Chapter 340: Chapter 338: The Catastrophe of the Magic Fog Strikes!_1 Chapter 340: Chapter 338: The Catastrophe of the Magic Fog Strikes!_1 “So, something did go wrong…”

Colin’s eyebrows knitted together as he observed the scene within the church, his mind quickly filling with conjectures.

He hadn’t been able to enter as usual last week because of the task for “World Code -4,”…

So this time he arrived seven days later, instead of the usual next day.

At the same time, Li Ming and others, who had just descended and were ready to pop some pills to work overtime, also stopped their movements and stared for a few seconds upon seeing the scene before them, then immediately spoke up:

“What happened? What’s going on?”

With the sound of his voice, the Bonfire Followers, who had been praying continuously in the church, finally opened their eyes and noticed their arrival.

Suddenly, as if they had found their backbone, they began to call out.

The situation became a bit chaotic for a moment.

“Quiet down, tell us what happened first…”

Colin raised his hand to calm them and chose one of the believers, who seemed relatively calm, to come forward and recount what had occurred.

“Archbishop, during the time you returned to the ‘God Kingdom,’ it was the ‘Catastrophe of the Magic Fog,’ the terrifying creatures from the ‘Catastrophe of the Magic Fog’ attacked over here!”

The elderly believer tearfully narrated the hardships of the past few days.

The monsters of the “Catastrophe of the Magic Fog” appeared nearby roughly four days ago.

Perhaps it was Luck, the creatures, usually sensitive to the living, did not launch an attack here, as if they were unaware of it.

But three days ago, things suddenly changed.

The lingering monsters suddenly arrived, launching an attack here…

At that time, there were tens of thousands of people on the estate; clearly, not everyone could escape, nor was everybody able to move.

Thus, those who couldn’t leave could only seek shelter inside the church.

Everyone thought they would perish alongside the church, but it was at that moment when they noticed that all the monsters were avoiding this church.

Many of the old, weak, sick, and disabled thus narrowly escaped tragedy…

‘So these are those so-called monsters?’

Colin lifted his head, and through the front door, sensed the situation outside.

He could feel there were still some people outside the church, mostly the elderly and frail, along with some especially faithful Believers who were sworn to live or die with the church.

And a little further away, at a distance of about fifty meters, creatures of various sizes and distorted shapes lurked around.

From them, one could sense a twisted hostility towards the living.

But perhaps it was due to a wariness of the Bonfire, or some other reason, they dared not venture within a fifty-meter direct distance of the Bonfire.

However, due to the arrival of these creatures, the buildings around had all been knocked down and destroyed, looking like ruins.

‘The strength of the monsters nearby isn’t very high, they can be dealt with. It’s just that their numbers are a bit large; there are a few hundred, but that’s not too big a problem…’

Colin took a deep breath and further analyzed the information in the scents.

After understanding the general situation, suddenly a message appeared upon his retina…

[Event One: Rescue the disaster victims who have come for the Bonfire as much as possible.]

“Note”: Higher mission evaluations will be awarded.

…

As this task appeared, Colin immediately felt, approximately at the nine o’clock direction, several “guidances.”

Although he couldn’t sense specifics, he could vaguely determine there were quite a few survivors.

“Close call, not everyone died.”

Colin let out a silent breath of relief. For him, the greatest significance of this mission was that he could accurately locate the people who had once come before the bonfire…

Although he could slowly find them by their scent, it was definitely not as fast as this method.

This time, if they all died because of this incident, he could not accept it.

This was the territory he had established with so much effort!

From nothing to something, it had developed little by little into the territory it was now.

After that, Colin looked around the church and was about to leave when he suddenly realized an important person was missing…

“Where’s ‘Red’?” Colin asked.

If she were here, she would probably have rushed over as soon as he arrived.

But he had not seen her up till now…

And inside the church, there was none of her scent at all, while the faint scents that lingered seemed to be several days old.

This gave him a bad premonition.

Just as he finished speaking, several children with red-rimmed eyes emerged, “Archbishop, sister, she suddenly left after the monsters arrived, leading away some beasts, and we have no idea where she is now…”

“She left on her own?” Colin frowned deeply.

He knew there was something special about Little Red, but that specialty was unlikely to handle the current situation.

However, seeing several children crying, Colin said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find her and bring her back.”

After comforting them, he looked at Li Ming and the other two, “You guys take charge and manage the disaster-affected people for now. I’ve brought you some help this time, you can find out how to use them for yourselves…”

Colin raised his hand and three silver mists flew out towards them.

The Nano Intellectual Mechanism contained in each was about five jin, enough for the trio to cope with the current situation, and even form a layer of nano-armor on their skin.

Having done all this, Colin quickly pushed open the door, took a distant look at the swarm of monsters ahead, then with a powerful leap, he plunged into the midst of the beasts amidst the gazes and cries of astonishment from thousands of believers, like a cannonball.

Crack!

A monster, coincidentally at the landing spot, was crushed on the spot by Colin.

He looked around quickly, scanning the scene and saw a large number of creatures with twisted shapes, the smallest of which were the size of a small car, covered in the area, with gray-white chitin claws or hammer-like appendages.

It was then that Colin felt a chaotic and strange wave of spiritual energy washing over him…

At the same time, after initial surprise, all the monsters immediately began attacking him.

“A group spiritual attack? Seems like it has strong polluting effects too?”

While pondering, Colin quickly took out a 300 milliliters test tube from his pocket—

Pure Firebearer essence grease, no additives, free of any extraneous substances!

He had just received it yesterday from the company and hadn’t yet had the chance to dilute it with water.

Moreover, considering the emergency, Colin had no intention of holding back. He squeezed forcefully, breaking the test tube, and flames ignited.

Boom!

A tremendous fireball erupted from within the group of monsters.

The scorching light rose like a mushroom cloud before exploding outwards like a tidal wave, engulfing all the nearby magical creatures.

Under the intense heat, many of the weaker monsters were instantly charred and killed on the spot.

Even the slightly stronger ones lasted no more than a dozen seconds in the flames before they too howled in agony and died.
