing the aura of the Dharma Boat and flying slowly and steadily following Si Lu's guidance.

The formation is located on an island.

In the sea of ​​fog, there is no continent as vast as that of the Great Zhou.

The royal family of the Siyou clan lives on the largest island. In fact, in the eyes of the cultivators in the Small Thousand Worlds, it is a vast and boundless land. The entire territory of the Siyou clan spreads outward from it. The outer islands are of different sizes and are divided among the kings.

The Yu clan, which is affiliated with the Siyou clan, will surround the Siyou clan, and the pattern is similar in other places.

But this does not mean that you can travel freely between these places. Firstly, not all places are safe habitats. Secondly, in many places, the fog will not dissipate even after the foggy year. Some places are extremely dangerous, and even the strong aliens have to stay away from them, forming a natural barrier.

It is possible that the territories of the two tribes are very close to each other, but they have never seen each other.

The major clans rely on the Great Teleportation Array to travel between each other. According to common sense, they can go to the Siyou clan's imperial city and transfer to the Zhuyan clan through the Great Teleportation Array. But Si Lu was worried that his enemies were always watching there, so he didn't dare to get close to the imperial city.

However, the Yu Clan under the Siyou Clan does not have a teleportation array to other places.

Therefore, if they wanted to go to the Zhuyan clan, they had to first escape from the territories of the Siyou clan and its Yu clan, then cross the border, reach the territories of other alien clans, and then go to the Zhuyan clan via other routes.

They didn't know how far the journey was, but the previous transfer had saved them a lot of time, so it was still acceptable.

The magic boat was speeding on the sea, and under Si Lu's guidance, it kept changing directions. No trace of the strong men from the Si You clan was detected, and everyone gradually relaxed.

"It seems that they have given up looking for fellow Taoist," said Su Nu.

"maybe."

Silu didn't comment.

At this moment, Qin Sang, who was driving the magic boat, suddenly frowned, and his eyes became a little deeper.

"An enemy is coming?"

Su Nu noticed the change in Qin Sang's expression and asked hurriedly.

Si Lu's expression suddenly became tense.

Qin Sang has the highest merit here, and he has the help of the Tianmu Butterfly, so Su Nu and Si Lu did not find anything unusual.

Qin Sang stared at the front and said in a deep voice: "There's something wrong with the energy in front, it seems like there's a breath..."

At this point, his tone paused.

He vaguely felt a breath in the distance that seemed to pose a threat to him, but when he concentrated and sensed it, he found it quite strange and not like a strong man from the Siyou clan.

After hearing Qin Sang's description, Si Lu immediately realized, "It could be a fog beast!"

"Mist beast?"

Qin Sang's face turned serious.

Si Lu nodded, "I have heard in the past that our clan has never expanded into this sea area because fog beasts are frequently born here and they cannot be eliminated. I didn't expect that there would be a powerful fog beast that could threaten Fellow Daoist Qin. The rumors are indeed true."

After a moment's silence, Qin Sang said, "Go and take a look!"

He also wanted to see what the fog beast looked like. Such a powerful fog beast was rare.

The Dharma Boat continued to fly forward, and gradually, Si Lu and Su Nu also sensed that breath. Gu Ya and others felt a sense of pressure coming, which made them nervous.

Suddenly, Qin Sang stopped the magic boat, and everyone used their spiritual eyes to look forward.

Unexpectedly, the fog ahead was very thin. It was not that the fog dissipated, but was swallowed up by the white fog in the center.

'Hoo hoo hoo...'

‘Crash! ’

The storm raged.

Everyone saw that amidst the huge waves, a cloud of extremely thick fog was floating on the sea. While moving quickly, it continuously absorbed the surrounding fog.

Inside the white fog, waves of fog were swirling, and some strange outlines could be vaguely seen, like monsters. Some were huge, while others looked like ordinary birds and beasts. Sometimes they floated to the surface, and sometimes they sank into the depths of the fog.

They were pure white like the mist, as if their bodies were made of white mist.

The largest one among them was a giant snake. When it raised its head occasionally, it looked like a big island, its arched back was like a mountain range, and its erect tail was like a towering divine peak.

Each time they only saw part of the giant snake's body, it was not difficult to guess that its body was at least ten thousand feet long.

Qin Sang sensed something and turned to look at Gu Ya.

Gu Ya said in a trembling voice: "We have never...never seen such a fog beast."

She was terrified in her heart. This giant snake fog beast was too terrifying. Its aura and pressure were comparable to those of a Void Refining cultivator.

In the past, the fog beasts encountered in the Storm Realm were at most as powerful as those in the Spirit Transformation Stage. They occurred only a few times, but each time they caused disastrous consequences.

It turns out that the biggest threat is not the Changyou tribe at all. If a fog beast comparable to a giant snake appears, it can easily flatten the Storm Realm!
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Such powerful fog beasts are extremely rare in the fog sea..."

Si Lu noticed the hesitation in everyone's eyes and hurriedly explained, "The birth of fog beasts is related to spiritual energy. The stronger the spiritual energy, the more likely it is that powerful fog beasts will be born. Places with thin spiritual energy are not so dangerous. Those places are mostly occupied by the Upper Clan, and they are responsible for clearing them. The Yu Clan generally does not encounter this kind of fog beast."

Qin Sang was thoughtful after hearing this. This means that the alien tribe should also consider their own strength when choosing their tribe. If they are not strong enough, occupying fertile land will only bring disaster to the tribe. On the contrary, those tribes that are declining from prosperity will take the initiative to give up their tribe land and move to other places without being driven away by others.

In this way, many conflicts within the Inhumans can be resolved invisibly.

"Will the Siyou tribe send someone to clean up this giant snake?" Qin Sang looked around but didn't see anyone else.

"Not necessarily. Maybe they haven't discovered it yet. Even if they do, they will wait and see for a while. Maybe the fog beast will disappear on its own soon."

Silu explained.

Although fog beasts are dangerous, they are easy to deal with because they will not exist for long. Their existence time is uncertain and has nothing to do with their strength. The Inhumans have not been able to figure out the rules so far.

The fog beast would not leave anything behind after its death. There was no benefit in killing it except for sharpening one's magical powers. As long as one was sure that the fog beast would not invade the tribe, one could simply stay away from it and wait for it to disperse.

"This is a rare opportunity. Will it be a hindrance for me to try out the magical powers of the fog beast?" Qin Sang asked.

Si Lu hesitated for a moment, "The fog beasts gather and disperse invisibly, so be careful not to leave any traces, and it should be fine."

Qin Sang nodded, "Please ask the two Taoist friends to help me with the battle!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt their hearts tighten, as if they were being stared at by some terrifying being.

I saw a huge snake head rising from the fog, its eyes were two empty eye sockets, but everyone could feel the ferocity from it, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.

Suddenly, a sword light slashed out, removing the pressure on everyone at the same time. Gu Ya and others hurriedly calmed their minds.

Qin Sang flew up with his sword and rushed towards the giant snake.

Su Nu and Si Lu fled to both sides at the same time, guarding against the outside, and casting spells to cover up the fluctuations of the fight.

The closer we got to the giant snake, the clearer our senses became. The aura of this fog beast was comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm!

There are other fog beasts in the fog, but their strength is at most equivalent to that of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

The giant snake stared at Qin Sang, its ferocious look becoming more and more intense. It let out a roar, and its huge body broke away from the fog, instantly covering half of the sky. Its slightest movement created wind and clouds.

The fog beasts in the fog received the order and rushed out of the fog, rushing towards Qin Sang in groups.

Qin Sang waved his sleeves, and the beasts melted away like ice and snow. Glancing at the group of fog beasts that were destroyed, he raised his hand and a few wisps of white air flew into his palm.

The mist beast reminded Qin Sang of the cloud beast in the ancient battlefield of Xiaohan Domain. However, the cloud beast would leave a corpse after death, while the only thing left after the mist beast died was this wisp of white gas. After a while, the white gas also quietly dissipated, and the trace of the mist beast in the world completely disappeared.

The giant snake finally couldn't hold back any longer. It opened its mouth wide and a stream of mist spurted out, shooting towards them in a mighty force.

Qin Sang's eyes turned cold, and the Gray Oriole Sword flashed and appeared above the giant snake. The next moment, the giant snake fell into the sword formation.

The sword formation made less noise, and within the sword formation, everything was controlled by Qin Sang.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, the giant snake may have felt insignificant for the first time since its birth. It showed an anxious expression, roared continuously, and swung its tail to crash into the nearest sword star.

'boom! ’

'boom! ’

The impact caused the sea of ​​stars to shake continuously.

Qin Sang watched coldly, constantly urging the starlight to slash at the giant snake, but after a while, he found that the giant snake only used the same few moves over and over again, and had no idea how to break the formation.

Qin Sang's mind moved slightly, and he deliberately revealed a flaw, which was immediately noticed by the giant snake, which immediately turned its head and rushed over.

Qin Sang made up for the flaw and changed the formation, and the giant snake returned to its old ways.

"Its spiritual perception is very sharp, but its intelligence is limited. It acts on instinct. But if I am not strong enough and it hits me like this, I will be unable to deal with it and will be exposed sooner or later."

Qin Sang observed the giant snake and finally concluded, "Although this beast is powerful, ordinary cultivators in the early stages of the Void Refining Stage can handle it."

Thinking of this, Qin Sang no longer held back, and set up the double formation superposition technique, with sword lights one after another, slashing towards the giant snake.

The giant snake was finally defeated and its body was cut into several pieces, but with a burst of movement in the mist, it returned to its original state, only its breath became a little weaker and its body became smaller.

This is the difficulty of the fog beast. It has no vital points and is difficult to kill.

Qin Sang continued to disinfect with the sword light, and the giant snake's body shrank again and again, and finally disappeared. Like other fog beasts, the giant snake left only a wisp of white gas after its death, which dissipated into nothingness.

When everyone saw Qin Sang kill the fog beast, they gathered around, wiped out the remaining energy, and flew away on their magic boat.

Not long after they left, two streams of light flew over. They were two monks from the Siyou clan.

After walking around the area, one of them asked curiously, "Could it be that the master made a wrong judgment? There is no fog beast here?"

"Master deduced from the astronomical phenomena that a sky-realm fog beast might be born in this area. He just asked us to come and take a look. He didn't say that there would definitely be one."

The other man looked around and said with a happy expression, "It's better that there are no Sky Realm Mist Beasts. Otherwise, we would have to keep watching nearby. Now we can go back and report."

His companion stopped him, "Don't worry! Look for it again..."

The two men flew into the sky and searched the area for a while, but found nothing, so they fled back the same way they came.
