The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 224 - 223 Hidden Mist Village

"The darkness before my eyes is not true darkness, what you call white, what is that white..."

Lin Yun had begun to sing, casually stroking Bai Jiaojiao’s soft hair.

Life was already hard enough, it was good to have the White-haired Dragon Lady in his arms for some comfort.

"Even a monster coming at me now, to give me a chance to stretch my limbs would be nice!"

The Spiritual Liquid within Lin Yun’s body had fully recovered, its concentration even stronger than before by a fraction.

This was all thanks to Xiao Qing’s efforts.

Lin Yun let her rest for now, deciding to reward her after she woke up.

Right now, all Lin Yun wanted to do was stir up some trouble; otherwise, he was just too bored.

"I seem to have a particularly hard time calming my mind and composing myself."

After sitting idly for such a long time and feeling his own restlessness, Lin Yun realized that he was somewhat different from other cultivators.

Green Snake could just sit there, silent and unfazed, and by all accounts, cultivators should be able to endure solitude and withstand emptiness, but Lin Yun was different.

He really couldn’t stay idle; he could stay holed up in the mountain before only because he could find things to do for himself, whether it was cultivating or reading.

And now, he definitely couldn’t concentrate on cultivating, revealing this weakness.

"Could it be that while having extraordinary physical abilities, it also brings some corresponding side effects, like bloodthirstiness or lechery?"

Lin Yun had found a theoretical basis for his philandering — no, it wasn’t his fault, it was all this body’s doing.

All of this was purely self-entertainment; he had gotten bored enough to start doodling circles on the ground.

"Is there anyone who can come over?"

Lin Yun wailed in his heart and suddenly, he heard a series of hurried footsteps.

So someone really was coming?

The footsteps sounded a bit like those of a human, very panicked and rushed as if running for their life.

Green Snake also quickly reacted; she stood up and stuck out her tongue.

It was a human tongue, not forked, but the action still felt odd to Lin Yun.

"There’s a person approaching from the southeast, with a very weak presence."

Xiao Qing shared the information she had sensed with Lin Yun.

Divine Sense was restricted in the Great Mist, but her instincts were able to function much better.

Lin Yun immediately gave her a thumbs-up on the spot.

This tongue was quite impressive, befitting of a snake demon.

It’s a person, and very weak — these two pieces of information were important.

At this point, Lin Yun had two choices: to make contact or to avoid it.

If he hid well, with such heavy mist, it was likely that the person would run right past him without knowing anyone was there.

To avoid contact would naturally mean no risk, but with such dense mist, it would be a pity to miss the rare opportunity to meet someone.

As for danger...

It was something that had to be faced eventually.

Lin Yun chose to make contact with the other party. He released the weakest Thunderbolt Spell, and sure enough, the person who was originally running in another direction heard the sound and turned to run towards Lin Yun. It didn’t take long for a young man to run over, panting heavily.

Judging by his appearance, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and looked quite immature.

"Save me, a Mist Beast is chasing me!"

"Who are you?"

Lin Yun took a step back. By then, Bai Jiaojiao had also come to, a little groggy. She glanced at the young man, probably felt no danger, and hooked her arms around Lin Yun’s neck again, hanging onto him.

The young man took a look at Lin Yun’s clothes, which were somewhat different from his, and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Are you an outsider? Where did you come from?"

The young man excitedly approached Lin Yun. Lin Yun stepped back half a step and said, "I think it would be better if we kept a distance while talking."

"Talking?"

It was only then that the young man realized and said, "This is no time for talking, run! The Mist Beasts will be here any moment."

"What is a Mist Beast?"

Lin Yun had his suspicions, but still played dumb and asked.

"Mist Beasts are monsters that can move freely in the Great Mist. They each possess special abilities; some are impervious to swords and guns, spells can hardly hurt them, some are as swift as shadows, unpredictable. If one doesn’t have strong cultivation level, seeing a Mist Beast almost always means certain death."

Indeed, that gorilla must have been a Mist Beast.

Defeating a Mist Beast could yield items, with a hundred percent drop rate at the moment. Lin Yun wouldn’t mind grinding a few more waves of these creatures. Although challenging, they weren’t invincible.

With him and Xiao Qing, it should be no problem.

As for Bai Jiaojiao...

Who would want such a cutie to engage in fighting and killing?

It’s enough for her to just be adorable.

"Do you know where this is? And who are you?"

"I’m a villager from Hidden Mist Village. My name is Chu Han. Are you not running because you’re confident you can defeat the Mist Beasts?"

The young man gave his name and, seeing that Lin Yun wasn’t in a hurry to run, felt more at ease. Noticing Lin Yun’s wariness, he didn’t approach rashly and kept a distance as they talked.

"Hidden Mist Village..."

Lin Yun had never heard of this place. It was normal not to know the name of a village in such a big world, but if it was called Hidden Mist Village, it was obviously related to the Great Mist. It seemed that this encounter was the right one.

However, now wasn’t really the time to talk. The mist churned, and what Lin Yun saw first were two big red lanterns. Only when he glimpsed the whole picture did he realize it was a giant serpent, shaped like a cobra but several times larger. Standing erect, it was taller than the surrounding trees, not to mention the part of its body still on the ground.

Lin Yun had already experienced the ferocity of the creatures here the night before. His usually invincible fire had lost its miraculous effect here, and the giant serpent in front of them was indeed terrifying.

Chu Han’s legs went soft from fear, and Lin Yun, also stunned, said, "Was this the thing chasing you just now?"

"No, what was chasing me was a bear."

Lin Yun: "..."

No more talking, time to slip away!

Lin Yun picked up Bai Jiaojiao and sprinted a hundred meters. The giant serpent, initially targeting Chu Han, smelled Lin Yun’s scent and immediately started charging at him like mad.

Snakes, although they lack feet, can move very fast when they need to.

Lin Yun was already fast, but the giant serpent managed to keep up with him, plowing through the forest, knocking down countless trees.

Hey, what species are those trees anyway?

Lin Yun was actually wondering this while escaping.

The Misty Forest was full of trees, which grew tall and straight, with leaves only at the top. Lin Yun’s vision, obscured by the mist, couldn’t make out the details clearly.

Thinking about it now, this place really was eerily strange.

Chu Han was left behind just like that, still taking a moment to process what had happened.

Ah, so... I’m safe?

But then, it would be a pity to let an outsider, whom he had finally met, just die at the jaws of a Mist Beast, wouldn’t it?

With gritted teeth, Chu Han followed the trail left by the giant serpent...
