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

After Chen Yang gave a brief explanation, Sun Yue also looked like he had seen a ghost.

"So, you just bought a water basin from me before the game, and then we ended up in the same gaming space?"

"There are a million players out there, and we ended up being matched together. What a coincidence..."

As they chatted, they unknowingly walked several miles.

For some reason, Chen Yang felt uneasy throughout the journey.

He simply attributed it to the nervousness of entering an unknown environment and buried this unease deep in his heart.

The surrounding environment grew increasingly quiet, and even the sound of the wind was buried in this eerie land.

Along the roadside, one can see numerous wild graves, their low mounds exuding a chilling aura.

Chen Yang and Sun Yue both fell silent, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Both of them knew they were close to the cemetery deep inside the canyon.

Unknown dangers lurk ahead.

Just then, Chen Yang suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand to signal Sun Yue to stop as well.

Sun Yue was startled, his heart clenched, and he quickly looked around, becoming alert.

He saw that the person wandering around the grave had been easily dealt with by Yuumi, and there seemed to be no other enemies around.

"What's wrong?" Sun Yue asked curiously, lowering his voice.

Chen Yang did not answer, but instead made a shushing gesture, indicating to Sun Yue to remain silent.

He stopped not because he sensed any danger, but because he suddenly realized a problem.

Since the Guardian faction consists of him, Guo Miao, and Sun Yue, the number of players in the Zombie faction cannot be less than theirs.

He felt that the system wouldn't arrange unfair matches.

The two zombies, Som and the apothecary owner, are already dead.

However, the third player from the zombie faction has yet to appear.

Chen Yang guessed that this person was most likely hiding in the shadows and had not been exposed.

Based on the woman's diary, Chen Yang learned that players from the zombie faction could freely enter and exit the Dead Mountain Range without being attacked by zombies.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang's unease was like a seed taking root and sprouting, spreading continuously in his heart.

"go!"

Chen Yang turned around decisively.

"Huh? What's going on? Why did they suddenly leave? We're already here! The cemetery is just ahead!"

Sun Yue was puzzled and quickly caught up with Chen Yang.

"I'll explain when we get back. First, let's get out of here!"

Chen Yang gave the instructions in a low voice and quickened his pace.

He planned to return to the small town, make thorough preparations, and then come back to explore.

However, Chen Yang stopped shortly after walking a short distance.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

The path they came from was now shrouded in a thick layer of purple mist.

"What the hell is this?" Sun Yue was dumbfounded. "I remember there was no fog when we came here."

The purple mist appeared out of nowhere, blocking their only path.

The fog continued to spread, like some kind of wriggling creature, slowly approaching them and devouring everything in its path.

Chen Yang's pupils suddenly contracted. He had seen this kind of fog outside the Enchanted Forest just a few hours ago, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.

He was certain he hadn't misread it.

This is definitely the eerie fog of a psychedelic forest!

How did it spread here?

Alarm bells rang in his mind.

"Run!" Chen Yang shouted.

He was completely panicked this time. He had been able to remain calm when facing two players from opposing factions alone before, but the scene in front of him was simply too illogical.

Moreover, having personally experienced the eeriness of this purple mist, Chen Yang felt that losing his memory would be far more painful than a quick death.

The purple mist that filled the sky, like a predatory beast, surged toward them with a suffocating sense of oppression.

This eerie fog should only exist in the Enchanted Forest, but now it has appeared in the Dead Mountain Range!

"Inhaling this mist will cause unconsciousness and even amnesia! Run!"

Without thinking too much, Chen Yang shouted loudly at Sun Yue.

"Holy shit!" Sun Yue was so shocked that he couldn't help but curse, and then turned and ran away.

Without the slightest hesitation, the instinct for survival instantly propelled the two of them.

Fortunately, the fog was not spreading too quickly, giving the two some time to catch their breath.

Now they have no choice but to keep going deeper and deeper into the canyon.

The two ran wildly, the fallen leaves and withered branches under their feet flying up and crackling loudly.

The zombies along the way, upon seeing the two frantically fleeing humans, instinctively turned around, intending to pounce.

However, before they could act, sharp spikes ripped through the air, striking with astonishing speed and precision, instantly killing the zombies and turning them into real corpses, stiffening and falling to the ground.

Yumi followed Chen Yang in the air.

After it was bound to Chen Yang, it could only move freely within a small area. If it went out of that area, it would be pulled back by an invisible "rope".

Like a...cat leash?

The two people and the cat ran until they reached a dilapidated cemetery before stopping.

Sun Yue gasped for breath and turned to look behind him.

"Chen...Chen Yang...the purple mist has stopped!"

The purple mist loomed menacingly in the distance, but did not approach.

The cemetery seemed to be protected by some kind of barrier, preventing the fog from spreading.

Chen Yang was also exhausted. He plopped down on a rock and turned to look at the cemetery in front of him.

The cemetery in front of me was in a terrible state of disrepair.

The gate was rusty, and tattered vines hung from the almost completely fallen iron bars, swaying slightly in the wind and making a grating sound.

The garden was filled with collapsed tombstones, and the soil rolled up, forming mounds.

On the dilapidated stone path, zombies of all sizes roam, some walking slowly with their heads down, emitting intermittent low growls.

Some zombies stood motionless, their empty eye sockets gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

The entire cemetery was shrouded in a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, with a deathly silence pervasive.

Sun Yue swallowed hard and said with difficulty:

"I don't think... this cemetery in front is any better than the fog behind it..."

However, they had no way out.

Entering the purple mist means certain death.

Entering the cemetery might offer a glimmer of hope.

"It's alright. Since we're here, let's go in and take a look."

Chen Yang comforted him.

At least Yuumi can easily kill these zombies, not to mention he has trump cards like the Flowerpot Wizard, Lava Nut, and Jalapeno.

As long as the opponent has a health bar, Chen Yang is not afraid.

"Okay... my stats are high, you can follow behind me..."

Sun Yue picked up the baseball bat and walked forward.

With the added advantage of his battlefield prowess, Sun Yue possesses physical attributes several times greater than those of top athletes.

But the situation was so critical that he overlooked something.

During their sprint, Chen Yang didn't fall too far behind Sun Yue!

With the help of Yumi, Chen Yang's physical fitness also improved to an astonishing level.

Chen Yang stood up, intending to follow Sun Yue.

Right now!

In just a brief moment, Chen Yang keenly detected a barely perceptible sound of air being cut through!

"Chen Yang... there are three zombies ahead. Let your Cattail Grass take care of them..."

"..."

"...Chen Yang?"

"Chen Yang!"

Sun Yue was cautiously moving forward, but he didn't hear a response from Chen Yang, which made him a little confused.

Turning his head, the scene before him instantly threw him into disarray.

Chen Yang collapsed to the ground!
