Chapter 1: The Gray Mist Forest

The northernmost part of the Western Continent, beyond the border of the Shuo Dynasty, is the legendary Gray Mist Forest.

This forest extends to the edge of the Far North Ice Sea, the range is very large, and it is shrouded in gray fog all year round, and it is precisely because of this layer of gray fog that the sun cannot shine into all year round that this forest is full of monsters and is very terrifying.

Over the years, it has been difficult to have any more low-level monsters in the Gray Mist Forest, and they have all been eaten clean by other high-level monsters. There are not many animals in the forest, except for monsters, there are only some characters such as the great villains and wanted criminals who are difficult to survive in the territory of the Shuo Dynasty, and they are strong and can barely live in the gray mist forest.

If you want to get out of here, there are only two ways, one is to go all the way to the northeast to the snow-covered land, to the edge of the North Sea, and leave from the ice sea, and the other is to climb over the bones of the northern border and say hello face-to-face with the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shuo Dynasty guarding the frontier.

Either way, for most people, it's a dead end.

The colder the place, the more monsters there are and the more powerful they are, so if you want to go from the Grey Mist Forest to the North Sea, you have to face very terrifying monsters.

As for the bones of the Northern Realm, not to mention, in addition to the peerless powerhouses above the eighth order, even the seventh order would not be willing to face one of the most powerful armies in the world.

Therefore, for those who have escaped into the Grey Mist Forest, they will either die of starvation in this forest, be eaten by monsters, or can't resist trying to escape and die on the way.

For this forest, they are just rats hiding underground.

But today, all of these rats have come out.

One figure after another appeared in the forest, running through the thick gray fog.

For them, they didn't know that on the other side of the forest, there were many people like themselves running.

But there is no doubt that their faces have expressions of extreme fear!

When facing the monsters blocking the way in the forest, these people who ran have stimulated their powerful potential, kill those monsters one by one, and continue to run!

Their appearance, obviously, was running for their lives.

Some people fled in the direction of the high wall to the south, while others couldn't tell the direction at all and fled blindly.

Finally, a fierce-looking man inadvertently fell into a deep pit, and was caught by four iron corpses dormant in the pit, unable to break free no matter what.

"You, you let go of me!" This man, who looked like he could eat human flesh and blood without changing his face, turned red at this time, and exerted the power of the martial artist to the extreme!

With a bang, this man forcibly tore off the head of an iron corpse with his hands!

Being able to tear the head of an iron corpse with his hands, this man's strength is already at least a fifth-order peak martial artist!

However, at this moment, a distant laughter came like a bell.

The man's pupils widened suddenly.

I saw that the head of the iron corpse that he threw into the air was suddenly grabbed by something with a "whoosh", leaving only an afterimage.

Two seconds later, a huge eye appeared above the pit!

The mighty man held his breath in horror.

And the other three iron corpses were also inexplicably frozen at this time.

The perennial terrifying, weird smile on their faces even showed a frightened expression!

Grunt......

With the sound of water gushing, a black liquid poured in from the edge of the pit.

The liquid quickly poured into the left and right of the knees of the man and the iron corpse, and the man didn't jump up or wait in place, and his face already showed a completely desperate expression.

At this moment, the huge eye on the top of the pit suddenly moved away, revealing the familiar gray mist sky again.

The man was overjoyed, and as soon as his feet exerted his strength, he wanted to get rid of the three monsters who had already taken care of themselves and jumped out of the pit.

However, he had just bent his knees when a large cloud of black liquid somehow suddenly fell from the sky and landed on his face!

The liquid directly covered his entire face, and then, as if alive, it took the initiative to burrow through the man's mouth, nose and ears.

The moment the liquid landed on his face, the man never moved again, maintaining a posture ready to jump.

When the black liquid burrowed into his body, his eyes were soon completely filled with black, and his mouth made a "ho-ho" sound.

The three iron corpses on the side were unable to maintain their self-balance in the liquid, and they fell into the liquid one after another.

Then, they never got back up.

Soon, the strange liquid quickly filled the pit, enveloping both the Iron Corpse Monster and the man.

Then, the liquid wrapped around them and "crawled" out of the pit!

It squirmed on the ground and crawled to the ...... A giant creature on the body.

The appearance of this huge creature is indescribable.

It resembled a mass, filthy jelly, and a large puddle of black snot, it had no fixed shape, and came from the other side of the Grey Mist Forest, almost half as tall and boundless wide as the great trees of the forest.

It's like a tsunami of the waves, swallowing everything like a natural disaster!

The reason why it is said to be a living thing is that it is clearly conscious.

It's not moving fast, it's not hurrying.

In its huge black gelatinous body, the remains of countless creatures could be faintly seen, including humans, various monsters, and ordinary beasts.

They float and float like corpses sunk in the mire.

As the giant creature moved, it made a sound like the laughter of a silver bell, and slowly moved in the direction of the bones of the North.

It has countless "eyes" and "mouths" on its body, but these organs are large and small, and they are of different shapes, and it is not even known if they are the organs that the creature has taken from the prey it has devoured.

When it finds new prey, it will even separate a part of its body, wrap it around the other person, and then retract this part of its body to complete the devouring.

No creature can survive its devouring.

The giant creature moved slowly.

Strangely, the trees in the forest didn't hurt at all, and after crawling, at most it left some residual black liquid on the trees, apparently not causing any damage.

If anyone takes a closer look at this huge creature at this time, they will be horrified to find that inside its body, there is even a kind of monster that can only be seen in legends!

It is a story passed down by the soldiers who guarded the bones of the northern border, and it is said that in the north of the Gray Fog Forest, on the land of ice and snow, there is a monster called the Snow Lady.

It has a nice name, but it's actually terrifying.

It has long hair like a woman, hence its name. However, its appearance is not at all pretty, this monster has skin as pale as ice and snow, is four meters tall, and has long gray and black hair that runs from the top of its head to the soles of its feet.

It is said that the Snow Lady has the strength of the seventh order, and is the real king of monsters, before the Shuo Dynasty established the bones of the northern realm more than a hundred years ago, there were some brave masters who went deep into it and saw this kind of monster, after that, they fled back in horror, and there was not one in ten.

It is said that any creature it sees will be frozen, from blood to bone marrow, and then slowly eaten by it.

But now, this legendary monster is among the huge creatures like black colloids!

Long hair, a four-meter-tall body, pale skin, and feet resemble those of a human. However, now its body was completely twisted, most of its neck was broken, and only a layer of skin hung on its head and body, rolling in the body of the giant black creature!

On the high walls of the bones of the North.

The Sun Banner representing the northern garrison hunted above the high wall, and a soldier standing guard frowned, half of his body leaned out of the wall, looking at the gray mist forest ahead.

"Hey, look, is there anything unusual in the forest?"

"What's the change?"

His comrade-in-arms asked, put down the food he was eating, wiped his mouth and stood up: "The monster is in a commotion again? Isn't the winter all over?"

Then, the two soldiers looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see anything.

"There was no sign of the trees toppling at all, and although the gray fog was a little disturbed, it was ...... All in all, it doesn't feel like a monster tide. ”

Both came to conclusions at the same time.

"But, as a rule, let's ask the Skywalker to take a look?" asked the soldier who first noticed the problem.

"I'm going to go, you're going. ”

His comrade-in-arms said, "You are full, but I haven't eaten yet." It's been a long time since I've added meat, I'll eat it first, and you go and call a Skywalker to come over. ”

"Okay. ”

The soldier scurried down the walls, while his comrade crouched down again, picked up his meal and ate it again.

About ten minutes later, the soldier arrived at the city wall with a non-commissioned officer with a significantly higher rank on his shoulders.

"What's the situation?"

The non-commissioned officer asked.

The soldier who was eating put down the bowl and said, "Ah, sir, the ......."

He swallowed a piece of meat, and before he could reply, the non-commissioned officer had already looked at the Grey Mist Forest himself.

Then, his face sank rapidly.

Ignoring the two bewildered soldiers beside him, the non-commissioned officer flew directly.

Skywalkers already have excellent eyesight, and after flying into the sky, even the vast gray mist forest can be seen in full view.

What's more, this non-commissioned officer has four sun symbols on his epaulettes, and he is a fourth-order Sky Walker, which is already a small master in the army!

After flying into the sky, the non-commissioned officer's face changed again, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to understand what he was seeing.

The non-commissioned officer flew back to the city wall, and in the face of the two soldiers standing straight, he thought for a moment and said, "Immediately go and inform the first reconnaissance team, there is a special ...... No, I don't need you, I'll go personally, you go and report to the marshal!"

"Report to the marshal?!" The two soldiers didn't seem to expect at all, how serious this matter was?

The non-commissioned officer did not explain to them at all, and flew directly again, towards the huge barracks inside the high walls.

The two soldiers looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they both saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes.
