"Be careful, everyone."

The redhead was the first to lean out and stand at the entrance of the cave, raising his hand vigilantly in a defensive stance. "There seems to be someone over there."

The leading woman stood the second to stand, her hand still clutching the sharp stone she had used to dig before, and she nervously raised her hand to look at the position where the redhead was vigilant.

After a few moments of movement, a figure stepped out of the darkness. It was a man of the highest appearance, skinny but distinctly large, his face almost obscured by tufts of tangled beards, and his entire body was covered with dirty hair like a savage.

The leading woman pursed her lips and raised a sharp stone in her hand, and in the distance, the "wild man" moved slightly, and a pair of faintly red eyes buried under the messy hair stared at this position tightly.

Immediately afterward, the young man crawled out of the hole.

The wild man paused as he was advancing, as if he was waiting and hesitating about something, and when Qin Jiuyuan's figure stood outside the cave, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the bottom of the dark abyss at a speed that no one expected.

All was dead and silent.

"Just one person." The redhead saw it and wrapped the cross around his wrist again, "I guess I saw that someone came out of the cave and wanted to attack us, but later I gave up when I saw that there were too many of us." ”

The few people who came out after that breathed a sigh of relief, and the young man turned around and picked up the timid little girl and comforted her, all of whom seemed to be waiting for the redhead to speak to decide what to do next.

“…… The Abyss of Nothingness actually covers a much larger area than we think. The redhead lit a fire and looked around, frowning quietly. I've never been here before, and I'd like to come here in the other direction of the bottom of the abyss. Now we have to determine the location and approximate location of this place before we can find the crack I escaped from last time. ”

After Qiu Xuan stood still, she felt the overall atmosphere around her, and she didn't feel anything, she was not annoyed, she just stood there and completely regarded herself as the person who was like the twenty-eighth official road, and listened to the arrangement of the red hair.

No matter how much she doubted Redhead now, she knew that at least Redhead wouldn't be sloppy about escaping, after all, she had been trapped in this place with her.

"But...... There's nothing here. After listening quietly to the redhead's speech, the leading woman hesitated for a while, but still said so. There is no slightly representative reference here, except that the stone is dark, and the only living person I encountered has just run away. How do we know where we are? ”

"Eye of the Storm."

The redhead looked up expressionlessly, and for a moment her face swayed in the light of the fire fold with a bit of elusive weirdness, and the little girl lying on the young man's back seemed to gasp uncontrollably, and then quickly hid herself and buried her face.

The only one who couldn't see anything was Qiu Xuan, her fingers retracted from the crack that had just poked out behind her, and for a moment she felt that the atmosphere between everyone seemed to be a little deadlocked.

She looked up slightly dazedly, and the red-haired gaze caught a glimpse of the other's dim eyes, stayed for a moment, and then quietly retracted them.

"As long as you find the eye of the storm, you can determine the direction." Redhead explained again, and this time her expression and tone returned to normal, as if what people had seen before was just an illusion. "Beneath the Abyss of Nothingness lies the eye of the storm, surrounded by storms large enough to shatter human bodies, and only rests for a certain period of time. And this is the only chance for people to be able to enter the eye of the storm. ”

The redhead closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing about the unbearable past. "As I said, the last time I fell into the Abyss, I was very lucky, not only did I find the place where the storm gathered, but I was also able to get out just a short time when the eye of the storm opened...... That's right, the place of the way out of the abyss of nothingness is at the very center of the eye of the storm. ”

"We've got to get there before we really have a chance to escape from nothingness."

The crowd fell silent. Not to mention the raging storm that sounded extremely dangerous, just rediscovering the specific location of the storm at the bottom of the vast abyss was enough for people to work for a considerable time.

While people were still pondering what to do next, in the distance where the wild man had been hiding, a burst of scattered footsteps sounded again.

The footsteps sounded very hurried and panicked, and it didn't seem like they knew that there were people in this place and came to attack them, because Qiu Xuan heard the sudden group of strangers seeing them here, and their mouths seemed to let out a little surprised cry.

The crowd re-entered the state of alert, and the young man drove the little girl behind a falling rock and told her to hide from coming out, and clenched the stone knife in his hand with a solemn face.

"How many of them are there?" Qiu Xuan's short knife came out of the sheath and turned his head to ask the black merchant beside him, who said, "Three of them." ”

It sounds pretty good, but I don't know what level those three people are.

Before she could even finish thinking about this, Qiu Xuan was about to confirm with the redhead how to divide the labor when a familiar aura suddenly exploded a little distance in front of her. Qiu Xuan couldn't see the dazzling white light that symbolized so-called holiness, but she could feel the power she had seen from it.

It was the red hair that made a move, and then even the three of them didn't have time to make a sound, and they were all gagged and muffled out of their throats as if they were muffled in pain.

People died.

Everyone was silent, as if they hadn't realized in a few seconds that it was all over. The leading woman opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound, glanced at the redhead with a little respect but fear, pursed her lips and prepared to leave here.

They temporarily decided on a direction and prepared to explore the past all the way along the source of the wind, Qiu Xuan was led out by Qin Jiuyuan, and paused when passing by the red hair, but before he could speak, the latter said first: "I said there wouldn't be any danger outside, you're too sensitive, Afu." ”

Qiu Xuan's eyes did not squint and looked ahead, "I hope so." ”

Truth be told, the Abyss of Nothingness is far less numerous than Osser's, but they are more extreme and unscrupulous. For example, in Osser, there will occasionally be a small number of people who are willing to form groups or organizations to exchange food resources with the outside world, and even if they see you carrying supplies during the robbery, they will let you go and not eat people.

But the abyss of nothingness is different, the hungry people who can survive at the bottom of the valley until now are the extremes of extremes, and they have survived all the way to the present by the same kind of flesh and blood. Every day they live in the slaughter of their kind, in their own blood or in the stumps of others, in ...... Born out of nothingness in countless strange things that the outside world could not even imagine.

At first, Qiu Xuan thought that the biggest difference between the Abyss of Nothingness and Osel was probably that it belonged to the inner layer of Oselle, and it was more difficult to get out than Oselle. And it wasn't until she came face to face with some monstrous vine-like tentacle plant that somehow emerged from the ground that she realized she had seen less.

All this happened when the group was hurrying towards a certain direction where the storm seemed to be gathering, and somehow, along the way, they met a lot more hungry savages living at the bottom of the valley than expected.

Even the redhead lamented that she hadn't seen so many people the last time she was here, and that those people didn't even glance at them, all of them looked like they were in a hurry.

By the time they reached a muddy swamp, it was much less common, and there was no one to be seen in the dark corners of the road. The moorland lay in the path of their target, and there was no other way but to cross it head-on.

Qiu Xuan took out the plastic raincoats that were all hoarded together from the space and wrapped himself and Qin Jiuyuan from head to toe, after all, who knows if the swamp mud will be poisonous, and the swamp that can exist in this kind of place is definitely not a serious swamp.

And the people on the 28th official road along the way were also numb to Qiu Xuan and the redhead's behavior of conjuring things out of their hands from time to time, in their perception that they didn't violate their worldview, it should be a special storage bag or something.

"The ......"

Qiu Xuan reached out and touched it a few times to make sure that the trouser legs were pierced, and tilted her head when she heard the words. The young man stood in front of her hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Your special 'clothes', can't, can't...... Wear one for Nono too? Don't worry, I can exchange things with you! Me, I...... When I get out, I'll give you all my savings! ”

"Okay." Anyway, there were more than a dozen of this kind of raincoat Qiu Xuan's pile of groceries in the warehouse, and she took out two more and handed them to the young man, who silently walked a few steps along her hand and caught them, with obvious joy on his face. "Thank you, really, thank you!"

The redhead had been watching this scene, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, he took out a jacket and handed it to the leading woman who looked a little embarrassed with her empty hands on the side.

The woman was stunned, looking at her with gratitude in her eyes.

"You pull me, hold me tight...... Forget it, I'll carry you. Qin Jiuyuan stepped into the swamp one step first, and after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned around and grabbed Qiu Xuan to adjust a few positions, but he was not satisfied, and immediately squatted down with his back to him.

"Don't, it's really hard to run when the time comes." Qiu Xuan patted him and told him to stand up, and went down to the moor with one hand on his shoulder. "Just pull me by the way, and tell me if you see something wrong."

The black merchant looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, but his arms were glued tightly together.

The group cautiously probed a few steps through the moor, and each step was replaced by the daughter of the sea, who had just changed her legs. Nearly half an hour had passed, and there was no danger except for the difficulty of walking under the feet, and people more or less let down their tight guards.

As soon as a person relaxes, something will happen.

When Qiu Xuan noticed that something was wrong, he was thinking about what was going on in the cave before, and the first person to scream was the young man, and when he didn't have time to react, the young man's whole person suddenly rose into the air and was suspended in mid-air.

When I looked closely, I saw that he was wrapped up in a tentacle-like dark purple vine with a waist thickness. A second after the young man was swept into the sky, as if to confirm their thoughts, a few vines broke out of the ground from the swamp a few inches next to him, and slammed them at the young man.

The young man endured the pain and threw down the little girl who clenched his teeth in his arms and did not cry, and the leading woman caught it.

"Let's go."

"Save him!"

"Don't move!"

The three sentences were uttered almost at the same time, and the redhead who was the first to leave was stunned for a moment, and then heard the man repeat, "Don't move, don't move." ”

"Redhead," Qiu Xuan shouted. "I can't see it, is there a way for you to burn the vines that hold him in place remotely, without your own people moving."

The redhead thought for a moment, "Yes." ”

The cross between her palms slashed out of thin air, and in an instant, the young man who was fixed to the tentacle-like vines and struggled was enveloped in white light. And in the next second, the white cage seemed to be covered with an invisible layer of burning white flames, and the young man himself was not affected, but the entangled vines were all twisted and scorched black as if they were painful.

The young man fell from the sky, and the leading woman subconsciously wanted to go up to help him, but as soon as the footsteps sounded and reached his ears, there was a shout behind him: "Let you not move!" ”

The woman's figure froze in place all of a sudden, and Qiu Xuan coughed and said to the young man. "You slowly get up, and then see who's closest to you now, and go and stand in the seat of the person closest to you."

The young man endured the corrosive pain coming from his body and raised his head, he didn't dare to stay in place any longer, and crawled to the red-haired position.

For a moment, all that was left was the sound of a sudden tentacle-like plant twisting and whipping on the moor.

"Each of them has a range of motion just a little bit in that place." Qiu Xuan listened for a long time, "As long as you don't step into the swamp where they are, you should be fine if you avoid walking." ”

Only then did the young man dare to make a small confirmation of the wound on his skin that had been corroded by the slime carried by the tentacle plants, and he grinned silently for a moment, carefully took a small stone from his pocket and threw it on the ground a few steps in front of him.

There was no movement.

"But what if...... So what if there's that stuff down there, too? The lead woman was silent for a moment and hesitated.

"Someone has to take that step first." The young man gritted his teeth, "Anyway, I've already experienced it once, once born and twice ripe." ”

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped in the direction where the stone had landed.
