Chapter 110 Lake in the Mist

…

This is a foggy area. Even so, the clouds here are only as high as a person’s waist. The clouds floating close to the ground seem to be born out of thin air, and no one knows where they come from. The whole foggy area looks like a fairyland!

The sky above this endless foggy area was gloomy and dark, as if covered by dark clouds, making it look extremely depressing.

It was very quiet in the foggy area, so quiet that there wasn’t even a slight breeze.

“Gulp…Gulp…”

However, this silence did not last long as it was broken by a slightly strange low sound.

Following the sound, what caught my eye was a huge rock several meters in diameter, standing tall in the clouds ahead; and the relatively low and faint sound just now seemed to come from inside the rock, which was very strange.

The subtle “gurgling” sound continued, and vaguely seemed to come from the fog behind the boulder.

“Gulp…” Suddenly, the sound that was just low suddenly became rapid, giving people an unusual feeling.

“Huahua…” The sound of slight splashing water spread quietly. It turned out that there was a small lake under the clouds behind the huge rock.

And in such a fairyland-like foggy place, there is a small lake; although it breaks the tranquility of this dreamy foggy place, it also adds a bit of ethereal charm.

The water in the lake was churning as if it was boiling, but strangely, no hot air was coming out; of course, the “gurgling” sound did not come from this.

Lake in the fog, people in the lake!

On the clear surface of this small lake, a red shadow was floating at this moment.

Looking closely, the red shadow had messy black long hair, which was floating casually on the water; between the long hair and the water surface, a handsome face as pale as paper was faintly revealed.

His face was angular and his eyes were closed. Although his entire body was almost soaked in water, his lips were still a little chapped.

From this, it can be seen that the man in red must have been seriously injured, which led to his condition.

With every breath he took, dirty bubbles came out of his mouth and nose, followed by a series of “gurgling” sounds.

However, the figure at this time, although sucking water and spitting bubbles from his mouth and nose like a fish, did not look at his expression as if he was drowning or suffocating at all.

On the contrary, as these bubbles were exhaled, the complexion of the person floating on the water gradually eased, with a barely noticeable blush.

Looking at the bubbles he exhaled, they were crystal clear with a hint of turbidity and a hint of blood.

Apparently, as he breathed unconsciously like this, the injuries in his body gradually improved, and the stagnant qi and blood in his body were slowly discharged through the blisters.

The man in red who was in a coma and floating on the water was none other than Bu Gong, who had endured the attack of the red giant python with his back.

When Bu Gong was unconscious after that attack, he vaguely felt as if he had passed through a barrier.

But before he had time to think about it, he fell into a coma.

Looking at this foggy area now, it can be said to be a strange place; if Bu Gong wakes up, he will think that he has left the belly of the dragon python and is in the outside world.

In the small lake, the sound of bubbles on the surface of the water continued; and Bu Gong, who was floating on it and was unconscious, showed no signs of waking up.

Thus, time passes slowly…

At the same time, in the same space, in the dense forest on the foothills of an endless mountain, a chase with extremely murderous intent is taking place.

“Hehehe… Let’s see how long you can run. Since you have met us, it can only be considered bad luck for you two.” Suddenly, a sinister voice was heard in this dense forest, which was full of blood and cruelty.

“Hehe… It seems that Senior Brother Gong is lucky today. This time, he not only gets a corpse puppet, but also a corpse prostitute, and both of them have the cultivation level of Half-Step into the Yuan Realm.” Then, another slightly flattering voice echoed.

“Hmph, Lord Shizi asked us to search for the trace of the dragon python poisonous fetus, but we have found nothing in the past few months. We have even lost contact with each other. I didn’t expect to meet two disciples of Xianyang Sect today, hehe…”

The person who just spoke was the man who was previously called Senior Brother Gong.

I saw that Senior Brother Gong was quite tall, even a head taller than an ordinary person; he had a rough face and was dressed in a dark robe. His rough and slightly dark face was strangely pale and cold.

Behind him followed two young men dressed similarly.

However, judging by the way the three were dressed, they were obviously disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

At this moment, the three of them had excitement in their cold eyes. They stared at the woods ahead, their figures moving quickly as if they were chasing something.

A hundred feet ahead of the three men, two disheveled figures were fleeing rapidly; they were a man and a woman, and while fleeing, they would look back from time to time, their expressions showing no sign of concealing their panic.

Among them, on the left is a pretty woman in a green dress; she looks panicked at this moment, and her eyes are filled with deep worry.

Fleeing alongside the woman in green dress was a young man in a white robe.

The young man had a handsome face, a slightly wrinkled brow, and flickering eyes; but he intentionally or unintentionally held tightly to the hand of the woman beside him, and also fled forward at a rapid speed.

The two of them fled like this for about a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, the handsome young man in the white robe turned his head and glanced at the woman in the green skirt beside him. A strange glint flashed in his eyes. After a slight hesitation, he said:

“Junior Sister Liu, if it really doesn’t work, if they catch up, I can still hold them back for a while with my strength. During this time, if you run quickly, you should have a chance to escape their clutches.”

When the woman in the green dress, who was also moving very fast, heard the man next to her say this, she was slightly startled.

Then she turned her head and looked at the handsome young man beside her, with a look of obsession greater than ever before in her eyes.

At this moment, a hint of determination gradually emerged in the depths of the eyes of the woman called Junior Sister Liu; as if she had suddenly made some kind of decision, she just shook her head slightly.

“Brother Zhou, I won’t leave you alone and run away.” The plain and light words came out slowly from the woman’s mouth, but they contained a firmness that had never been there before.

However, when Senior Brother Zhou next to him heard this, a look of ecstasy suddenly flashed across the depths of his pupils, but no trace of it could be seen on his face.

Then the white-robed man called Senior Brother Zhou tightened his grip on the woman’s hand, as if to show his inner determination.

He just sighed lightly, his expression full of sadness, and said: “Junior Sister Liu, why are you doing this? You don’t have to accompany me like this.”

But in response to this, Junior Sister Liu beside him shook her head firmly and said, “Senior Brother Zhou, let’s try to escape first, as far as we can.”

However, he didn’t say the second half of the sentence in his heart: “Senior Brother Zhou, if that time really comes, I will let you live.”

However, what Junior Sister Liu didn’t notice was that as soon as she finished speaking, a hint of hidden gloom and dissatisfaction flashed across the face of Senior Brother Zhou beside her.

“Humph, if it’s not for you to be my cannon fodder willingly, do you think I would really do that?” He snorted in his heart, but on Brother Zhou’s face, the color of concern was even stronger.

“Hehehe… I just don’t believe you can run to the ends of the earth?” At this time, the sinister laughter behind the two of them was like a soul-stirring song, which made them continue to escape.

Although the two parties were chasing and fleeing, a discerning person could see that the distance between them was gradually increasing invisibly.

Obviously, the two people fleeing in front should be even faster.

This is not to say that the two of them have higher cultivation than the three behind them, but it is because of the magic weapon under the feet of Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Liu.

This was a light green gourd that was only big enough for two people to stand on. The mouth of the gourd faced forward, and tiny streams of green air slowly flowed out of it. Then they gradually rose and finally condensed into a light green light shield, completely covering the two of them.

His escape speed is no less than that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the first level of the Yuan Realm.

However, although they were very fast, they could not get rid of the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who were chasing them closely from behind.

No matter where they hide, the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect will come looking for them again within a day.

This made the two people who were fleeing feel extremely depressed.

However, six or seven days passed in a flash as the two sides chased and fled.

On this day, Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Liu, after a long escape, finally stopped again.

Because in front of the two of them was a boundless land of clouds and fog, where no life could be seen at a glance, not even a single weed could be found, only a few huge rocks standing tall.

This surprised the two people who had been fleeing for a long time; so when they saw the sudden fog area in front of them, they stopped temporarily.

At this moment, the man called Senior Brother Zhou looked at the foggy area in front of him with a shifting gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Junior Sister Liu standing by was also carefully examining the misty land.

The foggy area appeared very suddenly. The two of them had to run for six or seven days before they got out of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. As a result, as soon as they walked out of the dense forest, there was a foggy area in front of them.

After a moment’s silence, Junior Sister Liu bit her lower lip lightly, then turned to look at the man beside her and said, “Senior Brother Zhou, we have no choice but to enter the foggy area in front of us, otherwise there is no other way.”

When Senior Brother Zhou heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart: “If you had said earlier that you would stay behind to cover my retreat, why would you enter this foggy area that looks desolate and dead now?”

However, although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he forced a smile on his face, and his eyes were as gentle as water: “Junior Sister Liu, you go in, I will stay here and help you hold them back for a while.”

But as soon as the man finished speaking, Junior Sister Liu firmly refused: “No, there is no way I can leave Senior Brother Zhou alone and escape. I would rather die with you.”

Hearing the woman say this, Senior Brother Zhou’s eyes twitched slightly, and a cold light flashed in his slightly lowered eyes.

But on the surface, he pretended to be helpless and gave a bitter smile, saying: “In this case, I will accompany Junior Sister Liu to this foggy place.”

Although he said this, his eyes, which glanced at the dense forest behind him, still carried a hint of unknown meaning, as if he was waiting for something.

However, when he noticed the gaze of the woman next to him, the inexplicable look in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

“Junior Sister Liu, what do you think of this suddenly appeared foggy area?” At this time, Senior Brother Zhou stood still and asked the woman beside him with some inconsistency in his words and actions.

“Hmm?” When Sister Liu heard the man ask this, she was slightly stunned. She obviously didn’t expect what Brother Zhou meant by suddenly asking this.

At the moment when Junior Sister Liu was stunned, three dark figures suddenly appeared in the dense forest behind the two of them, followed by a sinister laugh:

“Hehehe… run, why don’t you run?” Among the three, the leader, a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect known as Senior Brother Gong, stared at the two people in front of him with gloomy eyes, anger rising in his heart.

The two sides chased each other for more than ten days. It was obvious that Senior Brother Gong was also very angry.

And at the moment when these three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect emerged from the dense forest, at the edge of the fog in front, Senior Brother Zhou, who was originally standing side by side with Junior Sister Liu, suddenly flashed and then slammed his palm on the shoulder of the defenseless Junior Sister Liu.

At the same time, he immediately flew backward, and as he flew backward, he did not forget to forcibly pull the storage bag from the waist of the woman who was about to be knocked away by him.

Looking at Junior Sister Liu, who was hit by his palm towards the three people from the Corpse Puppet Sect, a hint of luck flashed in his eyes.

“Hehe… Now that things have come to this, as your senior brother, I’d like to ask Junior Sister Liu to sacrifice for me, hahahaha…”

A wild laugh filled with joy and relief quickly faded away, and the figure of Senior Brother Zhou completely disappeared into the endless clouds and mist ahead.

On the other hand, at this moment, Junior Sister Liu, who was knocked away by a palm, looked at the foggy area in front of her with a completely dull look, her eyes full of disbelief and gloom.

She never dreamed that Senior Brother Zhou, whom she had always been obsessed with and admired, would abandon her at this time, and abandon her without any regrets.
