Chapter 180 Magic Mist
When Xu Zhenfeng heard Lou Qianjiang say that they should wait here until dawn when the ghost fog would dissipate on its own, he decided to rush out.
His mind skipped a beat and he suddenly remembered this familiar smell of fog. Where had he smelled it before?
In the swamp of Xiyi territory.
Yes, the fog in the swamp is not ghost fog, but magic fog.
This was the kind of fog that existed in the swamp at that time.
The magic crystal absorbs the small Xiyi and then elevates the realm of the big Xiyi. It emits this kind of mist and this kind of smell.
Only then did he realize that they couldn't stay here until dawn.
Because the magic fog can make it difficult for both humans and monsters to breathe.
Lang Chong and his friends had never entered the swamp, so they didn't know that this was magic fog and thought it was ghost fog.
Xu Zhenfeng immediately said to Lou Qianjiang: "This is not ghost fog, it is magic fog."
When Lou Qianjiang heard the word "demon fog", his face turned pale.
It seems that he should also know the power of this magic fog.
Xu Zhenfeng was thinking quickly in his mind.
The magic fog is as afraid of fire as the ghost fog. This is not just a Xiyi realm made of stone. In this human world, there are too many things that can burn.
Another thing is that the magic fog causes much more damage to humans than to demons.
The demons can still endure the magic fog for a quarter of an hour or two, but humans will be completely blocked by the magic fog and unable to breathe after half a cup of tea at most.
From the oasis to the outside of Howling Mountain, it would take at least half an hour for the wolves to rush out at their speed.
What's more, once you rush into the magic fog, you will not be able to distinguish the direction and road conditions at all. Even if the monsters have excellent eyesight, they can't see more than ten feet away.
This greatly affects the running speed.
There are quite a few tall plants on the edge of the oasis that can be cut down to keep the fire burning. Perhaps we can even make it until dawn.
But now the magic fog has surrounded the fire.
They wanted to cut down more trees to keep the fire burning, almost in the dark.
What's more, no one knows how many demons are hiding in the magic fog.
But it's not safe to stay here. The fire has no fuel. It will burn out in half an hour at most, not to mention midnight.
By then, they will completely lose their vision, and neither humans nor demons will be able to protect themselves in such an environment.
After weighing the two options, Xu Zhenfeng decided to stay here and see if the battalion of demon soldiers guarding outside Howling Wind Mountain could detect anything unusual here and find a way to support them.
While thinking, Xu Zhenfeng said to Lou Qianjiang: "We can't get out, we have to cut more trees to keep the fire going.
As long as the fire is still there, we have light and can stop the spread of the magic fog."
Lou Qianjiang nodded with a grim expression and said, "It's just that our human race can't hold out for long in the magic fog."
He recalled for a moment, pointed to the northwest and said, "I remember there is a grove of Elaeagnus angustifolia trees less than two or three miles from here. It's the closest to us."
Xu Zhenfeng looked into Lou Qianjiang's eyes and asked, "Where are your human race's magic weapons? How long can you last with the help of magic weapons?"
Lou Qianjiang thought for a moment and took out a jade plate from his space magic weapon.
"There are very few magical weapons that can be used to deal with this kind of magic fog. I'm afraid those under my command don't have any. This is what my master gave me. It's called Zhuzhao.
After injecting the power of magic, with oneself as the center, one can expel poisonous gas, poisonous miasma, ghost fog or magic fog ten feet away, and can also avoid fire.
It's just that it can only be used for a moment each time, and it will take another hour before it can be used again."
"The power of magic? Isn't demonic power okay?"
Lou Qianjiang shook his head bitterly. "Most of the magical instruments used by humans can be driven by demonic power. Only this jade plate is one of the few magical instruments of the human race that cannot be driven by demonic power."
"Then let's do this. You take the jade plate and we'll go to the Elaeagnus afforestation to chop down trees."
"what?"
Lou Qianjiang looked at Xu Zhenfeng in surprise.
"Just let you and I do it. We don't need to take the risk, right?"
"Who has the highest cultivation level between you and your subordinates?"
Lou Qianjiang's lips trembled and he said, "I."
"Isn't that right? None of the monsters that came with me are as powerful as me. Besides, we are the leaders, so we should go together."
Xu Zhenfeng patted Ben Lei who was blocking him, and said, "My mount is very fast and very strong, so we should be more agile when the time comes."
Lou Qianjiang had a bitter expression. He had not expected that the demon clan actually had the tradition of letting those with the most noble status do the most dangerous things?
Xu Zhenfeng urged him quickly, "Don't delay. The demons in the magic fog are also preparing. If we delay any longer, it will be more dangerous for us to go out when they are ready."
"By the way, do you have any protective magic weapon? Share some with me."
Even at this time, Xu Zhenfeng did not forget to plunder Lou Qianjiang.
Anyway, it was in his hands, and he had no intention of returning it unless Lou Qianjiang asked for it.
Lou Qianjiang sighed, took out a cloak and handed it to Xu Zhenfeng.
"The Demon-Suppressing Cloak was also given to me by my master. Wearing it on you can minimize the strength of the demons' attacks."
Xu Zhenfeng took it without hesitation and put it on himself.
