Chapter 272: Scarlet Mire

The main reason why Xue Ning was able to maintain his composure was because Xue Ning was sure that although this place was full of dangers, it was definitely not a dead realm. After all, there is a national capital here.

The current situation Xue Ning seems to be in a dilemma, but Xue Ning firmly believes that it must be because he and others have ignored some key that has led to the current predicament, or the time is not right......

"Don't panic, order the advance team to rest in place. Du Yun, you lead the team to keep this, Lucy, you come with me to the front to have a look. ”

"Yes"

"Yes"

Du Yun and Lucy were ordered to say yes.

The advance team was stationed in place, while Xue Ning. Lucy and the others quickly broke away from the group and continued to travel forward for another while. In this process, Xue Ning kept looking back to confirm the distance between himself and the advance team, and at the same time carefully checked the memories of the giant fat man.

"No, no! How could there not be? Haven't the giant fat man and the others encountered this scene in front of them? No, it shouldn't be...... Maybe it's just a well-known little situation for the people of the wasteland, yes, it must be. ”

That's the only way, there is no record of the situation here in the memories of the giant fat men, and the reason is that this situation is too commonplace.

Xue Ning led Du Yun and the two to stop and go, and soon, Xue Ning noticed something abnormal.

Xue Ning and the two walked in the direction of the Scarlet Mountains with their backs to the advance team for about five minutes, and in this process, Xue Ning could see the distance between the two of them and the advance team change, but after five minutes, no matter how Xue Ning and Du Yun walked, the distance between the advance team and Xue Ning and the two did not change.

"What's the problem? Could it be that a ghost is hitting the wall? Spatial overlap? Magnetic field confusion? Kindness...... Wait, the magnetic field is chaotic! ”

Xue Ning's heart flashed with inspiration, and he thought of a story, and the things experienced by the people in that story were extremely similar to the situation of the advance team at this time.

The story is about an explorer who walked into a barren Gobi desert surrounded by a chaotic magnetic field that interfered with the compass and human perception of direction, causing people to constantly draw circles in place in an area.

"Magnetic field, draw a circle......" Xue Ning was introverted, muttering in the air, and looking at the advance team behind him.

"Lucy, let's take a walk." Xue Ning looked back at the station, and silently wrote down the people in the advance team who faced him.

After walking for a while, Xue Ning looked back again. This time, Xue Ning finally confirmed his judgment.

"Is it really going round and round?" The people who originally looked like Xue Ning in their sight were gone, replaced by other soldiers found in the advance team.

It is much easier to identify the cause of the predicament encountered by yourself and others, and to come up with a solution. Xue Ning's first thought was to rely on the power of his soul to do navigation.

The human body's directional perception is susceptible to external images, but the soul is not.

As soon as he said it, Xue Ning immediately closed his eyes, and with the guidance of his soul power, he tried again.

Another five minutes later, Xue Ning opened his eyes expectantly and looked back at the station, but was disappointed to find that he and Lucy were still drawing circles in place.

"Is it a special magnetic field that can be blinded even by soul perception? Now things are in trouble. It was only at this time that Xue Ning really felt a little tricky.

Just when the advance team's way forward was blocked and Xue Ning was helpless, a thunderclap suddenly erupted from the Sky Void.

"Click~~~~~!"

The thunder was deafening, and the momentum could shatter the sky.

With the outbreak of this thunder, the originally dead and silent world seemed to suddenly awaken.

The most obvious feeling is that Xue Ning can feel the wind. Although it was only a slight hint of wind, it was like a stone thrown into a pool of stagnant water, and the ripples set off a chain reaction.

"Huh~~~~~ Huh~~~~~"

The wind gradually rose and soon became a violent wind.

"Click~~~~!Click~~~~!"

In the dense scarlet clouds of the Sky Void, huge lightning bolts across the mid-sky sky frequently appeared. The sound of thunder rippled through the world.

"Drip-Drip-Drip-Drip"

Suddenly, Xue Ning felt a little dampness on his face, and raised his head slightly

"This! Is it going to rain? It seems to be to verify Xue Ning's guess. The red raindrops gradually intensified, and soon turned into a continuous light rain.

At the moment when the rain curtain formed, a faint memory in the depths of Xue Ning's soul suddenly appeared.

"I see! Oh no, Lucy, get back to the station! ”

......"The light rain developed rapidly, and soon evolved into a torrential rain.

The scarlet rain slammed down on the cracked earth, and soon the ground turned into mud.

The sudden change caught the advance team off guard, originally only temporarily stationed, so the advance team did not set up tents, so at this time, everyone could only resist in the face of this sudden rainstorm.

"Everybody watch your step! Watch your step! ”

Far away, Xue Ning loudly warned the advance team. Du Yun saw Xue Ning running towards the station from a distance, but because the rain curtain was too big and the rain was noisy, Xue Ning's warning was not conveyed in time.

The warning did not go smoothly, and Xue Ning had to choose to rush back to the camp as soon as possible, but fortunately, Xue Ning and Lucy were not far from the camp.

Not long after Xue Ning issued a warning, when the advance team was busy setting up tents to shelter from the rain.

"Poof-click!"

"Huh? Yes~~~~~! ”

From beneath the muddy ground, a blood-red withered claw suddenly stretched out, and the claw grabbed the ankle of one of the advance team members closest to it.

Due to the heavy rain and poor vision, the soldier who was grabbed by the ankle with the blood-red claw only felt something stumbling on his ankle at first, and subconsciously the soldier lifted it vigorously.

This mention was a bad thing, the originally weak and weak withered bloody hand suddenly exerted force, and at that moment, the soldier clearly heard a "click". Then there was a sharp pain in the ankle like a crack in the bone.

The soldier immediately exhaled in pain.

The appearance of the first bloody hand seemed to kick off some kind of prelude, and gradually more and more bloody hands reached out from under the ground. And the common goal of these bloody hands is the members of the advance team in this land.

"Don't move, cut off bloody hands, don't draw legs!"

At this time, Xue Ning's warning finally came, and the answer was already too late.

At first, the soldier who was grabbed by the ankle did not hear Xue Ning's warning, and was eager to withdraw his foot the moment he was caught by the bloody hand, this draw did not matter, the bloody hand seemed to have been opened some kind of confinement, only to see the muddy ground roll for a while, and soon, a withered human figure crawled out of the ground.

The blood-red figure seemed to have shrunken and shriveled from the prolonged drought here. The blood-colored humanoid body is withered and resembles a dried corpse. Their faces are distorted, and they seem to have been subjected to extremely horrific torture in their lives, and they can still see hideous and terrifying scars on their bodies.

"Bad thing! Lucy, be careful not to draw your legs when you are caught by the bloody hand, and cut off the bloody hand directly. As he spoke, Xue Ning took out the bronze steel sword and the mantis broadsword from the Sumeru ring. After throwing the mantis knife to Lucy, he quickly cut off the two bloody hands that grabbed his ankles. Xue Ning continued to speed up and continue to run towards the camp.

The moment the blood-colored withered claws were severed and landed, they still writhed violently, resembling those severed octopus feet.

After walking for a distance of five minutes, it took Xue Ning nearly ten minutes to really run back, because Xue Ning was blocked by too many bloody hands along the way.

Originally, he wanted to control the situation as much as possible, but when Xue Ning actually arrived at the station, he found that the situation at this time was on the verge of getting out of control.

At first, it was just a blood-colored humanoid who was dragged out of the muddy red background, but the problem was that as the blood-colored humanoid was freed, more and more bloody hands turned their targets to the blood-colored figure, and as a result, the number of blood-colored dried corpses crawling out of the ground gradually increased.

"Everyone, listen, don't draw your legs, cut off your bloody hands directly with your saber!" Xue Ning warned everyone loudly. Unfortunately, because of the noise of blood rain and everyone's fear, not many people chose to listen to Xue Ning's opinion.

Most people caught by bloody hands will subconsciously choose to pump their legs hard, and the result is that more and more blood-colored dried corpses are pulled out of the ground.

"Ah~~~~! Ah~~~ Save me! Save me~~~! Ah~~~ crunch!! ”

It was accompanied by a terrible wail, and a scalp-tingling grinding sound. Casualties began to appear in the advance team.

Although the blood-colored dried corpse was slow, its single strength was huge, and Xue Ning estimated that even the most ordinary blood-colored dried corpse here had the physique of a fifth-level evolutionary.

The survivors in the Xue family realm have all been injected with physique enhancers, but even so, the average physique of the survivors in the Xue family realm is only two levels.

Xue Ning, the combat unit in the advance team, selected the elite in the army, and the average physique could reach level four, but even so, it was still one level worse than the blood-colored dried corpse.

Fortunately, the blood-colored corpses have no intelligence, and their own defense is extremely poor, their bodies seem to have become extremely fragile due to long-term dehydration, and it doesn't take much strength for the soldiers to cut off their bloody hands.

"Poof! Poof! "Don't fight, kill me! Xue Ning kept waving the bronze steel sword in his hand, the cyan sword flashed, and the severed hands flew one by one.

"Ahhh~~~Save me~~Save me~~Save ......"

I don't know what the bloody corpses are, but they have a very similar temperament to zombies, they like human flesh and blood, and those members of the advance team who were thrown to the ground were covered in blood corpses in the blink of an eye, and then eaten up.

For those who didn't listen to the advice, Xue Ning didn't plan to spend energy to save them, and at this time, Xue Ning couldn't save them even if he wanted to.

More and more blood-colored corpses crawled out from beneath the ground, and a huge encirclement gradually formed around the perimeter of the advance party.

Xue Ning saw it clearly, if this encirclement was allowed to continue to expand, they would definitely be dragged to death here in the end.

Xue Ning took the lead, and a bronze steel sword flashed. The blood-colored corpses that stood in the way were brutally beheaded.

Lucy and Du Yun led the members of the advance team who reacted closely behind, and kept waving the saber in their hands.

The blood rain is still increasing, and gradually it is very difficult for everyone to even open their eyes, and everyone can only slash everything around them with their eyes closed. However, this caused a lot of accidental injuries within the advance team.

At the moment when the situation was in crisis, everyone suddenly felt that the obstacle from the blood rain was suddenly much smaller. There was a terrifying whirlwind in my ears.

Xue Ning seemed to be aware of something in his heart, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked back violently, but he saw three huge tornadoes that had formed at some point.

The tornado dragged the rain of blood towards its interior, forming three terrifying waterspouts in the blink of an eye.

Each of the three huge waterspouts contained terrifying destructive powers, and Xue Ning knew in his heart that one of himself and the others would be counted as one, and once they were pulled into the waterspout, their bodies would be torn to pieces in an instant.

Even powerful abilities can only be crushed like ants in the face of this great power of heaven and earth.

Desperate. The three waterspouts were already approaching a rather dangerous distance from the advance team. Xue Ning could already gradually feel the pulling force exerted by the waterspout on himself and the others.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, although the appearance of the waterspout put Xue Ning and others into a life-and-death crisis, it also indirectly helped the advance team eliminate the visual interference of blood rain.

When the scene in front of them was instantly clear, everyone was surprised to find that the mountains and dense forests that were originally very far away from themselves and others were actually less than 100 meters away from them and others.

It can really be said that death is a life.

In the memory of the giant fat man and others, it is clearly recorded that there is often a blood-colored barren land in the area where the space stone gate appears, this place is weird, if you want to travel normally, I am afraid that you will never be able to go to the end of the other side, the only way to pass through the blood-colored barren land is to wait for the blood rain to come, when the cracked earth turns into a muddy swamp, the blood-colored dried corpses will wake up from this land, they are the undead who once died here, with the help of the blood rain to obtain a short resurrection, they will try to stop all the living people who try to cross the blood-colored swamp.

There are endless numbers of blood-colored dried corpses, and no one knows how many blood-colored dried corpses are buried beneath this barren land. It's rare for anyone to try to provoke the blood-colored corpses here, because that would be a disaster in the end.

The way to traverse the blood-colored mire is actually very simple, and that is to wait for the blood rain to fall in the barren land, and try not to wake up too many blood-colored corpses when the blood rain falls. And when the blood rain goes from small to large, and finally the waterspout appears, the power that imprisons the land will disappear, and this is the only chance to get out of here.

If you slow down, you will either be torn apart by a waterspout, or you will be left forever by the fully awakened group of blood-colored dried corpses.

"It's now! Walk! ”

Xue Ning burst out and rushed into the group of corpses in front of him.
