Haig and Payton halted all of a sudden.
The warriors of the Bradley family were bewildered. They also halted and scattered around them, looking at them in astonishment.
Haig's fingers were playing with the Sound Stone. His brows twitched as he wanted to call the other again. However, the Sound Stone was dim. He couldn't contact the other.
Payton had an ugly expression on his face. He furrowed his brows deeply and appeared to be somewhat irritated.
Yu Jia came from the Baramos family. He was at Peak of Ethereal God Realm and his power was intimidating. The warriors of his family were as many as the clouds in the sky. The total competence of his force was much stronger than Mia and Phelps. However, under Yu Jia's leadership, such a force couldn't clear that territory. Instead, they were annihilated...
Payton found it hard to accept.
Hesitating for a while, he looked at Haig and said softly, "Yu Jia is a member of the Baramos family. If his force is annihilated, it will be hard for us to explain. If we can't kill all of them, the Baramos family will blame us. It will be hard to explain. "
Haig squinted and pondered for a while. Then, he nodded and said, "I will give them an explanation."
He quickly contacted Mia and Phelps and asked them to chase after Shi Yan. However, he asked them not to cross the barrier to enter the other territory. They had to wait for him.
Mia and Phelps were puzzled when they heard his message, but they didn't ask for more details. They agreed immediately.
…
By the end of the swamp.
A patch of dark green miasma, as thick as ink, gathered in clusters, like a natural tent, blocking everyone outside.
Mo Fou, Cecilia, Wu Feng, and the others stood in front of the green miasma. Looking at the thick miasma, they couldn't help but frown and look at Sha Zhao instinctively.
Sha Zhao didn't wait for their request. He released many demonic insects and toxic creatures. Those insects rustled and swarmed into the center of the toxic miasma. They started to wander around.
After a while, Sha Zhao's face was dark and gloomy. He frowned and said, "The toxic miasma is really dangerous. It can invade the Sea of Consciousness and numb the soul altar. It can even affect the Ethereal Extent. Behind the toxic miasma is the barrier that connects to the other territory. It's a natural barrier that's hard to break. "
Pausing for a while, Sha Zhao said reluctantly, "All the demonic insects I had released couldn't get through."
"Can the miasma be neutralized?" Wu Feng waved his folding fan impatiently. He walked to the edge of the toxic gas, frowned and observed. He released a wisp of Soul Consciousness to check.
Chi chi chi!
Suddenly, a wisp of smoke appeared in the green miasma area. Wu Feng's face paled as he screamed, "This thing can even affect divine senses!"
"I said that it can intrude the Sea of Consciousness. Of course, it can hurt the Soul Consciousness. I suggest that you guys don't use your Soul Consciousness to check," said Sha Zhao solemnly.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Cecilia asked impatiently.
"I'm good at releasing poison, but I'm not good at detoxification. I can only detoxify the poison on the Gu worms I raise. About the others... I'm afraid I can't do anything, "Sha Zhao shook his head.
Listening to him, everybody was baffled. They looked at Sha Zhao with disdain.
"I'm from the Gu God Sect. We, the Gu God, raise Gu worms. The poison also comes from the Gu worms. We don't refine the poison. You guys should understand this. We're not poison pharmacists!" Sha Zhao said indignantly, his face grimaced.
"What should we do?" Mo Fou stood up, his eyes raking through the Wu brothers, Jiao Shan, Jiao Hai, and Shang Ying Yue. "If you have any good ideas, you should tell us now. We don't have much time."
Everybody frowned and tried to think of a solution. However, at this moment, it seemed like they couldn't get anything. No one proactively stood up.
Everybody put their hope on Sha Zhao. Cecilia said, "Only you know about poisons here. If you can't solve this, I'm afraid we will all be in big trouble."
Everybody nodded with a dark face.
"It's not just me," Ye Zichen said. Under everybody's watchful eyes, Sha Zhao glanced at Shi Yan and said hesitantly, "We don't have the ability to solve it. Unless... you can do it."
Everybody was astounded.
He... knew how to detoxify poison?
"I remember the first time I fought with you, I used the secret technique of the Gu God Sect to poison you. I wanted to invade your soul altar. But... I failed miserably." Sha Zhao took a deep breath and said seriously, "I know you can solve it. If you don't do it, I'm afraid that everybody will die here."
Listening to him, Shang Ying Yue remembered the battle five years ago. Her brows twitched. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Shi Yan with hope.
Affected by Sha Zhao and her countenance, everybody was shaken. They looked at Shi Yan and found that he didn't pay attention to them. He looked absent-minded...
People exchanged looks. They thought that he was using his Soul Consciousness to sense the commotion around. Although they were so anxious, they didn't dare to disturb him.
"No one knows what's on the other side of the barrier. Do you guys want to go there?"
Shi Yan wore an odd countenance as if he had woken up. He frowned and asked.
Through the barrier, he could vaguely feel the strong life energy fluctuation on the other side. However, since they weren't in the same area, his sense was vague. He couldn't tell if it was the Protoss or the warriors from another star area. However, he was a little anxious because that energy fluctuation was so strong that it made his soul palpitate...
"Do we have a better choice?" Cecilia forced a smile.
Everybody nodded.
"Alright, I'm going to open the barrier. Everybody should get in there quickly." He nodded. Before people could react, he had jumped into the thick green miasma and disappeared.
Everyone was astonished and astounded.
"He... knows how to detoxify the miasma?" Cecilia looked at Sha Zhao, her bright eyes surprised. "Why does he know a little bit about everything? You can't break the toxic miasma, but he can? What do you think? "
"Seems... he's done it," Mo Fou dropped his jaw, his face aghast.
Cecilia jerked her head away.
They saw the green toxic miasma that looked like thick clusters of clouds was affected by some strange energy. It thinned and faded at a speed that naked eyes could observe. Gradually, it moved away from them...
Including Sha Zhao and Shang Ying Yue, everybody was baffled as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Wasn't his speed of breaking the miasma too fast?
Swish!
Just like a curtain was torn, a blood red halo flashed. The murderous aura shot up into the sky. A fresh aura came from the front.
It was the sign that the barrier was about to break!
"Get in there quickly!"
ShiYan's shout arose at the right time. Everybody didn't dare to hesitate. Like a bunch of electric lights, their auras quickly disappeared into the swamp.
The green poisonous miasma that had disappeared gradually gathered from other directions, becoming thicker and thinner. After a while, this area returned to its original state, and even the crack in the barrier closed up again, as if nothing had happened.
…
Four hours later …
The three forces of Mia, Phelps, and Haig gathered in this area. They all wore stern faces and looked at the area in front of them. Strange light sparkled in their eyes.
"... That vast forest belongs to Yu Jia." After Haig arrived, he said simply, "But Yu Jia is dead."
Mia, Phelps, and the warriors of their families were dumbstruck. They felt so chilled. They looked at the barrier with fear in their eyes. Some experts of Phelps and the Protoss of Mia's family who were standing close to the barrier couldn't help but take several steps backward. They came to the gathering point.
It seemed like some invisible, terrifying demon was hiding deep inside that green miasma. It made them restless.
"When I contacted Yu Jia, a woman told me the news. She said that Yu Jia and his family were all killed." Haig was still calm. He looked at Mia and Phelps, "What do you think?"
"Yu Jia's force is really strong. He and his family were all killed. It means that the other is much stronger," Mia answered straightforwardly.
Phelps darkened his face. "It seems like we need to discuss more."
"We don't know who is behind the barrier or how strong they are. We shouldn't act rashly. We should gather all of our forces. We have to make sure that nothing can go wrong." Mia pondered for a while and then said, "I think we should contact Harson, that madman."
Haig, Phelps, and the others couldn't help but frown.
"Although there is something wrong with Harson's brain, he and his people are very strong. They are much stronger than Yu Jia. If he comes with us, we will definitely win," Yu Jia said. Mia looked at Haig and said seriously, "I know you and Harson don't get along well. But you suggested this. If we fail, I think you..."
"Don't say anything. You contact Harson. I hope he's not dead yet," Haig waved his hand, his face grimaced.
Mia nodded and took out the Sound Stone.
…
Another part of the ancient continent was a vast sea. Many islands were scattered like stars on the sea. They looked dreamy and beautiful.
From a bird's view, they could see a group of warriors of the Protoss gathering on an island not far from Phelps and Mia. Corpses of the warriors from different clans were scattered on the rocks on the island. There were men and women from different star areas.
A group of warriors of the Protoss was covered in blood. Their eyes were like fanatical believers. They were holding glasses filled with fresh blood and drinking crazily.
In the middle of them, there was a raging flame, and above the flame was a beautiful grill. On the grill, there was a woman's fair, jade-like arm. These crazy fellows drank fresh blood and roasted the woman's arm for fun.
The leader of the group was a skinny young man. His face was filled with madness, and he was dancing as if he was possessed by the devil. His mouth was full of blood, and he was performing a strange dance. He was holding a shiny, diamond-shaped Sound Stone in his palm, and he seemed to be listening carelessly.
"We've just cleaned this area. We're having a party now. I'm not interested in Haig's business. Let him handle it himself. I won't go."
The skinny young man threw the Sound Stone aside and continued to drink blood with his deranged subordinates. He didn't buy it.
