Chapter 526: Fog [Second Update]
"Martin, are you okay with your wound?" Luna asked worriedly as she walked over to Martin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Martin shook his head slightly, "It's been treated, the wound is not infected, don't worry." ”
"That's good." Luna glanced at his bandaged wound and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ian waited for everyone to adjust, and then said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he took the lead and opened the way ahead.
Martin and Rosemary, among others, followed.
Dudian glanced at Eugene, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, he was already ready to find an opportunity to get rid of this person in the next battle, and by the way, torture the main messenger behind the scenes who sent him here.
The mountain is hazy and humid, with a faint smell of decay and a peculiar smell.
Ian took the lead in the direction of the thick fog, his scar ability can control body temperature, as well as sense temperature differences in the air around him, it can be described as a sophisticated human thermometer, of course, this is only one of his abilities, suitable for camouflage.
"It's kind of weird." After climbing more than 200 meters, Martin suddenly spoke.
Ian paused and looked back at him, "What?" ”
Martin looked at the deep grass and leaves around him, and said in a low voice: "Don't you notice, the density of this fog is a little too high, it's still the dark snow season, the temperature is so low, and there is no sun today, there shouldn't be such a fog, there are too many dewdrops on it." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they noticed that the deep grass around them was covered with dewdrops, as if it had been washed by heavy rain, but when they came here yesterday, they did not see any signs of rain, and the road was not wet.
Ian frowned, silent, years of hunting experience told him that there must be demons when things go wrong, but the mission target is nearby, and he can't be deterred because of this, after all, the guards who have a greater chance of being around the wind listener have been killed by them, and now if he returns halfway, if the wind listener senses the danger and leaves this place, it will be even more difficult to find it again, and the time spent and the distance to find it will be an adventure.
He pondered for a moment, made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, if you encounter an abnormal situation, be ready to evacuate at any time." ”
Everyone nodded, and their hearts became more vigilant.
Dudian followed behind the team, and he didn't dare to relax in his heart, after all, this is a wasteland, and the pioneers will be in danger, even if he has life-saving wings, he can't guarantee that he will not be killed by the powerful monsters that infest him before he can react.
"I smell it." After walking another hundred meters, Luna suddenly said, she sniffed the tip of her nose lightly, raised her finger to a densely wooded high slope in front of her, and said, "The smell of the wind listener is right in front of that." ”
Ian looked back at her, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" Luna nodded seriously, "The monster atlas records the smell of the Wind Listener, which is very similar to what I smell now, it should be the Wind Listener!" ”
Ian nodded, feeling a little relieved, but he didn't expect that his luck this time was not bad, and he found the mission target as soon as he arrived in the deserted area. However, what followed was a dangerous hard battle, and his expression became a little solemn, and he said to everyone: "Get ready to fight, Ruby, and put the food here first, so as not to be unable to move later." ”
Ruby nodded, put down the huge burden on his back, and stuffed it into the gap between two large trees nearby.
"Let's go!" Ian led the way.
The crowd quickly followed.
Soon, everyone walked out of the woods, only to see a flat land in front of them, and in front of the flat ground was a huge strange rock, steep and high, and concave inward, and at the intersection of the depression there was a dark cave, and even Dudian, a person with an ordinary sense of smell, could smell a foul smell wafting from this cave, mixed with the smell of damp earth in the swamp, and another indescribable strange smell, which was creepy and disgusting.
Seeing this cave, Ian looked at it and said in a low voice: "This is it, prepare torches!" ”
Ruby immediately took out a few torches from his backpack, poured oil on them and lit them, and handed them to Ian and Martin, the rest of himself one, and Eugene with one, as for Dudian and Rosemary, Luna had told them in their previous interoperability that they had night vision, so they didn't need torches.
Ian, who also has night vision, picks up a torch and throws it into the cavern.
Sou!
The firelight rolled in the air, whirring like a wheel, falling straight into the cave, the firelight was imprinted on the edge of the cave, and suddenly I saw an extremely disgusting scene, the wall of the cave was not thick rock and soil, but a black material like a cuticle, crawling all over the cave, a bit like dry and hard feces, a bit like a hard shell after molting, more like the rotten flesh of some animals.
A strong foul smell emanated from the black material that had been glued to the cave walls, and the firelight flew into the cave and quickly disappeared.
But everyone looked at the cave vigilantly, opened their ranks, and prepared for battle.
Little by little, time is ticking.
Ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement in the cave.
Ian frowned, could it be that the depth of the cave was too long, so it didn't alarm the wind listeners inside?
He glanced at the ground around him, picked up a rock a little closer, and threw it into it again, and with a thud, the stone hit the rock wall with a muffled sound.
Ian took two steps back and returned to the group, staring warily at the cave.
After another four or five minutes of waiting, there was still no response in the cave.
Seeing such a strange situation, Ian couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Martin and Rosemary, Luna and the others are also looking at each other, if they venture into the cave, the natural danger will be greatly increased, after all, it is the lair of the wind listener, the latter is naturally more familiar, and the environment inside is small, which is not conducive to their team fighting, and in the open space outside the cave, it is just enough to exert all the strength of the team.
It's just that after causing such a big movement, the people listening to the wind inside still didn't react?
Unless it's not in the nest.
Everyone almost unanimously thought of this possibility, Ian's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "It may not be in the cave, it is going to follow me in the ambush, be careful, in case it hides in the dark of the cave and prepares to ambush us." ”
Although the possibility of the latter is small, and the IQ of the listener will not be so, there will always be a slight possibility, so it is natural to be on guard.
The group nodded and followed him slowly towards the cave.
As she got closer, Luna covered her nose tightly, her keen sense of smell turning her face green at this moment, and she felt like she was about to suffocate.
Du Dian stared around, and didn't see any heat reaction inside, but the Wind Listener was a cold-blooded monster, and it was natural that his thermal vision would be difficult to detect.
Suddenly, he saw two silver scales on the side of a raised stone on the ground four or five meters inside the entrance of the cave, and the scales were stained with a viscous and filamentous liquid, exuding a fishy smell.
He was slightly stunned, there were no such scales on the Wind Listener, could it be that there were other monsters in this cave?
