Chapter Seventy-Three: Blood Red Moss
Walking slowly along the underground passage, the footsteps of the crowd could be stretched far in this passage, and the "crackling" sound of the torches from time to time became a little more monotonous.
"What is the world like on the surface?" Thorne mustered up his few courages, but in the end the ban of the villagers failed to overcome his exuberant curiosity.
The people in the village didn't know why, they were obviously very concerned about the situation on the ground, but they were not allowed to talk about it, and they knew about the "ground", or because they had overheard their parents' conversation, so they knew that there was such a place.
"The surface world?" The three anchors were stunned when they heard this question, but they didn't expect Thorne to ask such a question.
Yu Zhao saw the curiosity in Thorne's eyes, looked around, tried to find an example that Thorne could understand, pondered for a while, and said seriously, "You probably won't like it." ”
"Why?" Thorne was puzzled, and sometimes he dreamed of going to the surface to see what the sun was like as the teacher spoke of.
"Because you're going to be afraid of falling on it."
"Scared...... ...... you fall on it? Thorne looked up at the top of his head in confusion and looked at Yu Zhao with a puzzled expression.
He could understand if he fell, but why did he fall up?
"There's going to be a lot of trees on the surface, the kind of very tall plants, you know." Pei Hengwu added.
"Trees? But there are also underground, and they are also very tall. ”
"Oh, what tree?" Yu Zhao was a little curious, could there be trees underground?
"That's it...... Mushroom trees. Thorne thought for a moment, and then said, he couldn't find the right words to describe the mushroom tree in his mind.
...... mushrooms grow into trees?
The three anchors can't make up how a mushroom can become a tree, and this teenager is afraid that he has some misunderstanding about the tree?
Yu Zhao suddenly felt that this live broadcast was interesting, due to various reasons, he didn't have a good experience of the customs in the previous live broadcast, and often just made a passerby in a hurry.
This time, I think I will have a chance to experience life in another world? Or maybe something different?
At this moment, everyone smelled a strange fishy smell.
In many cases, an eerie smell, whether fragrant or smelly, means danger.
"What does it smell like?" Yu Zhao asked with a frown.
As soon as he smelled this strange fishy smell, he felt that something was wrong, and it was as if something was peeking at him.
Thorne also smelled the smell, looked around, took a few steps forward to look at the ground, and turned back to Yu Zhaozhi and shook his head, "I don't know, I've never smelled this smell." ”
The teacher in the village had never told anything like it, and he had never smelled it.
"The village is ahead?"
"I'm not sure," Thorne shook his head again, "we'll need to go further down the passage to the intersection with the other diggers, and we'll be able to locate the village based on the markings left behind by the diggers, but not yet." ”
"Can you take a detour?" Yu Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at this pitch-black passage, the firelight could not shine far, and it seemed that this passage was extraordinarily deep.
"It seems that I can't, along the way, I only found this one tunnel of digging worms, the others are all naturally formed, I'm not sure where these forks in the road will take us." Thorne answered honestly.
In the village, the teachers only taught them how to identify the passages dug by the diggers, but they never gave them the means to survive in the wild caves, so that the children could settle down and avoid venturing into the naturally formed caves.
Otherwise, according to a child of Thorne's temperament, he would definitely sneak out and take risks.
The three members of the Changfeng team silently exchanged glances with each other, and finally the live broadcast task was above all else, after experiencing a man-made "program effect" incident, Yu Zhao didn't want to experience it a second time.
Moreover, the effect warning of that show was more than punishment, and it seemed to be more humane, as if Yu Zhao was just a first offense.
He said, "Let's go, let's go back to the village first, maybe there is no danger." ”
Thorne, no matter how young he was, noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time, and the faces of the three travelers became solemn, and the smell of fishy smell also gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made him a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, we still want to go to the village to rest, as long as it is not a last resort, we will not abandon you, she testifies." Pei Hengwu looked at Thorne's mood a little nervous, comforted him, and mentioned Zheng Xuan by the way.
Although these words made Zheng Xuan roll his eyes at Pei Hengwu again, it was indeed effective, after all, Yu Zhao and they were able to come to the Earth Hermit's lair to rescue their teammates, which meant that they might indeed save Thorne.
This sentence calmed Thorne's mind a lot.
Pei Hengwu casually poured some slime on the torch, making the flame of the torch a little more vigorous, and walked at the front of the team.
Before, it was because of the relationship of letting Thorne lead the way, and Thorne was always in front, but now Pei Hengwu feels that it would be better to take the lead by himself.
The further I went, the stronger the stench became, and the shimmering plants around me disappeared imperceptibly, replaced by a kind of red moss that covered the entire passage in a dense way, as if someone had brushed it with blood dye.
Yu Zhao kept an eye on it, carefully observing this blood-red moss that Thorne couldn't even name, only to feel that this moss was blood-red from beginning to end, and its roots were deeply rooted in the rock wall, and with Yu Zhao's current strength, he couldn't pull it out.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but I feel that this stone wall seems to be stained with a trace of blood red.
Moreover, the seemingly slender moss was so tough that Thorne tried to cut off a part of it with a knife, but he barely cut a third of the stem.
Zheng Xuan took the torch and burned the moss a little, and found that the effect was not very ideal, even if Pei Hengwu then added some slime mucus to it, but this moss could still last under the scorching flame for several minutes without drying up or deforming.
Even if it was eventually ignited, it emitted a foul odor similar to the one I had smelled before.
"What the hell is this?" Pei Hengwu carefully looked at this blood-red moss, it was simply an upgraded version of psoriasis, invulnerable, invulnerable, and extremely tenacious.
Looking at this blood-red moss, Yu Zhao vaguely grasped something, but this inspiration was fleeting, he didn't have time to grasp it, and he could only give up after thinking about it to no avail.
The team stopped just to get information about the terrain and vegetation in advance.
After Pei Hengwu completely scorched a certain piece of blood-red moss, the team set off again, and the pace was obviously a few points faster than before.
There's weirdness everywhere here, and the sooner you leave, the better.
Putting aside Yu Zhao and his party, Tao Yifei at this time was also walking in the blood-red passage.
The difference was that the passage she was in was darker and redder than Yu Zhao's, and the blood-red moss on the stone wall covered the entire stone wall even more densely, without revealing the slightest gap.
At this time, Tao Yifei held the dagger in both hands, tied a company-made flashlight to her shoulder, and walked slowly.
She didn't want to leave the place quickly, as the sound of hurried footsteps would only attract the attention of more monsters and focus more eyes hiding in the darkness.
Besides, she needed time to think about it now......
Her eyes were still blank, still in a daze, but if her guide swordsman was here, she could clearly feel a sense of meaning slowly forming in her.
This kind of meaning, which is the so-called "sword intent" and "sword intent", is a feeling that will slowly form only after the mastery of weapons has reached a certain level.
Only with such an artistic conception can the cultivation system of swordsmen be regarded as a first glimpse of the doorway, and it is a little successful.
The so-called one sword breaks ten thousand laws, relying on this indescribable feeling.
It's just that the company can give anything, but it can't give a service like this type of experience, this kind of practice is purely based on personal understanding, and the shortcut can only spend points to consult the predecessors, otherwise it can only be a water mill, little by little accumulation.
The knife man only vaguely felt a little bit in the second live broadcast after the official regularization.
It's just that Tao Yifei has begun to slowly cultivate her "spirit", which means that her progress is faster and stronger than the swordsman back then!
The deepest impression of Tao Yifei is her double talent start, but everyone ignores that her attributes are just a manifestation of her qualifications.
In the company, in the live broadcast, it is not a game of pure competition attributes, to see who is bigger and who wins, but a combination of various factors.
Otherwise, that unlucky Song Tianlu would not have died in the hands of Tao Yifei at the beginning.
Killing people by leapfrogging is no joke.
Just look at Pei Hengwu and Zheng Xuan, the strength of the two is already one of the best among the anchors in the same period, but they are still beaten.
If there is no omen in the middle, the balance of victory will be heavily tilted in favor of the Sunstrider Guild.
Her daze is just a form of exercise.
And now, she seems to have found a little feeling, a sense of loneliness that she has not felt for a long time, which reminds her of the time before she joined the company......
Speaking of which, it may make everyone unbelievable, Tao Yifei is a child who is a double headache for teachers and parents - a problem girl with excellent grades.
She is a top student, but she likes to collect weapons and can do questions honestly, but she will lock herself in her room in her spare time, and "talk to herself" with all kinds of cold weapons alone.
The family also saw a doctor, but the conclusion was that they were sane.
This "sane" conclusion made her family almost sane.
Who has ever seen a girl walking around the house at night with a long knife that has been bladed?
Who can accept that in the middle of the night, the sound of weapons suddenly intersecting in their daughter's room?
What's even more terrifying is that when they asked about it, the daughter's answer was extremely light: "The two of them were not convinced and fought." ”
Who can stand such a reply?
Fortunately, Tao Yifei's parents are still very patient, although they can't understand their daughter's behavior, they can only comfort themselves: "At least my daughter's situation is not known to others." ”
In the eyes of others, Tao Yifei is actually a cold female academic bully, not close to people, and acquaintances are also ignorant.
She didn't have many friends, and of course she didn't need friends, a room full of weapons was her best friend.
It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that she spent her childhood in fear and incomprehension.
She couldn't explain why others couldn't hear weapons, or why others had an inexplicable fear of weapons.
She carefully hid herself, like a little squirrel in winter, trying to hide her doubts as much as possible.
What others saw was just a little bit of information that she left out after clutching the secret in her hand.
She thought that this situation would last for a long time, and that she might follow her to the grave, but it was only a chance and inevitable interview invitation that changed her fate.
She meets the Swordsman, a fellow of the same kind who can also hear the sound of weapons, and finally knows that she is no longer alone.
Tao Yifei's thoughts drifted far away, but her momentum was rising.
If the swordsman was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded, at this rate, as long as he could last for one or two cigarettes, Tao Yifei's strength would be able to catch up with him!
Fortunately, this state only lasted for less than a few breaths, and Tao Yifei gradually got out of the ethereal state of epiphany, and her eyes and temperament changed slightly.
It was at this moment that she heard heavy footsteps in the darkness not far away......
