Chapter 163: Mist
Xiao Chen and the others stepped forward, and those who were standing in front of the mist turned their eyes over.
These are all students who have taken the third round of assessments.
"It's them!" The bald Gulint, the flame girl Anya, as well as Xiao Chen, Dong Yeyu and others, are all celebrities.
There is no one who is there who does not know.
Gullite swept his gaze, looked at these people in his eyes, and suddenly said to a mage with a slender face and some sharp eyes: "Billy, you are here too, hehe, it looks like you have been walking very hard." โ
The slender priest was visibly injured with blood stains on his body and bandages on his hands.
"Gullint!" Billy looked at Gullint indifferently.
Many of the people here are injured, and some even have broken their arms, but Xiao Chen's group is the most intact on their bodies, not even a single injured one, and they look very relaxed.
"Billy, I said, if the strength is not good, don't break through. Gullint said hesitantly.
"You ......," a flash of anger flashed in Billy's eyes.
He was also extremely surprised that Gullint had come here unharmed, Billy was confident that his strength would not be weaker than Gullint, but the dangers encountered on the way made him and a few companions walk very hard, and he was almost killed by some monsters several times.
"Hmph, you're just lucky. Billy regained his composure and said indifferently.
Gulint sneered disdainfully, and turned his gaze to the thick fog that stood in front of everyone.
This is a gray-white dense fog, almost as thick as liquid, and Gulint even found that his spiritual power cannot penetrate deep into the mist, and this mist can even isolate the exploration of spiritual power.
In this case, even the lowest-ranking mage can notice that something is wrong.
Xiao Chen and the others also discovered the abnormality of this fog at the same time.
"Something is wrong with this fog. Gullint retreated to Xiao Chen's side.
Xiao Chen nodded.
No wonder, so many people are here, they haven't entered the fog, the road is obviously cut off, only through this fog, but everyone finds that in this fog, spiritual power has no perceptual use, mages are not swordsmen, if they don't have spiritual power to perceive the surroundings, it is equivalent to losing their eyes, even if they are close to any monster, they can't find out, and they will die miserably when the time comes.
These mages, all wounded, were clearly hesitating.
"Xiao Chen, how is it?" asked Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at this piece of fog and said in a calm tone: "Of course, we came here, so we might give up because of a piece of fog." โ
At this time, his mental power was still trying to penetrate deep into the mist.
"Well, it's not completely useless, at least, I can go two meters deep. Xiao Chen found that this weapon was not completely isolated from perception, and if he used his spiritual power with all his might, he would still be able to penetrate two meters deep.
However, his spiritual power is comparable to that of a two-star mage, he can only perceive within two meters, and the others have almost no perception, just like ordinary people.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Xiao Chen waved his hand.
As he spoke, the first one walked towards the mist, and Xue Wei Xuerui and Dong Yeyu immediately followed.
Anya, Gullint and Toya hesitated for a moment and followed.
"Glint, Glint!" shouted Okor.
"What are you doing?" said Gulint impatiently, looking back.
"That's how you went in?" Okor originally wanted to follow Gulint all the time, at least let them protect themselves until they passed the assessment, so that those crystal cards that were extorted by Gulint would not be a loss, and the Golantai family's motto was to let each gold coin play the role of ten gold coins.
However, this strange fog made him timid.
Even if they follow Gulint and them, they don't have mental power perception, and they may not be killed by monsters when the time comes.
"If you want to follow, follow it, ramble anything. After Gu Lin finished speaking, he turned his head and followed in the footsteps of Xiao Chen and the others.
"They're in!" the dozens of priests present all stood up.
They were hesitating, because everyone was hesitating, so no one dared to be the first to enter the fog.
Now, someone broke the deadlock, Billy stared at Gulint's figure that disappeared into the mist, and snorted coldly: "Go, that kid from Gulint is in, we can't lag behind." โ
He greeted a few of his companions and swept into the mist.
At the same time, several mages who thought they were strong and very confident also stood up and walked towards the mist, and many others were watching and listening to the movement in the mist.
As soon as Xiao Chen walked into the mist, his whole body was wrapped in a thick mist, and his perception degraded to the limit. When the perception of the priest is closed, it is equivalent to suddenly becoming an ordinary person, and the sense of disparity is very uncomfortable.
"Denox, do you know what kind of fog this is?" Xiao Chen asked in his mind.
Denox's voice rang out: "I don't know, this fog is very strange. โ
Even De Nox didn't know about this fog, Xiao Chen was stunned, it seems that the tomb of this ** master is really mysterious enough.
Xiao Chen raised his spirit, in such an environment, he had to be careful.
At this moment, Xiao Chen sensed a trace of fluctuations in the void, he stretched out his hand, a blue light appeared in the palm, he grabbed it in the air, his hand held tightly, after a while, he stretched out his palm, in his palm, there was a bug, the silver worm in the cyan wind vortex in Xiao Chen's palm, rushed left and right, and could not escape the blue light.
This insect is covered in silver, and there are some strange patterns on its back, looking at those patterns, Xiao Chen's eyes are a little dizzy.
"Something. "Xiao Chen hasn't seen a pattern that can make him feel a little dizzy just by looking at it.
He pulled out a bottle and filled the little bug into it.
"Young Master. Xue Wei Xuerui's voice sounded not far behind him.
"I'm here. Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chen, I can't see you. "Anya, and Gulint's voice rang out.
"Come here. Xiao Chen said.
Without perception, the field of vision was blocked by a dense fog, and this group of people, almost no different from the blind, heard Xiao Chen's voice, and everyone gathered around.
"Everyone, hold up the magic shield, pay attention to the people around you, and don't get separated. Xiao Chen commanded.
"Good. Everyone responded and listened to Xiao Chen's command.
At this time, behind them, there were more voices, and some people broke into the fog.
"Who?" said nervous voices in the mist, and everyone was nervous as they couldn't see each other.
"It's me, Baldi. A rough voice rang out.
"Damn, don't suddenly walk behind me, sign up if you get close to someone else. Someone scolded.
"I said, let's go together, it's safer to be in a place like this, everyone is together, isn't it?" someone suggested.
A lot of people are in favor of it.
"Xiao Chen, let's go with them too?" Anya and the others felt that this proposal was good, there were many people who entered the fog, it was a great force, and in this environment, it was indeed more secure for people to gather.
Xiao Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Whatever." โ
After a while, all the people who had entered the fog gathered together, and someone shouted, "Let's count the number first." โ
As soon as they were counted, there were thirty-one people in total, and thirty-one people entered the mist.
"Thirty-one, all of them are high-level mages, most of them are eight-star powerhouses, this power, what else is there to fear. "Everyone's hearts were relaxed, thirty-one people gathered together, there was really nothing to fear, almost all the existence below the mage level could be swept away.
Originally, these assessing people were all competitors, and there would never be so many people united, and this strange fog temporarily united everyone.
"I said, there are so many of us together, since we are acting in unison, we must always have a leader. An older, calm voice suggested.
"Leader?" everyone was silent.
Who can lead, can enter the inner courtyard, who is not the pride of heaven in a million, everyone is arrogant, how can it be led by a stranger.
"Whoever is the strongest, who leads, Tรกr, you are not the peak of eight stars, you are almost nine stars, it should be the strongest, let Tal lead. A voice said.
"Eight-star peak!" someone sneered: "Isn't eight-star peak amazing?"
"What do you say? The voice just now shouted, "Then what strength do you have?" โ
"Then let's come out to duel, you're not convinced!" someone yelled.
"Don't make noise!" several voices shouted.
A crowd of voices argued in a chaotic manner, and the proposed candidates were always refuted, and no one could convince the public.
"Xiao Chen, if you don't come, your strength is definitely qualified to lead, besides, I won't accept whoever leads here, you and I will be convinced, whoever is not convinced doesn't need you to take action, I will directly subdue him." Gulint came to Xiao Chen's side and whispered.
"Well, Xiao Chen comes out, it's best. Anya also said on the side.
"Not interested. Xiao Chen spit out three words indifferently.
Gulint and Anya were dumbfounded.
"Noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy, since no one is convinced, then don't waste time, just go, keep up. Glynt yelled frustratedly.
If you can't get a result, everyone can only give up.
A group of people, walking towards the depths of the fog.
The sound of trivial footsteps sounded in the depths of the mist, and the silence around made everyone's hearts a little nervous and depressed, no one spoke, just condensed the magic shield and followed the pace of the advance of the large army.
Xiao Chen walked at the front of the team, and at this time, everyone couldn't see the dazzling white light in his eyes, and his spiritual power was pushed to the limit, just enough to reach out two meters, enveloping the four or five people standing beside him.
The crowd walked for nearly half an hour, and still did not encounter any attacks.
The long walk also made the crowd a little relaxed.
"Could it be that this is also deliberately set up by the owner of the tomb to test his courage, or is it the group of old fellows from the academy who set it up here? Gullint guessed.
In the second round of assessment of the chain bridge just now, the college deliberately made the second section of the chain bridge without any danger to test the courage.
"I think it's probably so. Someone responded.
"Damn, I've been walking with the magic shield for a long time, and I've consumed a lot of mana, so I'll rest first and let me go in the middle. "Someone walked up to the middle of the line and removed the shield.
"Clay, be careful. โ
"What are you afraid of, I'm standing in the middle, even if the monster comes out, you're in the way. The mage, named Clay, scoffed.
His laughter was still in the air, and suddenly there was a "poof", and the sound stopped abruptly.
"Clay, Clay!" a shrill cry rang out sharply.
In the dead mist, it was particularly poignant.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" the original stagnant calm was broken, and the whole team was in chaos, and everyone held up their magic shields to the limit and yelled.
"Clay, Clay is dead. A voice trembled.
"Clay is dead?" Everyone's hearts froze, Clay was fine just now, why did he die suddenly, who killed him, why can't he hear a sound at all.
All kinds of questions came to mind, and everyone was extremely nervous and on guard.
"Everyone, don't mess around. A few calmer mages shouted.
"Whoever looks, how Clay died. โ
"This ghost fog, how do you look at it, you can't see it. "A group of people, it's a mess.
Gu Lin and the others were also a little anxious, and at this time, Xiao Chen's calm voice sounded: "Follow me to have a look." โ
"I couldn't see the corpse before, can you see it? Gullint asked.
"Go first, you can't see it, you can touch it. Xiao Chen was extremely calm.
He can actually perceive within two meters, but he is not prepared to speak out about this advantage.
He walked to the middle of the group, on the ground, there was a corpse lying on the ground, no one else could see it, but Xiao Chen could perceive it, it was a medium-sized corpse of a mage, with a hole in the back of the heart, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon.
"Shoot, quickly, kill instantly. Xiao Chen looked at the wounds of the corpse.
It is not difficult to kill such a mage in an instant, especially if there is no protection and the mage's perception is close to nothing.
But...... A thoughtful look appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Young Master, have you found anything?" Xue Wei asked beside her.
"It's not clear yet. Xiao Chen shook his head.
The chaos lasted for a while, and after all, all the people present were the elite of the academy, all of them had been born and died, and they all calmed down.
"Let's go, this time, everyone be careful, don't remove the magic shield. Someone shouted.
"Yes, let's go, don't waste time, this fog is too weird. โ
Everyone, this time, did not dare to relax, and all of them raised the magic shield to the limit, and the speed also advanced even faster.
But in this way, the consumption of mana is also extremely alarming, and after running rapidly for a while, some people can't hold on.
"I can't do it, I want to replenish my mana, who can help me protect it. Someone shouted.
"I'll do it. A voice rang out.
"Thank you. The man said gratefully.
A man came to him and spread the shield around him.
The moment he removed the shield, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but scream.
The screams suddenly made the team scramble again, and everyone's tense nerves finally broke out.
"Someone else died, and it was Ted. Someone shuddered and roared.
