Humanoid Eerie Monsters, the Great Wilderness

Magic City

The gloomy, overcast sky foreshadowed an impending drizzle.

In an old courtyard, Sword Elder and Dean Gu stood under the eaves.

Dean Gu held a bright red apple and spoke.

"Do you think the arrival of this chaotic era will completely cleanse the world?"

"Great chaos is about to break out."

The Sword Elder gripped his cane without speaking, but his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through everything.

He murmured, "A chaotic world... What is a chaotic world? In the eyes of a swordsman, everything can be cut down, but the beginning of all this signifies destiny."

The two remained silent. Perhaps at their level, they had already figured out each other's thoughts and didn't need to talk anymore.

Just then, a meteor-like object streaked across the sky and landed in the courtyard.

It turned out to be a mechanical origami crane, its wings still flapping.

Dean Gu's expression changed slightly.

In an instant, he picked up the origami crane that had drifted over, and a fragmented projection appeared, carrying a sound.

In the projection, Yu Qingnian was standing at a place that was about to reach the clouds. Dean Gu naturally guessed where this place was at a glance.

"The Ruined Pass..."

"But where did that kid go? Shouldn't he be in Canglan?"

The Sword Elder also came over.

Although Dean Gu was somewhat puzzled, Yu Qingnian, who was projecting the image, spoke up at that moment.

The camera focused on the Black Mist, where countless Eerie Monsters were attacking.

"Eerie Tide? Do you need to report such a trivial matter?"

However, Dean Gu noticed something unusual at this moment. Several human figures began to appear in the Black Mist, and these figures did not move. Instead, they watched quietly not far from the pass without making any move.

That's why Dean Gu felt horrified.

Could humans still be living within the Black Mist?

Sixteen years have passed since the Black Mist descended. Regardless of the circumstances, the Great Xia is the only country in the world that has not been corrupted since the Black Mist descended.

Although even these powerful figures didn't understand why the Black Mist didn't enter Great Xia, but was instead blocked by an unknown force, it was precisely because of this that Great Xia survived.

At least it wasn't polluted and eroded by the Black Mist like those other countries.

Even now, with this projection, Dean Gu felt a chill.

Humans are still alive within the Black Mist?

Although it was unclear how those humans appeared at the Ruined Pass, everything was clear in the projection: the Eerie Monsters did not attack the human figures, but instead bypassed them.

So, are they human or monsters?

A fleeting thought caused Dean Gu to lose his composure.

Yu Qingnian's voice also came over.

"I'm sure you, Dean Gu, will be quite surprised to see this projection, but based on my and Gu Cheng's observations, those humanoid figures seem rather Eerie Monsters."

"But unlike the Eerie Monsters, they seem to possess intelligence."

"And the Eerie Tide that the Ruined Pass is currently experiencing seems to be manipulated by those intelligent Eerie Monsters."

"However, the Ruined Pass can still be easily withstood now."

"It is I, Gu Cheng, who would like to ask you for a few days off."

Dean Gu listened attentively at first, until later when dark lines appeared on his forehead.

The fighting is still going on at this critical juncture, so what's the deal with this leave request?

Even if it's a holiday, we should wait until the Eerie Tide passes first, right?

However, he only pondered the question for a few seconds, the words Yu Qingnian had just spoken flashing through his mind.

Is intelligence Eerie Monsters?

Are these humanoid Eerie Monsters a sign of evolution?

The Eerie Monsters are also beginning to evolve like humans, even faster. Perhaps it won't be long before a group of humanoid Eerie Monsters with the ability to speak will emerge from the Black Mist outside?

Dean Gu gripped the apple in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then turned off the video.

He then opened the origami crane and spoke into a small voice recorder inside.

Only the Sword Elder standing to the side heard it, his eyes showing some surprise, but he quickly calmed down.

The Ruined Pass.

Directly above, Yu Qingnian looked solemnly into the depths of the Black Mist, where countless Eerie Monsters flying figures were falling everywhere.

He turned to look at the Gu Cheng to the side, holding a giant RPG, and spoke.

"Those humanoid Eerie Monsters didn't seem to move at all, so how did they control Eerie Monsters?"

"Could it be brainwaves? Mental power?"

Gu Cheng wasn't sure either, but his expression didn't seem to change much, because he knew there was something even more perverted than those humanoid Eerie Monsters.

That was "Li Chen". After so many days, he knew that the current Li Chen might be a real humanoid Eerie Monsters, but Li Chen was not Eerie Monsters, but he possessed a terrifying physical body like Eerie Monsters.

He was still conscious, just like a normal person.

In comparison, those humanoid Eerie Monsters don't seem so scary after all.

On the contrary, in his eyes, he was like a pile driver standing still.

Boom!

Instantly, the RPG in his hand spewed out a violent stream of fire—the exhaust fumes from a missile.

The missile had already flown into the Black Mist at extremely high speed and exploded.

In an instant -

The ground shook violently, and a black mushroom cloud appeared outside the pass, the strong winds making the group rustle.

Yu Qingnian adjusted his glasses and calmly said...

"Gu Cheng, are you trying to install nuclear power?"

"Aren't you afraid that this power will affect this area?"

Gu Cheng smiled faintly, giving him a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry, this is a meticulously calculated, complete formula; there's no way there could be any unexpected problems."

"And isn't this power quite great?"

"With just one strike, most of those Eerie Monsters died. In any case, the areas shrouded in Black Mist have already become places of decay."

"If I don't feel sorry for you, do you think you will?"

Yu Qingnian shook his head without saying a word, perhaps feeling helpless about Gu Cheng.

His eyes gazed into the distance, and he murmured, "The wind is picking up."

Deep within the Black Mist.

That eroded land was called the "Great Wilderness".

This is because the land here is no longer usable by humans; it has been occupied by Eerie Monsters.

On the black ground, the tumor wriggled.

Countless black liquids resembling human faces were flowing towards one point.

A terrifying aura was beginning to emerge.

Countless cocoons resembling ovaries stand upright on the ground here.

A series of howls echoed, like vengeful ghosts.

Suddenly, a human-like voice rang out.

"Our vessel has already begun preparations."

"When the stars gather, the Forbidden will surely come."

"Only through flesh and blood can one achieve reincarnation."
