An Unremarkable Path

"I have to find them and clear them out completely before I can solve this Dream Gas problem."

Martin reached out and grabbed at the drifting Colored Mist.

"These things are interesting. They can't actually be killed. Kill them on one layer, and they revive on another."

"Are you talking about Dream Gas?" Li Luo asked curiously from the side.

He gave a bitter laugh and
