Chapter 6: The Underground Village (3)
After waiting quietly for more than thirty minutes, Calm finally made a decision, that is, to enter the fog immediately. However, because the fog was getting heavier and heavier now, it was impossible for them to stay in it for long, and they could only walk along the path. If there is any deviation in the route, it is possible to cause extraneous problems. Because although the area of this foggy land is not large, if there is a shortcut, it will only take an hour to leave at a normal speed. However, the only problem is that the fog in the area causes the entire area to be less than five meters dense, so it is basically impossible to travel in it very quickly.
In addition, there is another very important thing, that is, within this range, almost all kinds of poisons that exist in the world or can be unique here, among which poisonous insects and poisonous snakes are the first to bear the brunt. And they can be found everywhere you can imagine, including the bottom of the earth and in streams. This means that it is almost impossible for them to avoid these troubles, because even if they follow the rules, it is inevitable that poisons will break in.
After everyone got up, they lined up and walked inside. Of course, as a crucial figure, Jiang Yue, he was still protected in the most central position. Shortly after entering the foggy field, I saw the map that Calm threw in on a stone at the entrance.
And the results have finally been revealed. As Calm had previously assumed, the hidden words and patterns on this map had been revealed due to the influence of the fog here.
The patterns on this map are far more complex than the previous four regions. The intricacies of the roads are intertwined, and even if you follow each line in order, you will find that all the lines converge at the same place after several twists and turns, and here they are interrupted, and then a new route appears. Therefore, it is impossible to follow this map to find the way in such fog.
However, this did not affect the direction of the answer, and now all the instructions were the mysterious assembly point in the center of the map, where all the routes converged, so they had to find it first.
"We just have to follow the path to pass there, and then we can check it out." Although there is a closer passage on the other side, it is difficult to avoid leaving because the fog around them is converging towards them more and more. So, Calm did not choose the original plan, but decided to walk along the path until he came to the assembly point and stopped, and then the specific details were carefully according to the plan of the scene.
And at this time, because of the toxins of the fog, everyone's reaction is getting worse and worse. Only the ice bubbles were completely fine, and they were still looking at the white mist with curiosity. For hundreds of years, it lived only on icebergs, and even though there were hot springs that bubbled up from the ground and formed steam, the feeling was very different from the fog it is today.
Since they have been affected, they should try to save their energy, do not shout at each other loudly, and keep quiet and smooth blood circulation is the key to whether they can leave the fog safely. Therefore, for a period of time after that, they did not say a word, but no matter where they went, the basic tacit understanding between them still existed. As long as there is eye contact and body contact, you will be able to coordinate your actions.
And the little fox is because as a member of the fox clan, the instantaneous reaction to any change determines whether they can survive in this world safely, so although he has not yet reached a tacit understanding with the big guy, he can use the fastest speed to make changes, basically keeping the same pace.
Fortunately, God took care of them on this day, and there was no more trouble for them on the road like a winter ape suddenly appeared on an ice volcano. The road was very smooth, so it took less than ten minutes for them to arrive at the assembly point.
Sure enough, it was almost the same as on the map, with many routes passing through here, and the trail they took was just one of many. Then the back road disappeared inexplicably after a circle in the center, and then it would automatically appear half a halfway, but it was no longer possible to distinguish the original one.
"What shall we do now?" Everyone can calm down, but only the little fox and Bing Bubble have begun to panic because of their deep relationship with the world.
"Over there?" This is the only intersection of all the roads, so it's the most likely place to have a clue. And just after walking down one of the roads, I came to the ancient temple where Bao Yuecheng arrived. The result is also obvious, just like Bao Yueyue, they also hit one after another and fell into the rift that appeared on the ground. And the rift disappeared completely after they entered, so that they could completely cut off their disappearance from the outside world, so they wouldn't be able to think of anything.
In the process of shaking and falling, Murong Hao and Calm were still calm, not too panicked, but still treated the situation in front of him in the same state as just now. There was even plenty of time for the two of them to take in their surroundings. After looking closely, they can basically determine that the place they are going to has nothing to do with the world above, and it can be said that it is another space that appeared in the same time and space.
Because it was very obvious to leave the fog, the ice bubble that was quite calm before was completely panicked, and the blood vessels were about to burst due to the sudden increase in blood pressure. It looked like a monster, especially since her two pigtails were raised by the air resistance.
In the process of their fall, there was a group of people watching them directly below them and discussing, "Is there a tornado in this earthly world today, or is the door connecting our world opened, why did someone fall down?" "The 'again' in these people's mouths naturally refers to calm and wait for others, and the Bao Yueyue who fell before is not here at this time, but enjoying life in the homes of the locals, and has completely forgotten that he is carrying a task and has to turn with everyone.
It seems that the people here understand that there is a world on earth, and they live underground, so they are not surprised that someone has come down from the sky and is not surprised at most. Only young children ask adults why someone has fallen from above.
"You're here to find the secret recipe to enter the fog, too. Come with us. At this time, the city's security team arrived, and the people dispersed. As a result, for a while, only the members of the security team were left here.
Secret recipe? Do these locals know that there is a shortcut to entering the fog? Murong Hao thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it. A very important reason is that they are new to the city, and if they offend each other by opening their mouths at will, and then want to ask them again, it will be a lot of suffering. And since they can tell the purpose of their coming here, it means that Bao Yueyue also has a high chance of falling here, so it is also a good choice to use them to find her.
Seeing that no one affirmed or denied them, the security team led them towards the village chief's house.
"Where are we going?" The little fox looked at these domineering security team members and had some scruples in his heart. When Bao Yueyue is gone, the body naturally tends to the ice bubbles that he is more familiar with. Bing Bubble is also afraid of these people with guns, and the two cowardly people can only comfort each other and seek solace.
When they came to the village chief's house, they saw Bao Yueyue, who was lying on a wooden rocking chair in the yard and munching on a watermelon, basking in the sun and humming a little song, as if they had come here to participate in the farmhouse experience.
"Monthly subscription! What are you doing?! Murong Cod's voice made Bao Yueyue reflexively jump up, and then shouted loudly to the front, "Here!" It was as if a lazy soldier had been discovered by the squad leader, and stood up straight.
"It's you!" After looking closely, I found that it was them, and Bao Yueyue no longer held it like this, and immediately returned to its original loose appearance, "It really scared me." I didn't expect you to fall here, it seems that we can only stay here for the rest of our lives, and we won't be able to go anywhere. Ay...... We can only pray for Jiang Yue in the distance. ”
"We have to get out of here now!" If she wanted to stay here for the rest of her life, Bao Yueyue thought it was beautiful, and Murong Yue walked over directly and dragged her up from the chair.
Bao Yueyue almost fell, and after gaining a foothold, she shook off Murong Hao's hand in disgust, and then rubbed her arm, "No." It's like a black hole – there's only a way in, no outlet. We're going to be stuck here forever. ”
