After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 253: Humans are more complex and dangerous than sea beasts

Because of the special environment of the Shadow Mist Reef, the points given for the tasks here are very high, which has also attracted many immortals to come here for training.

As more people come, there will naturally be more disputes!

Plus, those cunning phantom octopuses interfere, tempting people's inner demons, weaving illusions, and attracting people to kill each other.

This also makes the Shadow Mist Reef one of the most dangerous places in the entire Mirage Sea, and countless people have been buried here over the years.

As aliens, Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie naturally didn't know these gossips. However, Lu Bai had received Lu Fengxian's reminder early on that if he met other people in the Shadow Mist Reef, he must not approach them.

So after Bai Yaoyao put away the body of the phantom octopus, the few of them continued to move forward and stopped playing around. Their faces were tense and solemn. This abnormal situation made Bai Yaoyao look sideways.

Several people walked to a fork in the road.

Jack paused.

"My fellow immortals, according to the map, the nearest road is to the right. But as you may have heard, there are other immortals who come here to train. The road on the left can also lead to the destination, but it takes a little detour and will pass by the phantom octopus's nest and a tiger shark's nest. Both sides are dangerous. Please decide which way we should go?"

Bai Yaoyao was a little confused when she heard Jack's words, "There are sea beasts on the left, so it's understandable that it's dangerous. But why do you say the road on the right is also dangerous, Jack?!"

"I! I know!" Before Jack could reply, Lu Bai raised his hand and rushed to answer, then he spoke rapidly, vividly telling the story of how people could be easily deceived, their natures exposed, and how they could kill people for treasures and bury bodies after entering the Shadowy Mist Reef.

Jack said mysteriously, "Don't you know? In the last trial, the disciples of Lei Tianmen originally held the secret treasure of the sect and were ready to shine in this trial. As a result, they had a dispute with someone and were lured in here, and they were all killed!"

Bai Yaoyao: I really don’t know…

Chen Yingjie frowned and thought, "So, in this Shadowy Mist Reef, humans are more dangerous than sea beasts?"

Lu Bai and Jack nodded in unison.

Jack said, "Although the immortals have great spiritual power, we have limited time, so it is better to avoid disputes as much as possible."

Luna obviously agreed with Jack's words. She took two steps forward and suggested actively, "My fellow immortals, although the left route is a bit detour, it is not too far. Although the tiger shark is huge and extremely ferocious, you immortals will not be afraid of it with your abilities. Otherwise, let's go to the left!"

Luna only whispered with Jack along the way and occasionally said a few words to Bai Yaoyao. This was the first time she took the initiative to speak so many words, which made Chen Yingjie look at her strangely.

When Luna received Chen Yingjie's gaze, her body and mind trembled, and she quickly lowered her head and avoided looking at him.

Chen Yingjie narrowed his eyes and felt very strange, but his thoughts were interrupted by Bai Yaoyao's words.

"Brother, why don't we go to the left? Sea beasts are easy to deal with, but people are often much more complicated than sea beasts. We have limited time, so we shouldn't delay!"

"But..." Chen Yingjie looked hesitant.

Now, although they have obtained the secret method of cultivation, Bai Yaoyao still cannot draw Qi into the body, and although he himself is gifted, he is only in the Qi Refining Stage. They know very well how much lethality the two of them have.

If you take the road on the left, you will inevitably face off against the tiger shark.

It is naturally impossible for Lu Bai to resist alone.

If you want to pass safely, Bai Yaoyao must take action.

Use the buff on your body to kill all those tiger sharks.

But whether it is Jack Luna who regards them as gods, or Lu Bai who keeps licking Bai Yaoyao's face and sticking to her to repay her for saving his life, Chen Yingjie doesn't trust any of them!

Bai Yaoyao knew what he was worried about, so she went up to Chen Yingjie and whispered something in his ear.

Chen Yingjie thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "Okay! Then go to the left! You have to be careful then!"

Luna, who had been paying close attention to the conversation between the two, was overjoyed when she heard Chen Yingjie's decision. She hurried to Jack and whispered something to him, which made Jack furious and shook his head.

Luna was about to say something else, but saw Chen Yingjie walking to the front, so she quickly stepped back.

"Let's go! Left!"

After Chen Yingjie pointed out the direction to Jack, Jack responded and led the way.

After passing this fork in the road, you will leave the stone forest and officially enter the heart of the Shadowy Mist Reef.

The fog here is so thick that you can barely see about one meter away.

Jack, who was at the front, looked forward with a serious expression.

"Why are there so many phantom octopuses here!?"

A few people looked forward and saw a gray haze in front of them. Even the original deep blue color of the mirage was completely covered up and they could not see anything clearly.

"Then should we just walk along the seabed like we did through the stone forest before?"

Jack looked down and shook his head decisively, "No! This place is different from the stone forest! Because the stone forest is oddly shaped, there is not much space at the bottom, and there are no sea beasts underneath, so I took you through the seabed. But the seabed here is a series of reefs, and groups of phantom octopuses live underneath, more than in the air!"

Bai Yaoyao also looked at the system map at this time.

On the gray map, a large area of ​​red light belonging to sea beasts appeared. It was so densely packed that it made people with claustrophobia feel like they were suffering from it.

She quietly asked 686 in her heart, "Can you find a way out?"

686 yawned. "Of course I can! I told you before, I can lead the way, why bother looking for this mermaid!"

Bai Yaoyao: "I'm just afraid of accidents! After all, it was the shopkeeper who specifically asked us to find a mermaid with spiritual eyes!"

It was obvious that the shopkeeper Canglan was not an ordinary person. Although she had the system map, she had no way to deal with the illusion.

With Jack around, they avoided almost all illusions along the way.

Even if someone fell into an illusion, he could wake them up quickly.

It seems that the talent of this spiritual eye is indeed extraordinary.

Bai Yaoyao was talking to 686 in her mind. Chen Yingjie frowned and asked, "Can you find a safe way to pass through?"

Jack did not answer directly, but looked into the distance with blue light flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that the fog in front of him was like a smooth road for him who had spiritual eyes.

"Yes! This way! Follow me!"

"But the positions of these phantom octopuses are changing all the time, so you'd better not be too far away from me. The illusions here are intertwined and overlapping. If you accidentally fall into them, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
