Chapter 0007: Into the Woman and the Night
The Green River Valley is five hundred miles away from the town of Montenegro.
There are no horses, no flying spirit animals or magic weapons, and if you carry a burden and walk, you will definitely not be able to walk in a day.
In other words, Wang Ye will definitely experience the night.
Considering that two days and one night will definitely be completed, Wang Ye will not have to deliberately rush the schedule.
Walk at a constant pace to conserve your stamina and take a detour to avoid some danger zones.
The snow curtain is endless, and it does not distinguish everything and direction.
The river where the Green River Valley is located runs from northwest to southeast, while the town of Montenegro has to go all the way to the west, which means that Wang Ye cannot walk along the river and is getting farther and farther away from the riverbed.
This feeling was not very pleasant for Wang Ye, who traveled far for the first time in eight years, and it was extremely exciting, full of unknown dangers and challenges.
The snow in the wilderness kept falling.
The cold wind roared, like a fragmented knife cutting through the face.
The wind is unpredictable, and it's easy to get disoriented.
Wang Ye often spun in place, and finally relied on the reminder of the survival panel to go out.
The snow in the wilderness is knee-deeper, deeper than the river valley, and beneath the snow is cracked, soft loess, and when it is stained with snow, it is muddy when you step on it.
Especially Wang Ye was still carrying a burden of nearly 100 catties, and he stepped down, it was sour......
If this is a mortal who has not refined qi, he will have to kneel after walking ten miles.
However, the wind and snow tossed Wang Ye, and also tossed others or beasts.
Along the way, Wang Ye did not encounter the beast tide mentioned by the old merchant, nor did he meet the so-called hunting team, nor did he see any shadow of a woman.
In total, trekking in the wind and snow is quite romantic and freehand.
Wang Ye feels that as long as the environment is single, pure, and unchanged, no matter how difficult it is, it can be overcome.
And once things become complex and diverse, and emergencies increase, the survival panel may not be able to save him.
He enjoyed the feeling of walking in the snow.
However, the speed of the march in the snow was indeed a little slower.
Wang Ye roughly calculated the time and distance, and by the evening, he had walked less than two hundred miles.
Snowy nights come early.
If you rest at night, you will only be able to walk 200 miles during the day tomorrow, which means that you will have to experience a second night.
Therefore, Wang Ye had to continue to hurry at night!
He wanted to build a snow castle and sleep overnight......
After nightfall, the panel did not warn of the danger, which made Wang Ye's tense heart relax a little.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the wind and snow at night have become more raging, mixed with strange sounds.
The whispering of sometimes disappearing, sometimes distant and sometimes near, sometimes high and sometimes low, the pathos of shock and despair......
Carefully recognized, it was like a person's low moans and screams before dying, and it was impossible to distinguish the specific words.
Sometimes, the voice even sounds like it's talking to itself.
The feeling of being haunted by nightmares when you want to say it but can't say it is creepy.
It felt like I was dying.
Wang Ye pulled some noodles from the steamed bun and stuffed the dough into his ears, but these sounds still existed......
Obviously, this is a mental attack!
Psychic attack means that you are trapped in it before you realize what is happening.
With Wang Ye's attention, he was brought into rhythm by a strange sound, and a black shadow gradually appeared in front of him.
Huge, wandering black shadows floated in the snow curtain, flickering far and near around Wang Ye.
Wang Ye looked carefully, and it turned out to be a large and small, strange and incomplete human form.
Like bloody viscera, struggling, tearing, bloody, terrifying, endless.
Some had their arms broken, some had their legs broken, some had their waists cut off, and some had no heads...... Hideous, miserable, and uttering terrifying syllables.
The remnants of the black shadows in all directions kept grabbing Wang Ye, one after another, trying to drag him into the unknowable abyss.
If you look closely, you can see that you are trapped in the cycle of calamity......
It was as if they were shouting at him one by one:
"Help me...... Help me......"
Wang Ye's heart rose to his throat, and for a moment, it seemed that his will to life had been erased, and he felt that he was also a member of these crippled bodies.
At this time, the panel finally moved.
You are being attacked by the "companion ghosts" of the Twelve Calamities and Hundred Strange Night Walks. 】
Companion ...... It seems that it is a calamity that can only be resisted and cannot be avoided, otherwise the survival guide would have reminded him to avoid it.
Presumably, this companion ghost is also one of the characteristics of the night in the Calamity Era, otherwise, how can there be so many ghosts waiting for you as a human?
If you want to attack every human who goes through the night, it's not enough to walk in the night.
Tens of billions of treacherous night walks are about the same.
With the hint of the survival panel, Wang Ye forcibly calmed down.
He guessed that he had cultivated the Qi cultivation technique to the second realm that Han Ping's predecessors said, seeing that the mountains were not mountains, and everything was a ghost, which magnified the power of the companion ghosts.
At the moment, he didn't know any awakening spells, so he had to take out the torch, crouch down to protect himself from the wind, and then light it with a fire breaker.
The flames slowly rose and ignited.
Then use the fire continuation talisman bought by fifty catties of Linggu and stick it one inch in front of the handle of the fire grasp, the center of the hand and the flame.
Suddenly, the flames erupted.
With the maintenance of the fire continuation talisman, the flame will not be extinguished no matter how the cold wind blows, and it burns violently.
The wind-blown slanted flames, which held up an irregular spherical light mask in the wind and snow, successfully dispelled the auditory and visual hallucinations brought by the companion ghosts.
Burn, burn for Lao Tzu!
Wang Ye fixed the torch on the burden, and concentrated his spirit in the firelight, regardless of the road under his feet...... Anyway, there is a survival guide to give him tips.
Sure enough, as the sage said: Don't go gently into the night, use fire.
The fire renewing charm was not bought in vain!
However, there are also downsides.
Generally speaking, ordinary beasts are afraid of fire, but advanced beasts are not.
Fire, which means that there are human beings, is the object of fierce beasts.
Some beasts are very sensitive to fire, and can even sense the existence of fire remotely through their divine sense.
After walking for less than half an hour, Wang Ye received a danger reminder from the panel-
[A group of snow leopards in the Qi Refining Realm are rushing over from the north. 】
A Qi refining snow leopard can still fight, and a group of snow leopards can still fight?
Wang Ye had to change direction and avoid it urgently.
After another quarter of an hour, the panel reminded him again:
[A giant white bear with three layers of qi refining is blocking the way ahead. 】
Bear skins and bear paws are very valuable, but the third layer of qi refining is still worth it.
Wang Ye took a detour.
After another quarter of an hour, the panel reminded again.
[A tide of hundreds of thousands of jackdaws is flying in from the south. 】
The beast tide is finally here......
Although the panel did not say that it was a fierce beast of qi refining, the scale of hundreds of thousands of jackdaws estimated that even the powerhouses in the late stage of qi refining might not be able to withstand it.
Wang Ye continued to dodge.
Soon.
[A group of mandrill ...... of the Qi Refining Realm]
Wang Ye served.
What kind of wilderness is this? The ecology is the same as that of the African savannah.
At night, the beasts don't sleep one by one, and the successive servants are as lively as the New Year!
Not panicking is fake.
There is also a little bit of excitement in the panic.
Wang Ye constantly evaded the pursuit of the fierce beast through advance prediction and snakeskin positioning.
But as there were more and more fierce beasts, he couldn't avoid it.
I had to extinguish the torch and accept the spiritual baptism of the accompanying ghost.
Fortunately, there were many fierce beasts nearby, and they collided with each other and fought with each other, diverting some of Wang Ye's attention, and actually weakened the spiritual attack of the companion ghosts, and gritted his teeth and reluctantly accepted it......
In this way, Wang Ye single-handedly disrupted the pattern of fierce beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles.
But when the beast came around him, he disappeared without a trace.
Jumping on the grave, running away after pretending to be forced...... That's probably how it feels.
It wasn't until the dark wind and snow that Wang Ye saw a huge, red-clothed woman figure head-on.
The woman was extremely tall, with a cloak like a hat, and underneath it was a red robe that looked like a waterfall, spontaneously glowing red on a snowy night.
Wang Ye was frightened.
…… Is it a female ghost?
Or is it the beautiful woman that the old merchant said?
Wearing a hat, he can't see his face clearly, and he can't see his figure in a wide red robe...... I can't say it's pretty.
The temperament is not very human-like.
Like a faint and floating dark fire, it is obviously in front of you, but it feels far away in the sky and untouchable.
The more serious problem is that when you get so close, the survival panel doesn't remind you!
After waiting for a while, the panel prompted:
[A remote projection of an unknown lifeform does not seem to be malicious.] 】
Wang Ye understood, the survival guide is more sensitive to malicious objects, and if there is no malicious intent, he will only give exploration information on his face.
What the hell is the projection of an unknown life......
There are so many unknown secrets in this world!
"Avoiding so many beasts at the same time...... This shouldn't be the divine consciousness of a Qi Refining Cultivator. ”
The voice of the woman in red is sometimes far away, sometimes near, far away like an oracle in the sky, and when it is near, it is like the whisper of a mother in her ear.
"It's so much fun...... Can you see me? ”
I can't see!
Wang Ye shouted in his heart, feeling that he couldn't avoid it.
deliberately avoided it, but let the other party worry about it.
So, he rubbed his eyes, pretended not to see anything, and walked straight into the woman's body.
