Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1646: Chapter 1645: Poisonous Mist

Su Yang’s words left those who followed him here completely bewildered.

”Su Alliance Leader, are you saying that the villagers were all devoured?” the Family Head standing beside Su Yang asked in horror. This village has at least one to two hundred residents. What kind of situation would it be if they were all devoured?

Su Yang slowly nodded. Since entering the place, he could sense the aura here. Many have indeed died here; the people in this village have been completely devoured.

Those nearby felt a chill run through their bodies. They had been shocked when they heard about this demon devouring others to increase his strength. Now, discovering that this demon devoured so many people at once was even more terrifying.

No wonder they hadn’t seen a single person when they entered. It’s not that the villagers went out; they were all devoured.

Is this even human? This is clearly a demon!

”The villagers here are all weak. Why devour them?” someone beside muttered, ”Does this help his strength in any way?”

Su Yang shook his head. ”It doesn’t help at all!”

”If there’s no benefit, why did he devour them?” everyone was astonished.

”To prevent word from getting out!” Su Yang said in a deep voice, ”It seems he’s treating this place as his lair, so he devoured everyone in the village!”

Everyone’s expressions changed. They initially thought this demon gained some benefit by devouring these people. Unexpectedly, it was just to keep them silent; such cruel methods!

”Everyone be careful, don’t wander off!” Su Yang ordered sternly, ”The aura in this village is overwhelmingly eerie. I can’t even tell if that person is here. So, stay together to avoid being ambushed!”

After hearing the earlier events, no one dared to run about randomly. All gathered close to Su Yang, fearing any mishap.

Su Yang led the group directly to that secluded courtyard at the back.

All eight girls were already rescued and were being settled in the courtyard.

Though the treatment wasn’t good while they were locked up, fortunately, the demon hadn’t harmed them. A silver lining amid misfortune.

The Family Head’s eyes reddened upon seeing his granddaughter unharmed, and he repeatedly thanked Su Yang.

Su Yang, however, didn’t pay much heed. Instead, his brow furrowed deeply, sensing an unusual aura there, completely different from the outside, very peculiar.

”Quickly, everyone, leave here!” Su Yang instructed resolutely, unable to discern the anomaly, he urged the crowd to leave promptly.

These people dared not linger, hurriedly gathering their companions and prepared to evacuate.

Just then, a sudden surge of thick fog enveloped this village, slowly closing in on the crowd.

A man at the nearest edge, seeing this fog, was still in doubt. But as the fog touched him, it was like he got scalded; he leaped back, letting out a scream like a slaughtered pig’s.

”What’s happening? What’s wrong?” everyone exclaimed in shock.

Before the man could speak, another person screamed on the other side. Soon, more screams followed, their collective voices rising and falling, as if in severe pain.

The crowd was dumbstruck; they had no idea what was happening.

Su Yang’s face drastically changed, and he warned sternly, ”Don’t touch those mists; they’re poisonous and highly corrosive, capable of rotting flesh!”

The crowd understood, looking closely; indeed, the parts of those who screamed that touched the mist had corroded. No wonder the screams were so harrowing.

”What are these things?”

”What do we do now?”

”Heavens, even the sky is filled with such fog, we can’t escape even if we fly!”

Everyone cried out as fog rolled in from all sides and even descended from the sky, targeting the central courtyard. They truly had no way out.

”Everyone, stay calm!” Su Yang instructed, ”Stand in the center of the courtyard, don’t scatter. I’ll handle this!”

The crowd, panicked and without the capacity to think for themselves, ran to gather in the middle, avoiding the edges completely.

Su Yang took out the Qilin Jade, unleashing its power. Blazing fire erupted, aiming to burn away the fog.

Indeed, Su Yang’s method worked. As the fire surged forward, the fog burned into nothingness upon contact.

The group rejoiced; this method worked; they were saved!

However, Su Yang’s brow remained furrowed. The fog was too dense, and the Qilin Jade’s burning speed was too slow. Continuing like this, they would eventually be surrounded.

After contemplating, Su Yang brought out the little chick.

The little guy was still asleep, having eaten and slept well in the World Melting Furnace, gaining quite a bit of weight. Plump and round, it looked more like a little fat duck than a chick.

The little chick, being disturbed from its dreams when brought out by Su Yang, protested by flapping its little claws in annoyance.

Su Yang ignored it, patting its head to indicate it should breathe fire to burn the fog.

The little chick seemed very cross, turning its head away defiantly from Su Yang.

Su Yang felt helpless; this little chick was completely different from the little tortoise. The tortoise was obedient and compliant, whereas this chick always needed negotiation to do anything.

But Su Yang had no choice; he had to meet its demands.

He fished out a porcelain vial, taking out an Elixir Pill to sway before the little chick.

The little chick’s eyes brightened instantly. This Elixir Pill, made from Immortal Elixir found in the World Melting Furnace, held great benefits for the chick. However, due to their extreme rarity, Su Yang only allowed each little creature one pill every ten days.

Of course, Ye Wantong’s Earth Bear and Qi’er’s little gray bird got their share too. After all, these were Divine Beasts, none to be neglected.

Wanting the little chick to work required incentives now.

The little chick bounced energetically on Su Yang’s shoulder, trying to get the pill. Su Yang ignored it, simply pointing at the surrounding fog before ignoring it.
