"Is there no other way?"
As he desperately pondered, a faint white mist appeared before his eyes.
At the same time, terrifying roars echoed in his ears, blanking his mind.
Boom!
A giant claw slammed down, causing the entire forest to tremble.
...
"The habitable area is getting smaller and smaller!"
Chen Shu's expression was solemn. He had witnessed the forbidden mist twice more during this period.
However, the forbidden mist seemed to be pursuing something and didn't have time to deal with him.
He guessed it was because of the system potion, and that Lin Ka, who carried the scent of the lure potion, was likely already gone...
"Should I return to the Star Sea directly?"
He still had a large bottle of teleportation potion left, and his eyes showed hesitation.
He had tested it before, and the amount of potion needed to return to the Star Sea was quite large, possibly due to the great distance or the obstruction of the ruins' rules.
"Chen Shu?"
At this moment, Andre, riding his contracted spirit, spotted Chen Shu from afar.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly startled. Before he could speak, Andre had already spoken first.
"Have you seen the white mist in the forest?"
Andre's expression was solemn as he said, "My contracted spirit informed me that there is a great crisis within."
"Of course."
Chen Shu sighed and said slowly, "That is the spatial forbidden mist!"
"Forbid... Forbidden mist?!"
Andre's expression shook violently, as if he couldn't believe it. He exclaimed:
"The problem is, this is a ruin!"
"I don't know either."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Let's focus on survival."
"Can we voluntarily give up the level and return?"
Andre asked, having no more aspirations for this level.
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "It's useless, the rules of the ruins have been subverted."
"..."
Andre's expression was grim. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen.
He had only come for the trial...
As the two were conversing, Chen Shu's body trembled. He saw the faint white mist appearing in the distance again.
"Time to run!"
Without hesitation, he sat on Xiao Huang's head again.
"Brother Bandit, wait for me!"
Andre quickly shouted, choosing to flee with Chen Shu.
He knew Chen Shu well. Although the other party was good at courting death, he was even better at survival.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would have been finished long ago...
"Get on my contracted spirit!"
Chen Shu pondered for a moment, then turned his head and spoke.
His three contracted spirits had recovered to Silver attribute, which was much stronger than Andre's contracted spirit. The other party might not be able to keep up with his speed.
"Thank you..."
Andre was overjoyed. He quickly recalled his contracted spirit and ran happily onto the slime's head.
"Gooey! Gooey!"
The two fled into the distance, trying to stay away from the spatial forbidden mist.
It wasn't just them; other beast tamers had also sensed the crisis.
For a time, the original trial level had changed its flavor.
Everyone was fleeing, neglecting to hunt the special creatures in the forest.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
The habitable area within the forest became smaller and smaller, with the surrounding area being enclosed by the spatial forbidden mist.
The surviving beast tamers had gathered together, with only twelve people remaining in total.
Except for Karl, who was lucky enough to be eliminated by a nuclear bomb immediately, the other seven people were probably in dire straits.
"Chen Shu, did you cause this mist?!"
A beast tamer said fiercely, his eyes full of malice.
Due to an oversight, his contracted spirit was swallowed by the forbidden mist, and he had lost all contact.
"Idiot!"
Chen Shu glanced at him. Didn't he see that I was also fleeing for my life...
"This is spatial forbidden mist, it has nothing to do with him."
At this moment, Joanna stepped forward, her expression also a little flustered.
She had a high status and naturally understood the forbidden mist.
"Forbidden mist?!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Someone questioned, "Isn't the forbidden mist supposed to be stationary?"
"There might have been some change."
Joanna also didn't understand the specific situation and couldn't find the reason.
Everyone fell silent, not daring to ask further. The reason wasn't important to them.
The most pressing issue now was how to get out of this situation unscathed.
The area they could currently move in was only within a five-kilometer radius.
It sounded like a lot, but the speed of the forbidden mist was constantly increasing.
Joanna sighed and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will be surrounded by the forbidden mist tomorrow."
Although her face was flustered, she showed no fear, clearly having means of survival.
At this moment, someone looked towards Chen Shu, wanting to grasp the only straw of hope.
Although the forbidden mist was abnormal, the Bandit in front of them seemed even more abnormal.
"Big shot Bandit, do you have any ideas?"
"Do you really think I'm omnipotent..."
Chen Shu smiled and shook his head, saying, "If I could run, I would have left already."
Although he had teleportation potions, the quantity was not enough to save others. In the current situation, self-preservation was naturally the priority.
As time passed, the sky darkened, and everyone's hearts sank.
It seemed that there was no hope left.
But when the time reached midnight, the ruins finally changed!
The time for the 'Last Survivor' shrinking circle had arrived!
At the edge of the forest, the mist that filled the sky gradually spread. Although it was mist, there was still starlight within it.
Clearly, this was the white mist used by the ruins to eliminate contestants!
The white mist was not slow. It spread towards the forest, and almost as soon as it reached the edge, it touched the spatial forbidden mist.
The spatial forbidden mist covered the entire forest, so it couldn't avoid it, nor was it afraid of the ruins.
Boom!
The two white mists collided, actually emitting bursts of rumbling sounds.
At the same time, the star sea within the ruins suddenly trembled.
The star giants at the edge turned their heads, looked into the distance, and immediately locked onto the forbidden mist inside.
It hadn't expected that the other party had invaded so silently.
The star giant's body dissolved, turning into countless starlight, and burrowed into the star sea.
Boom boom!
The brilliant starlight almost spread to the level where Chen Shu was located.
