Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Heading to the Center of Black Lake

"This charm ability is truly formidable.

However, your ability has no effect on me.

If you obediently hand over the Treasure Map Fragment, I might spare your life.

Otherwise, the consequences that follow will be something neither of us wishes to see."

Having just experienced that situation, Luo Feng had gained some understanding of the Man in Black's strength.

Just a single glance from her had such an intense effect.

Luo Feng couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be if she actively used this ability.

What puzzled Luo Feng was that he could sense the Man in Black didn't seem inclined to use this ability deliberately.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths—wearing black robes, a mask, and covering herself completely.

Could there be some special significance behind this?

Though Luo Feng didn't know her intentions, it was better not to let her use that ability.

He was genuinely worried he might not be able to resist.

But no matter what, he absolutely had to obtain the Treasure Map Fragment.

After all, this was the last piece.

If the Man in Black refused to cooperate, Luo Feng would have no choice but to act.

Hearing Luo Feng's words, the Man in Black's expression shifted rapidly.

She had just been exposed to Luo Feng and his group, and before she could even confront him, he had the audacity to demand the Treasure Map Fragment from her—this was truly too much.

But when the Man in Black saw the Ice-Fire Being and the Icefire Lotus surrounding Black Tortoise, her desire to fight instantly diminished by half.

This human's abilities were far too overpowering.

Against any ordinary creature below level 6, this combo would likely be fatal.

The Man in Black no longer had any intention of fighting Luo Feng.

Since she couldn't win, retreat was the only option.

Besides, she still had an ally—Black Commander.

Black Commander's combat prowess was formidable.

If the two of them joined forces, they should be able to eliminate these humans.

With that thought, the Man in Black wasted no more time and flew toward the center of Black Lake.

Seeing her sudden retreat, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned before breaking into a smile—this was exactly what he had anticipated.

If the Man in Black couldn't defeat him, she would surely flee.

Now, he would finally get to meet the legendary Black Commander. Luo Feng couldn't help but feel excited.

"Let's move. Head for the center of Black Lake."

At Luo Feng's command, Black Tortoise swiftly crawled into Black Lake.

The moment it entered the water, its speed increased dramatically.

It quickly closed the distance to the Man in Black.

Now, Black Tortoise's speed was on par with hers—this was its natural advantage in water.

A turtle's speed in water versus on land was like night and day.

That's why pet turtles should always be given plenty of time in water.

Black Lake was teeming with Black Ghouls.

The moment Luo Feng's group entered the Black Mist, these ghouls went berserk, swarming toward them like mad.

And this was with a 30-meter-long Black Tortoise moving at such speed.

These Black Ghouls had no ability to resist at all.

Any Black Ghoul that appeared before the Black Tortoise was instantly smashed to pieces.

After several minutes of travel.

Luo Feng and the others finally approached the small island.

By now, they could clearly see the appearance of the Black Commander.

A black egg came into view, shocking everyone present.

What astonished them even more was that this Black Egg actually had a mouth, eyes, hands, and feet—it was truly bizarre.

The Merfolk Queen, who had lived her entire life underwater, had never seen such strange creatures before.

With an expression of amazement, she said, "So black, and such a big egg.

It even has limbs—this is my first time seeing something like this."

When Tang Xuewei saw this large black egg, a name surfaced in her mind—Black Commander?

Having come from the real world, she was somewhat familiar with certain media depictions.

Just as Luo Feng and the others neared the island, several Black Water Walls rose from the lake, blocking their path.

The Black Commander had already learned from the Man in Black about the events that had occurred on the shore.

Of course, the Man in Black hadn't mentioned the destruction of his clothes.

At this point, the Black Commander still didn't know her true identity.

The Black Commander's expression was extremely grim—his face darkened.

At such a critical moment, humans had come to cause trouble.

This truly displeased him.

Glaring at the humans in the distance, he roared, "

What are you humans doing in my territory?

If you leave now, I, the Black Commander, can promise to spare your lives.

I'll overlook your previous actions.

"

Luo Feng looked at the Black Water Wall before him and smiled faintly, saying, "

Isn't that a rhetorical question?

In the other Mist Zones, large numbers of Black Ghouls have already appeared—you must be behind this, right?

Do you know how many animals have died at the hands of these Black Ghouls?

As a man of justice, I couldn't stand by.

So I came to deliver divine retribution."

Hearing Luo Feng's words, the Black Commander let out a strange laugh and sneered, "

So that's what this is about.

There are no humans on Mist Island—you must be from outside, right?

The deaths of these animals on Mist Island have nothing to do with outsiders like you.

This is Mist Island's own affair.

Besides, their deaths aren't meaningless.

They're contributing to something monumental.

I believe this is what they truly desire.

To leave Mist Island.

Every creature born on this island has never once stepped beyond its borders.

The Lecherous Ghost Clan has it even worse—confined to their Colored Mist Zones, never even glimpsing other regions.

These creatures yearn to venture out and see the world beyond.

And now, I'm making their dreams a reality, step by step.

Already, the Black Ghouls can freely pass through the Color Boundaries.

We're close to achieving the ultimate goal—all creatures freely entering and leaving Mist Island.

Now, do you understand my grand vision?

"I also hope you won't meddle in other people's business.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Black Commander began to reveal his true intentions. It wasn't that he was foolish to say so much to Luo Feng—he deliberately spoke this way.
