"He doesn’t need a bracelet. Can he really stay in Mist West?" Xiao Jinsheng asked Li from the other car.

After all, the information she had received stated that the poisonous fog in Mist West could reduce people to white bones.

This was why Task Takers required females to collect missions from the terminal and obtain bracelets.

"He’s Ten Stars, so he can naturally resist part of the poisonous fog," Li explained. "Apart from the bracelet, there are other items that can counteract the fog."

"Deep-sea Mermaid Pearls, Demon Blood Gems from Demon Territory," Li answered, tossing a blood-red gem the size of a pigeon egg in his hand.

Xiao Jinsheng glanced at it—this was precisely what Li had gifted her before, along with a thousand crates of them.

She then understood why Li’s Demon Territory and Shi Xie’s deep sea, both blanketed by the poisonous fog of Mist West, could still sustain life.

"You mentioned earlier that Shi Xie snatched an island with gem mines from you. Could it be those gems that resist the poisonous fog?" Xiao Jinsheng suddenly realized.

"Gems resist the fog faster than a bracelet’s durability value depletes," Li nodded. "That island’s gem mine can sustain Demon Territory for half a year."

"I only took a few flowers from him, and that’s already considered merciful," Li sneered coldly.

When Xiao Jinsheng asked if the island could still be reclaimed, she learned that Shi Xie had blown up the entire island and dragged all the minerals into the deep sea to hide them. She fell silent.

Ten Star Beastman with superpowers—do they all act so wildly?

Xiao Jinsheng looked up at Li sitting beside her.

Well, she had a Ten Star maniac right here.

Currently, Xiao Jinsheng’s spiritual power was at Six Stars, and the bracelet she received indeed had the predicted durability of sixty thousand points.

Looking at the terminal this time, the task was to head to Mist West’s central area and excavate ten Blue Glaze Trees over six years old, which puzzled Xiao Jinsheng.

The terminal tasks weren’t difficult, but they were time-consuming to locate.

Her confusion stemmed from questioning what the terminal was doing with so many trees.

Most of the missions involved collecting flowers and plants in Mist West.

The vehicle arrived at the entrance to Mist West, and everyone had to get out and proceed on foot.

Unlike her first visit, Xiao Jinsheng now had upgraded spiritual power and physical constitution, so she no longer needed to be carried.

She could accelerate and keep up with Li and the others.

However, there was an injured member in the team, so their pace was destined to be slow.

Additionally, fortune didn’t favor them—two hours into Mist West, signs of fog emerged.

Xiao Jinsheng glanced at the time. It was now two in the afternoon.

"It’s going to rain," Shi Xie announced.

Everyone raised their heads to see grayish-white dense fog hovering above.

Since Shi Xie was a Mermaid with water and ice superpowers, his premonition of rain was undoubtedly accurate.

The group quickly searched for a temporary shelter nearby, entering an abandoned 4S dealership before the heavy rain fell.

Fog and rain descended simultaneously, and through the mottled glass, Xiao Jinsheng saw vague silhouettes of Fog Corpses drifting amidst the dense fog and rain.

Because two of the dealership’s walls were made of glass, the group refrained from lighting fires or turning on lamps to avoid attracting the Fog Corpses’ attention.

Additionally, with Shi Xie being an outsider, none of the men would allow him into Xiao Jinsheng’s space.

For a while, silence filled the darkness.

Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes swept across their faces, and suddenly, she chuckled.

"What’s funny?" Que Zelian asked.

"You guys... hahaha..." Xiao Jinsheng stifled her laughter, her shoulders trembling.

"What now, Judge Sis?" Mo Jiao’s purple eyes flashed with exasperation.

"Can’t you see?" Xiao Jinsheng asked. "It’s so dark around, I can’t see your faces, which makes your various eye colors stand out in my vision."

"Red, orange-red," Xiao Jinsheng pointed to Li and Que Zelian first, then gestured to the others, "Gold, purple, green-blue, ice-blue."

"And you," Mo Jiao chimed in.

Just as Xiao Jinsheng’s curious gaze turned to him, he sneered, "Bored."

"Killer Bro, haven’t you felt irritable from lack of docking points lately?" Xiao Jinsheng teased.

She rolled up her sleeves, about to charge at Mo Jiao, but Su Ye stepped in and covered her mouth. "Shh."

"There’s also grayish-white," Su Ye whispered.

"Gray-white? Wait...!" Xiao Jinsheng had been puzzled, but when Su Ye pressed her shoulders and turned her toward the outside, her brown pupils widened in shock.

At this moment, gray-white eyes filled the glass walls of the 4S dealership.

Fog Corpses, their bloodied faces pressed against the glass, their twisted features leering inward.

Xiao Jinsheng hastily covered her mouth, careful not to make a sound.

But wherever Xiao Jinsheng was, Fog Corpses seemed drawn like radar.

Instantly aware, they turned their heads abruptly and stared through piled boxes toward Xiao Jinsheng’s position.

The moment they detected her presence, the Fog Corpses attacked, shattering the flimsy glass and rushing furiously toward Xiao Jinsheng.

Xiao Jinsheng frantically gestured, signaling that she hadn’t made a single sound.

Que Zelian shielded her, but a Five Star Fog Corpse bypassed him entirely, its sole focus on Xiao Jinsheng.

Swarming Fog Corpses paid no attention to star levels or the ferocity of the men encircling Xiao Jinsheng protectively.

They seemed madly fixated on her.

Even Shi Xie noticed something amiss.

"Their target seems to be you?" Shi Xie remarked to Xiao Jinsheng.

"Enter your space," Que Zelian reminded.

Xiao Jinsheng activated the Fog Dispersing Lamp for the men to hold onto. The instant she turned it on, she saw the glow reveal Fog Corpses packed densely within a ten-meter radius.

With Six Stars Spiritual Power, although not particularly strong in attack, Xiao Jinsheng could discern Fog Corpses of lower star levels.

The ones charging at the front were Three and Four Star Fog Corpses.

Those standing outside, gray-white with eerie, human-like smirks, were Six Stars or higher.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Xiao Jinsheng decisively tried to enter her space.

Yet, at that moment, she found her link to the space severed.

"I can’t go in," Xiao Jinsheng alerted.

"There’s an Eleven Star interference superpower Fog Corpse," Li said gravely.

"How... how many stars?" Xiao Jinsheng was dumbfounded.

Li glanced at the others and pushed Xiao Jinsheng into Que Zelian’s arms. "Keep her safe. Without eliminating that interfering Fog Corpse, she won’t be able to enter her space."

Outside, fog mixed with rain.

The rain, infused with poisonous fog, was toxic—its dangers went beyond what bracelet durability could defend against.

Until the rain stopped, with Fog Corpses outside multiplying, Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t leave this decrepit building.

"Be careful," Xiao Jinsheng said worriedly, her hand gripping the handgun tightly.

"It’s just Eleven Stars," Li sneered, his crimson eyes meeting hers with reassurance. "Protect yourself."

A band of black light tinged with red shimmered in Li’s palm, morphing into countless fragmented circular blades. The Blood Blades formed chains that swept forward.

Smashing through two glass walls, the invading Fog Corpses—regardless of star level—had their heads severed and fell like dominoes.

The intruding Fog Corpses were instantly slaughtered, leaving a vacuum space and giving the rest of them a moment to regroup.

Li’s silhouette darted into the rainstorm, diving into the heap of Seven and Eight Star Fog Corpses surrounding the outside, dragging out the Eleven Star interfering Fog Corpse from the center.

"You came out," the interfering Fog Corpse grinned, flashing a bloodied grimace.

Its gray-white gaze turned naturally to the building, now besieged by another wave of Fog Corpses. "You’re not inside, so you can’t stop me from taking the Star Stone Origin."

Noticing something amiss, Li spun around abruptly, seeing another Eleven Star Earth Element Fog Corpse detonating a tall wall of the dealership, charging straight for Xiao Jinsheng.

Li hurriedly retreated, but the interfering Fog Corpse blocked his path.

It laughed greedily and maliciously. "Your fight... is with me."
