YM778.TV Chapter 196: Misty World
"In the Dark Night Forest, we are powerful supernatural beings, but in this cursed place, ordinary people can kill us easily!"
"Kid, you must not let anyone know that you can use supernatural abilities!"
He instructed that.
Enzo was somewhat absent-minded and tried to use other supernatural powers, but found that he could only use the energy of three elements: life, flame, and space, while the energy of lightning could not be used.
The common feature of these three elements was that he understood the corresponding element pattern.
This Moon Tide world was designed for normal supernatural beings.
Mastering element patterns allowed immunity to this restriction.
Realizing this, Enzo felt relieved.
Norma had also mastered the space element pattern, and with everyone else being ordinary, Norma\'s strength was sufficient to sweep through everything.
Of course, Enzo could do that too.
However, due to Leiden\'s warning, Enzo chose not to reveal it.
He needed to understand this Moon Tide world first.
Two days later.
Under the canopy piled with herbs, Leiden was reporting to Enzo, "According to my inquiries, to leave this strange world, you must traverse the endless Moon Tide mist. However, the Moon Tide is fraught with dangers, not just monsters but also other tribes within the Moon Tide.
Some tribes despise outsiders and will treat them as food if discovered."
"Other than that, there\'s no other way to leave."
"Oh, and I\'ve heard another piece of information. It\'s said that this Moon Tide appeared due to a battle. I couldn\'t find details about the battle, but I suspect this place might be the source of the Moon Tide in the outside world."
Leiden\'s guess was not without merit.
However, there was one thing Enzo couldn\'t understand.
He asked Leiden, "According to everyone, this tribe is also within the Moon Tide mist. Logically, the native inhabitants should also be unable to resist the monsters in the Moon Tide, yet they manage to bring back many prey and require us to collect Moonlight Grass and make various tools and items."
"That doesn\'t make sense!" Leiden also realized this.
Where were those prey coming from?
What is the purpose of the Moonlight Grass, and why is it in such high demand?
The issues involved have not been thoroughly investigated.
However, there\'s not much time left for further investigation, as the number of tribe members is rapidly decreasing, and the missing are all outsiders.
No one knows where they have gone.
And the chief has strictly forbidden any inquiries, with severe punishment for those who ask.
Leiden also spoke softly at this moment, "I have already contacted the others and will take action tonight. As long as we catch the clan leader, we can learn the truth about all of this and leave here."
Leiden\'s heart was filled with longing.
The past few days had been unbearable.
Enzo nodded slightly, waiting quietly for the night to come.
...
At night, with a shout, the entire tribe became restless.
Hearing the commotion, the tribe leader immediately came out.
A large group of tribal natives followed him, armed with weapons, and questioned the people making the noise, "What are you doing?"
Before an answer could be given, someone charged forward.
He shouted in anger, "How dare you make me do such menial work! You are all damned!"
The tribe leader, visibly contemptuous, gave the order, "Kill him!"
Immediately, a native stepped forward and grasped the man\'s neck.
At that moment, a flame fell onto the native, quickly igniting his clothing. In an instant, he was engulfed in flames, emitting agonizing screams, while Enzo and Leiden slowly walked out.
He said to the clan leader, "Leader, we meet again!"
The clan leader, still disdainful, ordered, "You guys, go put out the fire! The rest of you, capture all these troublemaking outsiders.Then kill them to feed those wild beasts."
Enzo smiled and asked, "Did you make a mistake?"
The clan leader\'s expression fluctuated between anger and fear as he realized something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean?"
Enzo snapped his fingers.
Instantly, several massive fireballs appeared behind him, radiating intense heat.
In the outside world, such a sight might not be surprising, but in the Moon Tide Misty World, where all supernatural powers are prohibited, Enzo\'s display was nothing short of shocking, especially to the locals.
They were all stunned, even ignoring the screams of the indigenous person before.
The clan leader, clearly experienced and horrified, exclaimed, "Impossible, how can you still use supernatural powers?"
Enzo didn\'t explain but threatened, "Tell me about everything here and the origin of the entire Moon Tide Misty World. If you don\'t provide a summary, I can\'t guarantee you\'ll survive the flames."
However, it seemed the clan leader did not hear.
As he looked at the fireballs behind Enzo, something strange happened to him.
Not only him but also other locals, including the one previously burned by flames, now had their flames extinguished and their bodies turned red and pockmarked, as if eaten by insects.
These...
These were Moon Tide monsters!
Enzo\'s expression changed as he recalled the Moon Tide monster he had encountered earlier.
However, this time was different.
The monster transformed from the chieftain was much taller and had a clear consciousness. He looked at Enzo and said, "Why bother? You could have lived here peacefully, but you had to struggle fearlessly. If that\'s the case, then go die!"
In the next moment, a group of monsters attacked the crowd.
The monster that the clan leader had turned into ignored Enzo\'s fireballs and charged straight at him.
"Fire immunity!"
Enzo realized instantly and had to rely on spatial elemental powers.
Several invisible spatial blades struck the monster, creating a series of sharp clinks and momentarily halting its advance.
Damn it!
The spatial element is immune too!
Enzo had never faced such a troublesome monster, and with Norma absent and unable to assist, he was at a disadvantage.
Additionally, The Eye of All Things was unusable, making it difficult to discern the monster\'s weakness.
The others were being slaughtered without any chance to fight back.
Enzo could only shout to Leiden, "Escape into the mist!"
Despite the dangers of the Moon Tide mist, survival demanded entry into it.
For these supernatural beings, losing their powers was even more terrifying than death.
So, while Enzo prevented the indigenous people from becoming monsters, others rushed into the mist.
The locals yelled angrily, "Stop them!"
But at this moment, the fleeing group ignored the commands.
After blocking another monster\'s attack and seeing no survivors among the outsiders, Enzo retreated, entering the mist through a gap in the right side of the camp.
Upon entry, Enzo immediately sensed a change.
After carefully assessing the situation, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, "The spatial fluctuations here are chaotic. The mist\'s area frequently shifts and remains unknown, which is likely why people get lost."
"To get through the mist, you need to understand the spatial fluctuation patterns within it."
Enzo immediately confirmed his strategy.
Just then, with another fluctuation in the space, Enzo heard a voice.
In addition ,in the pitch-black mist, a small light appeared.
He walked towards the spot where the light was, and upon approaching, he found six people sitting by the campfire, including two middle-aged people who were probably companions, and the others who were also around the same age.
What surprised Enzo the most was that these people all had a faint supernatural aura.
Moreover, he felt a sense of familiarity.
"Who is it? Come out!"
At the same time,someone noticed the disturbance and called out to Enzo.
He stepped forward.
And as he did, the others by the fire stood up. They too sensed the supernatural presence from Enzo.
Then they visibly relaxed and asked, "Which squad are you from? I haven\'t seen you before."
The question carried significant implications.
"Which squad are you from..."The presence of a squad indicated that these people were organized and that their numbers were significant enough to warrant different squads.
Realizing this, Enzo gave a vague response, "I\'m new and got separated from my squad."
The group didn\'t seem suspicious.
The middle-aged man from the couple, Xavior, invited Enzo to sit down and introduced himself and his wife, Sandra. "Since you\'re lost, join our squad for now. I\'m Xavior, the leader of this mist exploration squad.This is my wife Sandra."
The others also introduced themselves one by one.
Enzo replied, "Enzo, Potion Master, from Dark Night Forest."
Enzo repeated his earlier identity.
Upon hearing this, Xavior looked up and asked, "You\'re a Potion Master? And how did you get into the mist?"
This question made Enzo suspicious. Why would his identity as a Potion Master be emphasized?
How he answered would be crucial.
