134: Chapter 134 The Sudden Appearance of the Demonic Mist

"Differences in strength, differences in state of mind... my perspective on things is slowly becoming vastly different from what it used to be."

"I wonder if, in the future, I will be able to look down upon that Upper City."

"Instead of looking up at it."

Amidst his thoughts.

Suddenly.

Qin Feng's gaze shifted.

He saw mist rolling in and spreading all around.

"Whoosh!"

The murky mist rolled with the wind.

Like billowing dust and smoke.

The morning sunlight was obscured and eroded.

Until only a murky and vast haze remained, enveloping him and covering the piles of ruin garbage mountains nearby.

The figures of junkmen and Scavengers were hidden within it.

Only a few.

Not many.

Yet it gave off an indescribable feeling.

Faint whispers, sleep-talk, and intermittent sobbing echoed through the air.

Compared to before.

The current Ruin Market felt a bit more desolate.

And a bit more eerie.

The vendors, shopkeepers, and customers who should have been at the early market were now scattered, their figures weaving through the mist, as broadcast announcements rang out from time to time:

"Attention! Attention!"

"Recently, the whispering syndrome ghostly disease is not only at its peak outbreak phase, but is also gradually mutating!"

"Now, it's not just at night; even during the day, as long as you go out, you are very likely to fall ill!"

"Pay special attention to the sudden appearance of unknown hazes. These hazes contain lethal ghostly disease factors. Everyone, upon encountering the haze, please hurry into a sealed room and do not go out. If you hear someone knocking or hear strange sounds outside, do not respond or peek, otherwise, you do so at your own risk!"

"Please remember: Be careful day and night, return quickly if you meet mist, if there are strange sounds when knocking, do not respond. If you do not comply, your loved ones will weep!"

Qin Feng listened silently to the piercing broadcast.

Watching figures in the haze rushing and scurrying.

In the blink of an eye.

Not a single figure could be seen anymore.

His eyes flickered slightly:

"Looking at this, the Demon Food Festival held by the demons has completely begun."

"Now is the time for the demons to start harvesting the 'crops'."

Based on various information obtained previously.

The so-called "Demon Food Festival."

In essence, it is a massive and wide-reaching special Demon God Ritual.

Within the ritual's range.

All the dead eggs of the demon god inside the Lower City people will have a certain probability of reviving and becoming Live Eggs, thereby gestating new demons.

"To put it bluntly, the so-called 'Demon Food Festival' is an induced birth ritual."

"If the induction is successful, everyone is happy, and the demon god gains another descendant."

"If the induction fails and various mutations occur, the demons can just harvest them and store them as 'crops' in the granary."

Qin Feng's expression was not very good.

He had intended to take a leisurely stroll.

And soak in the morning sun.

But suddenly, the Demon Mist drifted in.

It was truly unlucky.

"However, during the Demon Food Festival, a hundred demons walk the earth, and the probability of running into one increases; I could probably encounter one just by walking down the street."

"This way, I can take the opportunity to verify the method I have in mind for farming proficiency for my Spirituality Warning skill."

Qin Feng's idea was simple.

"Spirituality Warning" is similar to Spider-Sense.

When Spider-Man fights enemies, his Spider-Sense is triggered continuously, helping him avoid attacks and risks.

Therefore...

To trigger Spirituality Warning frequently.

The best way.

Is naturally combat!

"As a Martial Artist, sitting around and cultivating dryly definitely won't work; I also need to properly gain some practical combat experience to enrich my fighting techniques."

"Well, I'll use demons to practice first."

"With my current strength as a Martial Artist, I don't need to fear ordinary demons."

Thinking of this.

Qin Feng did not return to the Underground Base.

Instead, he began to walk through the deep and murky haze.

He did not use the Hide skill to conceal himself.

To farm proficiency for the Spirituality Warning skill.

Hide certainly wouldn't have a positive effect.

On the contrary, it would be counterproductive.

Of course.

Qin Feng hadn't neglected risk-avoidance measures either.

He had left a Hidden Body in the Underground Base as an anchor; if he encountered any irresistible danger, he would teleport back immediately without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmm?"

Time passed bit by bit.

Qin Feng gradually left the core of the Ruin Market.

He stepped onto a plastic running track.

This plastic track was very old, with signs of damage everywhere, but it was very long, stretching into the vast mist ahead.

In the mist...

Qin Feng saw a figure running towards him.

"It looks like... someone is jogging?"

Who would be jogging in the Demon Mist for no reason?

Is it a demon?

Qin Feng became suspicious and prepared for battle.

His hand was poised as if gripping a blade.

whispers of the ancient god.

It seemed it could appear in his hand at any moment.

However.

Qin Feng's Spirituality Warning skill did not react at this moment.

Soon.

The silhouette of the figure became clear in the haze.

He saw...

It was a young girl.

She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen.

Wearing a purple tracksuit.

Her long ponytail bounced behind her head with her rhythmic movements, looking quite lively.

As for the girl's appearance...

Qin Feng glanced at the girl's face and saw her eyes lift to meet his; their gazes intertwined.

Qin Feng saw long eyelashes.

Eyes as deep as the stars.

A pert nose.

Rosy lips.

And a faint smile playing on her lips as the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"You..."

The girl stopped her morning run and looked at Qin Feng's face with curiosity.

Suddenly, she seemed to discover something, and the faint smile on her lips gradually deepened.

Then it became exaggerated.

More and more exaggerated.

The corners of her mouth actually stretched all the way to her ears!

In the next moment.

There was a "Rrip!" sound.

The flesh at the corners of her mouth split open, pulling out strands of fibrous meat like stitches; the girl's face instantly became psychotic and deformed!

Sharp, dense teeth, like steel needles, emerged from the torn flesh on both sides, making a grinding crick-crack sound:

"Your scent... is so delicious!"

"I really want to eat..."

Swish!

Suddenly.

A blade light flashed.

A bloodline appeared on the girl's fair, tender neck.

The bloodline slanted.

Her neck slid off.

Splat!

The girl's head tumbled down, bouncing a few times on the ground like a ball.

"I almost forgot, demons are best at disguise; no wonder my Spirituality Warning skill didn't react at first."

"But as soon as this demon dropped its disguise, the Spirituality Warning skill reacted immediately."

Qin Feng looked at the skill panel of the crimson cheat.

He saw that the skill had undergone some changes.

Spirituality Warning: beginner (7%)
