Chapter 19: The Mist Beast
The fluorescent fox dragging breadcrumbs disappeared after burrowing into the heavy haze, and Jisma, who had recovered from the wild laughter, wiped the tears from the laughter.
"These stupid fluorescent foxes are so funny. Kissma clapped her hands and shook off the crumbs from her hands.
I don't know when, the heavy fog returned, and Kissma suddenly found herself surrounded by clouds.
"What's the matter, the fog is running back again. Naxi noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, and there was a dangerous smell in the fog, as if the breath of a giant beast was hidden in the white haze.
Lidona felt the same way, and once again she grabbed the sword she had just put down, and shouted eagerly towards Kissma's location, "Kissma, come back quickly." β
Already in the mist, Kissma was also a little frightened, she answered the call and turned around, ran a few steps through the fog and reappeared in front of everyone.
"Why is there more fog?" Lidona felt a slight chill behind her, and she was too timid to look back, for fear of seeing something terrible.
Seeing that Gisma had returned, Lidona turned her head to look elsewhere to see if anything was unusual, but she didn't notice that the space around Kisma had changed subtly.
Almost instantly, the dense fog around Jisma suddenly surged violently, transforming into a huge head, and the surging fog quickly materialized, and finally turned into a huge gray cat's head.
Naxi, who had witnessed all this, couldn't help but exclaim, "Jisma, get down!"
Unfortunately, this warning came too late, and the huge cat's head had already opened its hideous mouth and bit the unaware Jisma.
The huge fangs pierced Kissman's snow-white priest's robes, and the red blood flowed down like a spring, and the poor priest didn't even have time to moan.
"No! Kissma!" Turning her head to see this devastating scene, Lidona, who had been expressionless, also collapsed at the moment, "Don't do this"
At this time, the cat's eyes were closed, and his moon-like pupils were staring closely at Lidona who was holding the sword, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Seeing that Kisma's hands and feet were still twitching, Lidona didn't even think about swinging her sword directly, and a slash like a crescent moon had already flown towards the most obvious target.
In the face of a fatal slash, the huge cat beast actually only smiled slightly. At the moment when the crescent-shaped sword qi was about to shatter the target, the left half of the cat's head turned into an ethereal mist again, and the slash flew straight out as if it hit the air, cutting down the trees in the mist, without causing any damage to the target.
Seeing that the slash missed, a frustrated Lidona jumped forward, ready to attack the strange cat that had bitten Kissma, so that it could let go and save Kissma, who was seriously injured.
The giant cat's head stepped back, and Kisma, who was still struggling but unable to scream, disappeared into the fog.
Lidona, who was bound to win, swooped into the air, and once again slashed her sword into the ethereal fog.
Seeing her best friend being dragged into the fog and the sound of devouring from the void, Lidona couldn't control her emotions anymore.
"Don't!" Lidona couldn't control her grief any longer, and fell to her knees and cried.
For the first time, the crowd, frightened by the tragedy that had taken place in front of them, saw this Lidona crying.
But Naxi didn't think about it so much, the killing machine hidden in the thick fog had threatened the entire team.
"Haha, your luck is really good!" Nubis laughed at this point, "even the most dangerous existence in the Misty Woodland has found you, what a retribution." β
The nervous and breathless crowd surrounded Lidona, who was still crying, and if even Lidona, the strongest member of the group, fell, they would have to wait here to die.
Tsunzawa, who had never seen such a scene before, was also nervous, and he bowed his head slightly, hiding his body as low as possible under the protection of the shield. As the oldest being in the team, he felt the need to stir up the captain's fighting spirit.
"Miss Lidona, please let go of your grief for a moment. Gang Ze's eyes were glued to the fog that could kill at any moment, "Although Miss Kissma has already met with an accident, we can't fall here. When we arrive in the City of a Thousand Wishes, we can still call back Miss Kisma. β
Hearing this, Kissma recovered a little from her grief, and she gritted her teeth and stood up, her great sword gripping even tighter.
Turning grief into anger, Lidona took a step forward: "Come out, damn pussy! I don't like hide and seek." β
In the face of Lidona's roar, the murderer responded. The dense fog in the forest condensed again, transforming into the head of the wild cat that had attacked Kissma. It smiled at an enraged Lidona, and there was still a stain of blood between its teethβno doubt poor Gisma had been eaten by it.
Faced with the provocation of the strange cat, Lidona jumped and slashed at the strange cat's head without even thinking about it. At the moment when the sword was about to touch the strange cat, the huge cat's head once again dispersed into a dense fog, and Lidona's attack still missed.
"Don't waste your efforts, the Mist Beast is immune to physical attacks. Nubis, who was encased in the dimensional net, said triumphantly, knowing the entire Thousand Wishes Realm very well, and he knew very well what the monster that appeared in front of him was.
Naxi's hands trembled slightly, and he felt a trace of despair as he watched the angry Lidona frantically attack the monsters that appeared and disappeared, but each blow missed. If even Lidona, the strongest member of the team, can't do anything about this monster.
Naxi asked what the monster was in front of him as he watched out of the fog at any moment.
"Nubis, what kind of monster is this, why is it so powerful!" Naxi tried to feign surprise as much as he could, and he found that Nubis was especially gullible when he was complimented. If not, the damn Guide Elf wouldn't reveal a single thing like him.
"This is the famous Fog Beast Meow in the Fog Glade, you stupid humans have never seen such a high-end Fog Beast. Nubis said proudly, "It's not your fault, after all, the age of mythology has passed so long. You uninformed people have no idea that the horrors that are gone are gone. β
"Age of Mythology!γ Naxi showed an expression of disbelief, he didn't expect such a difficult thing to be a beast from the Age of Mythology.
But as soon as he thought about it, Naxi also felt that it was not impossible. The puppet tunnel worms that appeared in the Confused Grassland also belonged to the semi-puppet creatures created by ancient technology, and the realm of a thousand wishes was one of those legendary holy places. You must know that the Holy Land has experienced the baptism of the Age of Mythology, so it is not surprising that a strange beast like the Mist Beast, which has never been seen before, can appear here.
Looking at Naxi's shocked look, the triumphant Nubis continued: "Meow, who can atomize his body at any time, is immune to any physical attack. Even if it is a Juggernaut-level existence, there is no way to take it, and a broken adventure team like you is waiting to be slowly cleaned up by Meows!haha......"
Nubis, who knows the Fog Beast's surname very well, knows that the reason why Meow Wus didn't kill these adventurers under his eyes is because of his nickname. Once the fog beast feels tired of playing the game, the next thing is a one-sided slaughter.
The reason why Nubis is so sure is because there are no powerful spellcasters in the team in front of him. Meow Wooth took out Kissma first in order to reduce the uncertainty in the team, after all, it didn't feel any threat from Naxi, a junior mage.
Watching an enraged Lidona make a dazzling but useless attack at the ethereal Meow, Nubis stretched to squint for a moment.
He wished he had woken up by the time Meows had killed all the damned adventurers.
ps: I can only take a shift home in a hurry today.
