Bulwark of Light

Chapter 103 The Long Street of Fog
Night falls.

It's exactly ten o'clock.

At the entrance of Yulan Lane in the old city, a figure slowly stopped.The man was dressed in black, wearing a peaked cap, and walked against the wall of the alley. He walked so fast that he disappeared into the night in a few seconds.

It's the right time.

After Shi Li's figure disappeared, a ray of blazing fire slowly emerged in the night not far away.

With a calm expression, Gu Shen slowly came to the alley of Yulan.

After turning on [Blazing Vision], Shi Li's walking track is very obvious... like fireworks in the dark night, you can see his whereabouts at a glance.

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

This shadow, which symbolizes Shi Li's walking trajectory, twists and turns, sometimes sprints in the alley, sometimes stomps his feet, and there are stalkers following behind him, he is so cautious... he must have a sealed item that monitors the extraordinary aura .

"Shi Li knows that someone is following him?"

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Normal people, who would walk like this?

Could it be Hu Danian's usual investigation that aroused his suspicion?This power attack type is extraordinary, shouldn't be so sharp, right?

In any case, it was the right choice for Hu Danian not to follow up deeply.

Shi Li was already suspicious.

Gu Shen thought for a moment, walked forward slowly, and kept the maximum distance to follow these residual tracks... My own blazing ability is special, and the sensitivity to capture details is unmatched by many high-level spiritual systems, so I am tracking This thing is pretty good.

He is confident that he will not be discovered by Shi Li.

But to be on the safe side, it's better to be on the safe side and not to chase too closely.

……

……

"Ah!"

The moment he walked into the alley, Shi Li sneezed again.

He looked sullen and rubbed his nose vigorously.

What the hell?

The last time I sneezed, I didn't take it seriously... As a result, I was soon pointed at my head with a big gun.

This time, what's the situation again.

Could it be that the Goddess of Fate once again lowered a reminder to herself?
"Is someone... following me?"

After stopping in place, Shi Li pondered for a long time before he thought of such a reasonable explanation... He continued to walk forward, and suddenly stood against the wall, holding his breath, and began to wait.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response at all.

So he continued to move forward without changing his expression, but after a short while, he turned back in the same direction and began to run wildly in the direction he came from.

If someone saw this in action, it might just be amused... but it's actually a pretty good way to heuristically track.

It's a pity that Shi Li got nothing. He even ran hundreds of meters in the direction he came from without seeing a single ghost. The old city at night was already desolate, and he chose the most remote alley. Not even the slightest sound, just a needle drop can be heard in silence.

Shi Li stood suspiciously at the spot where he sneezed, looking around, there were shadows of trees and the sound of leaves whirling.

The intuition of a transcendent rarely makes mistakes.

With the lessons learned from last time, he will be so cautious.

"That being the case, take out the compass... Let's take a look."

Shi Li took out a compass from his pocket... That compass was square and square, the size of a palm, with gold-plated and silver-plated edges, it looked very brand new, not like an old thing.

His fingertips were filled with silver light, which slowly poured into the compass.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The pointer on the compass quickly turned around and finally returned to its original position.

Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

"Is it my... illusion?"

He resumed walking down Magnolia Lane.

Gu Shen, who was in the grass, saw this scene, his back was already wet with cold sweat.

He followed the ground well at first, but suddenly, without warning, Shi Li's breath stagnated, and then this guy turned back like a lunatic and ran wildly, if he hadn't made the correct decision to follow the longest distance at the beginning The decision... I'm afraid it was discovered then.

In the end, he held his breath, retreated quickly, and returned to his hiding place.

What made Gu Shenxin raise his throat... was the compass that Shi Li took out, that sealed artifact that looked very old at first glance, obviously it was written by the Changjiu Foundation, Gu Shen guessed that the compass should have The effect of detecting the extraordinary spiritual power around him... He is ready to pull out the ruler of truth and fight Shi Li head-on.

But... Compass didn't find himself?
really.

Blazing fire is an extremely special existence.

Normal detection methods cannot capture oneself through mental power.

This time.

Gu Shen's tracking progress became much smoother, and Shi Li stopped circling around, presumably he didn't have much time to waste on the road... The journey was extremely fast, and Gu Shen also stepped up a little boldly.

But as he walked, his expression became serious.

"Going further... is Yuandan Street!"

He secretly had a bad premonition in his heart... Finally, Shi Li's back disappeared into the darkness of Yuandan Street.

Surrounded by blazing flames, Gu Shen looked towards the dreaded old street... Ordinary people saw a thin layer of gray fog with their naked eyes, but in his own eyes, it was so thick that it couldn't be dispelled.

"Wait a minute..."

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

Not far from the entrance of Yuandan Street, he saw an overturned motorcycle. It was the vehicle that Hu Danian had brought him over, lying crookedly in the rubbish dump at the entrance of Long Street.

Carefully getting closer, Gu Shen's expression changed suddenly after seeing the scene clearly.

The motorcycle fell over.

There were bloodstains on the side of the road.

Not far from the car, there is still a dry and thin skeleton lying on the sidelines. The flesh and blood have been sucked clean, leaving only a layer of skin, and the face has been destroyed. What is dead cannot die again.

"Damn."

Gu Shen's expression became very ugly, didn't Hu Danian say that he acted very cautiously?

How long has it been?

What is there on that street?
Without hesitation, he immediately began to retreat.

But something happened that made Gu Shen's scalp tingle... He clearly remembered the route he took when he came, but after he returned according to the original route, the surrounding landscape became unfamiliar, and the fog became thicker and thicker.

The vision of the blazing fire began to become blurred, and the visibility dropped suddenly.

He stopped in his tracks, held his breath silently, took a deep breath, kept himself calm, and accepted such a reality.

"I entered Yuandan Street..."

Only when you enter Yuandan Street, can you feel... the fog in the dreams of those old city residents is so solid that you can hardly see your fingers, let alone discerning directions in this fog.

The first thing Gu Shen did was to stop himself.

He lost his sense of direction, and even Blaze, who was best at it, couldn't find the right direction in this thick fog... In this case, it is necessary to reduce wrong attempts as much as possible.

And at this juncture, he didn't dare to easily summon Blazing Fire.

Because at this moment, Shi Li is in Yuandan Street!
Now that the matter has come to this point, it is basically certain... the smog in the old city is the plan of the Changjiu Foundation. The control of this sealed item is in the hands of these lunatics. Who knows how much they can see?
"This is not a dream, but a real world."

A sense of familiarity came to mind.

Gu Shen saw this fog in other people's dreams more than once. At that time, he still couldn't understand the despair of the original owner in the dream. When he was really in the fog, he gradually felt something was wrong...

In the fog of Yuandan Street, my mental power was being consumed all the time.

After being tempered by the Waking of Insects breathing method, my mental strength is still solid now, how long can I last in this thick fog?Once exhausted, will I be the same as those before?
Or... worse.

Thinking back to the corpse next to the motorcycle, Gu Shen's expression became solemn, maybe this is his next fate.

Do not know why.

The more he inhaled the fog that ate away his mental power, the calmer he became, so calm that he could hear every beat of his own heart, as well as a needle drop and a footstep in the silent city in the fog.

Just stood there quietly for 5 minutes.

Not a sound came from the fog.

"After Shi Li entered Yuandan Street, he disappeared..."

The blazing fire has been unable to track his whereabouts.

"If...in this thick fog, he can see...with the level of caution he was walking all the way just now, he must have spotted me."

"He took no action ... I can only guess that he didn't know I was on the street."

"Then... I can only guess that this thick fog is an obscuring vision that doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend."

Gu Shen murmured: "Yuandan Street is full of dilapidated factory buildings, he should have entered one of them, and that factory building should be where the sealed item is located..."

That being the case.

Then you only need to find the place where the "fog" is the strongest, and you will be sure where Shi Li is!
"If I can't get out of Kite Dan Street...then maybe I can try...to destroy the sealed item..."

The idea is crazy.

Shili is at least the fourth-tier assault system.

But... in the fog, he didn't know his existence, and he would most likely relax his vigilance on Yuandan Street.

According to my previous calculation, there is a certain chance of winning with a sneak attack with blazing fire.

If he failed with one blow, he retreated into the thick fog, which was considered a successful escape.

Rather than being wasted and turned into a mummy...it's better to risk your life boldly!
Gu Shen squinted his eyes, and he carefully summoned a ray of blazing fire, which adhered to the position between the eyebrows... The dense mist seemed to stretch out a palm facing each other, covering Gu Shen's open eyes between the eyebrows.

But he can still feel the changes in the fog in different areas.

Slowly groping, Gu Shen moved forward bit by bit, he controlled his steps, trying not to make any movement.

"It's here..."

Gu Shen stopped in front of a thick iron gate, this kind of gate would vibrate when the wind blows, and he didn't dare to touch it at all... With his fiery intuition, he found such an area, about three to four The row of abandoned factory buildings, this is already the smallest area I can determine.

"Shi Li, there is a high probability that it is one of them."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He took a deep breath, ready to move on again.

"Snapped!"

A palm suddenly landed on his shoulder.
