11 Land of Fog

[System prompt: Analyzing the ancient text, comparing the rumors. Please hold on!]

[System prompt: Analyzing the differences between the two places. Calculating according to the ancient text…]

Although he had gathered a lot of information in the tavern today, not many of them were useful.

Edward could not help but worry if the system could analyze the outcome.

[System prompt: Analysis completed. According to the system analysis, the compatibility between Moon Lake and the mysterious ruins is 23%.]

[The compatibility between the Land of Fog and the mysterious ruins: 76%]

[The results of this analysis are based on the mysterious fluctuations near Moon Lake and the location of the Land of Fog!]

Edward's worried heart finally relaxed after the results were out. The result was obvious now, right?

"Let's go. Let's head south!" Edward said calmly.

The five knights and a young maid who was still confused began to open a path towards the Land of Fog in the south.

Although the five knights were curious about what Edward was looking for, they knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Just as they were about to advance, Edward suddenly looked towards the forest.

His snake pupils saw something!

"Stop!"

The knights immediately stopped waving their swords and looked in the direction Edward was pointing at.

In Edward's eyes, a giant reptile was charging towards him from the tree.

Soon, a green python head appeared in front of everyone.

The knights beside him widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at the calm Young Master Edward.

The same thing happened with the robbers last time, and also with the python this time.

Edward was the first to discover the enemy!

But after the shock, the five knights quickly stood in front of Edward and shouted, "Young Master Edward, be careful!"

Although it was just a poisonous python, as a knight, they had to be careful of all creatures that were dangerous to their master!

"You guys retreat first, I'll deal with it this time!"

Edward calmly walked towards the knights who looked as though they were facing a formidable enemy.

He could use this python to test the power of his bloodline!

On his white neck, a black mist emerged from the snake-like pattern's black wings.

It was the pressure that came from the depths of his bloodline, the natural intimidation of the higher existence.

At this moment, this pressure brought along the curse power in his body.

A wisp of black mist separated from his neck and invaded the python's body in a place no one could see.

In the blink of an eye, the green python felt the pressure from the depths of its bloodline.

It was about to launch an attack, but it instantly withdrew and slowly lowered its head to retreat into the forest.

This was the power of bloodline suppression. It could be said that in this forest, as long as he released his aura, almost no animals would attack Edward and his party.

But if he were to encounter a bloodline stronger than the Curse Snake that Edward had absorbed, similarly, he would be suppressed.

After the python left under the surprised gazes of the knights and maids, they looked at Edward with even more admiration!

Nobody knew what happened to the python, but Edward knew.

There was only one outcome for the python that was invaded by the black mist!

It was assimilated by the curse and turned into a pile of white bones.

The entire Golin Mountain Range was simply too large. When they arrived at the southern side of the mountain range, the sky had already turned dark.

Along the way, the beasts felt the oppression from their bloodlines and retreated frantically.

Even without the harassment from the wild beasts, it still took about seven hours to reach the approximate destination given by the system.

In front of them was still an endless sea of forest. Thick green vines crawled all over the tree trunks.

This was no different from the scenery they saw on the way here.

Edward built a bonfire beside a small stream and prepared to rest and replenish his strength.

The youngest maid did not have the stamina of a monster like the knights. Alicia was the most tired one.

At that moment, she was sitting on a rock, preparing dinner for everyone.

There were noodles and condiments bought from the Lawless Land, and grass carp that the knights had caught from the stream.

While he was resting, Edward opened the system interface.

[System prompt: Analyzing the mysterious fluctuations nearby. According to the host's location, the entrance to the Land of Fog is 4,800 meters south.]

Along the way, the closer they got to the south, the fewer wild beasts there were.

With the bloodline suppression, Edward could clearly sense it.

Just like now, there were no wild beasts around.

Perhaps that strange creature had driven the wild beasts in the direction of the Lawless Land?

Edward recalled the rumors he had heard yesterday.

"System, conduct a comprehensive survey of the terrain at the intersection of the Land of Fog in the distance. Create a three-dimensional model!"

[System prompt: Scanning the terrain… discovering a mysterious fluctuation in the distance. Surveying the terrain… creating a three-dimensional model…]

A 3D model plain constructed by the system appeared before Edward's eyes. It was different from the forests he had seen along the way—it was plain without any trees.

In the plains, there was a vortex shrouded in fog.

A smile appeared on Edward's handsome face. He had finally found the rumored Land of Fog.

On the other side of the Golin Mountain Range.

This was a round lake with some algae floating on it, but the water was very clear!

In the middle of the lake, a huge creature was swimming in it, causing waves.

This was the target of the beast tide!

At that moment, the hunting team led by Karl was rushing over.

The lowest ranked warrior in this team was at the silver rank, so their speed was very fast.

The elderly Karl was wearing a black robe and running to the front line of the army.

Before this, no one would have thought that such an old man would actually be a noble Sky Knight!

"Mr. Karl, we are going that way this time. The mountain range here is so huge. That monster is also moving non-stop. We can't find its location now!"

Karl glanced at the speaker and unhurriedly took out a spinning needle from his black robe.

While everyone was still confused, a weird smile appeared on Karl's dry face.

"With this thing, where can it run to?"

At this moment, the spinning needle suddenly stopped and pointed towards a certain direction in the mountain range!

"Let's go. Those who participate in this hunt will receive the 600 gold coins we offer!" Karl smiled sinisterly. "So, let's give it our all!"
