Surrounding the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester were a dozen or so demonic formations of various sizes. Han Shuo only recognized two of these demonic formations: the Pentacloud Miasma and the Black Gale of Doom. These two demonic formations were connected to each other and formed an intersection leading to the center of the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester. Han Shuo walked into the intersection formed by these two demonic formations.
Han Shuo's heroic spirit was greatly appreciated by Olde and he praised Han Shuo profusely.
At first, Donna was still hesitant and undecided as to whether or not she should enter immediately. But when she discovered that Han Shuo was one step ahead of them and had already entered one of the intersections, she finally made up her mind. She nodded at Bolten, Li Wei, and the others behind her and quickly followed after him.
Just as Olde had said, their main purpose of traveling thousands of miles from Elysium was to explore that mysterious place and see what kind of miraculous things were hidden inside. It was fine to hesitate for a moment, but they had to take the risk in the end.
Han Shuo was the first to enter the Pentacloud Miasma. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the murky air in the periphery. He sensed the nature of the miasma and began to ponder in silence.
Donna led Bolten, Bowen, and the others to Han Shuo's side. She gave Han Shuo a few strange glances and felt that the way Han Shuo was meditating with his eyes closed was very strange.
Donna was puzzled. She gestured for Han Shuo to stop and softly asked, "Brian, are you alright?"
Han Shuo opened his eyes, smiled, and shook his head. He looked at Olde, Kaiser, and the others who were standing not far away and said, "Let's go!"
Han Shuo planned to infuriate Kaiser, Eriksson, and the others so that they would follow him into the Pentacloud Miasma. However, on second thought, he realized that in order to enter the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester, he would have to pass through two or three demonic formations. Even if they didn't follow him into the Pentacloud Miasma, they would still have to pass through some other demonic formations.
The demonic formations around the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Spirit Harvester should be similar in power. Since no one could avoid it, Han Shuo didn't need to take the unnecessary step of forcing those people to go with him.
"Well, be careful. This place is very strange. Don't be careless and get trapped here!" Donna warned.
No matter how careful he was, it was difficult to avoid falling into the formation. Han Shuo knew this in his heart, so he didn't care about Donna's words at all. He just carefully observed the surrounding situation, and according to his own understanding, he was looking for a way to get out of the Pentacloud Miasma.
In less than ten steps, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Colorful poisonous miasma flooded in from all directions in an instant. The poisonous miasma must have been refined using a special method. It was extremely corrosive. As soon as the poisonous miasma came out, a strange squeaking sound could be heard in the air.
"Careful, don't let your skin come into contact with the poisonous miasma!" Han Shuo hastily cried out in alarm.
If there were no enemies like Olde and Kaiser, Han Shuo might not have cared about the lives of Bolten and the others. However, at present, they could be considered to have a common enemy. If Bolten and the others could stay alive, they would have a slight upper hand in the upcoming battle. With them fighting Kaiser and the others at the front, Han Shuo could ensure his own safety.
Han Shuo's cry of alarm caused those people to shriek. The acidic aura of the colorful miasma was very obvious. As though they were facing a great enemy, they deployed various means to form protective barriers around their bodies. Li Wei, Donna, and Bowen seemed to have used divine weapons to completely cover their bodies, preventing the poisonous miasma from invading. Bolten and Colbert, on the other hand, had released their divine energies to form a protective layer to protect their bodies from harm.
When the colorful miasma came into contact with the protective layer formed by Bolten and Colbert's divine energies, faint smoke began to rise from their bodies.
"What a powerful acidic miasma!" Bolten was greatly shocked and could not help but shriek.
"Oh, this thing is so evil. Even my protective divine weapon is corroding. We must get out of here as soon as possible!" Li Wei also cried out after Bolten.
The miasma had been refined using a special method and could corrode anything. It was even more difficult to protect one's physical body. If not for the fact that Bolten and the others had used the same method to cover their bodies, their skin and bones would have rotted away and they would have turned into puddles of blood.
Han Shuo also acted as though he was facing a great enemy. He hastily deployed a protective shield. An oval-shaped shield as thin as a cicada's wing enveloped his entire body.
With the protective shield powered by demonic yuan, Han Shuo was as steady as Mount Tai. He was not corroded by the colorful miasma in the slightest.
Astonished, Han Shuo suddenly felt that something was amiss. According to the description of the Pentacloud Miasma in Chu Canglan's memories, the miasma in this place would corrode anything and there were very few things that could be avoided. Even protective shields were not immune to the corrosion of the miasma.
However, when he deployed his protective shield, the poisonous miasma with terrifying corrosive power actually didn't corrode his protective shield at all. This greatly surprised Han Shuo, and he didn't know what was going on.
After pondering for a moment, Han Shuo suddenly thought of a possibility. Did the person who deployed the Pentacloud Miasma tamper with the miasma when refining it? That was why his protective shield was immune to it.
"Eh? Why, why isn't there smoke rising from his body?" Li Wei cried out in surprise again. She pointed at Han Shuo with a strange expression.
Following Li Wei's gaze, Donna, Bolten, and the others all wore strange expressions. They were either protected by divine weapons or forcibly supported by divine energy, but they could not escape the corrosion of the miasma. Smoke curled up from their bodies, making them appear as ethereal as immortals.
On the other hand, Han Shuo's body was shrouded in a layer of faint black light and was no longer corroded by the miasma. He stood out from the crowd.
"Brian, why, why aren't you corroded by the miasma?" Donna asked in astonishment.
"Erm, I've cultivated in an unorthodox energy. For some reason, I can actually avoid the corrosion of the miasma!" Han Shuo replied with a smile. He knew that these people would not let the matter rest if he did not give an explanation.
"Ah, interesting, interesting!" Li Wei giggled. Soon after, she said in a very natural manner, "There's still some space over there. Let me in too. My treasure cannot be destroyed by this vile miasma!"
Upon finishing those words, Li Wei cheerfully walked towards Han Shuo, disregarding whether Han Shuo agreed or not. She arrived before Han Shuo and was about to force her way in.
"There's no more space. Sorry!" Han Shuo did not like Li Wei. As she flew towards him, with one thought, the spacious protective shield around him shrank by a large margin.
"There was clearly more space just now!" Li Wei knew that Han Shuo did it on purpose. She glared at Han Shuo and said angrily.
"There clearly wasn't!" Han Shuo lied through his teeth with a straight face.
"Stop fooling around. We should leave this place as soon as possible. It won't do any of us any good if we stay here for too long. This miasma is a little too terrifying!" Donna chided with a frown. She then led the way at a very fast speed.
Everyone knew that Donna was right. Bolten and Colbert, who did not have divine weapons to protect their bodies, were depleting their divine energy with every passing second. They could not wait to leave this dreadful place. The two of them were also the fastest and closely followed behind Donna.
Ten minutes later.
Beads of sweat appeared on Donna's forehead. She became visibly anxious and said, "What's going on? Why haven't we gotten out of this godforsaken place? We are moving so fast. We should have reached the end of the thousand-mile journey by now. Why are we still here? "
The Pentacloud Miasma consisted of the miasma gas and the Pentacloud Illusory Formation. The miasma gas was mainly used for attacking and corroding everything that entered it. The Pentacloud Illusory Formation was an exquisite illusory formation that made it difficult for those who did not understand the illusory formation to leave.
The miasma gas was extremely corrosive. It was depleting the artifacts and energy of those who entered it with every passing second. If one stayed in this place for too long, no matter how many divine weapons or divine energy one had, they would eventually be exhausted. If one could not get out of the illusory formation before then, the final outcome would be to turn into a puddle of blood!
Donna was well aware of this and that was why she was in such a hurry to leave.
However, it did not make sense that they had not managed to get out of the thousand-meter zone after ten minutes! This made Donna realize that there was something fishy about this. Unfortunately, she did not understand the mysteries of the formation and could only worry helplessly. She knew that something was wrong but she could not do anything about it. That feeling of helplessness and frustration, coupled with the constant pressure brought by the passage of time, made Donna unable to calm down.
"Brian, I beg you, please let me in! My divine weapon cannot be corroded any further, or it will really be destroyed! "Li Wei started to panic. Her tone was no longer as confrontational as it was in the past and she started to plead with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo remained unmoved as though he did not hear Li Wei's pleas at all.
"Brian, if it is possible, please let her in." Although Donna was distraught, her good upbringing did not cause her to lose her rationality. She pleaded with Han Shuo on Li Wei's behalf.
Ever since Donna arrived on Profound Continent, she had shown due respect and importance to Han Shuo. She had even been speaking up for Han Shuo. Han Shuo had no choice but to return the favor. Therefore, Han Shuo who had been ignoring Li Wei finally nodded after hearing Donna's words. He slightly expanded his protective shield and used his two hands to create a slit that would allow one person to pass through.
Li Wei was overjoyed. She gracefully flew past the slit that Han Shuo could create and stuck close to Han Shuo.
"Oh, there seems to be some space!" Donna softly exclaimed. She put on a pleasant smile and said to Han Shuo, "Brian, I think it won't be a problem to add one more person!"
Han Shuo was speechless.
"Since you're not saying anything, that means you agree! I thank you in advance! " Donna pursed her lips into a smile. She was the second person to enter Han Shuo's protective shield after Li Wei and similarly stuck close to him.
"No, there's no more space!" When Han Shuo saw that Bolten, Bowen, Colbert, and Bolten were all looking at him with scorching gazes, he hastily tried to shrink his protective shield while at the same time preventing them from entering.
The shrinking of Han Shuo's protective shield caused Li Wei to make a big fuss. She hastily leaned even closer to Han Shuo. In order to avoid exposing herself to the poisonous gas, Donna had no choice but to stick close to Han Shuo as well.
With that, Han Shuo remained motionless while the two women threw themselves at him, allowing him to enjoy the bliss of being surrounded by multiple lovers.
Meanwhile, outside the protective shield, Bolten, Bowen, Colbert, and Bolten had to endure the poisonous gas's assault at all times. Bolten and Colbert, especially, were using their divine energy to sustain themselves. Their faces were flushed red and they looked extremely miserable.
On Han Shuo's side, the beauties threw themselves at him as though they were afraid that they wouldn't be close enough. On the other hand, Bolten and the other two were miserably resisting the poisonous gas's corrosion. They were in agony every second.
The difference in treatment between the two parties was simply too great. One was heaven and the other was hell!
"There's something strange about this place. I can't find a way to leave this place for the time being, but the poisonous gas's corrosion hasn't stopped. Bolten, Bowen, Colbert, it might be troublesome for you to stay here. Why don't you go back the way you came? We'll call you back when we find the exit!" Donna appeared very apologetic. But she had to say that for the sake of the three.
The three's faces were full of bitterness as they looked at Han Shuo, who was enjoying the bliss of having multiple lovers. They clenched their teeth and were about to turn back when they suddenly heard Han Shuo shout, "No!"
"You, you brat, don't go too far. Are you only satisfied if we stay here and die from the poisonous gas?!" Bolten was furious. If it weren't for Donna, he would have dragged Han Shuo out to suffer together with him! Seeing Han Shuo hugging the beauties left and right, he was filled with rage.
"Brian, they'll die if they stay here!" Donna was also a little surprised. She turned her head with some difficulty, her red lips very close to Han Shuo's ear as she spoke.
"They'll die if they go back. Haven't you noticed that we've been circling around the same area all along?! In my opinion, there's no way out once we've entered this place. I can guarantee that even if they go back, they will never find the end! " Han Shuo shouted coldly. He knew that these people did not understand the strangeness of the demonic formation. They were naive enough to think that they could turn back and retreat if the situation turned bad.
"Wha, what? We've been circling around the same path! " Li Wei cried out in alarm beside Han Shuo's ear. Her voice was extremely high-pitched and sharp, scaring Han Shuo so much that his protective shield began to sway. Li Wei and Donna hastily grabbed one of Han Shuo's arms and stuck close to him, fearing that they would leave the protective shield.
After being reminded by Han Shuo, Donna, who was the strongest among them, carefully recalled and suddenly mumbled, "That, that seems to be the case!"
"There's no way out once we've entered! We have no choice but to walk out. Otherwise, we'll all die! "Han Shuo said coldly.
Upon hearing those words, the faces of Bolten and the others who still had hope of leaving turned ashen.
"If you observe carefully, you'll notice that this place filled with colorful miasma has some peculiar patterns. I think that as long as I can find the right pattern, I should be able to leave this place! "Han Shuo suddenly put on a faint smile when he saw their faces filled with despair and panic.
