The night was dreary, and the wind howled.

Lin Baici glanced around and saw the speed at which the dark fog expanded was too fast; escaping at car speed was simply impossible. He turned around, holding onto Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu, while looking for Xia Hongyao and the others.

He wanted to stay together as much as possible.

If they got separated, the risk of death would soar immediately.

Just as Lin Baici hadn’t reached her yet, still about ten meters away from the girl with the high ponytail, the dark fog rushed over like a flood, engulfing the camp and painting the whole world in black.

Lin Baici tightly clutched the hands of the two girls, holding his breath.

A Sip of A Hundred Flavors activated!

Passing Ears Recitation activated!

Lin Baici focused intently, fully alert to the surrounding environment, avoiding a sneak attack.

"Little Bai!"

Hua Yue Yu spoke, but the sound did not reach Lin Baici’s ears.

The dark fog was like a mysterious substance, isolating all sounds.

The world suddenly became terrifyingly silent.

It was as if all life activities had ceased.

This process lasted about ten minutes before Lin Baici started hearing some faint footsteps, and then a few minutes later, voices began to emerge.

"Captain Xia? God Lin?"

"Don’t speak, might attract the monsters."

"What do we do now?"

The surroundings became noisy, but soon quieted down again.

"Little Linzi?"

Xia Hongyao called out.

"I’m here!"

Lin Baici turned his head toward the direction of the voice.

"Damn it, we’re trapped in the Qin Palace Divine Ruins. We’re doomed!"

Xia Hongyao shouted.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow, casually responding, "Don’t worry, I’m here!"

"Where’s Gu Qingqiu? Not with you?"

Lin Baici slightly tilted his head, missing no little movements.

"She’s beside me!"

Xia Hongyao said, running over.

Judging by the footsteps, she was already very close. The next second, Lin Baici let go of Hua Yue Yu and struck toward the direction of the voice.

The Great Impression Hand!

Slam!

In the next instant, Lin Baici hit something.

Boom!

The thing wasn’t smashed flat by the Great Impression Hand but instead exploded with a bang.

Then light suddenly emerged in front of Lin Baici, allowing him to see the surroundings.

"Little Bai, what’s wrong?"

Hua Yue Yu asked anxiously, feeling panic-stricken because Lin Baici had let go of her hand.

"It’s okay!"

Lin Baici reassured her, "Just killed one monster, I can see you all now!"

Lin Baici held Kim Myungjin with his left hand, with Little Merperson two paces away to the right, and now he could see through the darkness about thirty meters away.

At this moment, a ’Kim Myungjin’ and a ’Hua Yue Yu’ stood nearby, staring at their originals beside Lin Baici.

"Interesting!"

Lin Baici raised his eyebrow.

He could previously tell something was off with the ’Xia Hongyao’ responding to him, firstly because he was never caught off guard, and secondly because the reply was incorrect.

With Xia Hongyao’s adventurous nature, if the Qin Palace spread, her first reaction would not be worry but glee.

The high ponytail girl has rationality, so she can suppress the desire to explore the ruins, but if caught by accident, she wouldn’t be upset.

Furthermore, Lin Baici didn’t hear any response from Gu Qingqiu.

When storming out of the building earlier, Lin Baici had seen Xia Hongyao with Gu Qingqiu from a distance.

With Gu’s cautious nature, she would definitely stop Xia Hongyao from speaking recklessly to avoid revealing their location.

All these anomalies indicated an issue, and Lin Baici was suspicious, even if the voice was identical to Xia Hongyao’s.

The ’Kim Myungjin’ and ’Hua Yue Yu’ who quietly waited like spider web weavers beside Lin Baici were apparently effects of godly corruption.

It is undeniable, the Qin Palace Divine Ruins, from which no one has ever walked out alive, are terrifying; even the mere spreading of dark fog presents such a deadly threat.

One careless mistake could lead to disaster.

The ’Kim Myungjin’ and ’Hua Yue Yu’ realized Lin Baici was a formidable enemy after he killed their companion. Unable to win, they turned and dashed into the dark fog.

Lin Baici could only see about thirty meters ahead, so as long as they escaped far enough, they could evade him.

These two Ruins Monsters reacted quickly, but unfortunately, they encountered Lin Baici.

NO BODY!

Lin Baici teleported beside ’Kim Myungjin.’

To kill in one blow, he even activated Lighting Fast.

Swish!

Lin Baici’s fingers turned into a blade, slicing ’Kim Myungjin’s’ neck fiercely.

Bam!

The adversary rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

"Hmm?"

Weaker than anticipated!

’Kim Myungjin’ fainted and collapsed onto the ground, so Lin Baici reached out his arm like scooping the moon from the sea, grabbing ’Kim Myungjin’ by the black hair, dragging it, and speeding toward the other one.

’Hua Yue Yu’ ran frantically with its short legs, but how could it outrun Lin Baici?

In less than ten seconds, Lin Baici caught up, delivering a flying kick right to its back.

Bam!

’Hua Yue Yu’ tumbled clumsily, covering itself in dirt, and before it could get up, a large foot stamped down on its neck.

Gah!

’Hua Yue Yu’ immediately lost its breath, instinctively opening its mouth to stick out its moist little tongue.

Then it started hitting Lin Baici’s shin, trying to make him let go.

Watching the monster struggle so, Lin Baici felt a bit of pity, mainly because it looked too much like Hua Yue Yu.
