The journey in the fog was much easier than Lu Qing imagined, perhaps thanks to the flamethrower in her hand. The originally extremely difficult black fog only needed to be burned with the flamethrower to dissipate.
Speaking of which, there was one thing she was actually curious about. In the tunnel filled with underground water, the Black Mist Headsplitter she encountered before had dropped items like Black Miasma after being killed.
However, although the mutated creatures encountered in the fog are also wrapped in black mist, they will not drop black miasma after killing them.
Lu Qing also speculated that it was because he used a flamethrower to burn away the black mist on their bodies, so he deliberately left a mutated hound for testing. The result was that no black miasma would appear after killing it.
But since she can't figure it out, she shouldn't do it. Anyway, it will always appear when it should appear. She already has one, so she doesn't have to get a second one.
On the third day after the three of them arrived in the fog, the fog in the air became thicker. According to speculation, they should have arrived at an area that not even the three of them could penetrate.
The fog here has a strong light-absorbing effect. Even during the day, it is almost like night here. As long as the distance between people is more than three meters, basically nothing can be seen.
In addition, when he woke up this morning, the scientist seemed to be mentally disturbed. He said that he seemed to hear some strange noises in the fog.
Lu Qing and the old man heard nothing, and could only warn the scientists that there was nothing in the fog, and continued on their way.
"strangeness."
After walking for about half a day, Lu Qing frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
For such a long time, according to past experience, there would be one or two mutated creatures attacking, but at this time, the surroundings were quiet.
It's not that she thinks there's anything wrong with not meeting monsters, it's just that things are different from what she imagined and she feels a little strange.
Of course, the failure to encounter mutated creatures is probably due to luck, but do they really have such good luck?
"Click..."
Some water appeared under her feet at some point and was flowing downwards along the soles of her feet.
Lu Qing didn't know where these water flows came from. He was clearly moving forward in a swamp filled with stagnant puddles before, but suddenly a shallow river appeared under his feet.
This couldn't help but make her feel something strange.
After telling the old man and the scientist about their thoughts and asking them to be careful, the three of them continued walking forward.
"..."
The dark wind sounded from nowhere, and it sounded like walking through a dark tunnel. The scene in Lu Qing's eyes suddenly turned dark, and then gradually recovered.
"here it is........"
She blinked her eyes, but in a daze, the scene before her eyes changed dramatically.
There was gurgling water in her ears, and in front of her eyes was a space wrapped in pitch-black mist. She could only see things within five meters in front of her, and things farther away seemed to be swallowed up by darkness. After looking at it for a long time, she felt a kind of psychological
discomfort.
Looking around him again, the old man and the scientist had disappeared at some point, and all he could see in front of him were pale white stones and dark linear river water.
Everything here looks like a child's random scribblings with crayons. The river water is divided into black and white, and the dark lines are wavy and rushing forward.
Lu Qing stepped on the "painted" river with her feet and took a deep breath.
"If I'm not crazy, there's only one explanation."
Lu Qing bent down and felt the flow of the river with her hands.
The cold river water passed through the gap between the palms, bringing a chill. Lu Qing took his hand out of the river water and could see some dark river water remaining on the palm.
A strange feeling came to her heart. She felt the mark from Qian Jue's Seal, as if they were in the same space.
"Anyway, let's go take a look first."
Touching the dagger at her waist, Lu Qing stepped on the river and walked in the direction she sensed.
"call......."
A strange cold wind passed through her body, making her shiver. The temperature here seemed to be very low, and she could see white mist emerging from the tip of her nose when she breathed.
After walking only a few steps, Lu Qing heard some voices that seemed to be far away from her. She could clearly hear them, but she couldn't hear clearly what the speakers were saying. She could only roughly feel the emotions in their voices.
.
"!!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of piercing the sky above her head. Lu Qing reacted in time and retreated backwards, and saw a Headsplitter hidden in the black mist.
The opponent didn't seem to be affected by the black mist and could move freely in the black mist. In comparison, Lu Qing, who could only see within five meters of himself, seemed a little anxious.
"snort."
His ears twitched slightly, and Lu Qing immediately judged the position of the head-splitter at this time.
Since acquiring the skill of Listener, her hearing has become very keen. The reason why she didn't find the Head Splitter just now was because it was crouching motionless above her head.
At this time, the sneak attack failed, and the head-splitter had to move its position, and had no choice but to be slaughtered by Lu Qing.
After spending a while to deal with the head-splitter, Lu Qing continued to move in the direction where the mark was felt, without going to get the materials from the head-splitter.
Along the way, she encountered several more Black Mist Headsplitters, but each time they appeared alone, so they did not pose much of a threat to her. When she arrived at the location of Qian Jue's Seal, she noticed something moving around her.
Neither.
She could only feel that the mark was nearby, but she didn't know where the specific location was.
Logically speaking, the target of the mark is the Head Splitter King. According to the habits of ordinary Head Splitters, there is no reason why this Head Splitter King should not attack her secretly after discovering her.
"So, where is it?"
He could only see objects within five meters, and his ears did not capture any sounds. After thinking about it, Lu Qing closed his eyes and actively used the skill [Listener.]
Controlling the nightmare energy in her body almost instinctively, Lu Qing suddenly had the illusion that her perception had been expanded countless times, but it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
Then, she heard a very subtle sound...
"Behind the back!"
Lu Qing opened her eyes suddenly and turned back without hesitation.
There was a flash of sword light, and a huge wound appeared on Lu Qing's abdomen.
"roar!"
The highly corrosive blood splashed onto the attacker's body, causing him to roar uncontrollably. After discovering that the attacker was behind him, Lu Qing immediately used the [Acid Blood] skill.
However, judging from the other party's performance, although it was quite painful, don't even think about how severe the injury was.
"hiss........"
Feeling the pain coming from her abdomen, Lu Qing resisted not covering the wound with her hands and used the [Emergency Recovery] skill.
A feeling that his physical strength was about to be drained instantly emerged. The huge wound that originally appeared on his abdomen healed quickly, but returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
ps: Let me explain here, the silver-gray evening breeze is worn with a windbreaker, so some places cannot be blocked.
