Only when you enter the gray fog can you know how bad the environment in the gray fog is.

There is not a trace of green here, there are not even weeds on the ground, only dry and cracked soil, and the surrounding gray mist is pushed three meters away by the power of the fire, providing a safe space for the two of them, but outside the range of the power of the fire, the visual distance is less than ten meters, and in the endless gray fog, there are countless unknown existences wandering.

Of course, the power of the fire can dispel the gray mist, and for the berserk beasts born from the gray mist, there is also a natural dispersal effect, and the berserk beasts that wander in the gray mist will subconsciously stay away from the range of influence of the fire, providing a relatively safe environment for Sawyer and the others.

However, with the smallest flame in Sawya's hand, it can only disperse some relatively weak gray beasts, and if you are unlucky enough to meet the black beasts, the battle is inevitable.

However, perhaps because of good luck, or because of the relative proximity to both the Qingyan and the Grey Mist Passage, Sawyer and Greta did not encounter the attack of the Black Beast along the way, but instead saw a Twisted Plant, but the two only glanced at it from a distance and bypassed it - in the Gray Mist, the Twisted Plant is often more difficult than the Black Beast.

This detour also caused the two of them to walk for more than an hour before they saw the Gray Mist Passage from a distance, and even got the wrong direction of walking - if it weren't for the Gray Mist Passage having cornerstones every kilometer to indicate the direction, the two of them might have made it all the way to the next Gray Mist stronghold.

"So, the most terrifying thing in the gray fog is not the black beast or the twisted plant, but the sense of direction."

Sawyer shook his head as he looked at the cornerstone on the side of the road, which was close to their path and was inlaid with a blue gem representing the direction of the Sapphire Ring, and on the other side was a dark red basalt stone that represented the Ember Ring in the east.

Of course, the so-called east is also judged according to the records before the gray fog era, after entering the gray fog age, even the central ring city located in the center of the continent, there is no sun and moon to see, even in the daytime, it is just that the sky has become brighter, there is no way to distinguish the direction.

As for things like the compass, it is said that there were before the Gray Fog Age, but after entering the Gray Fog Age, these tools all failed, even the east, west, north and south on the map were only defined according to the square gate of the city that belonged to them, and sometimes the map of two different rings would even be very different in the direction of positioning.

This also leads to the fact that after entering the gray fog, there is no way to distinguish the direction, when approaching the ring city, it is okay, with the map in hand, as well as some landmark terrain, it is relatively easy to judge the location, and after entering the depths of the gray fog, even if you have a map in your hand, you can't be sure where you are, and you can only judge the direction by feeling when walking, so that the vast majority of explorers are starving to death and dying of disease in the gray fog because of the exhaustion of the materials they carry.

The difficulty of identifying the direction in the gray fog also leads to the fact that when opening up the gray fog channel, it is also necessary to send explorers from time to time to determine the direction, and use life to ensure that the gray fog channel can accurately connect the two places.

However, Sawyer had to admit that these gray fog passages in the gray fog like a corridor, together with the gray fog passages around the city, were indeed a great existence.

The Grey Mist Passage where Sawyer is located is the "main road" of all the passages, in the shape of a semicircular tunnel with a cross-sectional radius of about ten meters, and according to Greta, some of the branch roads that branch off from the main road to connect to the Grey Mist stronghold are more than half as narrow as this passage.

The first gray fog stronghold in the direction of the sapphire ring city was just an ordinary small stronghold, and there was no property, but when building the passage, because of the direction deviation, it happened to pass by this small stronghold, and the passage was only more than twenty meters away from the stronghold, and the wall of the stronghold could be faintly seen through the gray fog, so a small road to the stronghold was simply built, connecting this stronghold and the gray fog channel.

No one knows the name of this stronghold, after the stronghold was connected to the gray fog channel, except for some old people in the stronghold, all the other residents simply moved to the Sapphire Ring City, and then the entire stronghold was abandoned, but the solidified large fire could not be transferred, and the merchants who came and went simply transformed this stronghold into a foothold, which was called the No. 1 foothold in the East by the people of Blue City.

Speaking of which, the residents of Qingyan can actually migrate to the Sapphire Ring City, after all, Qingyan is only half an hour's walk away from the Gray Mist Passage, as long as they are careful enough, they will not encounter powerful berserk beasts, which is enough to ensure the safety of the migration team.

It's just that compared to other small strongholds, Qingyan still has some products, just like the name of Qingyan stronghold, the specialty there is a special cyan rock, this rock has a weak enchantment adaptability, and can also contain a trace of the power of fire, although Blue City does not have much demand for this kind of stone, but it is a sought-after commodity in other gray fog strongholds, and the use of this stone building, after the enchantment of the insulating breath on the engraving, and injected with the power of the fire, is an excellent Kuroshio shelter.

Due to the black tide in the Blue City not long ago, Sawyer did not see the "overcrowded" scene described by Greta, but in the huge foothold, only a caravan from the Blue City was repairing, and after seeing the two of them, there was not much reaction, only an apprentice-like young man ran to sell goods.

"Lots of good stuff."

Among the things recommended by the young apprentice, Sawyer saw a lot of useful props, such as the sealed black beast mist, which can be used to scare off the gray beast, and the fire pointer, which can detect the fire reaction within a radius of one kilometer, and when he gets lost, he can use it to find the gray fog channel and the gray fog stronghold.

"But you don't have any money."

Greta said without hesitation, Sawyer and the young apprentice were obviously stiff, and then laughed casually, and separated after a few polite words, and after turning around with each other, Sawyer's face changed instantly: "You are really a good girl who doesn't hold grudges!" ”

"Of course."

Greta looked like she was thanking and complimenting, which made Sawyer grit her teeth for a while, and finally muttered "Adults don't remember villains", went to the haystack next to her, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

However, Greta was unrelenting, and leaned to the edge of the haystack as if she had won the battle, pinched her waist and said, "Hmph, do you want to make money?" Do you want this girl to give you an idea? ”

"What do you have in mind?"

Sawyer opened one eye and glanced at Greta, looking uninterested.

"Don't underestimate people! This girl has a lot of ideas! ”
