古墓？ Lost squad in the thick fog? Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to look at the living room and lowered his voice:

"The ancient tomb in Jinhui City where the bronze sculpture was unearthed?"

"You know?" Fu Qingyang asked back.

"I saw it on the news last night." Zhang Yuanqing briefly explained and said:

"I've already seen the news this morning. The fog was released by the Lord of Fog, right? Are there evil professionals trying to snatch the bronze sculpture?"

As he spoke, he had already opened the closet and instructed Blood Rose to climb out of the bedroom window, using the air conditioner's outdoor unit, and climb into the window of the outer corridor.

His grandparents were at home, so it wasn't convenient for Blood Rose to go out in a grand manner.

"No, according to current intelligence, the source of the fog is that bronze sculpture."

Fu Qingyang's answer stunned Zhang Yuanqing, and his steps towards the door stopped. "The source is the bronze sculpture?!"

Fu Qingyang's explanation came from the loudspeaker:

"The bronze sculpture that the archaeological team unearthed from the ancient tomb is strange. On the day it arrived at the museum, the archaeological team and museum staff went missing.

"After the security officers arrived at the scene, they found that the museum was shrouded in thick fog. They sent three security officers into the museum to search for the missing personnel, but the three security officers also lost contact.

"The security officers outside sent the news back to the Security Bureau, and three minutes later, they also lost contact. They were swallowed by the thick fog that emanated from the museum.

"That night, a stationed Deacon in Jinhui City led a team deep into the fog to investigate, and then lost contact. By this morning, the fog had spread out of the museum, forming a thick fog covering an area of a dozen miles.

"Ordinary people trapped in the fog for a long time have drastically changed their temperament and attack people on sight. Those who have just entered the fog are like headless flies, unable to find a way out. After a long time, their temperament also changes drastically.

"The official members of Jinhui City reported this matter to the Hangzhou Branch. The Hangzhou Branch immediately organized manpower to go to Jinhui City. As of now, the matter has not been effectively controlled and resolved. The Hangzhou Branch has just called the Songhai Branch, hoping that the Songhai patrol team can cooperate in the investigation."

Fu Qingyang's voice was articulate, like a news broadcaster.

Thick fog, bronze sculpture, it should be a Lord of Fog-level item. Strange, the bronze sculpture was unearthed from an ancient tomb. Its owner should have died long ago. Why wasn't the item recovered by The Way of the Extraordinary? No, to be precise, why wasn't the ancient tomb taken away by The Way of the Extraordinary?

A doubt flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind, and he hissed:

"If the thick fog is allowed to spread, wouldn't it affect the entire Jinhui City? Also, boss, how can there be ancient tombs related to The Way of the Extraordinary in the real world?"

Lao Bangzi's Three Taoist Mountain Goddess Temple also exists in reality, but was later "swallowed" by The Way of the Extraordinary and became a dungeon.

"This is what you need to investigate. Yuanshi, you represent the Songhai Branch patrol team to go to Jinhui City, and contact me at any time if you have any problems," Fu Qingyang said.

It would be good if you went yourself. I have to go shopping with my aunt today. While complaining, Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Understood!"

After all, what's the point of having so many Deacons and Captains if the Elder has to come forward for everything.

The Elder of the Hangzhou Branch didn't take action, indicating that the situation hasn't reached the "Sovereign level."

Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone and immediately received a location from Fu Qingyang, with a sentence attached:

"The assembly point for all teams in this operation."

He clicked on the location map. The address was a hotel in Jinhui City, more than thirty kilometers away from the museum.

Putting away his phone, Zhang Yuanqing knocked on his aunt's door.

"Oh, not ready yet!"

His aunt's soft voice came from the bedroom.

"I'm not going shopping..."

As soon as Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, the bedroom door opened, and his aunt, with light makeup, stood coldly at the door, staring at him, and said coldly:

"Give me a reason I can't refuse."

Without saying a word, Zhang Yuanqing dragged his aunt into the room, and his aunt threw off his hand in a fit of pique.

"I just received a mission from the headquarters of the China Dragon Team. I have to go to Jinhui City. There are evil villains causing trouble there, and I, the treasure of Songhai, need to solve it." Zhang Yuanqing said with an extremely serious expression.

He knew that his aunt was very interested in The Way of the Extraordinary. She always inquired about this and that. Zhang Yuanqing casually perfunctorily said that he solved Doctor Octopus last year, and this year's five million performance was contributed by a freak on a flying skateboard.

Jiang Yuer was skeptical about this, always feeling that these villains had a strong sense of deja vu, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

Hearing this, his aunt asked suspiciously:

"China Dragon Team? Didn't you say it was the Superpower Special Forces before?"

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, thinking, did I say it was the Special Forces before?

"...The Superpower Special Forces belongs to the Dragon Team." He forcibly arranged a subordinate relationship between the Special Forces and the Dragon Team.

"If you don't believe me, you can watch the news. This matter is on the news."

Hearing this, his aunt ran out with a thud, and sure enough, she saw her elderly father watching the relevant news about Jinhui City.

"Okay, anyway, shopping can be done anytime." The naive aunt immediately believed it, and instructed: "Be careful, will you be back at night? If you don't come back, remember to call me."

"Got it!"

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and quickly went out.

Jinhui City, Lihao Hotel, 28th floor conference room.

The Deacon in charge of this operation is called "Xia Shuzhi Lian", a thirty-something, cold and intelligent woman.

This Swordsman was wearing military boots, military pants, and a military green vest, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, silently looking at the distant thick fog. Under the scorching sun, the gray-white fog was like solidified, lingering between the tall buildings.

The major streets leading to this area were blocked by traffic police with roadblocks, only allowing people to leave but not enter.

The situation has temporarily stabilized, but the situation is still severe. The thick fog is spreading at a slow and steady pace, and in at most two days, it will cover the entire Jinhui City.

At that time, the number of innocent people affected will be unimaginable.

Of course, they will definitely raise the event level to Sovereign level before that step and ask the Elders of the Hangzhou Branch to take action, but this would make the Sages of Hangzhou seem incompetent.

yawenba.

Xia Shuzhi Lian turned around and looked at the Deacons and Captains in front of the conference table, and said slowly:

"The team led by Deacon Yunmeng has also lost contact. Everyone, I would like to hear your opinions."

Just ten minutes ago, a team led by a Deacon went deep into the thick fog to investigate, and then lost contact.

At the conference table, there were sixteen official members, including three Deacons and thirteen Captains.

They are the Fire Master profession's "Fire Saint", the Wood Fairy profession's "Huayu", the Earth Monster profession's "Houde Zaiwu", plus "Xia Shuzhi Lian" and "Yunmeng" who is lost in the thick fog. All the Sages who could come from the Hangzhou Branch have been dispatched.

Other Sages did not participate in the operation due to work reasons or holidays. In addition, theoretically speaking, if six Sages can't handle it, then it will be useless for other Sages to come, and the Elder has to be invited.

As the other two Sages frowned, the Fire Saint said bluntly:

"My suggestion is that we each lead a team, kill into the thick fog, kill gods when we meet gods, and kill Buddhas when we meet Buddhas."

This Saint is a full 1.9 meters tall, with a crew cut, wearing a black vest, his strong muscles supporting the vest, and his biceps are as thick as a woman's thin waist.

A very standard Fire Master answer, none of the four Saints present paid attention to him.

The Captains watched their noses and hearts, remaining silent.

After a few seconds, Deacon Huayu, wearing a pleated dress, said in an ethereal voice:

"The bewitching fog of the Bewitching Demon will make those who are trapped in it lose their way. Yunmeng is a level 4 Saint, and even she has been tricked, so the level corresponding to the source of the fog is at least level 5.

"We need items that can distinguish direction in the thick fog."

The bewitching fog of the Bewitching Demon has a strong bewitching power, which cannot be handled by conventional items such as compasses.

Deacon "Houde Zaiwu" shook his head and said:

"We need a Star Official to help, but there are too few Star Officials, and they are all in Beijing. What are stationed in the major branches are Night Roamers."

Distinguishing direction is the basic ability of Star Officials who control Astrology.

The Fire Saint said displeased:

"Why so much nonsense, we still have to bite the bullet and go in. The longer we are trapped in the thick fog, the easier it is to go crazy. It's okay for the citizens to go crazy. If the Way of the Extraordinary team from last night goes crazy, I don't know how many innocent people will be killed.

"Now, people are being injured and dying in the thick fog all the time. The longer it drags on, the more serious the situation becomes. Who will bear this responsibility?"

Deacon Huayu snorted lightly: "Can entering the thick fog solve it? What if everyone is trapped inside, wouldn't the situation be even more serious."

The Fire Saint said: "If we are all trapped inside, the Elder will take action, and the matter will be resolved."

Deacon Huayu retorted:

"Then just report to the branch and ask the Elders to take action."

"This will only prove our incompetence!" Xia Shuzhi Lian waved his hand, interrupting the two's argument.

After pondering for a few seconds, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at the assistant and said:

"Has the people from the Songhai Branch arrived? Call and contact them."

Hearing this, the assistant immediately dialed the "customer service hotline" of the Songhai Branch. After more than ten seconds, she hung up the phone and said:

"They said that they are only responsible for transmitting messages. They don't know the specific situation of the patrol team. We can only wait."

The operator is only responsible for transmitting messages and is not qualified to talk to the Deacons or Elder-level figures of the patrol team.

"Even if we want to go deep into the thick fog, we have to wait for the patrol team from Songhai to arrive before taking collective action!" Deacon Huayu took a sip of tea and asked curiously:

"I wonder who the Songhai Branch will send to support us."

As a super first-tier city, Songhai is full of experts, and the patrol team is the elite among the elite. The minimum level for a Captain is level 4 Saint.

Moreover, the Songhai Branch ranks in the top five among all branches, with abundant item reserves.

The Deacons of the Songhai Patrol Team are different from the Deacons in other places.

Xia Shuzhi Lian thought for a while and said:

"I know a few patrol Captains from the Songhai Branch. If any of them come, it is indeed possible to forcibly enter the thick fog."

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and an extraordinarily ordinary member in formal attire led a group of people in.

The official members at the conference table looked sideways. The leader was a young man in his early twenties, handsome and sunny, but lacking some maturity.

Behind him were four women with stunning appearances, a mature and bright elder sister, a youthful and energetic girl, and a flamboyant red-haired little girl.

"Yuanshi Tianzun?!"

Xia Shuzhi Lian raised her eyebrows, somewhat stunned.

She didn't expect that the helper sent by Songhai was actually a popular fried chicken from the Five Elements Alliance.

Did he enter the patrol team after clearing the Killing Dungeon?

Deacon Huayu scrutinized the young man with a hint of curiosity.

The official members at the conference table made a slight commotion, either surprised or excited. This is the special treatment of celebrity figures, regardless of strength or level.

The Fire Saint frowned.

As the person in charge of the action, Xia Shuzhi Lian greeted him and extended her hand, saying:

"I am the person in charge of this operation, Xia Shuzhi Lian."

“Yuanshi Tianzun!” Zhang Yuanqing shook hands and smiled:

"Xia Shuzhi Lian... I watched this reasoning when I was in junior high school. The heroine's reasoning talent made me very appreciate it, and I longed to have such a female assistant in the future. Unfortunately, my assistant is a man."

Xia Shuzhi Lian is a niche reasoning, a work by a island country female writer.

Zhang Yuanqing was obsessed with reasoning when he was in junior high school, so he read this not-so-well-known work, and he liked the individual and flamboyant heroine in this book very much. He often lamented that if Bingge was a girl with reasoning talent, it would be great.

Whenever he said that, Bingge would punch him.

Xia Shuzhi Lian was stunned for a moment, the smile on the corner of her mouth widened, and her tone became gentler:

"It seems we have a common hobby, please sit down, I will tell you about the current situation"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun is very famous and is regarded as an idol by many official members, jokingly called Tianzun Grandpa, he is still just a junior in the eyes of the Deacons.

The Deacons will look at him differently because of his fame, but they are definitely not respectful or worshipful.

No one will worship someone who is weaker than themselves.

Yuanshi Tianzun is, after all, just a genius who has just been promoted to Saint, and his experience value will not exceed 5%.

Seeing that the supporter was Yuanshi Tianzun, Xia Shuzhi Lian was disappointed in her heart, but Yuanshi Tianzun's words made her feel that she had found a book friend, and she felt close.

After Xia Shuzhi Lian finished speaking, she said:

"We plan to enter the thick fog collectively and deal with the bronze sculpture. We are waiting for you."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned and said:

"Deacon Xia Shuzhi, you just said that a Deacon has lost contact in the thick fog, which means that you have no way to distinguish direction, right?"

Before Xia Shuzhi Lian could speak, Huayu said helplessly:

"Yes, so entering the thick fog collectively is also a last resort. We dare not say that we can definitely find the museum, but at least there will not be too much danger.

"According to our observation, the thick fog will make people lose their way and gradually go crazy, but there are no terrible enemies. If we lose contact with the outside world, the remaining team members will send the news back to the branch and ask the Elder to take action."

The most effective way to restrain the thick fog is the ability of the Rain Master to call the wind and summon the rain, but this belongs to the power of the Sovereign.

The thick fog has covered an area of more than ten kilometers. Qianye Liang's method is useless. Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

The Fire Saint glanced at him and said:

"You are a level 4 Star Official, and you don't even know Astrology. I thought the Songhai Branch would send a level 5 or even a level 6 Saint to help. As a result, it only added a level 4 combat power, which is useless."

If you weren't a Fire Master, I would have thought you were provoking me. Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Since the Songhai Branch sent me here, it is naturally prepared. I have items that can distinguish direction, so there is no need to worry about that."

The two Deacons, Xia Shuzhi Lian and Huayu, had their eyes light up.

The Fire Saint was stunned for a moment and said with surprise:

"That's great, there is no time to delay, let's act immediately."
