Chapter 21: Re-entering the Tower of the Mist × Divine Punishment
Zuo Sai and the others thoughtfully touched the taste in their mouths, and Ai Rou looked at Qi Yu in a daze.
Qi Yu filled another half bowl of fried noodles and took out a piece of bread and put it together. Comparing the two, the size of the bread is much larger than the small half bowl of fried noodles. Everyone's eyes lit up again, especially Ai Rou.
"Qi. You mean to say that we only take this ~burnt~ flour with us when we go hunting, and that's it? Looks like you can bring more than bread? ”
"Yes, with the same volume, we can bring more to eat. I will definitely be able to go further, for half a month longer. ”
Qi Yu looked at Zuo Sai, and Zuo Sai and Rahavier nodded to each other, affirming Qi Yu's statement.
If you go farther west, maybe you will be able to return to the valley, Qi Yu added silently in his heart, and then walked to Xiang Airou alone and handed her the bowl.
"BY THE WAY, THIS IS CALLED ~CHAO~ FRIED NOODLES."
After selling the fried noodles of victory, Qi Yu commanded Ai Rou to sew a long bag of fried noodles out of linen, because the linen cloth was a little sparse, and a few layers were added. The long bag is filled with fried noodles and then compacted to become a thick, round and slender strip that is very convenient to carry behind your back.
Seeing the complete set of things, Zuo Sai and the others were very happy, and hurriedly asked Ai Rou to return to the tribe with the samples to do so.
When the tribe once again brought supplies to the camp, everyone was ready to go.
There wasn't much emotion, and there was no reluctance to see him off, it was a hunting trip that was no different from usual.
Only the aunt of the tribe specially told Qi Yu to come back safely, and he must go to the tribe after he comes back.
For so long, Qi Yu hadn't been to the tribe once.
Qi Yu nodded. Followed by the brigade of Zosai and Rajavier.
With a team of more than 20 people, it gradually disappeared at the junction of the loess and the black plain.
————
Entering the Divine Punishment Field, you enter the familiar fog.
The familiar black-gray stone rice, soaked in mist, looks oily and shiny.
The walking procession suddenly stopped in one place. Zuo Sai kneaded a fried dough, threw it into his mouth, and called Qi Yu.
"Qi, this is the place where you last appeared, and in front of it is the dense forest of ice and snow and the desperate glacier, you said that you came out of that place, remember?"
Qi Yu was in a trance when he heard this. It's been almost two months. Finally here again, I don't know what happened to the little one.
Looking at Qi Yu, who looked wrong, Zuo Saizui moved slightly a few times, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Qi. Let's separate here if you want. I'm sorry to keep you for so long. ”
Qi Yu shook his head, turned around and walked to the side. Zuo Sai and Rahavir looked at each other for a moment, and they both laughed silently, it seemed that they were not wrong, although Zuo Sai did figure out that he was willing to let Qi Yu leave, but it would be great to be able to have one more partner on the next journey.
The team continued to move, heading west.
The line of two dozen people did not stretch very long. There were people on both sides and behind the guard, Zuo Sai, Qi Yu, Rahavier and another strong fighter assigned to the four sides.
A hurried rustling sound sounded on the stone rice in the distance, and the fog rolled in front of the team, and two black figures ran back, the warriors who were exploring the way in front of the head, ran to the left race and stood still, and reported two numbers.
Zuo Sai took out the map that had been hanging in his room from his arms, and spread out the map, the map was very large, Qi Yu and Rahavir caught it, and only reluctantly opened it.
Qi Yu had already seen the map, and Zuo Sai had never avoided him. There were mountains, rivers, land, and glaciers on it, but there was no Maple Valley and Nutao Town that he wanted to find.
On the map, the Divine Punishment Plain was marked with a lot of black dots, neatly and neatly, and there were symbols representing numbers next to the points, and now Qi Yu finally knew the meaning of those numbers.
Left Sai finger wandered around the map, and finally found the point represented by the number in the warrior's mouth.
After entering the Divine Punishment Field, it is no longer possible to rely on the corona to keep time, every time the tribe goes out hunting, there will be walkers to join, responsible for logistics and auxiliary things, and they only know the time. The very ingenious and precious hourglass is a treasure given by the queen for hunting.
Follow the Pathfinder's direction. In less than an hour, the group finally reached the point on the map.
————
A dark stone mound suddenly appeared in front of him in the mist.
Although there was fog on this vast stone field, Qi Yu could still see the range of about twenty meters.
There was nothing in front of me just now, but now something suddenly popped out in front of me.
What surprised Qi Yu didn't move the others, they had long been used to it.
The stone mounds were very large, and the stacked stones reminded Qi Yu of the rock wall where the fortress was located.
The tower is round and very high, and the black, white and gray schist bite each other to build up the outer wall of the tower.
The upper part of the tower was round, towering into the mist, like a thick thumb.
A gray mist flowed in and out of the crevices of the rock chips in the tower's walls, as if the tower was breathing as if it were alive. This terrifying giant thing made Qi Yu feel a trace of coldness.
The base of the tower has four decorative stones, oriented in four directions. There were four different mottled symbols carved on the stones, symbols that Qi Yu had never seen on the paperwork of the war camp.
One of the stones was facing the direction they had come, and directly above it there was a small gap in the tower that looked dark and bottomless.
Zosai called out to a walker with a sack of grain and water on his back, and after a few words, the walker pulled out a small stack of papyrus and charcoal protected by a wooden pole.
Zosey took out a pamphlet from his bosom, and as if to compare the contents with it, he wrote a few lines of papyrus on the man's back. When he had finished writing, he rolled up, grabbed the scroll, and put his arm into the only gap in the tower, and waited there without getting down to the base of the tower.
For a while, maybe a few minutes, Qi Yu suddenly felt a palpitation, and the fog around the round tower suddenly flowed very quickly, and there was even a sharp whistling sound from the tower, which was the sound of the wind and the fog shuttling rapidly.
The whistling sound became higher and higher, and in Qi Yu's ears, it slowly turned into the sound of people screaming in pain. But Qi Yu didn't feel the power to sink and bewilder. Qi Yu hurriedly put on the headband he was wearing backwards, but the visor of his right eye was still blurry and there was no white shadow.
Looking at the surrounding warriors, they didn't wear headbands, and it seemed that the howl was just a sound wave.
Qi Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw that his arm had been in the tower, standing on the pedestal, and shouting loudly to Rahavir, who heard the call, commanded all the soldiers to gather around the tower with a heavy face, and guarded it closely, and everyone's heads even broke out with dense fine sweat.
The howl grew louder and louder, until the faint hissing sound reached the ears while wearing the headband, and when the sound rose to the top, the howl stopped.
At this time, the white mist around seemed to be sucked out by the round tower, and it was silent.
Everyone put on their heads, Rajavier also took off the giant shield, and with a few gestures, the surrounding warriors formed three squads, tightly guarded around the left side. Qi Yu stood alone next to the left game as he had trained, ready to fill the gap at any time.
It's just that what everyone didn't see was that Qi Yu silently reached into his backpack, took out a small earthy red thing, and held it behind his back.
