Chapter 225 – Zombie Jiao-dragon 1
Everyone secretly prepared themselves and, as a group, quietly snuck away from the camp. They only had a cooperating relationship with the Jade Seal Family and Nie Li didn’t want their activities to become overly restricted.
The entrance to the first level of the Nine-Layered Deathlands was a long winding road that lead into a dense fog.
Everything was shrouded in thick layers of fog, making it impossible to see.
Occasionally, the shadows of a few people were seen walking upon the narrow path, heading deeper into the fog.
Within the fog, Nie Li could periodically sense the auras of death drifting towards him on a nonexistent wind.
The ground was littered with bones and damaged weapons and armours. Many had undergone heavy corrosion over time. A casual touch could reduce them to ashes.
Sensing the terrifying death aura, everyone shivered.
“Fortunately, there are a lot of people here.” Lu Piao withdrew his head closer to his body. This place really wasn’t suitable for humans.
Along the way, they occasionally passed other groups of people, which eased their nervousness.
Those that had come here were warriors from the various families of the Nether Realm. Most were at least of Black Gold rank, with a few Legend ranks. Demigod rank experts wouldn’t bother to come to the first layer of the Deathlands.
Upon entering the opaque fog, their surroundings suddenly fluctuated. The moving figures of the warriors from the various families suddenly vanished.
“What’s going on? Why did those people disappear?” Du Ze asked in curiousity.
Ye Ziyun and the others also couldn’t help showing curiosity in their eyes. Those people had only been tens of meters away. Why did they suddenly disappear?
Nie Li knitted his brows and urgently said, “Follow me closely. Someone has placed a [Fog of Misleading] over this area that causes people to easily lose their way. The Fog of Misleading usually lasts for an entire day before dissipating, but I would guess that this fog has roughly an hour or so left before it evaporates. If you get lost, then we’ll gather again when the fog clears.”
Right after those words left Nie Li’s mouth, he looked around and realized that Lu Piao and Xiao Xue were already nowhere to be seen.
After that it was Du Ze, then Duan Jian.
The surrounding people disappeared one after another. Nie Li quickly grabbed Ye Ziyun’s hand and reached for Xiao Ning’er’s. However, her silhouette had already vanished into the fog. When the surrounding fog fluctuated again, Yu Yan thought she saw something and took off as well.
“Ning’er!” Nie Li yelled, however, Xiao Ning’er was already gone.
