Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

253 Fear of the Unknown
“Everyone, be careful. This fog is strange.”

Like boiling a frog in warm water, the surrounding scenery became increasingly blurry, as if it had completely blended into the fog. At first, they could only see the rough outline.

By the time they realized this, they could not identify objects even if they looked closely. The world was swallowed by this white fog, and everything became white.

Before they knew it, they had been surrounded by the thick fog. This place had become the fog’s territory, and these people were like reckless intruders, unable to find their bearings.

“Have we already fallen into some sort of illusionary array?”

The great elder of the Misty Illusory Manor had a grim expression. “We have to find a way out quickly. Please lend us a hand, Elder Sun.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the old man who was resting with his eyes closed. His hair and beard were all white, and his body exuded an inexplicable Taoist rhythm. The moment he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a golden light flowing out. It seemed to have a supreme divine might and no one dared to look directly into it.

“That’s simple.”

Elder Sun’s voice was a little nonchalant.

He was one of the most powerful grand elders of the Misty Illusory Manor, skilled in arrays. It could be said that there were few in the world who could match him. His hands formed hand seals, and he drew a complicated pattern in the air.

The divine light was bright, and a beam of light fell from the sky. The others couldn’t help but raise their hands to cover their eyes. It was so dazzling that even the fog seemed to have thinned a lot.

The Grand Elder was indeed powerful.

The fog had reduced by a lot, and a path could be vaguely seen from within. The dark, winding path was very obvious within the white fog, and it extended into the distance.

However, they couldn’t see it any further. The path seemed to have no end.

Yet, the crowd couldn’t even be happy for a few seconds. Like a flash in the pan, the path disappeared, and the fog gathered again as if it had just been an illusion.

“Why did it just disappear?” The great elder was dumbfounded.

They tried to walk to the location of the previous path but found that there was nothing there. The changes that had occurred silently caught everyone off guard.

Even Elder Sun’s expression changed slightly. He mumbled something, and the speed of his hand seals became faster and faster. The patterns in the air also became more complicated, filled with choppy words and symbols.

Everyone was dazzled, but the elder’s attempts were like a flower shelf, completely useless. The mist seemed to have taken root and did not budge at all, as if it had already become one with the world.

Elder Sun, who had originally been as unmoving as a mountain, began to look distressed. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he no longer looked down on the fog.

No matter how many methods he used, he could not figure out the mystery.

The other grand elders knew that the situation was grim and finally lost their previous arrogance. They also made their moves, but they were all like mud cows entering the sea, and there was still no reaction.

When they realized that even their divine senses couldn’t penetrate the mist, they finally realized that something was wrong.

No matter how these people used all kinds of spells and spiritual powers, they couldn’t disperse the mist. It was as if they were trapped inside and they finally panicked.

“It must be the work of that flood dragon. Other than it, who else here has such a great ability?”

“A great demon actually used such a lowly method. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“If you have the ability, then come face to face with us. Could it be that you’re afraid of us?”

Some people flew into a rage out of humiliation, while others looked around vigilantly, afraid that demonic beasts would suddenly attack.

However, the surroundings were quiet. There was no movement at all. The white fog was silent, as if it could even swallow all sound.

The fear of the unknown was far more frightening than facing it directly. If a large number of fierce beasts appeared, everyone would feel calm. However, if that was the case, even the slightest movement in the surroundings would make them panic.

After a long time, it was inevitable that their nerves would become weak, so much so that they didn’t even realize that someone was missing from their side.

At first, it was only a few disciples. Those disciples who stood on the periphery only felt a chill behind their backs. When they turned around, the white mist was already very close behind, wrapping their entire bodies within it. They didn’t even make a sound before being swallowed by the mist.

Their companions were looking around vigilantly, not noticing what had happened at that moment. It was as if some unknown existence had affected their senses.

In the end, it was the elder with the stronger cultivation base who noticed that something was wrong. “Why do I feel like the number of people has decreased?”

In the past, they wouldn’t have paid attention to such a small matter. However, now that they were trapped in the strange white fog, it was as if they had shrunk in the blink of an eye.

It was only when he reminded them that the disciples finally realized what was going on.

“Where did Senior Brother Li go?”

“Where did Junior Brother Zhao go?”

The leading elder counted and found that many people had disappeared. Even a few elders had disappeared inexplicably. A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

“They seem to have disappeared…”

“How could this be? How could a living person just disappear right under our noses?”

The number of missing people left everyone dumbfounded.

Everyone was clearly standing together, and the distance between one another wasn’t too far. If there was anything unusual, they would definitely notice it immediately. However, after so many people went missing…

Everyone felt their blood run cold. What kind of power could do this?

Someone gulped subconsciously. “What should we do now…”

Just as everyone was at a loss, a faint dragon’s roar sounded as if it was just a few feet away!
