Chapter 32: The White Mist
Placing the man-eating flowers on a wooden cart, the old ghost organizes the people to start cutting wood.
The trees they cut down are not transported whole, but are divided into sections and then pulled back to the base by carts.
Yao Yao saw that they were using the kind of strange saw that Dumb had used, and they could quickly put down a thick piece of ironwood, and asked Zhang Wen: "Is there metal in this world, is that saw made of metal?" It looks sharp." ”
"No, that's the teeth of a demonized snail. Zhang Wen has always been very patient with Yao Yao, explaining to her: "Even if the teeth of this snail leave the body, they will have a certain amount of magic, and if you inlay them on the tool, as long as you put a little pressure, you can bite off hard things." ”
"Biting off?"
Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Yes, bite off, in fact, these saws are not sawing trees, but biting off." ”
Yao Yao sighed: "This world is really wonderful, and the longer I stay, the more I feel that it has a lot of secrets waiting to be discovered." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly said: "You look so good when you smile, why do you always keep a straight face." ”
The jump in her thinking made Zhang Wen stunned for a moment, and immediately restrained her smile and said, "Did I laugh, no." ”
"If you say no, you won't have it, anyway, it's not me who deceives myself. ”
Zhang Wen choked for a moment and stopped talking.
After a long time, Yao Yao couldn't help but ask: "Hey, I said boss, with your identity, you should have a chance to go back, after all, you are in charge of the portal, why have I never seen you go back to Earth?"
A trace of gloom flashed in Zhang Wen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I am your guide, how can I leave?"
"Cut, it's so great, I don't believe it. ”
Zhang Wen was choked again, and it took a long time before he whispered: "If I say I can't go back, do you believe it?"
"What?" The voice was too small, Yao Yao didn't hear it clearly, and looked at Zhang Wen suspiciously.
Zhang Wen stopped talking, took out a wooden box from his arms, opened the box, and there were seven or eight homemade cigarettes inside.
He pulled out one, rubbed the thumb of his left hand slightly, a wisp of fire rose out of thin air, and lit a cigarette on fire, Zhang Wen took a deep breath, a spicy taste drilled into his lungs, turned arrogantly, and then emanated from his nostrils.
Yao Yao smiled: "It turns out that there is also tobacco in the other world, how did you find out?"
Zhang Wen took another puff and said slowly: "This is a local tobacco made of ground and dried red oranges, which is different from those tobaccos on the earth." ”
Yao Yao remembered the fruit that was wrinkled like the skin of an old man, according to Xiao Gong, it had the effect of making people feel excited, and her curiosity was successfully aroused again, and she said with a hippie smile: "Boss, give me one?"
"You can smoke?"
Yao Yao said: "No, but seeing that your smoking posture is too handsome, I want to try it too." ”
"Go, go, join in the fun, you women can't smoke this cigarette!" Zhang Wen refused.
"Why? Yao Yaojiao sneered, seeing that the other party was unmoved, she had to ask, "Then tell me how it tastes, isn't it very sensitive?"
Zhang Wen had no choice but to take her, and said, "Want to hear the truth?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Wen took another puff and spit out a circle of slightly reddish smoke, "To be honest, this smoke is really hard to smoke." He coughed and laughed.
Yao Yao leaned over her delicate little face and stared at Zhang Wen's face carefully, as if to judge whether he was telling a lie.
The little face full of youth and flamboyance was too close, Zhang Wen was a little uncomfortable, leaned back slightly, and said dryly: "What, don't believe it? Although this cigarette is not easy to smoke, it is strong, and it will be addictive if you smoke it habitually." ”
Yao Yao withdrew her face and laughed like a weasel who had succeeded in stealing chickens: "Boss, I found a secret, you are really handsome when you laugh, well, a mature man." ”
Zhang Wen shook his head, there was nothing he could do with her.
At this time, the old ghost ran over and asked with a salivating face, "Boss, can you give the brothers a cigarette to smoke?"
Zhang Wen looked at the old ghost, glanced at the woodcutters behind him with shiny eyes, and threw the entire cigarette case to him: "Let everyone smoke separately, work hard after smoking, don't go crazy." ”
The old ghost happily took the cigarette case and said loudly: "Boss, don't worry, the young men who smoke this cigarette and keep it are a hundred times more energetic, and they will finish half a day's work." ”
After speaking, he returned to the team, Yao Yao watched from a distance, the young men greeted the old ghost like a triumphant general, and the old ghost was not stingy, and distributed all the cigarettes in the box to everyone, and he could only smoke one with Dumb.
She suddenly sighed: "Although I have also been a captain, I am not as good as him." ”
Zhang Wendao: "The old ghost is a good person, bold and bold, and he is very popular in the base." Someone once recommended to me that he succeed Lao Yuan's head of logistics. ”
Yao Yao wanted to ask why you didn't let him take over, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't say it, she remembered that when the commander of Team A was promulgated, she had a feeling that the guide wanted to appoint herself as the captain or vice captain, but because he made an awkward mistake and deliberately competed with him, he finally changed his mind.
People do one thing, there are always such and such reasons, if you don't want to do one thing, there will definitely be a reason, Yao Yao now wants to ask if her feelings are accurate, she doesn't care about the position of a captain, as for what she cares about, she can't say clearly.
She is a simple character, and when she opens her mouth, she asks, "...... you that day"
Before she finished her words, Zhang Wen suddenly pulled her down, and at the same time only heard him shout urgently: "There is an enemy, everyone be careful!"
A burst of white mist rose uncharacteristically from the dark ironwood forest, and the mist spread rapidly, and soon it was so white that it was almost impossible to see five fingers.
Suddenly, the thick white mist around him shook violently as if it had been stirred by a huge spoon, and a rustling sound that made the scalp tingle, like the crawling of a cold-blooded mollusk, sounded.
Zhang Wen raised his head vigilantly and looked around, but he couldn't see anything clearly, but his keen intuition made him sense that a very terrifying threat had come nearby.
"Don't move, I'll go and fetch the old ghosts. He leaned into Yao Yao's ear and whispered.
The ears were a little itchy, and there was a warm feeling that penetrated through the bottom of her heart, Yao Yao blushed and hummed in a low voice.
Zhang Wen crawled forward, groping forward with the direction of the old ghost team in his memory, and the strange thing was that the old ghosts didn't make a sound, and they didn't know what happened to them.
Yao Yao watched Zhang Wen leave, and the sense of security in her heart suddenly disappeared, and then she realized the huge pressure, a creepy feeling made her lie stiffly on the ground, not daring to move, she could only prickly listen to the surrounding movements, and after half a moment, she didn't seem to hear any unusual sound, Yao Yao looked up boldly.
A milky white light paler than the white mist rose in the center of the clearing, this feeling was very strange, Yao Yao knew that it was impossible for him to see anything in such a big fog, but he could clearly feel the white light, "watching" it with the center as a dot, gradually spreading to the surroundings, and then the circle continued to grow, when the milky white light touched things, whether it was weeds or trees, or even soil, it had a strange pale color.
When the white light spread to the point that it was about to touch the grass where Yao Yao was hiding, her heart almost jumped out, and a feeling of impending disaster made her pupils unconsciously dilate.
Seeing that the white light was about to touch her body, a pair of strong and powerful arms hugged her horizontally and quickly retreated. Yao Yao screamed and saw two slender weird tentacles scrambling out of the white mist, the arms holding her changed to one hand to wrap around, and the other hand collided with the two tentacles with lightning and flint.
There was a low voice from behind the guide, and Yao Yao saw that his retracted hand was a little pale, like a phosphorus fire roasting on the meat, and it actually made a terrifying sound.
Before she could worry, she felt the strong body that was close to her strain violently, and then burst out with great force, and quickly retreated backwards, and at the same time, she heard a special syllable from the mouth of the guide, and a fireball appeared in front of her eyes out of thin air, and then was thrown into the white mist in an instant.
Then, another, then another, five fireballs in a row were projected into the white mist, and only then did the first fireball explode.
Zhang Wen hugged Yao Yao and didn't care about the results, after throwing five fireballs and consuming a lot of energy in the system, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and fled quickly.
The monster in the white mist behind him is not an existence that he can compete with at this stage.
