Chapter 17: Foggy Hollow

All the way is downhill, and the hearts of those who walk are dangling in mid-air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info fortunately, the rain in the valley is not so frequent these days, otherwise it will be troublesome to walk on this dirt ground.

As time goes by, the road down the road becomes more and more bottomless. The three of them supported each other and walked down for nearly fifteen minutes, only to notice that the slope was gradually narrowing, the road was gradually flattening, and the thick fog was not far ahead.

"Wow! This fog really isn't covered. I mean, do you know the miasma? Could this stuff be poisonous? ”

Jiang Bai, who was walking in the front, widened his eyes and was curious like a child. But in the face of the heavy fog several feet high in front of him, his heart was still timid.

Just around the edge of the mist, there was a green grove of low plants. The ovoid leaves are not remarkable, the flower stems are slightly higher, and they are dotted with a light purple inflorescence.

Luo Cheng stepped forward, squatted down and stroked the leaves, rubbed it to his nose and asked, with a faint taste of bitter grass.

"Within a hundred paces of a snake, there will be an antidote. There is a scent near the fog, and it should be fine inside. ”

Huoxiang has the effect of dehumidifying and dispersing miasma, even if the mist can really cause people any discomfort, it can be corrected in time. Moreover, the abundance of flora and fauna in this fog should not be enough to kill. The three of them took a little bit of the above-ground part of the herb, put on protective masks, took a deep breath, and stepped into this dense white mist.

As Uncle Wu said, visibility is very low in the dense fog, but fortunately, the compass still works. Luo Cheng took out the rope and tied it to the three people, and started by himself, after Jiang Bai broke it, he groped deeper little by little.

Once vision is affected, the other senses become particularly sensitive. Liang Zhen, who was walking in the middle, suddenly pulled the rope in front of him, and Luo Cheng immediately stopped.

"That...... Did you hear anything? ”

At this moment, he had been walking for almost twenty minutes, and Jiang Bai was emptying himself the whole time, thinking about various things in his head, and letting the rope lead him. For example, the Olympics are about to start, the US presidential candidate is unreliable, and Liu Zichen has all kinds of strange ideas such as PO photos on the Internet.

And Luo Cheng has never taken these things to heart, and just wants to find Xu Thrush as soon as possible. Only Liang Zhen, who was the most thoughtful, sensed that something was wrong.

When she said this, the other two pricked up their ears.

Faintly, it seems that some voices are really coming in, but if you listen carefully, it seems that you can't really hear it. And the harder I try, the more I can't understand.

Jiang Bai shuddered: "Could it be, what kind of tricks are those strange outsiders doing......?"

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. At this time, if something strange really attacked, it couldn't be stopped. The three of them immediately became alert, narrowed the distance between them, and kept searching for the source of the sound in the thick fog back to back.

The temperature in the foggy valley is not high, it is much lower than in the village, but the humidity is heavy. Despite this, sweat gradually oozed from the foreheads of the three of them.

"I'll go, why is this fog getting thicker and thicker!" Jiang Bai complained, squatted down and picked up a stone at his feet and threw it into the thick fog.

It was as if the stone had fallen into an endless abyss, and there was no sound of landing. If the visibility was five or six meters when I first entered the valley, now it is basically not even three meters.

"Really...... Is there something that suddenly gets heavier? ”

After Liang Zhen said this, the three of them sighed in their hearts. If there is any reason why this uninhabited Foggy Hollow has changed, it can only be because the three of them have walked in.

Seeing that the visibility has been reduced to only one meter, it is almost impossible to move an inch if it continues like this.

"Hey, listen, it seems to be louder!"

Sure enough, as the fog gradually thickened, the strange sound next to the ear became clearer and clearer, as if this layer of fog could conduct sound.

The three of them listened with bated breath, and the broken voices connected little by little, becoming a whole.

…… I am here......

"Did you hear me?" Jiang Bai shouted excitedly, "It's Xu Thrush's voice, he's around here!" ”

"I hear it, it does." Luo Cheng nodded, his eyes still staring at the fog in front of him.

"What is it called, it must be him! You say that in such an inaccessible place, who else can there be! That kid must have fallen, I'll go find him! With that, Jiang Bai walked forward on his own.

As soon as he walked out less than a meter, Jiang Bai suddenly felt that a low black shadow flashed in front of him, as if it was coming towards him, and before he could react, the rope behind him was pulled back violently by Luo Cheng, and he stumbled to the ground.

Jiang Bai was a little angry, and just wanted to step forward to reason with Luo Cheng, but saw Liang Zhen frowning and looking hard into the mist on the other end.

"Is that the sound you heard?"

Jiang Bai looked back: "Yes, aren't you?" ”

Liang Zhen shook her head and pointed to Jiang Bai's back: "What I heard came from here, and it was very clear." ”

That's weird. I've just thrown stones, and the terrain here should be quite wide, so why should the same voice hear it in a different direction?

"But I just saw the shadow, if you hadn't pulled me over, I might have dragged Xu Thrush."

"Are you sure the shadow is him?"

Jiang Bai stopped talking, carefully thinking about what had just happened. I heard Xu Thrush's voice Yes, a black shadow flashed just now...... Right! It's definitely not Xu Thrush, how can Xu Thrush be so short, his movements are very fast, and he almost brushes his body and passes, like some kind of reptile, as if he was still ...... just now Touched myself.

Looking down at the clothes he had just touched, a curved dirt mark came into view. The imprint is uneven, as if there are many rings.

Jiang Bai's heart suddenly turned cold, swallowed his saliva, raised his head and asked, "Is this ...... I feel like a snake......"

Luo Chengdao: "It's not like a snake, if it was a snake, it must have attacked directly just now." This thing is a little timid, and it has to wait for the fog to rise before attacking us, it should be a small reptile. ”

As he spoke, the mist had already spread all over his body, and the whole person suddenly fell into a fog, and the three of them leaned on each other tightly, and the black shadow in front of them became bigger and bigger.

"This animal...... It's not small......"

…… Come and save me......

…… Grandpa Jiang, Brother Luo, Sister Liang Zhen......

"You ...... Did you hear that, I'm sure, it must be Xu Thrush must be ......"

If the initial voice can't be determined, then this one is indeed made by Xu Thrush, and only he will shout like this. With the attempt just now, none of the three dared to act rashly. Jiang Bai took out the tungsten steel short knife from his arms and held it tightly in his hand.
