Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 283 - Anguished Fog



"Can you stop wandering around already?" Yang Wei then scolded her.

And he continued, "I\'ve told you to follow my footsteps exactly yet you kept walking off the grid and triggered multiple traps already."

Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders.

"It\'s not my fault that I\'m starving a lot and someone is stingy enough to not share his food." Zhu Wenqian pouted as she patted her rumbling stomach.

"Do you think I still have the concentration to walk after your footsteps with a hungry stomach?" She added.

.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth at her shameless behavior.

\'Just a while ago, you were skipping around happily until you failed to scam my Dragon Soul Grass.\' Yang Wei grumbled inwardly as he wondered if there\'s a place to drop her.

Exploring with Zhu Wenqian was like exploring with a moody and pouty little girl.

"Whatever, since you want to activate the traps then stay here." Yang Wei released his grip as he began walking ahead.

"You\'re so stingy…" Zhu Wenqian mumbled as she followed after Yang Wei with a reluctant expression. "It\'s just a few pieces of the Dragon Soul Grass and it\'s not like I\'m taking a piece of your flesh."

Sometime later, Yang Wei halted his movement as he noticed the change up ahead.

"Weird… why is the atmosphere so different?" Yang Wei muttered as he tried to use his spiritual perception.

In his current location, there wasn\'t any fog around but up ahead, there was a gloomy white fog that covered his vision.

It was impossible to see through what\'s inside so Yang Wei decided to see if his spiritual perception could detect anything.

However, his spiritual perception was suddenly nullified as soon as it touched the white fog up ahead.

"Huh? What is this weird fog?" Yang Wei was dumbfounded to see his spiritual perception fail to penetrate through the fog.

Suddenly, Yang Wei recalled Elder Shan\'s words before she left them alone.

"Anguished Fog!" Yang Wei gasped in surprise.

"Anguished Fog?" Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow as she tugged on his sleeve. "What is the Anguished Fog? Is it something to eat?"

Yang Wei twitched his mouth when he heard Zhu Wenqian\'s words.

"Is your mind filled with food now?" Yang Wei questioned her.

Now wasn\'t the time to discuss what to eat as they have a situation at hand.

"What is the Anguished Fog even doing in this cave?" Yang Wei muttered as he recalled the Anguished Fog only appears in the Central Core of the Misty Forest.

While Yang Wei tried to figure out the cause of the appearance of the Anguished Fog, the cave began trembling heavily.

Yang Wei raised his tone as he shouted, "Zhu Wenqian, stop fooling around now. Do you really want us to get buried alive?"

"It\'s not even me," Zhu Wenqian rebuked as she pinched his waist. "Does it look like I\'m dumb enough to risk my life?"

Yang Wei held a gawking expression. "Crap, something must have happened outside of the cave."

"What are we going to do now?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

Yang Wei was about to open his mouth to retreat back on their paths until the debris started falling down.

To make things worse, the rock coincidentally blocked their path of retreat and Yang Wei\'s expression darkened instantly.

"You gotta be joking with me?" Yang Wei clenched his fist as he shouted, "This is the worst cliche and cringe scenario you could come up with."

Yang Wei then grabbed Zhu Wenqian\'s hand as he unwillingly stepped forward to enter the Anguished Fog.

After all, there wouldn\'t be enough time for them to retreat backward when the cave kept trembling heavily and debris collapsing downward.

Sometime later, Yang Wei made sure his hand was tightly connected with Zhu Wenqian.

"Don\'t let go of our hands at all." Yang Wei warned as he knew they could get separated easily with their vision lowered by a lot.

Not to mention, it was impossible to use their spiritual perception to check their current location.

They were now walking blindly in a maze without even knowing its structure.

"Where are we now?" Zhu Wenqian asked as she wrapped her arms around Yang Wei\'s arm.

She was frightened to realize her vision was blocked and her only helper was Yang Wei.

"I don\'t know either, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei replied as he tried to activate his alchemy flame to create a dim light.

Alas, the alchemy flame may have appeared but there was no lighting due to the white fog covering everywhere.

"Let me try to use my Saint Qi to create a light." Zhu Wenqian suggested as she flicked her hand.

The Saint Qi appeared and caused a slight gust in the white fog.

However, the results were still the same and they could only see the white fog surrounding their area.

"This is too spooky…" Zhu Wenqian mumbled as she felt like she was being spied on.

"Protect me, Yang Wei… I still haven\'t had enough of those Dragon Soul Grass," she added.

Yang Wei rolled his eyes at Zhu Wenqian. \'Woman, we\'re currently lost and you still want to eat... \'

Without knowing their coordination, Yang Wei decided to walk blindly for now.

Sometime later, Yang Wei still felt himself in the same position without moving at all.

The white fog and the scene in front of them didn\'t change one bit.

\'This is like flying a plane in the sky without coordination.\' Yang Wei compared his situation to his previous life on Earth.

"Why did you stop moving, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian lifted her head slightly to glance at him.

"Are we out of the Anguished Fog yet?" She asked.

Yang Wei could feel her body trembling slightly. Despite her upfront and joking remark, Yang Wei knew she had her eyes closed the entire time.

"Not yet," Yang Wei replied as he pulled her closer, giving her some warmth.
