Chapter 309: Foggy Mirage
"Hoo ......"
Cheng Shen and Govia held their breath and moved forward slowly.
In the mist, groups of lost people whose limbs were entangled in various strange postures hurried by. This is due to their peculiarity, which is a strange phenomenon that once they come into contact with the target, they will never separate.
They form bloated merges one after another, like scavengers in the mist, devouring all life in their path.
Besides.
The screams of the human face flower also attracted a lot of mess.
Winter!
Winter!
The white urn danced in the mist, smashing with a loud bang every time it landed; The fracture was rotten and black, and it was the size of a giant's palm the size of a round tabletop, and its five fingers were crooked and crawling on the ground;
There are also a pair of transparent wings, shriveled flesh and blood, floating giant fish monsters, cloudy and white eyes flashing with a strange light;
Nightmare horror and weirdness.
At this moment, it was all presented in the eyes of Cheng Shen and Govia.
He also saw something familiar in the unspeakable horrors......
Bloodsucker?
Werewolf?
Sheep?
What's so scary about these things......
No, they correspond to the psychology of a certain person, or they are shaped by the background of some special times, and they will indeed become the shadow of a generation.
Cheng Shen even saw zombies.
That's right.
It's the kind that jumps around wearing ancient official robes with green faces and fangs...
He had already guessed that this nightmare space was probably the most fearful thing in the hearts of everyone in this world. Not only monsters, but also many abstract strange beings that cannot be explained.
This couldn't help but cause Cheng Shen to ponder.
He... Afraid of what?
If the only thing he feared before he came to the game world, it might be Ah Piao. But after mastering supernatural powers, he learned that ghosts are nothing more than a condensation of spirit and soul, and can also be killed.
As for the more terrifying weirdness.
It is also that the more you know, the more you can face it calmly.
Cheng Shen was curious about what form the fear in his heart would take in this space......
"Almost......"
Finally escaping from the area surrounded by monsters, Govia gave Cheng Shen a look.
Cheng Shen checked the surroundings and made sure that there were no monsters, so he put the package down, and the huge flower bag no longer screamed at this moment, and the pitch-black lines condensed in the bright petals showed an unstable illusion.
"One cut in half?"
Cheng Shen was a little undecided holding the knife.
The most precious part of the human face flower is the top flower bag, and the second most valuable part is its blood. But the flower bag is precious in its integrity, and if it is broken from it, its value and preservation time will be greatly reduced.
"Wait until you catch the next one for me."
Govia's generous offer helped him solve this dilemma.
"It's fine."
Cheng Shen nodded.
An attempt at hunting just now also made him understand the effect of the ointment on the human face flower. The remaining few ointments are a little more useful, and if it goes well, you should be able to catch seven or eight human face flowers.
It's certainly not that easy to complete Yunus' mission in one day.
He looked at the human face flower in front of him, and after hesitating, he reached out and pulled off a petal, the bright red petal quickly faded after it broke away from the flower bag, becoming dark and withered, Cheng Shen directly threw it into his mouth and chewed it quickly.
"Hiss......"
The stinging pain in his mouth was incomparable, and the strong corrosiveness of the human face flower made him like chewing a fishy thorn.
Govia was stunned.
"That's not how ...... used"
She tried to explain the role of the human face flower to Cheng Shen, but when she thought that he knew more about this environment than herself, she immediately closed her mouth, and then looked at Cheng Shen with some expectation, hoping that he could bring a new surprise.
"Goo......!"
Cheng Shen took a lot of effort to swallow the chew mixed with his own blood, and the burning sensation went down the esophagus, all the way down, and fell into the stomach.
He frowned and endured the pain.
A moment later.
A complex stream of information suddenly flooded into his memory.
"The Medicinal Habits of the Human-faced Flower ......"
It's done!
Cheng Shen's face soothed.
The passive skills of the life profession can still take effect, which can't help but surprise him.
And this made him certain one thing.
This nightmare world is not a fictional space that exists in his consciousness, but a deep space puzzle piece that belongs to the main world. The power of the system is not ineffective, but is blocked by other forces.
But apparently it's not very thorough......
All the information about this special monster came to Cheng Shen's mind, he felt it for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Govia, "No one among the Nightmare residents has fully understood the growth characteristics of the Human Face Flower, right?" ”
"Not everyone can deal with such a terrifying thing...... "Govia explained in detail halfway through his words: "Except for Yunus, the human face flower is not of much value to others, and the risk is not proportional to the gain. ”
"But that's just what I know."
She said sternly.
"That's good."
Cheng Shen re-wrapped the flower bag on the ground and said, "I'll take you to a place, maybe you can have unexpected harvests." He was asking for advice, but in fact Govia had no other choice.
"The Sword Comes"
After distinguishing in the vast fog, Cheng Shen took Govia and began to move in one direction.
The visibility in the fog was about thirty or forty meters.
This distance is enough for the two of them to spot the danger and avoid it in advance. And Govia's experience in exploring the fog is much richer than what she introduced, which helps a lot.
Especially at such an important juncture of her life and death......
"Where the hell are you taking me?"
After wandering aimlessly for half an hour, Govia finally couldn't help but ask.
Cheng squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and then dug it down, and a dark red soon appeared in the gray-yellow soil.
"It's coming."
He patted the dirt off his hands and nodded imperceptibly.
It's been so long.
The surrounding environment has changed a lot.
From the plains at the beginning, to the low shrubs that were half a man tall everywhere, but these vegetation had been eroded by the nightmare force, and the growth was twisted and deformed, charred and dry, like a charred corpse.
The color of the soil on the ground gradually becomes darker.
And Govia was keenly aware that the surrounding terrain was constantly rising, and it was not obvious at first, but when the two of them crossed the boundary between the two distinctly colored strata, gray and dark red, the front suddenly became steeper.
Stone pillars with uneven surfaces stand on the ground, like a twisted human body, and dark red vines are like the blood vessels and veins of this land, intricately intertwined, spreading and entwined, and can be seen everywhere.
Thundered......
Govia was stunned to see the two human-faced flowers entangled with each other rolling down not far away.
It's like......
Two frolicking beast cubs.
"We ......"
Govia tried to say something to ease the shock in his heart.
"Shh......h
Cheng Shen immediately made a silent gesture, he lowered his voice and said: "This is the nest of the peanut grows in the human face, we will set a trap here to attract them to kill, and it should be no problem to get the remaining number in one day." ”
"Human-faced flowers and nests?!"
Govia's eyes widened.
"Or do you think they popped out of the rocks?"
Cheng Shen gave her a strange look.
Let's talk about it.
He stepped back a little further and hid the flower bag of the human face flower from before.
This thing is the size of a basin and weighs more than a dozen pounds, so it is very inconvenient to move.
After that, Cheng Shen continued to arrange the trap in the previous way.
He winked at Govia, "You're still in charge of attracting the monster, be careful not to touch those red veins, which are Kao's breeding rhizomes, and wake it up, neither of us can escape." ”
After hearing this, Govia's already hesitant expression became even more hesitant, she rubbed her hands and said, "You know this place so well, why don't you change your job......"
"My back hurts...... I can't move because of the pain......"
Her complexion changed dramatically.
"I'm going to save my strength and run away with you."
Cheng Shen said.
"You ......"
His high-sounding reason made Govia unable to refute, so he had to grit his teeth with secret hatred and leave as if resigned to his fate, Cheng Shen looked at her back after setting up the trap, and his eyes were calm and he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
"It's coming!"
The panting Govia lured a human-faced flower to the trap again, Cheng Shen had already laid an ambush on the side, and when the human-faced flower had swallowed the ointment and fell into a coma, he immediately jumped out of his hand and cut off the flower bag.
Poof!
Jet-black juice sprayed the ground, eroding the ground and revealing a patch of white bone.
Cheng Shen skillfully packed the flowers into a net bag woven from thorn rhizomes, and counted them with his eyes.
“24。”
"Almost!"
Govia on the side panted, the hair on her sideburns and forehead was already wet with sweat, messy, and her plain white and thin long skirt was also soaked, clinging to her skin, revealing her emaciated figure.
But Cheng Shen was not interested in peeking at her long-term malnourished shriveled figure, and nodded, "It's okay." ”
He cut off two rhizomes from the corpse of the human face flower, inserted them into the net pocket, sealed the opening, and then vigorously pulled the handle wrapped with strips of cloth, and slowly dragged the bag of nearly 300 catties of booty.
Creak......
A few irregularly shaped cobblestones, turning at the bottom of the carriage woven by the thorn rhizomes, greatly reduced Cheng Shen's burden.
Govia was busy trying to blame him, and of course he wasn't idle, and this simple trailer was the fruit of his labor.
Otherwise, no matter how much loot you harvest, it will be a problem if you can't bring it back.
"That's the end of it?"
Govia gasped heavily.
"Well, I'll help you find the herbs first."
Cheng Shen said.
At this time, Govia didn't seem to care about her life, and turned her head unwillingly to the craggy and strange stone forest, and said, "Didn't you say that there might be unexpected gains?" You don't want to be prepared to swallow it alone! ”
Cheng Shen glanced at her, and said in a displeased and angry tone: "The sleeping ointment has been used up, if you want to use your life to lure that Kao out to fulfill me, of course it's not impossible." ”
Govia ignored his taunts.
Asked:
"What's in the lair?"
"I don't know."
"Heh, stingy!"
Naturally, Govia wouldn't believe him, but he didn't want to miss out on this benefit, so he hurriedly said, "Then let's continue to cooperate tomorrow!" If you can satisfy me, I'll consider telling you who the real ghost is! ”
“……”
Cheng Shen turned his head and looked at her with a calm expression, his cold eyes made Govia's heart beat wildly, and a sharp blade quietly slipped into the palm of his hand.
Only then did she see Cheng Shen nodding slowly.
"Okay."
Govia only thought that Cheng Shen was reminding them of the real relationship between them, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to smile awkwardly, but he held back his stomach.
The scene fell silent.
Cheng Shen took out the lump of dirt in the town and put it in his hand to feel it, dragging the cart on his shoulder, listening to the overwhelming creak of the rough bearings.
On the road.
He followed the pre-marked spot to pluck all the several useful herbs.
The chill emanating from the dirt in the palm of his hand was already very strong.
Imply.
They were getting closer and closer in the direction of the town.
"So you've calculated everything!"
Govia watched Cheng Shen pick one herb after another, some herbs had already been seen by the two when they came, but Cheng Shen deliberately didn't pick them, just to force her to cooperate to catch the human face flower, and couldn't help but curse in secret.
Cheng Shen ignored her, carefully distinguished the road in front of him, and tried to walk in a flat place to avoid damaging the trailer.
As long as you can get back to town, the mission of this trailer is accomplished.
Call!
Fog was rising all around.
From the time the change occurred to the two of them realizing that something was wrong, in less than a second, the dense mist had already compressed the field of vision to two meters in front of them.
"What's going on!?"
Govia became alert and hurriedly moved closer to Cheng Shen, after this series of changes, Cheng Shen's safe and reliable image has been ingrained in her heart, so that she subconsciously made a choice in the face of danger.
"I should ask you ...... this sentence"
Cheng Shen let go of the trailer, took the Nightmare Blade in his hand, and reached into his arms with his other hand to take out a paper bag.
"Didn't you say the ointment ran out!?"
Govia glared at him.
"You're talking a lot of nonsense."
Cheng Shen glanced at her and left a packet of ointment for backup, so as not to have an accident on the way back, isn't it a normal choice? He still prefers Govia's unruly and calm judgment of the state of things at the beginning.
"The man's words are really a lie! No, liar! ”
Govia gritted her teeth.
"Shh......h
Cheng Shen asked her to be quiet, the changes around her had already begun to appear, the dense fog suddenly came over and completely engulfed the two, and then, it quickly and strangely subsided, but the surrounding environment had changed dramatically.
At some point, neat stone bricks were paved under his feet, and pieces of moss-covered remnants appeared on the originally empty plain.
There were whispers in my ears, as if there were countless figures walking in the fog outside the field of vision, and the scene of shadows and shadows was like a hazy curtain, making people feel like they were in the world, and as if they were in it.
Govia had already thought of something.
His face suddenly turned pale.
"Foggy Mirage!"
She didn't have any information about the Fog Mirage, and because of this, the most terrifying threat in the Gray Fog Region was terrifying, and no one who had experienced the Fog Mirage could get out alive!
