458. Sweet

"These demons are afraid of fire, as long as they use flames to form a defensive circle, they can't invade quickly, and when they burn to a certain extent, they can be defeated."

Beiluoxi introduced.

"And the smoky flavor can be dispelled to a certain extent"

According to the map, they would have to walk forward for at least five days to reach the location of the fairy island where they had last seen the island in Beiluoxi.

"Last time?"

Hui Jiang was a little puzzled.

"That's right, Lord Hui, that fairy island is not fixed, but ethereal, sometimes it appears, sometimes it is hidden in the fog, it is difficult to fathom."

Beiluoxi replied.

"Then will we run in vain?"

Hui Jiang immediately asked.

"I have sent scouts to investigate in advance, and the fog ahead has dissipated, and I should be able to find the fairy island."

Beiluoxi reassures Huijiang.

Sitting in the back of the carriage loaded with supplies, Qiao Du stared at her phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone, it is the picture taken by the drone.

He saw that there was indeed a fog in front of him, and these white mist were not like ordinary mountain clouds, but more like some kind of liquid, sticking to the barren mountains and mountains, white and vast, everywhere, there was a disgusting feeling.

Qiao Du controls a drone to approach the white mist, and discovers that the white mist is not really a small suspended water droplet like a water mist, but a viscous and thin liquid.

These white mist are filled with a rich smell, not a stench, but a sweet, creamy scent, which makes it even more eerie.

At this moment, Qiao Dui's drone lost control.

As if it had been hit with an EMP, the drone fell to the ground and quickly lost contact.

"It looks like these white fogs have the ability to shield signals."

Qiao Du concluded.

He turned off his phone and looked ahead before the AI was about to sell him a new drone with anti-shielding.

At least they are on the right path, the further they go, the thicker the white fog becomes, I don't know what this white fog will become when they arrive at that Penglai Immortal Island.

A day later, the white fog had begun to appear on both sides of the road, and the sweet smell penetrated into the nostrils, giving people a feeling of sleepiness, as if they were in a honeypot, and it was easy to let down their guard.

"It's best not to touch those white mist, it's not dangerous, but no one knows what's in it."

Beiluo Creek reminded.

Qiao Du looked at one of the slightly larger white mist, in the semi-solid mist, there was the corpse of a hare, this hare did not know how long ago he strayed into it, as if it was captured by this white mist, its body did not decay and deteriorate, probably because bacteria and microorganisms were blocked by this white mist, but the hare's fur and flesh seemed to be gradually melting, swallowed by these white mist.

"If you enter rashly, you will be caught by it like this, and it will be difficult to struggle to escape, and finally become fodder."

Bei Luoxi noticed the gaze of the medicine envoys and said.

"Feed."

General Nanzhou's gaze stayed on the devoured hare, as if he was imagining what would happen if he was swallowed by this white mist.

"However, the mist can be dispelled by the flames, and as long as it is not caught alone, it can be escaped with the help of others."

North Luoxi let them not worry too much.

At this time, Kiriyama found that there was a white mist not far from the roadside, and a demon was imprisoned in it, and the demon naturally could not escape the erosion of the white fog, and was digested and absorbed in it.

Qiao Twilight curiously stretched out her hand towards the white mist-stained trees beside the road and dug a small piece.

The white mist was like ice cream, slimy and cold, and Qiao Du put it in front of her nose and sniffed it carefully.

It's like creamy ice cream, with a sweet smell.

Twilight put it in her mouth.

"Phew!"

He immediately threw up.

Different from the sweetness of the smell, this white mist brought a hot and spicy sensation as soon as it touched the tip of the tongue, just like drinking concentrated sulfuric acid with chili peppers, Qiao Du didn't even taste what it tasted like, and her body had already reacted first.

Qiao Du carefully felt the dense fog remaining in his mouth, and he realized that this mist was not an ordinary gas or liquid, but a fine and dense microorganism.

Like a behemoth made up of countless small insects, the white mist is a colony of hundreds of billions of microorganisms.

These microorganisms have flagella and wandering legs, sharp mouthparts, and although they are small, they gather and decay, like the danger of termites devouring human flesh in roadside wildside magazines that Qiao Twilight read when she was a child.

In fact, the sweet smell itself is part of the white mist, which is the olfactory sensation caused by microorganisms floating in mid-air burrowing into the nasal cavity.

If you inhale too much of this smell, these microorganisms will gradually accumulate in the human body, and eventually erode the internal organs and devour the flesh.

"These smells are also white mist."

Qiao Du briefly talked about her discovery.

Those soldiers were a little frightened, if they wanted to inhale, they didn't know how long they had been inhaling, and now they couldn't find out how much white mist remained in their bodies, and if they continued to move forward, there was more white mist, which really made people tremble.

"Start a fire, burn it all."

Beiluoxi immediately made a decision and asked the light cavalry outside to light the torches, and the blazing flames only slightly approached the white mist, causing the viscous mist to dissipate like a lit spider web, and the sweet smell disappeared immediately.

"Don't worry too much, we've been in and out of this fog many times, and it's fine now, which means that normal breathing won't lead to too serious consequences."

He reassured again.

I don't know if it's any psychological effect, but someone in the team coughed.

"Probably smoky."

Qiao Du felt that the microorganisms that were inhaled by him were quickly defeated by Qiao Du in his body, but there were no sequelae.

Fortunately, there are forests in the vicinity, wood is inexhaustible, and there are no girls who protect the environment to condemn them in this era, so everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and those white mist are quickly dispersed.

"Maybe it's these white mist that affect the demons and make them dare not approach."

Joe Twilight pondered.

If the demon breaks into the mist, not only will it not be able to continue to reproduce, but it will also be swallowed by the slimy mist, which will be a big loss.

Deeper into the forest, the fog had become everywhere, and the air was filled with a thick sweet smell, and even the chirping of insects could no longer be heard.

If an animal strays into it, it will only be eroded by the white mist before you know it, and eventually it will be captured and become food for those microorganisms.

However, humans know how to use fire, which dispels the fog and burns the vegetation that blocks the road, allowing the team to drive straight in.

Five days later, according to Beiluoxi, it was very close to the location of Naxian Island.

The fog around is getting thicker and thicker, and sometimes it takes a while to burn before you can continue.

"Here we are."

Finally, in the evening of this day, when the sun was about to set, Beiluoxi stopped.

The crowd looked ahead.
