Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Before the winged monster landed on the ground, Huo Xiuxiu had already stretched out her hand, with an invisible cyclone lingering on her arm. She was just waiting for the monster to land so that she could tear it to pieces in an instant.

"Don't kill him, leave him alive!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Shi spoke up to stop him. Huo Xiuxiu frowned, but still showed mercy and retracted the cyclone. Instead, she used more than a dozen ghost hands to firmly control the winged monster that fell to the ground, making it unable to move.

"What are you going to do again?"

Zhang Shi quickly approached the monster and used Lao Duan to cut the tendons of its hands and feet in two or three strokes, then took off the contract ring on its finger.

"This birdman has excellent eyesight and can see through the fog. It will be difficult to catch him. We cannot waste this opportunity."

After that, Zhang Shi placed Old Duan across the winged monster's neck, using threats and inducements to coerce it into submission and give up resistance. However, Zhang Shi underestimated the monster's resolve. Even with a knife pressed against its neck, it refused to yield and continued to struggle violently. If it weren't for its numerous ghost hands, it might have been able to break free.

Zhang Shi sighed, knowing that the contract approach would not work, and could only shake his head helplessly at Huo Xiuxiu.

Seeing this, Huo Xiuxiu showed no mercy. She pointed her finger in the air, and a finger hole appeared on the head of the winged monster, killing it instantly.

Surprisingly, after the winged monster died, a prop was revealed.

Zhang Shi was both surprised and delighted. Ever since entering the City of Mist, creatures like the winged monsters had no rank or level. Zhang Shi couldn't even discern their names or characteristics, let alone the rewards from killing them. Each exploration yielded only a meager amount of experience. This was the first time he'd encountered something like this. After returning to Huo Village, Zhang Shi had lost the system's support, and even his sign-in had been interrupted for several days. Now, with this sudden appearance, Zhang Shi had a vague feeling that this item must be crucial to helping him escape his predicament.

Zhang Shi glanced at Huo Xiuxiu, who waved her hand at him nonchalantly. Zhang Shi then smiled and took the prop into his arms. After taking a closer look, he was even more pleasantly surprised.

Titanium Alloy Enhanced Vision Card (Powder): Use this card to significantly enhance vision and allow you to see through some of the fog (only for animals, orcs, and druids)

Zhang Shi was immediately excited when he saw the effect of the prop. With this thing, the possibility of everyone getting out of the fog suddenly increased significantly. However, this prop was limited to a certain race, but this did not bother Zhang Shi. With a thought, he released Pipi from the White Tiger space.

Previously, Zhang Shi didn't dare to let Pipi go out to take risks because he was worried that the foggy world was too dangerous. Now that it has a place to be used, he no longer keeps him under control.

As soon as Pippi came out, he carefully looked around. After seeing that there was no danger, he set his eyes on Huo Xiuxiu.

It first sniffed the edge of Huo Xiuxiu's skirt, then circled around her, finally revealing a puzzled expression. Huo Xiuxiu squatted down, uncharacteristically, and reached out to tease Pipi. Pipi leaned over and licked her finger, then happily wagging its tail and pounced on her.

Zhang Shi saw everything and said to Huo Xiuxiu thoughtfully.

"It seems that Pipi likes you very much."

Huo Xiuxiu ignored him and after teasing Pipi for a while, she dragged it in front of Zhang Shi.

"Let's get down to business first. There's still time. If we're lucky, we can reach the edge of the red zone today."

Zhang Shi nodded and gave the enhancement card to Pipi without hesitation.

A dazzling green light appeared and fell into Pipi's eyes. A moment later, its eyes flashed with a strong dim light. Zhang Shi knew that this was the effect of the enhancement card.

Pipi first adjusted to his suddenly enhanced vision, then leaned forward to gaze in one direction. Through his connection with Pipi, Zhang Shi guessed that something dangerous was approaching him in that direction.

"Be careful, something is coming!"

Zhang Shi and his group had just caused quite a stir in their fight with the winged monster. Although the battle ended quickly, it still attracted the existence in the fog.

Huo Xiuxiu was the first to notice the other party's position. She raised her hand and sent two cyclones towards the fog. The cyclones seemed to hit something, making two muffled sounds, but there was no other movement.

Zhang Shi glanced around nervously. Through his connection with Pipi, he could vaguely sense an uneasy aura rapidly approaching, but everything was still hazy in the mist. He whispered to Huo Xiuxiu, "It seems they're not a simple threat. We need to be careful."

Huo Xiuxiu looked solemn. She nodded, signaling everyone to prepare for battle. Pipi continued to stare forward with those glimmering eyes, occasionally letting out a low growl, as if giving a warning.

Suddenly, a strange rustling sound emerged from the mist, followed by several figures slowly emerging. Their bodies twisted, as if the mist itself materialized, their surroundings slightly distorted with each step. These creatures, covered in a moss-like substance, had eyes that glowed green, and their appearance was surprisingly similar to that of the sludge monsters.

"It's a mist moss monster. Be careful with its tentacles, they can paralyze your nerves." Huo Xiuxiu obviously had some knowledge about this kind of monster, and she quickly reminded him. After hearing this, Zhang Shi clenched the Lao Duan in his hand, exchanged a glance with his companions, and prepared to fight.

Huo Xiuxiu's expression grew unusually serious. Clearly, these monsters were not easy to deal with. She attempted to unleash her cyclone again, attempting to repel or contain them remotely. However, these misty moss monsters seemed even more cunning than the previous winged monsters. They were incredibly fast, nimbly dodging the cyclone's attacks while simultaneously closing in from all directions, their tentacles extending like snakes, attempting to entangle them.

Seeing the large number of monsters, Zhang Shi knew that he was surrounded. After thinking for a moment, he decided to take the initiative to attack. After casting Shadow, he used Shadow Slash at the same time, trying to weaken the enemy's number.

But those moss monsters were obviously not so easy to deal with. When the shadow sword energy fell in front of them, their bodies suddenly became translucent, as if they had become ethereal and merged into the mist. The shadow sword energy hit them like hitting air and returned in vain.

Zhang Shi frowned. This was the first time he encountered a monster that was immune to energy attacks. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Huo Xiuxiu gently shook the bell and gave timely reminders.

"These monsters are immune to all magic and energy attacks in the thick fog. Either we find a way to lure them out of the fog and kill them, or we engage them in close combat. There's no other way."

Taking advantage of the brief dispersal of the nearby fog, Ge Dalong tried to attack the moss monster with ice cones. Although most of the ice cones were dodged, a few unlucky ones were still hit and were covered in frost and fixed in place. Zhao Feng rushed forward and chopped the monster into pieces with one axe.
