Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Insanity And Traps!

After hearing Ren Qi’s words, Fang Qian finally reacted and ordered the frost witch spirit to take action.

As the frost witch spirit chanted, large amounts of ice and snow began to fall from the sky, directly landing on the soldiers who had fallen into the abyss.

The ice and snow of the frost witch spirit were much colder than ordinary ice and snow. Not long after the ice and snow fell, the soldiers who had fallen into the abyss began to tremble and wake up.

Some of the soldiers were still a little stunned when they woke up. Only after they regained their senses did they quickly return to the group.

Ren Qi came to Long Yi’s side and looked at him as he asked, “Senior Long Yi, are we going to reach the forbidden land after passing through this lost area?”

Long Yi shook his head and said, “How can it be so easy to reach the forbidden land? There’s still a long way to go before we reach the forbidden land.”

Ren Qi was stunned when he heard this.

Originally, he thought he would be able to reach the forbidden land not long after entering this place because the forbidden land was within this large mountain covered in black fog.

However, he did not expect that they would still not be able to reach the forbidden land even after walking for such a long time. Was there such a large space here?

“Senior Long Yi, is the forbidden land within that large mountain within the black fog?” Ren Qi continued to ask.

Now that they had entered the black fog, it was naturally better to know more information about the forbidden land.

Long Yi continued to shake his head when he heard this. “Who told you that there is a big mountain here?”

Zhao Yuheng and the others also rushed over. Everyone was stunned when they heard Long Yi’s words.

“There is no big mountain? How is that possible?” Zhao Yuheng frowned and said.

“That’s right. That mountain is clearly visible inside the black fog. We can see it clearly from the outside,” Li Lin an said doubtfully.

Tian Jizi directly shouted, “I say, are you lying to us? Are you bringing us to play around in this black fog? Or are your Dark Divine Dragon Clan’s eyes not good? You can’t even see such an obvious thing?”

As soon as Tian Jizi finished speaking, he felt the surrounding atmosphere become a little tense.

Long Yi’s huge dragon eyes directly landed on him, while the other dark divine dragons around the group also aimed their gazes on Tian Jizi.

In an instant, Tian Jizi felt an extremely huge pressure land on his body.

Swallowing his saliva, Tian Jizi said with a difficult expression, “That... what I mean is that there is clearly that huge mountain here. Is there some misunderstanding?”

Ren Qi also said hurriedly, “Senior Long Yi, Tian Jizi didn’t mean to offend you guys. He just spoke too quickly.”

The Dark Divine Dragon clan was prepared to bring them into the forbidden land because of Ren Qi’s relationship with Blackie.

However, their relationship with the Dark Divine Dragon wasn’t to the point where they could joke with one another.

Fortunately, Long Yi only glanced at Tian Jizi and didn’t argue with him.

Then, Long Yi said, “That black mountain doesn’t exist. It just look like a black mountain.”

Ren Qi and the others were stunned.

The black mountain doesn’t exist?

Looks like a black mountain?

Then what exactly is this black mountain?

Long Yi looked at the expressions of Ren Qi and the others and continued, “The ‘black mountain’ that you see is just too densely surrounded with black fog. It is like a pitch-black mountain in your eyes.”

“There are no mountains here. There is only black fog. The extremely dense black fog is just like a solid black object.”

Ren Qi and the others’ eyes suddenly shrank, and their expressions were filled with shock.

They had never expected that the pitch-black mountain that they saw outside was actually not a mountain at all. Instead, it was something that was like a mountain formed from the condensation of pitch-black fog.

The black fog lingered around the even denser black fog, causing the view of the pitch-black mountain to be distorted.

At this moment, Ren Qi suddenly thought of the giant black dragon from before.

Back then, when the giant black dragon entered the pitch-black mountain, it seemed to have directly crashed into it.

However, Ren Qi did not care. He thought that it would turn after entering the black fog to avoid crashing into the mountain.

Now that he thought about it, the other party simply wanted to enter straight because there was no mountain there at all.

The eyes of Zhao Yuheng and the others also flickered wildly. Long Yi’s words had given them a lot of information.

The pitch-black mountain was actually filled with dense black fog. From this, it could be imagined just how dense the black fog was.

“Is this a folded space? is that why we haven’t reached the forbidden land after walking for such a long time?” Ren Qi looked at Long Yi and voiced out his conjecture.

Long Yi listened to Ren Qi’s words and pondered for a moment.

“I don’t know how to describe the spatial power here, but the folded space you mentioned can also be explained.”

“The space here is very large, but because of the black fog, it has been condensed in an area, which is equivalent to an alternate space.”

“The reason why you see this place as a huge mountain is also due to the space being condensed and folded.”

Ren Qi nodded. He had thought that it would be similar to the sealing gate, and that he would be able to find it once he entered the black fog. He had not expected that there would be such a large space inside.

“This is the lost zone. What’s the next zone?” Ren Qi looked at Long Yi and continued to ask.

Since there was still a long distance from the forbidden zone, there must be other zones.

Long Yi glanced at Ren Qi and said, “Who told you that the lost zone has already been passed?”

“Ah, this... Senior Long Yi, do you mean that the area ahead of us is still the lost zone?” Ren Qi was a little puzzled.

Although the lost zone had a strong spiritual effect, it was not fatal.

As long as there were sober teammates, they would be able to wake up the people who had fallen into the lost zone.

Could it be that the situation ahead was still the same?

Long Yi looked at the black fog in front of him, and his expression became a little solemn.

“Ahead us is the area of insanity and traps. It can be considered the first dangerous region. You have to be careful. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.”

Looking at Long Yi’s grave expression, Ren Qi and the others became cautious.

Zhao Yuheng spoke at this moment, “Senior Long Yi, what is the meaning of this insanity and trap area? Can Senior Long Yi tell us what is going on inside? Let us be mentally prepared.”

Since it was very dangerous, it was best to understand the specific situation inside.

The others also nodded and looked at Long Yi.

Long Yi nodded and said, “The insanity and trap area, as the name suggests, is the area in front will make the creatures go insane, and there are all kinds of traps in it. It’s very dangerous.”

“The area in front is the enhanced version of the lost zone, and various traps have been added. The mortality rate of these traps is very high, so it’s best not to fall into them.”

“Just follow our footsteps closely. Stay awake at all times. Don’t enter a lost state inside.”

“Those who can stay clear-headed will stay in the outer perimeter. Those who can’t stay clear-headed will be placed inside to prevent them from moving randomly.”

Ren Qi and the others nodded when they heard this. Then, they began to reorganize their troops.

The troops that hadn’t entered a lost state just now were all arranged at the outer perimeter. The troops that had entered a lost state before were placed inside the circle to prevent them from getting lost due to the spiritual attacks.

Of course, the new lords, including Ren Qi, were also placed inside.

“Are you ready? Once you’re ready, we’ll go in,” Long Yi asked Ren Qi when he saw that the team had regrouped.

Ren Qi nodded. “Senior Long Yi, you can move forward now.”

Long Yi didn’t hesitate when he heard this. The dark divine dragons continued to follow the previous route and defend the surroundings.

Soon after, Long Yi began to head toward the black fog that had clearly become thinner.

The soldiers followed behind Long Yi and slowly moved forward.

Soon, Ren Qi and the others entered the thin black fog in front of them.

After entering, Ren Qi discovered that although the black fog here was relatively thin, there seemed to be a substance in the air that made people feel a sudden increase in pressure.

It was as if they had suddenly stepped on a plateau, and the pressure was somewhat suffocating.

Moreover, a wave of spiritual power began to spread in the surroundings, affecting everyone’s judgment.

Ren Qi even felt that his head was starting to feel a little dizzy.

Shaking his head, he looked at Long Yi’s figure in front of the group, which had become clearer than before.

It was obvious that even Long Yi had slowed down a lot after entering this place, and he was treating his surroundings seriously.

After walking for ten minutes, the surroundings were still calm, as if nothing had changed.

However, the power that made his head feel dizzy seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and it was continuously affecting Ren Qi’s mind.

Some of the surrounding soldiers had already begun to enter a state of disorientation.

For example, the black flood dragons and the black turtles that had devoured the tarnished.

The mental strength of the black flood dragons and the black turtles that had devoured the tarnished had become very weak.

At this moment, due to this lowered mental strength, they had even gone insane.

After falling into the lost state once again, the black flood dragons and the black turtles moved around in an attempt to break away from the group.

The soldiers who were awake began to stop them.

The xuanwu divine turtle used its hard shell to strike the insane black turtles’ shells and knocked them back.

The conscious black flood dragons also began to organize the lost black flood dragons.

At this moment, Ren Qi discovered that the insane black flood dragons and black turtles did not wake up from the attacks of other soldiers. Instead, they were still in a lost state.

However, the lost black flood dragons and black turtles only subconsciously wanted to head out. Nothing else happened.

The situation was still under control.

However, Ren Qi felt a little strange. He did not know where the trap that Long Yi had mentioned before was.

After walking forward for another ten minutes, the spiritual effects became more and more serious, causing Ren Qi to almost be lost several times.

There were more and more troops that fell under the illusion in the surroundings. Regardless of whether it was the frost witch spirit’s ice power or physical attacks, they were unable to wake up these troops that were lost.

Helplessly, the frost witch spirit could only release a large amount of ice power to form a movable ice wall to stop these soldiers who were lost from moving around.

At this moment, Ren Qi felt his vision blur and the surrounding pitch-black environment changed.

A large amount of fiery red appeared on both sides, just like raging flames.

Soon after, Ren Qi saw the dense scarlet red lava on both sides!

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. The position where Ren Qi and the others were at seemed to have turned into a pitch-black long bridge.

On both sides of this long bridge, a large amount of lava appeared about ten meters deep.

The scarlet lava slowly flowed, emitting a terrifying temperature.

Ren Qi, who was in the middle of the team, had his face flushed red from the battle. It was as if he could clearly feel the terrifying temperature.

This change was completed in an instant. It was as if the surrounding world had suddenly changed.

Illusion?

Ren Qi frowned. This change felt like an illusion.

However, Ren Qi then thought of the trap that Long Yi had talked about.

Was this the trap that Long Yi had mentioned?

If these were traps, then they were real and not formed by some illusion.

However, how did it happen?

In an instant, the place had transformed from the pitch-black fog into this state?

However, now was not the time to think about this in detail.

Due to the changes in the environment, the passable areas had become somewhat narrow.

Meanwhile, the soldiers that had lost their way suddenly became violent due to the changes in the surrounding environment.

As if they had been stimulated by something while they were lost, the soldiers that had fallen into the illusion began to become violent, desperately wanting to charge out.

Some of the soldiers even began to unconsciously attack the soldiers that were blocking them, as if they wanted to eliminate everything that was blocking them.

“Knock them out!”

Ren Qi looked at the situation around him and frowned. He immediately ordered.

Under such circumstances, they could not allow these soldiers who had lost themselves to continue causing trouble.

Otherwise, those soldiers who were awake outside might fall into the magma under the impact.

Fang Qian and the others nodded. After which, the frost witch spirits took the lead to attack. A large amount of ice power rose and directly wrapped around these soldiers who had lost their minds, sealing their bodies in ice.

After passing this area, they would unseal them again.

Next, it was time for the xuanwu divine turtles and the black turtles, who were tired and awake, to carry these soldiers who were sealed in ice and advance.

The other soldiers also took action one after another. They either knocked out or bound the soldiers who were lost.

The situation was quickly brought under control.

However, at this moment, a lost black flood dragon let out a roar. It suddenly rose and directly broke through the encirclement of the surrounding soldiers.

Subsequently, this lost black flood dragon charged straight towards the scarlet red lava at the side!
