Chapter 085: Miasma Forest
Tomorrow and Ningchen take turns keeping vigil. Let everyone rest in the cave. It was also a peaceful night.
The trees in the mountains shade the sky. Blocking out the sunlight that should be pouring down. In addition, I was very tired from the hurried road for several days. So when the people woke up. The hour has long passed. It's getting close.
Everyone is ready. Then out of the cave. I saw that Ning Chen was still leaning on the stone next to the cave entrance dutifully. His eyes were staring around. Just in case.
"The landlord. "I saw Qingchen and the others coming out. Ning Chen jumped down from the stone. Fall in front of Qingchen. Salute.
"It's not too early. We hurried early. Divide the dry food. Everyone ate as they walked. Qingchen said. Then he and Mingyue and Huai Jin took the lead and walked away. The men behind him followed.
Luo Jin and Zhao Ruofei followed behind Qingchen. The two of them talked with each other.
"I'm going to eat more. Otherwise, you will faint from hunger in the miasma forest. That's more than worth the loss. Zhao Ruofei ate dry food. So said. There was banter in his voice. It doesn't seem to be taking the next thing to heart.
"It's so easy to faint from hunger. Luo Jin smiled.
"How do you know it won't. And also. In a moment, I would have fainted in the miasma forest. You've got to hold on to me. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. Zhao Ruofei spoke again. "Even if it's death. You're going to take me out of the woods and let me die. Otherwise, I'll be lying in a miasma. That's uncomfortable. ”
"You're not going to die. Luo Jin said softly. Then he stretched out his hand and wrapped his hand around Zhao Ruofei's shoulder. The tone is firm.
Qingchen walks ahead. Quietly listen to the conversation between the two behind him. The corners of his mouth hooked up a vague smile. Of course, she wouldn't let Zhao Ruofei die like this. It was only with great difficulty that she was pulled back from the ghost gate. How could she be so easily allowed to have an accident.
Because of this. So Qingchen was here when he came. Be well prepared. It's just some of the basic medicines that Huai Jin wants to use. She also ordered a large box to be prepared. Just in case you need it.
Along the way, only the voices of Zhao Ruofei and Luo Jin talking to each other were heard. No one said much. After all, this is going to the Holy Land. The danger is unpredictable. And Zhao Ruofei doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes. Martial arts are not good either. It's not impossible to happen just in case. No one wants it to happen. And regret this time. Didn't let her say a few more words.
In fact. Zhao Ruofei was nervous. That's why she uses this way to relieve her tension. That's the only way to go. She will be able to face the coming difficulties more calmly.
The group did not stop. Under the guidance of the map and Yu Tianqi's reminders from time to time. They soon reached a place close to the top of the mountain. The summit has not yet been reached. There is a forest that is thicker than halfway up the mountain. The trees are towering to the sky. Walk in the woods. The sky can only be seen occasionally through the gaps between the leaves.
Quiet all around. It's also dim. If it weren't for the eyesight of a few people. I'm afraid it's hard to walk. But even so. There are still some voices coming out from time to time. Or a long horizontal branch cutting through clothes. It is also possible that grass thorns that grow in dark places pierce the skin.
But everyone didn't stop because of these little things. Because they've all known about it before. The best time to enter the miasma forest is between noon and mid-afternoon. Because the sun is strongest during that time. The light is relatively good. When it's not too cold. The miasma will also be relatively weak.
"Not long ahead. It's the Miasma Forest. The trees there are a little thicker than here. The surroundings are also more unclear. Yu Tianqi reminded him. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. All of a sudden, they were all engrossed. Tensed the body. Keep an eye out for what's going on around you.
It didn't last long. The road visible around is getting hazy and hazy. The air is getting darker and darker. It's even more invisible.
"This is it. Qingchen stopped. Tomorrow and Tomorrow naturally stand by her side. Guarding as a protector. Just in case something unexpected happens.
Qingchen's expression remained unchanged. Squinting and looking around. A white mist fills the air. The forest is overwhelming. Rao is that she has enough internal strength. It is also impossible to see anything three meters away. So I had to stop. Because this is already the closest thing they are to the miasma forest, but it is also the safest place.
"It's there. So we ...... Isn't it time to go in. Zhao Ruofei saw that everyone stopped. Involuntarily grabbed Luo Jin's sleeve. Turning his head and asking.
"Don't be afraid. I will always be there for you. Luo Jin spoke softly. So said. Then he naturally took Zhao Ruofei's hand. Nodding at Qingchen. Head deep into the forest.
Qingchen looked at the backs of Luo Jin and Zhao Ruofei, and after seven steps, they disappeared into the boundless fog. Surrounded by clouds of white mist of unknown origin. Suddenly, there was a hint of nervousness in my heart.
She prides herself on being very smart. Even something as complicated as the human heart. You can see through it, too. Calculate human nature. But now. She couldn't even see through this white mist. What the hell is hidden. The unknown holy place. What kind of mystery is there?
"The landlord. They should have walked a hundred paces by now. I went in too. Be careful. Ning Chen waited for a while. I didn't see any movement behind the white mist. He said to Qingchen. Then he turned around and went into the miasma forest.
"Luo Jin. Where are you. ”
It didn't take long for Ning Chen to go in. Qingchen suddenly heard Zhao Ruofei's exclamation. Accompanied by her calling Luo Jin's name. Then it fell silent. Nothing can be heard.
"Have you heard anything? "Clear the dust and concentrate. I found that there was no sound in it. I thought I had heard it wrong. So he turned his head. Look at tomorrow and the moon. Asked.
The subordinates heard Miss Zhao calling Luo Gongzi's name. Ask him where he is. Seems to be in a hurry. Mingyue said. "Luo Gongzi and Miss Zhao went in together. Even if there is something. You shouldn't ask where Luo Gongzi is. Inside...... Something doesn't seem right. ”
"I heard it too. Tomorrow nodded. Agree with your sister.
"I'm doing a good job. It may occupy a certain advantage in this miasma forest. I'll go find Luo Gongzi and them. Look what's going on. Nightshade continued. Then after getting permission to clean the dust. And he also went into the forest.
"Young Master Yu. You'd better be with Nightfall. You're alone. I'm afraid I won't even know how to get out for a while. Zhao Yan looked at Yu Tianqi. So said.
Yu Tianqi did not object. Only behind Nightfall. Walked in.
Because it was already arranged a day in advance. So there was no argument or quarrel at the moment. All went according to the previous plan. Those who should go in go in. It's time to wait.
Qingchen and Mingyue sisters and brothers, as well as Huai Jin and Zhao Yan, were outside the miasma forest. Stand together. Guarding each other's surroundings. But his eyes remained motionless in the direction in which everyone entered. Even if you can't see anything clearly in front of you. But I still hope that I can pass through this misty white fog. I know what happened to those who went in.
The wait is always long. Look up occasionally. I want to see the time. But they found that the sun was blocked by trees that shaded the sky. I can't tell what time it is.
Until Huai Jin's legs were almost numb. With her medical attainments. Know how long it takes for an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts to stand. to paralyze the legs. Judged how long they had been waiting.
"They had been in for an hour. Why hasn't it come out yet. Huai Jin muttered in a low voice.
Qingchen had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Others, though, she can't guarantee them. But Luo Jin and Ning Chen are still very trustworthy. Even if Zhao Ruofei can't bear it. Luo Jin can also bring Zhao Ruofei out in the shortest possible time. But I didn't expect it...... So much time has passed now. Five people who went in. None of them came out.
"The landlord. Will. What happened. "Mingyue is a little impatient after all. Frowning. asked.
"Wait another half an hour. If they don't come out yet. It's time for us to go in. Qingchen groaned for a moment. So said. "We should have gone in together. If they have anything to ......"
She didn't finish her sentence. But everyone knew what she was going to say. I couldn't help but feel heavy in my heart.
If a few people go in. What's the matter with any of them. Qingchen will probably live in guilt for the rest of his life. Never able to break free.
"Rest assured, girl. They...... It should be fine. Zhao Yan's mood when he saw Qingchen had become longer with the time of waiting. and become more somber. I couldn't help but open my mouth to comfort.
Dust removal turns heads. looked at Zhao Yan. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Because she didn't see fear or nervousness on Zhao Yan's face. It was as if Zhao Yan was sure that they would be fine.
"You...... Is there something hiding from me? Qingchen's heart moved. Blurt out.
"No, I didn't. How dare the subordinates hide it from the girl. Zhao Yan denied it. Look at the dust. Speak again. "The subordinate is thinking. Whether it's Luo Gongzi or someone else. On the rivers and lakes, almost all of them are masters with one enemy and ten. But a miasma forest. There shouldn't be any problems. ”
Zhao Yan replied quickly. And for good reason. The man who picks the star. No matter who put it on the rivers and lakes. They are all characters in their own right. This is clear to the dust. And because of that. That's why she has self-confidence. Then let Ning Chen and a few of them go in.
But. Even so. Qingchen still felt that what Zhao Yan was thinking in his heart was not as simple as he said. She still felt that Zhao Yan knew something. And hide it from her.
"It's better to be like that. Qingchen's eyes were cold. "Zhao Yan. I know you've been with him since you were a child. He is his right-hand man. But now you're following me. If there's anything to hide from me. Or something else. It's bad for me or the people around me, or even for this project. Don't blame me for being unkind. ”
The sound of dust removal was soft. She didn't mean to blame Zhao Yan. It's just that she saw some familiarity from Zhao Yan's body. It's like that day in Nie Xinrou's mansion. Yat Shaw showed the same. A kind of worry. And a hint of concealment.
"Please rest assured, girl. The subordinates will definitely not do anything to be sorry for the girl. Zhao Yan also knew that Qingchen would not be joking. He replied solemnly.
