The arrival of Qin Yi excited everyone, making the approaching black mist seem less terrifying.
Both Qin Yi exuded an inexplicable sense of security, especially now that he was physically present.
The most excited was Zhu Di, a man in his thirties, whose eyes sparkled at the sight of Qin Yi, causing the thick-skinned Qin Yi to get goosebumps.
Qin Yi looked at him strangely. This guy seemed unfamiliar, never seen him before, but what was this problem? Why was he staring like that?
"Are you... okay?"
Zhu Di didn't expect Qin Yi to speak to him, causing his tongue to tie in excitement, his face flushing with color, unable to speak.
Zhu Chuan saw this and muttered "useless" under his breath, then quickly stepped forward to greet, "Greetings, Young Master Qin. I am Zhu Chuan from the Guardian Family of Shanlin City, and this is my son Zhu Di, who has always idolized you. He's too excited to speak right now."
Qin Yi was a bit taken aback; this was truly a rare event. His reputation wasn't great, with the outside world labeling him as cunning or shameless, yet he actually had a fan.
Being an idol, one must have the demeanor of an idol and not act overly excited, or it might scare the other person away. This was, after all, his only fan.
"Hello!"
Zhu Di trembled with excitement, "Idol, idol, can you give me a signature?"
Zhu Di could hardly speak coherently in his excitement.
Qin Yi laughed, "Not just a signature, once we've resolved what's in front of us, a photo together is fine too."
"Really?" Zhu Di was ecstatic.
Qin Yi nodded and smiled, "Now, who can tell me about the situation here?"
Zhu Di volunteered and explained the situation within the black mist to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi looked at him in surprise; Zhu Di's cultivation was only at the mid-stage Golden Core yet he had the courage to enter the black mist. Truly, a brave man.
"You're quite something."
Zhu Di's face was flush with excitement. When Wu Zhao had praised him similarly, he hadn't been excited at all. But hearing the same from Qin Yi, he was beside himself with glee.
"You mentioned that Wu Zhao went in but hasn't returned?"
Mu Lingchen nodded, "Yes, he went in before I arrived. The situation inside is unclear, and we dare not enter recklessly. We thought we'd wait for everyone to gather and then consider a plan. Wu Zhao has been inside for several hours now."
Qin Yi frowned slightly, "This guy is still so reckless."
"Brother Qin Yi." Sheng Tianlei squeezed out from the crowd, looking exactly the same, with his bowl haircut, resembling a teenager.
In fact, Sheng Tianlei was older than Qin Yi by a few years, but his mind wasn't fully developed, so he always called Qin Yi brother. At first, Qin Yi found it awkward, but gradually got used to it.
Qin Yi smiled at him and nodded, "Not bad, your cultivation has progressed quickly. It seems you haven't been slacking off."
Sheng Tianlei beamed with joy, "Brother Qin Yi, I can go in and find Wu Zhao. I'm not afraid of the black mist or the creatures inside."
Qin Yi naturally knew Sheng Tianlei wasn't afraid of the black mist or the Sky Demon Spiders inside, because he himself had a Poisonous Calamity Body, one of the Ten Great Body types, which was why his cultivation progressed so rapidly.
However, there were too many Sky Demon Spiders inside, and human efforts were ultimately limited.
"Zhu Chuan."
Zhu Chuan promptly responded, "Yes, Young Master Qin. What are your instructions?"
Qin Yi was the representative of the Four Great Guardian Gods, and Zhu Chuan, as a mere head of a small Guardian Family, dared not show any negligence.
"You lead the Zhu family people to guard outside and prohibit anyone from approaching the black mist."
"Understood," Zhu Chuan responded hurriedly.
Qin Yi glanced around, "The rest of you, follow me inside."
Xiahou Jun asked, "Qin Yi, shouldn't we devise a plan?"
"There is a plan."
Everyone looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's lips curved slightly, "The plan is to kill all the monsters inside the black mist."
Everyone: "..."
What kind of plan is that? It's like having no plan at all.
Qin Yi laughed, "The monsters inside the black mist are called Sky Demon Spiders. They are highly venomous, and their webs are extremely corrosive. Though their cultivation isn't particularly strong, they win through sheer numbers, making them difficult to handle.
The Sky Demon Spiders have one weakness, which is their fear of sunlight. But they have an innate ability to emit black mist, which blocks out the sun. Only by killing all the Sky Demon Spiders will the mist dissipate."
Everyone suddenly understood that Qin Yi already knew the habits of the Sky Demon Spiders.
Qin Yi said solemnly, "Stay close to me, and once inside, activate your Protective Gang Qi to safeguard yourself. The black mist also has strong corrosive properties."
"Understood."
A hundred Peace Army members shouted in unison, their voices as loud as thunder.
"Move out!"
Qin Yi waved his hand, without any unnecessary words, and directly led them into the black mist.
"Idol, I'll wait for you to come out and take a picture with you," Zhu Di shouted.
He truly wished to join Qin Yi in slaying the Sky Demon Spiders, but his cultivation was insufficient.
Qin Yi led the Peace Army into the black mist, their bodies immediately engulfed by it, with visibility greatly reduced. Even with Xiahou Jun's cultivation, they could see no more than five meters ahead.
"Everyone, listen up, line up in one row and advance straight ahead."
Everyone followed Qin Yi's command, lining up with a gap of over three meters between each person to expand the sweep area.
Qin Yi reached out, and the Flood Dragon Spear materialized in his hand, his Divine Thought spreading out.
With his cultivation breakthrough, his Divine Thought now covered an area of about one hundred and fifty meters.
When his Divine Thought spread out, everything around him was reflected in his mind more clearly than he could see with his eyes.
Even Qin Yi got goosebumps at that moment.
Within twenty meters ahead, there were Sky Demon Spiders everywhere, large ones longer than three to five meters and small ones over a meter, numbering in the tens of thousands, densely packed, making his skin crawl.
"Although you train hard usually, the opportunity for actual combat is rare; thus, there's some lack in your battle experience. Right ahead is the best chance to hone your combat experience.
Everyone prepare yourselves; in twenty meters, get ready for a bloody battle."
Qin Yi said calmly.
Everyone looked at Qin Yi with admiration, as they couldn't see beyond five meters, yet Qin Yi knew what was happening twenty meters away.
In reality, he was aware of everything within one hundred and fifty meters ahead.
"These Sky Demon Spiders aren't very high in cultivation. The only thing to watch out for is their venom and webs. Remember, while protecting yourselves, try to achieve a one-hit kill. If I see anyone let a Sky Demon Spider escape, you'll accept punishment when we return.
If someone lets three Sky Demon Spiders escape, then resign from the Peace Army, because the Peace Army doesn't keep useless people."
Everyone's expressions turned serious, holding their weapons tightly, knowing that Qin Yi meant what he said and would absolutely follow through. Letting three Sky Demon Spiders escape would mean being kicked out of the Peace Army and losing face for life.
