289 Chapter 289 “Mistake“
When Jiu Wei had just thought so, he saw Li Shi Ying activate her new move ’White Mist’.
White...mist...?
!!!
"Wait miss stop!" Jiu Wei just realized the hidden danger that lurked around their group when Li Shi Ying had just activated her talisman.
She would use it to cover the eyes of Huo Zhuangli and his men so that they could make use of this chance to run away while Huo Zhuangli and his group would be lost in the mist she created.
Li Shi Ying had created the thick mist when she heard Jiu Weis warning.
"...huh?" Li Shi Ying turned her heard towards Jiu Wei who was marching his mount at a rapid speed in her direction when she suddenly saw something beyond her expectations.
When the mist she created covered Huo Zhuanglis group, the next second she saw colorful thin mist mix in and then....
In just less than a second...
UAAAKHHHHH!
She heard a scream resound from Huo Zhuanglis group followed by the silhouette of Huo Zhuanglis men who suddenly fell down to the ground one by one.
!!!
"What happened?" Li Shi Ying immediately asked Jiu Wei who had arrived next to her with a panicked face.
The white mist that she had created, even though it’s thick, shouldn’t be able to kill someone. It was only a method used for escaping by covering the enemys sight with thick white mist.
But then she suddenly heard the scream of death from Huo Zhuanglis group and one by one, the men in Huo Zhuanglis group fell to the ground.
"Mistress I just saw thin colorful mist around this area. The mist isn’t poisonous at all so it’s safe but when mistress made a new kind of mist which is this white mist, the colorful mist, and the white mist mixed in with each other and created a new reaction."
Jiu Wei wiped his forehead as he patiently explained this knowledge about chemistry he barely knew through his experience as a pharmacist.
"So it means..?" Li Shi Ying suddenly had a bad feeling about what Jiu Wei would say next.
And....she was right!
"It means the mist has now become a very thick poisonous mist. It’s called poisonous fog now...not only that, the fog even spread so fast. We are in danger mistress
Jiu Wei pointed his finger to the thick poisonous fog which slowly devoured Huo Zhuangli group, making even Huo Zhuangli die instantly along with Huo Baili.
The people she just met and who were living breathing people alive, in no second had died from the poisonous fog without any meaningful resistance.
BATHUMP!
Li Shi Yings heart leaped to her throat when she saw how those people immediately died.
T-this....she didn’t mean to create a dangerous fog for them...
This was a mistake!
B-but she already put her own group in danger....
Li Shi Ying was feeling guilty as well as fear. She was scared that her mistake would bring harm to her people, just like now.
When Li Shi Ying was blaming herself, Chen suddenly tapped her shoulder with a calm smile on his face.
"Miss! Don’t worry it’s not your fault. Don’t make a face like that okay?" Chen pinched Li Shi Yings cheek to make her at least feel more energetic.
The bunny he knew was someone who always had confidence even though she was in a dire situation. A weak bunny but at the same time the strongest bunny he ever knew.
He didn’t want to see his bunnys face like this. It didn’t suit her. A smile would always be the best for his little bunny.
Li Shi Yings heart suddenly felt lighter with Chens encouragement.
Yeah. Why did she have to dwell in this negative feeling? That wouldn’t change the fact that she had made a mistake. What she had to do now....is to find a way to survive through this poisonous mist.
The white mist she created can last for an hour as she intended to use it to make her group escape for a long time.
Now...it backfired to her group huh 😑 It can’t be helped. She had to ask Jiu Wei for advice before the fog caught up to them. The speed of the fogs disperse was quite rapid.
"Jiu Wei what should we do? The fog will catch up to us in less than a minute" Li Shi Ying Inquired Jiu Wei as the group kept their pace for any possible solution to their current predicament.
"Actually, we can use fire to heat up the fog but I’m afraid there might be a flammable material inside the fog. If we accidentally use fire and touched it...then it would explode and we will immediately die within the explosion"
Jiu Wei looked behind at the colorful fog ’chasing’ after them with a frown on his handsome face.
This fog was truly troublesome. It spread throughout the forest at an alarming speed. They can’t successfully escape with their current speed anymore. Sooner or later the fog will catch up and envelop them inside. Then, if that happens...it meant game over for them.
"So...what do we do?" Li Shi Ying grit her teeth as she herself also tried to find a way to survive this poisonous fog that was chasing behind them.
There has to be a way to survive!
