Chapter 494 Familiar situation
The white tower collapsed under Xu Ling's sword, and its mountain-like skeletons were also alarmed. It would not roar or roar, but just began to roll with a rumble.
However, compared to fog, the reaction of this bone mountain is not very big.
Xu Ling felt the strong wind raging on the earth, and the gray fog surging wildly, causing the flares in the sky to appear and disappear.
He keenly realized that the wind direction was generally from west to east, that is, the fog was shrinking to the extreme west. It seemed that his and Luo Ji's judgment was not wrong. The powerful force of chaos spread were two bone towers, one south and one north, driven by the heart of the governor.
Such a huge movement seemed to shock the Mountain of Skeletons, and temporarily slowed down the pace of moving forward.
Xu Ling had expected that he took advantage of this moment to widen the distance and quickly ran towards the flare left by Luo Ji and the others.
The Gushan quickly chased in the same direction. Its "body" was bloated and looked clumsy, but it was not slow to move. Xu Ling started the Nine Profound Transformation on the seventh level, which was just as fast as it was.
The surrounding land has no living creature except for the distortion monster. The breath of humans makes the Bone Mountain not take detours at all. It seems that the last time I escaped from the pursuit of this thing, it was not because it could not catch up, but because it wanted to protect the second bone tower.
Fortunately, thousands of bones gave it infinite power, but also caused a disadvantage, that is, there was no clear reason, so it could not protect the second tower at all. This is probably not even expected by the people who made it.
Thinking of this, Xu Ling fell into doubt again. Is there really someone who made this thing?
He ran forward silently, with lights leading to the way, and the speed was fast, and the fog mixed with strong wind blew towards him, and he felt a coldness, and behind him was a rumbling mountain of bones. No matter how he ran, the thing was always following behind.
About an hour later, he finally caught up with Loki and Frig in front of him.
"Run quickly, that mountain is chasing you!"
Xu Ling was like a irritable old driver, shouting and passing by the two of them.
Loji's face froze and he quickly caught up with Frig.
However, no one in front of me used lights to show the way, so the speed of progress would inevitably be blocked. The Gushan Mountain was not affected by the terrain and only went straight, which quickly shortened the distance.
"What are you doing? That thing is following behind. What are you going to do?" Luo Ji shouted at Xu Ling while running, even a little incoherent. She didn't expect Xu Ling's plan to anger this thing and lure it over.
"What should I do? Bring it back. We have few people and can't beat it, but there are many people in the pass fortress."
Just as the two were talking, the strong wind in front suddenly became more rapid, and then a dazzling light shone over.
"It's fog, the fog is going to retreat." Frig said first.
call--
Xu Ling, who was running, felt a bright light in front of her eyes. As the gray-black fog dissipated, the sun shone again on the land.
Looking back, the fog that was as thick as solid was still retreating rapidly, and disappeared from the field of vision in a blink of an eye, probably retracting to the extreme west.
Without any cover, the surrounding environment is also visible, and it is no longer time to see only a few meters around you.
Xu Ling discovered that there was an isolated distortion monster not far away. Perhaps it had originally planned to launch a sneak attack on the three of them, but the fog receded. As soon as it was exposed to the sun, it fell to the ground and struggled and rolled, instantly turning into a pool of black water.
"Is that Bone Mountain..."
He turned his head again, but found that he was thinking too much. The Bone Mountain exposed to the sun was not affected, but there was no fog, and it looked even more oppressive than just one black shadow. Perhaps this was the feeling of disillusionment after turning off the beauty.
However, it did not seem to affect its terrifying combat effectiveness. When the rumbling approached, the three of them could only escape.
The good news is that the fog disappears, and they don’t need to spend time recognizing the way, and the speed is getting faster.
The biggest problem for the three-man team is that Bone Mountain will not be tired, and they still have to travel a long distance, and during this process, they still have to keep moving at full speed.
Fortunately, the mountain with corpses moves very quickly on the plain, but once it encounters a more complicated place or waterway, it needs to be moved and slowed down slightly.
The three of them seemed to be pulling on the tip of a knife. When they saw the Bone Mountain slow down, they took the opportunity to rest for a while. When it accelerated and ran away, they could only say that it was very exciting.
"Fortunately we didn't drag it into the extreme west, otherwise we would have to be chased and ran around the ground." Xu Ling said in pain while walking.
Now is the time for them to rest, but the so-called rest is just to turn running with all your might into walking fast.
"How do you feel for Frig?"
"fine."
The long running time made everyone feel tired, but they could not stop. They should return to the Pass Fortress as soon as possible and use the power of the large army to jointly eliminate the Bone Mountain.
...
Zhu Talan listened to the research conclusions of Li Xian and others in the command center.
"It is confirmed that it is unlikely to use physical means to eliminate fog. It is a companion creature of chaotic energy. As long as the source of the occurrence is not removed, the fog will not disappear."
"What about the antidote? Is there a treatment for those infected?"
"We have developed a method to delay the onset of mutation through Warcraft extracts, but this can only delay a certain amount of time and cannot be eradicated."
"Damn, this is not possible, that is not possible, so just withdraw it." Zhang Yuan muttered dissatisfiedly.
Zhu Talan glanced at him even more dissatisfiedly, and then said to Li Xian: "Thank you for your hard work, just drag it out if you can. Now we can only wait to see if Xu Ling can make a breakthrough."
That being said, his tone was not very confident, and the cause of the fog was unknown. Who knows if that was a problem that could be solved by human resources?
As he was talking, Xu Li suddenly walked in from outside the door, and her tone was still calm: "The fog has dissipated."
But she rarely makes mistakes and even forgot to call her "supervisor". You can imagine how excited she is.
Because her tone was too plain, the people at the command center were stunned for a while before they realized: "What did you say?!"
"Rewards from the reconnaissance forces, the fog at the foot of Nius Mountain suddenly retreated to the west and disappeared completely in sight, for unknown reasons."
Zhu Talan immediately called someone: "Immediately organize people to track the fog, determine its retreat position, and find Xu Ling's whereabouts for support."
Before, they were controlled by the fog and could not send large troops to follow, but now that the fog has dissipated, there is no reason to let Xu Ling fight alone.
Soon, Zhu Talan personally selected a group of middle and high-level warriors, including two other generals and himself.
The large army rushed to the west in a mighty manner, but the road was relatively cautious to prevent the fog from counterattacking.
A day passed.
"We have all arrived in the Billy Mountains, and the fog has not even a shadow at all. It seems that it has really retreated."
"Well, it must be Xu Ling's success."
"Rest for thirty minutes and then move on."
Everyone stopped and started to replenish their food. They had been traveling for a whole day, but they were actually very tired. However, the physical fitness of the warriors was much better than that of ordinary people, and now it was a critical moment, so they naturally had to work harder.
Just as the large army was about to continue moving forward, suddenly a detective came back and said, "Report, there is something wrong in front of you!"
"What's abnormal?" Zhu Talan asked.
"have no idea!"
“…”
"Well, we heard a roar from afar in front of us, but the terrain was not wide and we couldn't see clearly. I'll come back first to warn them, and they will continue to report."
Sure enough, before I finished speaking, someone came to report it again.
"It's Major General Xu Ling. He is running towards us, and he is running fast!"
Lei Ming narrowed his eyes and was puzzled: "What does it mean? Xu Ling ran back, why did he say there was a roar?"
But Zhu Talan was too familiar with this situation: "It must be something behind him chasing him, building a line of defense, and preparing to block it."
