The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 219 - 218 Ghost Fog

At this moment, another Dragon Knight had lost his dream.

Lin Yun looked at the white snake coiled around his wrist, speechless, "How did you turn into this?"

Bai Jiaojiao was no longer in her complete snake form. There were two bulges on her head, and fins on her tail, with some additional small protrusions all over her body, which made her look quite bizarre.

Even so, she didn’t look ugly, her body was as white as jade, which is the principle of ’one whiteness covers up a hundred uglies.’

"That’s a long story."

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Lin Yun, her gaze drifting. She wanted to bite him again and suck some blood—the blood she had consumed earlier made her feel warm and sleepy. So, she closed her eyes and drifted off into sleep.

Lin Yun: "..."

I’m still waiting for the rest of your story, and you just fall asleep like this?

If you want to sleep, fine, but don’t wrap yourself around my body!

Seeing this, Xiao Qing somewhat helplessly said, "The king has been in battle for days on end; she must be exhausted. Allow me to explain what happened."

Previously, Xiao Qing had great respect for Bai Jiaojiao, not only because she and her sister Da Bai had received help from Bai Jiaojiao but also because Bai Jiaojiao was the pride of the snake demons.

It was truly impressive for any snake that could cultivate for a thousand years and transform into a Sea Dragon.

Therefore, in Xiao Qing’s eyes, Bai Jiaojiao had a very lofty image. However, when Bai Jiaojiao expressed her desire not to strive anymore but just to be kept, her idol’s image instantly shattered.

Of course, Xiao Qing still respected Bai Jiaojiao.

"...Anyway, King Diao’s subordinates are chasing us, and we couldn’t just intrude into the Yu Ling Sect’s territory, so we had no choice but to flee to the Misty Forest. Even so, King Diao pursued us relentlessly. Both the king and I had little fighting power left, so we risked venturing deep into this Ghost Fog Forest."

"The Misty Forest?!"

Lin Yun was stunned on the spot. He had thought that perhaps Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing were in distress and had somehow ended up at Cloudcoming Mountain, but Xiao Qing told him that this was the depths of the Misty Forest, the Ghost Fog Forest.

In other words, in just a few steps, he went from near the northern central region to the far south of the Great Zhou.

Is it really just a stone’s throw away?

When he had killed the Jade-Faced Silver Fox, Lin Yun had thought this journey was too ordinary, despite some events, but those were just minor ripples, which didn’t quite fit his pattern of attracting trouble wherever he went. And yet, merely visiting Cloud Rain Rock, he ended up in the Misty Forest.

If Lin Yu found out he was missing, how worried she would be!

And moreover, he didn’t know if Lin Yu, like him, had come to this dangerous place. Fortunately, Lin Yu’s cultivation level was high enough, so he didn’t have to worry about her.

"So you’re saying you’re being pursued and we need to leave quickly, right?"

Lin Yun quickly regained his composure, cleared his thoughts, and knew what his biggest concern should be at the moment.

Being separated from Lin Yu was not a big issue; as long as they could leave this place, they could restore contact with the outside world, but the pursuit of the Demon Tribe was the imminent crisis bearing down on them.

"Indeed, we need to leave as soon as possible, but the greatest danger is not the pursuit itself, but the Ghost Fog Forest."

Xiao Qing knew that Lin Yun probably hadn’t heard of the legends of the Ghost Fog Forest. She explained, "The Ghost Fog Forest is a very special area within the Misty Forest. Like other places, it’s shrouded in mist all year round, which wouldn’t normally be much of a problem. But when the mist turns into a ghost fog that can disturb the five senses, that’s when the danger is hidden within.

Previuosly, countless Spirit Beasts, members of the Human Race, and the Demon Tribe have been lost in the ghost fog. Some have investigated, but those who disappeared left no trace behind. Furthermore, the scope of the ghost fog is mobile, so where the ghost fog appears, humans, demons, and Spirit Beasts all avoid it like the plague. This is why our pursuers haven’t followed us here."

It was only thanks to the sudden appearance of the ghost fog that Xiao Qing and Bai Jiaojiao avoided a dead end and potential death at the hands of their own kind.

In that perilous moment, Xiao Qing and Bai Jiaojiao had no choice but to enter the ghost fog.

Entering the ghost fog there was a chance of survival. Some who entered have even managed to come out unharmed. There was no special method of survival; it all came down to luck.

"Speaking of which, how did you end up here?"

Xiao Qing also found it strange, was Lin Yun’s arrival just too coincidental?

Could it really be as Bai Jiaojiao said, "A match made a thousand miles away is connected by a thread"?

"I came from Cloud Rain Rock on Cloudcoming Mountain, and I’m quite perplexed as well."

Lin Yun had no intention of concealing this from her; such basic information was not worth hiding.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, realizing there was a way to get into the Ghost Fog Forest without going through the Misty Forest.

"So you’re saying that those missing demons, spirit beasts, and people might also have been taken to other places by the ghost fog."

Xiao Qing wasn’t foolish and came to this obvious conclusion; she relaxed slightly and said, "If that’s the case, then the Ghost Fog Forest might not be as dangerous as it seems."

She had been on edge the whole time before, worried about being attacked in the mist, but Lin Yun’s close proximity alone was enough to prove that she would have no chance to react if danger struck.

Now, she finally relaxed a little.

Lin Yun, however, was not as optimistic.

According to Xiao Qing’s words, those who entered the Ghost Fog Forest either disappeared or walked out unscathed.

If disappearing equates to being taken to a certain place, Lin Yun believed his chances of being teleported were a hundred percent.

I’m just setting up a flag here; if you dare, let me walk out!

"You said the legends of the Ghost Fog Forest have been around for many years. Throughout these years, countless strong individuals from the human race, Demon Tribe, and spirit beasts have entered it. Why hasn’t a single one of the missing returned? Clearly, the greatest danger lies in that unknown place."

Xiao Qing: "..."

Can’t you let me be happy for a bit longer?

"So what do we do now?"

Bai Jiaojiao had fallen into a deep sleep, and Xiao Qing was momentarily at a loss.

Lin Yun, however, was quite calm and said, "Simple, first we adjust our condition to be battle-ready, then we make a move."

Before battling monsters, we should fill up our mana and health, organize our equipment, then at least we’ll have done our best, win or lose.

"I haven’t suffered any injuries, a brief period of breath regulation should do. But the King has now degenerated into her juvenile phase, and besides biting, she no longer has any combat capability. Moreover, she is a non-venomous snake."

To put it bluntly, Bai Jiaojiao has now effectively become a useless snake.

"Eh? Your King seems to have grown a bit larger."

Earlier, when chatting with Xiao Qing, Lin Yun hadn’t paid attention. Now that they were talking about Bai Jiaojiao, he looked down and saw that the little white snake, which used to be as thick as a finger, had grown to the thickness of a cucumber. Not only that, but the two bumps on her head had also sprouted tiny horns.

Xiao Qing: "..."

Is this growing a bit?

This is growing a whole size!

She remembered how Bai Jiaojiao had bitten Lin Yun, then not long after began hibernating, followed by rapid growth.

Could it be...

Xiao Qing bit her lip.

Is this the experience of not making an effort?
