Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!-Chapter 90 Something Deep In The Fog

?Something deep in the fog.

[Ace POV],

The only place I've met a lot of people is at Adara's camp with my classmates. This is the second time I've seen so many people in one place. But, since meeting humans wasn't such a big deal, I returned my focus to the bridge. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Apart from the humans gathered here, this was the most important thing that stood out.

It was obvious that it was here for a reason, but because the fog was even thicker around the bridge, I couldn't see the other side, making everything more mysterious.

"What should we do now, Ace?" Anna asked as she stood beside me with Mia in her arms while Emma looked intently at the bridge with interest in her eyes, and Chris stood silently beside me with a cautious expression on his face.

Seeing this, I spoke up.

"Send a crow clone out to scout what's on the other side of the bridge," I said, pausing before adding, "Be careful. No one knows what is there ", I said.

'There's the fog, and now there's a bridge.'

'I wonder what's truly going on here.'

...

[Third Person POV],

When Ace and his team appeared near the bridge, some of the humans who had been there before took notice and gave them a quick glance of observation.

The expressions of those who even took the time to look back at Ace and his team were clear that they were looking at them out of curiosity rather than extreme caution.

It made sense as anyone who had reached this level in the forest was strong in some way. Everyone here was at least level 20 because the risk of getting to this level in the forest was too great, and if anyone was below level 20, it was either because they were carried here or they got lucky to survive to this extent.

There were even some humans who were like Ace and his team since the pressure emanating from their bodies was comparable to that of a rank 1 specie.

Ace wasn't sure if there was a genuine rank 1 human here, but even if there was, he wouldn't notice since his attention was focused entirely on the crow Anna had sent out to explore the bridge.

It wasn't just them who focused on the crow as everyone who noticed it when it entered the fog surrounding the bridge focused on it as well and when they traced it back to Anna, they gave a deep look as they all waited to see what would happen.

It was clear from this that, even though these people arrived before Ace and his team, no one took the initiative to enter the fog that covered the bridge.

Even with everyone's attention on them, Ace and his team ignored it because their attention was focused on Anna, whose eyes were a bright silver color.

Originally, whenever Anna shared vision with her summon, her pupil turns silver, but ever since her body changed, whenever she shares vision with her summon, her silver eyes shine brightly instead.

"What do you see?" Ace inquired when he noticed Anna still hadn't spoken about her findings after a few seconds.

Anna, who had heard what he had said, finally spoke and replied.

"Nothing," she said.

"Nothing?"

"I can't see anything, it's too foggy," Anna explained as she came to a halt as she was about to exit the vision-sharing state.

"Ah, I see something..." She said, but before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed on the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood and coughing violently.

Ace quickly motioned to Emma to cast a healing spell on Anna lest she dies or her case worsens, as her coughing blood indicated that she was injured.

Anna finally stopped coughing after Emma used a healing spell on her, and her face looked better. However, even after she recovered, she remained silent as a dignified expression appeared on her face.

It wasn't just her as everyone else who noticed that the crows entering the fog had dignified expressions on their faces.

Even without Anna speaking, anyone who saw Anna send the crow out to scout the bridge could connect the dots.

It was clear she saw something she wasn't supposed to see. The question now was, what did she see?

Nobody knew because the person in question never spoke.

For a brief moment, the air became tense.

Only Ace and Emma stood out among the others who wore solemn expressions.

Ace had no expression on his face, whereas Emma was slightly excited.

People who saw the pair only had one thought: "Weirdos." 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Ace, who had no idea he'd been labeled a weirdo by so many people, was currently conversing with Anna in his head.

Ace had grown accustomed to being used as an experimental object for Anna's telepathy skill over the past few days.

At her current level, Anna can only communicate with two people via telepathy over a distance of 20 meters, and anything beyond that is beyond her control.

Anna was currently using telepathy to talk to both Ace and Emma.

"What did you see?" Ace inquired.

"I couldn't see its features very well, but it appeared humanoid," Anna said.

"Do you think it's a zombie?" Emma's voice appeared in their head as she asked a question.

"I'm not sure," Anna replied.

After hearing Anna's response, the three of them fell silent, and no one spoke again.

Though Anna's words were of little use in their current situation, at least they were aware that there was something in the fog deeper down across the bridge.

But this didn't help the situation as anything that could injure Anna without even touching her was undoubtedly dangerous.

What they didn't know was how dangerous it was.

Thinking about this, the three couldn't help but observe the fog covering the bridge.

'Things just got more complicated,' Ace thought.

Not long after Ace had this thought, he noticed that several people were heading in the direction of him and his team.

As Ace calmly watched the people approach them slowly, the air in the surroundings became more tense.
