The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

Although Xia Zhiming and Luo Xiaochen already knew the identity of Nie Renyan, and had seen him help the master to withstand the surging tide, it seemed that he simply stretched out his hand to form a black barrier against the seawater coming from the sky. , it was easily blocked.Including the shocking sea of ​​flames and the overflowing murderous aura last night, people feel that everyone under the sea of ​​flames is insignificant, like ants. The city will be devastated, such strength and lethality are simply palpitating.

However, probably because the fog left everyone with such a deep and terrifying impression, there were only a few less than [-] people left in the entire city almost overnight.A heavy fog instantly turned them into survivors in the mass graves, and the blood of the dead flowed everywhere under their feet, mixed together, and it was impossible to even know where the blood came from before it became cold. Which body flowed out, because there was no corpse at all.

All this made everyone subconsciously regard the fog as an invincible god of death from the bottom of their hearts. Anyone who encounters it will die unless he escapes by chance.

Therefore, even though Nie Renyan and the master were not ordinary people, Luo Xiaochen and the others were not sure whether the two could return safely in the thick fog.

After Xia Zhiming's reminder, everyone was a little worried, and they subconsciously looked out through the glass balcony doors and windows.However, before they focused on looking for the familiar figure, they were all stunned by the scene outside.

Although it has been known since entering the base, because of the cover of lush ancient trees, it has not been eroded by the heavy fog.But they don't know how these trees, which have nothing special except that they are older and denser, resist the terrible fog.

So, when they saw the dense white fog that should have been spreading evenly, they seemed to be attracted and gathered around every ancient tree, leaving only a relatively thin layer, hazy like ordinary water. Fog-like mist drifted densely, and when the seemingly harmless glass covered a very thin layer, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

"Fuck!" Luo Xiaochen pointed outside, unable to speak at all: "This, is this really the kind of fog we are talking about? What's the matter with being so gentle?! You must have made a mistake, right? This cliff is just ordinary fog, it’s no problem to reach out and grab a handful, right hehehehehe..."

"Have you ever seen ordinary fog look like this?" Xia Zhiming pointed angrily at the ancient tree not far away - through the faint layer of water vapor on the window glass, one could see the white fog that wrapped it like a cocoon group.He snorted and said, "Don't you want to stretch out your claws? Come on, just go and pick them up, and see how many fingers are left when you retract."

"..." Luo Xiaochen silently withdrew his paw that was pressing on the window glass. Through the paw print, he saw the strange scene outside more clearly. He immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and took a step back, keeping a safe distance from the window.

Fang Siyuan, who was standing by the farthest window, muttered, "Why is the water vapor so light on the window in front of you, but so thick on my side?" The window in front of him was covered with a thick layer of water vapor, Almost unable to see the outside at all, Fang Siyuan stretched out his paw and scratched twice on the window glass, trying to wipe out a clear area, but found that the wiped area was still white, completely invisible. not outside.

Standing next to him, Mu Mu pointed to the window and said, "Outside problems." He was always expressionless, and now he looked as calm as ever.

Fang Siyuan moved towards him in some confusion, and looked at it from his angle through the glass in front of which the water vapor was slightly thinner, but in the next second he sternly complained in his heart: Nima is so In a weird situation, if you get a little excited, you will die! !

"Boss! What's going on?!" Fang Siyuan immediately jumped up, pulled Xia Zhiming over the balcony, and pointed to him: "I'll go! Didn't the white mist go to cover the trees? Why are we here too?" Get together?!"

In fact, it’s not just gathering together, there are new white fluffs floating down from the sky, melting into a thick white mist in mid-air, most of them are sucked by the surrounding trees, but some of them are continuously flowing towards the sky. The balcony window of their room gathered together.

Their first reaction was: their room was at the very edge of the building, and there was a huge tree growing next to it, and the crown of the tree even lay on the roof. The fog might have been sucked in by the tree next to it.However, they denied this idea almost at the same time, because the window where the white mist was gathering was just the one farthest from the tree, and next to it was the balcony of the next room.

"Hiss—how could this be?!" Xia Zhiming was also a little confused, the white mist outside this window was getting thicker and thicker, and the area covered was expanding little by little, but it always centered on this area.He bent down and looked carefully at the edge of the window. He had hoped that the fog that gathered would have only form but no substance, that is, it looked scary and would not erode objects, but after hearing the familiar "hissing" sound, he pulled The person beside him suddenly took a step back, and said in a deep voice, "Go into the room, the glass is—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the white mist that had been gathering on the glass in front of him suddenly began to thin out, as if a fan had appeared around him, and the vortex of air flow formed had twisted all the surrounding white mist into it.

The white mist gathered outside the window was quickly pulled away at a speed discernible to the naked eye. When the large cloud of white mist completely disappeared, everyone saw a strange scene through the translucent glass again——

Outside the misty window, in the dense mist, a tall and powerful figure came from a distance. He took big strides, but his speed was faster than sprinting. One second he was still above the cascading mountains and forests, and the next The second was almost in front of us, which really surprised Luo Xiaochen and the others who were leaning against the glass.Wherever he passed, all the white mist wrapped around the trees seemed to be sucked away, and they were quickly pulled away from the trees one after another, and gathered towards him like crazy, which naturally included those who had gathered on the balcony The ball outside the window pane.

The white mist was like a cyclone on a satellite cloud image, swirling and gathering around the man in filamentary flocs, rushing into his body——

That's right, the body.

"Nie, Nie Renyan!" Luo Xiaochen started to stammer again, this kind of situation totally subverted his three views!In the white mist last time, Nie Renyan was like them, hiding in the standby room in the basement of the hospital, avoiding the white mist like a snake and a scorpion, why did he become a human-shaped fog stirrer this time? !How many people can be melted in a few seconds with so much and such a thick fog? !It actually poured into Nie Renyan's body like this, and there was nothing abnormal about him, and he didn't even rub off a piece of skin!

"No, no, no! It must be the wrong way for me to open my eyes!" Luo Xiaochen couldn't understand what was going on.

Also incomprehensible is everyone in the room except him, especially Jiang Qi who didn't even know that "Nie Renyan is the white tiger yesterday". When the black figure in the night was almost exactly the same, she was completely stunned.

But Xia Zhiming and Mu Mu were obviously much calmer than the other three. When they saw Nie Renyan approaching, they even remembered to open the window to let him in. But before they unlocked the window, they saw Nie Renyan disappear in front of them. In a black mist that suddenly gathered, at the same time, a cloud of black mist appeared in the balcony, spreading like ink, Nie Renyan walked out from inside, the black mist under his feet had not disappeared, following his steps, silk Strands drifted outward.

He hardly looked at other people, and went straight to Ye Zhao's bed, then knelt down on his knees, held Ye Zhao's lifeless pale hand, and stroked his broad palm a few times.

The black kitten that had been squatting beside Ye Zhao's hand took two steps away after he appeared, then carefully and tentatively moved to its original place, and rubbed its face on the back of Nie Renyan's hand twice, flatteringly. He called out softly.

Several people on the balcony followed him into the house, but they didn't stand by his side, but kept a proper distance.I don't know if it's an illusion, but when they looked at Nie Renyan walking from the mist, they always felt that something had changed...

The eyes, aura, and even the feeling of walking seem to be similar to the original ones, but they seem to be quite different...

Jiang Qi, who often joked with him on weekdays, was standing in the corner of the room, looking at him, Ye Zhao, who was holding hands by him, and Xiao Hei, who was rubbing against the two of them, with a hint of surprise on her face. Fear, fear that she didn't even realize.

Nie Renyan half-closed his eyes and stared at Xiao Hei who was rubbing against the back of his hand for a long time, then suddenly let out a deep "Yo", as if greeting, he stretched out a finger to scratch Xiao Hei's chin, and said, "It's you .”

This greeting made the faces of the people standing around a bit strange. Luo Xiaochen stared at his back for a while, then reached out and poked Xia Zhiming next to him and said in a low voice, "Amnesia? Why did it take me so long to recognize Xiao Hei?" ?”

"No..." Xia Zhiming said, "It's not like amnesia..." It's not even like a simple greeting to Xiao Hei, the cat, but more like greeting someone else who has known him for many years through Xiao Hei... Of course, it may not be human.

Everyone was a little puzzled, and heard a melodious bird song outside the window, with a long tail, followed by the flapping of wings.They heard the sound and looked towards the balcony, and saw a huge fiery red figure circled outside the window, and then a piece of yellow talisman floated to the window, and then, it ran outside all night, making it a little ashamed The master passed through the glass with the talisman paper, walked straight into the house, and stuffed the pomegranate that had shrunk in size back into the cloth pocket as he walked.

"Boy, will you die if you walk slowly?! The old man's pomegranate is exhausted!" The master complained to Nie Renyan angrily, then pointed out the window, and said: "We may really be right this time, look Look outside, the fog has gathered again."

Nie Renyan let out a "huh", then straightened up, picked up the unconscious Ye Zhao, turned his head towards the window, and said to everyone: "I will take him out for a few days." After saying that, he turned his head to the balcony Walk, while walking, a large cloud of black smoke quickly rises from the bottom of your feet.

"Ah? Why?" Luo Xiaochen was a little confused.

Going out to live on this kind of day? ?Besides, where do you live?Apart from the base and the nearby villages, there are only endless mountains in the vicinity.

"Because we stay here, you won't live long." Nie Renyan raised one corner of his mouth and smiled back. It seemed that he just made a nasty joke, and with Ye Zhao in his arms, he completely disappeared into the black mist middle.
