Chapter Sixteen: Seeing the Sun
The sharp buzzing sound echoed around the lake, repeatedly stimulating the nerves of the three people.
"Uh-huh..."
Although Pan Yue tried his best to cover the mouths of the explorer and Hu Lei, they could not help but howl in pain.
The Silent One's slender figure immediately appeared in the mist, slowly approaching them, while the other White Walker was not in a hurry to show up, but continued to suppress Pan Yue's actions with powerful spiritual power.
"You bastard, you bastard, why don't you move! Stop it quickly... don't come over!"
Although the explorer was so frightened that he screamed, he still stood in front of Pan Yue without hesitation.
A sharp arrow made of ice flew out from his fingertips, but the Silent One raised his hand to block it and smashed it into pieces. Then a yellow arc and crackling lightning flew out of Hu Lei's hand.
The hit on the Silent One caused it to sway slightly, and then it sped up and approached the three of them.
Although Pan Yue was suppressed by the mysterious force and unable to move, his brain was still running crazily.
Why were the explorers and Hu Lei not affected?
Not sure, but there is no other way at this critical moment.
"Stop hitting it... hit me..."
"What?"
"Stop talking nonsense...quickly..."
Pan Yue struggled to speak out the words through her teeth, but her eyes were extremely firm.
"Stop talking nonsense! Do it quickly!" the explorer shouted while hurriedly using ice to delay the Silent One's approach.
Hu Lei couldn't think too much at the moment and could only raise his hands above his head and swing at Pan Yue with all his strength.
A dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and pain and numbness instantly spread throughout Pan Yue's body, but at the same time, the blood in his body that was almost coagulated began to flow again.
He made the right bet.
Dark energy surged in Pan Yue's body again, and at this time the Silent Man's breath was almost spraying on the explorer's face. Pan Yue dragged the explorer behind him and put his hand on the Silent Man's head.
The mute man's whole body was instantly ignited by black flames, his nostrils continued to shrink in pain, and he twisted his body to transform into a spiritual body, but was firmly imprisoned in the real world by Pan Yue.
In just a few seconds, this high-level white ghost who feeds on fear and souls turned into a charred body in extreme panic.
"You brat...who are you...?"
"Let's talk after we get out!"
Pan Yue quickly walked back to the stunned two people and wanted to teleport, but the terrible sense of oppression came over again.
This time the power was even stronger, and the explorer and Hu Lei were also affected. The three of them fell to the ground, invisible pressure coming from above.
The pressure first crushed the chest into a ball, and a sense of suffocation instantly filled the brain. Then the bones and internal organs were crushed bit by bit, and even the eyeballs were about to be squeezed out of their sockets.
At this moment, Pan Yue felt like she was being stepped on by a giant elephant, slowly crushing herself into a puddle of flesh.
Hallucinations... Hallucinations... The astral White Walkers cause physical damage...
He repeatedly reminded himself to stay awake for the last time, struggling to reach into his pocket.
When he was only a few centimeters away from the iron ruler, his palm seemed to have been crushed into pieces and he could no longer move an inch. Despair and helplessness completely occupied all his thoughts.
Sorry, I tried my best...
"Pan Yue, hold on!"
The voice seemed to come from a very far away place. Who was talking to him in the illusion? Pan Yue no longer wanted to think about it, but she still couldn't help but look up.
A tall figure jumped in front of the three people with a stick. As the stick hit the ground, holy light rippled out and sprinkled on the land.
"Don't be afraid, it's all an illusion."
That was Fang Yang's voice, extremely firm and true.
The suffocating sense of oppression was gradually dissipated by the holy light, and Pan Yue's consciousness gradually recovered. Fang Yang was seen standing in front of the three of them and constantly hitting the ground with an iron rod.
"Pan Yue, use the conveyor belt to move us quickly. It's too powerful and I won't be able to hold on for long."
"Ah...you already know?"
"Well, it's not your fault. Let's talk about it when we get back."
As the teleportation bubble enveloped the four people, the city of fog once again fell into deathly silence, with only the holy white light still lingering by the lake.
...
Base, in Fang Yang's room.
After staying in the fog for so long, Pan Yue was not used to the bright light here for a while.
He squinted his eyes and looked around, only to see the explorer and Hu Lei leaning against the wall in shock, while Fang Yang was sitting in front of his desk with a gentle smile and looking at him.
"Tell me about your experience."
Pan Yue hesitated for a moment, and when Fang Yang nodded affirmatively, he told everything about what happened in the Mist City.
"To be able to transport the four of us so far at once, the energy in your body is really not weak."
"I......"
"Ability itself is not good or evil, the difference lies in the person who uses it. As long as you keep a kind heart, black magic can be used to do the right things."
Fang Yang smiled and waved his hand, then turned to look at the explorer.
"Xiao Xu, I haven't grown taller in a few years."
"Don't call me Xiao Xu! Call me explorer!"
"Haha, explorer. If you are involved this time, I won't be able to explain it to Lao Xu if something really happens."
The explorer staggered to Pan Yue and put his arm around his shoulder.
"Humph, young master, I will accompany my good brother through life and death, and it has nothing to do with you old guys."
Fang Yang had long been accustomed to his appearance, so he smiled and sighed before turning to look at Pan Yue, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Oh, yes. Pan Yue, I am no longer that young boy. There will always be new friends to grow up with you."
"Pan...Pan Yue!"
The explorer and Hu Lei exclaimed in unison when they heard the name.
"Ahem." Fang Yang cleared his throat and said seriously, "Although we all know who he is, we can't expect everyone to immediately accept him joining the Sons of Light, so I hope you two can keep this secret for the time being.
Pan Yue, you should also pay attention to it."
Pan Yue was deeply moved when she saw the explorer and Hu Lei agreeing without hesitation. He knew that these three people in this room were likely to be the people he trusted the most in the future.
"Xiao Hu, I'm very sorry about what happened to your team. Just take a good rest at the base for a while."
"Thank you, General Fang Yang! Since we have accepted this mission, we are already prepared to sacrifice. One day I will personally avenge them!"
"You guys go shopping around first, I will arrange for you to stay here soon."
The three of them thanked Fang Yang together and then walked out of the room side by side.
"Let me formally meet you. My name is Explorer."
"Hu Lei."
"Pan Yue."
The bright light of the base gradually dispelled their gloom, and the faces of the three teenagers showed long-lost smiles.
Hu Lei approached the explorer and asked in a low voice: "If I guess correctly, you are the son of Xu Zhenguang, the president of the Peace Dove Association, right?"
"Bah, why are you mentioning this old man? I am me, the explorer! I am not anyone's family member!"
A trace of inferiority suddenly flashed across Hu Lei's face.
"Alas...one of you is the savior, the other is the eldest son, and I am nothing..."
After growing up in the foggy city, Pan Yue no longer had the cowardice that he had when he first came to this world. He patted Hu Lei and comforted him: "You are Hu Lei, our good brother."
Despite this, a deeper fog lingered in Pan Yue's heart, and more and more mysteries confused him.
Why did Hua Tianming set traps for himself again and again? And why did Fang Yang suddenly appear in the foggy city?
What do those manuscripts and the words of the Book of Revelation mean? Why does the Siren at the bottom of the lake hate itself so much?
A series of questions made him realize that his mission was not just as simple as waiting for the opportunity to return to the past. There must be a long road waiting for him before that.
