My Endless Life

Chapter 158 Trapped in the Fog

However, this is just Li Qi's guess. Whether the way Zhuguang will make relics requires relics or not, he needs to go and see it himself.

Before that, Li Qi can play with the [Surprise Treasure Box] left by the survivors.

Li Qi fiddled with the Surprise Treasure Box, trying to figure out something from it.

The angel next to him couldn't help but wonder:

"With me by your side, you don't seem to need these things?"

"I don't trust you."

Li Qi told the truth, not giving the angel any face at all.

"..."

The angel was silent, and Li Qi continued:

"You have concealed a lot of things from me. I now doubt your real purpose of staying with me. If it weren't for the good things you did give me..." Li Qi raised his left hand: "...I would have driven you away long ago."

Li Qi called the series of knowledge he is pursuing and the power he has mastered alchemy.

Whether it is magic or anything else, it is just a derivative of alchemy.

Li Qi himself can also be called an alchemist.

The core principle of alchemists is equal exchange, and Li Qi also pays attention to transactions with others.

You have to pay for what you get.

Otherwise, one day in the future, what you get will be lost in another way.

Li Qi firmly believes this, so after estimating the value of the left hand given to him by the angel, he let the angel stay with him.

But this does not mean that he trusts the angel.

On the contrary, he is extremely wary of the angel, and has never trusted this guy who speaks without knowing whether it is true or false from the beginning.

Although after receiving the inheritance of the creator from Freya to Li Qi, Li Qi has confirmed part of the truth in the angel's words.

For example, the original five relics, such as the original relics are indeed not made of life or something.

But there are more things that the angel did not say, or lied.

For example, the angel never said why she wanted to suck Li Qi into her stomach as soon as they met.

And, according to the information left by Freya, the angel did not have the instruction to "evolve all mankind".

At this point, the angel lied.

So Li Qi didn't believe her. A man-made creature that could lie could no longer be regarded as a man-made creature. It should be regarded as another special life.

However, it is also possible that the information left by Freya was wrong, and the angel said the truth.

But... instead of trying hard to find the truth, it is easier and more convenient to doubt everything directly.

Li Qi didn't have so much free time to pursue the truth.

"You are very cautious..."

After knowing Li Qi's attitude, the angel looked a little speechless.

Li Qi chuckled: "If not, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed by you a long time ago. You know, this hand is given by you."

Li Qi waved his left hand again.

"...Okay."

The angel exhaled lightly, walked outside, and said: "I'll go see those survivors who have not evolved yet."

"Don't 'swallow' them."

"...I won't."

The angel responded and left the temporary tent.

Li Qi turned his mind to the surprise treasure chest and began to study the working method of this relic.

After this trip to the City of Chaos, Li Qi's Qi has improved a little. Although it is still far from level three, it can still support him to perform analysis many times.

Analysis, an alchemy magic, after performing analysis on an object, as long as it is the information remembered in one's head, the analysis will automatically analyze the material composition of the object.

So this is a magic that relies heavily on the knowledge of the caster.

Li Qi didn't know much about the materials in this world, and his magic level was not yet level two at the time, so he couldn't perform analysis, so he only had a vague understanding of the material composition of many relics.

However, with the knowledge passed down by Freya, Li Qi can now easily analyze the material composition of most relics in this world.

For example, the surprise treasure chest at the moment.

"Human tissue, some fog zone materials... and a material whose name I don't know? Is this... bone?"

Li Qi analyzed the structure inside the surprise treasure chest, and on the other side began to imitate the surprise treasure chest.

Knowing the materials and structure, Li Qi can try to imitate it.

Regardless of whether it can be copied, this process of copying can improve Li Qi's alchemy experience and allow him to make other things more smoothly.

Li Qi, who got a new toy, spent his time on the road while studying the surprise treasure chest.

More than a month later, Li Qi and his party came to the edge of the fog sea. The outside world is the border city of the current safe zone.

Its name is Green Shade City.

"Finally arrived, I don't know if Maru and the others are back."

Looking at the beautiful city covered with green shades across the fog area, Carol breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself.

Li Qi looked up at the safe zone in front of him and was about to leave with Carol.

But the angel stopped him:

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"To be conservative, let a survivor leave the fog area first."

The angel made a suggestion to Li Qi.

Li Qi's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought of something, looking at the hundreds of people behind him.

The survivors have never left the fog area since entering the fog area.

They have been reincarnated countless times, and the amount of "fog" accumulated in their bodies is beyond imagination.

It's just because they haven't experienced the 'fog backlash' yet, so they can't master 'qi'.

And now, they are about to leave the fog area.

If they also have the theory of fog backlash, then with the accumulation of thick fog in their bodies, once they leave the fog area, this backlash will be fatal to them.

Therefore, in order to confirm whether they would withstand the backlash of the fog, Li Qi needed to find someone to conduct the experiment.

After staring at the group of survivors in front of him for a long time, Li Qi called out the name of the female guard:

"Ai Lei."

"king……"

The female guard in robes knelt on one knee beside Li Qi, waiting for orders.

Li Qi said: "Find someone... to test whether you can leave the fog area."

"Can anyone do it?"

"Try to be voluntary, after all... according to our speculation, you may die if you leave the fog area."

Li Qi said without any secret.

The female guard Ai Lei remained silent for a while, turned to look at the surviving people, and repeated Li Qi's words to them.

What was a little surprising, but not too surprising, was that after the survivors learned about this, nearly half of them raised their hands, wanting to become the 'experimental subjects' who left the fog zone.

Ailei observed carefully and finally selected an old man who looked very old and seemed like he wouldn't live long.

At the same time, for comparison, Ailei selected a pair of young people, one boy and one girl, in their prime, to test whether the survivors could survive outside the fog zone.

After the selection was over, Ai Lei watched the three people leave the fog area after praying for them, praying in her heart for the safety of these three people.

Ailei looked at all this with great expectation, but unfortunately... the result was not as expected.

At first, after the old man left the foggy area, he had no special reaction. It was as if he just walked out of the foggy area into the sunshine.

Being illuminated by the sun, he squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

But not long after, something unexpected happened.

"Ah...ahhh!!!"

The old man enjoying the sunshine suddenly let out a painful cry.

Under the gaze of everyone, his body was deforming, and the relics around him suddenly merged and transformed with him. Gradually, some of the characteristics of the relics he held appeared on his body, and green blood like paint flowed out of his body.

The elderly are not alone.

The same goes for the young man and woman behind him.

Their bodies also undergo changes, and the relics around them merge with them, making them look even more bizarre.

Because of their youth, the roars of the young men and women were louder than those of the old men, but they also looked more painful. The miserable screams were unbearable to watch.

In less than a minute, the three people who left the fog area had all turned into strange fog beasts whose bodies were soaked in green!

"...!!"

Looking at the three people who had turned into monsters outside the fog area, Ai Lei's eyes widened, and her eyes became dark and desperate.

The reason why Ailei showed such an expression was simple, because she knew that the survivors had lost hope of living in the safe zone.

Li Qi watched this scene silently, and finally sighed, raised his left hand, and used silk thread to end the life of the survivor who had turned into a monster.

"It seems that the survivors cannot leave the fog area..."

Li Qi made a judgment.

It would be okay if it was just the backlash of the fog. After the Kexi people left the fog area, they suffered from something more than just the backlash of the fog.

The companion creature in their body, the relic that represents their emotions and will, will corrode their body and turn them into monsters.

The higher the level of the relic you hold, the higher the threat when it turns into a monster.

If all the survivors were like this, then they would never leave the fog area.

Because once you leave the fog area, it means that more than 700 monsters will enter the safe area.

You must know that there are still people among them who hold first- and second-level relics. If they all turned into monsters, they would probably be more difficult to deal with than the fog beasts in the fourth-level area.

"Aunt Carol, I'm afraid we can't leave."

When he realized this, Li Qi turned to Carol and said, "I will stay here and help them establish a new safe zone in the fog area. On the other side of the kingdom... I leave it to you."

"You want to stay here with them?"

Carol asked with a frown.

Li Qi nodded: "This is a deal between me and Freya. Until the deal is completed, I will be their king and I will be responsible for their safety."

Since the survivors could not leave the fog area, Li Qi found a way to help them build a safe zone in the first layer of fog area.

Compared to the third floor, the fog area on the first floor is relatively safe. As long as a transaction can be established with the kingdom, there should be no problem in establishing a small gathering place on the first floor.

After that, it depends on the reaction from the Kingdom.

And this requires Carol's help.

After all, Carol is also a member of the exploration team, a fog-level fog explorer close to the black fog. If she speaks out, the kingdom will probably seriously consider it.
