The sudden change stunned everyone.

Soon after, Ren Qi saw that all the light that had disappeared from the crystal wall had entered Risa’s hands, causing both her arms to glow.

“Risa, how do you feel? Is there any special situation?” Ren Qi looked at Risa and asked with concern.

This sudden change made Ren Qi very worried.

Risa frowned and said, “I don’t feel much. It’s like two hot streams have entered my arms. I instinctively feel that these two hot streams are not dangerous.”

Hearing her words, Ren Qi heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried.

When all the light surged into Risa’s two arms, she could clearly feel that the strong pulling force had disappeared.

She heaved a sigh of relief. After that, she slowly pulled her two arms out.

Following the pulling of Risa’s arms, the surrounding crystal wall was quickly filled with holes.

When her arm was completely pulled out, the entire crystal wall was restored to its original state. The entire wall instantly became as clean as new.

However, the flowing lights were missing, making the entire crystal wall look much more transparent.

It was even much clearer than before. One could even see the outlines of the few lights on the opposite side.

The strange situation on the crystal wall had also caused the people on the opposite side to be surprised. A few of them directly leaned on the crystal wall, wanting to see what was going on.

However, looking at their appearance, it seemed like they were still unable to see Ren Qi and the others.

Everyone’s gazes landed on Risa’s body. A rich light was flowing on her arms, just like how it had been flowing on the crystal wall previously.

Risa also lowered her head to look at the situation on her arms, not knowing what to say.

“How do you feel now?” Ren Qi looked at her and asked.

Risa frowned slightly, and then said, “I don’t feel much. I just feel that my arms are warm and very comfortable.”

Ren Qi’s frown deepened. Although Risa indicated that there wasn’t much of a problem, this abnormal situation still made Ren Qi feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, the crystal wall in front of them suddenly changed.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Following a series of grinding sounds, cracks began to appear on the crystal wall that had lost its light.

As these cracks covered the entire crystal wall, a violent sound of shattering rang out.

Bang!

The entire crystal wall instantly shattered!

However, the shattered pieces of the crystal wall did not fall to the ground. Instead, the moment they fell from their original position on the crystal wall, they turned into a dense grayish-black fog.

This fog filled the position in front of the entire crystal wall and did not dissipate.

The position in front of the entire crystal wall had turned into a grayish-black fog that filled the entire place.

This grayish-black fog seemed to have replaced the previous crystal wall.

Zhao Yuheng and the others were stunned when they saw this. They had never thought that the crystal wall would undergo such a change.

Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng, and the others looked at each other and decided to let Xuan Ming’s mechanical soldiers go forward to investigate.

Would they be able to pass through this grayish-black fog and enter the demon cave outside?

However, before Xuan Ming’s mechanical army could come forward, the surroundings began to shake violently.

The shaking was very intense!

Not only was the ground shaking, it felt like the entire space was shaking.

The violent shaking made Ren Qi and the others unable to stand still. Tian Jizi, Xuan Ming, and Li Linan even fell to the ground.

Although Ren Qi and the others were trying their best to maintain their balance, their actions were very comical.

“What’s going on? Is there an earthquake?” Tian Jizi, who had fallen to the ground, could not help but ask.

Xuan Ming shook his head and said, “It can’t be an earthquake. How can there be an earthquake here? Something must have happened.”

The Dark Elf Queen said, “I don’t feel like this place is shaking. Instead, the entire space within the black fog is shaking!”

Zhao Yuheng raised her eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean? Is the black fog changing again?”

The last time the black fog changed, new terrains appeared, and there were new monster forces. If the black fog changed again this time, what would happen?

Ren Qi’s expression suddenly changed. Then, he turned his gaze to Risa.

Based on the current situation, the sudden change in the tremors should be related to the light that surged into her arm.

However, he did not know what the relationship between the two was.

Currently, in the black fog outside, many of the new lords were hiding in their own territories. They were grabbing onto things around them to avoid being shaken by the sudden violent tremors.

The timing of this violent tremors was too sudden, and the magnitude of the tremors was extremely intense, causing them to fall to the side.

Under such circumstances, no one noticed that the previously dense black fog in the sky seemed to have become much fainter.

…

Outside the black fog, within the meeting hall of the five great countries.

“Reporting! The black fog is showing signs of abnormality. A large amount of black fog has left the area covered by the black fog previously and is beginning to spread outwards. However, there are no signs of any living creatures dying in the area covered by the black fog. There are also no signs of discomfort.”

The representatives of the five great countries looked at the scene that had appeared on the screen in front of them. When they heard the report that was transmitted into their ears, their brows were tightly knitted together.

Just a moment ago, the black fog that had been expanding slowly earlier began to shake violently. Subsequently, a large amount of black fog seemed to have been shaken and dispersed. It drifted out and spread rapidly in the surroundings.

However, this spread was not like the expansion of the black fog earlier.

If the expansion of the black fog before could be said to be like an army that was completely obedient to commands, then the black fog that was drifting out now was like a deserter that had escaped from a huge army.

It completely did not possess the mass-destruction ability of the black fog before.

Some researchers from the five great countries and had begun to conduct research in the black fog that was spreading out here.

“Everyone, this situation should be very special. The black fog should not appear out of the blue like this. It’s too strange,” The representative of the Dragon Country said slowly.

The representative of the Wolf Country said disdainfully, “Aren’t you talking nonsense? Everyone knows that this is a very special situation. The key is what is special about it and what kind of influence it will have on us.”

The representative of the Bear Country said sarcastically, “Oh, you finally said something normal. I thought that the people of the Wolf Country were not very smart.”

The representative of the Wolf Country said angrily, “What do you mean by that?!”

The representative of the Bear Country said with a smile, “Of course my words didn’t have any special meaning. What? I just praised you for being a little more normal, but your brain is starting to become muddled?”

The representative from the Wolf Country said angrily, “What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to fight?”

The representative from the Bear Country sized up the representative from the Wolf Country and said in disdain, “Just you? Don’t come looking for death.”

The representative from the Eagle Country said, “Alright, stop talking. Now is the time to discuss what to do and not bicker here.”

The Tiger Country representative said in a muffled voice, “The abnormality of the black fog has just happened. There isn’t much we can do now. We can only let some people who are able to research enter the black fog to conduct an investigation. We will talk about it after the news comes out.”

The other representatives nodded one after another. This was the only thing they could do now.

At this moment, the communicators beside the ears of each representative rang. Following that, the few of them started to listen seriously.

These communicators were used to communicate with their own country, to receive information from their own country.

Very quickly, the few of them received information from their own countries.

When they heard the information transmitted in their ears, their expressions were all different. All of them had quite a big change.

The representative of the Dragon Country looked at the expressions of the other four people. After which, he spoke, “All of you must have also received information from your own countries. The ninth tier seal has been lifted.”

“I believe that there should be quite a number of half-step Saint tier experts born in all of your countries.”

The eyes of the other four people flickered slightly when they heard the representative of the Dragon Country. However, they nodded slightly after that.

This news could not be hidden.

Previously, the lords’ troops could only reach Tier 9 at the most. However, according to research and speculation, there should be troops that were above Tier 9.

For example, half-step Saint-tier or Saint-tier troops.

However, in the past 100 years, only Tier-9 troops had been born.

However, the lords with Tier-9 troops could faintly feel that after raising their troops to the maximum level, feeding them demonic meat would still help them accumulate strength.

However, this accumulation of strength was no longer reflected in their ranks, but in their potential.

As more and more demonic meat was fed, these Tier-9 soldiers should have been able to continue increasing their strength and reach the half-step Saint tier.

However, this did not happen.

The Tier-9 soldiers were still at Tier 9 and did not make a breakthrough.

It was as if there was a power sealing their breakthrough past Tier 9.

But now, with the shaking of the black fog, this sealing power had disappeared.

The Tier-9 soldiers that had been accumulating their strength previously were able to break through and reach half-step Saint tier.

If Ren Qi were here, he would be able to discover that these soldiers that had broken through to the half-step Saint-tier had accumulated too much strength before they were able to break through.

If they possessed Holy Stones, this process would be greatly reduced!

Because they needed a large amount of time to accumulate, after the sealing force was lifted this time around, the lords that had broken through to the half-step Saint tier were all lords of the older generation.

“Looks like the black fog’s tremor this time is a good thing. At least our strength has increased quite a bit,” The Tiger Country’s representative said slowly.

The other four representatives all nodded. From the looks of it, that was indeed the case.

The black fog’s tremor had triggered the breakthrough of the ninth tier soldiers, causing the strength of the various countries to increase greatly.

This allowed them to have more confidence when facing the black fog.

The representative of the Wolf Country said, “Good news? We still don’t know if the black fog has changed again. We don’t want something to happen again.”

Hearing the representative of the Wolf Country’s words, the other four representatives looked unhappy, but they knew that this was the truth.

If the black fog had changed again, it wouldn’t be a good thing for them.

After all, the black fog had devoured a large amount of terrain.

The representative of the Dragon Country looked at the representatives around him, and his eyes flickered.

Just now, apart from receiving the news of the black fog’s change, he had also learned of another matter.

That was that the crystal walls of the demon cave that the aristocratic families had been investigating had all shattered, turning into a thick, grayish-black fog.

And this fog could not be approached or entered. It was as if it was isolated from space.

The representative of the Dragon Country still knew a little about the research of the aristocratic families. After all, some members of the aristocratic families had betrayed the aristocratic families and joined the national organization, providing a lot of information.

In this regard, the Dragon Country was far superior to the other four great countries.

Among the other four great countries, the power of the aristocratic families was a little stronger. Among them, the Eagle Country was even directly controlled by a few of the aristocratic families, or in other words, the financial magnates.

Therefore, compared to the representatives of the other four great countries, the representatives of the Dragon Country knew more information, or at least got it faster.

The representatives of the Dragon Country had known before that some of these aristocratic families had secretly researched a kind of ability.

That was to be able to pass on the power of the ancestors of the family head to their descendants.

And now, there was the appearance of a lord who had broken through to the half-step Saint tier.

These aristocratic families would probably pass on the power of the half-step Saint-tier to their descendants.

In the future, the strength of the new lords of these aristocratic families would far surpass that of the other new lords.

However, they didn’t have any good solutions right now, so they could only take things one step at a time.

The most important problem right now, or rather, the first problem they had to solve, was the black fog in front of them.

…

Within the black fog, on the icy plain.

Song Qingge and the others were gasping for breath as they looked at the snow dragons’ corpses that were strewn all around them.

“F*ck! These snow dragons are too ferocious. I didn’t expect that killing them would consume so many of our troops!” One of the new lords in Song Qingge’s team spat out a mouthful of spittle and cursed inwardly.

“You’re right. The strength of these snow dragons is definitely above Tier 9. Even though they haven’t reached half-step Saint tier, they’re still troublesome enough.”

“Fortunately, the strength of our troops has improved a lot. If they were still the same as before, we probably won’t be able to deal with these snow dragons now.”

Song Qingge also looked at the snow dragons’ corpses around him and frowned slightly.

He had lost more than ten of his thunder emperor beasts in this operation, and his heart was bleeding profusely.

However, it was enough to kill these snow dragons.

“Alright, let’s go. We can enter the secret trove now.”

Having killed a large number of snow dragons, Song Qingge quickly entered the cave where the snow dragons were hiding.

After entering the cave, there was a snow-white area. It was obvious that this was where the snow dragons lived.

Song Qingge and the others checked the situation here, but they didn’t find any traces of other snow dragons. They must have killed all of them.

Soon, Song Qingge and the others entered the cave.

When they reached the heart of the cave, Song Qingge and the others all stopped.

In front of them, there was a thick black fog.

In front of the thick black fog, there was a shining area.

Looking at the light, Song Qingge frowned.

The light was exactly the same as the one from the strange crystal he found in the snow dragon’s stomach!
