Ye Shen, standing beside Qin Feng, couldn't help but speak up, "These guys are disregarding the rules and resorting to shameless tactics. They want to kill your decoy. What should we do?"
After saying this, she asked with confusion, "Are the people rushing to fight Cheng Yezi to the death truly controlled by you? How did you manage that? Could it be that your decoy's ability is to control others? You won't control me, will you? I absolutely refuse to be controlled by you. If I were controlled, it would be terrible! You'd definitely make me do things, boohoohoo..."
"I'm too miserable. In the end, I still can't escape your clutches."
Qin Feng was annoyed by her chatter. With Yuri being ganged up on, he had no mood to talk to Ye Shen, nor did he have the mood to explain the wild thoughts running through her head.
He simply replied sternly, "Don't disturb me, I'm doing important business."
After saying that, he controlled Yuri to retrieve a smoke bomb hidden on his person, pulled the pin, and threw it on the ground.
Thick smoke billowed up, making it impossible for the surrounding people to identify which one was Qin Feng. Qin Feng then seized the opportunity to blend into the crowd, making it impossible for Cheng Yezi to find him.
This smoke bomb was a super smoke bomb that Qin Feng had purchased for 500 gold.
It was 100 times more powerful than ordinary smoke bombs. The density of the smoke made it impossible to see anything within a kilometer radius. Within the coverage of the smoke bomb, visibility was only 0.1 meters, meaning people couldn't even see their own feet. In such a situation, no one could find Yuri!
Cheng Yezi was also unable to find him. His special ability allowed him to kill without a trace and gave him an absolute advantage in one-on-one combat. However, he lacked the ability to lock onto his target. In this chaotic situation, under the cover of the smoke bomb, he couldn't distinguish which of the people in front of him was Qin Feng.
Because at that precise moment, as the smoke bomb exploded, the crowd from below had already rushed forward, and Qin Feng was engulfed in the smoke along with these people, making it impossible to tell friend from foe.
"Good heavens, such dense smoke! We can't find Qin Feng at all. This scumbag is truly cunning, to have prepared such a prop beforehand."
"This looks like a smoke bomb. The smoke isn't poisonous, so everyone don't worry. It just disrupts everyone's vision, making it impossible to see those around you. That guy must be planning to escape."
"Everyone be careful, get out of the smoke-covered area as quickly as possible to prevent being ambushed by that scumbag Qin Feng."
"Yes, everyone, quickly retreat from the smoke-covered area. If Qin Feng controls us, it will be dangerous. You know that guy has the ability to control us. Let's retreat outside the smoke bomb's coverage, and after the smoke dissipates, we'll chop Qin Feng into meat paste."
"Right, everyone, retreat quickly, towards the outside of the smoke-covered area."
A rustling sound was heard as everyone scrambled to escape the smoke bomb's coverage. However, this super smoke bomb was not that simple. The moment it exploded, it could cover a kilometer radius with dense smoke, and as time passed, its coverage could reach 10,000 meters.
The area within a 10,000-meter radius would be covered by smoke, and this could last for an hour.
Such a super smoke bomb, sold for only 500 gold, was truly worth it. Its utility was immense, but it couldn't be used as a direct combat force to kill monsters and gain rewards, hence its cheapness. However, its cost-effectiveness was extremely high. Auxiliary items like this only had a significant effect when used against one's own kind; they were not very useful against monsters.
Originally, Qin Feng wasn't very interested in such auxiliary items. But when he learned that he had become a public enemy in the region, he began to focus on researching auxiliary items. This super smoke bomb was one of the essential items he had planned for before agreeing to the duel.
A few minutes passed, and the surrounding crowd became even more terrified.
"My heavens, I've walked in one direction for so long, why haven't I gotten out of the smoke's coverage?"
"Me too, I've walked a long way and still haven't escaped the smoke's coverage. Moreover, I've fallen several times. I can't even see the path under my feet. What should we do?"
"Oh no, I've been ambushed."
As this voice rang out, the fear of everyone escalated.
"It must be that scumbag Qin Feng. He's controlling someone among us and slaughtering us in the smoke. What should we do?"
"Everyone spread out. Let's maintain distance from each other. Don't gather together, to prevent being controlled by Qin Feng and killing each other."
"I've seen this kind of smoke bomb in the shop. It seems to be the 500 gold super smoke bomb. The coverage of this smoke is very wide, and everyone can't walk out. We can only wait for the smoke to slowly dissipate, so everyone stay put and wait quietly. If anyone approaches you, it must be Qin Feng, so take him down."
After saying this, everyone began to spread out, wary of Qin Feng's sneak attack.
Qin Feng, hearing everyone's words, found it somewhat amusing. In this dense smoke, he couldn't use his mind control. Yuri had to see the target to control it. In the smoke, he could do nothing but wait.
Another point was that although this super smoke bomb covered a wide area, its maximum coverage was only 10,000 meters in radius. As long as one walked in a single direction, they could get out. As for why someone said they couldn't get out, he was a bit confused. Perhaps that person had misread the description.
Dense smoke coverage that made it impossible to get out was not achievable by a super smoke bomb. That would require the Star Nebula Cloud Mist Bomb, which cost 50,000 gold.
He had originally intended to retreat after releasing the smoke bomb, as Yuri was priced at 2000 gold, and he didn't want Yuri to die here. However, when he heard everyone's fear, he decided not to leave. He would stay put and see what would happen, to see if he could find Cheng Yezi's weakness. In this dense fog, did he still have the ability to use that invisible killing method?
Thus, he began to control Yuri to make sounds, amplifying the fear.
"My heavens, I died so miserably! Qin Feng controlled others in the smoke. I was stabbed in the chest. Everyone avenge me."
"Ah! Help, I'm dying too!"
Qin Feng would occasionally utter such frightening words, making everyone's nerves taut and Cheng Yezi nervous.
Not long after, Cheng Yezi's voice echoed through the dense fog.
"You think a smoke bomb can stop me? You think I'm afraid of your petty tricks? Although I don't know where you are, as long as I kill everyone in the smoke, you'll naturally be doomed."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
