In the past, Li Ai never cared much about the life and death of others. She was like a weathered rock, cold and hard. But now, her heart was moved by Lu Xuanxin, a kind-hearted child. Xuanxin was not only her friend, but also the soft concern in her heart. If she saw Xuanxin and the others in trouble, Li Ai would definitely feel like being stabbed by a needle.
"Mammy, how about we get together?" Tianying and the other five people were crowded in the branches of a big tree, like a group of lively birds. They turned around and called Li who was not far away, wanting her to come over to warm up and share this rare warmth.
"Yes, Ma'am, it's more lively when there are more people around, and we can keep each other warm. This cold weather can't stop us." Gui Jianxiao also echoed. There was a hint of playfulness in her voice, as if she really believed that there is strength in numbers and that they can resist the biting cold together.
Li Ai hesitated for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. If Tianying had called her alone, she might have agreed immediately and gone over without hesitation. But looking at so many people, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if her world was invaded. However, she still said lightly: "Hurry up and take a rest, just for a while." Then, she still sat next to the crowd and closed her eyes, as if to hide her inner fluctuations.
The five people looked at each other, exchanging silent messages in their eyes. Shen Longyuan was a careful person. He saw that everyone was tired, so he took the initiative to say, "You guys take a rest first, I'll keep watch."
"No need!" Li said softly. Although her voice was weak, it was firm and unquestionable. She knew everything around her was under her control. Why did she need someone to keep watch? Her spiritual awareness was like an invisible net, covering the area. She could sense any disturbance.
Shen Longyuan did not insist. He sat cross-legged next to Tianying and closed his eyes. He trusted Li Ai and believed in her ability. In this dark forest night, they all needed to rest in order to face unknown challenges.
The night in the dark forest was so quiet that it made people feel creepy. There was not even the sound of wild animals or insects, as if the whole world was swallowed up by the silence. Only the breeze blew gently, bringing with it wisps of black mist, as if the day and night were hidden by the mist. The black mist gave people a heavy sense of pressure, as if it contained unknown dangers.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a piercing scream broke the silence of the night. Everyone jumped up in fright, like frightened birds, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
"Jianxiao, what's wrong with you?" Gui Jianchou held the Night Pearl and gently asked the sweaty Gui Jianxiao beside him. His voice was full of concern and worry, as if he wanted to use his warmth to dispel the fear in her heart.
"I... I dreamed that something terrible was attacking us. It was so terrible..." There was still fear in Gui Jianxiao's eyes, and her voice was trembling, as if she was still recalling that terrible dream. She shivered as she looked at the night, as if the unknown fear was lurking in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to devour them.
"It's just a dream, don't be afraid!" Gui Jianchou comforted her, his voice was gentle and firm, as if he wanted to use his own strength to give her courage and comfort. He thought that maybe the environment was too depressing, making her nerves tense and sensitive.
However, at this moment, a cry of surprise from the person in red was heard not far away: "Ah! What's coming?" Her voice was full of panic and anxiety, as if something was really approaching them.
"Is there really something there?" Gui Jianchou and Shen Longyuan looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance and uneasiness. They looked under the tree warily, as if they wanted to use their eyes to penetrate the darkness and fog and see the unknown danger clearly.
Shen Longyuan threw a few night pearls onto the branches, and the whole tree was illuminated. However, this light did not dispel the black fog, but made it look even more weird and terrifying.
"Why did this black fog suddenly appear?" Li Wu frowned, her eyes full of doubt and vigilance. The black fog was silent, but it gave people a heavy sense of pressure, as if it contained an unknown power. Her spiritual consciousness could not sense anything unusual, which made her even more vigilant and uneasy.
"Everyone, be careful. There's something wrong with this black fog!" A deep voice came from afar. He was from the Dark Demon Palace and had some knowledge of dark things, so he was even more afraid of this unknown black fog. His voice was full of vigilance and worry, as if he wanted to remind everyone to pay attention to this potential danger.
"Gather together!" Yingye gave a calm command. Although his voice was calm, it was firm and unquestionable. He knew that in the face of this unknown danger, only unity could help them overcome the difficulties.
"Use fire to disperse the black fog. Gather together quickly, or there will be danger!" Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this. They knew that this black fog was not easy to deal with and contained unknown dangers. They immediately took action and wanted to use fire to disperse the black fog and find a way out.
Gui Jianxiao condensed the Dan Fire and threw it at the black fog, hoping to open a path down the tree. However, he did not expect that the Dan Fire would disappear as soon as it touched the black fog, and instead made the black fog even more arrogant, as if it had eaten something delicious. This sudden change made everyone nervous, and they realized that this black fog was more difficult than they had imagined.
"Senior, black fog is not afraid of fire!" Gui Jianchou screamed in fear when he saw this scene. His scalp was numb, as if the weirdness and horror of the black fog had penetrated into his bones.
"The fire of the elixir is spiritualized, and maybe the black fog just likes it. Try firewood." Dark cultivation is the highest, and the spiritual consciousness is still there. Seeing this strange phenomenon, he immediately understood the reason. While explaining, he asked Ye Chengyuan and Leng Yifeng to break dry branches to make a fire and throw it into the black fog. His voice was calm and firm, as if he was showing everyone a way out.
The torch was thrown into the black fog, and although there was only a faint light, it did not go out. This faint light was like a flower blooming in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope and courage to everyone.
"It seems to be working, keep throwing!" Ye Chengyuan called Leng Yifeng to throw torches together. After they threw hundreds of torches, the black fog finally faded a little, and there was a faint flickering of demonic fire in it. This demonic fire seemed to be the devil's eye in the black fog, spying on their every move.
"Let's go!" An was the first to jump down from the tree. However, the fog was thicker under the tree, making it almost impossible to move. His figure was looming in the fog, as if he was having a silent battle with the god of death.
"Keep throwing firewood!" An's expression was serious. He asked the two men to continue throwing firewood and asked, "What about other places?" His voice was full of anxiety and worry, as if he wanted to understand the development of the whole situation.
There were many people at Guijianchou's place, and a big fire had been built under the tree. Li Ao also felt something was wrong, and she asked everyone to collect more firewood in case of emergency. Her eyes flashed with wisdom and calmness, as if she was guiding everyone to a way out.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy." Li looked around. Everywhere she looked was black fog. This black fog seemed like an invisible devil, trying to devour everything they had. However, she did not give up hope, but judged the situation around her based on the sound. She knew that someone had also lit a fire in the dark, and the three trees were only a few dozen steps apart. But in this thick fog, even the flames could hardly penetrate, which showed how terrible this black fog was.
"We're already down." Li Ai responded calmly. Although her voice was calm, it was full of unquestionable firmness. She knew that in this crisis-ridden moment, only unity could help them overcome the difficulties.
"Ying, how are you doing?" An asked again. His voice was full of anxiety and worry, as if he wanted to know the situation on Ying's side.
"It will take some time." Ying's voice came coldly. He and Hongyi were together. They couldn't use spiritual power and could only pick firewood with their hands. They were busy and the fire was not burning continuously and kept going out. However, they did not give up hope, but continued to work hard to open up a way out for everyone.
The five of them moved quickly, but they didn't know how much firewood they would need to dispel the black fog. They could only try their best to pick firewood, not even sparing those yellowish branches and leaves. If they were not afraid that wet branches would increase the smoke and disturb their vision, they would probably cut down trees to burn. Their eyes flashed with determination and courage, as if they were fighting a silent battle with the god of death.
Under the tree, Shen Longyuan and Gui Jianchou used thick sticks to carry firewood to the fire and moved forward carefully. Their figures were looming in the firelight, as if they were fighting a silent battle with the darkness. They knew that only by moving forward could they find a way to survive.
The three women and Li Ai each held a torch and moved slowly around the fire. They stopped every two steps to wait for the black fog to dissipate before moving on. Their eyes shone with courage and determination, as if they were clearing a way out for themselves and others.
However, the black fog seemed like an invisible devil, constantly devouring their hope and courage. Their speed was very slow, and they had not walked five meters in an hour. This made them feel anxious and uneasy, as if the unknown fear was gradually approaching them.
"What on earth is this black fog? Can it eat people?" The three women were very cautious at first, but later they found that the black fog did not cause any substantial harm, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance. However, the strangeness and horror of the black fog still filled them with doubts and uneasiness. They knew that there must be unknown dangers and secrets hidden behind the black fog.
“Oh, this is bad! Once this black fog touches the body, the skin and flesh will start to rot immediately. In a short while, there will be nothing left of the person!” Before the words fell, an eerie voice came from the darkness, like a ghost whispering, echoing in the thick fog, making people feel creepy, as if an invisible hand was plucking the most tense string in everyone's heart.
"Oh my god!" The three girls screamed in fear, their voices were particularly harsh in the fog, like the wail of a nightingale in a storm. They raised their torches and shone them forward, the flickering light reflecting their frightened faces, but they shrank back in fear, as if being pulled by an invisible rope, and every step seemed so heavy.
I originally thought that this fog was just slightly poisonous, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It corroded like tofu, which was terrifying. This black fog seemed to have life, rolling in the night, and every roll brought the threat of death.
"What should we do?" Li Xueer's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were red and full of despair. "It's still early for dawn, and it's unknown whether the fog will dissipate. Our torches are almost burned out. How can we survive this night?" Her voice echoed in the fog, filled with helplessness and confusion.
Gui Jianxiao and Tian Ying also looked panicked, their eyes were full of fear and anxiety. If they had known that there was such a scary thing in the dark forest, they would have run away long ago. Now, they could only stay close together and use each other's body temperature to dispel the coldness in their hearts.
"No wonder few people who enter this dark forest come out alive. It turns out there is such a terrifying black fog at night." Ye Chengyuan also had a heavy face, and his eyes flashed with worry. He knew the horror of this dark forest, but he didn't expect there would be such a strange black fog at night.
Gui Jianxiao was so angry that she started scolding Leng Yifeng: "It's all your fault, you idiot! If you hadn't led Xuanxin here, how could we be in this desperate situation?" Her voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp knife, piercing Leng Yifeng's heart.
"Oh my God! Xuanxin is missing. I wonder where she is hiding now? Do you know how dangerous this fog is?" Tianying's voice was full of worry and anxiety. She held the torch tightly, as if it was her only support.
