A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

188: A bizarre blood mist, the source of pollution.Don’t be fooled by how these two immortal pets usually look majestic and act like they fear nothing; they actually understand the principle of being soft-spoken and pliable after receiving favors.

Case in point, Bai Tian had prepared some benefits for them in advance. They couldn’t wait to finish the spirit medicine and metal before turning into two streaks of ghostly light, plunging headlong into the weird blood mist ahead to start working.

”Let’s go, we’ll go find out the truth too!”

After applying a 20-fold amplification effect to everyone, Bai Tian took the lead, riding on the Ancestral Return Strange Horse as he charged into the blood mist.

The moment he entered the blood mist, the first sensation was a bone-chilling cold that made him shiver and froze him to the core.

It was as if he had suddenly arrived at the poles; his entire body felt uncomfortable.

This blood mist was also particularly strange, appearing to block perception; as far as the eye could see, one could only see about eight to ten meters away.

However, the two immortal pets were bold due to their high skill and had already gone deep into the blood mist. For now, everything seemed normal, and no bad news had been sent back.

Eh?

Bai Tian suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He discovered that in this area covered by the blood mist, all vegetation had withered and yellowed, as if it had lost its life.

Even the soil had turned a faint crimson color, continuously spewing small amounts of blood mist into the air.

It seemed that wherever this blood mist went, nothing was spared; everything was contaminated.

For such a place to appear in reality was truly too bizarre.

”Moon White, Liao Fan, where are you?”

Bai Tian was wondering why they were walking so slowly, but when he turned around, he found not a single figure behind him.

He quickly took out the walkie-talkie specially supplied by the military district and shouted loudly, ”Moon White, Liao Fan, Yan Xue, can you hear me?”

But there was only static in the walkie-talkie, with no response.

Bai Tian’s heart tightened, and he quickly had the Ancestral Return Strange Horse turn around to head back.

He hadn’t been in the blood mist for long, so it shouldn’t be hard to back out.

However, something strange happened. It was as if he had encountered a ’ghost wall’; no matter how he walked, he couldn’t leave this blood mist zone.

Bai Tian couldn’t help but be startled. What exactly was going on?

Just then, Jiang Yuebai’s voice came through the team channel: ”Bai Tian, Liao Fan, Yan Xue, where are you? We entered the blood mist together, so why can’t I see you anymore?”

Hearing Jiang Yuebai’s voice, Bai Tian was immediately overjoyed. It turned out everyone was fine; they were just separated by this weird blood mist.

Moreover, although the military walkie-talkies had failed, they could use the in-game team chat function in reality!

Bai Tian quickly said in the team chat: ”I feel like I’m lost. I can’t seem to back out of this blood mist area no matter what.”

At this time, Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue also spoke up in the team chat.

Liao Fan exclaimed, ”Heavens! This is too weird! Why do I feel like I’ve been spinning in circles in the same spot?”

Liu Yanxue’s voice sounded somewhat nervous: ”There aren’t ghosts here, are there? It feels so scary!”

As the leader of the team, Jiang Yuebai appeared the most calm: ”Everyone don’t panic, stay cool. Since we can’t back out and can’t regroup, let’s explore deeper first. Communicate any situation in the team chat immediately.”

However, just as she finished speaking, Liao Fan’s terrified scream came through the team chat: ”Holy crap! There’s a rat over there taller than me, and it’s eating something!”

Then, he shouted in horror again: ”Damn it! That rat spirit is eating the remains of the missing soldiers!”

Hearing this, Bai Tian couldn’t help but be shocked.

But thinking that Liao Fan could now use his in-game strength, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Just then, Liu Yanxue also let out a scream: ”Ah! idol, Flower, I’m scared to death! There’s an earthworm here thicker than a water bucket! It’s even spitting disgusting corrosive slime at me, it’s really terrifying!”

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but scold: ”Idiot! Just act like you’re playing the game! That earthworm is just a monster from the game; use your weapon to hack it!”

Bai Tian, meanwhile, had been calmly listening to the sounds around him because he knew that since Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue had encountered monsters, there would definitely be noise once the fighting started.

However, his expression turned grim as he discovered he couldn’t hear anything at all.

This undoubtedly proved a terrifying fact: although the four of them had entered the blood mist area at the same time, they were now far apart.

In this way, Bai Tian wouldn’t be able to look after them either.

Just then, Little Dragon Zombie suddenly flew in front of Bai Tian and pointed in a certain direction.

Clearly, the little guy had discovered something.

Seeing Little Dragon Zombie return, Bai Tian’s eyes lit up as a flash of inspiration hit him.

Flight!

This seemed to be a way to escape the weird blood mist!

Bai Tian immediately circulated his mana to activate Mana Transformation Wings, which turned into a pair of black and white feathered wings as he flew rapidly towards the high sky.

However, he discovered to his astonishment that this place seemed to be a closed space. No matter how hard he tried to ascend, he remained unable to escape the shroud of the blood mist, as if trapped by an endless fog.

Left with no choice, Bai Tian had to give up on flying and landed back on the ground.

He mounted the Ancestral Return Strange Horse and followed the direction Little Dragon Zombie pointed, moving forward slowly.

Suddenly, a long howl pierced the sky, and the Ancestral Return Strange Horse leaped up in fright, more than five meters off the ground.

Almost at the same instant, with a loud ”crack,” a pair of pitch-black, shiny tentacles shaped like metal scythes burst out from the crimson earth.

If not for the Ancestral Return Strange Horse’s quick reactions in jumping to dodge, it likely would have been disemboweled by those sharp tentacles long ago.

Bai Tian immediately swung the green wave pure lotus splendor in his hand and activated Nether Vortex. Instantly, the crimson earth within a hundred meters below was enveloped by a powerful magnetic field.

Under the pull of this force, a mutated giant black ant was dragged out.

This ant was covered in a thick metallic luster and was as large as a bull, looking exceptionally hideous.

However, within the twisting, violent magnetic field of the Nether Vortex, it was instantly torn to shreds, turning into a puddle of black liquid.

Surprisingly, a wisp of refined light evaporated from that liquid and slowly flowed into Bai Tian’s body, making him feel a wave of warmth.

And within that puddle of slime, a thumb-sized black gemstone was hidden.

Bai Tian walked over in confusion and picked up the gemstone.

— [Low-grade Spirit Crystal]!

(This gemstone contains a faint trace of spiritual power. For practitioners, although it is negligible, it is still a rare resource.)

Bai Tian looked at the Spirit Crystal in his hand in surprise, his breathing unconsciously becoming a bit heavier.

Just then, he was astonished to find that this Low-grade Spirit Crystal was instantly absorbed into his body, turning into a faint and wonderful little current that traveled through his entire body.

Bai Tian sensed that something more seemed to be inside him, but the change was too subtle to be accurately described in words.

He couldn’t help but wonder: was the essence he absorbed when killing that black ant just like the experience points gained in the game?
