Chapter 27: The Mystery of the Fog (10)
"This lampshade is my memory when I was a child, I knew before that I was an abandoned baby picked up by my eldest brother, but how I was abandoned and how I was picked up this memory has long been forgotten, after all, I was too young at that time, I didn't expect to recall it all through this lantern......"
"I shouldn't be from Xuanqing City, is the person who brought me to Xuanqing City my father?"
"After putting me in Xuanqing City, he probably went to do something dangerous, and never came back......"
Long Qisheng sighed and continued to look for the lampshade.
An hour later, he found his lampshade and returned to the edge of the dungyard with a large pile of lampshades that he had lost somebody.
"See if there's any of your lampshades in there."
Long Qisheng threw a bunch of lampshades in front of Tang Ying, and glanced at her lower abdomen, which was no longer flat before, and was already slightly raised, as if she was four or five months pregnant.
It's not good......
"Tang Ying, let's cut that thing out! Otherwise, I'm afraid that when it grows up, it will violently break open your stomach and run out, then you will really be hopeless. ”
"Huh? It turns out that my name is Tang Ying. ”
Long Qisheng was speechless: "It's okay for you to pay attention to the key points!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... I'll get my memories back before I decide! ”
Tang Ying rummaged through it, found the six lampshades he had lost, put them back on the lampstand and read the memory.
Then, she looked at Wuhou who was lying down, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching.
"What about the captain's memory?"
"His consciousness has been sucked into the 'fog', and if no miracle happens, I'm afraid he won't wake up."
After a pause, Long Qisheng said again: "This may be a good thing for him, at least he doesn't have to die......
"I can't do anything about the captain's situation, so let's try to save you first!"
Long Qisheng took out a knife again: "When the judgment is constantly reversed, whether it is cut or not, you can make a decision now!" ”
"Uh...... We don't seem to have any anesthetic......
"What is anesthetic? Soul chasers don't need anesthetics! ”
Tang Ying: ......
"By the way, Long Qisheng, my memory is missing, and this memory is missing between the time I just entered the Ethereal Spirit Realm and our amnesia! What about you? ”
"I'm missing this paragraph too, it should be that something suddenly happened after we backed up our memories, and we lost our memories before we had time to back them up, so I lost the memory of this paragraph...... This is not urgent, please don't divert the topic! ”
"I ......" Tang Ying gritted her teeth, "Don't cut it!" ”
"Okay, I'm ...... now What? ”
Long Qisheng frowned and looked at her: "Don't cut it?" Do you want to wait for this thing to grow up and burst open your belly and jump out? ”
Tang Ying shook his head: "Long Qisheng, don't waste your time here, find a way to leave the Void Spirit Realm!" If you're fast enough to get out and call for help, or I'm still saved. ”
Long Qisheng was silent.
Tang Ying smiled weakly: "Long Qisheng, the lives of me and the captain are all entrusted to you!" Go for it! ”
"Since it's your decision...... So be it! ”
Long Qisheng walked into the thick fog with the lantern and headed towards the depths of the swamp.
There are two ways to leave the Ethereal Realm, find the 'door', or kill the Ethereal Spirit.
This time is different from the last time, no one gave him guidance, and looking for a door in such a big place is undoubtedly unrealistic to find a needle in a haystack.
He was going to try to kill the Ethereal, and if the Ethereal was dead, the three of them would be able to leave.
As long as he leaves the Ethereal Spirit Realm, he can call for help, and with the background of the Spirit Chaser, maybe the two of them can still be saved!
Long Qisheng once saw the virtual spirit in the memories of the villagers, but he couldn't intuitively feel the strength of the virtual spirit by borrowing other people's eyes, and he didn't know the details of the virtual spirit.
The intelligence said that the ethereal spirit at this node was E-class, and if it was really E-class, he felt that there was still hope.
The fog was endless, and Long Qisheng quickly lost his sense of direction.
You can only move on with your intuition.
As we walked, we came to a fork in the road, on the ground covered with mizuzawa mud and mushrooms, there was a winding path on the left and right that could be walked by, and on the right there was a stream in the shape of "Φ".
"I remember this place, in the memory of that villager, this road is where the big mushroom is."
Long Qisheng looked at the road on the left: "Then where does this road lead?" ”
After thinking for a moment, Long Qisheng walked along the path on the left towards the depths of the slime swamp.
There was no danger along the way.
Could it really be that as the dung digger captain said, this swamp is one of the few safe places in the Ethereal Spirit Realm?
So what's going on with Tang Yingzhi?
Her headband was unharmed, indicating that it was not assimilated or polluted, and Wu Hou and I did not feel anything abnormal.
How is she different from us?
She was...... Woman!
"The mushroom factory is built in a swamp, and all the people who work it are men, and no woman enters the swamp except the village chief...... Is this another 'rule'? ”
Long Qisheng was a little annoyed, how could he ignore such important information?
But......
"If there is such a rule, why would they build a mushroom factory in a swamp? Isn't this asking for trouble? ”
"Unless, it is not their will to build a mushroom factory, they have no right to decide whether to build it or not, where to build it......"
"The village chief is the servant of the ethereal spirit, and the workers of the mushroom factory are all slaves of the ethereal spirit, so that mushroom factory actually serves the ethereal spirit?"
"It's a pity that I didn't dig up any more information from the manure captain......"
Long Qisheng stopped.
He saw several large hoof prints, imprinted next to a cluster of mushrooms.
The upper half of the mushrooms were gone, and only the roots remained, and judging from the shape of the fractures, they should have been gnawed off.
Thinking back to the appearance of the ethereal spirit, Long Qisheng was sure that this was the footprints left by the ethereal spirit!
"The dung digging captain said that mushrooms can't be eaten, but I see that this virtual spirit eats very happily, and Tai Sui doesn't blame him."
"Ethereal spirits feed on mushrooms, and ethereal slaves have set up mushroom factories in slime swamps, as well as special dung squads to transport mushroom...... I don't believe it if you want to say that the void spirit and Tai Sui don't have a leg, they are designated as a gang! ”
"Dog's intelligence department, about the existence of Tai Sui, there is not a word in the mission details......"
Following those footprints, Long Qisheng went all the way deep into the swamp, and found an ancient relic in the depths of the swamp.
The ruins are in the same style as the factory, but more elaborate and magnificent, and although the palace-like buildings built on the hill have mostly collapsed and are dilapidated, you can still feel solemn and serious from them.
The collapsed palace is surrounded by ruined walls, rusted mechanical structures, weathered bones, and shriveled pipelines that form a landscape of curious paintings.
The ruins of the buildings in the shade are covered with vines and mushroom blankets, and the occasional flash of mushrooms can be seen.
Long Qisheng walked around the palace, but found no trace of the void spirit, there were many footprints near here, some new and some old, and he couldn't tell where the void spirit had gone for a while.
Definitely not near the palace anyway.
Determining that the ethereal spirit was not here, Long Qisheng walked into the remnants of the palace.
Unexpectedly, I found that the inside of the palace was much cleaner than the outside, there was no mess, and there was very little dust.
"It's like someone lives there! Who would live in such a place? Could this be the dwelling place of the ethereal? ”
Hiss –
Originally, I thought that this palace might be related to the dense fog and fog, maybe I could find a way to rescue Wuhou, but who knew that I would come directly to the bedroom of the void spirit!
Hurry up and slip ......
But as soon as he turned around, Long Qisheng was facing the six eyes of the void spirit.
I don't know when, the huge void spirit actually stood silently at the only entrance of the palace.
Many words flashed in Long Qisheng's mind in an instant: the bird entered the cage, threw himself into the net, killed himself, and sent people to his head for thousands of miles......
Also, catch turtles in urns......
"The grotesqueness of a rare breed? Your Flesh ...... It's so fragrant~~~~"
The ethereal spirit spoke, and the surprise in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Long Qisheng understood him, and if he went home and pushed the door open, he would be very surprised to see a table of delicious delicacies in the room!
Now, it's time to put your acting skills to the test!!
"Lord Ethereal! I've finally found you! ”
Long Qisheng also showed a look of surprise, and took the initiative to surrender: "Lord Void Spirit, I have always admired you very much, and I look forward to being your servant every day, loyal to you, the sea is rotten, and I will not swerve until death!" Take me, lowly servant. ”
The Void Spirit shook his two heads together, staring at Long Qisheng playfully: "So this is the reason why you killed the Sword Girl?" In order to replace it? ”
Knife girl?
Long Qisheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this should be the name of the village chief.
"Hmm...... Would you believe me if I said it was just an accident to kill her......"
"Do you think I should believe it?"
"Whatever you think is right, it's all my fault!"
Long Qisheng decisively admitted his mistake: "But no matter what, she is already dead, and it is impossible for her to come back to life, you need to find another slave to take care of the chores for you after all, don't you?" I think I'm just the right fit......"
"Anyone can be a slave, but such delicious blood food is rare!"
As he spoke, the two heads licked their lips together, saliva dripping all over the ground......
Long Qisheng's heart was cold, Nima, you have to eat me!
"Isn't there room for negotiation...... Long Qi was unrelenting: "If I become the village head, I can send you a blood food every day!" ”
“tui! Those grotesque meats are sour and smelly, and dogs don't eat them! ”
"I'm now, just now! Think! Eat! You! ”
Nima ......
That's it......
Long Qisheng hung his head in despair: "If you want to eat me, I won't resist, it's my honor to be your blood food, but for the sake of me taking the initiative to send it to the door, can you answer some doubts for me?" ”
The void spirit thought for a moment and nodded: "For the sake of your acquaintance, I can answer your three questions." ”
Three questions......
"One of my friends' consciousness has been sucked into the fog, is there a way to save it?"
"I haven't been to the fog room either, but Tai Sui is the master of this swamp, and the fog is also under his control, so the only way is to beg 'Tai Sui' to let him return your friend's consciousness to him, of course, you don't have this chance."
The void spirit stared at Long Qisheng: "I won't allow you to save your friends and come back for me to eat, besides, Tai Sui won't take care of you." ”
"I don't have such a plan...... Long Qisheng was helpless, and asked the second question: "I also have a female friend, who has been very uncomfortable since entering the slime swamp, and when she arrived at the mushroom manure field, she was inexplicably pregnant, do you know what is going on?" ”
"It's the rules of slime swamps." The void spirit shook his head and said, "If a woman inhales too much mist, she will gradually turn into a plant, and those plants in the slime swamp except for mushrooms are all changed by people nine times out of ten. ”
"As for how much inhalation will turn into a plant, it depends on the strength of this woman, if she is strong enough, she can resist this rule."
"Once it starts to change, you can touch the mushroom feces to solve it, but it will trigger another consequence: the foggy tire."
"The fog is treacherous, twelve hours of pregnancy, once delivered, the consequences are unpredictable."
"Life and death, it's just five or five!"
Long Qisheng's face was solemn: "What if you open your stomach halfway and take out the fog tire?" ”
"The fog tire is invisible, can't be seen or touched, how to take it?"
The ethereal spirit shook his head: "This question is for you, ask the last question, I can't wait to taste your flesh and blood, slip~~"
“……”
I thank you!!
Long Qisheng asked, "Last question, Lord Void Spirit, what level of strength is you?" ”
"Level?"
The ethereal spirit thought for a moment: "According to the division of human spirit chasers, I should be C+!" ”
Long Qisheng gasped and silently began to undress.
"Lord Ethereal, I'll take off my clothes so that you don't stuff your teeth."
The Ethereal is ready to dine.
Long Qisheng and died.
