Chapter: Chapter 94
“Waaah, are these monsters unkillable?” Xia Hongying dodged an attack from a monster that looked like a praying mantis, like a little rabbit.
On the other side, Lu Siyu quickly unleashed a gust of wind to lop off the praying mantis monster’s head.
The beheaded monster immediately disintegrated into a mist and blended into the surroundings.
But neither Lu Siyu nor Xia Hongying felt any relief, as this scene had happened several times before. This praying mantis monster had been beheaded at least four times.
Every time it was the same, it would turn into mist and merge with the surroundings, and after a few minutes, a new praying mantis monster would reappear.
It was as if this kind of monster was immortal.
“The communication equipment is completely out of order. Not only can’t I contact the association, but I can’t even contact Huang Mao.” Lu Siyu listened to the busy signal in her ear, her expression grave.
Huang Mao had gotten separated from them when the monster first appeared. To avoid the monster’s attacks, they had fled into two different alleys.
Unfortunately, the monster seemed to prefer the two girls, and without hesitation, it chased towards Xia Hongying.
“If I can get out of here alive this time, I’m definitely going to report this to the commander properly,” Xia Hongying said through gritted teeth, covering her right eye.
“You still can’t see the future?”
“No, my eyes are truly blinded by the mist this time.” Xia Hongying shook her head. Her superpower, which had almost never failed, was completely ineffective in this mist.
The normally blurry river of fate was completely shrouded in mist, preventing Xia Hongying from obtaining any information.
“How did we get trapped here?” Xia Hongying was very confused. She only remembered receiving the association’s orders and chasing a few steps in the direction the mysterious person had left.
Then, they entered this strange place.
“I don’t know… Watch out, the monster is here again!” Lu Siyu stared at the monster that had reappeared, a sense of powerlessness gradually taking over her.
She was really getting annoyed facing monsters that revived again and again.
“No, it’s not just one!” Xia Hongying’s mouth twitched slightly. Lu Siyu could indeed deal with one monster easily, but now, four monsters had appeared behind them.
It was difficult for Lu Siyu alone to easily disperse these monsters while keeping Xia Hongying completely safe.
“Tsk, Xia Xia, grab my hand.” Lu Siyu also understood that a head-on confrontation was not a good option. Their retreat was now blocked by monsters, and their only way out was to move forward.
“Take it easy.” Xia Hongying’s face was a little bad. She had experienced being dragged around by Lu Siyu before.
If she had to compare the experience, it would be like riding a roller coaster while riding a drop tower.
In short, it was terrifying.
“It’s better than dying.” Lu Siyu took out a rope and tied her wrist and Xia Hongying’s wrist tightly together. Then, a cyan aura surrounded her, and in the next moment, the two girls disappeared from their original spot.
“Wow!!!”
The girls’ screams echoed through Mist City.
“These monsters seem to be controlling our direction of advance.” As they navigated through the alleys, Lu Siyu’s thoughts did not stop.
Whenever she passed an intersection, some monsters would suddenly appear and block certain paths, as if someone was deliberately guiding her somewhere.
“There’s nothing we can do about it, we can’t just force our way through,” Xia Hongying’s voice was scattered by the airflow as soon as it came out, but her meaning was still conveyed to Lu Siyu’s ears.
This chase lasted for nearly ten minutes. In these ten minutes, Lu Siyu didn’t know how many alleys she had run through or how many monsters she had encountered.
After rushing out of the mist-shrouded alley, she saw an ancient street.
It was a scene that only appeared in movies, because buildings like these had long been destroyed in the fires of war years ago.
“Oh my god…”
“What the hell is that…”
The two girls exclaimed at the same time.
What did they see? A flame giant dozens of meters tall, wielding a greatsword, smashing the monsters that were rushing towards it like a tide.
The monsters disintegrated into mist and reappeared after a few breaths. It was then that Lu Siyu understood that these monsters were far more troublesome than she had anticipated.
“Magic, this is definitely magic!” Xia Hongying was convinced that the giant was not a product of superpowers.
This meant that a demon, like them, was trapped in the mist.
“This magic is called ‘Giant that Burns the World,’ and it’s one of the highest-level fire element magic spells,” a clear and cute voice sounded from behind the two girls. “I’m surprised you two also came in.”
“Eh?!” Xia Hongying turned her head in surprise. She was too familiar with this voice.
“Good evening, Captain.” Leticia raised her left hand and waved at Xia Hongying. “I didn’t expect to see you in this situation.”
“You, what exactly is going on?” Xia Hongying looked at the familiar white robe on Leticia, and the thought that popped into her mind almost made her brain short-circuit.
Qianqian is a demon?!
And she was the one who beat me into the hospital last week?!
What in the world is going on?
“As you can see, I am a demon, and this is my biological sister,” Leticia said, pointing to Kira, to the two girls. “As for this place, it’s a divine artifact called ‘Mist City’.”
“‘Mist City’ is a divine artifact with no offensive capabilities. These monsters were created by the mastermind behind the scenes,” Kira added, introducing the current situation to her sister’s two friends. “It’s difficult to break through ‘Mist City’ by brute force, but we can go to the center of ‘Mist City,’ where there is a facility to temporarily shut down ‘Mist City’.”
“And the center of ‘Mist City’ is at the end of this street, that clock tower, which can be vaguely seen even in the mist.”
“Wait, wait, wait, let me sort this out first.” Xia Hongying quickly interjected. So much information was suddenly crammed into her brain that her mind was overloaded. “Let’s not talk about you being a demon for now, but you are a bad person, right?”
“No, I have always been a law-abiding citizen,” Leticia claimed she had never done anything illegal.
“You beat me into the hospital just last week!”
“I was just helping out. You have to ask the old men in your association for the specific reason.” Leticia stated that she didn’t hit people randomly; she had permission to hit them.
“Huh?”
“Alas, to put it simply, I’m actually your instructor, and I’m here for special training. As for that book, it was purely an accident,” Leticia explained.
