“That’s true!” Feng Da scratched his head shyly.
“Master, dragons of the dragon race can definitely sell for a good price on the Boundless Heaven Continent,” Lin Yuan reminded.
“Tch! Of course! However, we don’t lack money now, so it’s not too late to sell when we can’t take the blame.” Feng Da patted Lin Yuan’s head gently.
Everyone chatted and laughed along the way. The dragon race was their destination. Hmph! The dragon race came knocking on their door. Wouldn’t they be wasting the dragon race’s good intentions if they didn’t accept it?
“Miss, we can’t fly forward anymore,” the little peac.o.c.k suddenly said while flying.
“What’s wrong in front? Why is there so much fog?” Leng Ruoxue frowned in puzzlement. Moreover, the fog was grayish-black and poisonous gas filled the air.
“Master, we should be at Black Mist Cliff,” Feng Wu said after some thought. Black Mist Cliff was a necessary route to the dragon race, so they had to pa.s.s through this place if they wanted to reach the dragon race. Otherwise, they could only return the way they came.
“Black Mist Cliff?” Leng Ruoxue carefully searched for information about this Black Mist Cliff in her mind.
Black Mist Cliff could also be considered a strange place on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Below the cliff was a bottomless abyss, and the sky ten thousand meters above the cliff was even suffused with poisonous fog. If one wanted to go north from this Black Mist Cliff, they had to pay a high price.
Otherwise, no one could think of going there.
It was said that this Black Mist Cliff was the territory of the Black Mist Stronghold. The people of the Black Mist Stronghold were not afraid of these poisonous fog, They would allow others to pa.s.s through this place as long as they satisfied their conditions. Otherwise, they could only return home.
The origin of this Black Mist Stronghold was very mysterious. No one even remembered when they occupied this place. However, whenever someone wanted to pa.s.s through this place, the people from the Black Mist Stronghold would appear and propose conditions. They would send you there safely as
long as you could do it.
“Miss, looks like we have to land,” Feng Wu whispered.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Since they were pa.s.sing by this place, they should do as the Romans do! No antidote pill could be used here! A special herb was needed to dispel the poisonous fog here, and this herb could only grow under the Black Mist Cliff.
The little peac.o.c.k hurriedly descended upon hearing this. Then it panted heavily. Boohoo… The poisonous fog was so powerful that it found it difficult to breathe from so far away.
“Miss, what should we do now?” Feng Da said with a slight headache.
“Find the people from the Black Mist Stronghold to bring us there,” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. She didn’t know what the price would be, but she didn’t want to take the risk before she had absolute confidence in bringing everyone there safely. Moreover, this was a place that had to be pa.s.sed to
go to the north of the Boundless Heaven Continent. Presumably, the people from the Black Mist Stronghold wouldn’t propose any too excessive conditions. Otherwise, this Black Mist Stronghold would probably have become the public enemy of the continent long ago. If that was the case, they would
probably be unable to be carefree even with these poisonous fog protecting them!
“Where are the people from Black Mist Stronghold?” Everyone jumped down from the little peac.o.c.k’s back, their shrewd eyes searching everywhere. The little old man was calm and looked like he had nothing to do. Well, it was time to test their vision.
Leng Ruoxue looked up at the faintly discernible plaque in the gray-black fog not far away and smiled gently. Then she walked to the bottom of the plaque and stretched her hand in. Finally, she found a b.u.t.ton on the left wall and pressed it.
“There’s no need to look. I’ve already contacted them,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
“Uh!” Feng Da and the others were stunned, thinking, Miss is so fast!
A group of people walked out of the thick fog not long after Feng Da and the others returned to their senses. There were about ten people in this group, and each of them was above Mystic Sovereign. Moreover, their auras were restrained, and their expressions were calm. It would really be difficult to
notice their low profile if they didn’t often hide their strength!
“We want to pa.s.s through here,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly after seeing this group.
“Yes, as long as you can fulfill our conditions,” the man leading the group said with a very friendly att.i.tude. Even though these people’s strength were all Great Mystic on the surface, it was suspicious to have so many Great Mystics gathered together. Moreover, there were crouching tigers and hidden
dragons on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Therefore, they would also treat them politely even if the other party was only a small Mystic. After all, who knew if they were pretending to be pigs to eat tigers! There were many people who liked to hide their strength in this world!
“What conditions?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“There are two ways to pa.s.s through Black Mist Cliff. The first is to pay, and the other is to complete our mission,” the leader said with a smile.
“It will be ten million purple coins per person. If you choose to take on missions, you only need to complete three of our missions, before you will all be able to pa.s.s through here safely,” the leader added.
“Ten million? You’re robbing money!” Feng Da’s forehead was full of black lines. He couldn’t help shouting. If each person was paid ten million, the money that Miss had worked hard to save would be reduced by more than a billion in an instant! This Black Mist Stronghold was really too evil. He originally
thought that the Shadow City was already dark enough, but compared to this Black Mist Stronghold, it was basically a small house seeing a big house!
“Isn’t there another choice!” the leader said without anger. In fact, he didn’t care about Feng Da’s reaction at all. He had seen many people after guarding Black Mist Stronghold for so many years! There were many people with more intense reactions than Feng Da, so Feng Da’s reaction was really nothing.
“Tell me about your mission too!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. For some reason, she had a feeling that the Black Mist Stronghold collecting money was just a cover for them to complete their mission.
“Miss, our missions are all here. You can choose two from them to complete, and the last is the designated mission. If you complete all three missions, not only will you be able to pa.s.s Black Mist Cliff safely, you will also become guests of our Black Mist Stronghold in the future,” the leader explained.
Then he took out a beast hide scroll from his ring and handed it to Leng Ruoxue..
