112: Chapter 112: Night of Mist_1 112: Chapter 112: Night of Mist_1 “Big Cat!
No using telekinesis to peek at the cards!”
“Wu~”
“Dreaming Dragon Baby!
If you fly around the field to look at the cards again, you’re not playing!”
“Arrogant…”
“Cotton…
your little tail has already betrayed you, did you not know when you use telekinesis your tail gives off a faint glow?”
“ow?!”
While playing cards, Feng Yuan helplessly corrected the Spirit Beasts’ sneaky maneuvers.
After a long ti, everyone felt a bit tired.
They packed up the cards and saw a blanket of whiteness outside the Crystal Barrier.
Feng Yuan said in surprise,
“Is the mist on Cloud Summit Mountain really that thick?”
“It doesn’t seem to be this thick usually.
Be careful when you take the night watch later; I have a feeling this mist is sowhat abnormal.”
“Should we leave earlier…”
“What’s wrong?
Just because the mist is a bit thicker doesn’t an…?”
Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen with so puzzlent, and Qi Chen said with a helpless tone,
“I’m worried that if anything else happens, it’ll be troubleso.
Don’t forget, we just got trapped in the Erald Ruins for several days.
If you don’t want to spend your entire vacation in so weird place…”
“That shouldn’t happen…”
“Hard to say; this strange mist is a bit suspicious.”
“But descending the mountain now seems to pose a bigger problem; we can’t even see the path.
How are we supposed to go down…”
Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen tried to step out of the Crystal Barrier.
As soon as he left, he imdiately turned around and rushed back, sighing helplessly,
“Alright, it looks like we’re trapped here.”
“Can’t be, right?”
“You really can’t see anything outside.
If it weren’t for his Crystal Barrier, we probably wouldn’t even be able to see where the tents are.”
Qi Chen explained with a wry smile to Qi Xiaoshuang, who walked out of the Crystal Barrier with a look of skepticism.
He quickly ca rushing back and said sowhat speechlessly,
“This mist is way too thick; even a Soul Summoning lody would only do about this much.”
“Could it be soone’s Soul Summoning lody?”
“Impossible.
If that were the case, the Guard Squad would have acted by now.
Don’t underestimate the number of tourists on Cloud Summit Mountain; Cha Mu Town takes the Cha Mu Forest very seriously.”
Yang Hongzhi was quite certain as he spoke to Qi Chen, who scratched his head and said,
“So what’s the deal with this mist now?”
“Two people a group for night watch in rotation.”
“Eh?”
Upon hearing Dou Yanlan’s sudden suggestion, Qi Chen didn’t react right away.
Feng Yuan took out his phone and looked at it, saying,
“It shouldn’t be a big problem, at least the mobile signal is still normal.
But rotating night watch in groups of two…”
Feng Yuan’s gaze unconsciously shifted to Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan.
Qi Chen, blushing and dissatisfied, said,
“Aren’t we considering going down the mountain anymore?”
“Go down the mountain how?
Can’t even see the path, we’ll just have to stay over tonight~”
“With that schadenfreude expression of yours, be careful we might end up trapped here the whole vacation.”
“No way~”
Feng Yuan laughed smugly.
Qi Chen unhappily glanced at Feng Yuan, while Dou Yanlan said calmly,
“You and Yang Hongzhi are the strongest among us, you can’t be in the sa group.”
“Eh?
But I wanted to tease Najia a bit.”
“Gina?”
“Why do I see so kind of nefarious intent in your expression?”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously and said.
Feng Yuan, with a ‘you’ve got ’ expression, replied,
“What nefarious intent~ A long night is boring without a song, isn’t it interesting~”
“And then sothing strange gets summoned, right?
Don’t do anything absurd in the middle of the night!”
“How do you know it will summon sothing strange~”
“You’re really planning on going big, huh!”
Realizing Qi Chen was looking at him disapprovingly, Feng Yuan quickly said,
“No, no~ The Soul Summoning lody probably won’t summon any powerful Spirit Beasts~”
“Playing the Soul Summoning lody in the wilderness…
you can do it…”
“The situation is a bit special right now, so let’s not use those moves that could attract Spirit Beasts…”
Qi Chen and Yang Hongzhi looked sowhat speechlessly at Feng Yuan, who scratched his head and said,
“If we shouldn’t, then we shouldn’t.
But for night watch, let Yanlan and Hongzhi be one team, and with Qi Chen can be another team.
That works.”
“What about ?”
“Do you have a Spirit Beast?”
“Tsk, I kindly offered to keep you company on the night watch, hmph!
I’ll sleep by myself till morning!”
Qi Xiaoshuang glared at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction.
Qi Chen hesitated for a mont before agreeing to Feng Yuan’s plan.
As everyone chatted by the campfire and saw the faint mist appearing inside the Crystal Barrier, Qi Chen said with so concern,
“Is it because the fog outside is too dense?”
“Hmm…
This fog really is too strange.”
“Hey!
What are you doing!”
Seeing Feng Yuan stand up and walk to the edge of the Barrier, Qi Chen shouted, Xiao Ji climbed onto Feng Yuan’s shoulder, curiously looking at the vast whiteness outside the Barrier.
Feng Yuan extended his hand outside and then drew it back, noticing it was covered in water droplets.
He shook off his hand and sat back down by the campfire, saying,
“This fog is too eerie; it seems to be sowhat warm.”
“Warm?
Are you sure?”
“If you don’t believe , you can try it yourself.”
After everyone had tried it, they sat back by the campfire, looking sowhat nervous.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Hongzhi said,
“I’ll report our situation here to the Guard Squad.”
“Okay~”
“How could this be…
I hope it doesn’t turn into a major disaster…”
Watching Yang Hongzhi walk aside to make a call, Qi Chen said sowhat speechlessly.
Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, seed lost in thought and didn’t respond to Qi Chen’s words.
Qi Xiaoshuang suddenly rembered sothing and said with a hint of excitent,
“Could it be that the attack started from here?”
“Attack?”
“Fortunetelling, rember?
That prediction I received when I t the White Wolf Deity again?
The fog has warmth, and together with what Feng Yuan found earlier, it indicates the presence of so strange Fire-Attribute Spirit Beast here.
Plus, considering the burning forest in the prediction, doesn’t Cha Mu Town have the most forests~”
“But the site of the attack and the reunion is in the city area, where there aren’t any forests.”
“This…”
Feng Yuan’s remark made Qi Xiaoshuang recognize a serious flaw in her hypothesis, and she sighed, resuming her contemplation beside the campfire.
After hearing Qi Xiaoshuang’s words, Yang Hongzhi also hesitated for a while before including the information in his report.
“We’re going to rest now, rember to wake us later.”
When the ti for rest ca, Feng Yuan said to Yang Hongzhi and Dou Yanlan.
Upon seeing their nod, Feng Yuan crawled into the tent.
Upon seeing Xiao Ji sitting beside him with reinvigorated spirits, Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said,
“Alright, ti to rest, don’t complain again tomorrow that I didn’t wake you.”
“Ji~”
“Hurry up and rest, I’m going to sleep.”
Seeing that Xiao Ji didn’t seem ready to rest, Feng Yuan yawned but didn’t say much else.
After repeating his words, he lay down and drifted off to sleep.
Yang Hongzhi and Dou Yanlan sat by the campfire, where Yang Hongzhi occasionally chatted with Najia while Dou Yanlan sat quietly, occasionally playing with Cotton, who had stayed to keep her company during the night watch.
“Wake up, it’s your turn.”
“Mmm…
okay…”
Struggling to rise, Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi in front of him and said with a smile,
“Thank you guys for your hard work~”
“I’m going to rest.
Be careful about everything.”
After admonishing Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi, yawning, carefully cradled the sleeping Najia and left.
Feng Yuan reached out to rub Xiao Ji and said,
“Wake up~”
Seeing Xiao Ji looking like he couldn’t get up, Feng Yuan shook his head and held him in his arms.
Noticing Qi Chen had already left the tent, Feng Yuan nodded to the now-awake Dreaming Dragon Baby and left the tent too.
He saw Qi Chen holding Ah Mu in front of the campfire.
Just as Feng Yuan sat down, Qi Chen looked around with so concern and said,
“The fog seems to be getting thicker and thicker.
Will we be able to descend the mountain tomorrow?”
“There shouldn’t be a problem…
The sun should dispel a lot of it once it cos up.”
Looking at the fog forming inside the White Crystal Barrier, Feng Yuan said uncertainly.
Qi Chen let out a sigh and said,
“I hope no more strange things happen…
The incident at the Erald Ruins was really…”
“Do I actually hate Xiao Shuang deep down…”
“The more familiar you are with soone, the easier it is to overlook the good they do for you.
It’s only when you lose them that you realize their value.
Why, are you still feeling guilty about that incident?
Although it was a false past created from the desires in your heart, you don’t need to mind it, do you?
After all, you’re too familiar with Xiao Shuang.
What you could potentially rember are probably just her flaws~”
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and hugged Ah Mu while staring into the campfire.
