Chapter 21: The Night Mist
After leaving the fortress, Ji Muhuo finally knew from the mouth of the captain of the accompanying scout cavalry what the so-called "strange appearance of the dark elves" was, there was no one in their stronghold, as if half of all the dark elves had disappeared out of thin air. And after those scouts sent this message, they didn't know why, and they were never heard from again.
Originally, I thought that the two corps of Fire Raven and Qingxue were all wiped out, and they were inseparable from the dark elves, but now it seems that things are not so simple, because the dark elves are also completely annihilated. This is also the reason why the three of them were sent to lead a team of scouts to each of the three strongholds of the dark elves.
The group moved quickly in a suspended airship. This airship is quiet, does not leave a trace when flying, and is extremely fast, making it ideal for covert missions. The only drawback is that the cost of the Charge Hedron is too large to be used regularly, so it rarely appears in ordinary legions.
Ji Muhuo's destination was at the Dark Elf Headquarters, even if their teleportation point was located, so it was the farthest from the Imperial Fortress, and it would take two days to walk.
After dark, it was not easy to fly, and the source energy of the airship fluctuated somewhat conspicuously in the silent night, so they anchored in a barren mountain.
There are many animals and plants in the silent cemetery, but there are few fierce birds and beasts, which is a very peculiar phenomenon, as if the top of the entire ecological chain has collapsed together, and it is completely invisible.
According to the information given by the Wind Tiger about the Silent Cemetery, a biologist once came here for a short investigation and felt that there were only two possibilities for such a situation: one was because he had experienced some special circumstances, such as divine warfare or natural disasters, which caused all the lives at the top of the food chain to die and never evolve again; The second is that there is a mechanism in the Silent Cemetery that will cause the life at the top of the food chain to die. No one knows which one is closer to the truth, but it is where the name "Silent Cemetery" comes from.
"My lord, we are going to shut down the airship completely, do you have any other orders?"
Ji Muhuo was the leader of this team of scouts, so the captain of the scout team asked him for his life.
Since it is spent overnight in the wilderness, in order to cover up the hiding, the airship must be closed, so as to ensure that no source energy fluctuations are leaked.
Ji Muhuo nodded, and the captain of the scout cavalry immediately acted as ordered.
Ji Muhuo looked at these burly men crowded inside the small airship, and naturally felt a sense of closeness in his heart.
There are a total of six scouts in this team, all of them are soldiers, the captain Huang Qi is an eighth-level soldier, and the deputy captain Yan Shan is a seventh-level soldier, and the other four are all sixth-level soldiers.
Along the way, the people of the scout team were very respectful to Ji Muhuo, but this kind of respect was all face-saving, and it was far away, except for some necessary instructions, they would never say anything more to Ji Muhuo.
However, this is also understandable, these scouts are all ordinary big-headed soldiers, and Ji Muhuo is a nobleman, no matter how you look at it, the status of the two sides is clear, and it is impossible to mix together.
Ji Muhuo closed his eyes and recuperated, because he was worried that the source energy fluctuations would leak out, he only entered the time altar and did the necessary homework every day, and then returned to the real world to wait for the night to be over.
After midnight—
Suddenly, Huang Qi, the captain of the reconnaissance cavalry, greeted him softly: "My lord, there is a situation." ”
"What's wrong?"
Ji Muhuo opened his eyes and stretched out his senses at the same time, but he didn't find anything, and couldn't help but look at Huang Qi curiously.
Huang Qi led Ji Muhuo to the driver's seat, where there was an image device, which was connected to the camera outside, and saw that in the image of the camera facing the sky, a very strange black fog appeared, which was floating in the sky, spreading from the depths of the silent cemetery.
However, because the height of the black fog is at least hundreds of meters, it will not be perceived at all if it is not seen by the eyes.
"What is this?"
Ji Muhuo looked at the black mist wandering in the air, couldn't help frowning slightly, and quickly recalled the information he had read, trying to find out if there was a description of similar natural phenomena.
Huang Qi seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, and lowered his voice and said, "My lord, there are no clouds and mist in the Silent Cemetery, so this is not a natural phenomenon, there must be something strange." ”
Ji Muhuo nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's not do anything, just observe quietly." ”
Huang Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect that since Ji Muhuo didn't say anything about going out to investigate, he was a little at a loss for a while.
Ji Muhuo said to himself: "The order we received was to rush to the dark elf's stronghold and check the situation there, as for this black fog, it is not the purpose of our trip, just observe." ”
When Huang Qi heard this, he suddenly understood, and a trace of disdain or happiness flashed in his heart, disdainful that this aristocratic young man's words were more like excuses, and he was happy that he didn't have to take risks with such a boss...... What he thought in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't miss anything, and said awe-inspiringly: "Got it, my lord." ”
Ji Muhuo didn't care what Huang Qi thought, his attention was only on those black mist in mid-air.
There was more and more black fog, gradually enveloping the entire sky.
On the sky of the silent cemetery, there was no starlight, the sky was dark, only the faint light above the haze, which allowed people to see at night, but at this time, after the sky was shrouded in black fog, it completely cut off the surrounding light source, and the huge black curtain tightly covered the whole world, without leaking a gap.
"Don't speak, all of them will restrain the breath and source energy fluctuations on their bodies."
Ji Muhuo quickly ordered Huang Qi to instruct the others, and he himself simply closed his eyes, just opened his perception and sensed the movement outside.
Under his Thor's eyes, all the movement around him was in his "eyes", and he tried to "see" into the black mist, only to find that it was as thick as glue, and he couldn't "see" into it at all.
"It's weird!"
Ji Muhuo's heart moved, thinking that he had never used the ultimate state of the Eye of Thor, and immediately condensed the power of the soul, and the soul and will of the whole person were all injected into it, slowly activating the ultimate state of the Eye of Thor.
Suddenly—
Ji Muhuo only felt that a barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, and the barrier was covered with black ink-like water vapor, and as his eyes "forced" opened, all those black ink-like water vapor were wiped away, and then the huge world behind the barrier appeared in front of his eyes.
"What is this?"
Ji Muhuo was shocked in his heart, because he felt as if his soul had passed through that barrier and flew into it.
Behind the barrier, there is a sea of ups and downs, and there is a huge body in the center of the sea of fog, lying there with a floating load, although the description of the body cannot be seen clearly because of the barrier of the sea of fog, but it is vaguely a humanoid body, and it exudes a trace of divine power, which is terrifying.
"There is a divine power, that is the divine body? Is it another true god who has not died? ”
Ji Muhuo's heart moved, and he tried very hard to see the huge body, but the scene in the sea of fog was not an entity, it seemed to be just a projected phantom, so he couldn't get close.
After circling around your sea of fog like ants in a hot pot for a while, Ji Muhuo finally gave up and was about to put away the Eye of Thor, but suddenly heard a burst of anxious voices coming from that body: "Save me, save me, come and save me......"
This voice was both like a temptation and a request, which made Ji Muhuo stunned for a moment, and he lost control of his consciousness for a moment.
Fortunately, his soul power was strong enough, and after only a slight loss of consciousness, he quickly recovered again, quickly put away the Eye of Thor, and his soul and will also retreated from the black mist.
"That's amazing!"
The soul returned to its place, and Ji Muhuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The moment of loss of consciousness before made him feel a little scared, you must know that with the help of the "Dragon Emperor Heaven Devouring Technique", his soul power is increasing greatly every day, and ordinary soul attacks cannot shake him at all, maybe only a strong person at the divine level can suppress him. However, the body in the sea of fog just now was obviously just a projection of a phantom, but it made his heart shake, and such a power really had to make him secretly frightened.
