It's broken! I was targeted by the villain after the apocalypse

The next morning, everyone packed up their supplies and arrived at the foot of Hulu Mountain.

"The fog here is so thick," Zhang Yaoyao frowned slightly, "The fog here has never been this thick before."

Liu Jinan had already told them last night about all the possible situations they might encounter in the Hulu Mountain Secret Realm. The novel gave a relatively detailed description of Hulu Mountain, and this was also what had motivated him to choose the space gourd as his primary target.

"There may be mutant plants and animals on Hulu Mountain. This mist should be caused by some mutant plants."

The mutated plant he was talking about was formed by the mutation of the Parashorea chinensis, and its name was the Sky-Covering Tree.

The Shrouding Sky Tree has the height of the Parashorea chinensis and the ability to create thick fog. Its branches and leaves can gain a speed bonus in the fog, allowing it to better hunt enemies.

Liu Jinan tried to release the small ball of light.

The tiny light was like a drop in the bucket in the thick fog and provided no vision at all.

In order to prevent them from getting lost, he could only tie a climbing rope around each person and tie them all together.

The crowd climbed up the stairs. The higher they went, the thicker the fog became, to the point where they could hardly see their hands in front of them.

"We can't go any higher," Xu Zhaoxin calculated several times. "The fog is too dense. We can't see the road clearly."

Liu Jinan readily arranged for everyone to take a break. He looked at the fog and thought about how to break the deadlock.

"If I remember correctly, water is an important component of fog?" He remembered that in the physics class, the teacher explained the causes of fog.

Zhao Simo nodded: "Yes, there are many causes of fog, but without exception, water vapor is involved."

Liu Jinan looked at Zhang Yaoyao: "Sister Zhang, since fog is formed by water vapor, maybe your water ability can also dispel the fog?"

"let me try."

Zhang Yaoyao stretched out her palm, and the surrounding mist seemed to be guided and gathered towards her palm.

Above her palm, the absorbed thick fog formed a small cyclone, and soon water droplets formed.

Hu Jianye exclaimed: "It has condensed into water, Sister Zhang is awesome!"

Zhang Yaoyao's cheeks turned red due to the compliment, and she absorbed the mist even more vigorously.

A pool of clear water gathered in the palm of her hand, and the water that could not be contained flowed down through her fingers and palm lines, and sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

"Stop first." Liu Jinan reminded, "Your power is almost used up."

Hearing this, Zhang Yaoyao reluctantly lowered her hands and poured out all the water in her hands.

She liked the feeling of controlling power, as if all water elements submitted to her and she was the queen in the kingdom of water.

"The fog has dissipated a lot, and the vision has become clearer," Zhang Wenqian said while holding the little pig. Before she could be happy, "No, the fog has become thicker again!"

I saw the fog, which had just become slightly thinner, sweeping in again with a constant replenishment.

Huang Dabei cursed irritably: "It's really a dog-skin plaster, I can't get rid of it!"

Zhang Yaoyao couldn't help but look at Liu Jinan: "An'an, what should we do?"

"There's too much fog. Even if Sister Zhang absorbs some of it, there will still be new fog." Liu Jinan frowned, "It's just like using an air conditioner. As long as the air conditioner is still working, the room will always be cooler than the outside."

Zhao Simo nodded: "Xiao Tiantian is right. Absorbing the mist can only treat the symptoms and expand our vision. But if we want to clear the mist, we have to find the source."

Xu Zhaoxin made a discovery: "I just observed the flow of fog and found that it is replenished from high places to low places."

"It stands to reason that water vapor weighs less than air and should be replenished from low places to high places, so I suspect that the fog concentration at high places is greater than that at low places, which leads to this phenomenon."

Hu Jianye was confused: "Brother Xu, I can understand each word you say separately, why can't I understand you when you put them together?"

Wang Mazi and others looked at each other.

I suffered the loss of being uneducated.

Zhao Simo sighed: "Young people should read more. What your brother Xu meant is that the mutant plant that can produce fog is not far from us."

Liu Jinan said thoughtfully: "If Sister Zhang maintains a small amount of supernatural power output and maintains the cyclone state just now."

"Then can I find the correct route by tracking where the fog is replenished?"

His tracking ability can only mark one person at a time, and it was originally marked on Li Dexin.

Now that he knew the location of the dark alley and the military was monitoring it, there was no need to waste his efforts tracking Li Dexin.

The current situation is perfect for breaking through with tracking.

"It's feasible." Xu Zhaoxin agreed, "The probability of finding the source using this method is more than 80%. We can give it a try."

So, Zhang Yaoyao took a short rest and absorbed the water mist in the air again.

This time she controlled herself very carefully, releasing her supernatural power bit by bit like a miser.

The cyclone was not as noticeable as before, but the consumption was also reduced a lot. Zhang Yaoyao felt it and said, "If this continues, my ability can last for at least an hour."

"Okay!" Hope lit up Liu Jinan's eyes.

He activated the tracking method, targeting a tiny speck of dust that was visible to the naked eye.

A speck of dust is indeed insignificant. It is as light as a feather and floats involuntarily following the air flow around it.

But it is such a tiny speck of dust that has pointed the way for everyone.

Halfway through the journey, Zhang Yaoyao said in surprise: "An An, my supernatural power seems to have increased, and it seems to have reached level two!"

Liu Jinan was also a little surprised. This was Zhang Yaoyao's first time entering the Lingbao Secret Realm, and her upgrade speed was too fast: "Sister Zhang, congratulations, you are amazing!"

It’s not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully.

Hulu Mountain is already blessed with beautiful scenery, the element of chrysanthemum in the air is even more abundant, and it is also blessed by the Lingbao Secret Realm.

Zhang Yaoyao has been absorbing the mist, and there should be a lot of chrysanthemum elements condensed in the mist.

With the help of multiple amplifications, Zhang Yaoyao's supernatural power broke through to the second level.

This is also Zhang Yaoyao's own fate.

"Absorbing mist can enhance your abilities?" Wang Mazi was envious. "Then can I also upgrade if I take a deep breath?"

Xu Zhaoxin kindly calculated for him: "If you want to use your mouth to inhale to level 2, there is a 70% chance of developing bronchitis and a 20% chance of developing pneumonia. I advise you to be cautious."

Wang Mazi's mouth, which had just opened wide, closed again silently.

He lamented, "I also want to level up quickly!"

As they were joking around, they were getting closer and closer to the source, and the fog was visibly thicker.

Even though Zhang Yaoyao's water ability had been upgraded to level two, she still found it quite strenuous to absorb such a high concentration of mist.

"Why don't we take a rest first?" Zhang Wen Qian suggested. She supported the panting Hu Deyi, and she had to put the little pig on the ground and let it follow them.

Hu Deyi wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Really, I really can't climb anymore."

Seeing that two ordinary people, Uncle Hu and Zhao Tiezhu, were exhausted, Liu Jinan took out two bottles of water from his bag and handed them to them: "Take a break and eat something to replenish your energy."

Hu Jianye sat down, took out a bag of potato chips from his backpack and started eating.

"Crack, click, click!"

The crisp sound caused everyone to look at him frequently.

In order to pack more supplies, they tacitly chose not to bring puffed foods, but they didn't expect that this kid also secretly brought potato chips!

What’s more, it tastes like Korean kimchi!

Who can bear this?
