With the final key fragnt in hand, all the key fragnts Feng Yuan had stored in his backpack erged. Looking at the two tal discs, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said
"Finally, it’s done."
The Black Mist unsurprisingly sealed the carousel, but this ti it was different from before. As the Black Mist sealed the carousel, the entire amusent park seed to enter a state of closure. The flickering neon lights gradually dimd, leaving only the dim streetlights barely illuminating the way. The decorations that originally looked brand new suddenly appeared mottled and decayed, as if they had experienced the passage of ti in an instant.
"Tsk, this environntal change, could it be they’re throwing so strange creatures at us?"
With a pout, Feng Yuan complained as he hurried toward the entrance of the Tashimar Fantasy Circus. The white fog quietly gathered, and waves of coldness sent a shiver down Feng Yuan’s spine.
"This change is indeed strange. Could this be another hurdle?"
Veronia surveyed the surroundings and said perplexedly, as the white fog thickened, it seed there was so dangerous presence lurking in the shadows, secretly watching the group. However, before she could decide whether or not to step into the thick fog to investigate, a giant crack blocked their path forward.
The crevice ran across the road, reaching into the distance. Feng Yuan approached the fissure in the earth and leaned over to look at the abyss that appeared bottomless, and said
"This thing seems impossible to fly directly over. Strange, what’s the purpose of severing the path at this ti."
"Perhaps it’s necessary to defeat an enemy before proceeding?"
Noticing the strange creature erging from the shadows, Veronia narrowed her eyes and summoned the Crystal Rose, launching it. The vines of the Crystal Rose shot into the fog like sharp spears, but apart from a faint sound of sothing penetrating fabric, nothing else happened.
"What a bother, I thought clearing those amusent facilities was enough."
With a sigh, Feng Yuan clapped his hands and walked toward the greenery shrouded in white fog. The closer he got, the more apparent the peculiar shadows hidden in the dim light of the fog beca.
The crystal-clear lance of the Crystal Rose stabbed into those shadows, yet they seed completely unaffected, sotis vibrating.
What are those things? Feng Yuan found it strange; there were no signs of life from them, and they seed not to be living beings. Could they be so Ghost Series creatures?
With this thought, Feng Yuan intentionally lagged a step behind Xiao Ji. The entity posed no significant threat, at least not as far as he could perceive. If indeed it was a Ghost Series creature, letting Xiao Ji handle it would be just right, since its attributes naturally restrained strange creatures like this.
Xiao Ji hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to think so much; it only perceived Feng Yuan’s step backward as a feeling of protection, making Xiao Ji quite delighted, blissfully ignoring the fact that Feng Yuan’s strength was clearly higher than its own and would hardly require protection.
Excitedly, Xiao Ji made a sound and flapped its wings, stirring up a fierce wind. However, the wind did not blow away the white fog; instead, the shadows trembled more violently in the wind. Upon seeing this, Feng Yuan was stunned; could that thing possibly be...
Rushing forward, seeing the scarecrow obscured by the white fog, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said puzzledly
"Are we scaring ourselves?"
"No, where did the scarecrow co from in this place? Besides, when we passed here earlier, did you see such a thing?"
Veronia followed closely, regarding the scarecrow with a serious expression. Although the object appeared harmless, its re presence was abnormal.
"A terrifying scarecrow? Forget it, let’s just destroy it and be done."
Circling around the scarecrow, Feng Yuan muttered as he borrowed power from Xiao Ji, hurling a pitch-black fireball at the scarecrow, watching it engulfed in fierce flas. Feng Yuan scratched his head and said
"This thing, really has no life?"
Xiao Ji’s Fla of Death had a strong restraining effect on Ghost Series creatures. Thus, with this fiery encounter, Feng Yuan guessed it might be a high-concentration aggregation of Ghost Power; otherwise, the flas wouldn’t burn so vigorously. But conversely, if it were a Ghost Series creature, it wouldn’t be so unresponsive to being burned.
"Perhaps the enemy is sothing quite peculiar."
Sensing sothing, Veronia smiled strangely and hooked a finger, the Crystal Rose lance abruptly erging from the ground, instantly piercing a cute rabbit. In Feng Yuan’s view, the rabbit, with its snow-white fur, seed quite adorable, except its crimson eyes appeared ominously unsettling.
"A demon disguised as a rabbit?"
Watching the lively rabbit, Feng Yuan said confusedly; it seed oddly unaffected, even though Veronia had heavily injured it.
"It doesn’t look like it. This thing appears to be an elental aggregate with no real soul, why not let Xiao Ji test it to find out?"
Pinching her chin and observing the strange rabbit, Veronia suggested. Xiao Ji looked at Veronia and Feng Yuan with confusion, not understanding the situation, why was it dragged into this matter?
"An elental aggregate? Xiao Ji, try using attacks targeting the soul to see if you elicit a different reaction."
Hearing Veronia’s words, Feng Yuan instructed Xiao Ji. Although unclear of Feng Yuan’s intentions, Xiao Ji followed Feng Yuan’s directive. Yet, the Death Series’ ultimate move against the rabbit only made its form appear sowhat ethereal.
"It’s indeed an elental aggregate, a special one condensed from emotions. But why a rabbit?"
Staring at the rabbit still trying to escape the Crystal Rose lance that pierced it, Feng Yuan muttered and sighed. This sudden appearance was truly...
Since no significant information could be gleaned from the rabbit, Feng Yuan eventually let Xiao Ji completely disband it. As the energy forming the rabbit dispersed, the surrounding white fog unexpectedly receded, and even the giant crack vanished with the retreat of the fog.
"Truly bizarre things; could it be we need to clear rabbits throughout the amusent park?"
Seeing the fog disperse only in a small area, Feng Yuan said with a headache. Due to the elental aggregate nature of the rabbit, its tracks were challenging to find, and with the amusent park being so vast, thoroughly clearing them could consu an unimaginable amount of ti.
"Perhaps, but then again, it might not be necessary."
After pondering for a mont, Veronia smiled slightly and said. With a sigh, Feng Yuan led the group forward once more.
Along the way, earthly cracks appeared now and then, but these didn’t present much of an obstacle for the group. Knowing the key to overcoming them, it was rely a matter of spending so effort in seeking out the rabbits.
Upon arriving at the giant iron gate, seeing there hadn’t been much change, Feng Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, we don’t have to completely clear the amusent park; otherwise, it’d be a real pain."
Placing the two disc keys into the corresponding slots, there were two soft clicks, and the locks securing the gate slowly released. Without needing Feng Yuan to push, the gate suddenly began to open inward slowly. At the sa ti, cheerful music ca from behind the door, despite looking like an iron gate unable to block the wind; it seed to separate two different realms.
Noticing the white fog reappearing behind them, starting to approach the iron door, Najia urgently shouted
"Hurry up and close the door!"
Although unsure of the cause behind the white fog’s abnormal changes, it guessed sothing unfavorable was happening. Upon hearing Najia’s shout, Feng Yuan, though confused, quickly dashed inside.
As the group ran into the colorful mosaic tile path in front of the circus, Yang Hongzhi, under Najia’s guidance, worked with Xiao Hei to close the door.
Seeing the area behind them once again covered by the white fog, Feng Yuan was puzzled and said
"What’s that thing up to now?"
Contrary to the now eerie amusent park, the current location where the group stood was illuminated by various colorful lights. Cheerful music and occasional giggles from children made the iron gate seem like the door dividing hell and paradise.
"I don’t know what the white fog truly is, but I feel if it infiltrates this area, sothing bad will happen."
Najia explained to Feng Yuan, though rely a hunch, Najia felt this wasn’t without reason, although it wasn’t clear why it had such a premonition.
