Chapter 19: Infighting in the Mist
What Ye Chen didn't expect was that the road they walked on seemed to be the one they had walked on when they got lost, because no matter how they looked at it, the surrounding scenes were the same as they had been at the beginning.
Along the way, surprisingly smooth, not even a single demonic beast has been encountered, and it is no wonder that in order to prevent being attacked by the Flame Devouring Dragon, more than forty contractors will always summon their own Servant in the outermost area, with this breath, how can any demonic beast kill themselves.
After all, compared to the contractor and the dragon beast, the demon beast is the weakest party, at most it is bullying and bullying ordinary people.
"Girl Snow, are you sure it's going in this direction?" asked the man in the middle of the crowd, known as the deceased, to a woman with a good figure beside him.
"Yes, that's the direction, look, on the ground, there's still the blood we left behind when we fled!" Yuxue frowned slightly, and she could see that she was a little weak now, and her face was very pale.
"Everyone pay attention, the Flame Devouring Dragon may appear at any time now, we have to be careful!" The deceased saw that there were some dark red blood stains on every part of the fruit on the ground, and he shouted at everyone.
The contractors around responded one after another, except for a small number of people who still didn't care and didn't take other people's words seriously, the rest all cheered up and kept looking around.
After walking for hundreds of meters, everyone only felt that their vision was a little hazy, as if an extremely thin haze enveloped this area.
"Ahem...... Hell, what is this!" someone in the crowd cursed.
"I don't know, is there anyone with a wind-attributed Servant? Blow this fog away!"
"I'm coming!"
I saw a man stand up, summon a parrot with colorful wings, and then control it to flap its wings violently, forming a storm and blowing towards this haze.
But something strange happened, this haze, which did not look particularly thick, seemed to have taken root, and no matter how the wind blew, it did not move a little.
"Snow girl, was that what you looked like when you first came here?" the dead man asked.
"No, no, when we came, it was night, and there was no such fog at all. β
"Things have changed. The deceased said in a deep voice, "The fog obstructs our vision, and there is no way to blow this fog away, it is very strange, now we only have two choices, go back first and wait for the opportunity, or risk the danger to continue to move forward, which one do you choose?"
"Definitely go on, there are so many of us,!"
"That's right, it's just a little fog, it's not a big deal!"
"Go ahead, you must avenge the Snow Girl!"
Most of the people actually wanted to take the risk to move on, and the few hesitant contractors were infected and gave up the idea of returning, otherwise they would definitely be regarded as cowards and reduced to a laughing stock.
In the rear, Ye Chen and the others had been following the large army, but they also kept a certain distance, and no one dared to say anything, because when they saw Dongfang Xuan's iconic hair color, they all closed their mouths strangely.
The Eastern Family, in this Eastern Imperial Dragon Wall, is equivalent to the supreme ruler, who dominates the fate of the human race here, and there are a few people who dare to provoke.
"Things are starting to go a little wrong here. Dongfang Xuan felt the fog around him and said, he is the contractor of the fairy species, and he has a keen sense of the elements, and he suddenly discovered something strange.
"The surrounding fog doesn't look like it is made by evaporating water, the gas is blown away by the wind, and it feels more like a fire ......"
"Fire?" Ye Chen said in surprise, "Fire can also form the appearance of fog? Besides, if this is a fire, wouldn't we have burned it a long time ago?"
"No, it's not real fire, it's a special substance formed by the flame mixed with some metal, so that the wind blows not only does not blow it away, but it gets thicker and thicker. β
"So that the person who used the wind to blow just now backfired?"
"Pretty much that's it. Dongfang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"I just heard from the woman named Yuxue that their party came to this place at night, and there was no fog at that time, and I was at that time, too, at night, and there was no fog, that is, this kind of thing only came out during the daytime. Ye Chen began to analyze it in his heart, but at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded!
"Brother Nan, where is Brother Nan?" was the voice of a male contractor, and at this time the haze had become extremely thick, and it was difficult for people to see things even a meter away.
"What's wrong?" cried the dead.
"Brother Nan...... My brother Nan is gone...... I was still by my side just now, but I heard a 'whoosh', and then I was gone!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Be quiet!" the deceased yelled, then walked over to the contractor and asked, "When?"
"That's it...... Just now!"
"Everyone be careful!! it must be, something has come to us, but no one has found it, if you don't want to die, look for me carefully!"
Inexplicably, there was one person missing, and after everyone panicked, they still stabilized and continued to walk forward, while Ye Chen and the two of them behind were attentive.
"There must be a reason for the inexplicable disappearance of people, but so far we haven't seen a single demonic beast, so ...... answer" Ye Chen thought of this, and felt a chill all over his body inexplicably, and then another scream sounded from the front!
"Ahh!!hh
"What's wrong again?"
"Xiao Fang...... Xiao Fang disappeared! He was still talking to me just now, and he disappeared after a 'whoosh!!"
Now, everyone is completely panicked, the powerful enemy is not terrible, the unknown is the most terrible, the death of a frontal battle, everyone here can accept it, but the death is inexplicable, what else is there besides grievance?
For a moment, the scene was chaotic.
"Go back...... I'm going back ......."
"Damn, a coward, go home and nurse!"
"Whatβdo you dare to say it again?"
"It's you, TM Lao Tzu not only talks about you, but also beats you!"
People, when they are extremely afraid, will even completely vent their inner irritability and anger, and this is the beginning of loss of control.
More than forty contractors originally came to fight against the enemy in unison to defeat the Flame Devouring Dragon, but before the enemy could see it, an extremely chaotic infighting began.
All of a sudden, all kinds of Servants were summoned, flames, wind knives, ice spikes, arrows, and the sound of fighting came and went, no one could stop it, even the dead had no choice, although he was powerful, it was impossible for him to face more than forty contractors at the same time.
And everyone is in the haze, the effective range of sight is less than one meter, since it is a fight, there will be accidental injuries, and people, who were not involved, will naturally be angry after being shot while lying down, and they will join the battle.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh......
In the midst of the chaos, there will be a few faint sounds from time to time, but the contractors who are in the chaos will pay a few more attentions, and they are still venting frantically.
Ye Chen and Dongfang Xuan were not involved in the brawl because they were separated from the crowd by a certain distance in advance, and at this time, their faces were a little solemn.
"Did you see it just now?" Ye Chen asked.
"No, such a big fog, how can you have such good eyes, but you can hear the sound. Dongfang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Soon, it has been able to bring up the sound of breaking the wind, so I have shot so many times, but I have not been seen by anyone." β
"No......" Ye Chen shook his head, "Just now, I saw that a thing like a fire arquebus instantly entangled the contractor, and then pulled his whole person away, and the contractor didn't even have a chance to make a sound for help." β
"Fire Rope?" Dongfang Xuan couldn't help but be shocked, "I know, that Flame Devouring Dragon is near us!"
"Is this the attack method that belongs to the Flame Devouring Dragon?" Ye Chen asked, "Now those contractors have no hope, and we can only rely on ourselves. β
"No, add me!" Just as Ye Chen was discussing with Dongfang Xuan, a deep voice came.
Ye Chen turned his head and saw that the person who came turned out to be the deceased.
"Didn't you lead them?" Dongfang Xuan asked.
"That group of rubbish!" the deceased's face twitched, a little embarrassed, "in the face of the crisis, instead of uniting, they started a ridiculous infighting, who wants to lead them!"
After that, his eyes were fixed on Ye Chen's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know how much ability you have, but with Fang Cai's calm analysis, it is not comparable to those wastes, so I chose to join you, presumably, with the strength of my superior contractor, the two of you should not dislike it, right?"
"The deceased's eldest brother is willing to join us in the action, which is naturally extremely welcome, but now is not the time to talk about this, from the beginning to the present, 17 people have been swept away by the Flame Devouring Dragon...... Oh no, 18, it's time to think about what to do. Ye Chen said calmly.
"Eighteen! Even the exact number of people is known, could it be that this person has been observing the whole situation from the beginning to the present?" the deceased looked at the young man in front of him, who was not very old, and it was hard to imagine.
At this time, the melee in front of him gradually subsided, one was because there were fewer and fewer people, and many of the ongoing battles suddenly disappeared, and the other was that after the initial fear and madness were vented, reason finally returned.
But when they calmed down, they found something even more terrifying......
There were originally more than 40 contractors, but now there are only more than 20 left, nearly half of which is missing!
"Both...... All captured by monsters!"
"Die, everyone will die, all of us, will die!"
"Already...... Can't go back......"
After the crazy venting, it is replaced by despair of the cruel reality.
No one saw that on the other side of the haze, above the hideous head full of pimples, there were clearly eyes with a playful gaze.
Humans, who claim to be a race of wisdom and civilization, have been toyed with by the pseudo-dragon from beginning to end this time......
