The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2826 I didn't tell anyone about this!

"My friend flew upwards, and just as he took off, I suddenly couldn't see him anymore!"

The man's voice tightened, as if he had returned to that terrifying period of time, back to that oppressive, suffocating fog.

"In just a moment, he vanished from my sight without a trace!"

"I was terrified and didn't dare to stay alone any longer. Just as I was about to fly upwards, the fog in the air was suddenly violently shaken, and then returned to calm."

"I was terrified and lay down under a tree root, too scared to move. Then, something fell from the sky. When I looked closely, it was my friend's upper body."

Lin Chen and Gong Jianying were both captivated by the story he told.

Murder is commonplace in adventure stories, whether it's being killed by monsters or other cultivators, but there's never such a bizarre process.

The man's voice was filled with deep fear: "My friend's half-body fell not far in front of me. The wound was covered in blood and looked very messy, not like it was cut by a sharp blade. His face was full of terror, as if he had seen something incredibly horrific before he died."

"I was so scared that my whole body went cold. I subconsciously activated a talisman that I had bought at a high price. This talisman can block a person's life force for a short period of time and can help them escape other people's spiritual scans."

"I hid under the roots of that giant tree, and then I heard the sound of something heavy falling, and the sound of heavy breathing. The sound seemed to be right next to my ear, and it made my hair stand on end."

"The giant creature seemed to be heading for my friend's half-body. I heard chewing sounds, and then it moved away. I couldn't help but peek up through the gaps in the tree roots."

Gong Jianying asked anxiously, "What is it? Could it be a Leaping Beast?"

The man nodded and said, "I only saw its back, but it looks very similar to your magical image, especially the two wings on its back and the tail that trails behind it. It's unforgettable."

"My first thought was that we had stumbled into the territory of some powerful monster, and this fog might be its power. I didn't dare to move and just waited, hoping it would leave. But then something even stranger happened." Lin Chen's eyes widened. He had initially thought it was just about the Sky Leaping Beast eating people, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Suddenly, two men dressed in black robes and wearing hoods appeared in the air. They were hovering in mid-air, not far above me. I was terrified, fearing that they would discover me."

"The two of them stood in mid-air, said a few words, and then disappeared. The leaping beast saw them but did not react at all, as if they were together."

Lin Chen frowned: "What did they say?"

The man recalled in a low voice, "One man said, 'A hapless fellow broke in, but he's already dead. We can save him some food today.' Another man replied, 'Check again. We can't be careless. Things have reached a critical point. If we make a mistake, we'll all die.' The first man replied, 'This place is already very remote, and we've set up a fog world. As long as someone breaks in, we'll definitely know. Don't be nervous.' The second man added, 'No matter what, this is a matter of great importance. We absolutely cannot make a mistake.' Then the two of them left together."

great cause?

At a critical moment?
A world shrouded in mist? Anyone who makes a mistake will die?
Lin Chen grasped a series of keywords in an instant, and wondered to himself, "The Red River Mountains were originally a barren land, so what great undertaking did the human race go there to carry out, and why was it so mysterious?"
What are you doing?

These people are actually with the Sky Leaping Beast, or perhaps they are the ones who feed the Sky Leaping Beast?
That's strange.

Lin Chen pressed on, "And then what?"

The man replied, "I heard them say that they can sense when someone comes in, which scared me. After they left, I didn't dare to take off, so I stayed close to the ground and crawled around randomly based on my memory..."

"I thought I was going to die, but then something seemed to happen. The fog that was floating around suddenly started to surge and ripple violently. I could hear people shouting and cursing in the distance. Then, it seemed like cracks appeared in the fog-shrouded world. I followed the direction of the cracks and escaped. I actually managed to escape."

"After I escaped, I ran straight out of the Red River Mountains without looking back. Only then did I realize I had survived. I didn't dare tell anyone about it, for fear of attracting my death. I always felt that those people were not simple, and probably had a powerful background..."
