Chapter 307: Fog Ghost
“…… I've only heard others mention the dangers in the fog. Govia thought for a moment and then spoke: "In the area of the Gray Mist, there are three threats that we need to pay attention to the most, the Lost, the Fog Ghost, and the Fog Mirage. ”
"The Lost are those who have explored the Misty Regions before but have not been able to get out.
When encountering the Lost, you must remember two things, do not talk to them, do not come into contact with them, treat them as air, otherwise once you are targeted by the Lost, it will haunt you until death. ”
She said slowly.
"The Fog Ghosts are monsters born of the Mist itself, and they are even more terrifying than the Lost.
It can be said that more than eighty percent of the lost people are caused by them.
The fog ghost can control the fog, unable to resist, is the most terrifying existence in the fog, if we encounter the fog ghost, we will definitely die. But the good news is that the number of fog ghosts is very rare, and the signs are obvious.
As long as you are vigilant at all times, you have a high degree of certainty that you will be able to avoid it. ”
"Oh......"
Cheng Shen noted the characteristics of these two monsters, but saw that Govia had no intention of continuing.
I can't help but ask, "What about the third threat?" ”
Govia shook his head and said, "I've never heard of any records of the Fog Mirage, indicating that the people you come into contact with are either dead or permanently gone, and you'd better pray that we don't meet them." ”
There was a pause.
She looked at Cheng Shen and continued: "Of course, there are more than these three threats in the fog, this is a hell that eats people and does not spit out bones, I am ready to die, don't drag your feet at a critical time." ”
Cheng Shen ignored her questioning, he bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and stuffed it into his arms.
"Let's go."
After speaking, Cheng Shen walked towards the junction between the town and the fog.
Govia also repeated his move.
And then immediately followed.
Call......
The gray mist seemed to be mixed with countless floating particles, and when it brushed on the skin, it brought a slight friction sensation, and Cheng Shen suddenly felt that there were more debris in his mouth and nose, which did not affect his breathing, but was extremely uncomfortable.
He frowned and looked behind him, only a meter away from the town, and the fog had already engulfed the road.
The town is gone.
The clump of dirt in his arms began to emit an icy aura, a bitter chill that reminded him of the distance between him and Nightmare Town.
Call......
There was a wriggling in the mist, and Govia's figure squeezed out of thin air in front of him, her slender fingers clutching a sharp knife, her long black hair scattered behind her head, and her long plain dress was like a soul seeking her life.
She wrinkled her nose and was clearly not used to the foggy environment, but neither of them cared about the effects.
Maybe staying in this environment for a long time will cause irreversible damage to the respiratory system, which is extremely harmful, but Cheng Shen and Govia were prepared to explore only a few hours from the beginning, so naturally there is no need to worry.
"The human face flower grows at least a kilometer away from the town, where it is close to the white fog area, this is my most solemn warning, no matter what, do not touch the white fog and try to enter the white fog area!"
"Okay."
Cheng Shen happily agreed.
Although he dared to take risks, he also had to be self-aware, and he couldn't even deal with the dangers in the gray fog area, let alone the white fog area that was even more terrifying than the gray fog.
And at this time, he must not let Govia worry.
In the fog, the relationship between the two people has changed from a competitor in the game of life and death to a partner who must trust each other.
The two began to move forward.
Since Govia said that the human face flower is at least a kilometer away, there is no need to waste time near the town, and this relatively safe area has been raided countless times by others, and there is no value to explore.
As the distance between him and the town gradually narrowed, the cold aura of the mud in Cheng Shen's arms began to weaken.
A few hundred meters later.
The chill had become quite faint.
There was only a wisp of cold touch left, reminding him not to forget the direction of home.
"Wait."
Govia suddenly stopped him, and then walked to the side, Cheng Shen followed her purpose, it was a clump of emerald green, purple grass on the top, Cheng Shen, who was familiar with the ecology of the Dark Forest, recognized it at a glance.
"Silver snake grass, poisonous."
He reminded.
Govia looked back at him like a fool, stretched out his hand to uproot a piece of silver snake grass, and then eagerly stuffed it into his mouth with the dirt, and chewed it greedily.
She divided half and handed it to Cheng Shen.
"Starve to death or poison to death, the choice is yours."
“……”
Cheng Shen was speechless.
He admits that Govia is right, that in a town where food resources are scarce, anything that can be eaten is precious. In this case, even if you eat something highly poisonous, it is more comfortable than starving to death.
Hunger.
Perhaps not the most painful way to die.
But it is definitely the most torturous, tormenting, and unbearable choice.
Cheng Shen had spent a day in the nightmare, and he still hadn't dripped, and through Govia's reminder, the senses that he had ignored were suddenly awakened, and a strong sourness appeared in his stomach.
He didn't take the silver snake grass handed by Govia, but stepped forward without saying a word, took out the sharp knife, and began to dig towards the roots of the silver snake grass.
"Snort."
Govia couldn't help but smile mockingly when he saw his movements.
"The rhizomes of the silver snake grass are even more inedible, how can you think that you have more survival experience than mine?"
She said politely.
Cheng Shen glanced back at her expressionlessly and said, "Survival experience is not accumulated by living for a long time, but also by using your brain to learn." ”
Crash!
He swung the Nightmare Blade and slashed through the clump of the Silver Serpent's tangled roots.
The structure of this poisonous herb is so deceptive that on the surface it is the leaves, and even if one tries to dig further, they almost give up when they see the rhizomes.
Yet actually.
The part of it that is really valuable is hidden even deeper.
If Cheng Shen hadn't gone through pharmacology, he would have personally tasted this poisonous herb and mastered its medicinal effects and growth habits.
It is also impossible to understand the hidden properties of this particular plant.
Digging all the way down, the rhizomes of the silver snake grass were barely visible in the damp soil, only one or two inconspicuous slender veins, which extended downwards and were easy to ignore.
Cheng Shen withdrew the sharp knife and began to dig with both hands.
Soon.
He touched a cold object.
He brushed off the soil on it with his hand, and pieces of silver lines like snake scales were revealed, and Cheng Shen took out this rhizome buried nearly half a meter deep underground, its sinuous curve was like a silver snake.
This is where the name Silver Snake comes from.
Many people call it a poisonous snake only because it is poisonous.
In fact, it is far from the truth.
"You ......"
Govia, who was waiting to see the joke, had an incredulous face, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Cheng Shen seriously and vigilantly, as if she suspected his identity, otherwise how could he know more about this place than herself!
Gaba.
Cheng Shen broke the one-foot-long silver rhizome in his hand, and milky white juice immediately flowed out of the fracture.
He sucked a piece into his mouth, and the bitter taste immediately filled his mouth, causing his expression to distort slightly.
But after the bitterness, a sweet taste emerged, and the juice that flowed down his throat and into his stomach made him feel a burst of warmth in his body.
"Don't eat its roots, the juice is completely non-toxic and nourishes the body."
Cheng Shen reminded Govia.
The latter's face was somewhat unbearable, but after surviving in the nightmare for so long, Govia realized that the most transparent thing was that such things as dignity and integrity were worthless here.
She immediately took another rhizome of the silver snake grass and sucked it hard.
Cheng Shen put away the rhizome in his hand that had no juice flowing out, this was a real poisonous thing, and it could be used to refine the poison he needed when he returned.
"Hoo ......"
After drinking the juice, Govia noticed the nourishing effect more clearly than Cheng Shen, her eyes couldn't help but shine, and when she continued to walk on the road, it didn't take long for her to find another silver snake grass, and immediately rushed to dig it.
"I made a lot of money this time! Silver snake grass is the last food we usually want to use to satisfy hunger, its toxicity will make people feel painful, some people will choose no one to eat it, there must be a lot of this area! ”
Govia was as happy as a child getting candy.
Cheng Shen didn't care at first, anyway, the silver snake grass she worked hard to dig was half of him.
But after watching her gradually deviate from the right track, she couldn't help but remind her.
"That's not what we're aiming for, don't waste time."
"Got it, got it~"
Govia waved her hand absently, it seemed that she didn't take Cheng Shen's words to heart at all.
But it's understandable.
A big reason why she would agree to cooperate with Cheng Shen is that there is a lack of food, after all, she already knows who the hidden ghost is, as long as she survives until the last day, she will basically be able to enter the next reincarnation.
From the point of view of Govia.
In fact, she had no reason to cooperate with Cheng Shen to explore the fog.
At this time, before she encountered danger, she had already found a solution to the predicament she was facing.
The courage she had so hard to bring up had undoubtedly dissipated most of it.
Fortunately, she at least knew how to be measured, and finally stopped after digging seven or eight silver snake grasses in a row, and then smiled at Cheng Shen: "Don't worry, I will also assist you in picking human face flowers, and I won't abandon you here." ”
How could Cheng Shen not know what she was thinking about.
But she's also frank.
He immediately said, "If you had told me from the beginning that you knew a lot about this place, there would have been no friction between us... As long as you can keep providing me with valuable information, our cooperation will never break! ”
"I hope so."
Cheng Shen said expressionlessly.
The last thing he wanted to know through Govia was to find out who the hidden ghost was. However, this is the most important chip in Govia's hand, and she certainly won't say it easily.
"Shh......h
Govia's expression changed suddenly, and he put his finger in front of his mouth and listened attentively.
Cheng Shen also felt a clear warning from intuition at this time.
The two closed their mouths in tacit agreement, holding their breath and staring at the fog outside their field of vision.
See it soon enough.
One figure after another lined up and slowly walked out of the fog.
They were dressed in rotten and old clothes, and each of them put his hand on the shoulders of the former, as if they were playing a childish game of eagle catching chickens, and they all kept their heads down, and they moved without the slightest sound.
"Lost ...... Lose...... ......"
Govia lip-smacked nervously, but her nervousness didn't come from herself, as a nightmare resident who had participated in the devil's game seven times, it wasn't the first time she had seen such a monster in the mist.
She was only afraid that Cheng Shen would have a problem at this time.
And then it affected her.
Glancing back, Cheng Shen's performance was much calmer than she expected, and he couldn't even see panic on his face, in order to avoid accidents, he deliberately looked away and looked in another direction...
Wait a minute!
Govia suddenly turned his head to look at the position that Cheng Shen was staring at.
Before she could react, a big hand suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her backwards with great force!
"Don't struggle!"
Cheng Shen's whisper sounded.
Govia stiffly stopped his desire to fight back, and then, he felt that his body was light, and the whole person was completely carried by Cheng Shen on his shoulders!
Such an offensive act did not make her angry.
Govia remembered the figure that appeared at a glance.
A word that made her lips tremble subconsciously slowly spat out.
"Fog ghosts!"
How is it so unlucky!
"Hold on to me!"
Cheng Shen buried his head and reminded briefly.
With his physical fitness, carrying Govia is like playing, and her long-malnourished body does not weigh a sandbag.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that she had important information she wanted to know, Cheng Shen would still choose to run away, and would never risk her life to care about this passer-by who could only be regarded as a meeting with her.
"Woo~!
”
An eerie whimper came from behind.
Although Cheng Shen reacted and fled as quickly as possible, he still couldn't get rid of the fog ghost that suddenly appeared at the first time, and the surrounding fog suddenly surged, and a thick white appeared in the gray world.
"How could the fog ghost suddenly appear!"
Govia hugged Cheng Shen's neck desperately, and his tone was full of collapse.
Cheng Shen didn't have time to pay attention to her, he pulled out his hands, he quickly took out a paper bag from his arms, and opened it in three or two clicks, a strong smell suddenly wafted away, and Cheng Shen threw the ointment to the farthest place with a handful of force!
"Ahh
! ”
Govia behind him suddenly let out a terrifying scream, and Cheng Shen was also cold.
The sense of crisis of death instantly enveloped the whole body.
He hurriedly turned around and saw that a white bone arm extending out of the fog had touched Govia behind him, but the next moment he threw out the ointment, the white bone arm changed its trajectory.
Da Da ......
There was also the sound of dense footsteps in the fog.
Cheng Shen didn't dare to stay, didn't care about anything else, held Govia's legs and continued to run wildly for a long time before stopping.
"Whew...... Whoop......"
He crouched behind a protruding bone-white boulder, listening to the movement around him.
He was relieved to find that the lost and fog ghosts hadn't caught up.
