At this moment, deep within the mist.
The Ghost Soul High Priest had already erased most of the Ghost Clan Chief’s will. In just one or two more days, he would complete it and attempt to open the Subspace Gate, reaching Seven Stars.
Then, he suddenly sensed a vast amount of Life Breath appearing outside the mist.
His heart jolted immediately, knowing that the enemy had arrived.
After all, in this Dead Silence Wilderness, he only had enemies, no allies.
He dared not be negligent, after all, that unknown formidable enemy had actually driven him to this point.
He immediately extended a part of his Spirit along the mist to see exactly who his enemy was.
A moment later, he saw Su Yu and the others outside the mist.
Originally, the High Priest was uneasy, fearing the enemy’s strength might be too much to handle.
But upon seeing Su Yu and others, he was stunned and almost wanted to laugh.
With his strength, he could roughly sense the levels of everyone’s abilities.
"Haha, these are my enemies? Just that bit of power?"
"Three thousand people, over a thousand Mechanical Creations, among them many ordinary people?!"
"With such little power, even if I ignored them, they couldn’t breach the Ghost Energy Fog. Even if they managed to get in, facing hundreds of thousands of Ghost Demons would be courting death!"
"They dare to come over with just such few people, truly ignorant of death, once I break through, I’ll turn all of you into nourishment!"
The High Priest’s heart settled, no longer concerned with the outside world, focusing solely on his breakthrough.
Outside the mist, the group remained silent.
"Do we really have to enter this mist to fight those Ghost Demons?"
Lang Yun held it in for a long time and finally couldn’t help but speak up.
Having experienced the Battle of Li He, he knew that in this mist, those Ghost Demons came and went without a trace, extremely terrifying.
Moreover, the mist back then didn’t have such strong Radiation, and there weren’t as many Ghost Demons, a hundred thousand in total!
Entering the mist to fight would mean facing terrifying Radiation even before the battle starts.
Coupled with losing vision, blindly groping around, if attacked by the Ghost Demon army, with units scattered and defeated separately, it’s only death without life.
"What, is Captain Lang afraid?"
Su Yu glanced at Lang Yun, his expression slightly unfriendly, thinking this guy really hadn’t grown at all, still so timid.
Hearing this, Lang Yun quickly waved his hand: "Administrator, no... it’s not..."
At this point, Yang Lie spoke: "Administrator, this mist indeed covers too wide an area, with too strong Radiation, we need to figure something out."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded. Yang Lie wasn’t afraid to fight but was instead rationally considering how to fight this battle.
Just then, another person spoke up: "Administrator, we Wanderers are willing to enter the mist first to scout the path for the main force, to understand the situation inside."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu turned his head and saw it was the middle-aged man who had taken Yu Ping’an’s brain tissue three days ago.
In three days, his appearance had changed drastically, covered entirely in metallic sheen, even his face was no exception.
It seemed he had used that one million contribution to fully transform his body with artificial enhancements. Around him were a dozen others, all with the same appearance.
"These guys really went through with it after all..."
Su Yu shook his head slightly in his heart.
He had not been concerned about the transformations of these people.
Now the artificial body transformations in the city were all handled by other Mechanics, Su Yu didn’t bother with these trivial matters.
Only at this moment did he realize the survivors from the Wandering Village had indeed kept their word.
These people were the last Transcendents left from the Wandering Village, their powers were not strong, only one or two stars, but now with artificial enhancements, their powers had greatly improved, even reaching the level of four stars.
But...they probably wouldn’t live long, forcefully boosting strength with artificial bodies leads to this outcome.
Moreover, volunteering to scout the mist was almost courting death.
"No, if you go in, you will surely die."
Su Yu shook his head.
In truth, he was also contemplating how to fight this battle; directly entering the mist was definitely not an option, as the mist covered too wide an area, with too strong Radiation.
Use the Flame of Truth to burn it? Such a large area, it’s a bit tricky...
At this point, Kuang Gu also spoke up: "Administrator, there must be someone to scout the path, no great war comes without fatalities, count me in."
He was grateful for Su Yu’s help in saving the Skeleton Tribe, so he volunteered to fight.
"Administrator, count me in too!"
Seeing this, Transcendents from several other major communities also volunteered to fight.
They couldn’t fall behind Kuang Gu, otherwise, how could people from their communities blend into Mechanical City in the future?
Moreover, if this battle were lost, no one would blend in anywhere in the future, so they had to fight this battle. Besides, seeing Su Yu’s calm demeanor, maybe he really had something up his sleeve?
These Transcendents, though aware of the enemies’ tremendous power, at the brink, they still had the courage to fight, even Hu Wen spoke up too.
Seeing everyone suddenly so brave, Lang Yun felt a bit guilty, wondering if he was too cowardly?
So he gritted his teeth, preparing to speak as well...
"Administrator, let me try."
Feng Tian, who had remained silent, spoke at this moment.
Huang Ying, hearing this, became anxious. "Little Feng Feng, your health is too weak, you can’t go, I’ll go..."
Feng Tian shook his head: "Don’t worry, I won’t go in, I want to try...wind!"
At Feng Tian’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Feng Tian’s ability was controlling the wind, and by common logic, mist was most afraid of strong wind!
Even though it was unknown whether this Ghost Energy Fog feared wind, it wouldn’t hurt to try...
Hearing Feng Tian’s words, Su Yu nodded: "You can try it first, if it doesn’t work, we’ll think of something else."
"Yes! Administrator!"
Feng Tian said solemnly, then stepped in front of the crowd, gazed at the mist not far away, and closed his eyes.
A moment later, the wind rose!
Centered on Feng Tian, gusts of wind whipped up out of nowhere, gathering more and more until it formed a huge tornado, sweeping toward that mass of mist.
"Such Spiritual Energy, it’s truly formidable, almost able to create natural disasters..."
Witnessing Feng Tian’s display, everyone was slightly astonished.
Most Transcendents enhanced their own powers—manipulating the power of heaven and earth like Feng Tian was quite rare.
Even Su Yu regarded Feng Tian with admiration, realizing Transcendents weren’t the only strong ones among Mechanics; those who could control the forces of nature were also remarkable.
A moment later, the tornado reached the edge of the mist, causing the mist to ripple continuously.
Unfortunately, it only rippled; it wasn’t dispersed.
The mist seemed ethereal and elusive, but was actually gelatinous in texture, quite solid.
Feng Tian maintained the tornado for a while, but it still had no effect, ultimately having to give up reluctantly, dispersing his power.
He took a breath and shook his head: "No good..."
Seeing this, everyone showed disappointment, was entering the mist to engage really necessary?
Su Yu, however, seemed thoughtful: "Not necessarily, you’ve already swayed the mist, it’s just that your level is too low..."
The mist was created by a Seven-Star level Transcendent; that Feng Tian could shake it was already commendable.
Feng Tian looked ashamed instantly: "Administrator, I’m too weak..."
Su Yu chuckled: "That’s not what I meant, you can try again!"
Meanwhile, a white flame emerged in his hand, the Flame of Truth!
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Flame of Truth turned into a column of fire, extending from his hand to burn upon the mist.
Once this flame touched the mist, it erupted like fire meeting gasoline, crackling and blazing fiercely.
Despite the intense flames, the mist’s expanse was too large and very dense.
The Flame of Truth could only burn the surface for now, unable to penetrate deeper, and could not burn the entire mist away instantly.
Moreover, energy was constantly replenishing the depths of the mist.
Seeing this, Feng Tian understood Su Yu’s intention immediately.
He quickly activated his power again, strong winds blew, causing the mist to fluctuate.
As the mist fluctuated, it could no longer resist the Flame of Truth’s burning.
White Fire blazed skywards, the fire borrowing the wind’s momentum, rapidly spreading, igniting the entire mass of mist within a short time!
