Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 193: Fog Bug
At this moment, Xu Shen could no longer see the outline of the room. He was surrounded by thick fog, as if he had entered another world.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and he could feel a very low sound coming from the depths of the thick fog, like the whisper of some familiar voice, like "Mom" whispering, or like Maeve's voice.
Xu Shen thought about what the old man in tuxedo said. In addition to the golden apples, there were many other temptations and dangers in the thick fog.
As for those with psychic abilities, although they can quickly enter the second stage "Adventurer" in the early stage, they will be stuck in the third stage "Mistman".
These temptations and whispers may be one of the reasons for staying.
only.
Xu Shen felt that the reason he might not be a person with psychic abilities was that he could clearly know that these calls were false and that "Mom" was always by his side, not far away.
As for Maeve...even if he heard her whispers, Xu Shen could only pretend not to hear them.
Maeve is too well behaved to be upset by this…
Xu Shen felt like "himself" was walking in thick fog. The cold fog gradually froze his body. Although his movements became slow, he did not feel the cold as strongly anymore.
In the white fog, it was like a vast ocean, with no end in sight and no direction to be seen. Only the vague outlines of buildings were left around, and the only thing that could be identified was Xu Shen's location.
Xu Shen saw his physical body, staying in the same place in the room, motionless.
Outside the room, the fog grew thicker.
Xu Shen flew out of the room as light as a balloon, floating in the thick fog. The corrosive force in the fog was like some kind of electric current, rushing past, making Xu Shen feel a chill all over his body.
"Golden Apple..."
Xu Shen looked around in the thick fog but didn't see anything. It was extremely difficult to find a golden apple. Perhaps this area had already been explored by someone.
Xu Shen tried to keep walking forward. Slowly, he felt the invading force of the thick fog gradually increased, and the coldness became deeper. He stopped at the edge of the community. Suddenly, a low hissing sound came from the fog.
Xu Shen's heart shuddered. This voice was completely different from the faint whisper. It gradually became heavier and was extremely clear, just like... something with many legs was crawling towards him.
Xu Shen immediately thought of the danger that the old man in tuxedo mentioned. His face changed slightly, and he slowly stepped back, staring at the place where the voice came from.
Soon, a strange black centipede-like insect crawled out of the thick fog.
This strange insect has sharp fangs and purple lines on its body, like some kind of symbols branded by electric current.
When Xu Shen saw the strange insect, the strange insect also saw Xu Shen and immediately flew over with a hissing sound.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and he quickly turned around and ran back towards the room.
But this strange insect was extremely fast and soon caught up with Xu Shen.
Xu Shen wanted to draw his sword, but when he touched his back he realized that he was now in the body of that "brother".
And this "brother" was unarmed and had only his bare hands.
Xu Shen rolled on the ground to dodge, then turned around and punched the strange insect on its abdominal shell. The heavy but dull shell made Xu Shen feel like he was punching a wall, but unexpectedly, the force of this punch seemed to be quite strong, and the body of the strange insect was overturned.
Upon seeing this, Xu Shen rushed over to him and instinctively gathered his energy in his eyes. However, as soon as he did so, he realized that he was now a spiritual body and had no energy to provide.
However, an accident happened again. In Xu Shen's eyes, the strange insect began to change, and black whirlpools emerged in some gaps in its shell.
It's a weakness!
Xu Shen was a little surprised. Without time to think, he hurriedly stabbed towards a black vortex in front of him with his hand knife.
With a "puff" sound, his palm pierced through the vortex. The soft and sticky touch spread on his palm. He tore it hard, and then used his palm to tear towards other vortices.
The strange insect howled miserably, and soon its body was torn into pieces by Xu Shen.
No blood spurted out of the strange insect's body, only soft white mist.
The thick fog has a texture, is as soft as cotton, and can be squeezed and compressed into a small ball.
Looking at the thick fog in his hand, an idea suddenly came to Xu Shen's mind.
Is this thing...similar to the Ruins?
That might be delicious?
When the strange insect stopped struggling, Xu Shen tore open its body, pondered for a moment, tore out a ball of white mist, stuffed it into his mouth, and slowly ate it.
There is no need to chew. The thick fog enters the mouth and melts quickly like cotton meeting water. It flows into the body like clear spring water. Xu Shen suddenly feels a chill in his body.
But this chill soon transformed into heat, and his body seemed to have warmed up a lot. Even the chill brought by the thick fog outside seemed to have weakened.
Xu Shen quickly dug out some more thick fog and ate it.
Except for the thick fog in the abdomen of the strange insect, there is no fog in its other limbs and skull, only a very small amount of fog.
These mist filaments gradually dissipated when they were broken away from the limbs.
Xu Shen felt warm all over and couldn't help but sigh, it's true that people will feel warm when they are full.
At this time, Xu Shen saw the thick fog around him winding around the empty shell of the strange insect and filling it. Soon, the shell of the strange insect gradually became brittle under the thick fog, and then shattered and separated . The fog was like an invisible monster mouth with fangs exposed, gradually decomposing and swallowing the body of the strange insect.
Soon, the body of the strange insect disappeared completely.
This scene also made Xu Shen feel a little chilled.
No one knows what this strange insect is. It is not a ghost. It lives in the thick fog, but is swallowed by the fog.
Xu Shen stayed there for a moment and then continued to move forward.
After walking for a distance, Xu Shen felt a tearing sensation coming from his brain, as if something invisible was tied to the nerves deep in his skull, and at this moment the invisible rope was stretched taut and straightened.
Xu Shen looked back and found that he was very far away from where his body was, so far that he could not see it.
Xu Shen didn't dare to move forward any further, but slowly retreated.
On the way back, Xu Shen measured and calculated the distance step by step.
When he returned to the body in the empty room, Xu Shen saw that the distance was about 328 meters.
He cannot move away from himself more than this diameter.
Xu Shen did not return to his physical body, but wandered outside the room.
Even though he didn't find the golden apple, just being in the thick fog could slowly improve his mental strength.
The thick fog invades all the time, which is equivalent to a tempering of mental strength.
Xu Shen looked at his body, and when his thoughts were focused on his body, Xu Shen suddenly felt the chill subside and became blurry.
When he opened his eyes, Xu Shen immediately saw the clear room and the blurry "brother" beside him.
At this moment, the latter was in thick fog, his body was surrounded and covered by the fog, as if countless moth-like reptiles were surrounding and biting him.
"If you are tired, come back." Xu Shen said to this "brother".
After all, they were already living together, and he considered the latter his friend.
When this "brother" heard Xu Shen's words, he nodded slightly and seemed to grin.
Seeing this, Xu Shen didn't say anything more. He drew his sword and started practicing.
"If the sword speed can be stacked..."
Xu Shen drew his sword and slashed again and again.
Originally, each swing required recharging of energy, but now Xu Shen was practicing continuous sword-drawing and extreme swings.
He swung with all his strength again and again, the sword flashing as fast as an afterimage.
Xu Shen tried to keep using the next sword to catch up with the previous sword and shorten the distance.
But this distance is like that between a bird and a fish. The fish needs to fight hard to barely touch the tip of the bird's claws.
Late at night, in this deserted house, Xu Shen practiced hard alone.
Two hours later, the "brother" seemed to be tired, and his whole body was covered with thick fog, like thick snow that could not be dispelled and could only retreat back into Xu Shen's body.
Xu Shen could also understand, he knew the other party had tried his best.
After all, he was already feeling exhausted from the continuous sword-swinging exercises and had to rest several times.
Xu Shen didn't stay any longer and turned back to the city of Heiguang.
After resting until early morning, Xu Shen was awakened by the sound of the communicator. When he opened it, he saw that it was a summons from Li Meina, saying that Director Liu wanted to see him about something.
