Chapter 18: Mutation
"One-eyed Mist Demon, how did Tiannan wake up the terrifying monster that Tiannan spent hundreds of lives to make him sleep thousands of years ago, and what did you do?" Zhong Bat saw the huge eyeballs, and his mouth made a sound similar to moaning, and after shaking his body, he grabbed one of the several immortal cultivators who had escaped from the sea of fog before, and asked viciously.
"I don't know, we just found a stone tablet not far away and pulled it out. ”
"The stone stele, is it the sealing stone that suppressed the fog demon? it should be buried deep underground, how could it come out of the ground?" Zhong Daotian's voice came from the side, and his expression was solemn.
"There is so much to be done now, we must disperse at once, so that most of us can save our lives. This fog demon is born with gravity powers, and once it gets close, it's too late to run. ”
"You're really unlucky, whether it's the Blood Sand Worm or the Mist Demon, I didn't encounter it the last time I entered the Nightmare Palace. It seems that the danger of opening the Nightmare Palace this time is very different from the previous ones. Zhong Ba's face turned pale, and he said without hesitation.
"Indeed, although this fog demon is terrifying, it can't hunt everyone down at the same time, let's go!" Zhong Jinlong glanced at the huge eyeballs coldly, and gestured to several descendants disciples around him, and rushed diagonally into the sea of fog next to him.
Zhong Daotian and Zhong Yiyun snorted, one smiled, and after a few shakes in their bodies, they also disappeared into the mist from different directions.
After Zhong Bat said a few words of "scatter and flee" to the other Zhong family disciples loudly, he raised his hand and took out a jade plate, crushed it, and turned into the same gray mist to wrap his body, and when the mist dispersed again, it had disappeared without a trace.
When the rest of the Zhong family saw this, they naturally knew how terrible the fog demon was, and they scattered in a hurry.
The huge giant eyes in the mist only turned a few times, and then stared at a few Zhong family disciples who had escaped, and with a turn of heavy footsteps, a vague black shadow like a hill appeared in the sea of fog, and strode in this direction.
......
Only ten miles away from the original location of the Zhong family's disciples, seven or eight immortal cultivators in blue robes were forming a circle, desperately resisting the blood-red beetles gushing out from all directions, these beetles were the size of fingers, or crawling along the ground, or spreading their wings and flying low, fierce and vicious, not afraid of death.
These immortal cultivators slashed wildly to the ground with various blades, and from time to time released all kinds of amazing spells, or turned into dense leprosy blades, or appeared a wall of fire, but they could not stop these beetles from approaching.
To their despair, the surrounding fog rustled incessantly, as if the blood-colored beetles were endless.
After a while, these immortal cultivators ran out of mana, ushered in a howl of despair, and were completely overwhelmed by the sea of blood-colored insects.
......
In another part of the sea of fog, more than a dozen men and women in different costumes were doing their own thing, some were talking and laughing in front of them, some were holding books and shaking their heads and reciting something, and some were sitting cross-legged on the ground, laughing for a while, and crying bitterly for a while.
But no matter who they are, their pupils are dilated, and there is a shallow weird smile on the corner of their mouth.
What's even more chilling is that at the edge of the fog next to it, there is a monster with a female head python body, staring at these people.
On the head of a woman who looked like she was in her thirties, the monster had a messy gray hair, a pair of upside-down golden pupils, and looked at more than a dozen immortal cultivators with a faint cold light, as if she was looking at some extremely delicious delicacy, half open her mouth, and from time to time there was disgusting green water flowing down.
......
Somewhere in the sea of fog, dozens of disciples of the Tang family were frantically attacking a huge lizard.
This lizard is seven or eight feet long, the whole body is gray, and under the swing of its huge head, it keeps spraying dark green poisonous gas, and from time to time someone withdraws from the attack with a black face.
And a little farther away from the battle group, Tang Hongling and another middle-aged man looked at all this coldly.
Tang Honglingdai's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but the middle-aged man's face was pale.
......
In a flash of cold light, under the combined attack of several golden-armored guards, several Changge slashed a monster that looked like mud into seven or eight pieces.
With a few "poofs", the monster corpse turned into several puffs of ash and spontaneously combusted, leaving only a few piles of black ash in place.
And so it was. Behind these armor soldiers, the brocade-clothed young man examined the black ashes on the ground, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
......
"Die all, it's all mine, it's all mine, the guy who steals is damned......" A blue-robed man with a bearded face walked slowly with straight eyes, muttering something in his mouth.
In the fog behind, I don't know when there were more than a dozen blurred black shadows, following the big man from afar, silent, but afraid to approach.
Zhong Shen strode forward, and a blue light disc beside him swirled and flew uncertainly, smashing several roe-deer-like monsters with long silver cockscombs that pounced around him.
With a "poof", when the last monster also turned into a little black qi and collapsed, Zhong Shen let out a long breath and stopped.
It had been more than two hours since he was separated from the rest of the Zhong family, and the monster that had been killed just now was also the third wave of attacks it had experienced.
However, he relied on a body of pure mana that far surpassed his peers, plus several offensive and defensive magic weapons, and he came all the way here.
But as long as he thought about it, he knew that the situation of the other Zhong family disciples was probably not good.
Zhong Shen shook his head when he thought of this, put away the flying sword, and took out a disc-shaped magic weapon from his arms, and after touching it with a finger, a burst of white light appeared.
I saw that in the disc that became white, a small red dot appeared at the edge, which was very eye-catching.
Zhong Shen was overjoyed when he saw this, which meant that he had reached the edge of the sea of fog, and he would soon be able to completely pass through the ghost gate.
He immediately cast another spell on the disc, and after redetermining the direction, he strode on with the incense in one hand.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the moment Zhong Shen rushed out of the sea of fog, he felt that the sky was spinning, and then a flower appeared in front of him, and a large green forest with no end in sight appeared in front of him.
Each of these trees is more than ten zhang high, and the branches and leaves are verdant and green, and they are unusually lush.
Zhong Shen looked up at the sky again, only to see that there were no clouds in the sky, and a red sun hung high in the sky, he muttered for a moment, and then turned his head to look in the direction from which he came.
I saw the gray mist rolling behind me, unfathomable, as if it could swallow everything.
Zhong Shen exhaled lightly, and then extinguished the incense candle in his hand in a flash, and glanced ahead again.
The record is correct, the Nightmare Palace looks like a palace on the outside, but in fact it is a huge and incomparably independent secret realm.
And the moment he passed through the sea of fog, he should have actually experienced a ban shift, and he was transferred out of the ghost gate, not that he really came out.
But what is this thing?
Zhong Shen looked closer to the front, and a strange look appeared on his face, only to see that in the large clearing in front of the forest, a huge stone statue six or seven zhang high was erected.
The statue is a long-sleeved man in a Confucian robe, with three strands of long hair, and the appearance of a fairy wind.
What made Zhong Shen care was that this Confucian-like sculpture man, holding a fist-sized crimson stone in one hand and a silver-white shield in the other, looked up at the sky, with a lonely look, lifelike.
According to the information related to the Nightmare Palace he obtained, it was never mentioned that such a statue would exist after the ghost gate was closed.
Zhong Shen suppressed the surprise in his heart, and his eyes swept left and right again.
It was empty, and he was the only one.
It's not surprising that there is no fixed exit from the Ghost Gate, as long as you pass through the sea of fog, you will officially enter the interior of the Nightmare Palace, and most of the other people who pass through will be randomly moved to another place the moment they rush out of the sea of fog.
