Chapter 409 - Taoyuan
Although it is said that most of the people who enter the "Misty Swamp" have maps in their hands, if they go deeper and deeper, the reference value of this map is not very large.
After all, the depths of the "Misty Swamp" are very dangerous, and few people can successfully exit after venturing in. Moreover, even with the existence of such people, it is impossible to leak the information from the depths so kindly, and this kind of poor information is their own advantage!
Even if some information comes out occasionally, the deviation will be large because the warriors who enter it are not professionals in cartography. There may be some information in the depths that is true, but there is also a great possibility that it will deviate from the spread, and it is difficult to use it as a reference.
Now Lin Yan and his party are in this dilemma, they were just trying to escape from the area where the "God Devouring Worm" is located, but they didn't pay much attention to the route, they just roughly identified the direction, but now, they can't find the way.
Mingya said: "Xiao Yanzi, where are we?" ”
Lin Yan carefully identified the map, then scratched his head and said, "I can't distinguish it either!" ”
The number of "ghost fog trees" here has gradually increased, far from the previous sparse layout, I think it is too deep in the panic, and now the map in my hand has lost its reference, and the next thing is to rely on my own experience.
Fei Gan on the side said: "It should be almost to the 'Misty Ghost Forest'!" ”
Lin Yan nodded, he thought the same in his heart, after all, the terrain layout here was extremely similar to the rumored "Ghost Forest". Now this can be regarded as a mistake to the destination, but the surrounding gloomy environment always makes him feel a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but the required elixir is very likely to be in it, so he has to take a risk!
The three of them continued to move forward on a raft, and the number of "ghost fog trees" also surged, and by the time, they were already densely packed together, blocking the road.
Even so, the raft boat can no longer be used, but it is not completely unfeasible, because behind the dense "ghost fog tree", it is actually a small island.
This is a strange thing, there is still a place in the "Mysterious Fog Swamp" that can make people down-to-earth, and the "Ghost Fog Tree" around the outside has formed a natural barrier, as if to isolate this place from the dangerous swamp.
The trio carefully hid the raft to prevent it from being discovered by bystanders. After all, they are not the only ones who have entered the "misty swamp", and if someone sinks the raft or sets up an ambush on the spot to calculate them, they may be caught off guard and poisoned.
The so-called "you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people!" "It's always a good idea to be careful when you're in danger.
After doing this, Lin Yan and the three of them laboriously walked through the middle of the "ghost mist tree", and after passing through the guard-like woods, they really went to the island. It's just that the scene in front of them completely subverted their imagination.
Judging from the eerie atmosphere of the previous "Misty Swamp", this small island should probably be like this, but the actual situation is diametrically opposite, which is extraordinarily beautiful and makes people feel extremely unreal!
Everyone was greeted by a bright sunshine, and they didn't know how it could be so bright in this place shrouded in fog all year round. Moreover, the sunlight is not dazzling, but very soft, which makes people's mood relax unconsciously.
The lush trees on the island and the variety of unknown flowers and plants compete for each other, making it seem like a thriving scene, making you forget where you are.
What kind of danger is this place, it is clearly an unexplored paradise!
"This ......" The three of them were speechless in shock, and it took a long time to calm down.
Lin Yan settled down and said, "This place is a little weird, it's better not to take off the mask first." ”
Based on his previous experience, he instinctively felt a sense of disobedience here, although he couldn't say it for a while, but it was always right to be cautious.
It is a little strange to think that there is such a place like a paradise in the middle of danger, although there is no danger for the time being, but Lin Yan unconsciously tenses his nerves. Sometimes, the danger visible to the naked eye is not terrible, but the real horror is the danger hidden in the calm.
Needless to say, Ming Ya is not a simple little girl, she still has basic experience in the rivers and lakes, but because she has Lin Yan by her side, she will instinctively rely on some, and some things are too lazy to think.
It's just that the elixir needed may be on this small island, so it's inevitable to explore.
"Be careful!" Lin Yan reminded in a low voice, and he headed towards the island. His pace is neither fast nor slow, maintaining a relatively balanced pace, while also vigilantly observing his surroundings in order to be ready for emergencies.
Mingya and Fei Qian followed, heading towards the depths of the island.
Nothing happened along the way, except that after they passed through certain places, a certain branch would twitch; Or some flowers shake their heads, like a Mengtong who endorses it; Or a whimpering sound coming from a tree cavity that resembles a human face, like someone sobbing in a low voice...... However, these Lin Yan and the three of them didn't notice it, and they continued to walk inside.
Nothing has happened, and the vigilance of Lin Yan and the three of them has been lowered a lot, after all, maintaining a high degree of mental concentration for a long time is also very energy-consuming.
Just as they walked in front of a lush flower, they saw a figure facing away from them in the flower, this person was sitting cross-legged, as if he was meditating and cultivating, and he was a little weird.
I didn't want to disturb this person, but after all, the situation here is special, and the three of them don't know much about this place, so it would be great if they could find out some from the person in front of them!
Lin Yan took a few steps forward and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, you are polite!" Dare to ask Brother Tai to know where this is? If it's convenient, can you give us a brief introduction to the situation here, of course, I don't dare to delay the time of my brother in vain, there will be a thank you gift! ”
The shallow communication must not be deep, so Lin Yan did not have the idea of letting the other party share information in vain. Although the people who entered the "Misty Swamp" had their own reasons, the profit-seeking treasure hunters occupied a lot, as long as Lin Yan gave the right price, the other party should not refuse.
But after waiting for a long time, the figure didn't react, didn't even move his body, and completely ignored Lin Yan's words.
No matter how you look at this, it's a bit too arrogant and rude!
Lin Yan slowly raised his head and said, "Something is wrong! ”
He was surprised not that the figure didn't reply to his words, but that he didn't react at all. It stands to reason that if someone appears next to you, whether you want to respond or not, your body will instinctively make some subtle reactions. But the figure didn't move, it looked like a corpse!
Fei Gan said: "You mean, this is a corpse?" ”
Lin Yan nodded, in fact, he couldn't be sure, because he didn't find any scars on this figure as far as the naked eye could see, and it was obvious that the other party was not very old, it should be a young man, so he directly called him "Brother Tai" before. In fact, except that there is no response, it is no different from ordinary people.
"Yes or no, just give it a try!" Lin Yan was not a tangled character, he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve robe, and then shot towards the figure with a flick of his fingers. Before the situation was clear, he wouldn't rashly touch the man, but this temptation didn't use any force, but if the other party was still conscious, it was absolutely impossible to ignore it!
Innocently, the broken silver struck the man in the back, and then he fell straight forward, smashing into the flowers, stirring up a lot of petals.
Lin Yan frowned and said, "Dead? ”
Judging from the feedback just now, this man's body should be relatively soft, and he does not have the stiffness of a dead person. Lin Yan thought suspiciously: "Could it be that he just died?" ”
The flowers here are so gorgeous, but the man died silently in them, and the end is very weird, which makes people think about it very scary!
Lin Yan said: "Let's go around!" ”
Now that we know that there should be unknowable dangers in the flowers, there is no need to cause trouble, and it is better to avoid it.
Ming Ya and Fei Qian nodded in agreement, and just as the three of them were about to go around the flowers, a sudden change occurred, and the man who had fallen suddenly stood up in a strange posture, and then turned his head sharply and stared at the three of them.
Bright flowers bloomed in his two eye sockets, and his eyeballs were already bursting and he was nowhere to be found, while his head was mechanically deflected ninety degrees, and his bones made a "creaking" sound because they couldn't bear the pressure. He opened his mouth and smiled at Lin Yan and the others, but no matter how he looked at it, it was gloomy and weird.
"Rustle...... Rustle......"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from all around, and then something attacked the backs of Lin Yan and the others. Fortunately, none of them are weak hands, and they can defuse all the attacks under the vigor of the drum.
But when they turned around, they saw the torn branches and rattans, and they wondered, "How can this tree move?" ”
But the situation in front of them doesn't allow them to think too much, although this level of attack can't help them for the time being, but if they are dragged down, who knows what weird things will happen? So, it's better to get out as soon as possible!
Even though there were more and more branches and rattans, they attacked the three of them like a group of demons, but they couldn't get close at all, but they were all torn apart by the attacks of the three people. In a short time, a large pile of broken branches and rattans was left around the three of them.
And after these things were hurt, they didn't retreat, but they seemed to be stimulated with ferocity, and the attack became more and more crazy!
Among the flowers at this time, around the man before, five or six figures rose up one after another, thinking that they had fallen among the flowers before they came, so Lin Yan and the others did not notice it.
These figures are very different in age and appearance, but at this time, they are in the same posture as the man before, the flowers in their eyes are blooming, and their heads are staring at Lin Yan and the others at an incredible angle, revealing a faint smile.
"Hey!"
