Chapter Twenty-Five: The Shadow of the Mist
That night, six people were crammed into the simple tent, but they didn't feel cold. I slept soundly, and when I woke up, I saw that the cloth bag monk had already sat cross-legged outside to do morning class, Liang Ruoyi and the seventh master were also moving their muscles outside, and the toad didn't know where to go, but I was left with the old clam still sleeping soundly in the tent.
"Smack!"
I slapped the old clam who was still snoring in the face, saw the old clam chirp in the mouth, and then suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me: "Sick?!" What time is it?! ”
I was stunned by his scolding for a moment, and looked at my watch: "That, it's almost seven o'clock in the morning!" ”
Then he reacted, looked at the old clam and scolded back: "You are sick!" ”
The toad seemed to like this kind of place very much, and he didn't know where to run to get a bunch of wild vegetables and cook a pot of fragrant soup. Everyone stayed overnight on the cold mountain at a height of thousands of meters, and when they woke up, they felt a little cold, and each took a spoon and drank it.
"I just looked at it, and we should be going in the right direction along this west." The Seventh Master said: "However, the map is useless, I took a closer look and felt that there were many errors on it, so it was better for us to explore it ourselves." ”
We nodded, discussed, finished our meal, and set off again.
At this point, there was no road under our feet, and as the fog got heavier and heavier, our steps were getting slower and slower. After more than an hour, we were almost climbing up with our hands and feet. As the altitude increased, so did the temperature, and I had to gasp for breath with every step.
By this time, there was already snow under my feet, so I put on gloves and changed into a more cold-proof coat.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the road beneath our feet became gentle, and after ten minutes, the fog became heavier and heavier, and our feet became flat again.
"Whew-" I let out a sigh of relief and stopped: "Let's rest for a while!" ”
I sat on the ground as I spoke, and Liang Ruoyi, who had broken off behind me, also sat on the ground.
After waiting for a few seconds, I didn't see the person in front of me answering, I looked up inadvertently, and saw that the visibility was less than five feet at this time, and there were several dark shadows not far in front of me, vague, and I couldn't tell if it was the seventh master.
"Hey! Seventh Master?! I yelled, but there was no answer.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly stood up and looked, only to see that the vague figures had quickly disappeared into the vast fog......
I was stunned for a moment, looked up at the thick mist, turned my head to Liang Ruoyi and said, "What's the matter?" How did they ......"
Before I could finish speaking, I frowned, and less than three feet away from me, a white figure sat there, motionless. looks like Liang Ruoyi, but if you look closely, through the fog, you always feel that this person is a little weird, and I don't know what's wrong.
"Beauty?" I screamed softly, took a defensive stance, and moved over one step at a time.
There was no movement, the man did not answer me, I frowned, held my breath and continued to walk, almost less than two feet away, through the thin mist, I saw that it was a white flower, carefully reached over my hand, and patted her on the shoulder!
Wow! I was taken aback - because my shot was empty, and the white figure stirred up the fog around me with my beat, and disappeared without a trace after a few breaths!
What's going on?!
I was taken aback by what I saw, and thought to myself, could it be that the spirit I just saw was a geist?! But Liang Ruoyi has been behind me before, but because it is too hard to walk the mountain road, I haven't communicated for a long time, but even so, before I sat on the ground, I still heard Liang Ruoyi's footsteps!
Could it be that the other four people who had been not far in front of me had also disappeared a long time ago?! The vague figure I saw was also illusory?!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get nervous, and I copied the dagger out and held it in my hand. Looking around, I couldn't make out the direction at this time, there was nothing around me except white snow and white mist of flowers, at most I could see some gravel, and it seemed that I had come to another world.
"Damn, what the hell is going on!" I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, found that the signal had long been gone, opened the map positioning, and found that it was useless, there was only one point on the map, and there was a blank space around, the same as nothing!
You can't freeze to death here! I cautiously groped my way to find the place where I had just come up, then spun around and decided to walk ahead according to my consciousness.
After walking like this for about ten minutes, the fog was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility was barely three feet left, and I was basically groping my way forward, like a blind man.
After less than five minutes of walking, I was already a little devastated! This feeling is like being on the suspended stone steps of Jinsu Mountain, there is darkness in all directions, endless darkness, there is no exit at all, and it is completely swallowed by darkness. At this time, I was surrounded by white fog or white snow, and I couldn't make out the direction at all.
"!" I scolded angrily, suddenly, I saw a dark shadow not far ahead, I learned a lesson this time, he didn't move, I didn't move!
I thought to myself, if he is our person, he should be able to see me like me, and he will definitely come to me, although I have no sense of direction now, but there is a feeling under my feet, it is all the way from the place where I came up just now, if I take the initiative to find the black figure, and lose the feeling under my feet, it will be like no roots, it will be even more difficult to continue walking!
And just like that, I stood still and watched the black figure, and I don't know how long it took for the bastard to slowly walk towards me.
I held my breath as he walked towards me.
But I watched him walk for about five or six minutes, and he seemed to be very close to me, because the visibility at this time was less than a zhang, and he was originally vague, at most less than two feet away from me, but after walking for so long, I felt as if he had walked in front of me, but I couldn't see and touch it clearly, and I felt like he was close in front of me, but far away in the sky......
I was really going to collapse, and now I was standing in the fog, watching a black figure dangling in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see what it was, and anyone would go crazy!
"Hey! Who are you?! I couldn't help but clench my dagger and shouted. It's just that when this voice shouted, even I could hear that I was trembling a little, and I didn't know if it was frozen or frightened......
The shadow did not answer, but still walked slowly in my line of sight at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye, sometimes near and sometimes far away, which made me frightened and frightened.
"!" I gritted my teeth and walked over to the shadow.
One, two, three, four...... I walked carefully with each step, mentally calculating every step, and when I reached twenty steps, I was completely insane - no matter how I walked, the black shadow was always a certain distance away from me, and I never seemed to be able to catch up with him, I was fast, he was fast, I was slow, he was slow, if I hadn't moved before, I would have suspected that he was my shadow!
I regained my footing and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, not knowing what to do.
But at this moment, the black shadow suddenly walked towards me, this time it was real, I could feel that he was getting closer and closer to me, and finally broke through the thick fog and revealed his true face!
"Liang Ruoyi?!" I saw that this person was Liang Ruoyi, and I was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly walked up: "Where did you go?" Wasn't it behind me before? I'm going to crash! ”
As soon as the words fell, Liang Ruoyi on the other side did not speak, his eyes were confused and fluttering, as if he was looking for something.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" I asked eagerly.
Liang Ruoyi, who was less than two feet away from me, still didn't answer, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she shook her head lightly and walked straight towards me.
"Y-What are you going to do?!" I was startled by Liang Ruoyi's movements, and subconsciously took a step back, but the ice beauty didn't slow down at all, and walked straight towards me, as if I didn't exist at all......
Then, in my astonished eyes, she passed through me without hindrance!
