Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Dare to Ask the Young Lady’s Name (Seeking Recommendations, Collections, and Likes)

Discovered?

That shouldn’t be!

Unless the Spirit Body reveals its hostility, it should be undetectable.

Yun Ting is a Spirit Body of the Mysterious Species. As long as she suppresses her own mysterious aura and hostility, she should be nearly impossible to detect unless she deliberately reveals herself.

This is why Luo Kai uses the Spectral Wolf for observation. Spirit Bodies are difficult to discover unless they get too close to high-energy [Players].

As a senior [Player] of the [Great Wall], Luo Kai naturally understands this principle. Hence, he hid the Wolf Eye within the rocks, observing from a distance of hundreds of meters.

How could it be discovered?

"Take cover! You haven’t been discovered; you’re just getting caught in the crossfire. Something is spreading!" Luo Kai growled.

As soon as his words fell, Li Changhe saw a white fog drifting out of the valley in that direction.

The mermaids around the figure suddenly stopped as if frozen in place.

The next second, the mermaids all shattered!

Li Changhe’s eyeballs almost popped out. What was that? Hundreds of mermaids vanished in an instant?

"Damn." A good curse is incredibly versatile.

Everyone’s faces changed dramatically, ready to flee at any moment. He Feng even prepared to activate the [Beast Fury Mad King] to dodge the attack.

"Quiet!" Xiao Nan whispered a reminder: "Don’t panic. That fog can only stick to the ground. We’re safe here! I can sense it."

Sure enough, the white fog did not climb up the slope but followed the valley downhill.

As the white fog floated over from the valley, the mermaids below began to panic and quickly retreated.

The height of the white fog was only about five or six meters. It didn’t seem weird, but the mermaids covered by the white fog were turned to debris.

The white fog seemed to be chasing the mermaids until they ran up the protruding slope below, and then the white fog gradually vanished.

Seeing the debris below, even the [Players] couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

"Was your Spectral Wolf Eye destroyed by that fog?" Li Changhe asked quietly.

With blood still oozing from Luo Kai’s left eye, he nodded and replied, "Even hiding in the rocks couldn’t avoid it. It froze into debris in an instant. I don’t know what kind of ghostly thing it is... I can’t use my detection again until the Symbiotic Body recovers."

Li Changhe looked in that direction again. Apart from the broken mermaids, the figure in white ancient attire seemed unaffected.

They continued to approach the mountains.

"The white fog has no effect on that guy, did he defend against it?"

"There’s a high probability that it’s a [Player]. Such a bizarre attack could only be stopped with a [Skill], but that person doesn’t look like a mermaid either," Luo Kai said, shaking his head in frustration while holding his left eye.

"As for this white fog, we’ll need to factor in its movement in our future actions. I don’t want to be killed off without knowing what’s going on," He Feng said. "We still have too little information. This white fog that kills on contact just appeared out of nowhere. Who can withstand that?"

Li Changhe kept quiet, carefully observing the distant mermaid troops. With the emergence of the white fog, they seemed to have identified their target, and their scattered forces regrouped and moved in the direction the white fog came from.

"I guess the ’source’ is related to the white fog. Just look at their movements. Instead of saying they’re searching for clues, it’s more like they’re waiting for the white fog," Li Changhe analyzed.

"Then let’s analyze it more. The location of the white fog varies each time. Otherwise, they would’ve been able to determine the location of the white fog long ago after a month of searching. However, it should be possible to figure out the pattern of the white fog’s appearance and dissipation. Otherwise, their entire group would’ve been wiped out just now," He Feng pointed at the mermaids below.

"If it’s really related to the ’source’, then it seems the ’source’ is moving," Xiao Nan pondered and said, "In that case, we really have to stick close to the mermaid army. After all, compared to them, we don’t have the advantage of numbers. We can’t handle the detection of the white fog or searching the mountains."

"This time we’re actually quite lucky. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have discovered the white fog," Luo Kai concluded.

Indeed, if the white fog appeared in another part of the mountains, the group would only find it strange that the mermaid army had suddenly changed direction.

"This is too difficult... once the rain stops, they’ll disappear. And our tracking efforts will be wasted," Li Changhe furrowed his brows in contemplation.

It always felt like a stalemate. Previously, they thought the rain was dangerous because the mermaids would charge at them.

But the so-called ’source’ must be tracked with the mermaids. The mermaids couldn’t find the ’source’ either, so they could only rely on their luck and wait for the white fog.

"What do you guys think... can we capture a live hostage or communicate with them?" Li Changhe said uncertainly, "At least we’d know some information."

"There’s no way to communicate with the mermaids. The members of the previous outpost have tried. Mermaids only attack and roar, completely ignoring human languages. In fact, many Monster Species can’t communicate directly with humans," Luo Kai shook his head. "Besides, a single mishap could attract the attention of all the mermaids. If we don’t capture a hostage and get surrounded instead, that would be embarrassing."

"Actually... I think that person looks quite good. They look like a human, maybe we can communicate," Li Changhe pointed towards the distant valley.

Luo Kai was taken aback and followed his pointed finger.

That cautious figure wearing white, steadily advancing into the depths of the valley.

"No way. That person just defended against the white fog, whether they’re a mermaid or not, they’re still powerful. It might even be a high-level [Player], although it’s not clear if they’re a human or a mermaid. With even the slightest bit of bad luck, it could be a boss. You think she’s a good idea? You’re afraid of a group wipe?" Luo Kai gasped.

Luo Kai thought Li Changhe would start with a few mermaids to practice his hand first. That still seemed feasible, but now he’s directly picked the hardest one to deal with... Who starts with the boss in their tasks?

"Don’t worry, our [General Mountain]’s motto is that as long as you can communicate... you can trick them."

...

Elsewhere in the mountains, a woman in white ancient attire carefully advanced towards the depths of the valley, seemingly on guard against something.

Even the rain seemed to avoid her; every drop of water that was about to land on her seemed to disappear.

The woman in white suddenly stopped and instantly turned around.

She heard a strange noise, ’tearing, tearing,’ like something was rolling rapidly on the ground.

The woman in white frowned slightly, and with a flash of spatial fluctuations in her hand, a huge trident appeared.

In the pouring rain, a... bicycle suddenly emerged.

The bike left deep tracks on the wet mud. Wearing a black trench coat, the person on the bike had their face shrouded in black fog.

A human player? The woman in white sneered in her heart. Although it was strange for this fellow to come on a bicycle, it looked like they were trying to attack her when the mermaid army hadn’t arrived.

Venturing alone, their courage was indeed not small.

At this moment, a ghostly greeting came from the face mask: "Meeting in the rain is fate. May I know your name, fair lady?"

The woman in white???
