Chapter 395 The World of Mist
thump—
Just as Lin Fan was inwardly mocking him, a dull thud suddenly came from outside the light screen.
The next moment, the light shield covering the entire base trembled violently, as if it had been hit by something.
A visible ripple spread across the surface of the light curtain.
The survivors in the base gasped in surprise, their hearts leaping into their throats once again.
"Thump!!!"
"Thump!!! Thump!!!"
As the first impact rang out, a series of impacts followed.
And each time it became more intense and heavier than the last.
The entire light shield began to flicker erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment.
"What...what is that?"
"Wow, it's so big!!!"
"That monster isn't going to smash the light barrier, is it?"
Just then, the panicked people seemed to discover something terrifying and stared in horror at the outside of the light screen.
Lin Fan also began to observe carefully.
Soon, he saw enormous, unimaginably large silhouettes slowly writhing within the gray mist outside the light screen.
Some grotesque limbs occasionally slapped against the light screen.
Compared to the panicked crowd, Noah's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"How...how can there be so many predators? How can there be so many???"
At the same time, the "newcomers" scattered around also looked at each other in disbelief, seeing unprecedented fear in each other's eyes.
This is completely different from the dark invasion they remember!
Although the gloomy invasion in their memories also brings forth the Devourers, encountering one within the gray fog is an extremely rare occurrence.
As long as the body and soul are not completely eroded by the gray fog, its destructive power is actually very low.
And now...
The gray fog was filled with predators, which forced them to reassess the terrifying nature of the fog before them.
At the same time, they also began to worry.
There are concerns about whether the light screen can withstand the strain.
Just as Noah said before, the sapling was still very young and not enough to support the mother's energy transmission...
But now.
If this base is destroyed, the sapling that served as the medium will probably not survive either.
By then, their entire race will probably never have another chance to develop again.
"Alright."
Lin Fan was unaware of Noah and the others' thoughts. He glanced impatiently at the shaky light screen and then at the enormous, indistinct black shadows outside.
"So the mothers you all worship aren't so great after all!"
He cracked his neck, making a snapping sound, and his face showed an expression that no one had ever seen before—a mixture of annoyance and excitement.
"It seems I'll have to take action myself."
To be honest, I've never believed in God or fate.
"I only believe in my own power."
Having said that, under the incredulous and shocked gazes of everyone, he resolutely walked towards the isolated fog.
……
"Mr. Lin! No!"
"Lin Fan! Come back! It's too dangerous outside!"
Miller and Helen exclaimed in surprise at the same time, trying to pull him back.
But as soon as they moved, they were pushed back by an invisible aura and staggered back a few steps.
Lin Fan did not turn around.
He simply raised his hand and waved it casually.
"Don't worry, I'm much more reliable than their so-called mother."
His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable command.
"Miller, organize the men and get everyone evacuated to the basement..."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"And you, Helen, I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Having said that, he stepped out of the light screen without hesitation.
That layer of milky white light, as gentle as water ripples, could stop the gray fog and the monsters within it, but it could not stop Lin Fan's steps.
"Mr. Lin..."
Noah's voice sounded behind him, his tone extremely complex.
There was shock, there was worry, but more than anything, there was a sense of anticipation after risking everything.
"You...you really want to go in?"
"What else? You and your people go in? Perfect, I also want to see how you fight..."
Lin Fan turned his head and glanced at him.
These words left Noah speechless, but after a moment, he still spoke.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, our race is an intelligent race, and we have no talent for combat."
"cut!"
Hearing Noah's answer, Lin Fan's disdain deepened.
"Then I'll show you what true 'expelling darkness' really means."
Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward without any further hesitation.
There were no obstacles.
His body seemed to pass through a curtain of water, merging seamlessly into the light curtain, and then... disappeared into the dense gray on the other side.
Inside the light screen, everyone held their breath.
Hundreds of eyes were fixed on the spot where Lin Fan disappeared, trying to find his figure in the gray fog.
but……
They could only see the churning mist outside the light screen; they couldn't see Lin Fan's shadow at all.
It was as if he had just stepped into not a fog, but the entrance to another world.
"It...it's gone?!"
A young guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Although the people around did not speak, their eyes all showed a look of despair.
Noah clenched his fists tightly, his palms sweating profusely.
He knew Lin Fan was very strong, and he also knew that Lin Fan had some unknown methods, but even so, he couldn't help but worry.
……
Meanwhile, outside the light curtain.
The moment Lin Fan stepped into the gray fog, he felt as if the whole world had changed.
The sound disappeared.
The light disappeared.
The temperature disappeared.
Even the tactile sensation of airflow has disappeared.
He felt as if he had instantly sunk into a cotton wool from which he could see nothing.
The endless gray surroundings and visibility of less than half a meter, with no reference points in any direction, instantly disorient you.
However, just as he stood there, observing his surroundings...
Suddenly, a sense of oppression and deathly stillness emanating from the depths of his soul surged towards him.
This feeling was as if it were trying to strip him of his five senses and erode his consciousness.
"Tsk, this is really weird."
Feeling a mix of negative emotions, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
These negative emotions, though they can be described as terrifying.
However, compared to someone like Lin Fan, who often communicates with the freakish Da Wu, these negative emotions are nothing at all.
"Hiss—"
Just then, a strange, shrill sound exploded in his mind.
Immediately afterward, he noticed a huge shadow rushing toward him from the thick fog on his left at an astonishing speed!
Lin Fan didn't even bother to turn his head.
"Click—"
Familiar black scales instantly spread from his left arm, transforming into a ferocious claw, which he casually swung to the side.
There was no earth-shattering noise, only a faint, insignificant sound like cloth being torn.
The enormous shadow, upon contact with the black scales and claws, burst open silently from the middle like a punctured bubble, turning into two lighter wisps of gray mist that vanished without a trace.
Instant kill?
But I didn't see what the other person looked like!
