Chapter 155 The Shadow in the Mist

The Great Commander-in-Chief, familiar with the terrain and topography of the Wulin Mountain Range, led his troops on a journey.

However, they hadn't run far when they suddenly heard a sharp, strange, inhuman voice coming from the mist ahead.

Do you think you can escape?

The sound source of each word shows a clear change in position, demonstrating an astonishing speed of movement!

"Ah—" A scream suddenly rang out from the left side of the group.

Brief and hurried.

Lin Qiru grabbed a martial artist who had turned the world upside down, flapped his wings and flew away, his claws gripping the man's shoulders and neck, and his feet stomping hard on the man's spine.

After screaming in terror, the man quickly launched an attack that no one could stop!

However, much of the explosive power that surged out of the body was suddenly absorbed by the dense fog.

The unstoppable burning light did not illuminate anything.

Lin Qiru, transformed into a stag, forcibly endured the continuous trauma of the light, remaining calm like the willful teacher, merely controlling the enemy without attempting to stop the unstoppable force.

Thus, Lin Qiru was carried along by the unstoppable Heavenly Warrior, and together they flew through the thick fog.

Until—it suddenly ended, unstoppable.

The Heavenly Warriors, filled with despair, were met with a merciless, fatal blow from the Beast-like Hand!
Lin Qiru turned and rushed back, but the man carried her more than three thousand meters away.

Fortunately, the Great Commander-in-Chief and his men managed to identify the missing person through the fog. Finally, the group shouted warnings.

After some time wasted, and just as they decided to continue moving, they suddenly heard shouts from the front and sides from the Heavenly Martial Clan:
"Search carefully! Don't let the Great Commander-in-Chief escape!"

Even though the commander-in-chief was unwilling, he was forced to move in the direction of silence.

Meanwhile, it seems to be moving northward from the western side of the circular abyss of the Misty Forest Mountain Range, along the cliff edge.

The shouts and locations of the Heavenly Warriors in the mist were all guided and instructed by Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue.

By creating artificial obstacles and occasionally pretending that there were people searching from all sides, the commanders were forced to stop and wait.

Then, by shouting, they were directed to move in the direction where "no one has been searched".

This creates a circuitous movement, which wastes time.

Until Lin Qiru rushed back.

In the mist, the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Empire suddenly saw a dark, winged mutated beast rush past!

Both Heavenly Warriors were grabbed by the head and face and lifted off the ground.

The overwhelming force of the beast's impact made it impossible for the two Heavenly Warriors to break free.

Before they could despair and launch an unstoppable attack, their bodies suddenly felt light, and the grip on their hands abruptly loosened!
Then they discovered that their bodies were falling!

"Ah-"

Amidst screams, the two Heavenly Warriors passed through layers of mist and finally plunged into the water.

Lin Qiru flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

The commander-in-chief and a dozen others were running around in terror.

"Monster! The Heavenly Martial Clan can command flying mutated beasts!"

"It couldn't be a trick of the Heavenly Martial Group! Otherwise, they would have used it already. It must be You Lin Feiyue!"

"The dense fog is also one of You Linfeiyue's methods!"

"It might also be the power of a mutated beast!"

"Everyone calm down! How big can the fog be? If we run out of there in one go, the monster won't be able to do anything!"

The commander-in-chief must immediately calm the people; otherwise, panic will only worsen the situation.

However, the area they were running in was not far from the edge of the cliff, and their movements were under the control of Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue.

Lin Qiru, in her transformed form, suddenly burst out of the thick fog once again, flashing past the group of people!

Two more members of the fleeing group have been removed!
"Too fast! That monster is charging at an incredible speed!"

"Why are you back again! And you've already killed someone so quickly?"

The supreme commander was equally worried, but he forced himself to remain calm and maintain morale, saying:
"Don't worry, everyone! What kind of mutated beasts haven't we seen? We've seen many much larger ones than this thing! How could they possibly kill the Heavenly Warrior so quickly? Even if our comrades who were attacked are in dire straits, they still know to launch an unstoppable retreat!"

"The Commander-in-Chief is right!" The panicked men felt a little relieved.

The worst that could happen is that they can launch an unstoppable escape, which is really nothing to be afraid of.

Just as they were talking, Lin Qiru, in her transformed form, suddenly dashed past once again!
Two people were still taken away; they were carried a short distance before Lin Qiru pushed them into the circular abyss, where they plunged into the water. Suddenly, purple lightning flashed within the abyss!

Fang Yuan couldn't control the newly fallen people in time, and fearing they would climb up the rock wall, he had no choice but to activate ball lightning.

The commander-in-chief and his entourage saw a strange purple light emanating from the thick fog on their right. Not knowing what was inside, they felt even more apprehensive.

A dark, fleeting shadow suddenly flashed by again.

Only a few people remained. The commander-in-chief was prepared and swiftly slashed out with three swords.

However, every knife missed its mark as it passed by the shadowy figure.

Moreover, this did not prevent the shadowy figure from taking two more people away.

"Defensive formation! Wait for the monsters to come!"

The commander-in-chief led the remaining six people, back to back, forming a circle.

The group of people, each holding their Heavenly Martial Blades warily, realized that if they continued to run, they themselves might be the next ones attacked.

Several people waited, waited...

As Lin Qiru approached, she saw the arrow pointing upwards in the mist. Although she didn't understand why, she still flapped her wings and took flight.

Among the defenders, one of them suddenly heard an unusual sound of wind and rain overhead. When he looked up, a dark, black baboon had already landed behind him.

Lin Qiru, in her transformed form as a mongoose, grabbed one enemy with each claw, leading them into the mist, and with a push, sent them into the circular abyss.

Reduce the number of people around the Commander-in-Chief by two!

The circular defensive formation continued to shrink, leaving the remaining four people in a state of panic.

But after waiting a while, the monster didn't come back...

Just as they were about to continue moving, they heard shouts of people searching nearby:

"Search this area carefully! Don't let the Great Commander-in-Chief escape!"

"Not here."

"Look carefully! The footprints ahead are heading this way!"

"There are fewer and fewer footprints, so someone probably ran away and hid."

"What if they jump over the circular water hose and escape via the waterway?"

"We'll take good care of the land, and search it thoroughly!"

The commander-in-chief and his entourage crouched down and waited, remaining vigilant against the approaching flying monster.

But after a while, Bibi didn't come back.

Lin Qiru saw the arrow pointing in the thick fog, flew down the rock wall, and suddenly saw a person. He grabbed him and threw him into the water.

The arrow in the thick fog changed again. Lin Qiru flapped her wings and flew swiftly across the water, catching up with a figure, grabbing it, lifting it up, and spun it in the air before slamming it into the water!

By running back and forth in this manner, they successively brought under control six people who were trying to escape.

So many people shouldn't have escaped control...

However, the people falling from above were too many for Fang Yuan and Ren Xing to manage. Due to the distance, even after controlling the ball lightning, they were still unable to control it.

Lin Qiru's extraordinary strength became the key to saving the day.

The Grand Commander and several others were kept still by the 'search team' in the mist.

"Is this what it feels like to strategize? Although it's not as exciting as facing a direct battle, the experience is still pretty good."

Lin Xiufeng experienced the sense of control over a large group of enemies, as well as the sense of command over a large group of friendly Heavenly Warriors.

It's still quite novel. In the past, when did so many martial artists obey his orders?

"Feels good, doesn't it! Power can be intoxicating and drive you to strive for advancement at all costs!"

"The cost of all this hard work is a bit too high... It would be more pleasant if you took charge of the work and I took charge of the work for you."

Lin Xiufeng knew that Zhao Youyue was deliberately trying to subtly guide him, so he deliberately sabotaged her plans.

"Is this what the teacher meant by 'rotten wood cannot be carved'?"

Zhao Youyue deliberately let out a long sigh.

How could they possibly have kung fu mastered it? The enemies in the Ring Abyss Water Land were all under the control of Thor and the King of the Snake.

Lin Qiru, transformed into a pibi, flapped her wings and flew up the rock wall, rushing straight at the five people led by the Heavenly Commander!
