Chapter 1194 - 526: The Real and Fake Ning Qi! (Part 2)

"Yes, the gray mist has obscured the sun, so naturally, they can come out!"

"So, if we go further, we will definitely be attacked by these demons."

Ning Qi nodded, sharing the same grave expression.

"Then... shall we go back?"

"I just don’t know what the situation would be like if we do go back!"

Xu Qingqiu glanced back, her face filled with worry.

At this point, they were caught in a dilemma.

Everything ahead was unknown, but the same was true for what lay behind.

Strange trees, demons, and the Cannibal Tree.

Those hills, she now felt were definitely not simple.

Having come this far, she somewhat regretted coming here.

But they had already come this far, there was no turning back.

"Keep going, if it really doesn’t work, we’ll hide inside the Alchemy Furnace."

Ning Qi gritted his teeth and spoke solemnly.

"But in such a dense gray mist area, if we are surrounded, I’m afraid we won’t have a chance to come out again!"

"We’ll surely be trapped to death inside the Alchemy Furnace!"

Xu Qingqiu said anxiously.

"Master, why don’t we go back and see the situation first?"

"Going forward is really too dangerous."

"Don’t worry, I should be fine!"

"Let’s go, keep moving forward and see the situation!"

Ning Qi looked at everyone, then continued, "Even if we go back, I’m afraid the road is already gone!"

"From the beginning, we’ve been plotted against!"

"Who?"

Upon hearing his words, Xu Qingqiu couldn’t help but ask.

"Those who are here, or rather the creator of this place!"

"He laid the Power of Laws here, which shows that this person’s strength must be very strong!"

"Otherwise, how could he easily use the Power of Laws?"

After a moment of analysis, Ning Qi continued, "Now, I feel this is not a trap."

"On the contrary, I feel like this is a series of tests."

"Only those who pass his tests can see the true face."

"Test?"

Xu Qingqiu fell into thought upon hearing him.

Ning Qi had convinced her.

Since they were already here, why not see what it was all about?

"Let’s go, don’t worry, these demons can’t harm us!"

"Daytime and nighttime, after all, are different!"

"As long as you follow me closely, there will definitely be no problems!"

Full of confidence, Ning Qi called for a few people to continue on their way.

"Okay!"

"Let’s go!"

Encouraged by Ning Qi, they began to move forward again.

As they delved deeper, the gray mist indeed became denser and denser.

Soon, their visibility became very low.

"Miss Xu, stay close to me!"

Ning Qi reminded in a deep voice beside Xu Qingqiu.

"Okay!"

Xu Qingqiu, at this moment, holding her Nine-tailed Cat, still replied.

The Medicine Spirit had long since hidden, never showing its face.

"Master, why don’t we hide in his Alchemy Furnace!"

"I feel it’s really dangerous here!"

The fur all over the Nine-tailed Cat stood on end, apparently very afraid.

"Alright, you all come in then!"

"It’s faster for me to scout ahead alone!"

Ning Qi listened to the Nine-tailed Cat, looked at Xu Qingqiu: "You’ll be safer too."

"No need, you can take the Nine-tailed Cat with you!"

"I’ll keep following you!"

Xu Qingqiu gently shook her head, declining Ning Qi’s goodwill.

"Alright!"

The Nine-tailed Cat, already terrified, quickly agreed.

"Alright, then come in!"

Seeing this, Ning Qi directly gestured to collect the Nine-tailed Cat first.

Then, looking around the environment, he said to Xu Qingqiu, "It’s very dangerous here, demons could appear at any moment!"

"Make sure to keep up!"

"Okay!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then walked with Ning Qi.

Unconsciously, due to nervousness, she reached out her slender, delicate hand.

Directly grabbing hold of Ning Qi’s hand.

At first, it was nothing, but after walking a while, Xu Qingqiu gradually felt something was off.

Ning Qi was a living person, and a young person at that.

So, how could his hand be so cold?

The more Xu Qingqiu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She secretly held a dagger in her other hand.

Looking at the figure ahead.

"Ning Qi, what did you see in that secret chamber earlier?"

She deliberately asked Ning Qi.

"Secret chamber? Discover what?"

"Didn’t find anything!"

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"How could you forget?"

Xu Qingqiu feigned ignorance and questioned.

"I didn’t forget, just stop trying to trick me, it’s a secret, how could I tell you?"

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "You don’t need to worry about anything, just follow me!"

"Swish!"

However, what responded to him was Xu Qingqiu’s dagger.

"Puff!"

With one slash, Ning Qi was caught off guard.

Directly slicing open his arm.

Immediately, black blood flowed from his arm.

In that blood were sticky black substances, making one’s skin crawl.

A nauseating sight.

"Qingqiu, what are you doing!"

Ning Qi held his injured arm, staring in surprise at Xu Qingqiu, who stood alert.

"You’re not Ning Qi, I entered the secret chamber with him!"

"What’s inside, I know without you saying!"

"Instead, you’re hiding it from me!"

Xu Qingqiu held the dagger, looking coldly at Ning Qi: "Furthermore, you didn’t know!"

"Ning Qi would never call me Qingqiu!"

"Haha! Little girl, you’re really clever!"

"You actually found out!"

This Ning Qi sneered, looking at Xu Qingqiu: "Since you’ve discovered, there’s no need to pretend!"

"Come with me, and I’ll ensure your comfort!"

"Refuse, and I’ll call my companions to deal with you here, making life worse than death!"

"Be tormented by me alone, or be tormented by everyone, draining your Yin Qi!"

"Hmph, do you think you alone can threaten me?"

Xu Qingqiu snorted, then immediately brought out a long sword.

Her cold eyes fixed on him.

"What about with us?"

"And me!"

"..."

Following her words, countless Ning Qis gradually emerged from the surroundings.

At first, they all looked like Ning Qi, but later they transformed into demon shapes.

Each one was a mass of black mist, with a highly decayed corpse inside the black mist.

Controlled by the dense mist.

Mocking in front of Xu Qingqiu.

"Damn it."

Xu Qingqiu didn’t expect to be caught in it.

She had no idea when it all started.

But facing so many demons, she couldn’t be a match.

"Haha, obediently come with us, and you’ll enjoy all the good things life has to offer!"

A demon stepped forward, digging out a piece of nearly rotting flesh from its body: "I can give you all my flesh to eat!"

"As long as you lend me your Yin Qi for a while!"

"I promise you’ll have a blast!"

"Hmph, don’t even think about it, even if I die, I won’t let you succeed!"

Xu Qingqiu was filled with goosebumps from their words.

Facing their provocation, she didn’t dare to act rashly.

She could only retreat tightly.

But she was already surrounded, no matter where she retreated, it was of no use.

"Hehe, where do you think you’re going?"

"After all the trouble we went to find you, is this how you repay us?"

"You think you can escape by committing suicide?"

"Even if we turn you into one of us, we won’t let you go, making life worse than death!"

"..."

These demons drooled, gradually encircling her.

"Don’t come any closer! Or we’ll die together!"

Xu Qingqiu looked despairingly at the demons: "One more step, and I’ll self-destruct! None of us will escape!"

"Self-destruct? Hmph, where will your soul go?"

"It will be devoured by us!"

"Right! Go ahead and explode, we’re waiting for you!"

"..."

However, they were not at all afraid of her self-destruction.
