Chapter 300
Shen Ge’s flashy move earlier might have looked cool, but it had burned through a ton of miasma energy. He had no choice but to bite into a Spirit Apple to recharge.
He hadn’t meant to show off—but from Fang Mingyue’s perspective, it definitely came across as a little disrespectful toward the domain itself.
Now wasn’t the time for jokes, though. Fang Mingyue swept her gaze over the city defense soldiers that Shen Ge had taken down, and asked with a hint of concern, “Shen Ge, are they…?”
Shen Ge replied, “Relax, they’re not dead yet… But whether they pull through depends on their own willpower. All I could do was yank them out of the miasma’s grip. The experience takes a heavy toll on their minds. Waking up again is entirely up to them.”
“I… understand.” Fang Mingyue nodded. She couldn’t ask Shen Ge to try and snap those soldiers out of it—he’d only joined the shelter today and had immediately thrown himself into rescue work, pulling people out of the domain without holding back. Just that alone spoke volumes about his character.
In truth, Shen Ge could wake up those trapped in deep hallucinations. But it would require one-on-one hypnotic intervention, possibly even entering their dreams to pull them out—similar to what he’d done with Wang Han. That wouldn’t just drain a massive amount of miasma energy—it would also require Dream Fragment power for domain invasion. Shen Ge didn’t have that kind of time, nor was he willing to spend such precious resources on a world that had already reached its “ending”—especially for complete strangers.
He wanted to keep tracking the “giant whale” in the sky, but noticed that after he’d expanded his domain, the creature had climbed higher, and the thick “storm clouds” had grown even heavier, as if the whale was releasing more miasma to bulk up its defenses.
“Is it aware of me? Or… something else?” Shen Ge pondered for a moment, then turned to Fang Mingyue.
“Have you ever seen the hidden seven-tier aberration in the capital?” he asked.
