Chapter 19: The Flame Reaction

Half an hour later, the people who had finished the repair set off again.

However, at this time, the fog was more than twice as thick as before, and it was already impossible to see more than ten meters away. The damage caused by the battle just now encompassed at least a radius of tens of meters, and everyone circled along the devastation all over the ground before they determined which direction the original road was.

Rorschach planned to return the same way and wait for the fog to completely dissipate before making plans, such a cautious move would naturally not attract opposition from the members, but Mu Yan secretly cheered up.

Although the world line has changed, the age of the dead has not yet arrived, but after all, his influence is limited to some major processes, and it cannot cause much change to a few remote places that he has not been to, such as the dense fog of the plantation in front of him, which is basically similar to the one in his memory.

Most of those postes and strategies emphasize the negative effects of the fog, which on the one hand interferes with the mind, and on the other hand, most importantly, makes the minimap useless. The visual performance is "it is difficult to distinguish between male and female within five meters, and there is no distinction between humans and animals outside ten meters", although it is not toxic, but it will interfere with people's judgment to some extent, and it is not far from the current situation.

If so, at least the eyes will be deceived. After all, as a fully immersive game, players don't just rely on the minimap to act, and the first sight of the landscape and landmarks is the key to guiding the way, just like the reality.

"Be careful, I have a bad premonition......"

When the team set off, Mu Yan couldn't help but say, it seemed that his confidence was a little lacking.

"Little Brother Mu Yan won't be frightened by insects, haha, it's okay, we can go out soon, and we'll come back when the fog clears."

"Yes, after all, it's an important part, don't be scared out of the way."

At the mention of this, the crowd laughed again.

"Ahaha...... I...... I'm fine......"

Rorschach patted him on the shoulder, nodded, signaled that he would take the remark seriously, and beckoned the crowd to cheer up, but it seemed that they had not listened.

Soon, the group passed through a fence wall with a gap in the wall for two people to pass through.

This gap is familiar, and I have passed through such a door when I came, but at this time, the fog is thickening, and the scenery behind the door is dim, and it looks like a portal to the unknown world, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

However, the real crisis comes after passing through the breach.

Rorschach suddenly raised his hand and shouted to stop the group.

"It doesn't seem right, I remember not being like this when I came......" he stroked the flat wall, "There was a gap here, and it almost ruined my clothes......"

As soon as he reminded them, the others also woke up from a dream, staring around vigilantly, and soon they discovered the fact that they did not seem to be going the same way.

The fog interfered with judgment, and the team chose a deeper path, with many plausible markers that could have been distinguished at first glance but required closer inspection......

"What should I do, do you want to keep going?"

"The first priority is to confirm the direction and let Bill try?"

"The fog is so big, even if you can fly, you can't see anything clearly, let's go back first, this road is the only one when we come, there is no fork in the road, it is possible that we chose the wrong road when we left the battlefield."

"That's the only way to do it." Rorschach looked around, "We're back in the open space where we just stayed, everyone is close, don't get separated!" ”

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, the crowd was completely lost in the fog. It is also said that there is only one way, but now they can't even find the devastated battlefield, and it is inevitable that they are a little restless.

Identical walls on all sides, and the black, dry vines looked like snakes in the mist, and a sense of unease and despair crept through.

"I have an idea......

Mu Yan suddenly spoke, and he twisted a small handful of dirt from the ground, the dark dirt mixed with a hint of gray, and then burned in the flames of his palm.

The orange flame was unchanged at first, but as time passed, it slowly stained a wisp of blue, then blue turned green, and the two swayed and entangled in orange for three or four seconds before slowly disappearing.

"Does that mean anything?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"It shows what's in the dirt. I've heard that plantations prepare different grades of soil depending on the grape variety, and the higher the size, the more expensive it is. And something that changes the grade will cause such a different flame. It looks like our eyes have been deceived, but the dirt under our feet shouldn't be deceiving, so we can confirm the general direction......"

"Do you understand?" Reg muttered quietly.

"I didn't ...... I didn't understand much, but what Master Mu Yan meant was that he could find a way out...... That's what it means, right? ”

"I think so......"

"No, it's not," Mu Yan retorted excitedly, blushing sharply, "I can just confirm the general direction." ”

"That's enough!" Rorschach interrupted him, "According to Master Mu Yan's method, from now on, we don't care about what we see, we only need to care about the dirt under our feet. ”

"Yes!"

……

The team set off again, no matter how strange, familiar, or déjà vu buildings they saw along the way, they didn't pay attention to them, but concentrated on digging up the soil under the grape trellises, and then handed it over to Mu Yan to burn.

In fact, this is also one of the ways for players to sum up the way to find out,In order to show sincerity,The studio chartered in the ghost village will provide players who are distributed in the edge of the area to level up a magic prop similar to a "PH test paper",Basically, it only takes two or three times to confirm the direction of progress,And the deflection of the small map on the periphery of the ghost village is not so complicated,As long as the player confirms the direction,You can find the magnitude of the small map being deflected,So as to correct their cognition。

Perception told Mu Yan that the area where everyone was located at the moment was about 2/3 of the distance from the center of the plantation, and blue fire would appear after the soil burned at this time, the more blue indicated the more inside, and the more green the more outside.

Following this pattern, the group soon returned to the place where the battle had been fought, and seeing that the scene was familiar again, the anxiety and despair gradually dissipated, the fighting spirit was rekindled, and the members were talking and laughing again.

Although the soil here was contaminated with the body fluids of insects, and once burned, it emitted the smell of ammonia boiling in urine, and the flames were dim and mixed, so the group walked out of the plantation.

The dark green wolf smoke in front of them went straight up, and even if the smell was awe-inspiring, everyone felt that it was extremely kind, and the feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe was spontaneous.

The reason why the mercenary life is longed for and missed by so many people may be this excitement of frequent travel between life and death.

Rorschach looked up at the dark night sky, it took the group half a day to get in, but they found nothing but strange bugs, and the thick fog alone was enough for them to drink a pot. At this time, the dense fog had a faint tendency to escape from the plantation, and he also felt uneasy in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Rorschach calmed down.

Fortunately, I brought a mage with me on this trip. He looked at Mu Yan and secretly rejoiced. The latter was being surrounded as a hero, and it was a little funny that he was overwhelmed by this enthusiasm.
