Chapter 529: Chapter 364: A Disaster That Affects Dozens of Great Domains

Night had fallen, and the Blazing Fire Mall was still brilliantly lit, a small town adorned with various colored crystal stones, sparkling with magnificent neon colors under the night sky.

Beautiful and thriving, that was the Blazing Fire Mall of today.

However, an uneasy atmosphere had begun to permeate throughout the mall, and this disquiet did not stem from within the mall itself, but rather from the outside, from those Mysterious Evils that people had grown accustomed to.

"President Sean, have the Mysterious Evils in the wilderness really become that restless?"

At the Delicacies of Heaven Restaurant, in a private room for dignitaries.

Delicious and fragrant dishes had been served. In normal times, these wealthy merchants would set aside elegance to compete for servings, for the Delicacies of Heaven Restaurant not only made people linger, but was also memorably expensive.

But today, eleven great merchants from different Great Domains resisted the delectable delicacies close at hand. Or rather, an issue of greater importance had overshadowed the allure of fine food.

They looked solemn as they turned their eyes towards a man with brown curly hair donning an orange-red luxurious robe.

—From the Heartfire Core Great Domain, the Vice President of the Daylight Commerce Association, Sean.

The one who couldn’t wait to ask was another vice president of a major commerce association.

"Looking at me like this, could I possibly be joking?"

Sean gave a wry smile.

His eyes held an exhaustion that was hard to hide, not only physical fatigue but also a weariness of the soul.

This interdomain journey had caused their commerce fleet to suffer heavy losses. Half of their guards had fallen, and those who remained were nearly all injured. Even the batch of extremely valuable goods had to be painfully abandoned in large part.

This was the most disastrous loss he had ever experienced in his business career; his entire life savings might not be enough to cover the deficit.

Sean’s heart was bleeding.

Had he not been hoping to recoup some resources from these ’old friends,’ he would never attend a banquet at such a time.

Not even the tastiest food could soothe the wounds in his heart.

He no longer wanted to talk. He simply picked up a piece of food and bit down hard, as if he were biting those Mysterious Evils, longing to taste their blood.

Seeing him like this, the other association heads fell silent.

Asking more would only be to expect a different answer, hoping somewhat fortuitously.

Now, all such luck had shattered.

There should have been no illusions to begin with. When the Daylight Commerce Fleet entered the Oasis, everyone injured, their armors torn, that miserable sight had been witnessed by many. The Blazing Fire Oasis was small, and those coming and going often had connections; the Daylight Commerce Fleet’s misfortune had long since spread throughout the entire Oasis.

"But how could the Mysterious Evils go berserk, and what did they look like?"

Mysterious Evils were synonymous with chaos and fury; even the most worldly and knowledgeable merchants could hardly imagine what it would mean for a berserk creature to become more ferocious.

They could only await President Sean’s explanation.

Sean sighed. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "The fog-dispelling tools we use can, while dispelling fog, also inhibit the Mysterious Evils’ ability to heal, that’s correct, isn’t it?"

The merchants nodded in agreement.

Without fog-dispelling equipment, not only would Mysterious Evils swarm, but they also possessed extreme regenerative abilities, capable of recovering as if nothing had happened even if half their bodies were destroyed.

This was basic knowledge that even rookie Awakeners understood, yet witnessing it firsthand was rare. Such reckless knowledge was avoided by any rational person.

"The Bright Fire Torch could inhibit most of the Mysterious Evils’ regenerative powers, and our commerce association’s high-level fog-dispelling Strange Implement could almost completely nullify their ability to recover, as if they were stepping into an oasis."

"However, starting about half a month ago, we began to encounter more Mysterious Evils along the way. At first, we didn’t notice that the Mysterious Evils had become more troublesome, but gradually, as we fought, something felt off. Many times, after seeing a Mysterious Evil fall, they would rapidly get back up after a while. Flesh sprouted quickly at the severed limbs of those Mysterious Evils, regenerating in just a few breaths."

Recalling such scenes, even Sean’s complexion turned pale.

Their fleet’s fog-dispelling Strange Implements were still effective, and the Mysterious Evils that attacked them were not yet numerous enough to form waves. However, with their already formidable vitality enhanced by dreadful regenerative powers, they had become extremely terrifying.

Facing a four-star calamity Mysterious Evil, it took quite an effort for Sean, a Six Senses Awakener, to rapidly kill it.

And as time passed, they encountered more Mysterious Evils, and their recovery speed grew faster, making their journey progressively more difficult.

"If we had been delayed in the wilderness for another ten days or so, I’m afraid, our Daylight Commerce Fleet would have been completely wiped out."

Speaking of this, Sean too felt a lingering fear.

Pausing, he continued, "Moreover, the Mysterious Evils we encountered were still within the range of our fog-dispelling Strange Implements. If we were to actually enter the grey fog and face the Mysterious Evils directly, I’m afraid..."

After listening to the Vice President of the Daylight Commerce Association’s description, the other ten or so great merchants looked at each other.

They were all realizing the seriousness of the problem.

The owner of the Goldstream Commerce Association spoke up, "There’s no need for everyone to be too concerned. Whatever disaster has occurred in the Falling Star Pit, the first to bear the brunt wouldn’t be us but the Blazefire Commerce Guild and the City of Fallen Stars. Let’s wait and see what actions they will take."

"Eat, let’s eat."

After talking for so long, the owners were also getting hungry; no matter how tricky the disaster, they couldn’t let themselves go hungry.

Huh, why does it seem like there’s a lot less food?

...

The entire Blazing Fire Oasis remained peaceful and tranquil, but the commerce fleets that had just arrived and suffered considerable losses due to the restless Mysterious Evils weren’t limited to just the Daylight Commerce Fleet.
