All that was left was the sound of the river rushing, and Vane had a splitting headache, and a voice kept echoing in his head: "This can't be ......"

The four of them are still alive, how can their bodies appear here, obviously only Simpson's corpse was there when I saw it just now. Something must have gone wrong, could it be some kind of trick played by the Simpson, who doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost?

He turned, and Simpson was standing not far behind, his distorted mouth grinning as if he were grinning, and water was constantly flowing from it. An eerie voice came faintly: "We are all drowned in the river, I went to look for you, but you don't believe that you are dead, and you deceive yourself with your eyes, so I have to find a way to let you see the truth." ”

"Now we friends can be together again...... Simpson grinned as he walked toward Vane.

"Ah......h

The Simpson in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Vane sat in the tent sweating profusely. The heart was still pounding, and it turned out to be a nightmare.

Vane lifted the curtain of the tent to see that Elena was still sitting outside on the trunk of a dead tree with one hand on her cheek. But he couldn't sleep when he looked at Simpson's back next to him, and the more he looked at it, the more furious his heart became. He poked Simpson with his finger, and the latter spun around as he muttered something. Fortunately, it's not what it was in a dream. The fear slowly subsided, and coupled with the extreme lack of sleep in his body, Vane gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Vane felt groggy in his head, Felder and Simpson were no longer in the tent, and the sound of Elena and the others was heard outside. Vane lifted the curtain and instantly felt a layer of moisture on his face.

It's foggy.

Outside, there was a gray patch, and the trees ten paces away were no longer visible.

"Vane, pack up and let's go!" said Felder. The campfire had long since been extinguished, and Simpson had put away Elena's tent, and Wayne looked at him a little strangely, still a little awkward, and Simpson gave him a simple smile.

Soon the crowd was already on the road. The entire forest seemed to have been swallowed up by the gray mist, and the surrounding area had become a gray world.

"Everyone, keep up, this should be the Misty Forest. Elena wiped the fog from her face and said.

With visibility of no more than five meters, it is undoubtedly very torturous to travel in such fog, making it feel as if you will never reach the end. It's been a few hours of stop-and-go, and everyone's patience has been exhausted in this gray fog, and if it weren't for Vane's compass, I'm afraid everyone would have wondered if they had lost their way.

"We've been walking for so long, and not only has the fog not dissipated, it looks like it's getting thicker, hell. Felder said breathlessly leaning against a tree.

"Otherwise, how can it be called the Misty Forest? Eth also sat on the ground gasping for breath, her face flushed.

"I always feel familiar here, are we back to where we just walked?" said Elena, frowning as she looked around.

"Probably not, the fog is so heavy now, everything looks similar, and the compass doesn't lie. Vane replied, Elena's words leaving him a little uncertain.

"All in all, it feels strange to me. With that, Elena drew an arrow from her back and used the arrow to carve a triangular mark on the trunk of a large tree next to her.

After the break, several people followed the direction of the compass and continued to walk south. The trees in this forest are not so dense, and the foliage looks much thinner, and the ground is covered with dead leaves. The air is moist, but the shrubs and ferns are almost gone, giving a lifeless feeling.

As time passed, everyone's hearts cooled, and they had seen the big tree with the mark no less than three times, and the familiar scenery around them almost broke down.

"We can't go on like this, there's something weird about this forest. Changing direction a bit, we try to go in an easterly direction. Vane thought for a moment and said. As for why it was easterly and not westerly, Wayne himself did not know. At the same time, in order to prevent problems caused by entering some magic circle by mistake, Ise cast a purification spell on everyone.

I don't know if it was because of the change of direction or the purification technique, but this time I finally didn't encounter the big tree again.

Suddenly, Felder stretched out his right hand and gestured to stop, leaning down to check on something. On the ground covered with fallen leaves, there was a long decomposing human skeleton, as if it had been eaten by some animal, some remnants of carrion hung on the bones, causing flies and insects to wreak havoc, and few pieces of clothing were scattered around.

Although he had seen some disgusting scenes, Vane couldn't help but retch. He stroked his chest back and forth a few times, and said with a sigh of relief, "Go on, it's best to get out of this forest before it gets dark." ”

The procession walked through the boundless gray world, so quiet that only the rustle of the leaves and the wheezing of the crowd remained, and they did not encounter any animals or even birds along the way. The light around him was getting darker and darker, and Vane once felt like he was walking in another world, and he shook his head vigorously, was he still in a dream?

"You see, there's a light ahead!" Felder suddenly shouted excitedly.

Ahead, a halo of light could be seen floating in the thick fog. As the footsteps moved, the halos became larger and more distinct, and soon the outline of a house appeared in front of everyone.

It can be vaguely seen that this wooden house has two floors and does not look big. Several lights lit up in the room shone through the fog, making everyone who had not seen the light for a long time feel a little uncomfortable.

"Shall we go over?" Felder asked, turning his head.

"It doesn't always feel right to have a house with such lights in a place like this......," Vane said.

"Let's go over and have a look, and everyone cheer up. Elena said as she walked out of the woods with her bow and arrows in hand, and walked towards the hut.

The door to the hut was wide open, and a rudimentary table and chairs were clearly visible by the wall, and the fire in the fireplace next to it was still burning. "Anyone?" Felder shouted several times, but no one responded.

Several people entered the hut and closed the door. The whole interior of the house looks new, there are only two rooms on the first floor, except for the living room with the entrance door, there is a small room inside with some miscellaneous items. There were a few books piled up on the table, some open and spread out on the table. The second floor is a small attic with a strange stench coming from it.

There seemed to be nothing to sit in in the drawing-room except the chair, and there was a fur in front of the fireplace that did not show any animals, and Felder and Simpson sat down unceremoniously to rest.

"Sure enough, we were blessed by the heavens, and we found such a good house. Felder closed his eyes and simply lay down on the fur, and said lightly with his hands as pillows.

"I said, can you not be so blindly optimistic, this is someone else's house, and we don't even know who the owner is. Elena gave him a blank look.

"Vane, what are you looking at?" asked Ace as she walked over to the table. The books on the table were scattered around, and a few books had been opened, and the pages inside had turned yellow, with some intricate patterns and dense text on them, which looked ancient and mysterious.

Vane didn't speak, he looked sad, clutching a bone from an unknown animal in one hand and flipping through one of the books in the other.

"We need to get out of here right away. Vane turned his head and said quickly, his eyes full of concern.
