Chapter 374 Mutant
Xiao Bing followed the footprints on the ground, which ran deep into the woods. The environment here was extremely harsh. It was humid, with bushes and toxic insects everywhere. Few of Xiao Bing’s missions had been carried out under such extreme conditions.
Xiao Bing had to use his Gang Spirit to protect himself, lest he get bitten by these toxic creatures.
Once a man reached the Innate Realm and the Gang-strength stage, he could form a shield of Gang spirit around himself. The more powerful he was, the longer it could last. Xiao Bing was way beyond the Gang-strength stage, so he could manipulate his Gang spirit easily. But it would still consume a lot of energy to keep it in place. Xiao Bing could only make it last for 7 or 8 hours now. He assumed Feng XIII could only make it last for 2 or 3 hours, since this man was less powerful than him. As for the masters of Gang-strength stage, they could only use their Gang spirit during a battle, because they could not make it last longer than half an hour.
The mountain stretched endlessly. Xiao Bing could not figure out why Feng XIII chose this route. Could it be mere happenstance? But in 2 or 3 hours, Feng XIII’s Gang spirit would run out. Even Xiao Bing could easily get injured here, what more for Feng XIII, who had to protect the one with God’s Blood. Half an hour later, Xiao Bing even found two cannibalistic flowers at the site. God only knows what kind of harsh place this was. Xiao Bing believed that there was only one other place like this in Asia.
Xiao Bing heard a crack as he stepped on something. He looked down and found there were bones under his feet. He had just trod on a skull.
Xiao Bing resumed walking and soon he found other skeletons. For some reasons, he found this forest gruesome and scary.
Xiao Bing shook his head. He was sure that it was not his misconception. The fear in his heart was oddly real.
Though Xiao Bing had faced many powerful enemies before, he never had such a feeling like this. It was not just because of the skeletons. Lethal creatures like ancistrodon acutus, scorpions, chompers and centipedes could be found everywhere in this forest. Even the flies here were much bigger than those from other places.
This was a forest, but it smelt of hell.
It did smell like hell.
Xiao Bing did not know if there was hell. But if there was one, it must be here.
This was because Xiao Bing saw a road paved with numerous skeletons. Some of them were dull red in color, because the blood had seeped into them.
It seemed that a lot of people had died here. But it was reasonable because this forest was not meant for normal people. Few people on earth could use their Gang spirit to protect them like Xiao Bing. He wondered what their purpose was for entering this forest.
A snake slid toward Xiao Bing. It hit against Xiao Bing’s Gang spirit, fell to the ground and dropped dead.
Xiao Bing continued walking. But gradually his vision blurred and he could not see his surroundings clearly. It turned out there was a pink and poisonous mist hovering around him.
Xiao Bing frowned when he realized that he was surrounded by the mist. Xiao Bing slashed at the mist, which dispelled it a little. Then he dashed forward.
What the hell is this place?
Xiao Bing held his breath. Though he was protected by his Gang spirit, it did not mean that he would not be harmed by the poisonous mist. Xiao Bing was still a human being who could be poisoned to death, no matter how powerful he was.
Xiao Bing ran fast. He made it to the top of the mountain within three minutes. He ran well away from the toxic mist. But he had a bigger problem now: Xiao Bing lost track of Feng XIII due to the mist.
