The wind blew.
The iron gate trembled with cold shrillness.
The dried leaves of late autumn were scooped up, sharp as knives, scraping against the metal surface with piercing sounds that indicated the strength of the wind.
But even so... the fog remained thick.
Such a strong wind could not disperse the thickness, as if it were imprisoned within an invisible air niche.
Inside the factory, everything was blanketed in whiteness.
Covered in dense fog, this was the core area where the "sealed object" was located... but within the dense white fog, a glaring red light permeated, and the ground of this old factory, cracked like a volcano, streamed with red lines, interwoven like a molten lava pool.
Shi Li squatted at the intersection of the octagonal red patterns.
He took a sealed iron can from his bosom and twisted the mouth of the can, from which a crimson fluid, blood-like, slowly poured out.
This blood-like substance was none other than Extraordinary Essence!
