The world of beauty drama begins with the surrender of Jason

Chapter 389 The First Battle
The fog was boundless and white, with extremely low visibility. At first glance, it seemed as if the entire world was swallowed up by it.

On the deserted country road, a large number of vehicles were collided with each other in all directions like building blocks thrown away by naughty children, as if a serious chain reaction had occurred not long ago.

However, what was puzzling was that there was no trace of any passengers, not even blood or corpses.

Two figures were as swift as the wind, nimbly dodging an overturned truck.

"How pitiful, another wave." Zhu Mingyao gently kicked the twisted cab beside him and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Along the way, this kind of scene has occurred more than once, where the residents who noticed something unusual fled in panic, but failed to win in this life-and-death race.

As for where the missing persons have gone, the torn pieces of clothing and scattered personal belongings under their feet may provide a dark and cruel answer.

Zhu Mingyao stared at the front intently, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed three or four reconnaissance methods in an instant, but all failed.

A strange and powerful energy permeated the surroundings, like an invisible solid barrier, blocking his perception ability. Even his sharpest divine eye seemed powerless at this moment, and could only barely penetrate a distance of more than 100 meters, making it difficult to distinguish things.

And in the distance beyond this range, groups of greedy and bloodthirsty auras are lurking and lingering. Even ordinary people without any extraordinary powers can vaguely sense the naked malice.

Bai Ziyuan took out the soul-gathering banner, formed hand seals, closed his eyes and cast a spell. The cinnabar talisman swayed along with the skeleton's bones, and illusory shadows whizzed around in a circle, and then his face became gloomy.

"Only a little bit of resentment before death remains. Its flesh, blood and soul have been completely devoured. Not even a hair is left. Ordinary monsters don't have such a good appetite!"

He frowned and added, "The fog also has a subtle suppression effect on ghosts and spirits. If they are too far away, they will be like wandering around in a maze."

"Is this a ghost encountering a ghost wall? Sure enough, there is something strange in the fog..." Zhu Mingyao told a dry joke, and waved his five fingers in the air. The bright golden light protecting the two people's bodies opened a gap, and a wisp of misty white mist couldn't wait to drill in, and was immediately pinched in his hand.

He used his true Qi to try to sense it, and a moist and cool breath came back to him, as if he had touched another unknown world. This was very different from the feeling of ordinary water vapor evaporation.

But the abnormality is limited to this, and it seems to pose no additional harm to humans themselves.

Zhu Mingyao hesitated for a moment, tilted his head towards his companion, and said, "You brought blood food to feed the ghosts, right? Give me a piece."

Bai Ziyuan did not ask any further questions about this abrupt request. He just raised his eyebrows, obviously thinking of something.

The skinless and boneless hind leg of the cow hit the sandy ground, the bright red muscle texture trembled slightly, and a little half-dried blood slowly dripped down, like a drop of sticky water, hanging on the edge of the tendon and dangling.

The seemingly harmless mist enveloped them, and the fresh flesh and blood that was good enough for a barbecue suddenly withered and changed color rapidly. In just a few breaths, it was shattered into pieces, along with the thick leg bone, and turned into fine ash, which mixed into the soil and could no longer be distinguished.

Bai Ziyuan sneered and whistled: "It only reacts to dead biological tissues, which is quite gentle."

"To be more precise, it should be the things inside that eat the meat, and the strange fog that drinks the soup." He pointed to the sign on the side of the road and said, "Don't waste time entangled with them. Let's search for survivors first. Changhu Town is almost here. I hope we can get here in time."

A scarlet flame shot through the mist like an arrow, leading the two men forward.

Moving at full speed, several kilometers passed by in a flash, and hazy buildings appeared at the end of the field of vision.

At the entrance of the town, several cars were overturned, their alloy bodies torn into pieces by the huge force. An electric pole was broken in the middle, revealing bent steel bars, as if something had been guarding this place, preventing residents from escaping.

"...the scratches on the shells and the tiny holes caused by the irregular spikes, they look more like insects than the claws of ferocious beasts like lions and tigers..."

Although he usually looks like a young master, he is actually a practical fighter trained by his family since he was young. With his previous combat experience, Bai Ziyuan identified the "perpetrator" at the scene at a glance. He blinked his peach blossom eyes and habitually showed off his beautiful impromptu reasoning: "How is my guess, what do you think?"

However, all he got was a raised finger:

"How do I see? With my eyes!" Zhu Mingyao stared at a half-collapsed house on the street and said unhappily.

As if knowing that it has been discovered, the lurking extraordinary predator simply no longer hides.

The wooden boards and rubble of the ruins were blown up, and broken bricks and tiles flew everywhere. An arthropod creature as thick as a man's embrace suddenly emerged and appeared in front of him.

The monster was covered with a shiny black carapace, and the surface was gleaming with the unique oily sheen of chitin. Its lower body was buried deep underground, and its upright upper body alone was four or five meters high. At the top of its ring-shaped body, its iron-like jaws held a human head, greedily sucking out the brain. Any biologist would think that its shape was a standard giant centipede.

But ordinary centipedes cannot break into houses and eat people while enduring bullets... Zhu Mingyao glanced at the dense bullets lightly embedded on the monster's body and swung his peach stick into the air.

"Let me raid the formation and weigh it first."

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the violent airflow rolled up the dust, like a chaotic dragon and snake, holding a golden steel whip and hitting the monster on the head!

However, this fierce attack missed.

The giant centipede shuddered, demonstrating agility that was inconsistent with its size. It turned into a wisp of afterimage and crawled on the ground to avoid the golden whip. Its pairs of arm-thick arthropods slid like steel knives, plowing through the asphalt and cement on the ground like cutting tofu, and it approached the enemy in a flash.

Then it opened its mouth wide, and two pairs of sharp blades of varying sizes were ready to pounce. At the same time, the ground behind Zhu Mingyao quietly cracked, and a long hooked tail popped out silently. Looking at the dark green edge, it was obviously not a good thing.

Time seemed to stop for a moment.

"The physical strength of the Knight-Class, the lack of spell abilities, the presence of a certain amount of intelligence, and the ability to set simple traps, should be this..."

Amid the relaxed assessment, the figure suddenly disappeared, and a bright sword light danced like a dragon and a phoenix, cutting through the air to interpret a splash-ink landscape painting, like a butcher cutting up a cow, penetrating into every joint.

The huge monster stiffened instantly, and then thick gray-blue fluid spurted out, and its long torso turned into dozens of limbs and fell down with a bang.

"If everyone has this much strength, it will be easy for us." Bai Ziyuan walked forward curiously, selected a limb, turned the pointed tail of the long bone banner upside down, and used his skillful strength to pry open the outer shell.

A piece of crystal clear white meat appeared in front of him, trembling. It was not as disgusting as he had imagined, and it even had a sweet and fishy smell.

His eyes lit up, and the blood inheritance of the people of the Celestial Empire was activated: "Hey, it seems delicious... I mean, put a few pieces away for research, maybe it will be worth developing in the future?"

Bai Ziyuan said this as he raised his hand. A dozen white bone chains as shiny as jade flew out from the long banner, strung the spoils onto them and scooped them back.

"puff."

His joyful expression froze, and as he looked at the white meat quickly melting into smoke, his brows gradually furrowed.

"It seems we have underestimated each other!"
