The vast wilderness, under the cold winter sun, still seems extremely silent.

After the desertification, the one-eyed sandman Shaliman, because of his speed, greatly reduced the time it took for everyone, so he finally made everyone arrive in the area where the Gray might appear two days early.

It used to be an environment where the grass was bleak and the frozen stream could occasionally be seen, but after the one-eyed sandman Shariman crossed the two barren mountains, the landscape turned into frozen ground in vain.

The seemingly grey and hoarfrost-covered expanse of the earth made the vegetation more and more difficult to see, and to Raymond's surprise, he could no longer detect the presence of small creatures once he entered the tundra.

Even insects and fungi that should be common underground are all hibernating, and it is very difficult to spot.

At the request of Samario, the one-eyed sandman Shaliman, who lifted the desertification, is only curious about this environment, although the water energy in the tundra zone is also rich, but the heavy earth energy is more and more rich here, and even the earthy atmosphere in the environment can be contaminated on the clothes and will last for a long time.

It's just that although everyone landed, they didn't go on foot at Samario's request.

He had been in the far west many times, so Samario took the lead and was responsible for leading the way and exploring

However, under the requirement of complete restraint, everyone can only observe the environment with the naked eye, which is inefficient, not to mention, and at night they must camp and rest, making the itinerary extremely boring and boring.

On the first night of entering the tundra. After sitting in front of the campfire and enjoying the special food made by the one-eyed sandman Shaliman, Samario actually sighed. "The last time the old man tried to speed up, he ended up confronting the Gray several times. After returning, he was not sure when he fell under their curse, and he was in a state of decadence and depression for a long time......"

"I've heard you say before that the Grey Clan are creatures formed by the gathering of certain emotions, they can be as small as dust or as huge as mountains, so how do these creatures affect you?"

"The first encounter was because the old man was speeding in the air, and the sudden cloud of wind and sand made the old man realize that something was wrong and landed. Later, it became known that the Greys were not allowed to occupy the skies within their territory......

And the second encounter is the huge mountain that the old man collapsed in vain when he was about to arrive in the deep prison. It was actually a certain gathering point of them, and its number could not be distinguished, so the old man didn't even know what they were at first......

At this point, Samario frowned. He thought for a moment before continuing. "After that, because of the refusal of the Lord of the Abyss. The old man understood some of the characteristics of the Gray Clan, but he changed the direction and wanted to return, but he fell into a strange sandstorm again, and after getting rid of it, he realized that it was a natural phenomenon formed by the Gray Clan......"

Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but wonder. "What do you mean?"

"There is almost no difference between that sandstorm and a naturally formed sandstorm, but after the old man came out, he found that the main body of the sandstorm was all as small as dust, and its number was unimaginable!"

The deep darkness of the moonless. Senmario's expression became more and more gloomy as the campfire lit up at this time, and he continued after a long silence. "Raymond. If you notice that your mood has suddenly become a little depressed, then you have already suffered from the influence of the Gray Clan, although their effect is very small, but it will have a considerable impact on the construction of spells and the judgment of strain, so don't ......be careless before crossing the tundra."

Samario, who seemed to have palpitations about the previous encounter, once again elaborated on the characteristics and expressions of the Gray Clan, but the worry in his expression became more and more intense, and finally looked at the dark distance in a daze after the end, and he actually maintained this posture all night, which made Raymond, who woke up from a night of meditation, couldn't help but be extremely confused.

The strength should have reached the peak of the seventh order, whether it was from his race or the long years he had passed, Raymond felt that he should not have become like this because of these 'gray clans'.

So shortly after hitting the road the next day, he found an opportunity to send a message to Clement, the ringed seal, asking why.

Along the way, Clement, who only talked about his research and insights, was secretive about Raymond's inquiries and did not give him any information to analyze.

But three days after entering the tundra, Clement, the ringed seal, became nervous and stern.

Although the scars on the corners of his mouth kept his expression smiling, Raymond saw fear in his eyes, and a fear similar to that of Samario.

Raymond, who wasn't too worried before, couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

As the crowd continues to deepen, the gradual change of the tundra landscape also makes the atmosphere of the whole team become solemn.

However, Shaliman, the one-eyed sandman who had always been in a state of excitement and curiosity, was the first to notice that something was wrong on the sixth day when the team entered the tundra.

It seems that he has entered a huge permafrost lake, and the rich water energy in the environment makes the one-eyed sandman Shariman walking on the ice very dissatisfied, but after everyone came to an area covered in ice and snow, the one-eyed sandman Shariman stopped in vain and issued a warning. "My lord, there seems to be something gathering under the ice on both sides!"

After entering the tundra, everyone was silent, so Raymond, who had received a warning from Shaliman, released his senses and began to probe under the ice on his side.

Beneath the 100-meter-thick ice layer is an extremely cold lake, which is still mixed with many ice crystal particles, which greatly hinders perception, and barely allows Raymond to detect a range of hundreds of meters.

There are no aquatic plants, and there are no biological beings, but the ice lake under Raymond's perception is mixed with many plankton-like particles in the ice water on both sides of the team!

These dust-like particles are extremely small, but after the area they occupy is revealed due to the sheer number of them, Raymond also understands that something is wrong.

After telling Senmario about the situation detected by his senses, Senmario, who had a nervous expression, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Looks like the Greys have noticed, hurry up and get out of this area......"

Samario, who increased his speed as he spoke, asked Raymond not to release his senses to investigate, and began to gallop with Clement, the ringed seal.

The rapid movement of several hourglasses in a row caused everyone to leave the frozen lake before nightfall, but Sammario did not immediately ask to set up camp for rest, but continued to move forward at a high speed for an hourglass, and then chose a sheltered place and stopped.

It's just that the one-eyed sandman Shariman wants to light a bonfire as usual, but he is opposed.

"Don't set up camp, don't make a fire, don't release your senses to investigate! Leave this place as soon as it's dawn!"

The low and special command made the one-eyed sandman Shariman very puzzled and set his eyes on Raymond.

Raymond, who always felt that there was a problem along the way, finally couldn't help but ask. "Samario, what you told about the Greys is completely inconsistent with your current reaction! Although the Greys are strange and indestructible, they shouldn't be such a threat to you! What is it that makes you so jealous of the Greys?"

The questioned Samario was quite annoyed, glaring at Raymond as if he was about to explode.

But Clement, the ringed seal, who was leaning on a rock, spoke in vain with his eyes closed. "Lord Raymond, don't ask any more questions...... Knowing nothing, sometimes happier than knowing the truth......" (To be continued......
