Chapter 169: A Warm Welcome
Wind, geographically known as horizontal pressure gradient force, is formed because the air flow from high pressure to low pressure is high in one place and low in another.
Before there was a scientific explanation, humans had a good understanding of the wind.
You listen to the falling leaves of the autumn trees, you see the spring water blowing in a pool, and you feel the heavy snow.
There is no mention of the wind, but it is all about the wind.
The wind itself often has no external appearance, cannot be seen, and cannot be touched, and most of people's experience of wind comes from their own senses, or the wind affects other things and then feeds back to the senses.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and you can never feel the cold wind when you stand on the ground.
White clouds began to appear in the sky, and as you watched them move and deform rapidly, you realized that it was so windy.
The wind itself should be silent, and when it hits the leaves, it booms, and when it blows to the sea, it is booming.
When you blow the flute, you can also play a beautiful music.
Everyone in the team has been baptized by the mountain wind in this place, but with the physical fitness of the team, they are not very worried about being blown out of something.
Originally, the team should not have heard any other sounds from the mountain wind except for the sound of leaves and rocks being blown by the wind.
But at this moment, a whimpering sound reached everyone's ears from all directions, as if many people were blowing into the mouth of a plastic bottle at the same time.
"Woo~Woo~"
"Is it the wind?" Meng Ran asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head with a solemn face.
"It stands to reason that it should be, but it shouldn't be."
If science is to be believed, this sound can only be made because the huge amount of wind is squeezed through this only pathway, and the echo in the valley where the team is located is constantly amplified, so that it makes such a "moving" sound.
However, the perceived wind strength does not increase, so it is unlikely that the sound is caused by a sudden increase in the air volume.
That's not something science can explain.
Therefore, everyone in the team was ready for battle almost instantly, waiting for the unexpected to come.
The voice was sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, evolving into a tone that was incomprehensible to the public.
But whether it is high-pitched or low, it has nothing to do with the wind here.
"Isn't this just a ghost crying?" Yu Liang muttered, and was greeted by the two girls.
This empty valley is simply a natural sound amplifier, transmitting all the sounds received to everyone's ears accurately, down to the smallest detail.
"This transposition is a bit interesting, and some details are added to it, what is your dream?"
Yu Liang still has the kung fu to play poor, which means that he is a little nervous at this time.
"It's ugly." Jiang Yan said lightly.
The voice was sharp and rapid as if it was about to scare people into a heart attack, and when it was low and slow, it seemed to whisper softly in the ear.
The most annoying thing is that there is no over-the-top connection between these two states, so it is often intimidating or suddenly empty.
Time passed slowly between this loosening and tightening in everyone's hearts.
Half an hour, an hour.
"Damn! Fight or not? Yu Liang couldn't help but shout.
"I'll take a look." Li Qiang said suddenly, and without waiting for everyone to react, he walked towards the mountain road where he came.
"Captain, be careful." Yu Liang said.
Li Qiang didn't go far, looked at the entrance, and walked back.
"It's not rumor." Li Qiang said softly.
The voice suddenly rose high again, causing Li Qiang's brow to furrow.
"What's next?" Li Qiang asked Qi Zhen.
"Keep going, or just keep resting if you can't hear it." Qi Zhen said.
It's never a good idea to walk in the dark on a mountain trail at night.
Then you can only pretend not to hear.
It's easy to say, but it's even harder to do that, even if you can turn a deaf ear to these voices, what if suddenly an enemy comes out?
It's simple to turn a deaf ear, and it's not even a matter of continuing to rest.
But I don't know how long I have to wait until dawn, so I have been in a state of high tension, and I am afraid that everyone's spirit will be unbearable.
"Yu Liang, I'll leave it to you." Qi Zhen whispered.
"Okay!"
Yu Liang stood up, and said in his heart that if Lin Xiao was alive, where would he talk about stand-up comedy here?
"Your transposition breath is a little insufficient, haven't you eaten enough at noon?"
"These two paragraphs are good, I have surpassed 90 percent of the people in the country."
"Rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm!"
"Broken your uncle's voice!"
"You, get out of this stage!"

In the sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low ghost cry in his ears, Yu Liang really took out all the lines of all the music review variety shows he had watched in his previous life.
The effect is also very significant.
Under Yu Liang's gags, everyone's spirits relaxed a lot.
Later, Yu Liang really had no words, so he began to sing a nonsense song on the spot with a whimpering sound of incomplete tones.
What a little moon, big and white, uncle has an arrow ghost coming soon.
What a big windmill squeaks and turns, the bonfire here is so beautiful.
The donkey's lips sang a lot of words to the horse's mouth, which didn't lure the ghost out, but made a few people in the team sick enough.
"Stop singing, I'm going to throw up." Qi Zhen said.
"It's you who asked me to adjust the atmosphere, and I still think I sing ugly, you can do it." Yu Liang said indignantly.
Qi Zhen stopped talking.
"Let me tell you about my past." Li Qiang suddenly spoke.
"This is good, it's much better than listening to him sing." Meng Ran was pleasantly surprised.
The "before" here does not refer to what happens after coming to the game and before the other members join.
It's what happens in another world.
Li Qiang is a person who doesn't talk much, and he has never told everyone about these things, so everyone is really curious.
Li Qiang began to recall the events of his previous years.
That really was a long time ago.
"I've been ...... army before"
With the crackling sound of the campfire burning and the sound of ghosts crying as the background, Li Qiang began to talk about his past.
Just when Li Qiang said that he began to independently lead the team to complete the third task assigned by his superiors, the whimpering sounds around him finally disappeared.
The sky is finally starting to lighten.
"Let's talk about it first, we need to hurry." Li Qiang looked at the sky and said softly.
Everyone is still a little unsatisfied, but Li Qiang is right, they must move forward quickly, find and destroy the ghost king, and if they continue like this, don't say fight with each other, the strange environment here alone can torture people crazy.
The five of them continued along the mountain path.
The pace of progress this time has obviously accelerated a lot, which stems from the fact that Qi Zhen began to have some bad premonitions in her heart.
When the time came to noon, just when everyone was about to take a break, Yu Liang's curse made the hearts of others suddenly.
"Damn! No way! β
I saw Yu Liang standing next to a stone on the side of the road, his face full of incredulity.
Everyone walked up to him and looked at the stone in front of them that had been specially marked by Yu Liang, and their hearts were cold.
This is the road they have walked.
"What's going on? Are we lost? Yu Liang asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head and said, "Let's continue to walk forward." β
It was nearly two hours after this walk, and then they saw the familiar valley.
There are familiar entrances and exits, improvised tents thrown in place, and bonfires that have burned out.
"How did we come back again?" Meng Ran exclaimed.
"Let's go back!" Qi Zhen immediately made a decision and said to everyone.
Then everyone began to retreat in the direction they had come from, at a faster pace.
This time it took a little shorter, and in less than three hours, they were back in the valley again.
The entrance starts with the entrance when you come, and the exit is still the exit when you go.
"Call, we've been warmly welcomed by the other party." Qi Zhen frowned and said helplessly.
"This ...... What do you mean? Yu Liang asked.
When the team came to the valley, Qi Zhen pointed to the path in front of him and said, "We set off from here in the morning, and if we get lost and make an incomparably large circle in the mountains, then we will return to this entrance, and there will be no problem." β
"We've just gone back the way we came, and if we continue the way we got lost, we'll be back at the exit of this valley, which is there."
"And yet we're back at the same entrance we came from, which proves one thing, we're not lost."
Qi Zhen lowered her voice and muttered, "We ran into a ghost hitting the wall." β
Yu Liang's scalp was numb, and he said in a trembling voice: "Damn, it's really fake." β
Li Qiang nodded on the side, "What Qi Zhen said should be true." β
"So what now?" Yu Liang asked.
"It's getting dark, so let's rest here first." Qi Zhen said.
The tent could be used again, and the bonfire was soon lit again, only this time, everyone's hearts were filled with heaviness.
I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but one thing is for sure, the team has been completely exposed to the opponent's eyelids, and can only passively respond to the attacks that the other party may launch at any time.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the terrible ghost cry came again as expected.
"Tomorrow during the day, we'll either go into the woods or try our way up the mountain, but we can't go any further down this road." Qi Zhen said.
If you drag it out like this, you'll drag the team across.
None of them had any opinions, and even if there was no danger the night before, their spirits did not dare to relax in the slightest.
And just like that, the night passed again.
