Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: The Terrifying Gray Mist Zone

More than an hour later.

Lin You and the others finally crossed the plains and came to the deepest part of the plains, standing before a gray zone filled with thunder and lightning, with flames shooting into the sky.

The terrifying sense of oppression coming towards them made them stop in their tracks, standing in place.

“Is this the legendary Gray Mist Zone that separates the two regions?”

Lin You faced the fierce winds around him, looking shocked.

Although he had heard Yin Tiange describe the Gray Mist Zone before, seeing it with his own eyes deeply shocked him.

Not far from where they stood, a seemingly endless gray mist surged, crackling with flickers of lightning.

The ground was covered with lava and cracks, with pillars of fire continuously erupting and booming loudly.

It was like a purgatory on earth!

After hesitating for a moment, Lin You let the Tree Spirit General, with its strong life force, enter the Gray Mist Zone to test it out.

As Yin Tiange had said, the body started to slowly corrode, and without intervention, it might not last even ten minutes.

“The corrosiveness of the gray mist is indeed much weaker than before,” Yin Tiange said solemnly. “My demons should be able to last a few minutes.”

“My Elemental Species can absorb Earth and Fire Elements to heal themselves, so they can last a bit longer,” Yan Wu pondered.

“I can dispel and purify,” Bai Haitang spoke up for once.

Hearing this, Lin You immediately said, “In that case, let’s set off, we don’t have much time left.”

The Migrating Pearl’s duration is only five days.

It’s already the third day, and if they can’t cross the gray mist to the other region within five days, all that awaits them is a dead end.

Yin Tiange and the others were well aware of this.

After taking a deep breath, they led their troops into the gray mist.

Lin You did the same, leading the plants inside.

As they continued forward.

Gradually, Lin You felt a strong sense of oppression coming from all directions, accompanied by a tearing and squeezing sensation, as if the entire world was rejecting him.

Even more terrifying, the surrounding gray mist began to constantly erode his body, burning his skin, sending a scorching pain, which grew increasingly intense.

Boom!

Suddenly, not far from them, a fire column shot up, with immense heat rushing towards them.

“Speed up, we can’t stay here too long!”

Yin Tiange exclaimed loudly, speeding up gradually.

The four of them hurried forward, surrounded by their troops, navigating between lava pools and cracked earth, with the sounds of thunder continuously ringing in their ears, and fire pillars becoming more frequent and intense.

At this moment, a sudden bright white light appeared in the sky.

A massive lightning bolt appeared, striking directly towards them!

Lin You and the others’ expressions changed, with no time to react, the lightning struck with a “snap”, hitting a Tier Six Earth Element beside Yan Wu.

In an instant, the Earth Element turned into ashes, leaving no trace!

“This!!”

Yan Wu’s eyes widened, staring in horror at the scene.

A Tier Six Species, just died like that?

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was seeing things!

Even Lin You and the others were equally shocked.

“Move quickly!”

Lin You shouted, shocking them back to their senses.

Not daring to linger, they sped up, heading deeper.

Along the way, the lava pillars and lightning increased, even arcs of electricity began appearing on the ground, forcing them to keep their distance.

Yet, no matter how cautious they were, troops continued to perish in the lava and lightning, even Lin You lost three Tier Six Plants.

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, Bai Haitang’s cry of alarm rang through the team.

Just twenty meters ahead, space suddenly cracked open, and black tendrils shot out from the rift, rushing towards them.

“Spatial rift!?”

Lin You stopped in shock, immediately ordering the Tree Spirit General to stand in front.

Simultaneously, the Wall of Flaming from Yan Wu, Dark Devouring from Yin Tiange, and Holy Light Judgment from Bai Haitang fell, exploding in front of the team, repelling the black tendrils.

Taking advantage of the opportunity.

They quickly changed direction, skirting around the spatial rift.

But gradually, they discovered.

The number of spatial rifts increased, with more black tendrils reaching out, trying to drag them into the tear.

In a moment of inattention, two Tier Six Demons beside Yin Tiange got entangled by the tendrils, and with loud roars, were dragged into the rift, instantly shredded to pieces by the chaotic currents!

The losses for the others were even more severe, with troops continuously falling.

“The space here is too unstable, everyone be careful!”

Lin You called out loudly.

By now, only forty troops remained beside him.

Those plants with Healing Skills worked tirelessly to heal them and the other troops, while the rest helped fend off tendrils from all directions.

The Angel Priest troops around Bai Haitang were also busy, constantly chanting Holy Light Magic, healing and relieving pain.

Yin Tiange’s demons couldn’t receive Holy Light Magic, so they retreated to the sides, defending against attacks from both flanks.

The four of them hurried on, continuing to delve deeper inside.

Yet, suddenly.

A spatial rift appeared without warning behind Bai Haitang, who was commanding troops.

“Oh no! Dodge quickly!”

Lin You and the others were shocked and dismayed.

But before they could rescue her, the rift slashed across Bai Haitang’s waist, causing her to scream, blood splattering!

Fortunately, the vines beside Lin You arrived in time, wrapping around the fallen Bai Haitang, pulling her away, and quickly leaving the direction of the rift.

“Are you okay?”

Lin You hurriedly directed the plants around him to heal her wounds.

Meanwhile, the Holy Light from the Angel Priests enveloped her.

Yan Wu and Yin Tiange also rushed over.

Bai Haitang’s Angel Type troops were crucial for their healing and protection enhancements; if anything happened to her, crossing the gray mist would become much harder for them.

Moreover, they were all allies on a united front, suffering together.

If anyone was harmed, it would be a fatal blow to them.

“I’m okay…cough…”

Bai Haitang coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, but under the joint healing of the plants and angels, her life was saved, slowly regaining consciousness.

Her waist wound also stopped bleeding, slowly beginning to heal.

Seeing this, Lin You and the others showed relief.

“Let my plants carry you for now, it’s hard for you to move like this, we’ll wait for you to recover,”

Lin You decisively let the Blood Demoness retract its spikes, using vines to weave a simple stretcher to carry Bai Haitang forward.

Bai Haitang knew she was seriously injured and did not refuse Lin You’s kindness.

“Thank you.”

She gave Lin You a grateful look.

If it hadn’t been for Lin You’s timely rescue, she might have been swept into the spatial rift, perishing without a trace.

“Alright, let’s move out.”

With that, the team set off once more.

Continuing to delve into the Gray Mist Zone.

With Bai Haitang’s earlier incident, they became more cautious, immediately avoiding any danger they detected, taking no unnecessary risks.

However, the vastness of the Gray Mist Zone far exceeded their expectations.

They had been advancing in the mist for nearly a whole day without any sign of crossing through.

Instead, the surrounding thunderstorms and flames grew ever more terrifying, and spatial rifts appeared more frequently.

Occasionally, two or three rifts would appear at once!

“Look! What’s that!?”

Suddenly, Yan Wu’s voice exclaimed within the team.

The group, originally on high alert, was struck by a revitalizing impulse.

They then saw, within the gray mist ahead, a shadow as gigantic as a mountain emerge!
