Volume 1: Ten Years of Zhaowu Chapter 149 Misty Forest
The next day.
God seems to know that they are going into the Misty Forest today, so the weather is very bad.
It was gray, the air was filled with a thick fog, and it was difficult to see anyone walking from the other side when a person stood twenty meters away.
God seems to like to put obstacles in your way when you want to do something.
It's like you don't want to spend money to wash your car, you want to wait for a rain, you can't wait for many days, and you can only spend money to wash it in the end. As a result, as soon as the car was washed, it rained heavily the next day.
This may be the so-called game world!
Xuanwu and Wang Cheng and others gathered in the big tent, and they did not set off rashly with such a big fog.
"Shopkeeper Qian, have you Baozhi Hall people encountered such a big fog when they entered the Misty Forest before?"
Xuanwu asked Qian Shan as usual, although he had a personal grudge with Qian Shan, but he couldn't be sloppy when it came to human life.
Qian Shan nodded and said, "I have encountered it, and I have encountered a fog bigger than this." ”
"With such a big fog, is it dangerous to cross the Misty Forest?" Xuanwu asked.
Qian Shan said: "There will definitely be danger. ”
He looked at the tent and frowned, and said, "Don't forget, my lords, this is the Misty Forest, it's a Jedi, how can there be no danger?" ”
Xuanwu nodded slightly, and asked again, "What danger have you people from Baozhi Hall encountered here?" ”
Qian Shan said: "The most common thing is to get lost, even if two people are holding hands, one moment the hands are still holding, and the next moment the person behind them is gone, and no one knows how he disappeared." ”
He paused, then continued, "It's nothing, there's a group of dozens of people who lost it together." Without any warning, it was like disappearing out of thin air. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces sank.
Maybe it's out of instinct, people have such a mentality, not afraid of the visible, just afraid of the invisible, the unknown!
"Do you know why?" Xuanwu asked in a deep voice.
Qian Shan said: "Basically none of the lost people can come back alive, I heard an old man in the clan say that there are female ghosts in the forest, which will deceive people's hearts." ”
Wang Cheng and Pan Meng looked at each other as if they had a heart.
Pan Meng spoke at this time: "The money shopkeeper is right, there are indeed female ghosts in the forest, more precisely, the most demagogic pink skeleton." The brothers who mysteriously disappeared last night were deceived by them. One of Wang Duwei's brothers escaped by chance, and Wang Duwei knew the situation there better. ”
Wang Cheng no longer hid it, and immediately told him a rough overview of what happened last night, and didn't mention anything about the experience with Pan Meng.
"Four-headed demon? There's an even more powerful guy under the water? Isn't this fucking going in looking for death? Huang Meiren is still straightforward.
"I also think it's unwise to enter the Misty Forest at this time!" Tang Cheng said.
He Wushuang nodded and said, "Not bad! The fog is too big at the moment, and it can't be said that the things under the water are doing something. ”
"Smack!"
Just as everyone was refusing to advance, a hand slapped on the handle of the chair.
But it was the guardian who had never said a word, the white tiger.
He got up from the chair with a "brush" and said coldly: "It's still a fart!" Go in or get out! ”
With these words, he was once again the same as last night, and the man was out of the camp in an instant.
Leaving everyone looking at each other for a while.
Xuanwu made a decision at this time: "The white tiger is right, the misty forest will always enter, even if you don't enter today, you will have to enter tomorrow." If it is delayed any longer, the dozen or so people in Qinglong may be gone. ”
He changed his words: "However, for the sake of safety, this time, we will divide our forces!" ”
Nine a.m.
The sky was still gray, and the sun was nowhere to be seen, but the fog was noticeably less.
One hundred and fifty people, all armed with weapons, marched towards the Misty Forest.
The white tiger walked in front with a glaive knife in his hand, and Wang Cheng, Pan Meng, Tang Cheng, Huang Meiren, and He Wushuang each led thirty people to follow behind.
Half of the elite men and horses of the Xuanwei were all dispatched.
The Misty Forest has low terrain, high humidity, and abundant underground water sources, so many varieties of trees grow.
Because few people come here, no one cuts down, and many trees have grown for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, so tall and thick that neither of them can hug each other.
After entering the jungle, because of the big trees, the visibility was even lower, and even the twelve serious Dacheng martial artists couldn't even see anything ten meters away.
Wang Cheng's telekinesis encountered a great obstacle here, and he could only probe within thirty meters.
He gathered thirty of his men together and said, "Raise your torches, everyone!" Hands and hands are tied with ropes, and once there is any abnormal movement, call for help as soon as possible! ”
As far as the fox could remember, the Misty Forest was also divided into patches, and all of them were Lordlands. Every area is inhabited by monsters and spirits, and many monsters don't even dare to provoke them.
It seems to be the Heart Pool, on the outskirts of the Misty Forest, which is the area where their sisters are active.
These monsters and monsters usually do not interfere with the river water, and maintain a certain tacit understanding. But once a strong outsider enters, they will also have the same hatred.
At that moment, Wang Cheng's thirty-one captains were holding torches in one hand and holding the hand of the person in front of them with the other, forming a long dragon and moving forward carefully.
In fact, Wang Cheng's telekinesis is just enough to envelop everyone, but for the sake of safety, he had better be careful, because this place is full of unknowns and dangers.
Huang Meiren did the same, and let his part learn from Wang Cheng's posture.
Seeing this, He Wushuang and Tang Cheng, who were following behind, also let their own people do the same.
So the group all carried torches, and the light of the fire dispelled the fog around them, and walked cautiously through the jungle.
After walking all the way for five or six miles, they didn't encounter any monsters and monsters, and everyone couldn't help but relax their vigilance.
At this moment, Pan Meng, who was at the front of the team, stopped everyone.
Wang Cheng and Huang Meiren came to the front and asked her what had happened.
Pan Meng pointed to the old tree on the side and said, "Look! ”
Wang Cheng and the others followed her gaze and saw a mark on the trunk of the tree.
And in more than one place, on the old trees in front, there are also such markings.
This mark is the mark unique to their Xuanwei, and they have not forgotten to do it along the way.
Because in addition to arriving at the Black Dragon Pond to join the guardian envoys Qinglong, Vermilion Bird and others, they also had to find a safe route for the guardian envoy Xuanwu and them.
"So, we've found the mark they left behind by Lord Qinglong?" Huang Meiren said.
At this time, there was only one reasonable explanation for the marks found on their way forward, these marks were left by Qinglong in advance.
"Finally found it!"
The crowd rejoiced.
None of them could find a single such mark along the way, not even before entering the woods.
"The direction is fine, right?" Wang Cheng said suddenly.
At this time, Qian Shan lowered his eyebrows and looked at a palm-sized compass in his hand, and as he continued to adjust the angle, the pointer on the compass always pointed in one direction.
He nodded to Wang Cheng and said, "No problem." ”
"Let's go!"
This time it was the guardian White Tiger who spoke, and he walked down the marker towards the depths of the jungle with a torch in one hand and a glaive knife in the other.
Pan Meng and the others immediately ordered everyone to follow.
Wang Cheng stood in place and was stunned, he always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't remember which place, the key place was still very important.
Shaking his head, he followed.
There was a mark in front of them, and the speed of the group increased considerably, and soon they walked a few miles inside.
"Wait!"
This time, it was Tang Cheng, who was responsible for cushioning everyone.
With a torch in his hand, he quickly came to Wang Cheng and the others, and said solemnly: "My two brothers are lost!" ”
Several people's expressions changed in unison, they walked along the mark, how could anyone still lose it?
"When did you lose it? How did you lose it? Pan Meng asked.
Tang Cheng's handsome face showed a rare gloom, and said: "Those two brothers are two martial artists under me, and their strength is good, and I specially selected them to be responsible for the back. I also looked behind me just now and noticed that there were two less torches, and then I realized that something was wrong. ”
"What was the reaction of the man in front of them? Aren't the hands tied to the hands tied with ropes? Pan Meng asked again.
Tang Cheng said in a deep voice: "The rope is broken!" ”
Several people were shocked again.
It seemed that something had cut the rope in secret, and the two of them would not cut the rope themselves.
It's just that what makes people can't figure out is what is it that can quietly cut the rope and take away the two of them?
"Shall we continue then?" Huang Meiren asked the question that he was most concerned about.
Tang Cheng said: "I personally feel that we can't go any further!" The road may not be safe! ”
"What does the money shopkeeper think?" Pan Meng asked Qian Shan on the side at this time.
Qian Shan glanced at the compass in his hand and said, "The direction is fine." ”
Several people looked suspicious at the moment, one said not to go, and the other said that the direction was fine.
"Shall we go or not?" Huang Meiren touched the back of her head and said.
"Let's go!"
"Don't go!"
Wang Cheng and Baihu glanced at each other, and it was the two of them who spoke, but Wang Cheng agreed with Tang Cheng's point of view and couldn't go on.
"Can you tell me about it?" Pan Meng knows Wang Cheng's ability, he must have a reason.
Wang Cheng's next sentence almost stunned everyone.
"Does the mark have to be pointing right? What if the first half is right and the second half is wrong? ”
The hearts of the people were shocked.
Yes, the markers are made along the way, and the road is safe only if the person who made the marker comes back safely. If something happens to the marker suddenly, then the road is no longer safe, but the most dangerous!
"If the pointing is really fine, why didn't I find these markers before entering the forest? Instead, it only appeared after walking for a while? ”
Wang Cheng asked the most crucial question, which was also something he had never remembered before.
Everyone's expressions changed in unison.
It stands to reason that the mark should have been made at the starting point, but they walked five or six miles before they found the mark, what were they doing with Qinglong for such a long stretch?
Wang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Maybe Lord Qinglong, they got lost in the first place. ”
"You mean, they didn't have time to mark when they came, and they only had a chance to do it when they got here?" Pan Meng somewhat understood what Wang Cheng meant.
Wang Cheng nodded, a sad look on his face.
According to the fox's memory, there were also some powerful demon beasts living in the outer areas of the Misty Forest, and the Qinglong was probably chased and killed and fled all the way to the forest.
Suddenly, Wang Cheng shouted, "Not good! Watch out for the trees around you! ”
