Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Desperate Situation: The Misty Stone Forest
Li Youcai repeatedly looked at the information of the Misty Stone Forest in front of him, and this Misty Stone Forest looked like the mortality rate was not very high. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net
This is because explorers have figured out its rules for thousands of years, so as long as they can get out before the rope is cut, then they can maximize their survival.
Especially for the monks of the Mahayana period, no one is immune to the ability to deceive people in the fog, no matter how high the cultivation is, they will eventually fall into the mental magic realm, but the higher the cultivation, the longer the person can persevere.
Mahayana monks are able to hold out the longest, so they are the least likely to fall, and the only problem they have to worry about is the rope.
Theoretically, nothing in this world is invincible and indestructible.
Even if it is a taxi from Rhapsody, there is an upper limit for bearing, but the upper limit for taxis is relatively high.
And the rope of exploring the poetry of the stone forest, it is difficult to raise the upper limit of bearing to such a high level.
Therefore, countless cultivators have used their lives to explore for those who come after them the length of time the rope has been cut.
Normally, explorers use a cost-effective rope that can hold out for about an hour under attack by the Mist Assassins.
In other words, as long as you follow the rope for an hour, then you won't have any problems, provided that your own cultivation can resist the psychedelic power of the fog for an hour.
So far, no one has been able to search the entire stone forest in an hour.
Li Youcai didn't prepare the rope in advance, so if he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, he would have to use this universal rope or spend a lot of money on a high-grade rope.
If that's all there is to it, this Misty Stone Forest is not a desperate situation in itself, but just a relatively difficult adventure holy place to attack.
What really makes the Misty Stone Forest a desperate situation is the blood mist that appears from time to time.
Every once in a while, the white mist will suddenly turn blood-red, and once the blood-colored mist appears, all life that enters the fog will disappear.
The timing and scope of the blood mist is never fixed, sometimes not once for months, and the shortest record is three times in a row in seven days.
When the range is smallest, it only surrounds the stone pillars, and when the range is largest, there is no grass growing in a radius of 100 miles.
This blood-colored mist is the biggest reason why this place is called a desperate situation, especially since the frequency range of its occurrence is irregular, or no one has discovered its pattern so far.
It's been more than seventy days since the last time the blood mist appeared.
No one knows when the next blood-colored mist will appear, and everyone can only collect as much spiritual jade dew as possible before this blood-colored mist arrives.
Li Youcai didn't think about driving a taxi inside, but the size of the taxi decided that it was not suitable for such an expedition.
According to known information, there are many small crevices in the stone forest.
Those gaps are obviously impossible for taxis to pass, and according to previous expeditions, sometimes they seem to be dead ends, but for some small or deformed races, they can be passed through the gaps.
There is also a rope tied to a taxi, and the perception of the rope is definitely not as good as tying it around your waist.
If you drag in the person with the rope outside, it will be more than worth the loss.
Tie the rope around your waist and leave a crack in the window? The fog coming in through the crack is no different from not driving.
What's more, what Li Youcai wants to reach is the Stone Forest Center, this kind of unprecedented destination, it is really difficult to predict what he will encounter.
Thinking of the ancients, Li Youcai's heart suddenly flashed with inspiration. I'm not the first person to take on the task.
The people who came to collect madness before should also collect eighteen madness like this, so if you say that, Sun Wukong should have also entered the depths of the stone forest before.
Li Youcai couldn't help but feel active, should he bother his senior brother and them to help introduce Sun Dasheng?
He thought about it carefully, and then went to check some information, and finally determined that it was useless to introduce him.
The skeletal whale also said before that Sun Wukong was transported before the formation of the Sea of Freedom, and there was definitely no misty stone forest at that time.
While he may have been through other trials, it may not be helpful for his current transportation mission.
And I heard from the senior brothers before that the Yuxu Palace was very unhappy with the Buddha Tuling Mountain because of the affairs of the people of Xiangyun Dao, and for the sake of a news that was probably not needed, let the senior brothers pull down their faces and ask Sun Wukong? Li Youcai is not so selfish.
Therefore, after Li Youcai finished reading all the information, he decided that regardless of 3721, he would conduct a field investigation first, as long as he didn't get into it hot, and didn't encounter the spread of blood mist, then it should be very easy to just do a peripheral investigation.
As soon as he thought of it, Li Youcai first summarized some of the dangerous characteristics of the Misty Stone Forest.
For example, although there is no sign before the blood mist appears, it must only cover the area of the stone forest when it first appears, and if it spreads, it will also spread after a few breaths, which means that as long as you don't enter the stone forest, there is still hope of escape.
Also, the white mist usually does not exacerbate the range of the stone forest, but after all, there is a stream of water all around, and occasionally one or two streams float out, which will also affect the creatures outside, so even if you are on the periphery, you must be careful.
Li Youcai recorded seven or eight precautions like these, read them over and over again, imprinted them deep in his brain, and then drove to the Misty Stone Forest.
I encountered several waves of robbers on the way, but the strength of these people was generally around the diamond (Yuan Baby), and occasionally there was a grandmaster (distraction).
These people couldn't break through the taxi's defenses at all, and they didn't even have the means to effectively restrict the taxi's movement, so they were rushed over by Li Youcai.
After the last attack of the six desperate creatures, Li Youcai discovered the invincibility limit of the taxi.
The upper limit of its endurance is actually the peak of the Mahayana period.
Once the Sect Master God descends, then the taxi will not be able to resist it.
The previous six desperate situations launched attacks on him, although it was only a tentative attack and did not really hurt the taxi, but Li Youcai had already received the warning that he was about to break through the upper limit.
This is also the first time he knows where the invincibility ceiling of a taxi is.
Although the sect leader is a true god, he usually doesn't make a move on a small person like him, but the fact that the taxi is not really invincible still sounded the alarm for Li Youcai and made him think more about things when he did things.
Not long after, while Li Youcai was thinking wildly, he arrived around the Misty Stone Forest.
This is exactly the same as what you see in the materials, all the stone pillars seem to be printed in a mold, and the appearance is exactly the same.
And the stone pillars were completely shrouded in white mist, and only the outermost two rows of stone pillars could be seen in the shadows, and it was impossible to see clearly further down.
In the distance, I don't feel anything when I look at this stone forest.
When the vehicle drove closer, it was found that each stone pillar was like an optimus pillar, with a diameter of dozens of meters and a height of hundreds of meters.
As soon as Li Youcai arrived, he saw that the stone pillar was ineffective and silent, and he changed positions several times.
If it weren't for his eyes glued to the stone pillar, it would have been easy to miss.
Like Li Youcai, there are still many people who observe outside the stone pillar.
Some of them had ropes in their hands, apparently with partners or teammates entering the stone forest.
There are also some who simply observe the stone pillars here, hoping to understand the mystery of this misty stone forest.
Li Youcai took a look at the cultivation of the people around him, some high and some low, but everyone behaved fairly peaceful here, and there was no fight.
This is also mentioned in the previously checked information.
Around this misty stone forest, people will instinctively choose a truce, after all, they don't know when, blood mist will be generated.
Once the blood mist appears, giving people a chance to escape for a moment, once they don't react, they will die in Huangquan.
Of course, this truce instinct is only relatively speaking, once someone appears with a heavy treasure, then there will still be a fight.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Youcai first found a place where no one was there and put away the taxi, after all, this thing is also a treasure.
Then he slowly approached the stone forest and carefully examined the desperate situation.
As he looked around, he seemed to hear someone calling to him, the voice fluctuating as if it were nothing.
Li Youcai couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, and could only tell that this voice wanted to let him enter this stone forest.
Although the voice was peculiar, Li Youcai did not feel the power of psychedelia in it.
As he listened to the voice, he walked towards the stone forest, until he reached the outermost stone pillar.
Even as the water drifted back and forth, Li Youcai came into contact with a little fog, and he still didn't feel the slightest psychedelic power.
It seems that the voice is simply conveying a message.
Li Youcai looked left and right, made sure that there was no one nearby, and took out the ambergris that the corpse whale gave him before.
He now hoped that this ambergris incense could attract the madness in the depths of the stone forest, and it was best to suck the madness out directly.
Sure enough, this idea was too naΓ―ve, and Shi Lin didn't react in the slightest.
Li Youcai put away the ambergris again, in fact, the biggest problem he faced now was how to advance to the center of this stone forest without getting lost.
The Assassins in the Mist didn't worry him, these Assassins' attacks were not high, and they were purely physical attacks, and with his transformation ability, it was not difficult to avoid those attacks.
As for the psychedelic power of the fog, it seems that it has no effect on Li Youcai now, even if there will be changes when he enters it, Li Youcai has also prepared a backhand.
That is the waist card of the Jade Void Palace, this waist card has the power to protect the original god, and he has protected Li Youcai under Cthulhu before, so the power of psychedelia cannot stop Li Youcai.
As for whether this waist card can protect his Yuan Shen and keep him from getting lost, Li Youcai has no confidence, after all, even if it is a Mahayana monk, he will get lost immediately after entering.
Even if the Mahayana monks withstood the psychedelic function of the mist, they would not be able to find a way out.
In this way, this misty forest is one ability to make people explode, and getting lost is another.
The outbreak of demons in the heart can also be resisted with cultivation, but no one can bear this lost.
Li Youcai decided to give it a try first, and it was really difficult to make a plan without experiencing the weirdness of this place in person.
This is already the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the name of the Rhapsody Company is not easy to use, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance itself is mixed, so Li Youcai decided that it is better not to reveal his identity, so as not to attract others to covet it.
He approached the crowd and inquired, and soon found some people who specialized in the business of staking people here.
The so-called human stake is a person who stands outside the misty forest, pulling a rope.
The way these people do business is also very simple, one person can tie a lot of ropes to his body, but they generally only take two or three orders at the same time, in order to be able to avoid the blood mist at any time.
These people promise not to move, but once the rope is cut, they will not go in to rescue.
If there is a blood-colored mist, they will immediately abandon the rope and turn around and run.
This is the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the common currency is generally spirit stones. But because it is not far from the border, there are also many people who have rhapsomatic mobile phones, so many people also accept Yangshou payment.
Generally, a business requires fifty years of longevity or fifty low-grade spirit stones, and one hundred low-grade spirit stones must be mortgaged as a deposit for the rope, and if you can come out alive, the deposit will be returned.
And their method of guaranteeing credibility is also very simple, similar to the Rhapsody Company in the territory of the Light Imagination Alliance, which will act as a third-party platform, and is bound by the Heavenly Dao Oath in the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
As long as someone swears in the name of Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao Alliance can sense that once the oath is violated, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will send someone to hunt down and kill it, and announce it to the world.
Of course, all this is only limited to the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, once the person who violates the oath escapes from the realm of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, then the Heavenly Dao Alliance will also lose his trace, and naturally it will not chase and kill, but that person will not want to return to the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Although there will still be loopholes in this Heavenly Dao Oath, it can be regarded as an official guarantee, and it is precisely because of this that there can be such a business here.
Li Youcai found a stake here, traded him for one hundred and fifty years of longevity, and took the rope from him and tied it to his waist.
Seeing his cultivation, the man said with a little contempt: "Say in advance, I won't go in to save you if the rope is broken, and this rope will last for a maximum of an hour, you can think clearly, even if you go crazy at the door for an hour, once the rope is broken, I will definitely not go over to pull you." β
Li Youcai glanced at him, tied the rope, and said, "Swear." β
Seeing that Li Youcai had made up his mind, the man no longer persuaded him, raised his palm and swore: "I swear to the Heavenly Dao that unless there is a blood mist or the rope is broken, I will not let go of the rope connected to him until this friend comes out." βγ
This oath has been used repeatedly, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Li Youcai listened to the other party's oath and turned around and entered the misty stone forest.
