After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 471 In The Mist

Chapter 471: Within the Mysterious Mist

The characteristics of the mysterious mist are that it covers a large area, moves slowly, and poses great danger.

The characteristics of the black tide are that it covers a small area, moves quickly, and poses little danger.

When sailing in the black tide, it is easy to be crushed by the black tide and lose direction. However, for the sea clan, it is not considered a great danger, as long as they are not unlucky enough to be swept away to strange places by the black tide.

So, the question is, if I were to use the black tide to engulf the mysterious mist, how would you respond?

Ao Long looked at the black wave rolling in from a distance, along with the drifting gray mist, and his pupils trembled.

"Run!"

Ao Long didn't dare to waste any more words and quickly dived into the water, using all of his abilities to flee towards the inland direction. Hong Li followed closely behind.

Ao Long's state of mind was about to collapse.

They hadn't been away from the inland for long, just a distance further than the sea island where Zhang Chi had hidden before.

How could they encounter both the black tide and the mysterious mist here?

Dealing with either one alone would be manageable, but the combination of the two is not a good sign.

Is this a sign of her impending doom?

Ao Long deeply regretted it now. They had been warned, so why didn't they listen?

She had thought it was not suitable to go out before, but now that they had set sail, they had directly encountered the two most terrifying things in the open sea. It made her scalp tingle.

At this point, she couldn't care less about protecting Hong Li.

After all, it was just a momentary impulse on her part, moved by Hong Li's enthusiasm, and they didn't have a deep relationship.

Now that a great disaster was approaching, it was only natural for everyone to flee on their own.

Hong Li was also a fish at the Monster Sovereign level, so her speed was not slow.

The two women, one in front and one behind, were extremely fast, but the black tide, like a surging giant snake, was even faster than them.

Ao Long was already a giant beast, but the black tide was even bigger than her.

The so-called small area only referred to the relative size within the sea area. Once it swept over, there was nowhere to escape.

From a high altitude, they looked like small fish being preyed upon by a giant beast. Despite their efforts to escape, they ultimately failed and were swallowed whole.

When the world plunged into darkness, Ao Long knew that she had been swallowed by the black tide.

Actually, being swallowed by the black tide alone wouldn't be a big problem, after all, she was a Sea Monster and could still survive in the seawater.

But when the black tide and the mysterious mist appeared at the same time, it meant certain death.

No one had ever come out of the mist, and no one knew what was inside. Those who went in never returned.

In short, she deeply regretted it.

Hong Li didn't know as much about the black tide and the mysterious mist as Ao Long did. She had only heard Ao Long talk about what they were, but she hadn't heard any related stories, so naturally, she wasn't as afraid.

Moreover, her Dao heart had already experienced many trials and tribulations, and she had long been firm and determined. Before setting sail, she had already thought that she would encounter danger and might not be able to return, possibly dying on the path of seeking the Dao.

But she still firmly embarked on this journey.

Therefore, in the current situation, she was neither afraid nor regretful. On the contrary, she was very curious about the situation in the black tide.

Because she had also experienced this kind of darkness where all perception was lost, which was the Divine Ability released by Zhang Chi of the Demon Race.

Could it be that the black tide was related to the Demon Race?

Hong Li vaguely sensed that there might be some kind of connection, but she had very little information and could only rely on speculation. Naturally, she couldn't come up with any effective conclusions, so she could only think about it.

In the darkness, she couldn't even perceive the passage of time, or rather, the time she could sense was wrong.

Hong Li decided to empty her mind, focus inward, and no longer be bound by external things.

Upon closer inspection, she actually discovered something unusual.

Within her own Divine Soul, there was a trace of impurity, which turned out to be the remnants left behind by the Dao Heart Devil Seed.

In order to pretend to love Zhang Chi, she had to resort to the method of splitting her soul and use the Dao Heart Devil Seed to deceive Zhang Chi and cultivate together with him.

Unexpectedly, that scoundrel Zhang Chi, after saying all those sweet words, suddenly decided to cultivate with someone else.

Hong Li was furious!

At that time, the demonic seed didn't absorb much love and affection, it was all jealousy and envy.

It was simply outrageous.

She had to deal with these negative emotions within herself.

Later, she got rid of the demonic seed ahead of time, thinking that she had resolved the issue, but she didn't expect to leave behind hidden dangers.

"This Zhang Chi, he's really heartless!"

Even though Zhang Chi had trained her many times, Hong Li still refused to be tamed.

She was destined to soar like a true dragon!

Every time she thought of Zhang Chi, she would imagine some explicit scenes.

"Scoundrel!"

If this were her last moment in life, Hong Li would still curse Zhang Chi.

Perhaps her resentment was too deep, because when she shouted, her lost senses suddenly returned.

This... was she out of the black tide?

After regaining her senses, Hong Li opened her eyes and saw a hazy gray sky.

There was no sun here, but some dim light seeped in from somewhere.

Hong Li immediately felt a sense of danger.

This seemed like the interior of a sinister fog.

Once inside the sinister fog, no one could survive. It must be very dangerous here.

Hong Li realized that she was still in the sea, and the seawater here was also pitch black, just like the black tide. However, unlike the magnificent waves of the black tide, the seawater here was completely calm, even calmer than a small pond.

If it weren't for the floating corpses of some large sea creatures nearby, she wouldn't have thought that she was still in the sea.

"What about Ao Long? I wonder how Ao Long is doing."

Hong Li started to worry about Ao Long.

She had some grievances with Ao Long in the past and even wished for her death, but she was very surprised that this woman, whom she considered an enemy, actually helped her set sail.

Hong Li wasn't heartless. Ao Long had deceived her before, and she held a grudge, but she also remembered the favor Ao Long had done for her this time.

If Ao Long died because of her, she would feel a bit guilty.

In this dangerous place, Hong Li decided to first search for Ao Long.

She remained vigilant as she swam, observing the nearby floating corpses.

These corpses didn't have any visible wounds on the surface, and she didn't know how long they had been soaking in the water. The flesh hadn't decayed, but there were some gray and mottled spots on the bodies.

Some corpses had more spots, while others had fewer.

Was it the gray mist here eroding them?

The unknown was what made people fearful. There were corpses of all kinds here, from ordinary-looking fish to massive sea creatures, and even fierce beasts that still emitted a lingering aura even after death.

Regardless of their strength, they had all become corpses.

"Will I eventually become one of them? How can I get out of here?"

Hong Li felt anxious and uneasy. She swam cautiously in the water, and suddenly, a tentacle next to her moved...
