One by one, the soft tubes were tied into knots.
Energy could no longer be transported through the tubes into the black mist. It was forced to build up inside, swelling the tubes thicker and thicker.
The Main God hidden within the black mist seemed to sense the danger.
The black mist, which had only been rising and falling gently, suddenly began to churn violently. It transformed into a monstrous, terrifying beast, opening its cavernous maw and lunging viciously at Hua Manman, intending to swallow her whole.
Hua Manman shrieked in terror and scurried away in a panic.
As the black mist moved, the surrounding tubes shook with it.
By now, the tubes had swelled to dozens of times their original size. Their once-translucent surfaces were now almost completely transparent, looking as thin as a cicada's wing and exceptionally fragile.
After being violently shaken by the black mist, the tubes finally couldn't take any more. One after another, they ruptured and snapped.
