Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 90 White Mist
"We've arrived!" Su Yu had already reached the palace corridor.

Su Yu cautiously peered through the wall.

In a large hall, marble pillars stretched out, and a huge magic circle could be vaguely seen, emitting a faint light. Apart from that, there was a thick fog, within which white light and figures flickered, shouted, and fought.

"My father is inside!"

The moment I saw the mist, my body swayed, and I vaguely heard a series of strange laughs.

"Is it being targeted by a large number of evil spirits?" Su Yu murmured.

Palaces were originally places where people gathered, so after their destruction, evil spirits naturally gathered there.

Just as Su Yu was thinking this, he secretly stepped into the huge hall. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his body and immediately pressed himself against a shadowy wall.

"Buzz"

For some unknown reason, the magic circle suddenly emitted a faint light, and the palace began to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?" The leader of the men in black lying on the ground changed his expression, clearly not expecting this turn of events.

"Good thing!"

Song Xunfang was overjoyed. He felt that the magic array's self-protection mechanism had been triggered. Although the guards in the palace had been defeated, the magic array still possessed great power.

"Everyone, hold your ground!"

"The evil spirit has triggered the protection mechanism!"

"Mage, continue to enhance the weapon!"

Song Xunfang shouted loudly, while simultaneously directing his troops to quickly take up advantageous positions.

As soon as they finished speaking, as if in response, a low rumble came from below the magic circle, as if something was awakening.

Song Xunfang and the leader of the men in black both looked toward the magic array.

"What's that sound?" Su Yu pressed himself against the wall and indeed, the entire passageway was vibrating slightly.

"It sounds a bit like..." Su Yu listened intently for a moment, his expression changing slightly: "It's the sound of a mechanism being activated!"

"organ?"

The rock giants and terracotta soldiers are really troublesome; everyone is now terrified of any traps or mechanisms.

"Could it be... there are even more powerful guards?" Song Xunfang was startled, realizing that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

The leader of the men in black also became serious. Clearly, the plan had taken an unexpected turn, and the secrets within the palace were far more dangerous than anticipated.

"No, no!"

Just as Su Yu was about to act, he saw from the outside that a man in black was wriggling on the ground. His movements were not large, and a blurry figure was above him, but seemed not to have noticed him.

"Die! Die!" roared a Song family sailor, his weapon flashing with a faint white light as he slashed at the blurry figure.

In the mist, the man in black crawled to his feet, a flash of cold light.

The dagger was thrust in and then withdrawn, rolling to the side.

With a "plop," the sailor's leg trembled, and blood spurted out. At this moment, even the ghosts, who were still somewhat wary of the white light, suddenly roared and several rushed forward.

"Go to hell... Ah, ah, ah..."

The Song family sailors cut one of them apart, but two more pounced on him, letting out a dying scream. The two ghosts were initially blurry, but as the air filled with a thick, fishy smell, their shapes gradually changed.

They were all barely human-like, gray in color, with only their eyes bloodshot, filled with madness and bloodlust.

"Hehe, hehe, die! With each death, the ghost grows stronger!" A faint white mist seeped from the man in black, who remained motionless.

"Retreat! Retreat as far as you can within the range of the magic array!" Song Xunfang heard the screams and hurriedly gave the order.

"Father, still inside!" Although the fog obscured their vision, the screen displayed their location, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's time to complete the mission."

"To complete the mission, we must kill all the enemies, leaving no one alive!"

Su Yu looked at the man in black, his gaze turning cold. Although the screen did not display whether the unit was friendly or hostile, he could tell just by looking.

"Forced killing is too foolish. If you can use Ghost, why can't I?" A little white light appeared in Su Yu's hand.

"No, it's still too strong."

"Another weakness!"

The [Blazing Beam] was originally intended to use positive energy to strike evil spirits, but magic is static, while people are dynamic. The essence of military strategy lies in one's mind.

A tiny speck of white light, barely a blink of an eye, swiftly passed through and landed on the clothes of the man in black.

The man in black rolled over and lay motionless on the ground, a wisp of white mist emanating from the badge on his chest, seemingly obscuring his body.

The gray shadow was floating aimlessly, not noticing anything, when it suddenly sensed something was wrong. It tilted its gaze downwards and saw the man in black below.

"..." A silent roar, and the gray shadow pounced.

"No!" came screams and a flight, but the sudden movement alerted the evil spirits, who immediately lunged at it.

"Ahhh!" The same death scream came from the man in black.

"Damn it, you deserve to die for being so careless!" The leader of the men in black hadn't realized what had happened and thought it was one of his men who had accidentally revealed his presence.

The badge is indeed effective, but it's not a panacea; even the slightest movement can be detected.

The corpse fell to the ground, and wisps of white mist emanated from the badge on its chest, obscuring the body. The ghosts, attracted by the smell of blood, merely hovered this time and no longer detected any signs of life.

"what?"

Su Yu looked over and fixed his gaze on the badge. Without hesitation, he rolled over and pounced on the corpse of the man in black.

Touching the badge felt cold to the touch, as if it were plunged into ice water.

"Success."

Su Yu rolled again, trying to escape, but the stones and trash in the corridor made his roll unsteady. With a thud, he got up and continued running.

"..." Upon hearing the sound, three gray shadows lunged forward menacingly, their chilling aura spreading outwards.

It seems that carrying the white light of the wooden house with them cannot stop their madness.

"【Blazing Beam】!" Su Yu pointed, and a beam of white light focused, striking an evil spirit and instantly vaporizing it.

But the two pounced on him so fast that Su Yu didn't have time to react. Just as they were about to reach him, Su Yu suddenly made his move.

"Come with me into the courtyard!"

The timing was always impeccable. The instant Su Yu uttered his voice, the two vengeful spirits pounced forward, their sharp, long fingernails, which had transformed from semi-ethereal to solid, clawing down at his face.

However, the ghostly light that appeared out of nowhere transformed into a vortex of light, gently and swiftly enveloping Su Yu.

Su Yu's vision went black as he passed through a clear power, then his vision brightened and he found himself in the house in the courtyard.

There's a sofa right next to me, and a window right in front of me.

The approach of the two evil spirits did have some impact.

Su Yu's body, especially the flesh on his face that was almost scratched by the evil spirit's claws, felt as if it were being swept by extremely cold air.

I hadn't reacted at first, but now I belatedly feel my face and neck stiffening.

"Dealing with three evil spirits at the same time is indeed a bit of a stretch."

"However, it's still a long way from overturning."

Compared to the dangerous situation when I first dealt with spirits, I am now quite adept at using the courtyard to kill evil spirits.

Of course, if I had reacted even slightly slower, I would have been injured, possibly seriously, or even killed.

In such a situation, it is always a case of the brave prevailing when paths cross.

"Eliminate both evil spirits and enemies!"

This is Su Yu's strategy!
