Chapter 353: White Mist
I came back to my senses and looked down again, and there was nothing around me, empty except for a cold tombstone.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Youwei saw that I looked strange and came over to ask me.
I shook my head, sobered myself up, and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired, let's go, let's not delay here for too long." ”
I don't know how far the canyon is ahead, we have limited time and can't stay in one place for too long.
I'm afraid the content on the tombstone can't be unraveled in a while, and I can only take one step at a time.
I packed up my mood and set off, and walked along the rift valley, where the majestic peaks on both sides gave a sense of oppression, the wind swept from time to time with a whimper like a baby's cry, and the bottom of the canyon was extremely cold, and although there was sunshine, it was still dark in many places.
We walked slowly, and after turning a bend, there were more and more rocks on the ground, and these rocks looked strange, all of them stood like people, some looked up at the sky, some looked at the ground, some squatted to observe something, at first glance, it really looked like the bottom of the canyon was crowded with people.
We've walked through the crevices of the rocks, and it's been a long time since we entered, and nothing terrible has happened, and it doesn't seem to be the same as we had expected.
After walking for about ten minutes, I began to notice that on the cliffs on both sides, there were many large and small irregular holes, these holes were very small, each one was about the size of a fist, at first there were only a few, but in the back more and more, the cliffs were everywhere, densely packed with thousands of holes like honeycombs.
"How can there be so many holes?" Liu Kuaikou looked at the holes everywhere as he walked, and reached out to touch them, poking his eyes into it, and he couldn't see anything in the dark.
"This can't be the hole that the rats made earlier, right?" Wu Tian guessed, I went to observe, compared it in my mind, it didn't feel like it, those rats were bigger than fists, these holes were too small for them to get into at all.
As I walked forward, I became curious as there were more and more holes in the cliff, so I stopped to observe for a while, and climbed to a hole to look inside, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
"It's supposed to be inside the mountain." I guessed, took out the pre-prepared flashlight from my bag, turned it on, shone it into the hole, and then leaned on it to see what it looked like in the mountain.
When my eyes came to the entrance of the hole, my pupils shrank suddenly, and I saw that there was also an eyeball lying inside, staring at each other face to face with me!
"There's someone in there!" I was so frightened that I opened my mouth and shouted, and as soon as the voice fell, the eyeball inside seemed to be frightened, and suddenly "swished" and hid in the darkness and disappeared.
"Who?!" Liu Kuaikou was about to follow my example and look inside with a flashlight, when he heard me shout, his neck shrank in fright, he hurriedly stepped back, and looked at me in horror: "Don't be scary!" ”
"What a man!" I took a few steps back and said nervously, "I can see it clearly, it's right behind the hole!" ”
As soon as I said this, several people saw that I didn't seem to be joking, and they were all blindsided, Wu Tian looked at the entrance of the cave and retreated: "There are people hidden here?。。。 Isn't it looking at us right now? But how is this possible... ”
"It's like... What a person! Bai Youwei also seemed to see something, his face changed greatly, and his body dodged from the entrance of the cave and hid behind me.
Liu Kuaikou saw that something was wrong, and he also hid, and I looked back at the two of them a little helplessly: "What are you hiding behind me?" ”
"Nonsense! Now the only one who can fight here is you, where can you hide behind if you don't hide? ”
He said it rightly, I smiled helplessly, I didn't know that he could see that I was the most capable of fighting, in terms of physical strength, I am afraid that I am the most invincible among the four now.
At the moment, I didn't bother to think too much, and my attention quickly returned to the stone wall in front of me, the hole above was densely packed, like an ant cave, and it was uneasy to see, not to mention that there might be a person standing behind the cave entrance. Green
"Let's stop lingering here, let's go." I stared at the pitch-black fist-sized hole, and I felt very uneasy, and I hurriedly dragged everyone away.
After walking about ten meters away, I glanced back, and my heart trembled suddenly, and I saw a blood-red eye lying at the entrance of the cave, staring in the direction we were leaving.
"What's wrong...?" Wu Tian saw that my face was not very good-looking, and he wanted to look back, so I hurriedly grabbed him and pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
The reason why I didn't let him look back wasn't because I was scared of him, but because of that eye... It gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and I always felt as if I had seen it somewhere.
I pulled Wu Tian forward, and the group quickly walked out of this area, and at the zigzag canyon ahead, layers of thin fog began to appear.
"There's no river here, where does the fog come from?" Bai Youwei saw the fog around him, and immediately stopped vigilantly.
I also stopped to look around, and suddenly felt a little heavy in my breath, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: "In this fog... It seems that there is particulate matter. ”
"What is this?" Wu Tian waved his hand a few times in the white mist, only to see that something white immediately stuck to the palm of his hand, which looked like dust at first glance, but it was obviously not dust.
"It's kind of like a dandelion." Bai Youwei looked at the white thing on his palm, and said uncertainly: "But if you look closely, it's not, I seem to have seen this thing somewhere... But I won't be able to remember it for a while. ”
I don't know what it is, and I honestly don't care, but the problem is that this thing floats in the air, burrowing into our lungs between breaths, and I don't know if it hurts.
I covered my mouth and nose with my clothes and said, "It's better to be on guard, cover your nose with something, just in case." ”
As we continued to move forward, the road between the canyons gradually widened, but then the white particles floating in the air became thicker and thicker, as if we were going deeper and deeper into an unknown depth, as if we had fallen into the sea.
"It's been a long time, and I haven't seen anything." I walked in front and heard Liu Kuaikou's voice behind me: "How deep is this rift valley, shouldn't it be impossible to walk all the time?" ”
"Maybe it's a bottomless pit." Bai Youwei said coldly, and everyone listened to it in a cold sweat.
The deeper we went, the less life we felt around, and there were birds flying over the canyon from time to time, making two calls, but now the surroundings were quiet, and there was no sound, as if we had completely disconnected from human society.
As I walked on, the line of sight became worse and worse, the visibility became less and less, and I began to feel that something was wrong, the particles in the air were too dense, as if these things were growing in the air, very weird.
"What the hell is this?" I stopped, not daring to go any further, and was about to discuss with everyone what to do, but when I turned around, I found that there was a white expanse behind me, and there was no one behind.
All of a sudden, I panicked.
"Wu Tian? Brother Liu! Old white! Where are you? I covered my nose with my clothes and screamed anxiously, the surroundings were quiet, I couldn't see anything, it was all white, and dense particles fluttered in the air and suspended around my body, like tiny insects, which made people feel frightened.
As we continue to go deeper, the surroundings have become empty and open, the line of sight in front of me is limited, I can't tell where I am, and I can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, I stood in place, dumbfounded on the spot, looking around, at a loss.
"It shouldn't be, it's clear that I'm still following behind me just now, so it's impossible to say that it's gone." I tried to calm myself down and think about what was going on: "Even if we get separated, we won't go too far, or maybe I'll meet each other if I go back?" ”
I was thinking about it, and I was about to walk back, when I heard a slight footstep coming from behind me.
The voice was very soft, I don't know who it was, but I knew that this footstep must not be one of them.
