Chapter 26: Lightning Lake of the Thunder Fog Forest

Mo Wuji kept on running as fast as he could till he could no longer hear the hissing. After he turned around and realised that the Heart Drilling Snakes were no longer in sight, he heaved a short sigh of relief. However at the back of his mind, Mo Wuji knew that he was not clear of danger.

Thick fog and tall trees that surrounded him made it impossible to see the sky.

At this moment, he was sure he had passed the outskirts, into the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest.

Mo Wuji could not and did not bother trying to locate any of the other guards that came with Han Ning. He just had to get out in the shortest time possible.

Even though he had never been in the Thunder Fog Forest before, he believed every single myth about this forest. He felt anxious from the very moment he had entered the forest.

”Kacha!” A huge tree fell and two shadows emerged from the fog. With the aid of the dim light in the forest, Mo Wuji could make out what those two shadows were.

Mo Wuji felt numbness in the scalp of his head as two wild beasts that he had never seen before appeared. One of them had three eyes with a body full of scales while the other looked like a lion, with blood and fur around the fangs of its stretched mouth.

The two wild beasts appeared not to have seen Mo Wuji and did not bother about him.

”Roar...” The deafening roars of the two wild beasts made Mo Wuji's heart beat tremendously fast.

Fortunately for Mo Wuji, it was not just one beast because then it would have definitely noticed him and gobbled him up. As Mo Wuji slowly retreated, the two beasts were always in his sight. They had to be the demonic beasts that Ding Bu'Er previously mentioned were prevalent in the forest.

As Mo Wuji retreated, he felt his feet turn cold. He realised that he was too focused on the demonic beasts and did not bother to check what was behind him.

”Kacha...” A lightning bolt flashed not too far away from Mo Wuji and lit up the surroundings.

At this moment, he could clearly see where he was and realised that he had stepped into the middle of a swamp.

”Kaka...” Two more lightning bolts flashed across Mo Wuji, forming a very mesmerising arched lightning bridge.

Mo Wuji's heart sank to its lowest point when he finally realised where he was. This must have been one of the deadly lightning lakes that Ding Bu'Er warned him about.

After a long sigh, Mo Wuji calmed himself down. He had seen the demonic beasts and was now in a lightning lake of the Thunder Fog Forest. It would truly be a miracle if he was able to make it out alive.

Mo Wuji's feet felt icy cold as it sank into the freezing soil of the lightning lake. Nobody knew what other scarier things there were in this lightning lake other than the lightning bolts. Mo Wuji was no longer afraid of anything as he knew he would be dead either way. He carefully shifted his feet as he tried to get out of the swamp.

He should at least try to fight for his life, even if he died trying.

”Kacha...” Yet another lightning bolt struck. However, Mo Wuji was not so lucky this time as it struck his shoulder.
