Chapter 128: Mist
The sun rises and a new day begins. The sunlight shines on the earth, but it still cannot dispel the coldness around.
Ever since Xiao Yichen and Yun Mei completely eliminated the barriers between them, they spent all day together, and Xiao Zi was left to Liu Qingqing's care. At this moment, she was looking at Xiao Zi running around wildly with a deflated look on her face.
"Xiao Zi, I've told you several times not to pick up those weird-shaped rocks. Your bag is almost full of them. Brother...please take care of her."
However, the two people in front ignored Liu Qingqing's complaints along the way. It was the sweet period of reunion after a long separation, and both of them wished they could grow on each other.
Looking at the two people in front of her who were so affectionate with each other, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt that this was retribution. They were completely shooting themselves in the foot. Just when she was about to mutter a few words, her pocket suddenly felt heavy.
"Ah...Xiao Zi, what did you pick up and put in my bag again..."
The four of them chattered as they went deeper into this cold and evil land, but what they didn't notice was that the temperature around them was getting lower and lower, as if there was an iceberg in front of them.
After an unknown amount of time, a thin mist began to rise around them. At first, it was not a big deal, but as time passed, their vision became slightly obstructed. They then slowly stopped and observed the situation around them.
"Did anyone of you notice when we stepped into this fog?"
Hearing this, the three women shook their heads. Xiao Yichen carefully observed the fog and found nothing special. However, in such a place, the fog really made people feel a little uneasy.
"Yi Chen, have you discovered anything?" Yun Mei came up to him and asked softly.
For some reason, she felt her mood subtly depressed, but she didn't think much about it. The environment here really can easily affect one's mood.
Xiao Yichen shook his head and called Liu Qingqing and Xiao Zi over.
"From now on, the two of you should stop running around and don't get lost accidentally. Got it?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingqing curled her lips, but did not refute anything. To be honest, if there weren't so many people, she would not dare to enter this damn place.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xiao Yichen felt helpless. He rubbed her head, picked up Xiao Zi beside her, and the few of them continued to move forward.
As they went deeper, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and visibility had dropped to less than 20 meters. Now everyone could sense that something was wrong, and Xiao Yichen suddenly discovered that his insight skills could not break through the fog in front of him, and the range he could observe was only about 20 meters.
"Senior Sister, where exactly is this place?" Liu Qingqing moved a little closer to Yunmei with some fear.
At this moment, Yunmei's face was a little solemn. The fog didn't look unusual, but it gave her a very strange feeling, but she couldn't tell exactly where the strangeness lay.
"Yi Chen..." she called softly.
"Yes, but don't go too far. There might be something in the fog."
Xiao Yichen's brows were furrowed at this moment, and he was observing the situation around him vigilantly. Xiao Zi had been handed over to Yun Mei by him, so that he could protect the three women if there was any danger later.
The few of them continued to walk forward. Suddenly, Liu Qingqing took a deep breath, looked as if she had seen a ghost, and pointed in one direction with trembling hands.
"Strange...monster, there is a monster."
Xiao Yichen's alarm bells rang, and he quickly summoned several barriers around the three people. Then he looked in the direction of Liu Qingqing's finger, but when his eyes swept over, he found nothing, or... it was obscured by the fog.
"Brother, over there." At this time, Xiao Zi in his arms suddenly spoke.
Following her guidance, Xiao Yichen looked in that direction and saw several figures standing vaguely in the fog, moving in one direction, but their postures looked a little strange.
"Stay here and don't run around."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of those people, but the closer he got, the more nervous he became. The atmosphere around them was so weird, just like watching a horror movie.
When he got closer, he saw that the three men were each carrying a backpack and facing away from him. He was about to go forward to greet them, but was shocked by their strange body structure.
The three men all had tilted necks, one shoulder was raised, completely asymmetrical with the other, and their skin was full of wrinkles. They were obviously quite old, and their feet were bent like those of a centenarian. However, this did not affect their movements at all. Judging from their aura, there was nothing special about them. They were just a few ordinary mortals, but they gave people an indescribable sense of weirdness.
"Please stay." Xiao Yichen said.
When the people in front heard the sound, they stopped and turned to look at Xiao Yichen, but just this one look almost scared Xiao Yichen half to death.
The three men had dilated pupils, cracked lips, and their teeth seemed to be misplaced, moving around in their mouths.
Compared to Xiao Yichen's shock, the three people's reactions were even greater, as if they had really seen a ghost. They pointed at Xiao Yichen, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably, muttering something like "evil spirit", and then ran away in panic.
Looking at the people who ran away, Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, unable to tell who should be afraid. But he didn't think much about it and shot a trace of heavenly tribulation power into one of them. It did not cause any harm to him, but just made it easier to find their location later. This was a wonderful use he accidentally discovered when he was looking for Xiao Zi last time.
After returning to Yunmei and the other two, he told them what he had just seen.
Liu Qingqing held Yunmei's belly tightly, she still hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
"Is there anyone else who looks like this? Brother, please don't scare me on purpose."
Xiao Zi seemed to be indifferent. After all, she was a snake and could not tell what was ugly and what was beautiful among humans. In her eyes, they were all the same.
"Maybe these are the indigenous people of this place. After all, the environment they live in is different from ours, so it's normal to have some differences." Yun Mei analyzed with a frown.
Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement. It seemed that there was nothing strange about the three people just now except their appearance. Even the language they spoke was the same as theirs.
At this moment, the person he had marked just now had stopped, only a few hundred meters away from here.
"How about? Go and take a look?" Xiao Yichen asked.
Xiao Zi and Yun Mei had no objections, but Liu Qingqing was obviously frightened. Seeing her like this, Xiao Yichen took out the mysterious ore and covered the three of them with a layer of armor.
It’s not that he wanted to act brave in front of them, but the mysterious ore was really not enough. Fortunately, Liu Qingqing and Xiao Zi were both children, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to go around.
With the protection of the armor, Liu Qingqing felt much safer, but she still held Xiao Yichen's arm tightly, not letting go for a moment.
After making all the preparations, Xiao Yichen led them to the previous person's location.
When they were about to get closer, a wooden sign inserted into the ground suddenly appeared in the fog ahead. After carefully reading the words on it, Liu Qingqing felt her scalp tingling and she rushed directly into Xiao Yichen's arms, shaking uncontrollably all over.
Looking at the three words on the wood, Xiao Yichen frowned and murmured softly:
"Mistbone Village, this name is a bit unlucky."
