BXBX NOVEL Chapter 199: Blocker
In the base, Leiden voiced his speculation.
He then added, "I remember very clearly that Ms. Norma at that time controlled an extraordinarily powerful force. It was as if she were the queen of spatial elements, capable of unleashing endless spatial spells with ease, and she could single-handedly defeat terrifying monsters."
Monsters?
Enzo\'s expression changed slightly, worried about Norma\'s safety.
However, based on Leiden\'s description, those monsters did not seem to pose a threat to Norma.
Still, Enzo asked, "Leiden, how can we get to that place?"
Leiden shook his head.
A hint of longing flashed in his murky eyes, but he sighed and said, "I don\'t know. In fact, I would very much like to enter that place again. Although it is filled with all sorts of terrifying monsters, it is also full of opportunities.
Unfortunately, after I left, I have visited Blood Shadow Canyon several times but have never been able to re-enter."
"I feel like I am being kept out."
"It seems that there is some sort of will in that place, selecting people, and I am not qualified."
Leiden was quite dejected.
In that moment, he seemed to age considerably.
Enzo did not press further and instead gestured for Leiden to go and rest.
With the information about Norma from Leiden, the search efforts in the base came to a temporary halt. Xavior, following Enzo\'s new orders, instructed people to gather everyone at the current base.
The group was puzzled but chose to follow the orders.
After the command was given, Xavior, along with Sandra, approached Enzo once more and asked, "Mr. Enzo, is this really going to work? Shouldn\'t we try it first to see if the plan is feasible before informing everyone?"
"There\'s no need."
Enzo directly shook his head, his finger lightly tapping the air, producing a silvery glow at his fingertip. After the appearance of this glow, it seemed that something became stabilized. Even a supernatural being like Xavior, whose powers were not particularly strong, could sense something.
He asked in surprise, "Mr. Enzo, what is this…?"
Enzo smiled and replied, "Xavior, as you can see, the plan is successful."
Xavior was overjoyed.
He stood there like a statue, his eyes wide and his mouth open, unable to express his excitement. Eventually, he could only exclaim, "Mr. Enzo, you\'re truly amazing!"
Sandra was equally excited.
Tears in her eyes, she asked, "Mr. Enzo, can I go find Per once we\'re out?"
Enzo, of course, would not refuse such a request.
He nodded and said, "Of course, that\'s fine."
After their conversation, the two left with joyful hearts, while Enzo once again tapped his finger lightly. The silvery light smoothed out the spatial fluctuations around him, and with the increasing infusion of spatial elemental power, the space in front of Enzo was stabilized.
This meant that the area of space could no longer shift randomly.
In other words, Enzo solved the greatest challenge of leaving.
Enzo continued to infuse spatial energy. Upon reaching a limit, he extended his hand as if grasping something, though it appeared empty.
However, with mental perception, one could discern that what Enzo was holding was actually a piece of stabilized space, invisible to the naked eye but real nonetheless.
This led Enzo to reflect.
"The Misty World is indeed marvelous."
"The space here is extremely unstable, but once stabilized, it can be easily solidified and cut for use in creating special spatial storage equipment."
"This could serve as an alternative method."
"As long as there are enough spatial storage devices, the loss during transportation can be minimized, with the only cost being time, unless we can find sufficient Spatial Stones..."
Enzo murmured to himself and then looked at the other members leaving the base one by one.
These people were gradually leaving the base and, under Xavior\'s instructions, were heading to other bases to gather the remaining members of the Misty World.
Many questioned the orders, but Xavior, having been instructed by Enzo not to reveal the true reason for summoning the others, did not disclose it. As a result, there was much speculation and discussion within the base.
Enzo did not concern himself with these matters.
This was part of the plan and something Enzo intended.
He wanted to bring these people under his control!
Those who could venture deep into Blood Shadow Canyon and survive in the Misty World were not ordinary individuals. Among them were seasoned members who had survived for many years and those who had grasped the element patterns.
If these people were to return to Dark Night Forest, they would be a formidable force not to be ignored.
If he could recruit them...
The benefits were evident.
Thus, Enzo had formulated a new plan—to take everyone with him when they left.
Of course, individuals like Macas were not part of this plan.
Enzo instructed Xavior to keep the detailed plan confidential and only to gather the members from other bases. This served as a test: those who chose to come demonstrated their willingness to follow orders, and Enzo would take them with him.
Those who chose not to come would remain in the Misty World.
After a moment, Enzo withdrew his gaze.
He took a piece of beast skin from the side, preparing to integrate the solidified space into it to create storage equipment.
This process wasn\'t difficult, but unfortunately, the beast skin was too ordinary to accommodate much of the solidified space.
After some manipulation, Enzo ended up with a piece of beast skin capable of storing one cubic meter of items.
"This can be improved. I should try using other materials."
Enzo thought. He looked at the beast skin, placed it into a small world, and then took out several pieces of Spatial Stone.
Under the intense heat of the flames, the Spatial Stone melted and was then shaped into bracelets. Since Spatial Stone inherently possesses spatial elemental properties, it could accommodate more solidified space.
With nothing else to do, Enzo made over a hundred space storage bracelets, each capable of holding hundreds of cubic meters.
And after finishing all of this, it was already three days later.
The number of people in the base had doubled, including several members who wielded supernatural powers. This indicated that they had also grasped the element pattern, or Primal Power as Xavior called it.
Consequently, these people were quite demanding.
"Xavior, give us a reason why everyone was called back? Also, Macas was killed by an outsider—this is an outright provocation against us!"
One of them accused.
Xavior remained calm and said slowly, "Erdos, don\'t be so hasty. The reason I called you all back is that Chief Enzo has found a way to leave this place. Of course, if you don\'t wish to leave the Misty World, you can choose to leave the base. I won\'t stop you."
Leaving the Misty World!
The news hit like a stone dropped into a calm lake, immediately creating a huge stir.
Erdos, unable to contain his excitement, asked urgently, "Xavior, is this really true?"
Xavior responded, "Do I need to lie to you?"
Erdos pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If Chief Enzo can truly take us out of the Misty World, I am willing to follow him forever!"
"So am I!"
"I swear by the Dark Night Goddess!"
"..."
The crowd shouted loudly.
Even Xavior hadn\'t anticipated such a reaction.
After all, he was somewhat different from these people.
Before entering this Moon Tide Misty World, Xavior\'s strength was not particularly impressive, and the boost from supernatural powers was minimal.
However, the others were genuine powerhouses, especially Erdos, who controlled a major force before entering the Misty World and was quite influential in the Dark Night Forest.
As a result, upon entering the Misty World, he instantly turned into an ordinary person.
Even worse, he was pursued by the native inhabitants of the Misty World and nearly became their food, which made him desperately want to leave.
Most others were in a similar situation.
During the heated discussion among the group, Enzo stepped forward.
Seeing Enzo, Erdos immediately asked, "What should we do?"
Enzo replied lightly,"Just follow along."
Over the past three days, Enzo\'s understanding of spatial elemental power had deepened further. He had thoroughly researched various spatial spells, even mastering instant casting, and his own strength had increased significantly.
He had also become more proficient at stabilizing space.
Walking ahead of the group, Enzo concentrated spatial elemental power in his hand, shaping it into silver-white threads. These threads vanished into the air, stabilizing the constantly shifting space.
Sensing all this, Erdos was horrified.
He couldn\'t understand how Enzo managed to do it, but it certainly solved the problem. There was hope that they could escape the cursed Misty World!
The group became excited once again.
However, at that moment, Enzo suddenly stopped and looked at the area shrouded in mist ahead.
Xavior asked, "Chief Enzo, what\'s wrong?"
Enzo\'s eyes narrowed as he said, "The monsters are coming."
In the next moment, many red-colored monster figures appeared from the mist, surrounding everyone. The leader among them was an old friend of Enzo\'s—the chieftain from his previous camp.
However, the chieftain was now also in monster form.
Taking a step forward, the chieftain shook his head and said, "Kid, I really underestimated you. You managed to get this far, but since you\'re in the Misty World, why are you in such a hurry to leave? If you leave as food, we\'ll be hungry and unhappy."
