Lin Yiyi Trapped in the Black Mist, a God Descends!

At dawn, Fang Yi opened his eyes.

Eight in the morning.

With no work or school, getting up at this hour was just right.

But...

"Usually, Cousin would have breakfast ready and come wake me up by now. Why haven't I heard her calling me today? Is she sleeping in?"

Fang Yi was a little puzzled. He got up and washed up.

The Heavenly Fire Blade incident had faded from public attention quickly. Only a day had passed, yet there was already no trace of it anywhere online, as if a giant hand had erased every record of it.

The higher-ups must have intervened.

If they did not conceal it, it would cause social unrest and all kinds of speculation.

The authorities were not yet planning to fully reveal the Spirit Qi Recovery, so it made sense.

Fang Yi walked out of his room and knocked on the door of the second bedroom. No one answered. When he pushed it open, he found it completely empty.

"So she did go out."

Fang Yi left the room, casually made himself breakfast to fill his stomach, then browsed the news for a while.

Two hours passed, yet Cousin still had not returned. Fang Yi was puzzled. When he looked toward the entrance, he saw that the slippers were scattered messily.

"She left in a hurry, but she hasn't even sent me a message after all this time?"

Whenever Cousin went out to look for Great World Changes, she would usually tell him in advance. But this time, she had said nothing.

Fang Yi had a bad feeling and dialed Lin Yiyi's number.

The number you have dialed is outside the service area...

Outside the service area?

His expression suddenly turned cold.

Could something have happened?

Gurgle.

Pitch-black fog shrouded the surroundings like thick seawater, drowning them and making it impossible to breathe. No light could penetrate this place. The cold, evil aura made Lin Yiyi shudder.

How long had it been?

Lin Yiyi's face was pale as she scanned her surroundings. Behind her, the 81-year-old Beautiful Young Woman trembled, a bloody wound visible on her shoulder. She had clearly been injured.

They had been trapped here for two hours.

"Yiyi, I dragged you into this..."

Lin Yiyi did not respond, continuing to watch their surroundings vigilantly.

Black!

Utter darkness!

As far as the eye could see, there was only thick, suffocating blackness. All the light in heaven and earth had been swallowed away. Not even a trace of light remained, and simply seeing anything had become a luxury.

Spirit qi swirled around her body, and a faint white glow kept the black mist at bay. Outside, the mist coiled and surged like the tentacles of monsters lurking in the night, waiting for the instant their prey lost focus.

Seeing this, the Gorgeous Young Woman's eyes filled with guilt. Their situation today was entirely her fault. She had encountered this ghost shadow by accident, and Lin Yiyi had come to help.

She had thought it was merely an ordinary anomaly, but she had never expected this anomaly's methods and abilities to be so cunning.

She had dragged Yiyi into this.

This anomaly did not seem to intend to eat them. Instead, it wanted to trap and refine them here. To anomalies, powerful Pioneers were excellent nourishment.

"When all is said and done, we're still too weak."

Lin Yiyi clenched her hands tightly.

Was she still unable to do it?

Just then, Lin Yiyi's body suddenly jolted. Streaks of spiritual light shot from her hand toward a certain direction.

Swish!

The sound of spirit qi piercing flesh rang out.

Thud—

A person with severely decayed, festering skin was pierced through by the spiritual light.

The numb, blood-red figure crashed to the ground.

Yet neither woman looked any less tense.

There were too many.

They had no idea how many times this scene had already occurred.

"These should all be people who were trapped to death here. They've become that anomaly's walking corpses now. It's toying with us, trying to assimilate us too."

"Here, it seems invincible," Lin Yiyi said quietly.

The moment her words fell.

Ripples spread through the surroundings. Through the darkness, they vaguely resembled thick blood, making the atmosphere even colder.

Within this black mist, their spirit qi was already being rapidly depleted.

Swish!

A cold, evil gaze filled with mockery suddenly opened in the darkness, like a crack splitting through space.

The 81-year-old Beautiful Young Woman's pupils contracted sharply. Though it was so dark that she could see nothing, she somehow saw a nauseating bloodshot eyeball. It seemed deliberate... The anomaly stood at the end of the darkness, looking down upon the two women it regarded as prey, a humanlike sneer hanging from its lips.

The next moment, within darkness deeper and more oppressive than ink, patches of eerie scarlet emerged. They twisted, writhed, and deformed, giving off the rotten stench of corpses.

They staggered toward them, seemingly endless...

"Die! You damned thing!"

The Gorgeous Young Woman gathered her strength and slashed out with her blade.

But with a soft pop, that eye vanished.

The thick black mist completely engulfed them.

"That thing has lost patience. Be careful."

Beads of cold sweat gradually formed on Lin Yiyi's smooth forehead.

More and more walking corpses appeared around them. Cold and numb, their skin pale as though they had been soaked in water for a long time. They suddenly began moving, sprinting toward them at full speed.

Countless eyes bloomed amid the drops of blood.

As they closed in step by step, the black mist flooded toward the two women. Their fragile barrier seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

Were they going to die?

Lin Yiyi's face was filled with despair.

She knew that the path of evolution was inherently dangerous. She had also wondered whether she would one day fall in some dark, forgotten corner. What would the world be like a year from now? What role would the Pioneers hidden across the land play?

"Young Woman, we may fall at the very last moment before dawn. We won't get to witness the grandeur of the Spirit Qi Recovery..."

She could no longer hear the Gorgeous Young Woman's voice.

Perhaps she had already been swallowed by the darkness.

It was over...

With a crack.

The spirit qi barrier let out a crisp shattering sound.

Like hyenas spotting a chunk of meat, the black mist lunged madly at Lin Yiyi.

But just then.

Riiip!

Thunder suddenly exploded beside Lin Yiyi's ears. She raised her eyes in shock.

In an instant, thunder filled the sky, like dawn tearing through all darkness. A lean figure stood straight and tall, forcibly ripping apart the irresistible black mist with sheer dominance.

What entered her sight was a pair of slightly helpless eyes.

He descended like a god.
