Chapter 199: More Functions of the Formless Clone and the Anti-Poison Suit

“This way.”

Liu Lanqing led the way and brought everyone to a gap on the cliff.

Lin Yan stuck his head out and looked down. This place was still like a natural chasm, dividing the entire ground into two. The moisture, mist, and dark green poisonous fog below were everywhere, and it was so deep that one could not see the bottom.

It was a strange silence. There was no sound.

“It’s probably because the poisonous fog has dissipated and the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches have hidden deeper into the source of the poisonous fog underground…”

At the bottom of the cliff, there was a thick grayish-black iron nail embedded every fifty to sixty feet. It was similar to the nail ladder found at the bottom of the cave. It was easy for martial artists to descend the cliff.

Ning Xiaohui explained casually, “We nailed them on previously.”

The four of them took out another antidote pill and ate it. Liu Lanqing waved her hand. “Down!”

She took the lead and left first. Wu Qinglei, Ning Xiaohui, and Fan Xiaopeng followed closely behind. As it was Lin Yan’s first time climbing this path, he stayed last.

The cliff was extremely dangerous, but the five of them were all experts with profound martial arts cultivation. Coupled with the ladder of nails, it was naturally as if they were walking on flat ground.

After climbing down for a while, Lin Yan saw that the large wooden box on Fan Xiaopeng’s back blocked their vision, preventing the other four from paying attention to him. His heart skipped a beat.

With a light touch of his finger, he found a small crack in the rock wall. Then, a Formless Clone jumped out of his fingertip, shrank into the narrow crack, and sat cross-legged.

Every two to three steps, Lin Yan would put down a Formless Clone and hide it in the rock wall. Occasionally, he would hide it and throw it out, making them spread out as much as possible.

The cliff here was mysterious and dangerous. The clones were on the cliff and looking down from above. If they could sense something, they could warn him in time.

Over the past few days, after systematically working day and night and occasionally using the Enlightenment Spiritual Light to greatly increase efficiency, not only did Lin Yan test a few Force Features, but he also discovered many wonderful uses of the Formless Clones.

For example, the Formless Clone was not an inanimate object. He could set some actions or logic for the Formless Clone in advance and make it act according to a certain rule.

For example, right now, the rule he had set for these Formless Clones was to monitor the surrounding situation without exposing themselves. If they discovered a situation that could threaten them or an accident appeared, they would call him in time.

It was equivalent to a sentry tower and an alarm.

Of course, the more complicated the rules, the more prerequisites to consider, and the more troublesome it was to set them in advance.

For example, the short setting above took Lin Yan two to four hours to prepare, making them barely adapt to the surveillance mission.

In other words, the Formless Clone was equivalent to a smart bot. The upper limit of its intelligence was very high, but he had to spend energy to “program” it in advance. The more complicated the programming, the more it could unleash its intelligence.

If he spent a lot of time and energy to set up an extremely complicated program, it could even act like a real person.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know how much time and energy it will take to do this.

“However, the smart settings of the Formless Clones can be accumulated. The rules that have already been set can be used directly next time.

“Therefore, over the years, perhaps my Formless Clone will really be able to produce high-level intelligence…”

The Formless Avatar needed energy to maintain it. If it was away from his body for too long, it would starve to death.

However, it could survive by eating, so when every Formless Clone flew out, they carried a small piece of minced meat in their arms, enough to last it for two to three days.

Of course, eating when hungry was also an order that had been programmed in advance.

As he descended to the middle of the cliff, the surrounding poisonous fog was so thin that it was almost invisible because of the surging airflow.

However, when they approached the bottom of the valley, the poisonous fog became even denser. It took on a dark green color and was extremely thick.

The space at the bottom of the cliff was larger than Lin Yan had imagined. It was as if this crack in the ground was just a narrow entrance. The lower he went, the wider it became.

Lin Yan could barely tell that this was a crack in the ground. Instead, it was as if he had entered an endless underground world.

A thin layer of pale blue light scattered from the depths of the underground world, filling the surrounding space with an unknown mystery.

Lin Yan looked up at the sky. The sky had already shrunk into a blue and white gap, like a crack in the sky.

This feeling was as if the two worlds were stacked together, and he had only accidentally fallen into this brand new world through the crack between the two worlds.

“The poisonous fog here is too strong. Let’s go to another place!”

Liu Lanqing looked down and said in a low voice. Then, she turned her palm into a claw and grabbed the rock wall, moving sideways.

The group moved along the cliff. Under the thin blue light, it was not impossible to see the things at the bottom of the cliff. Lin Yan noticed that the poisonous fog at the bottom of the cliff was extremely uneven.

Perhaps because there was insufficient air circulation, in some places, the poisonous fog was as thick as ink. However, in some other places, the poisonous fog almost dissipated completely, causing the poisonous fog at the bottom of the cliff to be uneven. It was as if it was infected by some bacteria. It was strange and terrifying.

However, Lin Yan was naturally fearless of the poisonous fog.

They followed Liu Lanqing all the way to a place with extremely thin poisonous fog. Only then did everyone continue down the cliff and step on the ground.

The ground was filled with rocks that were mixed with red and yellow. It was obvious that they only appeared deep underground.

“Pay attention to the surrounding poisonous fog!”

Liu Lanqing shouted softly.

Ning Xiaohui leaned closer to Lin Yan and whispered, “Last time, a Corpse Buddha Cockroach suddenly jumped out of the poisonous fog and almost took Fan Xiaopeng away. We have to be careful.”

Lin Yan frowned. “The Corpse Buddha Cockroach usually doesn’t leave the range of the poisonous fog, right?”

Ning Xiaohui shook her head and pointed upward. “Not up there, but here, Corpse Buddha Cockroaches occasionally jump out of the poisonous fog.”

Lin Yan was slightly shocked. Could it be that what the Corpse Buddha Cockroach needed was not the poisonous fog environment, but something else mixed with the poisonous fog?

The group formed a sharp arrow formation with Liu Lanqing taking the lead. As Lin Yan was at the Tough Realm and was “weakest”, he was arranged to be at the back.

It was convenient for him to leave behind some Formless Clones. He did not know if it was because of the Poison Transformation effect, but the clones condensed from his blood essence were extremely resistant to this poisonous fog and could withstand the poisonous fog here.

Liu Lanqing and the others had clearly explored this place and had a clear destination. They carefully passed through the place where the poisonous fog was thin and walked around the thick poisonous fog, as if they were passing through a maze.

Lin Yan found it increasingly strange. Why did the huge number of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches he saw back then disappear?

As he walked, Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “That’s…”

There were fiery red shards of glazed tiles on the ground and broken walls. This was the wreckage of the palace that he had seen embedded in the rock wall. It had actually fallen here.

There were actually two half-rotten Corpse Buddha Cockroach corpses under it. It was obvious that they were unlucky and were pressed under it.

“There’s Spirit Marrow in the Corpse Buddha Cockroach…”

Fan Xiaopeng pursed his lips. “We’ve already looked for it. The Spirit Marrow has probably been eaten by the other Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.”

Would Corpse Buddha Cockroach eat Spirit Marrow?

Lin Yan inexplicably thought of the monster that devoured the Spirit Marrow and internal organs of its own kind in the claw-shaped Spirit Marrow’s illusion.

He continued to move inwards. Under the powerful perception and caution of the group, there was no danger

The dark blue light actually slowly became brighter.

After walking carefully for about an hour, Lin Yan noticed that the concentration of the surrounding poisonous fog had clearly increased. The thin poisonous fog area was decreasing, and the thick poisonous fog was like balls of dark green mucus, becoming denser.

Liu Lanqing raised his hand and saw that Wu Qinglei and Ning Xiaohui had already used their force to block the poison from invading. She said, “Alright, take out your equipment.”

Fan Xiaopeng hurriedly put down the wooden box on his back and opened it. His eyes lit up. “I’ve seen this thing before. I think a few seniors from the White Tiger Hall used it in the ruins last time! I heard it’s very expensive!”

Lin Yan glanced at the wooden box and his pupils constricted. What was placed in the wooden box was actually… four sets of extremely special materials. They were light white and looked like protective suits!

There were four more items inside. They were obviously gas masks.

He took a deep breath. This world had once again revealed an unexpected side to him.

Seeing Lin Yan’s strange expression, Liu Lanqing thought that he was curious and explained, “This is called an anti-poison suit. Wearing a mask can completely block the invasion of poison. It’s made of a rather rare material. It’s light and tough, so it’s extremely expensive. There aren’t many sets in the entire Demon Suppression Division.”

After explaining, she specially added, “When you reach the prefecture capital in the future, you will know that this world is not like Ding’an City at all. There are many more magical creations like this.”

‘I already know…’

Lin Yan looked surprised.

When they were fully dressed, like researchers in movies from his previous life, the four of them moved their limbs.

“It’s still a little bloated and not too agile. Moreover, it’s obstructing my vision.”

“You should be content. At least I can’t feel the effect of the poisonous fog on me even when I’m breathing heavily. This anti-poison suit is indeed magical!”

After everyone adapted, Liu Lanqing, who was wrapped in an anti-poison suit, looked at Lin Yan. “The poisonous fog will be even thicker next. Is there a problem?”

Lin Yan shook his head.

“In that case, let’s continue forward and explore the underground water we discovered previously!”
