This place is fun

Chapter 87 Mutation
The battle continues.

And at a certain moment, suddenly, Su Daoshan who was in the battle group and Zhai Ling who was on the earth slope behind, cast their eyes towards the abandoned earthen city in the dust at the same time.

"wrong!"

Zhai Ling stands high and sees far, while Su Daoshan relies on his keen perception.

Then, the two saw a ball of dark green light in the earthen city, like magma erupting from the ground. It suddenly shot up and illuminated the yellow sky first, then expanded horizontally, swept across the earth, and dyed the entire abandoned city green.

boom!
At this time, a violent explosion was about to sound. But there was no violent shock wave as expected. Instead, there were turbulent winds.

These turbulent currents were wrapped in dust and sand, and under the green light they looked like intertwined giant pythons. They became faster and denser, covering the sun, which was only a halo. For a moment, the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim.

At the same time, countless crazy roars erupted in the earthen city, and all the crazy puppets that were originally sleeping and hiding in unknown corners were startled.

Countless crazy puppets rushed onto the streets, over the ruins, and submerged the city walls. Like mud gushing out from the ground, they overflowed from the abandoned earthen city. They ran and roared aimlessly with the green light column as the center.

“Wormhole…” The blood color on Zhai Ling’s face faded away in an instant, and he shouted, “Go! Take them away!”

Xue Long and several officers of the Fiery Army turned their horses around and shouted at the terrified soldiers without saying anything, "Go!"

A group of people yelled and cursed, madly driving everyone to flee.

For a moment, there was chaos with people shouting and horses neighing.

Seeing that a large group of soldiers had already mounted their horses and started to evacuate, Zhai Ling gritted his teeth and led ten of his trusted men down the slope, galloping towards the direction where Su Daoshan and the others were.

“Why is the wormhole here?”

"Why now?"

The wind was whistling in his ears, Zhai Ling's eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were exposed, and his mind was in a mess.

Every soldier in the field corps is familiar with wormholes.

The dark green light column rising into the sky, the countless turbulent winds, and the awakened crazy puppets were all signs of the opening of the wormhole.

However, the mist in Wen'an City has only been there for more than twenty hours since it appeared.

Generally speaking, the channel to the Netherworld will only be fully opened about seven days after the Nether Mist appears. Only then, when the Nether Clan army arrives, will the Nether Clan activate the wormhole.

Moreover, the location of the wormhole is usually set at the place closest to the city.

Because of this, Zhai Ling could not understand why a wormhole appeared in this abandoned earthen city with no village in front and no shop behind.

"Could it be that our scouts found a wormhole?" A thought popped into Zhai Ling's mind.

A wormhole is essentially a space-time passage, and it does not restrict the identities of the people who travel with it. And from the perspective of time, now should be the stage where the Fiery Army scouts explore the mist.

If a wormhole is discovered, scouts will indeed travel through it to explore the location of the wormhole exit.

"Damn it!"

Zhai Ling is going crazy.

This wormhole didn't open earlier or later, but at this moment...

Zhai Ling beat the horse frantically.

Ahead, a green glow spread in all directions along with a turbulent wind. The rolling dust was like a mighty army, roaring and rushing in all directions, swallowing up everything along the way. Zhai Ling led the group and plunged in.

In the battle group, whether it was Su Daoshan, Zhou Qinghe, Yue Shifeng, Yue Zhen, Feng Ting... everyone was stunned.

They saw the green light and explosion rising from the earthen city, and also saw countless startled mad puppets. Before they could come to their senses, they found themselves swallowed by the dust storm that covered the sky and the sun. The yellow sand rushed everywhere with the strong wind. Sometimes the dust was like a gauze curtain, light and hazy but endless, and sometimes it was like the mist splashed by a waterfall, fine and diffuse but with varying density. And more often, the dust was like a violent devil. It was impossible to open one's eyes.

In the field of vision, the light dimmed for a while, and then suddenly brightened again.

The whole world was divided into small pieces by the strong wind and the clouds of dust. In the case of poor visibility, it was pitch dark, and in the case of the best visibility, one could only barely see seven or eight meters away.

The most terrifying thing was that, somehow, the mad puppets around him became more and more ferocious and violent. If they were a group of wild dogs before, they had now completely turned into a group of mad dogs.

They were more aggressive and moved faster, one after another with red eyes pounced on us, layer upon layer, endlessly.

Because of the influence of sand and dust, the warriors lost their sense of direction and the traces of their companions, and could only react differently subconsciously.

The formation collapsed almost instantly. In the sight of the people fighting on their own, there was only the green light flickering in the dust, like lightning in the dark clouds. In their ears, there were only shouts and screams one after another.

"Run! Run!"

"Master, Master, where are you?!"

"Ah! Help me! Help me!"

Everyone was in panic and chaos.

“Damn it!” Zhou Qinghe frantically used his long sword to block the sharp claws of a crazy puppet, kicked it away with his foot, and then retreated while asking with a pale face, “Master Liu, what’s going on? What should we do?”

Zhou Qinghe's face was hurt by the wind and sand. With just one sentence, his mouth was filled with sand. His voice was vague in the wind, as if it was far away in the sky.

Because the battle array collapsed earlier, several guards of the Zhou family had been protecting Zhou Qinghe closely, so when the dust storm hit, they were the least affected. Five of the six people gathered together.

"I don't know either, but we can't stay here. We have to fight our way out!"

The leading guard was named Liu Song, tall, fierce-looking, and had the strength of a peak seventh-rank guard. He had been Zhou Qinghe's personal guard since he was eight years old.

Liu Song shouted as loudly as he could while helping Zhou Qinghe to deal with the crazy puppet. He looked around with a sullen face and roughly identified a direction based on his memory: "Let's go that way. You follow me and protect the young master."

As he spoke, he protected Zhou Qinghe and charged to the left.

"Little sister, little sister!"

Among the group of crazy puppets, Yue Shifeng looked like a madman, hacking and killing while shouting.

"Miss!" The guards around her were so anxious that their faces turned pale and they shouted loudly.

When the incident happened, Yue Shifeng and several Yue family guards reacted relatively quickly. They immediately shouted at each other and wanted to gather together.

But the dust storm came too quickly, and almost instantly dominated the entire field of vision along with the expanding green light. Everyone had been fighting with the crazy puppet and had no time to pay attention to other things, so for a minute or two, they were isolated and no one could see each other.

Without the coordination, the triangular assault formation became riddled with holes. In addition, the surrounding mad puppets suddenly went crazy, and for a moment, not only could everyone not gather together, but they were involuntarily rushed to pieces.

By the time Yue Shifeng and his guards had finally fought their way through and gathered together, only three of the six were left.

Not only did the other two guards disappear, but even Yue Zhen was missing.

In a state of shock and anger, Yue Shifeng could only call out to Yue Zhen while leading his men to kill in the direction Yue Zhen had been in. However, their shouts not only did not receive a response from Yue Zhen, but instead attracted more crazy puppets.

The three of them were in danger for a moment.

But in this chaos, Su Daoshan was exceptionally clear-headed.
