Chapter 24: The Task of Deformation

  But on the way here, Xiao Yu didn't find any snake fennel at all, which means that he must go through this narrow area with extremely dense ghosts to search for it in front.

  Xiao Yu wandered around the nearby area, searching for a path that could get him through this section, but after calculating the sensing distance of these ghostly creatures, he realized that getting through here was an impossible task unless he could raise his stealth skill level higher.

  It was an impossible task before level 10!

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but he still didn't give up.

  There must be a way through here! Otherwise, the thief trainer Odde wouldn't have let himself come on this mission.

  "How can we get through here?" Xiao Yu looked ahead, thinking deeply, but couldn't figure it out.

  Just as Xiao Yu was deep in thought, a white cloud floated over from the depths of the canyon, enveloping everything around him in a thick fog, greatly reducing his field of vision and range of perception.

  Looking at the vast expanse of white in front of him, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. This white fog not only greatly reduced his field of vision and range of perception but also lowered the ghosts' perception!

  That is to say, this white fog is through here key!

  However, as for passing through this narrow and densely packed area of monsters in the white fog, Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive. Could he really do it? The difficulty seemed to be a bit too high.

  Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and after nearly fifteen seconds, the white mist slowly drifted away.

  After staying in place for nearly twenty minutes, Xiao Yu roughly understood the movement pattern of the white fog. Every five minutes, a cluster of white fog would float over, and it would linger nearby for about fifteen seconds before floating away. This meant that Xiao Yu had to pass through the narrow area ahead within fifteen seconds, undoubtedly adding some difficulty to his task.

  "The designer of this task is really abnormal, actually setting up such a task, it's simply too inhumane." Xiao Yu thought angrily to himself.

  Continue to observe, and after groping for a while, the movement rules of those ghosts in front were figured out. The routes that these ghosts moved were silently memorized in mind, and Xiao Yu groped out the route he should take to ensure his own safety.

  A mass of white fog drifted over this way.

  "It's now." Habitually spinning his right hand dagger, he grasped it firmly and crept forward stealthily.

  A thick fog quickly enveloped the surrounding area, visibility suddenly dropped, and the farthest that could be seen was only about two meters away from the ground.

  Entering the place where ghosts gather, Xiao Yu's heart tightened involuntarily.

  "Calm down!" Xiao Yu reminded himself quietly, took a deep breath and slowly moved forward.

  The speed seems to be a bit too slow, fifteen seconds may not be enough to get through here, Xiao Yu quickened his pace a bit, but he didn't dare to increase the speed too much, if he was discovered, Xiao Yu would hardly escape death.

  Passing by the three ghostly figures, Xiao Yu continued to move forward steadily for a distance. Ahead of him, from within the white misty cloud mass, three dark silhouettes were moving towards this direction.

  Xiao Yu stood still on the spot, and the place where he was standing was calculated earlier.

  Three strange ghosts walked towards the place where Xiao Yu's body was located.

  Xiao Yu stood still on the spot, watching as three ghostly figures walked towards him from the front, his heart tense to the extreme.

  The three ghostly patrols' route hadn't changed, and Xiao Yu's heart slightly calmed down.

  These three ghosts were all images of some villagers, and looking at these three ferocious faces, Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, for the first time feeling that these monsters were actually so terrifying.

  Three ghostly figures brushed past Xiao Yu one after another, gradually moving away. A pea-sized cold sweat rolled down from Xiao Yu's cheek along the temples and silently dripped onto the ground.

  At that moment, Xiao Yu felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest cavity.

  As the three ghostly creatures disappeared, Xiao Yu quickened his pace and continued to move forward, hoping to break through this narrow area as soon as possible. He brushed past several ghostly creatures in a row, and Xiao Yu felt that he was no longer as fearful as before, much calmer, and his movements were also much smoother.

  After being frightened for a while, I got used to it.

  "Must remain calm." Xiao Yu reminded himself once again, and brushed past another ghostly creature. When he was closest to these ghostly creatures, Xiao Yu could even see the images reflected in their eyes.

  In the dimly lit eyes of the ghosts, a vast expanse of whiteness stretches out, and in this misty veil, their field of vision is lower than imagined.

  There was still a short distance left, but there were only three seconds left, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but quicken his pace.

  In front of them were five ghostly monsters standing in a row, with only a narrow gap of less than half an inch left in the middle.

  Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, her speed not decreasing but instead increasing, and when she arrived in front of these ghostly monsters, she slightly shifted her body to the side, barely passing through them.

  After passing through these ghosts, Xiao Yu hurried forward, and as soon as he ran a distance, the surrounding fog gradually disappeared, blown away, and the surrounding view became clear again.

  What a close call!

  Xiao Yu turned his head to look at those ghosts that were active everywhere, feeling like he had just taken a stroll under the Grim Reaper's scythe and returned from hell to the mortal world.

  Xiao Yu finally dared to wipe away the cold sweat on his face and cursed the person who designed this task, actually designing such a perverted task!

  Xiao Yu calmed down for a moment, looking forward, the scene in front of him made Xiao Yu slightly dazed. This was a beautiful valley like spring, with picturesque scenery, forests, grasslands, and rivers, all looking very elegant. The only thing that slightly ruined the landscape was the ruins of a house in the middle of the grassland. The dense grass and weeds surrounding the ruins added a hint of desolation to this valley.

  After admiring for a moment, Xiao Yu immediately searched around, he wouldn't forget that he didn't come here to admire the scenery, but to find Snake Letter Grass.

  "Almost there, just a few more votes and it'll be on the charts... requesting firepower support"
