Chapter 114: Silent Power

After the entrance to the cave was sealed, he noticed that the glow from the fluorescent bottle inside the cave became brighter and brighter. At first, Cheez was very puzzled, but then immediately realized that the black mist in the air was disappearing rapidly.
As the black mist gradually thinned, Momo became increasingly irritable as waves of anger and various negative emotions were transmitted over.
His head was overwhelmed by these sudden emotional impacts, with his temples throbbing rapidly, about to slide towards the edge of losing control.
Qi Zi decisively ends his Animagus form, and his height rapidly returns to normal, but he does not disappear right away.
This situation immediately makes his heart race.
But fortunately, it just floated in its original position, and after the black mist in the cave completely disappeared, it also began to slowly dissipate.
And it disappeared without a trace soon, as if it had never appeared before.
"Shh! I thought there was going to be another big problem!"
Chiz frowned and looked around the cave, where there was no trace of the black mist. "What's going on? How can Momo silently absorb these black mists?"
Could it be that just now my spirit did not lose control because it quietly absorbed the black mist and underwent some kind of change?
However, for the time being, it seems that this change is advantageous to me, which means that using the form of the Silent One here will not be influenced by the frenzy of will bestowed by the Silent One, becoming savage, irritable, and gradually losing control.
Moreover, I don't know how powerful Mo Mo Ran is when dealing with those monsters, but it should be pretty decent. I'll find out when I go out later!
If it still maintains its power like in the outside world, Mo Mo Ran should be in the most suitable state for activities in the secret realm.
Aside from that enormous monster, almost everything else can be easily pushed aside. Combined with the protection provided by my energy shield, it can also prevent the invasion of the black mist. As long as I'm cautious, there is absolutely no need to worry about my safety!"
As Chiz shifted his gaze, the previously turned into mute Chiz had a clear reappearance of the surroundings that he had seen before in his mind.
"The range I can see is not smaller than when I am outside, so I don't have to worry about the fog affecting my vision anymore! And it's much more convenient than using my eyes to see."
It seems that the introverted one is more suited to this kind of environment! The upcoming actions will likely depend on him."
The images in the mind resemble a huge three-dimensional structure, recording the entire circular space centered around Cheeze, whether it is the empty sky or the fully packed ground, all 'seen through'.
Even though he had used this 'vision' many times before, Kez couldn't help but marvel in his mind, "This is true 'omnivision'!"
After a simple exclamation, Kez began to carefully observe the special map in his mind. Although it had no color, he could still analyze his surroundings through shapes and varying contrasts.
He keenly noticed that there were hardly any individual Mudmonsters in the open-air environment around him. Instead, in the southeast direction of the cave he was in, there was a large group of gathered Mudmonsters, all huddled together in a bunch due to the gusty wind.
The outermost layer of monsters is desperately squeezing towards the center, but they are the weakest and thinnest among the monsters, unable to squeeze into the inner layers no matter how hard they try.
Their skin constantly cracks under the gusts of strange winds, and black muddy water keeps dripping from these cracks. These outermost creatures also become increasingly weak, with many being completely blown away.
The ones inside are basically not harmed at all. If the weird wind keeps blowing without stopping, it is possible to annihilate all the black mud monsters.
Qizi's expression turned serious, "It seems that this wind not only harms people, but also has a great impact on these creatures. This should be considered good news, at least the monsters are also being restricted."
No! After the Black Muds are blown to death by the Monster Wind, the crystals inside their bodies are also shattered, which means more black mist will be produced. In other words, as the Black Muds die, the black mist around them will become denser and denser.
If the concentration reaches a very high level, will even the knight's vigor be unable to resist?
As he looked, his brows furrowed tighter, but he was completely powerless, only able to hope that he was overthinking it and that if that time comes, they will have no choice but to completely retreat.
Shaking his head, he ignores the situation over there and looks around at other places nearby. There are a few caves similar to the one he is in, which usually hide 1-2 Black Mud Monsters. There are also quite a number of creatures hiding in sheltered spots and crevices among the rocks.
"It seems that these guys also know how to avoid harm!"
As his gaze shifted, Kez noticed some empty spaces in the deep underground, with irregular shapes resembling underground caves, leading towards the distance. He thought they might be underground rivers or something similar, but he didn't pay too much attention and quickly shifted his focus elsewhere.
With the help of the map and the fluorescent bottle's guidance, Qizi has roughly determined his location and marked several possible places he might be in the direction of the rescuer.
After completing these tasks, Qizi, who now had a powerful trump card, felt more relieved. In just a few minutes, he came up with many new uses for the form of the Silent Ones here. However, it was not the time for implementation yet. He would wait until he found the Branka first.
He took a long breath and finally felt the constant sense of weakness in his body. After carefully feeling it, he realized that the magic power inside his body was almost depleted.
He started to rummage in his pocket for a magic potion and drank a bottle of magic replenisher in one gulp.
His almost depleted magic immediately replenished, and whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the surrounding black mist completely dissipated, and he became refreshed, even his mind became clearer.
"Yes! I still have my trump card, the magic potion!"
Chiz suddenly remembered the magic potion he had stuffed in his pocket earlier. These things don't require magic to be activated like spells do, and most of them have effects on oneself. They should not be affected much by the external environment, so the magic potion might come in handy here.
"However, if used in large quantities, it should be accompanied by an antidote!" He didn't want to feel uncomfortable for a long time like last time!
After re-checking the existing magic potions, when the magical power in his body felt almost restored, Qizi glanced at the fluorescent bottle next to him.
The fact that the red light is still flashing indicates that the person has not received effective rescue yet - as only after the person in distress activates a new glow stick will the red light stop flashing.
"Maybe the outside environment is slowing down the rescue speed, but who knows if anyone will go to rescue in the harsh environment?"
"There is no time to waste. If we don't find that person before the red light stops flashing, we will have to smash our own glow sticks!"
The situations he just saw outside made him more eager to reunite with Bianca. He decided to hurry up and get back on the road to search for the teammate who sent the distress signal.
After adjusting his own state a little, Chiz closed his eyes and communicated with the magic inside his body, once again transforming into the form of the Silent One.
The process was the same as before, but this time, after silently appearing, Chiz could clearly feel a difference compared to before. It seemed that because there was no black mist at all in the cave, the Silent One was even more restless, and negative emotions were constantly being transmitted towards Chiz.
He quickly waved his arms and commanded Momo to charge forward, reopening the hole that had been buried by earth and rocks.
"Boom!"
After a loud impact and explosion.
The cave was blasted open again, and the black mist outside immediately rushed in violently, almost blowing Cheez off balance.
However, he straightened his body, increased the output of his power, and wrapped his entire body in a protective aura. This had a good effect, at least he regained his stability, and the aura covering his entire body also blocked any erosion, making him feel no discomfort at all.
Momo also became jubilant again over there, constantly conveying the joyous emotions to Qiz, as if it wasn't the one that was about to plunge its emotions into the abyss of collapse just moments ago.
This further strengthened Qiz's previous judgment that the existence of the Silent One is definitely closely linked to the black mist or the creator of the black mist.
He took a deep breath and pushed all the countless doubts back into his heart, taking a step forward!
Finish the most important task at hand before thinking about anything else.
…………
The strange wind outside is much stronger than before, and he is worried that the wind with the black fog might damage his suitcase. So he put it into the storage space of the simulator.
Now he only had a traceless stretch bag and a long sword left on him, and they were all wrapped in Qi to ensure that they would not be corroded.
Qizi used the long sword in his hand as a crutch and moved forward step by step against the wind.
Momo remained silently swirling around him, involuntarily and joyously.
Shortly after coming out, he discovered the first exhilarating news - the efficiency of automatic energy collection in the simulator had greatly improved, at least five times more than before.
That is to say, previously the simulator could collect 0.006% of the energy per hour, whereas now it has become 0.03% per hour. Although it is still negligible, it is at least some good news.
Furthermore, I can hunt some monsters on my own, so I believe the day of emulator upgrade will not be too late.
He is already far away from the cave now!
I have to once again praise the incredible 'vision' of the silent one. He hung the bottle around his neck to free up his hands, yet he can still observe the bottle without even looking down.
Under the state of silence, all colors have disappeared, so Qizi can't see the red light in the fluorescent bottle now. However, the flickering of the light can still be seen, and the relatively bright position of the liquid in the bottle can be barely distinguished.
Once again, Qizi glanced at the direction indicated by the bottle and found it to be a remarkable coincidence that the direction pointed directly towards the group of huddled black mud creatures they had seen earlier.
He clenched his fists and his mouth curved slightly.
"Then let's see how effective it is to deal with these guys silently! But before that..."
Qizh turned his head towards a nearby hillside, where there was a suspended giant stone with a small pile of black mud monsters hidden in the cracks!
"To be on the safe side, let's practice with you guys first!"
He lifted the long sword stuck in the ground and swung it in that direction like a general.
Without any hesitation, the obedient ones immediately rushed over.
In the roaring wind, no explosion sound can be heard, but the giant stones and debris that were instantly shattered and crumbled into black mud monsters satisfied Qizi very much.
The prompt from the simulator also came in timely, and the obtained energy seemed to be less compared to the other black mud monsters killed before, about one-third less.
As Chizi was wondering, there came a wave of even more excitement and joy from Momo's side, with some messages like 'eat, eat. Delicious!' mixed in it.
This greatly surprised Qiz, who also tried to communicate silently, but received no other response.
He carefully sensed the message coming from the other side and discovered that it was merely a kind of instinctive expression.
Qi Zi has long known that there is an instinct in Mo Ran, and some books introducing Mo Ran have recorded this, such as automatically protecting the host in critical moments.
But there is no record of such instinct about 'eating', and Chizh discovered it for the first time today!
However, he didn't dwell too much on this issue because as long as it is still a part of the silent form of Chizh, and can be controlled at will, it doesn't matter even if it can do advanced mathematics.
After realizing this, Chez moved a distance to the side and once again swung the long sword in his hand towards a small nest of dark mud monsters hiding under another rock.
In the same manner, under the immense explosion, the rock shattered and the dark mud monsters beneath were also destroyed.
"He seems to really enjoy blasting apart Muck Monsters!"
The constant waves of joy coming from over there also affected Chiz, causing the corners of his mouth to involuntarily curl up, gradually revealing his sparkling teeth, displaying a knowing smile.
He turned his head and looked at the large group of black mud monsters gathering in the distance, licking the corner of his mouth.
"Looks like a nice meal!"
Silently obeying his will, Keiz flew over while slowly walking behind him.
When he reached that position, the originally huge monster group was reduced to only about one-third, and it was still decreasing at a terrifying speed.
Chiz noticed several very interesting phenomena.
Firstly, the black slimes that usually seek shelter abruptly stopped dodging after encountering Momo. They stood still in place, allowing themselves to be killed without resistance.
Furthermore, the amount of black mud left on the ground is very scarce, far less than the amount of mud produced by Qiz's previous use of snake venom to kill them.
Qiz carefully observed and found that when he silently collided with these black slime monsters, it seemed that their bodies were directly evaporated, and the efficiency of killing them was similar to using snake venom.
Finally, these monsters didn't produce much mist after they died, and even a small amount of black mist slowly gathered around silently.
