Episode 18 – The Elder Gods Chapter 23 – Weird Situation

Several phantom shadows, scurrying at breakneck speeds within the mountain forests of the Gray Mist Region of the Underworld Mountain.

“Stop.” Linley shouted lowly.

Linley and the five of them also realized that no one was catching up. “Those Elder Gods caught in the illusion, why are each of them chasing us like crazy?” Bebe said with some indignation, and the feminine man snorted, “They were already crazy!”

“It’s falling into an illusion!” The purple-haired youth, Bulong, droned with some annoyance.

“I said they were crazy, I didn’t say you were crazy, why are you agitated?” The feminine man was somewhat surprised.

The purple-haired youth snorted coldly.

“Don’t argue.” Linley looked around and whispered, “Regardless of whether these people are caught in an illusion or crazy, at least their souls have been affected by that gray mist and are no longer normal. I didn’t realize that the moment we kill, we’d attract others. It seems …… that we must speed up and get out of this gray fog area as soon as possible.”

“There’s no rush.” The feminine man laughed, “Perhaps there is a Spectral Fruit within the boundaries of this gray fog zone.”

Linley glanced at him.

This Spectral Fruit could appear anywhere in the Spectral Mountain, but of course the Purple Mist Area was the most likely and the White Mist Area was the least likely.

“I don’t mind if you’re willing to stay in this gray mist zone.” Linley said indifferently, “Depart!” With that, Linley and Bebe continued on, and Valiant and the purple-haired youth didn’t hesitate to even follow Linley. The feminine man, on the other hand, frowned once in dissatisfaction, but looking around, he still followed.

A gray, heavy mist lingered along the way.

Linley and the five of them moved forward carefully and vigilantly, and if they sensed any killing ahead, they would simply walk around the road. Linley and the others had also discovered that within the Underworld Mountain, if they walked in a straight line based on their senses, it was rather impossible to successfully walk to their destination. However, if one walked in a chaotic manner and tried a few times, one would succeed instead.

Advancing step by step.

It seemed slow, but in reality, it was also extremely fast.

“Whew!”

A fiery red phantom abruptly descended from the sky, and space seemed to boil and quake for a moment. An unrivaled aura enveloped Linley as this fire-red phantom directly pounced on the leader, Linley. Linley’s cold, dark golden eyes swept over, and the earth-yellow light on his body surface instantly spread out, directly encompassing the phantom!

Blackstone space! Repulsion!

At the same time, Linley flicked his wrist, and the completely transparent Retaining Shadow divine Sword poofed as if it had cut through paper. A large crack appeared in the space above Linley.

And the silhouette that had fallen into the sudden change in speed of the black stone space, caught off guard, was directly teased over the head by Linley’s sword.

One sword, two halves!

Body dead!

The purple-haired youth, Bu Long, the feminine man, and that Valiant still couldn’t help the shock in their hearts. Just now, that sneak attacker’s breath had caused space to tremble, his strength was completely imaginable. But surprisingly, he hadn’t been able to make more than a single move under Linley!

“Hurry up.” Linley indifferently said, while his speed steeply increased! The others also accelerated their speed, after every battle in this gray fog area, they had to quickly leave the scene of the battle. Otherwise the blink of an eye. The other surrounding Upper Gods that were caught up in madness would immediately kill them.

“Still really strong.” The feminine man looked at Linley, his brows furrowed, “With his strength, following him, even if I come across the Underworld Fruit …… I won’t be able to get it.” It was safer to follow Linley, but competing for the Underworld Fruit. They couldn’t compete with Linley either. After all, ordinary seven star demons, caught in the black stone space, were completely butchered for Linley.

After reaching Upper God, Linley’s strength. It was already close to that of an average Hell Cultivator.

“Hoo, hoo!” Linley continued to scurry along as they continued to scurry along, immediately changing direction once they sensed spatial fluctuations ahead of them. In this way, they didn’t encounter any other Upper Gods caught up in madness for a moment.

Among the mountains and forests of the Gray Mist Region of the Underworld Mountain.

Underneath a short tree that required five or six people to surround it, there were dozens of people sitting cross-legged. These people’s eyes were glowing red, and there was madness in their eyes. However, they didn’t kill each other, but rather split up in different directions under the short tree. They looked towards others, just like wild beasts that were wary of each other.

“Hoo!”

Several phantom shadows suddenly shot extremely fast from the distance.

Almost instantly. These dozens of people who were sitting cross-legged in silence simultaneously looked over towards that. At this moment —- these dozens of people and Linley and the five of them were eye to eye. “En?” Linley’s five people were stunned.

These dozens of people instantly had distorted expressions as if they were lightning bolts, one by one, they flew up from the ground.

“Go!” Linley even roared.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of these dozens of people, but he was afraid that being drawn in by these dozens of people would lead to hundreds, thousands, or even more of the Crazy Upper Gods killing over, and that would be bad! To be able to survive here, these crazy Superior Gods were not weak. Most of them had the strength of an almost six-star demon.

“Ha!” A purple-haired woman frantically held a large scythe. It directly slashed down, a circular arc of black light. It instantly tore through space and flew towards Linley and the others at breakneck speed.

“Drink!” An iron-armored strong man also madly slammed out a fist, and as it came out, a circle of spatial ripples spread out from the fist, following a straight line that quickly rippled towards Linley and the few of them. Strong attacks. And without a doubt, all of them were material attacks.

Various colored material attacks, churning up space that trembled with cracks, either magnificent attacks with colors, or fuzzy and transparent attacks …… instantly completely enveloping Linley’s five people. This escape speed was even faster than this attack speed.

These dozens of people attacked because they were covering an area, resulting in some dispersion. Each person was only facing two or three attacks. The one who had the easiest time dealing with this group of people was naturally Bei Bei, very casually using his fists and smashing the incoming attacks. Linley relied on his body as well as his Godhead weapon, and was also easily defending himself.

But the other three were miserable.

“Escape!” That purple-haired youth, Bulong, barely managed to withstand two attacks, and after being injured on his left arm by the third attack, he roared and flew away at breakneck speed.

“Bastard!” That feminine man let out a low shout as a black phantom flashed in his hand, cleaving away a black light that attacked him.

The feminine man’s chest was also pierced, but he still ran away with his teeth clenched.

The most pitiful of all, was still Valiant! This Valiant was good at soul attacks, and this defense against material attacks was a bit tough, barely resisting one attack. However, two material attacks in a row, one cut through his lower body. One cut through his shoulder, and immediately a thigh broke and flew away, and his right arm was also broken.

But Valiant, still desperately flew at breakneck speed.

“Hurry up.” Linley droned, and at the same time, he also diffused the black stone space, as Linley and his group of five people fled at breakneck speed. Those dozens of Upper Gods who had fallen into madness, on the other hand, roared in rage. As if they were chasing after life and death enemies, they chased without stopping.

As for the large trees that could be found everywhere in the Underworld Mountain, on the leaves of one of them, green snakes emerged once more, staring at the fleeing Linley’s group of five.

A few moments later, the white mist area and gray mist area of the mountainous ring, Linley and his five people appeared. It was clear …… that they had taken the wrong route and hadn’t been able to reach the Purple Mist Region.

“Running back again.” Bebe said helplessly.

“Luckily ran out.” That Valiant, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly grasped the time and worked hard to heal the injuries on his body. The purple-haired youth, Bulong, and that feminine man were similarly treating their injuries. The scene of running away just now. It had indeed made these few people nervous, if they were surrounded by a group of Upper Level Gods again, they would be in deep trouble.

Fortunately, after fleeing all the way, they were soon out of the Gray Mist Region.

“Prepare well, and later, continue in.” Linley said.

“You guys go in, I’ll go in alone.” The feminine man smiled faintly. “I appreciate Mr. Linley’s help …… but I’m still used to being alone. And five people together is too big a target. It’s easy to attract enemies.”

“Eh?” The purple-haired youths, Boulon and Valiant, both looked at him.

“As you wish.” Linley said indifferently.

Bebe snorted and glanced at him, “Oh, alone? I see, trying to find that Underworld Fruit.”

The muscles in the corner of the feminine man’s eyes twitched slightly. But he still laughed, “The Underworld Fruit? That’s entirely a matter of chance. It’s not something I can find just because I want to.”

Bebe grunted and didn’t speak again.

A moment later, Linley looked at Valiant, the purple-haired youth Bulong, who had already been treated for their injuries. Then he spoke, “The two of you should be fine, then let’s set off!” Valiant, the purple-haired youth and the two of them also followed Linley and Bebe, once again entering the gray fog area.

Bebe even turned around and glanced at the feminine man as he entered the gray mist area, snorting disdainfully.

The feminine man maintained his smile as he waited for the four to leave.

“Hmph!” The feminine man snorted coldly. “Finding the Underworld Fruit doesn’t just depend on strength, luck is more important. Right now you guys are stronger than me, if I get the Underworld Fruit, my strength will increase greatly, and then wait until the main divine artifact …… arrives!” Black streams of light flowed on the surface of the feminine man’s body, and his entire person appeared blurry.

Like a phantom. The feminine man quietly also scurried into the gray fog area. Nor did he dare to scurry at extreme speed.

“These crazy Upper Gods aren’t always going to fight. Sometimes, they will also quietly hide in a certain place.” Linley paid vigilant attention to his surroundings, “These crazy Upper Level Gods are just as crazy and cruel as the magical beasts in the Yulan Continent’s magical beast mountain range.”

Linley suddenly felt that he was currently walking in the Underworld Mountain. It was like walking in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range when he was a teenager.

It was just that back then, he was dealing with magical beasts. And now, he was guarding against a group of crazy earth gods! The place where it was located was also the first high mountain in the Underworld, where the main gods were located —-Underworld Mountain!

“Look guys!” Bebe suddenly let out a low cry.

Linley several people immediately looked towards the front, in front there was a corpse floating entangled by some vegetation, this way, Linley they had seen many corpses. But …… this corpse was someone they were familiar with. That feminine man!

“It’s him?” Linley frowned and immediately moved closer.

That feminine man’s face was pale, and there was a hole right in his forehead.

“It’s Green Snake!” Linley instantly decided, and Bebe snorted, “This guy always looks arrogant and terrific, always thinking how powerful he is. Still wants to go get the Underworld Fruit …… Hmph, I didn’t realize that he couldn’t even deal with a green snake!” Linley also secretly shook his head.

To go off alone when you can’t even deal with a single green snake was far too confident.

“Let’s go. Be careful on the road.” Linley continued on.

The two of them, Valiant and the purple-haired youth, Boulon, also glanced at the corpse of the feminine man and secretly shook their heads. With that, they also continued on.

However, Linley and the few of them hadn’t noticed that —-

The hole in the ground on this feminine man’s body wasn’t just one in his forehead. On his chest and thighs, there were also a full three holes! If they had noticed these three holes, Linley and the others would have been even more vigilant, I’m afraid. Power.” Bebe’s soul transmitted a voice.

Linley’s expression was solemn: “I’ve also noticed that something’s wrong, around here, there’s surprisingly no sound of killing.” I’m used to hearing the sounds of killing and shouting, but now that I can’t hear it, it’s weird. The black-robed, purple-haired youths, Bulong and Valiant, were equally vigilant in their surroundings, still following Linley, slowly advancing. All around —-

On the green leaves of a large tree, a green snake quietly stared at Linley and the few of them from behind. The sheer number of green snakes …… was enough to make Linley’s and their scalps numb. Unfortunately, Linley and the others simply didn’t have the slightest awareness of the presence of the green snakes.

“Boss, green snakes!” Bebe abruptly transmitted a voice, but his gaze was fixed on an inconspicuous leaf in front of him, where a green snake was quietly staring. When this green snake, realized that Bebe was staring at it, it instantly dissolved, turning into green energy that completely merged into the green leaves. It disappeared.

“Disappeared? It can integrate into the leaves?” Linley couldn’t help but be startled.

Lin Lei had suspicions of a sharp turn of the head, his eyes like lightning towards the leaves of the surrounding trees to look carefully, this look, Lin Lei’s face steeply changed—-

With this sweep of his gaze alone, he saw over ten green snakes!
