The white mist filled the forest of mist, and the misty mist brought a mysterious mask to the dense forest, and when you looked inside outside the forest of mist, the place you saw was completely white mist, and you could not see the scenery or light. No one knows what it was like in the dense forest during the foggy time period, and all people could see was white fog, white fog, and white fog.
There was no quiet in the mist, the rustle of fallen leaves being trampled, the grinding of small monsters as they weaved through the woodland, the low, rhythmic wheezing of large monsters, the last moans and moans of prey before death, the flapping wings of birds on the branches, and the whispers that seemed to be far and near.
From a distance, the Forest of Fog was divided into two halves by the white mist, bounded by a height of ten meters. Ten meters above is a dark canopy dome after the ground light source is isolated, and ten meters below is a hazy dream made of white mist. The breeze blew gently, blowing the fallen dead leaves, but it couldn't blow the persistent mist, which was still firmly entrenched in the white mist forest, as if guarding this side of the woodland.
In the forest outside the forest of mist, an unknown little beast came out of the withered yellow bushes, staring at the misty dense forest with unblinking eyes, the charming fruit fragrance in the air continued to stimulate the hungry stomach of the little beast, and the strong appetite gradually destroyed its simple and fragile reason, so that the little beast carefully crawled out of the hiding place, little by little towards the forest of mist, little by little close to the paradise full of food in its fantasy. As it got closer, the beast's footsteps slowed down, and finally stopped at the edge of the mist, the balance in its heart swaying between safety and food. Suddenly, the little beast seemed to feel some danger, the hair all over its body exploded, and it turned around and fled to the hiding place as fast as possible, but just a few steps away, a black shadow suddenly came out of the fallen leaf layer on the ground, bit the little beast like lightning, and disappeared into the leaf layer again. The leaves rustled, and the forest returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened.
"What is that? Do you see clearly?" Not far away, ten pairs of eyes stared at the Forest of Mist, witnessing what had just happened. Lina rubbed her eyes and asked in surprise, "I didn't see it at all, the movement was too fast." ”
"I could only see the movements. Catherine, as a physical attack professional, has stronger dynamic vision than Lina, but she also took a deep breath a little nervously: "As for what kind of animal it is, I don't see it at all." ”
"It's a snake. The night owl, whose main task among the mercenaries is reconnaissance and vigilance, said with a little speculation: "I don't see the specific image, but it looks very similar." ”
"It's not a snake, it's not scaled. Pannis said with some tears and laughter: "It looks ...... I guess it's an eel. Hell yes, when will eels be able to land again?"
"Eel?" Lina exclaimed, the book in her hand clattering, "I'll look for it, I'll look for it." ”
"Good eyesight. Erard gave Pannis a thumbs up and said, "This is the forest eel, one of the endemic creatures of the Sea of Death Mist, which can only live within the confines of the Sea of Death Mist. Because the fog is so humid that it allows them to breathe, they can move freely in the fog like their close cousin, the aquatic eel. The fallen leaves in the forest are like water to them, and they swim and hunt in the leaf layer every day, which is very aggressive. ”
"It turned out to be a forest eel. Vivian, who was squatting beside Catherine, thought for a while, and suddenly smashed a fist into her palm: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, you can also use this, catalyze the activity of purple mountain flowers, and at the same time can inhibit the assimilation of lava grass, and can also alleviate the irritation of lava grass to the human body, but you also need to add white grass to neutralize its alkalinity." Oh, if you add white grass, it will conflict with duckbills, no, you have to change it, hey, what are you all looking at me? Also, what are the expressions on your faces? ”
"Nothing, look at you cute. Pannis shrugged, retracting the feeble expression on his face.
"By the way, Pennis, if you have time, help me catch ten forest eels, not whole ones, just remove the gallbladder. Vivien tugged at the corner of Rapanis's coat, "Remember the research I said in the cave, it might be useful." However, the use of the gallbladder of the eel is too little, so it is difficult to buy it in the material market, so let's use local materials. ”
"You've already started?" Pennis looked at Vivien in surprise, "So fast?"
"Of course, otherwise do you think I'm staying up late at home every day?" Vivien expressed deep disdain at Pannis's fuss, "Do you think I'm going to have a celebration before I start?"
"I said, how long are you going to talk? Dora stuck her head behind Pannis, rolled her eyes, and said, "Why don't we set aside a day for you to chat?"
"What's the hurry, anyway, wait for the fog to clear. Pannis turned his head, just rubbed Dora's long hair, subconsciously took a deep breath like intoxication, and then immediately felt a few sharp arrow-like gazes, couldn't help shrinking his neck, jumped to the side quickly, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "Don't think about me, you black silk long-legged pervert." ”
"Idiot man. Dora sighed softly and asked Elard, "Is the fog really going to clear soon?" ”
"Soon. Elad replied lightly: "Every morning at six o'clock, the fog will dissipate on time, and at twelve o'clock, that is, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the fog will reappear, and we have six hours to pass through the fog forest, just the right time." ”
"Is it safe on the road?" asked Catherine, "will there be any danger?"
"It's not safe at all. Elad replied, "There are many magical beasts inhabiting it, and although most of them will go to sleep as the fog dissipates, there are some exceptions. The hunter frog, the fog mantis, and the shadow beast are the most likely exceptions, because everyone is sprinkled with deodorant powder, which can eliminate our own taste, so most of the monsters that rely on smell to hunt can be ignored, but these three types of monsters are perceived in different ways, the hunter frog relies on hearing, the fog mantis relies on sensing air flow, and the shadow beast relies on sensing temperature changes, so be careful of the three of them. ”
"What if you encounter them?" asked Catherine, "how strong are they?"
"It's very powerful, the Hunter Frog is a silver-level social demonic beast, and the fog mantis and shadow beast are both gold-level demonic beasts. Elad said: "But it's easy to deal with, when you encounter hunter frogs, just stay still and wait for them to pass, don't move, they can hear the slightest movement, and when you encounter a shadow beast, cover yourself with fallen leaves for the first time, and the fallen leaves can block the temperature perception of the shadow beast." As for the Mist Mantis, the most terrifying enemy, it must hold its breath on the basis of remaining still, otherwise it will definitely be discovered. If you are discovered, although you are all strong, once you are dragged by these magical beasts, it is very likely that you will not be able to pass through the Forest of Fog in time. ”
"What happens if you can't wear it?" Catherine asked, "Always prepare for the worst." ”
"I don't know. Elad simply spread his hands: "Most of the people who can't wear it are dead." However, according to some lucky survivors, after the fog appears, the first thing is to get lost, and it is impossible to see the way clearly, and then all the monsters in the fog forest will wake up and start foraging, which is as dangerous as throwing a blind man in a group of monsters. Moreover, it is only said that after the fog appears, there will be some strange and invisible creatures roaming around, and no one knows what the specific creatures are, and it is not known whether there are such creatures or not. ”
"Okay, I see. Catherine sighed: "That is, no matter what happens, you must go through it in time." ”
That's what it means. Elad nodded: "If you can't get through, just fight hard, and try to move in a straight line while fighting." ”
"Will you survive this?" asked Lina, leaning over.
"No, it's just that you can die a little later. Elad shrugged: "There's another way, climb the tree and hide all day, out of the fog." But this will encounter another problem, there will always be a large number of magical beasts, birds, monkeys, and some other inexplicable things entrenched in the trees, their number is exaggerated, so it is difficult to climb up and stay on it for a long time. However, the survival rate of climbing up is slightly higher, and all the people who didn't make it through the fog forest but survived in the end are the lucky ones who climbed the tree and were lucky enough not to be discovered by the monsters on the tree. Well, you see, the fog has lifted. ”
I don't know when it began, all kinds of strange sounds in the Fog Forest disappeared, and the dense fog dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually revealing the original appearance of the inside of the Fog Forest. After the mysterious forest of fog unveiled the mask of the dense fog, it was not much different from the surrounding environment, except that the air appeared to be exceptionally humid, and the fallen leaves on the ground were covered with water droplets.
"Ready, everybody, now, close your eyes. Pannis waved behind him: "It's time to turn off the lights." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the surroundings changed suddenly, and all the glittering vines stopped emitting light, and the dense forest fell into darkness again. In the early morning of late autumn, the sun rises late, the sky is still dark, the light of the morning light through the dense canopy of the heavy barrier, can reach the interior of the forest of fog can be described as thin, the brightness in the dense forest is almost not much different from the evening, fortunately, except for the hunter guide Erad with excellent eyesight, the others are high-level professionals, physical fitness far exceeds normal people, with the faint vision brought by physical fitness, in the dim dense forest can also vaguely see everything around.
"Can't be illuminated. "In such an environment, if you turn on the lights, you can see things nearby, but you can't see anything at a little distance, but now you can see farther away," Pannis explains. ”
"Just stick to it for an hour. Elad began to walk towards the Forest of Mist, "That's why I hate it to enter here in the fall, and it takes an hour between day and night, it's too dangerous. ”
"Let's go. Pannis waved to everyone: "Pass as soon as possible, try not to stay." ”
