Thinking this through, Hu Long realized that he had been greedy and had gone too far.

This trip.

This will allow the source value reserves to reach an unprecedented peak.

It far exceeded previous expectations.

With the support of these source values, he was able to grow rapidly.

As for going back into the water to see if there are any other snake bones present.

He will not consider this idea for the time being.

The water was too murky, and that eerie roar from earlier still gave him a chilling feeling.

It's best to stop while you're ahead.

Thinking of this, I put away the plain noodles in front of me.

He had been so focused on the situation in the water that Hu Long only noticed something else now.

That is, it started at some unknown time.

The sky overhead gradually darkened, becoming gloomy and overcast.

The sky, which was still bright just a moment ago, has been completely obscured by a thick cloud that appeared out of nowhere in less than a few minutes.

Fine rain fell silently, carrying a cool, refreshing chill.

Perhaps it's because of the rain.

Around the sinkhole, the smell of soil and decaying leaves suddenly intensified, mixing with rainwater to create a unique, damp, earthy odor.

From the depths of the leaves and grass in the distance, came a rustling sound, like insects disturbed by the rain crawling.

Besides.

In the distance, a layer of white mist rises silently from the ground, from the gaps in the trees, and from the crevices of the rocks, slowly wrapping around the branches of the plants and gradually blurring the scenery in front of us.

Looking at all this before me.

For some reason, Hu Long felt a chill creep into his heart.

"This place is a bit eerie..."

I thought of the few pieces of clothing I had seen underwater before.

Hu Long did not linger.

He immediately turned around and quickly left the area, jogging towards the direction from which he had fallen.

However, they hadn't gone very far.

He paused.

Look behind a tree on one side.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!"

"I...I'll come out, don't be nervous."

Just then.

The leaves on one side rustled the moment the words left his mouth.

A round-faced woman with pigtails and wearing a light yellow hiking outfit came out.

Her face was pale and bloodless.

She was shivering from the cold and looked rather pitiful.

"You're the one who came down earlier, right? Brother Bo told me about you."

She was somewhat incoherent.

However, Hu Long basically understood what the other party meant.

The other party should be with the young man named Liu Bo from before.

He had indeed seen several figures above the Xiaoyan Tiankeng earlier.

"Where are the rest of you?"

Hu Long frowned.

Look behind the other person.

However, the other three were not found.

"I...I don't know. They disappeared after a sudden thick fog rolled in."

The woman's voice trembled, as if she were terrified.

Then.

She seemed to have thought of something.

The voice was spoken very cautiously.

"Um, can I come with you? I'm so scared. I'll give you money if you take me out."

Hu Longgang was about to refuse.

I don't know what came to mind, but the tone of her voice suddenly changed.

"I don't lack money. If you want to follow me, then follow me, but don't drag me down."

"Okay, don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back!"

A happy smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Are you cold? Put this coat on me!"

Hu Long gave a gentle smile.

He casually took off his clothes.

"Th...thank you!"

The woman's voice was choked with emotion.

They seemed to be touched by Hu Long's heartwarming actions.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Hu Long took the clothes and draped them over the woman's body.

However, the next second, he paused slightly.

"What's wrong? Did you discover something?!"

The round-faced woman's voice continued.

However, the voice was unusually calm at that moment.

Hu Long looked up.

The previous image showed a face with hollow eyes and a swollen, gigantic appearance.

Hu Long's pupils contracted.

Even though he had anticipated this and knew there was something fishy about this guy.

But I never expected to see this kind of scene.

He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a chill exploded from his spine.

Perhaps it was because they were familiar with the frequent appearances of that ghostly woman, Blood Soul Guide.

When a person is suddenly startled, they usually have two instinctive reactions.

One option is to turn around and run away in order to avoid it.

Second, attack head-on, using offense as defense.

Hu Long is no different from the second type.

"Go to hell!"

At the same time, as if by instinct, the force originates from the feet and twists the waist.

Beneath the trouser legs, the muscle fibers of Hu Long's calves instantly twisted together like steel cables.

Swish!

His right leg rose, tearing through the rain like a fleeting shadow!

He showed no mercy in this attack.

After breaking through to the Body Forging Realm, one combines innate divine power with their original strength.

Its own strength has reached more than 2,000 jin.

The legs are inherently stronger than the arms, and this is compounded by the special way of generating power and the combined force of the whole body.

This outpouring of energy was like a thousand-pound hammer striking out, unstoppable.

Click—!

A dull, loud bang was followed by the chilling sound of fibers snapping.

next second.

--ah!

A sharp, piercing scream from a woman suddenly rang in Hu Long's ears.

His vision blurred.

The woman's figure exploded before their eyes.

A large cloud of black sawdust mixed with rainwater exploded and scattered in all directions in an arc.

There was nothing but emptiness in front of me.

The figure from just now seemed to have evaporated, disappearing without a trace.

Before me stood a broken tree stump.

The thick, broken log flew out and crashed heavily into the mud, rolling on its own.

The rain pattered softly, and the fog was thick.

It was as if the scene just now was merely Hu Long's hallucination.

However, Hu Long could sense a lingering, chilling gaze in the air around him.

It felt like something was watching me from the shadows.

"What is that thing? Or is this fog affecting my five senses?"

Hu Long took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

There was no notification whatsoever the moment he touched the other person.

This situation is clearly abnormal, up until now.

Even if the target has no skills, their name will still be displayed.

Unless that thing isn't human at all.

Thinking of this.

He deftly unzipped the backpack behind him, reached inside, pulled out a black gas mask, and skillfully fastened it to his face.

Having thoroughly researched the potential for miasma to spread in this land, he was naturally prepared.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

After putting on the gas mask, Hu Long felt his somewhat muddled mind clear up a bit.

I realized this.

He was startled.

This further convinced me that there was something strange about the fog here.

I dare not linger here any longer.

soon.

Hu Long arrived at the spot where the rope had been hanging, but the next second, he suddenly stopped.

Because the rope had broken and fallen to the ground.

His face instantly darkened.

The sinkhole is over 300 meters deep.

The surrounding rock walls are steep and almost vertical, and with the addition of moss and rainwater, they are extremely slippery.

Without climbing ropes, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to leave.

Ultimately, they will only be trapped here and die.

The rope clearly did not come off on its own.

It was man-made.

Such behavior is despicable.

"Great, that's really great."

Hu Long's lips curled into a sinister grin.

"You'd better not find out who did it, or you'll regret ever being born!"

He said no more, threw down his backpack, ripped off his shirt, revealing his lean and muscular body.

I walked up to the rock face and looked up.

Due to the fog, visibility was less than five meters, and the area above was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

next second.

He suddenly leaped up, his five fingers reaching out to precisely grip a rock ridge two meters above him.

Then, using the momentum, he swung up the cliff like a monkey, and in the blink of an eye, he was several meters off the ground.

This rock face is inaccessible to ordinary people, but that does not include Hu Long, a freak with superhuman physical abilities.

His immense strength endowed him with terrifying finger strength, enabling him to firmly grasp any tiny protrusion.

Soon, Hu Long's figure gradually disappeared into the hazy mist above.
