I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chen Yang and his two companions ran wildly along the river.

Gargantl's footsteps followed closely behind.

The massive, mountain-like figure followed closely, locking onto the three of them.

Why is it chasing us relentlessly?

Chi Zigao's voice trembled as he clutched the plants clinging to him as if they were his last straw. "Should we jump into the river?"

"No."

Chen Yang coldly denied it, his gaze quickly sweeping over the river whose depth he couldn't discern. "If you jump in, you won't escape; instead, you'll become its target."

Huangfu Qinghe gritted his teeth and flung out the Frost Mushroom in his hand. The icy aura exploded in front of Gargantuar, slightly slowing down Gargantuar's speed.

"It works!" Chizi Gao looked back and was pleasantly surprised to see that Gargantuar's speed had slowed down.

But the hope lasted only a breath.

Gargantuar's body trembled slightly, and the frozen ice crystals on its surface shattered like glass.

His steps never faltered for a moment.

"We can't stop it."

Huangfu Qinghe gritted his teeth.

Chen Yang didn't speak. The little flowerpot mage appeared, waved his staff, and a pitch-black barrier surged into the air.

This high wall, growing between heaven and earth, stood in Gargantuar's way.

Gargantuar's figure finally stopped; for the first time, it was forced to halt.

"It worked!"

Chizi Gao shouted out joyfully, his voice filled with undisguised delight.

"Don't look back, run!"

Chen Yang grabbed their arms and sped up again.

Gargantull growled, stretched out his arm, and slammed his fist into the barrier.

Cracks spread like a spider web, and the wall teetered on the brink of collapse under their force.

Barriers that other zombies cannot pass through are about to be shattered in front of this sixth-tier Gargantuar!

Chen Yang dragged the two of them forward.

Yumi was flying in the air, providing Chen Yang with attribute bonuses.

The riverbank beneath my feet was soft, and every step felt like walking on the edge of an abyss.

The ten seconds that the little wizard in the flowerpot bought them were only enough for them to run a few hundred meters.

Behind them, the barrier finally shattered.

Gargantull's figure loomed over again, his footsteps following like drumbeats, growing ever closer.

The riverbank ahead gradually narrowed, and Chen Yang looked up to see a grove of trees in front of him.

A light purple-pink mist hung in the air, drifting slowly in the sunlight.

"What is this...?" Huangfu Qinghe's voice was tinged with hesitation, but he did not stop walking.

Chizi Gao glanced at the mist, then turned to Gargantuar, "Shall we charge in?"

His voice trembled, as if he were asking Chen Yang, or perhaps asking himself.

Chen Yang's gaze swept over the pink mist in the forest.

"Put on your gas masks and rush in."

Huangfu Qinghe took a deep breath and quickly put on his gas mask.

Chi Zigao gritted his teeth, muttered a curse under his breath, and followed behind Chen Yang.

The three rushed into the mist, and the forest instantly swallowed them up.

Gargantuar paused for a moment on the riverbank, casting a huge shadow, before stepping in without hesitation.

The purplish-pink mist washed over its body like a tide, and also over the entire forest.

The air grew increasingly stagnant, and the view was filled with a chaotic array of colors, as if the heavens and earth were gradually detaching themselves from their original course.

The three of them ran through the fog.

A purplish-pink mist enveloped them, like some kind of monstrous beast that devoured everything.

Chen Yang took one last look behind him, but his vision was swallowed by the fog, and visibility became extremely low.

The heavy footsteps crushed the branches and leaves, shaking the fine sand on the ground, each sound hitting Chen Yang's ears.

"It's caught up with us."

Chizi Gao's voice trembled as it came through the gas mask.

"run."

They only have this one option.

The three of them rushed forward desperately. The fog grew thicker and their vision narrowed. All they could hear were their rapid breathing and the rustling of leaves under their feet.

Gargantuar charged from behind, its massive arms parting the drooping branches, vines wrapping around its body.

The dense trees formed a constraint, and Gargantuar's movements were far less agile than the three of them, gradually becoming sluggish.

The unwilling roars still echoed in the fog.

"It... seems to be unable to see us."

Huangfu Qinghe glanced back; the enormous silhouette had blurred into the depths of the mist, but he did not let his guard down.

"Let's stay away from him..." Chi Zigao was already out of breath.

"He's still looking for us," Chen Yang said confidently.

He looked up and around, only to find that the thick fog was like an invisible net, obscuring everything deep in the forest.

The ground beneath their feet became slippery and soft, and the branches of the surrounding trees leaned inward, like a cage.

"Don't stop," Chen Yang said in a low voice.

Yumi flew out of the mist; thanks to the skill connection, it wouldn't lose Chen Yang's location.

The three continued running, crossing one twisted clearing after another, until their steps grew heavier and their breathing became more rapid.

"That's it, let's rest for a bit, I can't go on," Chizi Gao said.

Before us was a relatively open space, with several huge trees lying on the ground, their vines forming a natural barrier.

The three of them stopped.

They hid at the edge of the clearing, behind a fallen tree trunk.

A suffocating stillness filled the air, with only the distant roar of Gargantuar faintly visible through the mist.

Judging from the strength of the sound, the three people were out of danger.

"It can't see us anymore." Chi Zigao slumped to the ground, panting heavily, sweat dripping down his temples.

The Dawn Sunflower appeared, dispelling the surrounding mist.

This is Huangfu Qinghe's fifth-tier plant, which provided everyone with a sense of security in this misty environment.

Huangfu Qinghe leaned against the tree trunk, his expression still tense, his hand tightly gripping a Frost Mushroom. "Don't let your guard down, it could approach at any moment."

Chen Yang didn't speak, but clenched his fist and felt the mist drifting in his palm.

His gaze fell into the depths of the mist, where Gargantuar's roars faded into the distance.

But the oppressive atmosphere did not dissipate.

A purplish-pink mist silently swirled among the trees.

Just as the three were catching their breath, a deep roar came from the depths of the mist, seemingly both near and far, like some kind of giant beast slowly awakening in the darkness.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a low rumble of thunder rolling across the horizon.

Chi Zigao's body trembled, and he almost instinctively looked up. The voice was like a stone pressing on his shoulder, making him unconsciously hold his breath.

“What is that…” His voice was as low as a broken string, trembling with unease.

Huangfu Qinghe squinted, trying to see the source of the sound through the fog, but the fog seemed to come alive, growing thicker and thicker, completely blocking his vision.

The roar sounded again, this time lower and deeper, as if shaking the ground and causing the leaves to fall silently.

Chen Yang's fingers clenched slightly as he scanned his surroundings. Every tree and vine in the purple mist seemed to be watching their every move.

"Let's go," he said in a low voice, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable urgency.

"This forest is not just home to Gargantir."
