Chapter 45: The Blank Area
Chen Ye led everyone to retreat while fighting.
Compared with the mutants, these snake-tailed Rafflesia, which are controlled by mycelium, are more difficult to entangle.
He quickly ran out of filler for his gloves, and there were only a few acid grenades left in the storage space.
There were only some ordinary crossbow arrows left in Lin Zimo's hands.
Lu Ze, whose spiritual power was on the verge of exhaustion, was not comfortable at the moment.
After running all the way for nearly half an hour, the exhausted crowd finally arrived at their destination.
The blank area shown in the Kunyu map is filled with extremely thick fog at the moment.
This is really a bit abrupt in a dense forest.
Li Ranran and the others were about to enter the fog, but they were stopped by Chen Ye.
Because on the ground not far away, there were a dozen corpses, most of them white.
It seems to belong to the same team of people as the survivors seen in the ruins of the town just now.
Among them, one of the corpses was cut in two.
The lower half of the body remains on the outside of the mist.
The top half collapsed into the fog and turned to charcoal.
"Something is wrong in this place, be careful!"
Chen Ye didn't want to risk the danger and force himself into the unknown area, so he could only choose a detour.
But the fog was so large that it had spread into the nearby forest.
So before they could get far, the murderous mutants caught up.
During the battle, several mutants fell into the fog.
With a crackling sound, several electric lights flashed through the mist.
The mutants who crossed the line were all burned to ashes by the electricity.
It was also at this moment that Chen Ye noticed that in the surging mist, there was a translucent barrier made up of countless diamond-shaped squares.
And every second, a blue light flashes on the surface of the barrier.
This place is really not simple!
At the same time as Chen Ye sighed, there was a dense roar around him.
Everyone had no way out, so they could only stand on the edge of the fog, put on an offensive posture, and make a final resistance.
Mutants of various shapes, the huge snaketail Rafflesia, and the mycelium that spread like a tide along the road were all enveloped.
There are so many enemies that it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive even if they have modern thermal weapons now.
However, the next scene made Chen Ye, who looked solemn, quite surprised.
A group of mutants all gathered around the outer edge of the mist, their teeth and claws constantly letting out threatening roars.
It looks vicious, but in fact, they don't even dare to take a single step.
Chen Ye didn't quite understand.
Are you afraid of them, or are you afraid of the fog behind you?
At this moment, a stream of mycelium poured out of the ground, and a humanoid creature condensed again.
Instead of immediately attacking the crowd and approaching the Misty Zone, it said a word in an eerie tone.
After real-time translation by the system, Chen Ye understood the meaning of this sentence.
It's short and it's very straightforward.
"This is not the place you should be!"
Hearing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but glance back.
According to the scale of the Kunyu map, the area of the blank landform is nearly 3 hectares.
What is hidden in this that makes the fungal community that controls the entire forest area so terrifying.
It can't be a more terrifying monster, right?
The nearby snake-tailed Rafflesia surrounded them, stretching out their tentacles to tie up the human adventurers in front of them.
The petals all over the body also opened, revealing mouthparts covered with sharp teeth and flowing corrosive mucus.
Chen Ye grabbed his fist gloves and prepared to fight to the death.
But at this moment, there was a crisp sword sound in his ears.
He immediately turned his head to look, only to find that Li Ranran directly split the snake tail in front of him with his sword.
And the moment it hit the alien beast, a ray of light bloomed on the sword's body, and then disappeared again.
At the same time, the snake-tailed Rafflesia, whose tentacles had been cut off, angrily pulled Li Ranran away.
With the force of the impact, her body flew backwards and crashed into the fog barrier.
"Ran!"
Lu Ze, who was blocking the strange beast not far away, shouted after seeing this scene.
He'd just seen the horrors of the barrier.
So it's clear that once you fall into it, you will definitely die.
Lu Ze rushed over as fast as he could, and hugged Li Ranran with a flying pounce.
The two of them fell heavily at the edge of the mist, but by inertia, they began to slide uncontrollably into the barrier of shimmering blue light.
Chen Ye repelled the snake-tailed Rafflesia and the mutant in front of him with a punch, and after seeing what was happening next to him, he rushed over to make a final remedy, but it was too late.
Li Ranran's eyes stared at her frightened eyes, and then half of her head sank into the fog.
The barrier hidden in the mist lit up in an instant.
Chen Ye's heart sank, he thought that this girl would be instantly broken down by the current and turn into a charcoal.
But seconds later, nothing happened.
Li Ranran even stood up and tried to touch the barrier with her body.
Still no current impulse was triggered.
Chen Ye, who looked puzzled, also retreated to the edge of the fog and stretched out his hand to test it.
The blood of the alien beast on the fist glove was instantly evaporated, but other than that, he did not suffer any damage.
Why is that?
Chen Ye didn't have time to delve in, and hurriedly waved to everyone: "Quick, everyone go in!" ”
Although it is not known what is hidden inside the barrier, it is the best shelter for the current situation.
And even if there is danger, there is at least a chance to fight.
It's better than staying outside and being eaten by alien beasts and mutants.
The crowd entered the barrier.
The humanoid creature standing outside, tilted its body, seemed to be puzzled.
I wonder why these human adventurers were able to walk into the fog barrier intact.
It let out a scream, and the alien beasts and mutants surrounding it immediately launched a charge.
But the barrier instantly erupted with terrifying pulsing currents, and all the alien beasts or mutants that touched it were all burned to charcoal.
A crackling sound sounded around him, and a large amount of life essence and survival points were assigned to Chen Ye and the others.
In less than a moment, the charred corpses were piled up into a mountain.
The humanoids outside gave up the attack and let out a roar of rage.
Chen Ye thought it would stop there.
But I didn't expect this guy to come to the front of the fog and stretch out his mimic arm.
Then, to everyone's surprise, something happened.
The gray-white arm wriggling with mycelium slowly passed through the glittering barrier.
There was neither a pulsing current falling from the sky, nor a crackling sound in the barrier.
How could this humanoid creature pass through the barrier?
Chen Ye subconsciously clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”
He didn't dare to stay long, and quickly led everyone to evacuate into the depths of the fog.
At this time, the humanoid creature standing on the edge of the fog did not advance for half a minute.
Because in its view, the entire foggy space is covered in red warning signs.
[Insufficient permissions, access is prohibited]
The other side.
When Chen Ye led everyone deep into the blank area, he found that the fog was only entrenched in the edge area, and the internal vision was very open.
But before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In front of them, a flying machine appeared diagonally stuck on the ground.
Or rather, a crashed cylindrical starship.
The part that remains on the surface alone is tens of meters long.
The shell is covered in a thick layer of earth and moss, as if it had been here a long time ago.
In addition, a blue pulse of electricity gushed out from the tail of the starship and rushed into the air at an altitude of 100 meters, building an entire fog barrier.
Chen Ye, who was stunned, walked to the front of the starship and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
It turns out that humans are not the first visitors to this apocalyptic world.
At this time, on the back of the cylindrical starship, the exclamations of Lu Ze and the others were heard.
"Brother Ye, come and see!"
Chen Ye thought that he had encountered some strange beast, so he hurriedly ran over to check.
But after bypassing the starship, I saw a set of Chinese-style pavilions with a courtyard not far away.
He hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, only to find that this was not an illusion at all.
At this time, Lu Ze and the others were gathered in the pavilion, as if they had made some big discoveries.
Chen Ye walked along the gravel path and into the courtyard.
Walk through a dry pond filled with dust and come to the gazebo.
There is a stone table in the pavilion with a set of chess pieces that have not yet been completed.
But neither chess nor Go.
Lu Ze blew off the dust on it and coughed twice: "I saw it in a book, this seems to be called Liubo, a war game played by people in the Han Dynasty. ”
"Han Dynasty?"
Chen Ye frowned, glanced at the pavilion, turned his head to look at the starship again, and couldn't help but curse.
"What the hell is going on?"
