The black mist here was not as dense as the one behind us, but dim black flames had appeared ahead.
This was not the first time we had seen black fire.
Much of this black fire belonged to the category of yin fire.
But yin fire came in many forms. Some only affected souls and phantom bodies, while others could burn flesh to ruin, or even scorch one's vital essence dry.
At a glance, the library and even the roads around it were covered in this kind of black fire.
It cut off the path ahead of us.

I snapped off a branch from a nearby tree and tossed it into the black fire.
Right after that, the green branch in the black flames rapidly withered and yellowed, eventually turning into deadwood.
I frowned. This black fire could burn away the vitality of living things!
If we forced our way through, we would end up like that branch and those trees, our life force drained until we died here.
"Ou Doudou, the black fire is blocking the way. It won't be easy to get through!"

Carefree Tower probably doesn't want outside
