Chapter 719: Chapter 331 "Yin Bi" and... "Secret Mark Totem Studies"?

Sensing the commotion coming from afar, Kuai Hongji’s fingers gently tapped on his knee, seemingly calculating something.

Lin Yi too was curiously observing the location of the great disturbance. He had watched the entire process of Kuai Hongji’s arrangements, which simply involved some tampering with the vegetation so that parts of the light poles previously concealed by plant growth were revealed.

However, he did not notice the remnants of red paint numbers on the light poles, nor did he sense anything amiss about their appearance.

The Mountain Man now, wielding the light pole, exhibited the bravery of the warrior Lü Bu in his lifetime.

But the expressions on the Zealots’ faces were quite strange, as if it wasn’t just fear they felt, but also... disgust.

As if the light pole the Mountain Man was swinging... had been soaked in cesspit.

The Mountain Man had activated full combat mode, the indicators on his Exoskeleton Armor flickering with red light, his previously deeply suppressed emotions now thoroughly dispersed. He swung the light pole, creating stick flowers, and tangible Gang Wind formed a field around him, causing Zealots to retreat in succession.

Occasionally, some Zealots who failed to dodge in time convulsed violently after being hit by the light pole, emitting plumes of smoke, as if their bodies too were corroded.

They decisively abandoned the affected parts of their bodies and retreated with wariness.

"Hahahaha..." The Mountain Man grew more valiant with the fight, brandishing the light pole as he charged through; however, after he made some distance, cracks began to emerge on the light pole.

The Mountain Man noticed this problem and his eyes filled with seriousness as he quickly retreated.

"Don’t let him escape!" the Zealots shouted.

"What garbage!" Some Zealots who seemed to hold some authority in the Desolate Land cursed. After smearing all the solidified Supernatural Power onto a large plaster body, they placed the vessels down, instructed the Zealot behind them to "slow down a bit," and then left the Desolate Land. Transforming into a dark Phantom, they rushed toward the Mountain Man’s position.

"The task is completed, follow me, quick battle, quick resolution!"

He then took a group of Zealots with him.

As the Zealots gradually left, Kuai Hongji felt that the Time had come, and from nowhere produced a tattered dark green cloth, unfurled it, and draped it over himself.

This seemed to be one of the preparations he had made earlier. Now, wearing it and pulling the hood over his head, he appeared almost indistinguishable from the Zealots.

He descended from the gnarled branches of the old tree and then, blending into the Grey Mist, slipped into the Desolate Land.

Under the cover of overlapping Grey Mist Phantoms and giant plaster bodies, he easily traversed the area, even casually picking up a vessel that a Zealot had discarded upon leaving.

Holding the vessel, he imitated the Zealots’ mannerisms and steps, wandering in front of the remaining large plaster bodies like a ghost.

Fortunately, due to the departure of a large number of Zealots, those remaining were focused on smearing the large plaster bodies, coupled with the hazy environment of the Grey Mist and various other complicated factors, hardly any Zealot noticed Kuai Hongji’s presence. Even those who did paid him no mind, thinking he was one of their own, and promptly resumed their tasks.

Kuai Hongji appeared to be making subtle changes to the markings on the large plaster bodies. Like an archaeologist who understood these mysterious symbols and strange carvings and possessed the skills of a sculpture master, he merely adjusted the still-soft solidified Supernatural Power, subtly altering the meanings expressed by the symbols...

After a while, Kuai Hongji, carrying the vessel, went deep into the Desolate Land. Holding the vessel like a true Zealot, he arrived at the area covered with huge and ferocious cracks, placed the vessel near the pit, channeling solidified Supernatural Power.

Likewise, he prostrated himself, mimicking the Zealots’ actions of inhaling Grey Mist.

Just when Lin Yi thought Kuai Hongji was merely putting on a show, unexpectedly, Kuai Hongji genuinely started to inhale the Grey Mist.

This truly frightened Lin Yi. However, upon closer observation of Kuai Hongji’s condition, he noticed that Kuai Hongji’s body was still transparently guiding the Grey Mist inside, but as the Grey Mist passed through his body, it seemed to be missing something...

Using induction, Lin Yi discovered that what Kuai Hongji was inhaling was the highly pure "Primordial Pollution" from within the Grey Mist!

"Does Kuai Kuai actually possess such a skill?" Lin Yi was inexplicably shocked. Kuai Hongji’s ingestion of "Primordial Pollution" was like putting a filter at the mouth of a cup, the leaves not touched at all, yet not a drop of tea was missed.

"How is this manipulation even achieved?!"

Lin Yi truly couldn’t comprehend, like watching a top student do their homework or a master painter at work. It seemed like everyone understood the basic principles, but how come with just a tiny bit more detail, it’s like you’re casting Magic?!

Kuai Hongji thus unhurriedly inhaled the Primordial Pollution, not attracting any attention from the Zealots, while the vessel at his side continued to channel solidified Supernatural Power.
