1869 The Red Mist in the Valley

Deep in the mountains on Planet Eclipse, Han Sen, Xie Qing King, Gu Qingcheng, and Little Silver, were traveling . After Xie Qing King and Gu Qingcheng became Viscounts, Little Silver became one, too .
Now Han Sen was depressed . Little Angel, Zero, and he had not been infected . If they had, it was likely they could have leveled up to Viscount with much greater ease . They wouldn’t have needed to practice half as much .
“The environment is stable for now, at least . Why don’t we bring more people to this universe, so we can grow and cultivate them? It will be impossible for us to become famous here with only a handful of people . ” Han Sen was deep in thought .
Han Sen could recruit many from the Alliance, but there were a few he did not feel safe with . One such person was Wang Yuhang . Han Sen was afraid that if he came here, the man would bring terrible luck down on him .
Because Han Sen had provided many xenogeneic genes to his friends and followers, certain people in the sanctuaries had developed very quickly . But he had made sure to only provide such things to those who were close to him . Han Sen’s resources were limited, and he couldn’t fill the needs of everybody he knew .
With the help of xenogeneic genes, though, many humans and creatures from the Fourth God’s Sanctuary had made it to the Alliance . That included Dragon Lady, Death Goddess, Red Pony, and Little Star . They had successfully ascended to the Alliance universe .
The humans who had successfully ascended included Queen, Lin Feng, Wang Yuhang, Tang Zhenliu, and Yi Dongmu . They were waiting to go to the xenogeneic universe now .
Ji Yanran and Luolan had eaten so many xenogeneic genes that they too had ascended to the Alliance . But Han Sen wasn’t yet willing to let them cross the divide . He was afraid that if they were there, they’d cause a big problem for him with their attempts to find Littleflower .
The advantage of creatures from the sanctuaries was that they could level up rather quickly by consuming xenogeneic genes . Their biggest letdown, however, was the fact that their genes were unstable . There was no telling what a creature might eventually become .

A xenogeneic that looked like a leopard came prowling out of the mountains . Gu Qingcheng, with her swordair, killed it in a single strike .
Gu Qingcheng’s powers were of swordair and not swordlight . Her green swordair was weird, and it resembled something like silk . She could kill enemies at all manners of strange angles .
“Save me some!” Xie Qing King blurted, clutching his silver book .
“You are too slow,” Gu Qingcheng said, as she was in the process of cutting up the xenogeneic body and harvesting the xenogeneic genes .
Xie Qing King did not say a word, and he merely closed his silver book .
Han Sen looked at Xie Qing King . Xie Qing King’s geno armament and power had been consistently surprising to Han Sen, and they had interested him quite a bit .
After Xie Qing King leveled up to become a Viscount, he had been able to use his silver light to draw pictures on the pages of his book . Whatever he drew could come to life, right out of the parchment . He could practically summon beasts to fight alongside him .
But the shadows he drew did have limitations . For one thing, he couldn’t pre-draw a creature, then cast it when the time for battle came . So, he had to draw his desired summons during battle, and that took time .
With Gu Qingcheng there, though, he couldn’t draw anything fast enough to fight . By the time he finished drawing something, she’d have killed the xenogeneic already . It was something that didn’t make him very happy .

Han Sen was happy, though . He wasn’t interested in Baron or Viscount xenogeneics . He wanted to find light treasure .
“What is this?” Xie Qing King looked up to the mountain, confusion etched across his face . Han Sen followed Xie Qing King’s gaze, and they examined a red mist hanging across the mountain .
But the mist hadn’t come from the sky . It arose from the mountain itself, and it looked rather weird .
“Perhaps we should go and take a look . There could be treasure!” Han Sen’s eyes shone brightly .
“Careful . We are only Viscounts, remember . If we encounter a Duke or a Marquise, only Han Sen has a Duke beast soul pair of shoes that he can use to run . We lack such things,” Gu Qingcheng said .
“Do I look like the type to run off and abandon you?” Han Sen was hurt by the comments .
“Yes . ” Xie Qing King and Gu Qingcheng answered sincerely .
Han Sen shrugged his shoulders and picked up Little Silver . Carefully, he snuck towards the place he had seen .
The red mist was like a cloud, but it rippled like a living fire . It was a stunning sight .

After the three of them got close, they found that the red mist was rising from a valley . The valley, filled up with that mist, looked like heaven . What might have lurked beyond the strange vapor, however, was something they could not see .
“Should we go in and take a look?” Gu Qingcheng looked down into the valley and frowned .
She could not see anything . The red mist was too thick for their eyesight to penetrate . It didn’t actually hurt their eyes, but it did stop them from looking at what was inside .
“I don’t know what lies inside . I’d wager it is too dangerous to go in, though . ” Even with Teeth Rabbit shoes, Han Sen did not want to take the risk . He was still too weak, and carelessness could cost him his life .
“Now you can watch me . ” Xie Qing King spoke with absolute confidence . He summoned his silver book and began casting with his wonderful silver light . He was scribbling something rather quickly .
Within a second, the shadow of a silver leopard leaped out from the pages of the book . It looked exactly like the one Gu Qingcheng had just killed . This one was just a silver shadow, though . It wasn’t comprised of actual flesh .
“You can draw anything you like with this book?” Han Sen asked with surprise .
“Yes, but they only stay around temporarily for now . I can only draw creatures that exist in the universe, too . The drawing has to be pretty accurate to generate the creature, as well . ” After Xie Qing King said that, he commanded that the leopard head into the valley .
“If you draw a King class xenogeneic, would it have King class power?” Han Sen asked .
“Of course not . The shadow’s power depends on the caster’s strength—mine . That being said, some of the creatures I have drawn can carry their own element . Still, the power scales back in comparison to me,” Xie Qing King explained .
“Whoa, that is already so very good!” Han Sen looked at Xie Qing King strangely .
Xie Qing King was a man with a very bad temper . It was strange to see him take to drawing in a fight instead of immediately using his fists .
Roar! The leopard had been inside the mist for a while when an awful screech was heard . Then, nothing . The valley returned to silence .
Xie Qing King’s face changed . The leopard drawing in the book was shattered .
“What happened?” Han Sen asked Xie Qing King .
“I don’t know, but I have a connection with the shadow . I can feel what they feel, but I cannot see through their eyes . After he entered the mist, something killed him quickly,” Xie Qing King said
