The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters.

Chapter 231: Turning Point in the Mask
The meteor disaster has not yet arrived.

The starry sky in this world had changed first.

Yu Ke was well aware that time was running out, but he did not expect the change to come so quickly. He failed to take this accident into account and faced the arrogant insect that had been dormant for a thousand years and eroded the God of Zhongshan, and ultimately fell into a disadvantage.

If it weren't for Feng Ling carrying them away from the hill, Yu Ke's defeat would have been a foregone conclusion.

But even so, the price is still heavy.

The simultaneous appearance of Jiao Chong and Yu Ke at the top of the hill was enough to prove that the latter's guess was correct.

The target that Zhongshan God gave Yu Ke was right here. There must be something extremely important hidden here.
"You can no longer participate in the battle. You must return to the camp immediately and suppress the calamity energy in your body first."

The forest spirit guided Feng Ling to retreat to the camp. Yu Ke no longer had the ability to participate in the battle, so there was no point in staying here.

Yu Ke, who had escaped from the blood dragon transformation, had not returned to normal. The calamity energy was still stimulating the dragon blood in his body, so that there were still quite a lot of dragon scales on his skin that had not disappeared, and the dark golden vertical pupils in his eye sockets were vaguely tending to disperse.

Lying on the wind chime's back and putting on the black copper jade ring again, the effect was immediate.

His spirit, which was on the verge of collapse, eased a little. Yu Ke took out his watch immediately and contacted Fang Xuanhe via satellite communication.

He forced himself to stay awake and tell Fang Xuanhe about his current situation and Jiao Chong's intentions, emphasizing the importance of the hills. He then contacted An Saili and asked her to arrange for a fleet of fighter jets to be dispatched immediately.

In order to achieve its goal, Jiao Chong dispelled the fog, but this also exposed the area to satellite surveillance again.

Yu Ke’s current condition makes it difficult for him to stop the arrogant insect.

We can only hope that the Disaster Prevention Bureau and Fang Xuanhe can find a way to save the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ke vomited black blood again, and his state was more debilitated than ever before.

Although he had the black copper jade ring on him, the seeds of disaster that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupted. Coupled with the battle just now, his body's recovery ability could no longer withstand the damage caused by the disaster energy.

After Feng Ling left the hill and ran nearly three kilometers, Yu Ke finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The effect of the black copper jade ring on the body is secondary. The first characteristic of the [Sage] profession is endless learning. It can prevent Yu Ke's physical changes caused by the dragon's blood from getting out of control and causing overall collapse.

The premise is that the mind remains normal!
Even though Yu Ke possessed the quality of mind anchoring, he was at his wit's end when faced with the endless impact of the calamity energy.

Feng Ling was crawling on the ground. Running wildly in the complex environment of the mountains and forests had caused it to suffer severe physical depletion. It could not stop gasping for breath. Its eyes were always fixed on Yu Ke, who was supported to the side of the tree by the vines of the forest spirit. It came forward with full of concern and gently rubbed Yu Ke's cheek.

Raising his hand and gently stroking Feng Ling's forehead, Yu Ke managed to pull out an extremely ugly melt.

The scales on both sides of his cheeks and neck became clearer and clearer. His left hand turned into a dragon claw again, and his knuckles spasmed uncontrollably.

This was a sign that the dragon's blood was beginning to take over Yu Ke's body. Even more troublesome was the confusion and disorder on the mental level. Many negative emotions were swirling in his mind, and his strong desire to destroy forced him to grit his teeth and persevere.

"I'll try to stabilize your condition and return to camp."

The forest spirit did not care about much at this time. It revealed its true form and protected Yu Ke, forcibly mobilizing the natural energy in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"It's all up to you. It's just one step away. What the fuck."

The only one Yu Ke could rely on right now was the forest spirit. He leaned against the tree trunk, looked up at the increasingly strange starry sky above his head, and said in a deep voice.

I'm afraid Jiao Chong has already started preparing for the arrival of the meteor shower.

If neither Fang Xuanhe nor the Disaster Prevention Bureau can stop its plan, the consequences will be disastrous.

By then, the disaster will not only affect the mountains, but the entire Beijing-Hangzhou area will probably face an unprecedented disaster.

Yu Ke had only lived in the new house built outside the forest for a few days, but he was unwilling to give up!

Swipe~
There was a sudden noise from the bushes in the front right.

Feng Ling thought it was an insect beast sent by Jiao Chong to hunt him down, so he jumped in front of Yu Ke and growled intimidatingly. Unexpectedly, a familiar figure emerged from the bushes.

It was Ye Yingtong, or Chi Mei, who had come to help earlier. At this time, her hair had completely turned red and was draped over her shoulders.

Chi Mei, who had sensed the unusual energy movement and came over to investigate, saw Yu Ke, who looked miserable under the tree, and Feng Ling and Sen Ling standing beside him. He could not help but stand there in a daze, and then his face suddenly changed as if he realized something.

"Oh~ You dyed your hair. Unfortunately, you came a little late. Hiss~ I'm afraid I can't fight anymore."

Seeing Ye Yingtong, who seemed like a completely different person, Yu Ke shrugged helplessly, and spoke with gritted teeth when he mentioned the wound.

"The calamity energy entered my body. Was it caused by that monster?"

Chi Mei ignored Yu Ke's joke, took two quick steps forward, grabbed the latter's still trembling dragon claw, and glanced at the abnormalities in various parts of his body, and said repeatedly,
"How is your mental state now? Can you stay awake?"

"I'm trying my best."

While speaking, Yu Ke frowned subconsciously, with bloodthirsty ferocity flashing in his eyes, which he suppressed only after shaking his head violently.

"Where is the Qingming Mask? Take it out. It can help you stabilize your soul."

"Mask? Yeah, I almost forgot about that!"

After being reminded by Chi Mei, Yu Ke remembered that there were instruments in the imprint space that could protect the soul, and he immediately became alert.

The seed of disaster affected his spirit by eroding his body, and Yu Ke had no way to stop it. However, if he could temporarily "deposit" his soul in the Qingming mask, perhaps he could stop the condition from deteriorating. Then, with the forest spirit protecting his body, he could hold on and return to the camp.

What's more important is that there is the fear energy condensed by millions of people in the Qingming Mask. Combined with the purple skill of Soul Release that he just obtained not long ago, there may be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"What do you need me to do?"

Yu Ke took out the Qingming Mask from the mark and gave it to Chi Mei.

"I will unlock the mechanism inside the Qingming Mask and send your soul into it. You just need to stay awake during the whole process and don't let the energy of disaster erode your mind."

Taking the Qingming mask, Chi Mei stared at Yu Ke and said after a brief silence,

"In exchange, you must help me find the bastard who originally resided in the Qingming Mask and take back the secret treasure!"

"Okay, I promise you."

Yu Ke didn't have the energy to find out what the secret treasure was right now. The key was to save his life first, he nodded seriously.

Chi Mei had originally wanted to use this incident to test whether Yu Ke was qualified to take on this secret, but now he had no choice. He brushed his left hand across his face, and red light gathered out of thin air, condensing into a red ghost mask.

Faced with a powerful enemy, Chi Mei knew that if she allowed the monster that defeated Yu Ke to achieve its goal, everything would be irreversible.

So he sat cross-legged in front of Yu Ke, held up the Qingming mask in both hands, and chanted the spell in a low voice.

Until mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of the Qingming mask, Chi Mei immediately sent the mask to Yu Ke. Dark blue energy rose from the edge of the mask, automatically sticking to Yu Ke's cheeks and ears, and then put it on his face.

It would take time for the Qingming Mask to recognize its master again and transfer Yu Ke's soul into it.

Chi Mei mobilized his own strength as much as possible, hoping to complete the transfer of soul before the disaster broke out completely.

At the same time, the Disaster Prevention Bureau's counterattack has begun.

Because the fog was dispersed by the proud insect itself, the giant insect beasts including it were immediately exposed to the surveillance of the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The subsequent news conveyed by Ansili that Yu Ke was seriously injured made everyone clearly aware of the danger of these insect beasts.

Yu Ke provided the specific coordinates to the Disaster Prevention Bureau before arriving at the hills.

Under the premise that the hill had fallen into the control of Jiao Chong, the instruction Yu Ke conveyed to Ansili was simple: blow it up!
