Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 451 The Uncertain Fog Is the Source of Pollution

Hobert frowned tightly. He didn't know whether the little boy became like this because of the pollution, or the strange fish became like this.

The "little boy" began to dive immediately after seeing that Hobart could fly.

Hobert dived into the water and chased after him. Because he was wearing the "Ocean Pendant", he quickly caught the strange fish.

But the body of the strange fish was too slippery, so Hobert had no choice but to dunk both hands into the skin and flesh of the strange fish.

Hobert wears an "Ocean Pendant", even if it is a fish that lives underwater, it is not his opponent.

He dragged the strange fish, struggled to swim to the shore, and then threw the strange fish onto the shore.

Even the "red gloves" who often deal with extraordinary cases are surprised after seeing the appearance of the strange fish.

This fish is a bit like a grouper that grows alone, but behind its two eyes, it grows the upper body of a seven or eight-year-old boy.

At this point the little boy yelled, "I can't get out of the water, I, I'm suffocating, I'm suffocating!"

It can be seen that the "little boy" seems to have no bones, and his arms are limp, but in the water, it is enough to distinguish the real one from the real one!

Leonard pulled Hobert who was going ashore, and he whispered, "I didn't expect you to have so many magical items on you."

It is difficult to catch this strange fish without the extraordinary items of the "sailor" path.

Hobert smiled and said, "Not many, just one or two."

Leonard pouted ungentlemanly, expressing that he did not believe such nonsense.

Daly immediately began to question the strange fish: "Answer my question well, and I'll put you back in the water."

This strange fish may only have the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child, and immediately shouted: "Quickly ask, quickly ask, I, I'm almost out of breath!"

"How did you become like this?"

"It's all because of that evil white mist a few days ago!"

Hobert then asked, "What's in the white mist?"

"I, I seem to see the shadow of a wolf!"

Hobert was taken aback: "Do you know what a wolf is?"

"I have fragments of memories of the people I ate!"

Hobert pondered for a while: "I remember the high-level Extraordinary creatures of the 'Seer' pathway, basically they all have the appearance of wolves!"

Hobert also didn't know if it was because of Fregella's genes?Or was it a group of wolves that accommodated the Extraordinary characteristics of the "Seer" in the first season?
Then he recalled the letter Selena wrote to himself, the pattern of letters was a wolf's head.

At this time Leonard suddenly said: "The magic wolf of the fog!"

Hobert was taken aback, this should be another reminder from the old man!
Daly has the authority to read the relevant information, so she explained to the other team members: "The 'Demon Wolf of Mist' is an extraordinary creature known for its weirdness and changeability, and it is said that its strength is higher than that of demigods.

"It has the ability to control secret puppets, and has extremely strong anti-divination and anti-reconnaissance capabilities."

Hobert thought about it for a while, and seemed to have no impression of the process by which Mr. Ke obtained this main material.

"The information is getting clearer!" Daly said: "The source of pollution is a 'Fog Demon Wolf', and its condition may be very bad now, close to out of control!"

Daly pondered for a while: "We must find a way to let the tourists here escape as soon as possible!"

While identifying the source of pollution, Daly also determined that this is not a problem that members of the "Red Gloves" in the villa can solve, so her mission was completely changed from solving the source of pollution to saving the tourists here.

At this time, screams came from the direction of the villa.

Daly immediately ordered everyone to go back and check.

The monster on the ground shouted: "Hey, hey, you promised to put me back in the water."

"So much that I forgot about you." Daly grabbed the strange fish, and the strange fish screamed, and soon lost its vitality.

Daly kicked the fish into the water: "I fulfilled my promise and put you back into the water. But I didn't say whether I put you back into the water alive or dead."

Hobert, who was walking at the end, smiled. At least he told "Kelp" that he had lied. Daly planned to "fulfill the promise in another way" from the beginning.

There is still a distance from the villa. Everyone saw a huge moth flying in the midair of the villa. Its wings sprinkled a lot of ash powder. People who inhaled the dust in the yard of the villa seemed to be asleep. , fell to the ground.

There was also a gigantic moth that flew low in the air and was so powerful that it could throw a man a long way.

Soon there were no injuries in the courtyard, and those who did not inhale the ashes fled into the hall.

The two moths aimed at Da Li and the others who had just entered the villa. They all took out their revolvers and were about to shoot, but Leonard suddenly shouted: "That's, that's Hunter!"

Only then did everyone realize that there was a human face under the long tentacles and big compound eyes on the moth's head.

Hobert could vaguely discern that they looked like one of the two "Red Gloves" members he had rescued!

"Shoot!" Daly ordered.

bang bang bang~
Under the attack of the "Demon Hunting Bullets", two "moths" fell to the ground, making painful hissing sounds.

The members of the "Red Gloves" pointed their guns at a "moth". They hesitated a little, but finally pulled the trigger together!

At this time, everyone stepped forward to check, and finally confirmed that this was the two team members who had been rescued by Hobert before and could not wake up after fainting.

Daly asked Hobert: "You said before that you rescued them from the cocoon, right?"

"Yes." Hobert said: "They should have suffered serious pollution at that time, but the pollution seems to be difficult to detect."

Not only Hobert, but even Daly and the others didn't notice any signs of contamination from the two companions.

The companion who was rescued by Hobert became like this. The other two team members who asked for help should have been in danger. Daly ordered the two team members to take another carriage to ask for help.
At this time Leonard asked: "Should we all retreat? Wait for a higher level of assistance?"

Daly shook her head: "I brought 1-068, even if we encounter a source of pollution, we still have the strength to fight."

But it is best if there is no direct conflict.

After two more team members left, only Daly, Leonard, and a Sequence 7 named Jess were left as members of the "Red Gloves" in the villa.

At this time, the tourists who fled to the hall just now came out to check the situation. They were all incredulous when they saw such a big moth.

Daly asked Jess to deal with the tourists and organized the tourists to rescue the injured.

She took a brief rest with Leonard and Hobert, and then went to the third suspicious location.

At this time, Hobert had no hope of saving Selena. She might have entered the pine forest, or she might be in the village on the other side of the mountain. Either way, she had either turned into a moth, or had been seriously injured. pollute.

But since I've already checked two suspicious locations, it's not bad to go to the last location to find out more information.

After entering the pine forest, the surroundings seemed to be quiet immediately, or there was no breath of life here.

There are many cocoons of different sizes on and under the tree.

Hobert cut open two of them with a knife. Some of the cocoons were humans and some were beasts. Logically speaking, these corpses should have lost their lives in the past few days, but without exception, they were all highly decomposed, and the corpses were gray and brown. Many dense gray moth larvae drilled out from under the skin.

Hobert suddenly thought of those gray moths that had landed on the hunting team, and he felt a little sick.

Suddenly, Hobert's scalp felt cold, and he felt extreme danger. He stabbed into the air, but nothing was stabbed.

Then he looked up and saw a pair of huge eyes.

Hobart suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if he saw a strange brilliance from the dense canopy. The brilliance was very dazzling and charming, and almost attracted all of Hobert's attention.

With the last trace of concentration, Hobert injected spirituality into the "Order Crystal" on the cane, and a black shield immediately appeared around him.

At this moment, Hobart seemed to have lost all vision. Almost instinctively, Hobert threw himself on the ground and rolled over, his sight became dim again.

A gray moth the size of a rhinoceros landed beside the three of them. Its tail had a structure like a scorpion's tail, and it was stabbing at Hobert just now. Fortunately, Hobert used the "Order Crystal" to use the " The power of "Nation of Disorder" freed himself from the state of hallucinations.

Seeing that Hobert was about to wake up, the moth quickly flapped its wings to take off. Hobert rushed over in three steps at a time, and chopped off its "scorpion tail" with one knife.

Then the blade went up and cut a hole in its stomach.

In the moth's "Zizizi" cry, Hobert used "Lightning Strike" again, hitting the moth's head.

The moth fell to the ground, but it still didn't die.

A scalp-numbing "buzzing" sound immediately sounded around. Hobert, Daly and Leonard who woke up from the hallucination found that they were surrounded by countless moths, and some of these moths were normal moths. Some are as big as cats and dogs!
"Golden clouds are flying over the still earth; the vast silent fields are shining with dewdrops!"

As Leonard recited the verse in a melodious voice, there were circles of unseen quiet waves around, and most of the gray moths became calm, or folded their wings and fell to the ground from midair.

Hobert saw the timing, and chopped off the head of the giant gray moth struck by lightning!

The gray moth's six legs and wings were struggling desperately, as if its vitality had grown stronger.

Hobert saw the pair of wings with huge eyes again, and the eyes were on a pair of hind wings. Even if Hobert was mentally prepared, he felt a little in a trance.

He quickly cut off the pair of wings with a knife, so that the pattern of the wings faced the ground.

"Many times I would lament the endurance of life." A voice suddenly appeared from the tree branch behind Hobert and others.

That was Harold, and of course the three people under the tree knew that it must be a fake Harold.

Then Hobert had doubts about his spirituality and ability. The hallucination attack of the giant gray moth just now made both Sequence 5s fall for it.

Now a person suddenly appeared behind them, and Hobert and Daly didn't notice it again.

Harold said: "That was an ordinary gray moth, taking advantage of the chance of one in a hundred thousand, or even one in a million, to survive the initial stage of being polluted.

"Later, I discovered that it has the ability to absorb pollution, and its descendants also have this ability, so I simply tricked some people into this forest to raise them and absorb the pollution on my body.

"It turns out that it has the ability to hallucinate. It doesn't have Extraordinary characteristics, but its wings are like a magic circle, which can make people hallucinate.

"And the power it drives this magic circle is the pollution absorbed from me. The personality is quite high, and all angels and below will be affected by this illusion circle."

He paused and smiled again: "You guys helped me a lot, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

Harold looked at Hobart, obviously very interested in the thing that can isolate such a high level of pollution on Hobart.

Hobert guessed, "Are you the tainted fog wolf?"

"It seems that you have obtained a lot of information about me." Harold admitted generously: "Yes, it is me."

Hobert asked, "Do you know Selina from Tingen?"

"That's a very inspired little girl." Harold, or the magic wolf of the mist, said: "I told her to let her run into the woods, but she didn't fully believe me, but chose to go Flee in the other direction.

"She has been wandering on the mountain, but she has not escaped my control until now, and has been subject to my pollution."

Hobert didn't expect that the little girl was quite clever: "Why don't you turn all the people here into secret puppets? Instead, you simply trick them?"

"If you become my secret puppet, you will have a close connection with me, and the pollution may return." Harold said: "So I will only briefly link your spiritual lines and transfer the pollution For you guys."

Hobert asked again: "Has this method worked?"

"Very successful." Harold smiled and said, "The pollution on my body has basically been passed on!"

"How did you become contaminated?"

"do not know."

Hobert was taken aback: "I don't know? You don't know at your level and ability?"

"I have received some revelations, but I can't interpret them." Harold shook his head: "But I can be sure that this is a very advanced pollution."

Harold thought for a while and said: "Before I was polluted, I got a small bottle of white mist, which is said to contain the ultimate secret of the Trensost Empire.

"But the next day, the mist in the bottle disappeared, and I was polluted. Thinking about it, I should be polluted because of this."

Hobert revealed a very interested expression: "The ultimate secret of the Trensost Empire?"

Harold smiled: "Although your chances of surviving are slim, I still can't tell you the details."

"How are you going to kill us?"

"I don't need to do anything, this pollution will soon cause you to show signs of getting out of control." Harold said: "The people you send out for help, they have no way to leave the barrier I set up.

"You must say that one of your colleagues named Harold escaped from here."

Seeing "Harold" talk about Harold, everyone felt a little awkward.

"Harold" said with a sinister smile, "I let him go on purpose.

"If none of them have escaped, the Evernight Goddess Church will definitely organize a stronger team to deal with me, and it is very likely that they will send a demigod.

"And if someone escapes, they will just send a relatively elite 'Red Gloves' team.

"In this way, I can buy some time. When the people of the Evernight Goddess Church notice something is wrong and send the second batch of reinforcements, it will be at least two days later."

In the past two days, Hobert and the others had already turned into monsters due to the pollution.

This made Hobert sigh: It really is the "old Yinbi" approach!This is just a magical beast in this path, and all the tricks are so smooth.

Then Hobert tentatively said: "I have the ability to 'travel', you can't trap me!"

Harold smiled: "Didn't you notice? Since you approached the villa, you used 'travel' twice in the next two times only to appear on the mountain opposite the villa, and did not leave five kilometers away!
"You have been polluted, which is equivalent to planting a psychological hint, and you can't escape!"

Hobert asked again: "What about the village on the other side of the hill you mentioned?"

He flexed his wrist as he asked the question, as if he had been injured in a fight with the giant gray moth.

"Not bad, you actually noticed what happened in that village!" Harold laughed and said, "If your condition is normal, I plan to turn you into my secret puppet!"

Hobert understood: "That's your 'Secret Puppet Village'!"

"It's not anymore. They started to worship a god from the depths of the universe during this pollution." Harold said: "I have cut off all contact with all the secret puppets, and they have become living corpses with certain intelligence, but Their remaining intelligence is limited to belief in that evil god.

"It is their nature to prey on living people. After losing my restraint, they will find food by themselves."

And for those living corpses, Bokron Villa is the largest "food garden" around.

Hobert nodded: "In other words, you won't turn me into a secret puppet, right?"

Harold raised his head: "It should be said that you no longer have the qualifications to be my secret puppet."

"Then I'm relieved." Hobert smiled and said, "I'll show you something nice."

He suddenly lifted the oil painting!

When Hobert was moving his wrist just now, the other hand was untying the rope on the oil painting.

Daly and Leonard, who were closer, also noticed this, so when Hobert lifted the oil painting, Daly already had a necklace with a huge black pearl in his hand.

The surroundings instantly darkened, as if the night had come suddenly, and the Mist Demon Wolf fell into a half-asleep and half-awake state.

The Mist Demon Wolf originally had time to switch positions with the secret puppet, even under the attack of a level 1 sealed item, so it stood there so reassuringly as if showing off its masterpiece. talk.

But what it didn't expect was that at the moment when it was about to replace with the secret puppet, its mind suddenly went blank, as if the idea of ​​replacing the position with the secret puppet had been stolen.

If it was in the past, it would not use its body to meet Hobert and the others, but today he has just severed contact with those secret puppets before, and is at a stage where there are no normal secret puppets that he can transform into human form.

When the Mist Demon Wolf regained consciousness, it had already been affected by "1-068", and its heart became very peaceful, and it would fall into a deep sleep almost immediately.

The Mist Demon Wolf is also very strange. Among these three people, there are obviously no Extraordinary from the "Thief" path, nor do they have any sealed items from this path. How could my thoughts just disappear?
Hobert already understood that it was the grandfather in Leonard who made the move, because he didn't bring the semi-god-level "thief" pathway sealed item of "1-101".

While half asleep and half awake, the Mist Demon Wolf saw a wonderful landscape painting, which made it sigh: "What a wonderful landscape!"

The monster with the eye on the chest appeared, and Hobert noticed that its skin had turned black, and the curse it issued was also significantly strengthened.

It seems that Fabuti only came once in this dream, and it strengthened the oil painting to a certain extent.

The Mist Demon Wolf finally regained consciousness. He tried his best to display his abilities, and finally switched places with a Flying Gray Moth Secret Puppet hundreds of meters away.

In the end, the curse of the monster fell on a gray moth, and the magic wolf of fog that had been on the branch disappeared without a trace.

Hobert hurried forward and killed the monster with one blow, and the shadow of the monster turned into nothingness.

Picking up the oil painting, he said, "The guys in the 'Seer' path are just so hard to kill." He also wrapped those two wings into the oil painting.

Hobert didn't expect to be able to kill the magic wolf of mist with one blow. It was considered a high incense to be able to successfully mark the magic wolf's spirituality.

Daly also knew that now was not the time to hunt down the Mist Demon Wolf: "We must make some preparations before the Mist Demon Wolf's secret puppet arrives at the villa."

Hobert nodded: "Go back first, I'll go find Selena."

Before Daly and the others answered, Hobert had already used his "low flying" ability to fly out of the canopy, searching for Selena on the mountain.

After more than ten minutes, Hobert finally found Selena who was already exhausted and was sitting on a rock to rest.

Seeing Hobert who had changed back to her own form descending from the sky, Selena said happily: "Teacher! I knew you would come to save me!"

Hobert smiled, the main purpose of coming to Ruen this time was finally achieved.

Just as he was about to take Selena away with "Travel", Hobert suddenly saw an abstract symbol drawn in the snow. The symbol consisted of zigzag vertical and horizontal lines, and several dots.

Hobert's eyes froze. He was familiar with this symbol, but he couldn't recall the relevant information.

Selena noticed that Hobert's eyes were different from just now, and she explained: "It was a symbol I saw in a dream, and I don't know why it was so impressive, so I couldn't help but stretched out my hand to draw it several times."

"You wait here!" Hobart hid behind a big tree with two "flashes", and immediately after entering the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert instantly "recalled" the relevant memories: " Uncertain fog!"

Hobert finally understood. It turned out that it was the "fog of uncertainty" that polluted the magic wolf of the fog, and the source of the pollution was the bottle of white mist.

It's no wonder that even the level of the Mist Demon Wolf couldn't divination the source of the pollution, only knowing that the level of pollution is very high.

Hobert finally understood why the white mist that polluted his spiritual body would directly merge into the "Nation of Disorder", because the "Fog of Uncertainty" controlled the part of the "Nation of Disorder" in the starry sky. The "Nation of Disorder" has the same source, so the pollution is just some nutrients for the "Nation of Disorder".
