Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 378

Chapter 378

Carrying large and small packs, the five quickly headed towards the fissure.

Lu Sheng led the way.

When they reached the edge of the fissure, Lu Sheng quietly observed the massive fissure before him.

The fissure was filled with faint black mist, slowly rising and falling with the air currents.

Light was swallowed upon entry, making visibility very low.

Strange howls occasionally echoed from the black mist, followed by the shadows of exotic beasts quickly climbing the cliff walls and darting into the distance …

Lu Sheng was reminded of scenes from epic fantasy movies depicting demonic or ghostly Catacombs.

The place was very similar.

Zhan Hongyu stood beside Lu Sheng, looking at the black mist less than ten meters above the ground, and said in a complex tone, “This Catacomb has existed for nearly three hundred years. When it first appeared, the black mist was far below. Now …”

Zhan Hongyu didn’t continue, but Lu Sheng understood.

The black mist was rising.

The fissure was expanding.

If you knew that a thousand years from now, this black mist would cover the world, what would you think?

Lu Sheng silently said this to Zhan Hongyu in his heart.

He calmly said, “Let’s go down.”

Lu Sheng had already tested it.

The black mist had little effect on spiritual power, and his spiritual power could still reach far within the Catacomb.

Only a few areas felt obscure.

Those were probably the Abyss Zhan Hongyu mentioned.

Even without spiritual power, Lu Sheng could scout far with his vision.

Lu Sheng had already chosen a landing spot in the black mist and leaped down lightly.

The Tiger Scorpion Squad members followed without hesitation.

Enveloped by the thin black mist, Lu Sheng felt no discomfort.

He took a deep breath.

His nostrils acted like powerful vacuum cleaners, sucking in all the black mist around him.

The Tiger Scorpion Squad, having just landed, saw this astonishing scene and were visibly shocked.

Although the black mist had little effect on martial artists, Lu Sheng’s exaggerated inhalation was rare.

But Lu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged.

Lu Sheng silently observed the changes as the black mist entered his body.

He found that it was futile.

No matter how much black mist entered, it was immediately annihilated upon touching his flesh, leaving nothing behind.

The Stellar Immortal Physique was too powerful, not allowing any foreign presence.

Lu Sheng abandoned this little experiment.

“Let’s go.”

With the surrounding black mist cleared, the visibility improved significantly. Lu Sheng led the team forward without wasting any words.

***

In the darkness, a monster resembling a kamaitachi* clung to the cliff, with an extremely long tail and limbs deeply embedded in the hard rock.

[*Kamaitachi – Wikipedia]

It seemed to be dozing.

Suddenly, the black mist ahead dispersed, and the sound of a howling wind blew through.

The dozing kamaitachi monster abruptly opened its eyes, revealing two oily green eyes.

And this was just the beginning.

The wind sounded like a fuse going off.

In the darkness, pairs of oily green eyes lit up, densely packed, hundreds or thousands, impossible to count.

Even those without trypophobia would be infected by the rapidly spreading eerie and oppressive atmosphere in the darkness, feeling their scalp tingle and their legs tremble.

Squeak—

The strange cries sounded one after another.

Forming a continuous stream.

The first kamaitachi monster lunged fiercely in the direction of the wind.

The subsequent monsters followed closely.

The darkness merged their bodies into one, with only a densely packed oily green tide rapidly spreading upward.

Boom—

A slight explosion sounded.

The first lunging kamaitachi monster’s body abruptly exploded in mid-air, as if squeezed by an invisible giant hand.

Then the second, the third …

Invisible waves quickly spread through the air, and the oily green tide rapidly extinguished.

Mangled corpses fell to the ground, making a wet sticky sound like rotten oranges hitting the ground.

A figure with steady steps broke through the black mist and walked swiftly through the area, with a calm expression, never glancing to the sides.

The figure walked along a downward sloping path, causing countless exotic beasts to stir. But without exception, any beast that approached within ten meters of him exploded without warning.

It was as if there was an invisible and terrifying force field around this person.

No living creature dared approach!

“What level are we at?”

In the darkness, Zhan Hongyu spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

Someone beside her whispered back, “Eighth level.”

No one spoke.

Each member of the Tiger Scorpion Squad had an expression of indescribable shock and numbness.

Their eyes occasionally glanced at the mangled bodies on the ground, their eyelids twitching slightly.

Along the way, following behind Lu Sheng, they hadn’t even had the chance to fight.

Lu Sheng was too powerful.

The might of a top Spiritual Master was fully unleashed.

No matter how many exotic beasts were disturbed, no matter the level of the beasts (though they hadn’t yet encountered any above level seven).

Lu Sheng didn’t need to move a finger; all the beasts around him were twisted to death by spiritual power, turning into something like meat paste.

“Is this the true strength of a Twelve Star General?”

A handsome young man looked at the majestic figure ahead with a complex tone.

“No, it’s even more terrifying than an ordinary Twelve Star General …”

Zhan Hongyu said seriously, “Such powerful spiritual cultivation is not something just anyone can possess.”

The rest of the Tiger Scorpion Squad deeply agreed.

“I really don’t know how Lord Lu trains. Compared to him, I feel like a waste!”

A bald man rubbed his smooth head, depressed, and punched the stone wall beside him.

The middle-aged man next to him patted his shoulder and tersely said, “Same.”

“We originally thought following Lord Lu would earn us merits, but now …” The handsome young man smiled wryly, “We might end up going home empty-handed.”

Lu Sheng was too domineeringly strong, leaving them no chance to shine.

Zhan Hongyu touched her communication wristwatch and said lightly, “Just think of it as accompanying Lord Lu on a tour of the Catacomb. Not everyone in the Ninth War Zone has the honor.”

The others nodded.

Shash—

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade slicing through tough leather came from ahead.

A strange scream burst out, then abruptly stopped.

The Tiger Scorpion Squad exchanged glances and quickly caught up.

Soon, they saw a majestic and handsome young man standing on a slope, calmly wiping the thin bloodstain on his palm with a tissue.

A rather large corpse lay beside him, already split in two.

Blood and organs spilled everywhere.

“A Level 7 beast?!” Zhan Hongyu’s pupils shrank, blurting out.

Instinctively, she took two steps forward and asked, “Sir, are you injured?”

Lu Sheng glanced at her, casually throwing the tissue on the ground, and said lightly, “Do you think that’s possible?”

Zhan Hongyu’s face froze.

The rest of the Tiger Scorpion Squad marveled at the Level 7 beast’s corpse.

They weren’t surprised that Lu Sheng could kill a Level 7 beast.
