Chapter 233: Eight-Armed Giant
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The forest was deep and dense, and the airflow was complicated. It was easier for Lin Yan to hide his figure and move closer silently.
“That Unusual Item…”
“We might…”
“If we had it…”
As the three of them walked, they would talk from time to time. Lin Yan listened carefully and increasingly felt that their actions were a little strange.
For example, Yu Qian had become like a hedgehog after the dungeon incident that day. Other than Lin Yan, she didn’t trust anyone else at all.
But today, he followed Jiao Liang and Tao Chen all the way to such a remote place. Moreover, he did not show any vigilance in his words and actions.
This made Lin Yan feel extremely unfamiliar. She was completely different from the Yu Qian in his impression!
However, they did not notice it at all.
As he walked forward, the distance he walked grew further and deeper.
“They’ve walked so far. I’m afraid they’re going to get close to the forbidden Chaotic Fog that Ling Shuangxue and the others mentioned…”
It was said that this Chaotic Fog surrounded the entire area 50 kilometers away from Ding’an City. It was a forbidden area for humans.
Lin Yan had only heard of the Chaotic Fog from Ling Shuangxue and had never had the chance to see it with his own eyes, so he was still a little curious.
Just as he was about to follow, Lin Yan’s gaze suddenly froze.
“That’s…”
In the distant forest, wisps of silver-gray fog that looked like smoke wrapped around the forest and circled between the green leaves.
“This is… the Chaotic Fog?!
Lin Yan was slightly shocked. This fog looked a little familiar. It was somewhat similar to the fog he had subconsciously seen when he was sublimating the special effects!
However, compared to the fog in the illusion, the color of this fog was more silver-gray. Moreover, it was connected into wisps like threads, covering the forest with a silver-gray veil.
“Huh? These three people… Do they want to die?!”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. The three people in front were still advancing, as if they ignored the wisps of fog in front of them. They were even chatting happily with each other, as if they were discussing how to split their gains.
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and nimbly climbed up a tree trunk. He casually grabbed four dried tree fruits from the branch.
He exerted a little force on his wrist and a tree fruit flew high into the air. When it landed, it hit the top of Yu Qian’s head.
“What is that!”
Yu Qian soon felt something fall from the top of her head. She raised her hand and shattered the tree fruit. A few drops of green leaves landed on her palm and clothes.
Tao Chen and Jiao Liang were also shocked.
Yu Qian looked at the palm of her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s a tree fruit… Hmm? This is!”
Her expression changed slightly as she finally noticed the fog floating in the forest ahead.
Tao Chen and Jiao Liang acted as if they didn’t see anything. They waved their hands. “Let’s go. Why aren’t you continuing?”
“Look at the fog…”
Only then did the two of them look up. A trace of fear flashed across their faces.
However, in the next moment, Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. Jiao Liang and Tao Chen’s bodies suddenly stiffened!
The fear on their faces suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a look of blame. “Don’t make a fuss. This fog must be related to that Unusual Item. We’ll be there soon!”
However, this time, Yu Qian was not so easily fooled. She hesitated and said, “1 heard that the periphery of Ding’an City is surrounded by a terrifying fog of death. Could it be this?”
Definitely not!”
Jiao Liang said speechlessly, “The fog of death is a forbidden area that humans can’t step foot in. Look at this fog. Is it that terrifying?”
At this moment, a conflicted expression appeared on Yu Qian’s face.
It was as if there were two voices and thoughts pulling at each other in her body. One said that the fog was ordinary and definitely harmless. Jiao Liang could not harm her.
However, the other was her biological instincts, which kept telling her that this fog was abnormal.
Lin Yan’s expression darkened completely.
Anyone who encountered such a scene would definitely turn around and run. It was impossible for them to stay any longer!
However, Yu Qian, Jiao Liang, and Tao Chen seemed to be possessed and did not notice anything abnormal!
There was a strange power affecting their rationality and mind, making them distort…
At this moment, a demonic wind suddenly rose. Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. The fog had moved!
Like flowing silver mercury or jade liquid, the silver-gray fog suddenly became dense and gathered into a silver fog tide, drowning the dark forest and slowly devouring the three of them.
Jiao Liang and Tao Chen did not seem to see the strange change in the fog and continued to stand on the spot.
Lin Yan looked carefully and realized that their eyes were already white. Their bodies were completely stiff on the spot. There was clearly a problem.
Yu Qian’s expression was also extremely strange at this moment, as if she had been bewitched. Her eyes were fixed on the fog, and her ankles trembled.
Then, as if she could not resist the temptation or control herself, she slowly walked towards the fog.
Just as she was about to be swallowed by the surging fog, Lin Yan suddenly appeared beside her. He grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back.
At the same time, when he passed by Tao Chen and Jiao Liang, he did not forget to kick them away from the fog.
After retreating 30 feet away from the fog, Lin Yan looked at Yu Qian’s condition in his hand and realized that her eyes had been closed at some point in time. She had fainted, and even Jiao Liang and Tao Chen had fainted.
Lin Yan stared intently at the silver-gray fog in front of him.
From the moment he jumped out and pulled Yu Qian and the other two out, the fog suddenly stopped and rolled on the spot. It was as if it had its own consciousness and was interrupted by Lin Yan’s sudden appearance.
Lin Yan stared fixedly at the fog and did not move. The fog also stopped in place and rolled endlessly.
For a moment, the man and the fog froze on the spot.
Suddenly!
A gap suddenly opened in the fog, and a thick and huge black shadow was suddenly thrown out from the fog. Like a falling pillar, it suddenly stabbed in front of Lin Yan!
Fast!
It was too fast!
The black shadow was the size of a door and instantly filled Lin Yan’s entire vision!
Lin Yan’s pupils constricted. This was… a giant’s arm more than ten meters long!
Before he could take a closer look, the wind and lightning around Lin Yan suddenly intertwined. The phantom of an Azure Dragon wrapped around his body, and power instantly filled his entire body. Endless power gathered on the tip of his fist and he brazenly struck out, colliding with the huge fist.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the two fists suddenly stopped. Endless lightning storms splashed out from the intersection of the two fists.
In the next moment, Lin Yan flew into the depths of the forest like an arrow leaving the bow. He crashed into a big tree before barely stopping.
More than ten deep wounds appeared on the giant’s fist.
Lin Yan coughed twice and shook his body to break free from the huge wood.
His expression was solemn as he slowly breathed to calm the suffocation in his chest.
This was the first time!
He circulated the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder and was actually still sent flying!
However, it was not that the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder was not strong enough, but that the other party’s body was too big and the quality was too heavy. His feet slid, and he was unable to withstand the blow and was sent flying.
It was only at this moment that he could barely see the appearance of the giant’s arm. It was more than ten meters long and looked like a human’s, but the human arm only had two joints on the shoulder and elbow. However, the part of the arm outside the fog already had a total of three joints. When it moved, it operated like a puppet. It was extremely strange and awkward.
The arm was covered in rough black hair, similar to the fur of an ape, emitting the aura of a wild beast.
“What the hell is this…”
The three joints of his arm swayed. The giant’s arm slowly returned to the fog.
At this moment, Jiao Liang and Tao Chen, who were lying on the ground unconscious, suddenly stood up.
Their eyes were closed, but their bodies were controlled like marionettes as they limped towards Lin Yan.
Accompanying it was the surging fog behind him that suddenly moved again. This time, the fog spread forward at an extremely fast speed, instantly enveloping Jiao Liang and Tao Chen.
In the fog, eight huge pupils that were like blood-red lanterns suddenly opened. A terrifying malice that seemed to come from a predator at the top of the food chain made Lin Yan’s hair stand on end.
He took a deep breath and used the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder again.
However, at the same time, a ball of pitch-black Savage Flame appeared behind him. It suddenly expanded like a huge, erect black mirror, vaguely matching the silver-gray fog.
The Essence Energy stored in the Essence Origin Holy Flame was injected into the Savage Flame without any conservation. In an instant, almost a hundred sharp blades protruded from the Savage Flame’s black mirror as if they were floating in water.
Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks…
All kinds of weapons were present, and black lightning vaguely flickered on their blades.
Lin Yan flipped his palm slightly, facing the surging fog and the eight huge blood-red pupils that were flickering as they approached.
Suddenly, two more gaps appeared in the fog. Tao Chen and Jiao Liang rushed towards Lin Yan in a strange manner that didn’t seem human.
Lin Yan’s wrist paused for a moment. Without any hesitation, he flipped his palm down slightly and chanted in his heart, “Savage Flame—Mound of a Hundred Weapons!”
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
There seemed to be a soft sound of bullets being fired. The weapons in the Savage Flame’s black mirror all shot out. They were so fast that they were like a hundred howitzers that instantly tore through the air and pierced into the silver-gray fog!
“Roar!!!
With a miserable roar, the entire fog instantly boiled!
Lin Yan could vaguely see a terrifying humanoid figure dozens of meters tall in the fog!
It was surrounded by eight huge arms like before. At this moment, they were coiled into a shield that blocked in front of it. They were filled with Savage Flame weapons and were pierced through.
Vaguely, a huge head raised, and eight huge scarlet eyes shone with blood light, casting extreme hatred at Lin Yan.
However, Lin Yan couldn’t see any more. After using the Mound of a Hundred Weapons, he only took a glance before carrying Yu Qian and retreating. Relying on the speed of the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thundery he sped back and fled far away..
