Chapter 404: Heavenly Mist
On this continent, there are many legends of ancient ruins. Legend has it that countless years ago, the ancestors launched a world-class war to destroy the artifact, and I don't know how many Spirit Emperors and even half-body level beings fell, because of the chaos of competition at that time, countless super-best magic weapons were scattered all over the place, and finally covered by earth-shaking rocks and buried forever in the ground. Among them, such as the legend of the underground treasure of the Mary Empire, it is said that it was a huge battlefield at that time.
In addition to the Mary Empire, there are many more, and as far as the empire's territory is concerned, there is only one Scorpion Empire. The rest of the place, vaguely speaking, belongs to borderless territory, and it can be said that anyone has the right to enter and explore it.
Of course, if the nearby empire is dry, ordinary people will not dare to advance rashly.
This time, Xia Jiang is going to go to a small kingdom called the country of Lu, because legends of ancient treasures are often spread here, but this is the opposite direction to Mary. That's why he wanted to explore this area first, and then return to the Alliance Empire once, and then go to the Mary Empire.
Sean and Lila naturally walked together, and now, the secret mercenary organization of the "Ant" mercenary group has spread in the mercenary world, everyone knows that there is such a powerful mercenary group on this continent, but no one knows where their base is.
It is also because of this that Xia Jiang and Sean are now quasi-members of the team, and they should be able to be promoted to full members by just meeting with Zhuge Ying, because, before that, they can at least find a treasure and dedicate it to the mercenary group.
Speaking of which, before leaving, Xia Jiang also had a big party with Xia Yun'er and everyone. Everyone who hasn't seen him for a long time misses him very much, especially Qingyi and Hua Xue, who are much better than Xia Yu and Xia Ziqi, at least once recently.
However, at this party, everyone seemed much quieter than before, and it seemed that because of their respective growth and life, everyone who knew more and more about Xia Jiang's talents began to realize that the opportunities and time to get together with him would only become less and less, so they were not in much of a happy mood. But in general, everyone also had a great meal, and they didn't let Tian Qingbai make a lot of effort.
Three days later, Xia Jiang said goodbye in the daytime, and at night, he quietly left, heading southeast.
In fact, along the way, Xia Jiang was still reminiscing about the reunion with everyone, but he was quickly diluted by another memory. Now that his cultivation is getting higher and higher, his memory is getting stronger and stronger, and he is even about to remember his childhood in his previous life. Obviously, this is not a good thing, it will make him sentimental and often distracted.
After a long period of mental adjustment, Xia Jiang fully recovered and began to focus on the treasure.
After half a day's time, they finally came to the Scorpion Empire, and they happened to encounter a once-in-a-century mountain fog. This fog is also known as "heavenly fog", which means that the divine beings of the heavens are looking for artifacts in the mountains and rivers of the earth, but in order to prevent mortals from discovering their mist, they rain down this fog that covers the sky.
What can be called a heavenly fog is naturally not an ordinary once-in-a-century encounter, at least, with Xia Jiang's powerful spiritual power to explore, it is almost impossible to move an inch - originally his spiritual power can explore a distance of about ten miles, but now he can't even feel it clearly from a distance of 100 meters, which shows the intensity of this fog, and not only that, but more importantly, it is said that once this kind of heavenly fog comes, at least half a month will not subside, and there will be all kinds of visions.
"Xia Jiang, do you think this could be an ambush shot by our enemy? It just so happened that we came to explore the treasure, and there was such a hundred-year-old fog, something strange!" Sean swooped into the fog, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and quickly retreated.
Xia Jiang carefully investigated the nature of the energy in the fog, and found that it was impossible for him to see through the most critical substance, which seemed to be a kind of spiritual power, which reduced the density of the fog countless times, making it difficult for people's spiritual power to extend.
"......" Xia Jiang didn't reply to Sean directly, but frowned slightly: "This heavenly fog seems to really have a trace of spirituality, it seems to be a vision caused by the divine existence of the heavens......"
When Lila on the side heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xia Jiang, and her eyes also showed surprise.
If you really want to talk about it, Lila's spiritual power is not much inferior to Xia Jiang, after all, she is a person who specializes in spiritual power exercises. It's just this one, she can only explore a distance of less than 100 meters, and then she can no longer move an inch, feeling trapped in the fog, and her soul will not return.
However, Sean listened to Xia Jiang's words, but said very skeptically: "No, Xia Jiang, do you also believe that there is a god of heaven?"
Xia Jiang naturally shook his head, but nodded again: "There are no absolutes in everything, even if this legend is a little too mysterious, but I would rather believe it!" Xia Jiang really didn't believe that this fog was the kind of god-like existence that was moving here, but the more clearly he detected the unknown substance in the fog, the more it made him feel that it was not simple.
"Let's go to the surface first, maybe someone nearby knows its secret?"
Saying that, Xia Jiang took the lead.
Descending from a high altitude, Xia Jiang continued to explore the fog, and soon, he found that the substances contained in the fog were decreasing, even weird.
"Hey, the intensity of this fog seems to be gradually weakening as it gets to the ground!" Sean also quickly noticed this, and couldn't help but say.
Xia Jiang nodded, and immediately Xia Jiang's speed became faster, and at the same time, his spiritual power was more concentrated to explore inside.
Now Xia Jiang's spiritual power can explore thousands of kilometers away.
As everyone descended on a high mountain, the fog could barely see what was inside.
Xia Jiang looked around and found that this place was indeed an endless mountain range, and some kingdoms, including the Scorpio Small Empire, were also in it.
"This is the famous Mist Mountains, and we're at its entrance now......" Sean stood on top of the mountain, looking behind him, and saw that there was almost no fog, which meant that where they were at the beginning of the fog.
"That's right, then let's start here and gradually explore to the Scorpion Empire!" The map that came to Xia Jiang's mind was obviously useless at this moment, because the ratio of the map was 100,000 to one, and with his current spiritual power from a distance of thousands of meters, it was better to explore on foot.
In Xia Jiang's instructions to Xia Jiang, everyone held their own magic weapons, and also urged various magic weapons to improve their perception. Among them, the most important thing is to perceive, so that you can find abnormal things in the first place.
As the three of them entered the fog, their vision became more and more blurred, not only did the sunlight barely shine in, but there was an unknown substance in it that seemed to interfere with the formation of the vision of the eyes, and the already vague scene of the guide zhì became even more blurred.
The Xiajiang Alliance began to enchant, and the effect of the power of the realm made everyone get his assistance, so that they could see normally and sense the material form within hundreds of meters normally.
The whole person entered a canyon, and Xia Jiang suddenly felt that in an extremely distant direction, there was a breath in the sky that was descending downward.
"Everyone be careful!" Xia Jiang immediately reminded the two.
Sean was stunned when he heard this, and immediately slowed down his pace, and explored his spirit somewhere, but in vain.
However, Lila's perception was very keen, and she quickly sensed that something was wrong, and there was obviously an unusual aura in the sky, about thousands of meters away from them.
Breath is different from energy fluctuations and mental power, which can be perceived in advance by people with keen perception, and once it is perceived, the spirit will involuntarily become alert. In contrast, Xia Jiang didn't even have Lila's potential in this area, but Xia Jiang was higher than her, so he could find out earlier.
Under the sensing of the abnormality, Xia Jiang was not afraid at all, and the whole person immediately accelerated towards the front to explore. Under the constant condensation of the fog, he kept leaping, and if it weren't for the fear that there would be any variables in the fog, he couldn't wait to sprint towards the sky at full speed.
Although there are even demigod-level celestials who are rumored to be active here, but it is just a legend, Xia Jiang will naturally not be frightened by this, and with his intuition, he feels that although the aura is powerful, it is not enough to threaten his life.
The two of them benefited from Xia Jiang's exploration in front, but they had some effort left, and they also accelerated to follow Xia Jiang closely.
In this mountain valley, the trajectory of the mountains is extremely irregular, sometimes extremely flat, sometimes twists and turns, and thousands of cliffs.
Xia Jiang entered it incognito, and the demonless state completely began, and began to transform the energy in it, so that the energy he burst out could perfectly pass through this fog. In this way, he will be able to understand the changes in the fog more clearly and clear the crisis in the first place.
Next, Xia Jiang's speed became faster and faster, and he was about to touch the birthplace of the aura, but as he gradually approached that area, the aura above became weaker and weaker.
"Huh--"
Xia Jiang couldn't help but feel at a rapid leap, because as he continued to accelerate forward, the speed at which his aura weakened was getting faster and faster, which was very strange.
Sean followed closely behind Xia Jiang, and he also began to go all out to sense, and now he has also sensed the existence of that breath, and he feels extremely powerful. After all, his and Lila's cultivation is not as good as Xia Jiang's, so the powerful Cheng Dù sensed is different, it is simply beyond the Spirit King level, terrifying!
"Xia Jiang, should we stop first, I feel that this is not something we can provoke!" Sean was a little worried.
In particular, Xia Jiang's current actions are a little too impulsive, as if he has discovered an abnormality and is constantly accelerating, which makes Sean feel that Xia Jiang may have been affected by that breath.
Well......
