Chapter 2257： Calamity of the Red Mist

A flame silently burned on the still body of the salon, making a 'zizi' sound, causing the surrounding practitioners who had fallen into despair to raise their heads in surprise.

"What happened to this salon? Why did it suddenly spontaneously ignite..."

"How could it be spontaneously ignited, there must be some powerful cultivator who came to the rescue and helped us solve this abominable salon!"

"But I've seen the scene when the city lord solves the salon. Even if he wants to solve a salon, he needs to prepare a few days in advance, and it takes several hours to complete..."

"Yeah, it's weird, could it be that the red fog has spread to us?"

"Chiwu... Let's go, let's go, I don't want to risk my life to gamble on luck!"

Many low-strength cultivators were talking about it, but the word "red mist" mentioned in them caught Lin Yue's attention.

"Chiwu...?" Lin Yue murmured inexplicably.

At this time, Lu Yu also flew over from not far away, and after hearing what Lin Yue said, he continued, "You heard it too? I heard their description, Chiwu should be a natural disaster in this large area, but I don't know why. Those who escaped from the city were all cultivators, but mortal figures were rare."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This matter is a bit strange."

Then he looked at an old man beside him and asked, "Sir, what is the Chi Wu you just mentioned?"

"what?"

Hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man was taken aback and cast a suspicious look at him.

"You are also a cultivator, why haven't you even heard of Chi Wu? Could it be that you came from another northern region?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "I'm here for the first time, and I really haven't heard Chi Wuyi say it. Please answer one or two for the next time."

But at the same time, he was also puzzled. The old man actually mentioned other large areas in the north. Could it be that this Chiwu is not just some kind of natural disaster in this large area as Lu Yu guessed?

"Okay, then I'll tell you. We've only heard about this Chiwu in the past two days." The old man stroked his long white beard and explained slowly.

"I heard that it came from the south, and now it has occupied a lot of large areas, so we will collectively migrate to the north, hoping to go to other large areas in the north before it arrives. I advise you to hurry up and go the same way. Go back!"

Speaking of this, the old man's face has become extremely dignified, obviously feeling great pressure from Chiwu's reputation.

However, Lin Yue and Lu Yu could hear it in a cloudy and foggy way. For a while, they hadn't figured out what this existence called Chiwu was.

The old man seemed to see the doubts on the faces of the two, and said apologetically, "The old man may not have explained it clearly, this red fog is actually a red fog, but it contains terrifying danger. I heard that someone After touching it, the whole body festered and died, and some people directly turned into a mummified corpse, there are all kinds of death methods, it is very terrifying!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help widening his eyes, "Is it a poisonous gas that can spread across large areas...?"

Lin Yue, who was on the side, asked, "Sir, but I think most of the people who come out of the city are cultivators, and few mortals are seen. Why is this?"

In the whole world, although the number of practitioners is not rare, the overall proportion is still lower than that of mortals, so it seems a little unusual to see the sight of mortals now.

Hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man also said with a strange expression, "The reason is very simple, because that kind of red fog will not have any effect on mortals, only practitioners will encounter danger when they come into contact with it, so most of the mortals in the city are in danger. I didn't leave, and some mortals I saw occasionally were just family members brought by some practitioners."

"Mortals won't be affected? There's actually such a saying..." Lin Yue raised his brows slightly, and his eyes showed a contemplative meaning.

If it is just a poisonous gas that can be spread, it is fine, but the target only affects the practitioners, and has no effect on the weak mortals, so he has to think a little more.

Could this existence called 'Red Mist' be aimed specifically at cultivators?

"Old gentleman, do you know where the source of Chiwu is? Where does it come from?"

After hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man shook his head rarely, and said helplessly, "I don't know this question either, after all, it's only been a few days since the news of Chiwu came, and several buildings have already fallen, let alone It is said that such important news has come back.”

Hearing this, Lin Yue also understood that Chiwu is effective only for cultivators. Even cultivators who know where it came from may have already lost their minds. As for mortals who are not affected by it, Without a means of quickly delivering news, news as important as the place of origin would naturally not come through...

"Thank you, old man, for clarifying the confusion."

After clasping his fists at the old man, Lin Yue took Lu Yu and left the crowd.

As soon as he walked out of the crowd, Lu Yu asked him eagerly, "Boy, what do you think of this?"

Hearing this, Lin Yue's expression gradually became solemn.

He sighed and said, "This matter is much more serious than you and I thought at the beginning. Not only does it involve the entire mortal realm, but the speed of diffusion doesn't seem to be very slow, and it may be more harmful than Lingyao Emperor Domain. The blood sacrifice that has been going on is far greater!"

"That's right! But I think the weirdest thing is that it only acts on cultivators in a targeted manner. Is this a coincidence or...?" Lu Yu said halfway through, his face became a little ugly.

Lu Yu suddenly remembered the saying of the end of the Era. Could this be a sign that the Era is about to be destroyed? He could feel that the frequency of similar catastrophes was far more than usual...

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, and then said decisively, "No matter what, we still have to return to the human realm first and handle the affairs of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races in advance."

Since the red mist will affect all practitioners, it is also a severe test for a large force composed of many races such as the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.

It's just that there is always a touch of uneasiness in Lin Yue's heart. If this Chiwu is really like what the old man said just now, people who practice sticking to it will die immediately, and it will continue to spread, then where will these cultivators hide in the end? ? Sooner or later, all the large areas in the entire Yangjian will be invaded by the spreading red fog, and they will have nowhere to escape...

Is it possible that he can only hide in a certain isolated cave, or use the means of the strongest to open up a space for the practitioners to survive?
