Chapter 433: Lost
Halfway through the trip, Yang Zhen cautiously approached Chen Fan and asked in a low voice, "Chen Fan, you didn't even bring weapons with you in this operation, are you sure?" ”
Before leaving, Chen Fan had already handed over the long knife to Wu Tian for further forging, although he carried a small dagger with him, but the dagger was no longer the one he was used to, but an ordinary dagger he received from the military, which was not obviously helpful for improving his combat power.
Chen Fan said, "It doesn't matter, my left hand has been cured, even if I don't use that long knife, I won't lose much combat power, and the Chiyan Python is dead, as long as I don't meet an opponent with third-level combat power, it's no problem." ”
"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Fan was so confident in this trip, Yang Zhen didn't say anything anymore, but repeatedly told the people around him to be careful.
After continuing to walk for about half an hour, everyone had approached the poisonous miasma forest outside the Death Canyon, Yang Zhen hurriedly pointed to the low end of the potholes on both sides of the canyon and said, "Wang Yi and they were attacked here, and there are still many traces of battle on the ground." ”
Chen Fan hurriedly stepped forward to observe, and sure enough, a large number of burn marks appeared in the Pinggu near the peach blossom miasma area, the earth was scorched black, and a large number of irregular cracks appeared on the soil, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a large crater created by the flame light ball launched by the Red Flame Python.
Chen Fan picked up a small handful of dirt, leaned under his nose and sniffed, his expression becoming more and more unnatural.
Zhou Tao saw that his face was different, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What's the matter, what's wrong with these traces?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with the traces, but there's one thing I don't understand." Chen Fan sprinkled the scorched earth on the ground, looked around at the poisonous miasma around and said, "The nest of the Red Flame Python is in the depths of the Death Canyon, it stands to reason that this guy has no reason to stay here to block Wang Yi, why was Wang Yi attacked as soon as he walked into the Death Canyon?" This doesn't make sense! ”
"There's another point, and it's what I'm most puzzled about." Zhou Tao twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and then said along with the words, "The Chiyan Python does have an enmity with us, and it is reasonable that it will retaliate against Yunxi City, but the timing of its appearance is too coincidental, just when the city defense of Yunxi City is the emptiest. ”
Chen Fan said, "You're right, this point is indeed very suspicious, I have always suspected that there may be a pair of invisible hands behind this matter, pushing all this." ”
"This ...... Unlikely, right? Zhou Tao's eyes flickered for a long time, and then he blinked his eyes and asked, "Could it be that someone is deliberately calculating us?" But why is that? ”
Chen Fan couldn't explain the reason for a while, first the reagent that almost made him crazy, then Wang Yi suddenly proposed to enter the Death Canyon, and then the Red Flame Python attacked the city, this line seemed to be connected, if all this was just a simple coincidence, it would be too outrageous.
Zhou Tao's face was gloomy, as if a storm was brewing, and he clenched his fists and said, "If your speculation is correct, then there may already be an opponent in Yunxi City that we can't see, and if we can't dig him out in time, there will definitely be ** annoyance in the future." ”
Chen Fan nodded and said, "I have already thought of this, the reason why I didn't bring Zhao Yu and Lin Yuan this time is to guard against the attacks of other strange beasts, on the other hand, it is also to let Zhao Yu lurk secretly and protect Liu Yun Mountain, if there really is such a person, the other party is very likely to attack Liu Yun Mountain while we are not there, this kind of thing cannot be guarded against." ”
"If I find this guy, I'll definitely tear up all his bones!" Zhou Tao gritted his teeth viciously and said angrily.
"Let's not discuss this topic yet, if Wang Yi is still alive, where do you think he is most likely to flee?" Chen Fan interrupted Zhou Taodao.
Zhou Tao groaned and said, "Of course he ran into the Death Canyon, in the entire other world, it was the only place Wang Yi was familiar with, and it was very likely that he would find a place to lurk, and then wait for our support, or look for an opportunity to return to the real world." ”
"That's right, so we'll have to go inside the canyon and have a look." Chen Fan pointed to the thick fog floating in front of him and said, "Let's go behind me, although the poisonous miasma here has been destroyed, there is still a large amount of poisonous gas left in the air, which will cause a lot of burden to the junior ability." ”
"It's okay, I've thought of that!" Zhou Tao suddenly strode to the front of the team, slowly stretched out his hands, and then, one of his arms directly liquefied, turning into a white color of frost and snow, and many small water droplets suddenly appeared on the surface of that hand, shooting like raindrops into the depths of the poisonous miasma.
The water droplets continued to explode in the air, forming a large amount of water mist, and the water mist melted into the poisonous miasma, fusing with the poisonous gas in the air, diluting the poisonous gas to a certain concentration, and then he turned around and smiled at Chen Fan, "This is the method I have thought of a long time ago, last time we could only rely on Zhao Yu's wind blade to solve the problem, but this time I evolved more thoroughly, even without her wind blade, we can smoothly cross this area." ”
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Good job, everyone come with me!" ”
After speaking, Chen Fan took the lead in burrowing into the poisonous miasma forest.
After evolving into a second-level ability, Chen Fan's resistance to toxins was also greatly enhanced, and these dense mist miasma could not pose any threat to Chen Fan, but Yang Zhen and the others were still primary abilities after all, and they could not resist the terrifying corrosiveness in the poisonous miasma, so they could only rely on Zhou Tao to control the water vapor to dilute these poisonous barriers.
Of course, doing so will also cause a certain burden on Zhou Tao, so they must speed up.
After advancing for hundreds of meters, the dense fog around them became deeper and deeper, but at this time there was some commotion in the team, Wang Feng suddenly squeezed away from the crowd and ran to the front, and said to Chen Fan, who had stopped, "Something is wrong, we seem to have gone astray." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Fan was puzzled, and Yang Zhen beside him also looked puzzled and said, "Did you walk this road last time, what about the Zerg monsters on the road, why didn't you find any of them?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly recalled that the last time he passed through this poisonous miasma, there were clearly many Zerg creatures in the poisonous miasma, but this time they walked extremely smoothly, not to mention the Zerg beasts, they didn't even hear a sound of the wind, it was too calm here, but it was a little abnormal.
Zhou Tao continued to dilute the poisonous miasma around him, and at the same time said with a puzzled face, "Could it be because the Zerg monsters are scared by us?" Don't forget that the last time we entered Death Canyon, we killed a lot of zergs, and these guys probably hid because they were afraid of us. ”
"That's not right!" Chen Fan categorically vetoed, "The Zerg monster won't be so timid, and I really didn't even notice the slightest hint of the aura of the beast, if you look at the road under your feet, it is completely different from the place we walked first, it seems that it is indeed a fork in the road." ”
"That'...... Why don't you quit first? Zhou Tao hesitated.
"Okay, let's retreat along the same path and find a new way." Chen Fan couldn't come up with any good solution for the time being, so he had to nod in agreement.
But after this retreat, everyone soon discovered a new problem.
When Chen Fan decided to lead everyone back along the same road, he found that the terrain under his feet was completely different from just now, and the road they had just walked seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a completely unfamiliar road.
