Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: The Disciple Looks for the Master

However, there were always people who panicked in the chaos and ran in the wrong direction, or failed to hear the call to assemble; at least a dozen people didn’t make it into the barrier.

At that very moment, with everyone huddled together, they looked out at the white expanse beyond the barrier, and then heard one scream more harrowing than the last, their hearts beating uneasily.

"What exactly happened, what did we encounter?" Gu Fan watched the fog outside with great tension and could faintly hear footsteps.

Lu Yi couldn’t help but say, "There couldn’t be monsters in the mist, could there?"

"Why do you always have the tongue of a doomsayer at critical moments?" Ouyang Jin was very angry, but refrained from acting out because of the crowd.

Here it comes, the footsteps are getting closer, Gu Fan frowned deeply, ready to strike.

Suddenly, someone crashed into the Protective Barrier, desperately pounding and shouting, trying to get in; but it was all too late. His skin was dissolving, his facial features had become indistinct, but one could feel his extreme pain.

Chunks of his flesh melted away and clumps fell off, until he collapsed on the ground, leaving only a skeleton.

Witnessing this scene, everyone’s fear reached its peak, realizing just how terrifying the mist was—it could corrode a living person away.

At that time, more people who had gotten separated found the barrier and sought refuge, banging on the barrier and shouting hoarsely, "Let me in, please let me in."

Who would dare? The Protective Barrier wasn’t something that could be opened or established on a whim; letting people in would undoubtedly allow more mist to pour in, resulting in even more misfortune.

Seeing the desperate cries from outside the barrier, everybody felt a pang of guilt but was powerless to help.

Then another person appeared, but he was peculiar; as his flesh dissolved, he quickly stood up again. He moved through the mist with calm indifference, as if he didn’t care about the damage it inflicted on him, although the pain still contorted his expression somewhat.

Zhuo Hang noticed the situation here and approached, swiftly putting the struggling individuals outside the barrier out of their misery, sparing them some agony.

Inside the barrier, witnessing Zhuo Hang’s healing ability, which seemed even more formidable than a vampire’s, everyone couldn’t help but admire him and felt a secret relief. Fortunately, this individual was on their side; he might just be their hope.

Ten minutes later, just as Lin Xi’s supernatural power was depleted and the Protective Barrier was on the verge of collapse, the mist also dispersed.

Finally safe, everyone let out a sigh of relief and quickly spread out; being squeezed together like that had been truly uncomfortable.

Lu Yi took deep breaths immediately, "My God, no wonder vampires are reluctant to come here, this is terrifying."

To this, Su Hui shook her head, "Impossible, this mist cannot stop vampires. With their healing abilities, they can ignore the corrosive nature of the mist. At most, it would just be painful."

Gu Fan nodded, "Moreover, with special protective gear, they could resist the corrosion of the mist. Just this level of danger is not enough to stop the advance of Organization X, which means..."

Upon hearing this, everyone knew what Gu Fan was about to say, and their hearts sank one by one.

Irina grimaced, "Save us, we know nothing about this place. Just dealing with the fog nearly did us in, and there’s even more danger ahead, danger that even vampires dare not face."

"Indeed, just that alone, how is Jie supposed to cope?" Lu Yi’s words undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. The more dangerous it was here, the smaller the chance that Jie was alive. But no matter how small, they couldn’t give up.

Gu Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Right, Organization X must be somewhat familiar with this place. Since Jie came with them, then he must have been prepared to deal with this kind of fog."

"Yeah, maybe Jie is wearing equipment that can resist the corrosive nature of the fog?" Hope was reignited in everyone, but Gu Fan was contemplating another direction.

Gu Fan started running backward, shouting as he ran, "Hey, my beautiful master, have you heard my call? If you have, please show up quickly. Your precious disciple needs your care and guidance."

The rest, worried about Gu Fan, followed one by one, also curious to see what discovery had made him so overjoyed.

General Horton frowned as he considered whether to order the team to follow. But while General Horton was contemplating, the entire team had already chased after Gu Fan and the others, their eagerness not to be left behind apparent.

Hearing the commotion behind him and seeing that everyone had followed, Gu Fan smiled bitterly. With so many people present, Mo Yun certainly wouldn’t appear. So, Gu Fan gestured to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi understood, turned back, stretched out a hand, and conjured a Strong Wind to block everyone’s advance, saying sternly, "Alright, stop all of you. We’re not going to abandon you, rest assured. But please, do not follow us right now."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do and not daring to speak, for fear of offending Lin Xi.

General Horton stepped forward to ask, "Why are you acting separately from us, do you have a discovery you’re not sharing?"

Lin Xi, disliking General Horton, didn’t bother to answer and turned to leave.

"You people!" General Horton felt humiliated but couldn’t lash out, after all, these were people who could save your life in a crucial moment.

Su Hui came forward to smooth things over, "I’m sorry, too many people present can cause certain inconveniences, but you can rest assured, we truly have no intention of leaving you behind, and the moment we know something, we will definitely inform you."

"I hope so," General Horton could only say helplessly as he noticed all eyes were on Su Hui, Lin Xi, and even on Gu Fan, who was already walking away. Horton now felt he could no longer function as a leader.

Lu Yi was a bit confused, "I say, brother, you don’t want Lin Xi or Sister Su to accompany you, you just want to take me with you, what’s the meaning of this?"

Gu Fan looked helpless, "Because I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, especially not involving Lin Xi, and I need Sister Su to keep an eye on her. After thinking it over, I could only bring you."

"Why?" Just as Lu Yi did not understand, a graceful figure in a black bodysuit floated down from the sky, landing in front of Gu Fan and a wide-eyed Lu Yi.

Gu Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "My beautiful master, I knew you wouldn’t ignore me, I knew you would come. Do you know how much I’ve missed you?"
