Chapter 100: The Mist
In the jungle.
"Little brother, no, I can't go anymore, it's already foggy, and if I go any further, I'll get lost, so I have to find a place to camp as soon as possible." ”
Feng Guang turned to look at Wei Xiaobao, who had been following closely behind him, with a solemn expression.
"How far can we get to Luding Mountain?"
Wei Xiaobao frowned, and found that due to the fog, the jungle where he was already not in sight was even more unclear, and he really couldn't go down, and he couldn't make sure that there was something more dangerous than the cliff in front of him.
"It's not far away, but now this situation is no longer suitable for walking, otherwise not only may you not be able to reach Luding Mountain, but you may also go farther and farther. ”
Feng Guang's face was a little pale, and he did look a little scared.
"Okay, then let's find a place to rest and see how it goes. ”
Wei Xiaobao nodded and agreed with Feng Guang's suggestion.
So, everyone found a fairly spacious open space leaning on a few boulders, gathered together to rest in place, and waited for the fog to pass.
According to Feng Guang's words, although the more open the place is, the more likely it is to be discovered by the beasts in the jungle, it is also an easier place to guard against, because the surrounding sight can be relatively clear, and if the surrounding jungle is too dense, it is likely to be found when it is bitten by the beast.
The Zhong sisters distributed some food and drink to each of them as a temporary physical supplement. I don't know what else I will encounter next, let alone how many days it will take to return, so the supply needs to be strictly controlled, and Wei Xiaobao handed over this task to the Zhong sisters.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and the overhead was blocked by dense trees, and the moonlight could not be seen at all, and the whole jungle was pitch black, and it was surprisingly quiet.
What's worse is that they originally thought that the fog would slowly dissipate, and the worst would remain the same, but they didn't expect that the fog was like this night, getting thicker and thicker, so thick that even the two people sitting together could hardly see each other's faces.
"Don't walk around, sit still, pay attention to the people around you, make sure that each other is within your sight, and report out loud immediately if you find anything!"
Wei Xiaobao looked at the already blurred crowd and reminded loudly.
With Wei Xiaobao's unusual eyesight, even he could only see a vague shadow, you can imagine how thick the fog is, and there is no sign of dissipation at all.
"Wei Ye, I can't see anything, what about the flashlight we bought? If not, turn on the flashlight." ”
"Yes, Master Wei, it's so dark, even if it's really dangerous, we can't see anything. ”
The crowd began to panic, and someone suggested turning on the flashlight and shining it on.
"No, if there is a beast, you turn on the flashlight and tell the beast that you're here. ”
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and rejected this brainless suggestion.
In this way, a group of people sat silently together, waiting for the dawn and waiting for the fog to dissipate. Although most of them were physically exhausted, and their bodies could not bear it for a long time, but at this time, no one was sleepy, one by one, and they were all engrossed in paying attention to the movements around them.
......
"Pony, pony!"
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd.
The people who had already relaxed their vigilance, and were frightened by this scream, regained their spirits and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Everyone, stay put!"
Wei Xiaobao shouted for the first time, then got up and walked in the direction where the voice came from, and the Zhong sisters also followed.
When Wei Xiaobao came to the place where the voice came from, he found that the two black-clothed instructors were already standing there.
"What's going on?"
Wei Xiaobao frowned and asked.
"Master Wei, someone is missing. ”
In a blur, one of the instructors looked at Wei Xiaobao and reported with a solemn expression.
"Gone?"
Wei Xiaobao's eyes narrowed, and a hint of foreboding came to his mind.
"That's right, everyone was holding hands for fear of something, but just now someone suddenly found that his companion had disappeared inexplicably, and he didn't hear any movement. ”
The instructor reported what he had just learned, and his voice was slightly distorted.
Listening to this instructor's words, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help frowning even tighter.
"Pony, where are you?"
"Ponies?"
Someone in the crowd had begun to shout out the names of their vanished companions, hoping for a response.
"Don't shout, don't shout, you'll bring the beast!"
Feng Guang staggered to Wei Xiaobao's side and reminded anxiously.
"Wow~~~~"
But just as Feng Guang's words fell, a terrible roar came from a distance, loud and hostile.
"Beast!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in horror.
Then the crowd began to panic, and some were at a loss.
"Shut up!" Wei Xiaobao turned his head and glared in the direction of the loud shout, and continued: "If anyone dares to shout loudly again, I will throw him out and feed the beast!"
After listening to Wei Xiaobao's words, the crowd all quieted down, and no one dared to speak anymore.
Wei Xiaobao took the Zhong sisters around cautiously in the vicinity, but they didn't find anything, and they couldn't see any shadows of wild beasts.
"Someone is missing again!"
Suddenly, another exclamation came.
Wei Xiaobao quickly rushed over and found that the situation was the same as just now, and someone disappeared inexplicably.
This time, even Wei Xiaobao was a little panicked. It's not that you're afraid, it's because you can't find a reason, you don't even know what the danger is, how can you be afraid? What are you afraid of?
"It's over, we can't get out, it must be the mountain god who guards Luding Mountain who is angry and wants to leave all of us behind, we are dead!"
At this moment, Feng Guang suddenly seemed to be crazy, walking back and forth in place, his trembling hands kept pulling his hair, like a madman.
"What are you talking about?!Don't disturb the morale of the army!"
Wei Xiaobao glared at Feng Guang, who was crazy, and warned in a deep voice.
"It's not that I'm disturbing the morale of the army, to tell you the truth, it's the first time I've seen such a big fog in my decades here, and the two people who suddenly disappeared, can you explain it? Yes? It must be because we trespassed on Luding Mountain, so the mountain god was angry, and those two people must have been captured by the mountain god!"
"I have heard a legend that says that Luding Mountain is guarded by the mountain god, and those who dare to offend Luding Mountain will all be left here and will never be able to leave!"
The more Feng Guang spoke, the more he looked like a madman, laughing and crying for a while, and it seemed that he had been frightened.
"I paid you to let you lead the way, not to let you say crazy things to shake the hearts of the army, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I kill you!"
Wei Xiaobao grabbed Feng Guang's collar and stared at Feng Guang's eyes tightly, his voice cold.
Listening to Wei Xiaobao's words, Feng Guang closed his mouth, but the expression of horror and despair still hung on his face.
"Whew~~~~~"
Once again, the beast's roar resounded throughout the forest.
