Chapter 1872: Chapter 89: Mysterious Black Fog (Part 1)
Mo Jiuli and Yun Xia had been traveling for almost ten days when they finally noticed something was wrong. They found a faint black fog surrounding them. Although it was still thin, it seemed to thicken the further they went. Even though the change wasn’t obvious, Mo Jiuli still felt it…
Moreover, the Demon Beasts around had vanished. Along the way, they had encountered many Demon Beasts, albeit of low levels, which Mo Jiuli had dealt with for food. But at least they had encountered quite a few…
“Master, something seems off!” Yun Xia said cautiously.
“Hmm, I see it too. Let’s be careful!” Mo Jiuli replied.
As Mo Jiuli had suspected, the further they walked, the thicker the black mist became, and the colder the aura. This coldness was different from the icy nature of Dark Attribute Spiritual Energy. Mo Jiuli sensed that the black fog seemed capable of eroding souls…
“Yun Xia, are you alright? Return to Space if you feel unwell!” Mo Jiuli looked at Yun Xia and said.
“Master, I’m fine. I’ve discovered that this black fog seems to devour soul power!” Yun Xia replied.
“Indeed, and we still don’t know what’s emitting such black fog!” Mo Jiuli said, frowning.
“Master, look ahead…” Yun Xia pointed forward.
Mo Jiuli saw several corpses lying ahead and quickly approached them, startled: “These are the Beast Tamers who entered with me!”
Mo Jiuli squatted down to examine the bodies, finding that their expressions were peaceful, as if merely asleep. There were no scars on their bodies, and they weren’t poisoned. Their deaths were even more bizarre because their souls were completely missing…
“Strange, how could their souls be extracted without them seeming to notice?” Mo Jiuli murmured, frowning.
“Were they poisoned?” Yun Xia asked, frowning.
“No, they’re not poisoned. There’s not even a sleeping drug in their bodies. It’s not poison!” Mo Jiuli said.
“Could they have fallen into an Array?” Yun Xia pondered.
Having been with Mo Jiuli for a long time, she knew more than the average beast.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli looked around and said, “There’s no trace of an Array; it shouldn’t be an Illusion Array!”
“Then what happened? Normally, if a soul is forcibly extracted, it’s extremely painful, yet their expressions are totally wrong!” Yun Xia said, looking at them.
“Let’s go ahead and take a look!” Mo Jiuli glanced around, and since no one was around, she said.
As they moved forward, the black fog thickened, the sky darkening, and the black fog became boundless, making it impossible to discern where the fog was absent or if they were heading in the right direction…
Along the way, Mo Jiuli encountered many more corpses, though none of Feng Xiaoyao’s. Some of these corpses were familiar Beast Tamers who had entered with her, while others were strangers, not part of their group, which puzzled Mo Jiuli even more…
Could it be that aside from Beast Tamers, others had entered here too?
At this moment, Feng Xiaoyao had also entered the black fog and soon after, coincidentally met Ma Tong, and the two walked together…
“Brother Feng, don’t you think this place is eerie?” Ma Tong asked, somewhat frightened.
