The spread of the blood-red mist was obviously faster than anyone had imagined.
Director He and company hadn’t even made it down the mountain before they were already surrounded by the red mist.
Soon after, they saw beads of blood seeping out of their pores.
This scene frightened everyone to their core.
Everyone clenched their jaws, using all their strength to desperately escape down the mountain.
But as they ran, they went numb.
In the vast red mist, visibility was only a few ters, and everyone very thoroughly got lost.
"Director He, where are we going?"
Group Leader Qi wiped sweat from his brow and instinctively looked down, finding his hand covered in a mixture of blood and sweat.
Even though he knew this was a normal phenonon in the blood mist, he was still startled.
"How... how would I know?"
Director He furrowed his brows, his face full of anxiety.
In the middle of the blood mist, unable to distinguish east from west, how was he supposed to find the way out?
"Damn those Eagle Country people!"
A tall male team mber couldn’t help but curse.
Upon hearing this, the others also showed looks of resentnt.
If it weren’t for Mark and his reckless actions, they wouldn’t have been trapped in this bizarre blood mist.
If matters weren’t handled properly today, they might end up losing their lives here.
"Old Daoist, this blood mist is too strange!"
"We still need your help to get us out!"
Director He said, habitually turning his head to look behind him, ready to ask Zhenyuan to help them escape the blood mist’s range.
However, when he turned around, he found that there was no sign of Zhenyuan behind him.
The old Daoist had been following behind him all along!
Where was he now?
Where did he go?
Not only Director He, but Group Leader Qi and the others were also bewildered.
Everyone was so focused on escaping just now that no one knew when Zhenyuan disappeared.
Helpless, they could only stand there, staring at each other blankly.
"It’s over, I don’t want to die..."
The chubby young man looked at the blood vapor slowly rising from his body and suddenly broke down.
Though the others weren’t voicing their tears, their faces were full of despair.
Just then, a burst of ochre light suddenly exploded from the soil not far in front of them.
This scene frightened everyone.
They thought it was that vampire zombie coming back to hunt them!
When the ochre light dissipated, they finally saw that it was Zhenyuan and the female team mber who had fallen behind earlier.
"Old Daoist, you’re finally here!"
Director He’s face instantly lit up with joy.
The others felt the sa; their look of despair vanished instantly.
They looked at Zhenyuan as if seeing a savior in an apocalypse.
"Old Daoist, we’re trapped here by the blood mist."
"Please lead us out!"
Group Leader Qi spoke with excitent.
"Naturally!"
Zhenyuan nodded slightly in response.
Then, he retrieved two talismans from his chest.
The first talisman was a Flash Talisman.
Once he injected True Qi into it, the talisman quickly transford into a ball of light, floating above everyone’s heads like a small sun.
The blood mist, which had previously made it impossible to distinguish directions, beca much more translucent under the light’s illumination.
The surrounding terrain and landscape once again clearly unfolded before them.
The second talisman was an Exorcism Talisman.
Since Lu Heng had drawn the Exorcism Talisman, it hadn’t been put to much use.
But now, the Exorcism Talisman, which had been gathering dust, finally had its mont.
When Zhenyuan activated the Exorcism Talisman, a faint white light emanated from it.
Wherever the white light touched, the blood mist retreated like snow lting under a blazing sun.
In the blink of an eye, the area three ters around Zhenyuan was clear of any blood mist.
This was the range that one Exorcism Talisman could cover.
Seeing this, Director He and the others were overjoyed!
Now all they wanted was to hold onto Zhenyuan’s leg and call him "dad."
Why? Because this old Daoist was just too reliable!
"You must take care not to leave the range of the white light!"
After advising everyone, Zhenyuan strode forward confidently.
The others kept nodding, following closely behind him.
Without the blood mist’s interference, they quickly made it down the mountain.
The investigation teams from various countries rushed over as soon as they heard the commotion and waited at a safe distance, about a hundred ters from the mountain base.
When they saw the Dragon Country investigation team, surrounded by white light with a glowing ball overhead, they stood frozen in shock.
What was going on?
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.
"He, what happened on the mountain?"
"We heard explosions and saw a burst of flas in the sky."
Henderson motioned for his team to capture the scene of the Dragon Country team and then walked up to Director He and the others, urgently asking.
"Mark’s plan went awry!"
Talking about it made Director He furious.
He irritatedly recounted Mark’s previous actions to Henderson.
Henderson was dumbfounded.
What happened?
The second Eagle Country investigation team was gone again?
He thought Mark was a bit smarter than Leonard, but both turned out foolish!
"Mr. Henderson, the red mist is still spreading!"
Suddenly soone exclaid.
Upon hearing this, Henderson and Director He hurriedly turned to look.
Sure enough, the blood mist, which had been stationary at the mountain base, was once again starting to spread forward.
In just two or three minutes, the blood mist was less than thirty ters away from everyone.
"Look, there’s that black coffin!"
Soone else cried out in alarm.
Everyone looked up, eyes widening.
In the sky nearly a hundred ters above, a black coffin was slowly floating forward.
The blood mist surrounding the coffin moved with it.
"This is bad! It seems Mark’s actions thoroughly enraged the vampire creature!"
"It’s definitely coming for us!"
"Run! Get back to the pre-set ambush zone..."
Henderson shouted.
Hearing this, everyone knew they were racing against the blood mist and didn’t dare waste ti.
They threw their backpacks away and ran frantically toward the ambush zone Mark had delineated.
It’s not that they were cowardly, but the vampire creature hidden in the black coffin was far too powerful!
If the vampire wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as squashing ants.
The disparity in strength was so overwhelming that they couldn’t muster any thought of resistance.
Reaching the ambush zone sooner and letting the vampire creature taste their airplanes, tanks, and cannons was the only truth they believed in!
However, what they didn’t anticipate was that no matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t outrun the black coffin flying through the air.
In less than ten minutes, the blood mist enveloped them all...
