Above the gray fog

Lin Shan jumped and ran frantically, but one of the head monsters seemed to have set its sights on him and chased him closely.

The head monster quickly slid on the ground, making a creepy friction sound.

As the head monsters appeared in large numbers, the atmosphere around became more terrifying. The surroundings were filled with thick darkness, and strange lights and shadows flashed from time to time, as if more monsters lurking in the shadows were watching.

Lin Shan was extremely anxious, and the head monster was getting closer and closer.

Before long, he could feel the cold breath almost sticking to his back.

Lin Shan had tried his best, but no matter how hard he tried, the head monster kept chasing him.

Finally, at a certain moment.

Lin Shan felt that the sky suddenly darkened.

The head monster covered him directly from above.

Lin Shan's vision was completely blocked, and everything around him fell into deep darkness.

However, strangely, this head monster did not erode his body like other monsters.

On the contrary, when the two came into contact, a series of subtle voices entered Lin Shan's mind - "Delia, Delia..."

"Delia?" Lin Shan repeated the name in a low voice in the darkness, feeling extremely familiar.

His brain was working rapidly, and he soon remembered the name.

In his memory, there were two people named Delia, but the only one who was related to the void creatures was Teacher Delia on the Lookout.

Lin Shan's thoughts were surging, and combined with the images of these head monsters, he suddenly realized that some of the characteristics of these monsters were really similar to Delia.

The head monster just kept shouting the name "Delia", and Lin Shan tried to communicate with it, but failed in the end.

Surrounded by this head monster, Lin Shan could not move and could only stay where he was.

After an unknown period of time, there was a rustling sound around, as if countless sticky creatures were wriggling.

The monster on the head finally began to loosen, and Lin Shan felt relieved.

When the skull monster left Lin Shan, the candle army in front began to move again.

The candle army at this time was completely different from before, and almost all the candles had tentacles.

These tentacles wriggled in the faint light, looking both weird and chilling.

Lin Shan followed behind, thinking about it, but still couldn't understand the relationship between the skull monster and Teacher Delia.

It's just that the head part is missing, could it be... Lin Shan thought of a possibility, but quickly gave up the idea.

It seems that the skull monster didn't let him grow tentacles just now for the sake of Teacher Delia, which proves that growing tentacles is not a good thing for these candle creatures.

Lin Shan took a deep breath in his heart and decided not to worry about these issues for the time being.

He continued to move forward with the candle army, and continued to be alert to more dangers that might appear ahead.

The previous experience has made him understand that in this strange world, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

The candles with tentacles continued to move forward. This time, with the help of tentacles, they began to run quickly as if they had grown legs.

Lin Shan was left far behind, and he was anxious.

Without the help of tentacles, if he wanted to catch up with the candle monsters in front of him, he could only keep jumping faster and faster, almost rushing forward with all his strength.

As the candles moved forward, the surrounding environment became more and more bizarre.

The candles came to a strange area, which was shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell of decay.

The ground was covered with plants of strange shapes, which were like tentacles of some creatures, swaying gently in the breeze.

At some point in the sky, a huge green moon hung, revealing a strange light, shining on the candles, making their shadows very long and particularly terrifying.

These candle monsters stood in place, and under the moonlight, not long after, their bodies began to slowly crack.

A sticky liquid oozed out of the cracks, and then small head monsters crawled out of the candle.

Their appearance was very similar to the head monsters that chased Lin Shan before, but they were much smaller.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart.

He finally understood that these head monsters used candles as parasitic carriers.

Thinking that there was a head monster lying on his head before, Lin Shan couldn't help but feel a palpitation.

His eyes were fixed on the cracked candle bodies, and he watched the head monsters crawl out of them one by one.

After each small head monster was born, it lay motionless in the same place, as if waiting for something.

Lin Shan suppressed his uneasiness, found a gap to jump, and passed through this mess.

As Lin Shan jumped, the scene in front of him gradually became clear, and the green moon in the sky disappeared.

In the distance, a hazy area covered by yellow light appeared.

Obviously, that was another gathering place for candles.

Lin Shan stopped and stood there, falling into a brief confusion.

There were dense candles in front of him, and the young of the head monster behind him.

If it were normal, Lin Shan might be able to slowly find a way, but the gray fog universe was being attacked by the outer gods all the time.

He didn't want to be trapped here for too long.

Lin Shan tried to sort out the clues.

In the end, he still chose to trust his intuition and decided to catch up with the new candle army.

This time, the candle army was huge, with a number thousands of times that of the one he had followed before, and the dense team was endless.

A few days later, Lin Shan followed the candle army through another stone forest.

Under the dim yellow light, the black shadows in the stone forest cheered and jumped for joy, as if they were celebrating something strange.

A few candles stayed in the stone forest, while the large army continued to move forward, almost the same as the previous pattern.

This is a cycle.

Lin Shan's brain was running fast, trying to find a breakthrough point.

If he wanted to continue sinking and get out of here, he had to restore his strength, at least his telekinesis.

There are three kinds of creatures encountered so far: the black shadows in the stone forest, the huge tentacles floating in the air that can replenish the life of the candles, and the head monster.

Perhaps we can also add - unknown species hidden in the dark, peeking from time to time.

If the intuition is correct, the breakthrough point is likely to be between these four creatures.

First, exclude the head monster, which must be evil.

For the remaining two, he can only try them separately.

After Lin Shan made the decision, he followed the candle group through more than a dozen stone forests of varying sizes. The number of candle members had been reduced by more than half.

Finally, a strange low humming sounded in Lin Shan's ears, exactly the same as the sound he heard last time.

The candles followed the low humming and moved forward, unconsciously speeding up.
