98, the Fountain of Mist, the Bridge of Clouds

The water is getting deeper and deeper, the originally shallow water surface has become bottomless, the water has reached our waists, and a little panic has gradually arisen in our hearts. But we have no way out, only to move forward.

We walked in the hot spring for a long time, and the water became deeper and deeper, and the fog around us became thicker and thicker. The figures of those men were long gone, and there was no sound in the mist.

"Brother." Mi Ye Nono shouted.

I turned to look at her.

But when I looked at her like that, she was actually a little frightened, and her steps took two steps back.

"Sayoko, what's wrong?" Brother Neng walked at the end, and Mi Ye's backward footsteps had already stepped on his feet, and Brother Neng couldn't help asking.

"No, no, nothing." Mi Ye said in a panic.

"You can't retreat, or you'll be thrown out of the fog." I said indifferently.

Mi Ye and Brother Neng looked at me with unrequited eyes. I avoided their gaze, turned away, and walked on. Although Brother Neng and Mi Ye were full of doubts in their hearts, they still followed me closely.

The hot springs in the mist were getting deeper and deeper, and they had already submerged my shoulders, and I could only show my head. And the shortest of the three of us, Mi Yeshui, was already up to his neck, tiptoeing behind me. And Brother Neng was holding the box of treasures, his body was immersed in water, and his movements were very slow.

The group didn't seem to find us, nor did they enter the water, and I don't know why I could clearly feel every slight movement in the hot springs.

"Why is this so long?" Brother Neng wiped his sweat and said.

I didn't speak, Mi Ye seemed to be afraid of something, and I didn't talk to me.

Brother Neng quickly realized that something was wrong, and then stopped talking.

The three of us walked silently in this fog with no end in sight, and walked silently for a long, long time. The hot spring seemed to be very large, and the feeling of infinite emptiness made people feel uneasy, but there seemed to be a thread in my heart that kept pulling me forward.

My nerves were highly tense, and I didn't dare to relax in the slightest as if I was holding a string all the time.

"Here we are." I spat out those two words with ease.

Brother Neng and Mi Ye suddenly raised their eyes and looked at everything in front of them in surprise.

In front of us was a stone bridge, and we could see the piers in front of us, and the deck that stretched forward, but we couldn't see the piers on the other side. What is even more strange is that the bridge is not built on water, but on land.

There is no text on the piers indicating what kind of bridge it is, but it is carved with various moire patterns. There is no water stain on the white marble stone, and there is no trace of other colors on it, as if it was only put up there yesterday.

"Where is this going? Why is it so new? Brother Neng broke the silence and said.

"I don't know, but we'll have to walk through it if we want to escape." I looked at the bridge and said in a cold tone.

Brother Neng put the box on the ground, sat on it, and said, "Xiaolinzi, what's wrong with you?" Along the way, the yin and yang are weird. ”

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Mi Ye also asked cautiously.

I looked at them inexplicably, wondering why they were asking.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

Brother Neng and Mi Ye were shocked by my words, grew their mouths, and looked at me with ignorance.

"This is what we want to ask you, what happened to you just now?" Brother Neng asked.

"What's wrong with me? I'm so good, why are you looking at me like this? I was a little hairy by the eyes of Brother Neng and Mi Ye, and whispered.

"Don't pretend, how majestic you were just now, tell me, what's wrong with you?" Brother Neng looked at me and said.

"Am I majestic? Are you mistaken? I said helplessly.

"Brother Neng, brother, don't argue about this now, let's go quickly." Mi Ye looked at the argument between me and Brother Neng, and hurriedly said.

Brother Neng turned his head to look at the mist and said, "Okay, go out first." ”

I couldn't help but let out a breath in my heart and said, "Yes, let's go." ”

So the three of us stepped onto the bridge. The bridge deck is paved with stone strips carved with moire patterns, as if walking on clouds.

"Brother, do you know anything?" Mi Ye asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either, but there seems to be a feeling that there is a voice that has been pulling me here. Am I just becoming a little less like me? I asked in a low voice.

Mi Ye repeated my words, and then whispered to me, "Yes, it has become very strange since you walked into this hot spring, as if you have changed as a different person. ”

I wondered what was going on. Is it really the same as what they say, whether what they say about me is really me? But I can clearly feel how I got there along the way.

I shook my head vigorously and stopped thinking about these things, and now the priority was to get out of the witch territory safely.

I was in a fluttering mist under the bridge, but I could see under the fluttering fog that there was no water below, only rocks underneath.

Hiss~

Suddenly a voice that did not belong to us appeared in the fog of our movements.

Brother Neng carried the box, I took Brother Neng's machete, Mi Ye held the delicate miniature dagger, and we protected Brother Neng in the middle, and forbade the surroundings.

Hiss~

The voice seemed to be closer, and the strip of cloth wrapped around the machete was a little damp in my grip.

My palms were covered with sweat, I had never been so nervous, holding the handle of the machete rigidly.

"Brother, what should I do?" Mi Ye asked.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's hurry up and get through here." ”

After speaking, I pulled up the handle on Brother Neng's box, and carried it to the side with Brother Neng, and Mi Ye followed us. Running all the way to the other side of the bridge.

I don't know how long it has been, the three of us have not eaten for a long time, and now we are running faster and consumed, and the three of us have gurgling stomachs, one after another.

In the river of mist below the bridge deck, a huge figure leaked out of the clouds and mist, and we never saw the bridge head on the other side.

Seeing the huge figure getting closer and closer, we didn't care about the torture of hunger, spread our legs, and rushed onto the misty bridge.

I could already see the head of the thing, a pitch-black mass on its head, like the body of a figurine.

I was shocked that this thing seemed to be the snake that was fighting the giant salamander. Brother Neng and Mi Ye had never seen each other, but I could see it clearly in the small cave at the time, and since it was here, it meant that the giant salamander had died in its hands.

I'm very uneasy, I've seen them fight, and then I think about it, our equipment really doesn't have any confidence.
