Chapter 35: Boundless Fog

It was impossible to distinguish between day and night in the fog, and Xu Mingxi could only judge the current time by observing the concentration of starlight guided by his first soul skill.

The night was coming to an end, and since the two Soul Saints came in, no one else had appeared.

Xiao Family Soul Saint said goodbye and went straight back into the thick fog. He needed to go back and look for Xiao Rui, which was the most important purpose of his trip.

Xu Mingxi sat alone, watching the Xiao family's Soul Saint leave indifferently. Now that he couldn't contact his grandfather and his backer was gone, he had to pretend to be unscrupulous.

He just didn't believe that the fog that even the Soul King and Soul Saint couldn't stop would pose any threat to his grandfather. At most, he would be held back by something.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Qingting stood in front of the ruins, looking at the broken gate in front of him, and then glanced at Xu Mingxi, the only outsider. If he didn't agree, he might have to take some other measures.

The so-called savior of his sister and the distinguished guest of the Chen family were all fake. The only thing that made them wary was Xu Mingxi's strength and the mysterious background revealed by the involvement of the Yuan family.

Xu Mingxi naturally also saw the current situation. There were some subtle changes in the looks of the two Chen brothers when they looked at him. However, who knew whether his protector was there or not.

"Let's go in and take a look together."

The two brothers of the Chen family looked at each other tacitly and nodded. Now is not the time to turn against each other. What kind of dangers are inside is still unknown. Whether there will be gains in the end and whether the gains are worth their turning against each other are all things that need to be considered.

Chen Qingting thought of the smoke wolf they had encountered before. Although it did not pose any threat to them, they were forced to break in here.

But the immortal and never-tiring appearance really frightened him. Shaking his head at his brother, Chen Qingting took the lead and walked into the ruins.

Xu Mingxi followed the two brothers, while the iguana soul saint of the Chen family walked at the end. He was always paying attention to the movements behind, but he also paid a lot of attention to Xu Mingxi.

After they went in, the great elder behind them also wanted to follow, but just as he was about to step into the ruins, the broken door suddenly closed and thick smoke began to rise around them.

The Great Elder's face changed instantly. He couldn't even see through the smoke. His fourth soul ring lit up and directly hit the gate.

The door was blasted open, and the great elder walked in and saw that it was an empty hall. Xu Mingxi and the others had disappeared long ago.

After Xu Mingxi and the other three stepped into the ruins, they heard the creaking sound of a door closing. They turned around suddenly, only to see that the door they had just entered had disappeared.

Chen Qingting's martial spirit possessed him and he punched the place where the door was originally located. The exploding fist collided with the wall but did not cause any damage to it.

The four people present retreated to the center unconsciously. They saw thick fog rising all around them, and they heard the hoarse roar of beasts in the fog.

Under Xu Mingxi's gaze, the smoke rolled and a smoke wolf rushed out from it. Chen Qingting was about to use the same trick again, going up to resist it head-on, and then knocking it away with one punch.

However, he did not expect that the attack power of this smoke wolf was completely different from the previous one. Chen Qingting's arm was directly grabbed and blood splattered everywhere. The pain made him stop unconsciously. The smoke wolf took this opportunity to shrink back into the smoke.

Chen Qingting retreated back to the team, his arm still bleeding, and he no longer dared to attack at will.

The monsters in the smoke would not miss this opportunity. The wolf-shaped one came from behind and the tiger-shaped one came from the front. The two of them attacked everyone from the smoke together.

Chen Family Soul Saint Chen Lizard stopped the tiger form, Xu Mingxi's star net slowed down the wolf form, Chen Qingting's fifth soul ring lit up, and he struck out with one claw, crushing it. The two smoke monsters were defeated and turned into mist and returned to the thick fog, preparing for the next attack. Xu Mingxi and the other four looked around vigilantly, and their mood sank to the bottom almost instantly.

The monsters transformed from fog are immortal and tireless, but their soul power and physical strength are limited, and they have no capital to waste.

"Let's go, we go into the smoke, you guys open the way, I'll protect the surroundings."

At the critical moment, Xu Mingxi stood up and entered the fog. Monsters could attack from all directions, and only the Guardian of the Stars could protect the four people.

He could feel the intensity of the star power around him. It was probably already night time, which was the time when he was at his strongest.

The others had no other choice but to believe that Xu Mingxi could really protect them.

Chen Qingfeng carried Xu Mingxi on his back, and a dazzling star crown appeared. The fourth and fifth soul rings lit up at the same time, and the stars twinkled, forming a flowing light curtain that enveloped everyone in the middle.

It was the first time that the three members of the Chen family saw Xu Mingxi’s fourth soul skill. They were so surprised that they took Xu Mingxi and rushed into the thick fog. This was their only way.

There were not as many monsters in the thick fog as one might have imagined. From what Xu Mingxi observed, there seemed to be only one wolf and one tiger attacking them.

The intensity of the attack was roughly equivalent to a casual blow from a Soul Emperor. Xu Mingxi could still hold on for the time being, but every attack made his face paler.

"Hurry, I can't hold on long."

At Xu Mingxi's call, the three members of the Chen family held hands together and ran wildly in one direction. They had consumed more than half of their soul power, but they still seemed to have not touched the border, and there was not even a trace of the border.

"Stop, we can't go any further. If we continue, we won't even have the energy to fight back against these two monsters."

Xu Mingxi was carried on Chen Qingfeng's back and had time to observe his surroundings and think, but he did not even notice the boundary of the thick fog.

His mind was in a mess. He pinched himself hard, forced himself to calm down, and started brainstorming.

On the Douluo Continent, there are only soul beasts, gods, human soul masters, and soul guides. Excluding gods first, the chance of encountering them is pitifully small.

It is also unlikely that soul beasts and human soul masters can stop the Titled Douluo and trap the four of them here. This is basically out of this category.

Xu Mingxi's mind kept flashing back to the information he had read in the Xingguan Sect and the original work he had read in his previous life, and he was extremely anxious.

The great elder from the outside world looked at the four people lying in the empty hall, the strange soul guide floating above the center of the hall, and the soul bones emitting bright light inside, and his heart was filled with indescribable worry.

This soul guide is obviously aimed at the spirit. Even he was deceived when he first came in. Can Mingxi really find the flaw?

The Great Elder wanted to destroy this strange soul guide device directly, but he was afraid that it would affect Xu Mingxi's mental power, so he could only watch the soul power in his body disappear.

If at the end, Xu Mingxi's soul power is about to be exhausted, he will take action directly, and he will not be able to care about so many things by then.
