Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 319 - 317: Escape

At the same time as "Du Danmin," the red mist in the valley burst forth like a fountain, instantly enveloping the entire peak.

"Damn it! The vampiric creature is here!"

Wu Tingjue cursed as he witnessed the scene.

He immediately ordered his adjutant to gather the soldiers.

Unfortunately, the soldiers, in utter terror, were rolling and crawling down the mountain, unable to be called back, let alone assembled.

"Mr. Leonard, that creature is definitely here!"

"We can’t stay here any longer; we must leave now!"

Within the red mist, visibility was extremely low.

Fortunately, Leonard was tall and stout, making him easy to locate.

Wu Tingjue reached out to grab Leonard and urgently said.

"Wu, we can take the helicopter to leave!"

Leonard, after all, was the leader of the Eagle Country’s investigation team, and even though others were scared out of their wits, he still managed to remain calm.

"Mr. Leonard, given the current situation, I’m afraid..."

Wu Tingjue said, glancing upward.

At this moment, the red mist had almost obscured the sky, even enveloping the armed helicopters in the air.

Before Wu Tingjue could finish speaking, he saw an armed helicopter inexplicably crash into the other side of the mountain.

"Boom!"

A dazzling fireball erupted, and the deafening explosion seemed almost to shatter everyone’s eardrums present.

"Fuck! There’s something wrong with this red mist!"

The blast wave hit, and Leonard suddenly felt a sticky sensation on his face.

He wiped his face with his hand and found it was covered in blood.

When he turned to look at Wu Tingjue again, the latter’s face was also covered in blood stains.

"This red mist seems to be... evaporating our blood!"

After observing for a while, Wu Tingjue was shocked to discover that his pores were oozing blood.

And as the red mist became denser, the bleeding accelerated.

"Mr. Leonard, we can’t wait for the helicopter anymore!"

"The pilots can’t see the surroundings in this red mist."

"And with the blood continually evaporating, no one can hold on for long!"

Wu Tingjue suddenly realized the cause of death of the bodies outside the Tengxin Park office building.

Those people must have ventured too deep into the red mist, lost a massive amount of blood to its evaporation, and died from hemorrhagic shock.

"Okay, Wu!"

"You’re right, let’s get out of here first!"

Leonard took a deep breath and said, helplessly.

This failed mission was primarily his responsibility.

But that was something to deal with later.

Right now, survival was the most important thing!

Wu Tingjue, with the adjutant, Leonard, and others, frantically fled down the path they had come up.

Before reaching halfway down the mountain, the adjutant following Wu Tingjue suddenly collapsed.

Everyone instinctively stopped.

Turning around, they saw the adjutant’s face was deathly pale, devoid of any trace of blood.

A faint mist of blood steamed off him like vapor.

Once detached from the body, the blood vapor quickly merged into the blood mist.

In an instant, everyone oddly felt...

That the pervasive blood mist was entirely composed of living people’s blood essence!

This scene scared everyone so much they trembled uncontrollably.

Everyone looked around at each other, whether it was a soldier, the Deputy Commander, or a foreigner, all had a layer of blood filth and stains on their exposed skin.

"Go! Go quickly!"

"Otherwise, we’re all going to die here!"

Wu Tingjue dared not stay and hurriedly urged the others to continue fleeing down the mountain.

But as they ran, more and more people inexplicably fell to the ground.

The blood mist, like the Reaper, continually swung its scythe, reaping the lives of the living.

"Why has the blood mist become so thick all of a sudden?"

Seeing they were nearing the foot of the mountain, Wu Tingjue suddenly stopped.

"What is it, Wu?"

Leonard had planned to keep going.

But realizing that without Wu Tingjue, he might have already died, he stopped involuntarily.

"Something’s wrong here!"

"Very wrong!"

Wu Tingjue said, feeling his hair stand on end and a fear he had never felt before.

It felt as if something dangerous awaited him here, a feeling of unprecedented terror.

"Wrong?"

Leonard, hearing this, looked around without finding anything unusual.

"Let’s hurry!"

"If we don’t go now, you’ll end up like those soldiers, drained of your blood!"

Leonard hurriedly pulled Wu Tingjue, continuing trying to run forward.

"Ah!"

Just then, a scream suddenly pierced their ears.

It sounded startlingly close.

They quickly scanned the surroundings and noticed a black coffin floating in mid-air in the nearby woods.

This black coffin was all too familiar to them.

So when they first saw it, everyone trembled in fear, their legs even losing control.

As the coffin lid slowly shifted open, a dried corpse was thrown out directly.

Everyone looked down and was horrified.

More than a dozen dried corpses lay scattered across the forest floor.

It was easy to identify their identities from the clothes on these dried bodies.

Some were members of the Minma Investigation Team; others were from the Eagle Country investigation team.

Wu Tingjue’s personal troop soldiers and Eagle Country Special Forces were also among them.

The creature hidden in the coffin held no racial or identity bias; whether Minma or Eagle Country, it spared none.

"Gulp... gulp..."

Wu Tingjue and Leonard swallowed hard.

Because they noticed, the black coffin was rapidly approaching their direction.

"Run separately!"

At this moment, Wu Tingjue cared no longer for Leonard.

Preserving his life was the utmost priority!

He chose a random direction and, ignoring everyone, focused solely on one thing—run!

Running headlong, Wu Tingjue felt his steps becoming unsteady, his breathing growing labored.

He thought of the adjutant who had fallen by his feet earlier, recalled the soldiers who had fallen along the path.

"No, I can’t die!"

"I must become the King of Minma!"

This strong conviction propelled Wu Tingjue to keep running forward.

He didn’t know how long he had been running, but he found the blood mist around him thinning.

"I’ve escaped!"

"I’ve finally escaped!"

Wu Tingjue grinned wide, unable to suppress a burst of wild laughter.

But just then, he suddenly felt a hand gently resting on his shoulder.

"No... no... no..."

With a slight pressure from the hand, Wu Tingjue suddenly felt an overwhelming force, and he was snatched away entirely.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, all was dark around him.

Only a faint slit overhead let in a feeble light.

With this dim light, he barely made sense of his surroundings.

He was certainly inside that black coffin!

But why hadn’t he seen the vampiric creature?

And as he puzzled over this, he suddenly felt an intense pain on his neck, like being stabbed hard with a thick needle.

Soon after, everything turned black...
