Chapter 540: Regaining strength, the beast lies dormant

Thick fog can confuse your vision, making it easy to get lost and unable to distinguish the direction. You need to use a compass and other equipment to assist.

Identifying the direction is not a big problem and can be easily solved.

Everyone prepared compasses, direction-finding tools, spells, etc. early.

In addition, the line of sight is blocked, which is the most intuitive and the most difficult problem to solve.

Other monks may have prepared treasures to assist in exploring the path, which is a good idea.

Regarding this point, Chen Qingyun tried to sacrifice the Tailing Gourd and Palm Bottle.

The Tailing Pot has the effect of restraining poisonous gas. Once used, the mist can also be inhaled.

But these mists are constantly flowing, as if they are endless, and they cannot be absorbed at all.

The palm bottle can restrain liquid attacks such as venom and true water. Even if it is used, it will not have any restraint effect on the fog, so it has little effect here.

"This fog is difficult to remove. Even if it is absorbed or consumed, it will automatically replenish the amount of fog that disappears."

"It's too whimsical. If the fog could be suppressed so easily, with such opportunistic methods, I'm afraid the method to crack it would have been spread long ago."

Chen Qingyun put away his magic weapon and tried to expand his field of vision.

Although his sight is blocked.

But according to the puppet's ability, if the three-meter-one statue is used as a connection point, it can be connected in this way.

After some layout, it is possible to achieve a viewing distance of six meters, nine meters, and twelve meters based on three meters.

In theory, this is correct.

Just line up the puppets, detect a distance of three meters each, and combine them again and again, adding Chen Qingyun himself.

Then the farthest place that can be seen is thirty-six meters.

The premise for this is that the twelve puppets must appear together, arranged in a straight line, and share a field of vision in one direction.

If the puppets are spread around and arranged in a three-square grid, six-square grid, etc., the field of view will be greatly reduced.

This field of view is still too small.

The flying sword wielded by the Zifu monk can reach a distance of 100 meters in an instant.

Void spirits are also fast. There is not much difference in their eyes between a distance of more than thirty meters and a distance of three meters.

"This method won't work either. Keeping the twelve puppets moving for a long time will consume too much of my mana. I will be unable to bear it within half a day."

Chen Qingyun summarized that there are two main difficulties in crossing the foggy area.

The first point is to deal with the void spirits.

The strength of this Void Spirit is said to be between the late Zifu and the peak of Zifu. It is still quite difficult for ordinary Zifu monks.

Chen Qingyun estimated that the strength of the one he had met and glanced at earlier had reached the late Zifu stage.

According to the cover of the fog and the advantage of his huge size, he launched an attack on the monk and won easily.

Chen Qingyun didn't even notice the sudden appearance of the other party.

It can be said that once this creature moves in the fog, it launches a sneak attack.

Even Chen Qingyun needs to deal with it quickly, and he cannot predict in advance where the opponent will appear from and how many there will be.

If you encounter a group of void spirits, you might as well run if you can't defeat them.

In addition, the second point is what worries Chen Qingyun the most.

While exploring, Chen Qingyun discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the mist was very thin, almost to the point of being non-existent.

The lack of supply of spiritual energy from heaven and earth means that no matter how strong the monks are, as long as they are active here for a long time, they will definitely consume mana.

If you want to restore your qi, blood, and magic power, you can't do it through cultivation and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The only feasible and most direct way is to take pills and spiritual objects to achieve rapid recovery.

This depends on your own elixirs and whether the material preparations are sufficient.

After continuing to move for a stick of incense, I probably traveled a distance of about a kilometer.

At this distance, the fog ahead becomes thicker, and it looks like a monster is swooping out at any time, making people want to stop.

At this moment, you can clearly feel that there is an icy chill in the surrounding air.

Even with the Taoist body of a Zifu monk, he would still feel a chill if he was active here for a long time.

Chen Qingyun stopped moving forward and quickly retreated along the original path.

After leaving the foggy area, we set foot on the vast and empty land again, and the air became fresh again.

With his sight unobstructed, Chen Qingyun took a few deep breaths and felt as if he had changed to a different world. He only felt that his ears and eyes were clear and the sky was high, allowing birds to fly.

"The fog is indeed too thick now. Instead of taking risks alone and encountering unknown dangers, it is better to wait for the window to appear."

"When the fog fades a little, the field of vision will be much wider, which will also increase the reaction time to deal with the void spirits."

"The patriarch and Zhilan, I have to join them as soon as possible and try to form a team to cross this foggy area together."

Chen Qingyun made up his mind and was not in a hurry to leave now.

Since the fog has a window period, it is natural that it will not show off at this time. Anyone who can spend less effort and time will choose this way.

The annular cloud layer and the core of the Immortal Mansion have always been located there. They have been like this for thousands of years. They cannot escape, so there is nothing to worry about.

Chen Qingyun looked around and made sure there was no threat, so he simply started meditating on the spot.

The six puppets were spread out in a six-square grid, lurking around and acting as guardians.

In the afternoon, Chen Qingyun counted the pills on his body.

There are more than 100 bottles of second- and third-level pills for restoring mana and blood, which are the harvest accumulated over the past ten years.

Some of the pills have a short shelf life and cannot be preserved until now.

For example, the Jade Qiong Spiritual Liquid was completely consumed six years ago.

So if mana is to be restored, it can only be done with pills.

Another thing is the magic weapon for storing mana. Chen Qingyun has a Qinglian Yangshentai, which stores mana of the same magnitude as the main body.

In addition, the middle-grade spirit stones on the body, and even the more precious high-grade spirit stones, can also be used as supplies to quickly restore mana at critical moments.

In front of life, spirit stones are naturally external objects.

With pills and Qinglian Yangshentai as a backing, Chen Qingyun is more or less confident that he can cross half of the distance of this foggy area alone.

As long as the void monsters don’t swarm up, it’s fine, otherwise who can bear it and can only wail.

Next, we have to wait for the foggy window to come. According to the rules summarized by Taoist friends of all generations, this window will appear once every six months.

Counting the days, we only need to wait for another three months at most.

While waiting, if we can form a team and wait for Chen Xianming and Liu Zhilan to travel together, the three of us can help each other and save mana, which would be great.

While Chen Qingyun was temporarily staying, the other cultivators around him, a total of sixteen people, had arrived, like a group of ferocious beasts lurking here, and the atmosphere became extremely tense and full of gunpowder.
