Confession

"Ever since I came here four years ago, I have been able to sense that I have indeed developed a strange connection with this black mist."

After hearing Yu Honglu's confession, Yu Honge's expression darkened. "Sister, why didn't you tell me sooner? You stopped me just now, saying it was for the safety of the duchy?"

"It's true, I can sense it. If we recklessly explore this black fog, it will definitely bring a huge crisis to our country. But I also heard you say that this black fog is about to erupt, so I really don't know what to do." Yu Honglu said with a conflicted expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Don't panic. Now that things have come to this point, we need to remain calm. Your Highness, please think back carefully about any special details or clues you may have encountered during your contact with the Black Mist over the past four years."

Yu Honglu frowned, thinking hard. "Your Highness, after I entered the black mist, I felt an invisible attraction that made me sink deeper and deeper, but I can't explain the specific details for the time being."

Yun Xi then remembered something else, "Four years ago, I told you not to send anyone into the black mist anymore, so why did you still come in, Your Highness Honglu?"

"Your Yun Xi, I didn't tell you before, but I had come in once before you reminded me. I was very lucky to leave at the time, so I didn't think much of it. Who knew that it would lead to this connection later?"

"I see. Did you make any special discoveries or encounters when you came in that time?"

"Your Highness, when I entered that time, I only felt a powerful and mysterious force permeating the black mist, which made me somewhat disoriented, but fortunately I quickly found a way out. I just didn't expect that this would have such a lasting impact on me."

"In that case, the most urgent task is to stop the eruption of this black mist... Your Highness Red Crocodile, your Appraisal Skill must be very powerful, right?" Since you have obtained the inheritance of the God of Appraisal, your Appraisal Skill skills must be extraordinary.

Yu Honge nodded solemnly. "Your Highness, my Appraisal Skill skills are indeed quite capable, but I cannot guarantee how effective they will be against this mysterious and unpredictable black mist."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

"Alright then, I'll give it my best."

As he spoke, Yu Honge closed his eyes and began to outline the corresponding Sorcery Patterns. Then, a mysterious magical energy emanated from his body and spread towards the black mist.

At the same time, Yun Xi also began to use the Appraisal Skill.

Unlike others who can only choose a few spells to max out after reaching a high level, Yun Xi had no shortage of Freedom Skill Points, so she maxed out all her spells.

A level 40 Appraisal Skill is no simple feat.

She began to carefully examine everything along the way...

Just then, Yun Xi suddenly felt a powerful dark force attacking the Yu Honge, as if it wanted to interrupt his Appraisal Skill spell.

Yun Xi's gaze sharpened, and a beam of light appeared in her hand, colliding with the dark power.

With a deafening roar, light and darkness intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling sparks.

The Yu Honge was startled by this sudden turn of events and opened its eyes, its face full of vigilance.

"Your Highness Hong'e, please continue using the Appraisal Skill and ignore these attacks. The most important thing now is to find the key point in the Black Mist so that we can resolve its outbreak crisis."

Compared to Yun Xi's Appraisal Skill, Yu Honge, who received the inheritance of the God of Appraisal, has a better chance of finding that key node.

Yu Honglu reacted immediately and helped to defend against the attack.

Upon hearing this, Yu Honge took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and used his full strength to perform the Appraisal Skill technique.

Yun Xi and Yu Honglu fought side by side, resisting wave after wave of attacks from the dark power.

Yun Xi consistently and accurately Light Arrow Technique, repelling the dark forces time and again. Yu Honglu, on the other hand, used group defensive spells to create protective barriers, relieving Yun Xi's pressure.

Time ticked by, and the attacks they faced became increasingly intense.

The LV30 Light Emblem in Yun Xi's hand was completely destroyed, and the Unknown Seed was also stained with a small amount of black.

Each time the light arrow collided with the power of darkness, it triggered a strong energy fluctuation, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble.

Yu Honglu's clothes were soaked with sweat. Her magic had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and she was starting to feel the strain.

Just then, the Yu Honge suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them as he stared straight at the distance not far away.

"Your Yun Xi, I've found it. It's just ahead." Yun Xi exchanged a glance with Yu Honglu and immediately escorted Yu Honge Bi forward.

The three struggled forward against the increasingly intense power of darkness, each step feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Yu Honglu was panting heavily, her face full of exhaustion, but she dared not slack off in the slightest.

She had already exhausted a lot of spiritual energy in her previous battle with the Yu Honge, and now she couldn't take it anymore.

The three quickened their pace, as the dark power relentlessly assaulted their defenses, producing a piercing sound.

Finally, they arrived at the location indicated by the Yu Honge... There, there was a dense, extremely dark mass.

Yun Xi's gaze pierced through the thick black mist and saw the item encased within—a drop of viscous black liquid.

Upon seeing this mass of blackness, Yu Honglu suddenly froze, her eyes rapidly turning black, the whites of her eyes gradually becoming completely black.

Yun Xi and Yu Honge both noticed this and stared at her blankly.

"Sister, are you alright?" Yu Honge asked in a trembling voice. Although he knew that his sister was related to the black mist, he really didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Your Highness Honglu, what's wrong?"

Yu Honglu seemed to have lost consciousness, unresponsive to their calls. Her body began to tremble, and a dark aura emanated from her.

Yu Honge was anxious to get closer to her sister, but Yun Xi stopped her. "Don't make any rash moves. The situation is unclear, and you may be in danger."

Yu Honge was frantic. "Your Highness, what should we do? My sister..."

Just then, Yu Honglu suddenly let out a strange, eerie laugh, the sound echoing in the black mist and sending chills down one's spine.

At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Logically, only Abnormal God could cause such a bizarre situation. The Dark Lord God is a righteous god, and there is clearly no demonic energy in the power He possesses...

Unexpectedly, Yu Honglu's abnormality only lasted for a moment, and then the darkness in her eyes slowly faded, returning her to normal.

"Red Crocodile, Your Yun Xi, why are you two looking at me like that?" She asked with a hint of doubt. "That thing should be the key to this black mist, right? Shall we try to see if we can deal with it?"
