Chapter 44: The Mist

The route we took into the mountain was different from that of the old man on the left, he was on the left and we were on the right, and after entering the woods, the route we walked became more and more deviated, giving me the feeling that we were walking down the mountain.

Most of the time, we went downhill.

The more I walked in the woods, the weaker I found my sense of grasping the space, because the scenery in the woods was so similar that sometimes I couldn't tell the difference at all, and I felt like I was spinning in place.

Not only that, but the dark, damp conditions in the woods were also a bit of a headache.

After walking for less than half an hour, the clothes on my body were soaked, and the sweat only accounted for a small part, and more of the moisture that permeated the woods.

"Sixth Master, you won't be lost, will you?" Bai Banxian asked a little worriedly, "Why do I feel that we are spinning in the woods?" ”

"Bullshit, we've been moving forward, it's just that you haven't found it......." The sixth master walked in the front, and said without looking back: "This undeveloped wild area of Shennongjia is too vast and too dangerous, for ordinary people, even if it is a gentleman like you, you may not be able to find a way out when you enter the mountain." ”

"Are you kidding?" Bai Banxian smiled and asked, "Wouldn't it be enough to get a compass?" ”

"Don't you have a compass with you?" The sixth master smiled: "You take it out and take a look?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Banxian didn't think much about it, took out a small compass from his pocket, and carefully looked at the pointer in the Tianchi.

At this glance, he was instantly dumbfounded.

I was also curious, so I leaned over to Bai Banxian and glanced at it.

The hands in the heavenly pool are spinning unhurriedly, and they are rotating in circles, as if they will never stop, and they have always maintained the same speed.......

"Something is wrong with the magnetic field, right?" I asked curiously.

"I can't say." Bai Banxian also frowned: "If the magnetic field is not right, then the direction of the Yin and Yang two airflows here will also change, and it will be a little difficult to find the qi to go out." ”

"Don't think about it, it's impossible to get out." The sixth master smiled, suddenly stopped, and looked left and right.

Seeing his reaction, I chuckled in my heart, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous, saying that there could be an enemy coming??

But no matter how you look at the sixth master's reaction, it doesn't look like there is an enemy....... Neither the excitement of spotting your prey....... Nor is it the kind of seriousness that is taken against the enemy........

Looking at him closely, I saw that he seemed to be looking for something.

"I remember it was nearby....... Where have you gone......." The sixth master muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had found something, and he strode towards the bushes on the right.

Bai Banxian and I didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly followed the sixth master.

"Look! This is the body I found last time! The sixth master said, picking up the bushes, only to see a completely white and ossified corpse lying inside.

When he died, he was still wearing a robe, holding a round wooden product in his hand, which looked like a compass, but the decay was so severe that the words engraved on it could no longer be seen clearly.

"The master said, the cause of death of this person is getting lost, it's okay to take the road surnamed Zuo just now, but the forest here has been disturbed by the qi of the ancient ruins, not to mention ordinary people, even if you are a master in this industry, you may not be able to get out easily." The sixth master smiled: "If I run away now, you two will have to be trapped in the forest." ”

I have to say that the sixth master is very playful, at least when he says this sentence, I don't think he is joking, he really wants to try it.

That eager look...... It really gives me a headache.......

"Sixth Master, can we stop joking at this juncture?" I said helplessly: "If you really run away, what should I do with Brother Bai?" If we both starve to death in the woods, will you have a good conscience? ”

As soon as he heard what I said, the sixth master seemed quite serious, thought for a while, nodded and said that he really didn't want to go.

At this moment, I faintly heard a gust of wind.

The whirring sound was heavier than the wind I had ever heard, but it was more ethereal.

I really don't know how to describe that kind of sound, it was as real as thunder, just as powerful as it could shake people's hearts, but it also had a different feeling of the opposite.

"Here we are." The sixth master said in a low voice.

"Who's coming??" Bai Ban asked idly, his expression a little nervous: "Is there an enemy coming??" How come I don't feel their anger?? ”

"It's an enemy, but it's not a human either." The sixth master smiled.

Bai Banxian saw that the sixth master's expression was so relaxed, and he seemed to have a little confidence, looked left and right, and asked curiously: "There are other enemies here besides the old sect?" ”

"Yes......." The sixth master said, took out three black scarves from his pocket, took out three medical masks, folded them, and put them in the masks.

In the next second, the sixth master handed out the masks to us, and he also put one on, his eyes narrowed, and he kept looking straight ahead.

Before putting on the mask, I took a special look at the folded black square scarf, which had a lot of dense green handwriting, or totems, hieroglyphic things.

Looking like this, it looks like ink, not like that kind of embroidery.

When I put on the mask and took a few breaths gently, I found that there was a very faint smell of Chinese herbs in the mask, which was not strong and not so disgusting.

"Sixth Master, what are you doing here?" After Bai Banxian put on the mask, his voice became muffled, and he couldn't help but lift the mask up with his hand: "Why does it smell like medicine?" ”

"Anti-virus." The sixth master smiled: "Soon you will understand......"

As soon as the words fell, the sixth master suddenly turned his head and asked me, do you bring a rope?

"Rope?" I was stunned: "You didn't say you wanted to prepare this thing....... Rope walking? ”

I remember that when I bought this duffel bag, the owner of the store also gave me a climbing rope, which is not a valuable thing, it is estimated to be three or four meters long, which is not of great use.

Usually I put it at the bottom of the duffel bag, I haven't used it at all, I can't remember this thing, if it weren't for the sixth master to mention this stubble, I would have to forget it.

"Any rope is fine, woolen rope is fine, hurry up and give it to me!" The sixth master urged.

Hearing this, I didn't dare to ask more, so I hurriedly took out the climbing rope from my luggage bag and handed it directly to the sixth master.

"I'll lead the way, and you yourselves will tie a knot with a rope around your wrists."

As he spoke, the sixth master took the mountaineering rope and wrapped it around his waist twice, and then tied a dead knot firmly, the kind that is difficult to untie when he looks at it.

Bai Banxian and I didn't think much about it, and according to the instructions of the sixth master, we all took the mountaineering rope and wrapped it around our wrists a few times and tied it in a knot.

At this time, I noticed that there were some changes in the woods as well.

It seems to be ...... It's foggy.

At first it was a light mist, and it rose from the ground, as if the earth was smoking, but soon a thick mist like milk spread in droves from the trees ahead.

It's no exaggeration to say that it scared me when I watched it.

The fog wasn't fog anymore, it looked like a living monster, constantly devouring everything in front of them.

"These fogs are all toxic...... We can see them...... It has already been explained that this place is not far from the Trapped Tianshan Mountain......." The sixth master said without looking back, his tone was very serious, and he was also telling us: "Don't take off the mask, it's something that saves your life, especially Xiaobai, if you don't want to die, wear it well, don't fool around!" ”

Hearing this, Bai Banxian put down his hand with some fear, not daring to play with the mask again.

"Follow me, hold on to the rope, get lost in this poisonous fog and you'll be in trouble......."

When the sixth master said this, those fogs had spread unhurriedly, directly enveloping us inside, and it seemed that it was still spreading behind us........

These fogs were different from the fogs I had been exposed to before, and they gave me a strong sense of substance.

Being wrapped in their flesh is like falling into a cold pool, and it is uncomfortable from head to toe.

"Follow me!"
