"The miasma appeared suddenly recently, and it would not be a short time for the demonic beasts to adapt to it successfully."
Emperor Beichen's eyes flickered with thoughtful light, his wise demeanor seeming to see through everything.
"Your thoughts are the same as mine," Baili Hongzhuang smiled in agreement. "In that case, the appearance of this miasma becomes even more strange and worth studying."
Following that, Baili Hongzhuang returned to the side of Xia Zhiqing and the others, focusing on researching the toxin.
From the intensity of the miasma, they wouldn't be able to understand anything about the situation inside unless they could enter it.
Xia Zhiqing and the others looked at Baili Hongzhuang's complex process of researching the toxin and couldn't help but feel admiration. In fact, they had no way to deal with the miasma themselves.
After understanding the situation in the miasma forest, Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo no longer concealed their figures. At this point, there was no need to hide anymore. It was better to be together with everyone and find a way to enter the miasma.
"The toxicity of this miasma is very strong. Even with my cultivation level, I wouldn't be able to last long inside," Lu Huaiyan stated his judgment.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the others changed slightly. If even their mentor couldn't endure for long inside the miasma, then what about them?
"It seems that the Mercenary Guild's assessment was really wrong this time. This mission is definitely more than just a blue-level task," Lu Huaiyan said with seriousness.
"After the demonic beast frenzy, this sudden change is really strange. I'm afraid there's something extraordinary going on," he continued.
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo exchanged a glance, and the situation seemed somewhat reminiscent of something they had heard before.
"It couldn't be..." Lu Huaiyan slowly spoke, his mind already forming a certain speculation.
Fu Hongbo nodded slightly, "It's possible."
Both of them showed a change in expression. If things were really as they suspected, then it would be a big deal.
Xia Zhiqing and the others looked at their two mentors in confusion. They had no idea what the mentors were talking about, but they could tell from their expressions that the miasma was definitely not simple.
...
"I didn't expect something like this to appear here."
Emperor Beichen leaned against a big tree with a graceful posture, a meaningful smile playing at the corner of his lips.
Just as Baili Hongzhuang had finished studying the toxin on the silver needle, she heard Emperor Beichen's words, and curiosity arose in her clear eyes. "Do you already know what's going on with this miasma?"
"If my guess is correct, this miasma should be a sign of an ancient relic appearing."
Emperor Beichen had no intention of hiding anything from Baili Hongzhuang.
"An ancient relic?" Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. She had seen ancient relics before, but she didn't know that miasma would accompany their appearance.
Ancient relics were structures built by powerful individuals who left their lifelong wealth and legacies within them, hoping to find someone worthy of inheriting their legacy in the future.
Usually, the powerful individuals who built ancient relics were extremely formidable, as constructing such a relic required a tremendous amount of energy.
Ancient relics were generally located underground or in small worlds created by powerful individuals. Only when certain conditions were triggered would these ancient relics reveal themselves.
If there really was an ancient relic appearing within the miasma, it must have been triggered by the previous demonic beast frenzy, causing it to manifest.
