Within the dense gray mist, hoarse, murmuring Demonic Sound swept over them.
This was one of the Mist Lord's mental attack abilities.
Demonic Sound could stir up Negative Emotions such as fear within its prey, effectively weakening their combat strength.
This move was particularly effective against prey with weak wills.
At the same time, this ability could also test the strength of its prey.
The stronger one was, the stronger their willpower, and the harder it was for mental manipulation abilities to erode them.
After Feng Qi and Mu Qing entered the Mist Domain Field, they had constantly been sensing for the Mist Lord's presence.
The moment the whispers appeared, they accurately locked onto the Mist Lord's location.
This was the best time to strike.
If they continued pretending to be weak, they might not see the Mist Lord even by the time they died.
Old Mi's method of killing prey was to use gray mist to absorb their blood. He had no need to reveal himself personally.
During the years Feng Qi had spent growing up alongside Old Mi,
Old Mi had enjoyed reading human myths, learning about the structure and development of human society through its origins.
During that time, he had learned of a creature called a "vampire."
Old Mi had once scoffed at those mythical creatures that needed to get close to suck blood. He felt their methods were crude and that they could easily be counterattacked at close range by enemies playing dead.
He believed that only controlling vital energy and blood was the most effective means of absorbing blood.
Therefore, once they had located Old Mi, they had to act decisively. Any delay could bring unexpected changes.
Hearing Feng Qi's shout, Mu Qing instantly entered a combat state.
Jade-colored Streamer swiftly enveloped her body.
