Shi Mu was exhilarated. He took out a white bottle from his bosom-pocket, and removed its cork. Then, he swung the bottle above the black fog that was being emitted out of the magic formula.

A ‘whiz’ sound was heard.

A black fluid flowed out of the bottle, and dripped into the black fog. Then, it disappeared.

There was a loud ‘rumbling’ sound as the black fluid disappeared into the flowing grayish-black fog. Then, the fog started to swirl in the air under the influence of a strange force. It transformed into a grey vapor vortex; it was ten feet wide.
