A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

These fog demons huddled together, slowly following the thick fog.

Most of these mist demons were transformed from the previous beast tide. He couldn't see them from 300 meters away, but he knew that there were absolutely countless mist demons everywhere.

"This time, Shancheng is in trouble." Li Zhan, outside the thick fog, immediately withdrew his clone, discarding even that segment of divine sense.

He was afraid of being polluted by the thick fog.

Li Zhan immediately stopped and, with the other transformed mist demons, returned directly to the city wall.

Upon reaching the top of the city wall, Li Zhan discovered the transformed mist demons again, and his body immediately stopped moving.

After waiting for several minutes, there was still no sign of him waking up.

It is likely that the Mist Demon cannot survive in areas without mist, but it does not die; it simply falls into a state of suspended animation.

Looking at the two infected monsters again, their infection level had actually decreased once more.

It's about ten times lower than when it was in the fog.

In other words, a level seven demon beast would need at least one hundred days to transform into a mist demon here.

The level six demonic beast will also take about 21 days.

"Gentlemen, this time, our mountain city is in big trouble again."

“If this is not handled properly, our mountain city risks being destroyed.” Li Zhan glanced at the group of high-ranking officials inside the city tower and slowly spoke.

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Chapter 174 The Disaster That Destroyed the Mountain City

"Minister, aren't you going too far with what you're saying?"

"That's right, Minister. We have one level nine, two level eight, and more than thirty level seven here, as well as all kinds of heavy weapons. How could we be wiped out?"

"Our mountain city has five level-nine experts, which ranks among the top in the world. How could we possibly be wiped out?"

"Minister, what exactly have you discovered?"

The surrounding executives started talking all at once.

No one believed that what Li Zhan said was true.

Li Zhan's gaze swept over the crowd, and then he slowly said, "You can take a look at this scene."

As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, he directly extracted a segment of his memory and projected it onto everyone's screen.

After watching the video, they all gasped and their expressions became extremely serious.

"Minister, are...are all of these true?"

"Dense fog can actually transform into fog demons? And the transformed fog demons can even be upgraded by one level?"

"Damn it, are all those fog demons in that thick fog?"

Everyone's faces turned grim; this meant their mountain city might truly be in danger of destruction.

Li Zhan didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand and released the mist demons he had captured.

"These are the Mist Demons I transformed from demonic beasts. They need to be sent to the research institute for study immediately."

"At the same time, all information about the dense fog and those fog demons must be reported. The dense fog will reach outside the city walls in ten hours at most."

"This time, the biggest crisis in the history of our mountain city is about to descend. Everyone, please be alert."

"You all stay here and guard the city. I will personally go to the inner city lord's mansion," Li Zhan said slowly.

"Yes, Minister," the senior officials replied immediately.

“Zhou An, go back to your post.” Li Zhan’s gaze fell on Zhou An again.

Zhou An nodded, then immediately turned and walked out of the city gate.

Before long, Zhou An saw a streak of light heading towards the inner city.

In any case, Minister Li is now aware of the severity of the dense fog.

Once the higher-ups find out, they will definitely send more people to investigate.

Then we'll see how they respond.

Should they find a way to break through the fog, or flee the entire city?

Zhou An returned to the city wall where he was stationed.

The team members surrounded them again, asking questions.

Zhou An waved his hand, telling them to go and rest.

Zhou An then directly dispelled the evil and benevolent thoughts.

Then, when no one was paying attention, they were summoned.

The moment the evil and benevolent entities appeared, they directly activated the monkey talisman, transforming it into two unnoticed flies.

"Old evil, go check out the situation in the thick fog outside the city."

“Old Shan, take the deacon’s token to the Holy Spirit Cult and tell them what’s going on here. It would be best if you could find the Holy Spirit Messenger.”

Zhou An silently gave instructions to the two men.

"Okay." The two nodded and then left.

……

Although the evil spirit transformed into a fly, it flew at an alarming speed thanks to the rabbit talisman.

In no time at all, they arrived directly at the thick fog.

Without any hesitation, the malevolent entity flew directly into it.

Upon entering, it immediately transformed into human form.

Almost the instant they entered, the thick fog began to surge wildly into the body of the evil spirit.

However, due to the dog talisman, the dense fog was completely unable to penetrate, but it was still unwilling to give up and continued to try to penetrate.

The malevolent entity ignored it and headed deeper into the abyss.

Before long, he saw the mist demons covering the mountains and plains.

No, that's not right. In this world, they're called Mist Demons.

However, from the perspective of the malevolent entity, this was utterly bizarre, a demon lurking in the mist of the wilderness.

A rabid demon devoid of reason, knowing only how to kill.

Even if it's bizarre, they'll kill it without hesitation.

"Evil spirits... does this mean that the dense fog is an invasion of this cyber world by a strange world?" The evil entity vaguely guessed.

But that wasn't enough; he continued to delve deeper.

But when those evil spirits discovered the malevolent entity, they all revived, their emotionless eyes staring at the malevolent entity, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, the evil entity took out the stone hat and put it on its head without any hesitation.

Of course, this stone hat is not the same as that stone hat.

The stone hat in the evil entity's hand was taken from a four-dimensional pocket.

It's a gadget from Doraemon; once you take it out, it's a one-time use item.

【Stone Hat】: This is an item that exists for certain special reasons.

Effect: A one-time use item that reduces the wearer's presence to a very low level. Others can sense its presence but will not actively notice or pay attention to it. The item lasts for 24 hours.

Note: It is as hard as stone when it is in normal condition, but it softens and falls off when it comes into contact with water. It cannot be removed by itself and requires external force to remove it.

Doraemon's stone hat has similar properties to his own rule-based gadget, the stone hat.

However, the downside is that it cannot get wet and cannot be removed by itself, but you can remove it by splashing water on it.

The permanent stone hat is in Zhou An's possession.

A disposable stone hat is more than enough for this kind of situation.

The malevolent entity immediately put the stone hat on its head.

In an instant, the resurrected demons looked around blankly.

Having lost their goals, they all fell silent once more.

However, it can be seen that although they have fallen silent, they are still slowly moving along with the thick fog.

The malevolent entity began to advance deeper into the dense fog.

Because he is currently at level four, the Rabbit Talisman only has a speed of Mach 8.

However, this speed is already extremely fast.

In a short while, the evil entity had penetrated hundreds of kilometers.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in all directions, there are still countless evil spirits.

Along the way, the sheer number of them was enough to make the evil spirits' scalp tingle.

Even after traveling hundreds of kilometers, they still couldn't find where the thick fog came from.

The malevolent entity continued its journey, and when it reached two hundred kilometers, it emerged from the dense fog.

They emerged from the thick fog.

This surprised the malevolent entity.

So, the dense fog only covers an area of ​​200 kilometers?

The malevolent entity walked back into the thick fog and then changed direction.

This time, it was still 200 kilometers later when we emerged from the dense fog. We then changed direction for the last time, and it was still 200 kilometers later.

These are not the most important things; the malevolent entity had absolutely no idea where the dense fog came from.

It was as if a thick fog appeared out of nowhere, and then slowly moved towards the mountain city.

"Wait, no, the fog isn't moving, it's expanding!" The malevolent entity suddenly realized this.
