Chapter 168: Strange White Mist

I was so shocked that I almost screamed and hurriedly stepped back!

Hu Erye realized that I had woken up, raised a finger, 'shh

I was frightened, and I just wanted to call out to Team Zhao for them, but I found that their shirts were all unbuttoned, and so was Hu Erye's.

Team Zhao didn't speak, and gestured to me, which seemed to mean that I should also unbutton my clothes.

I didn't quite understand it yet, but suddenly, a white mist drifted over my head, and my breathing immediately began to become difficult, and that's when I understood what they meant.

But it was already late, and I felt that it was dark in front of me, and my whole body suddenly lost my strength, and my entire airway seemed to be blocked by something, which was very uncomfortable.

Just when I felt that I was about to die, suddenly, as soon as my chest was loosened, immediately, the lobes of my lungs were filled with air, and when I opened my eyes again, I found that Hu Erye had unbuttoned my clothes.

Thinking about it afterwards, I still felt quite embarrassed, I thought that people were playing hooligans, but I didn't expect to save our lives.

Xiaoya and I are both people who have stayed abroad, and we are very straightforward in doing things.

told everyone what he thought at the time, and apologized to Hu Erye.

Hu Erye laughed and thought we were weird and interesting.

Later, I asked him what was the white mist?

Hu Erye told us that that thing is not a white mist, I don't know what it is, but there is one thing, that thing can kill people, when Hu Erye got lost, he almost let this thing die.

This thing is not poisonous smoke, nor is it poisonous fog, I can't tell what it is.

The local old man said that when this white fog appears, you must not make a sound, otherwise you will be harmed by something terrible!

Hu Erye believed in this set very much, so he kept silent.

As for unbuttoning his clothes, he inadvertently discovered it when he was young.

At that time, Hu Erye was young, and after he got lost, he hadn't drunk water for two days, and his whole body was tired and hot.

At the same time as seeing the white mist drifting over, Hu Erye happened to take off his clothes to cool off.

He knew that he couldn't make a sound when he saw this thing, but then he found that he couldn't breathe, so he tried to breathe, but to no avail.

In that brief moment, he took off his shirt indiscriminately, thinking that he was dead, but it didn't take long for Hu Erye to come back to life after lying on the ground.

Despite sucking in the white mist, nothing happened.

No one can say the reason for this strange phenomenon, in short, Hu Erye's trick can be regarded as saving everyone's lives.

Xiaoya was confused, and she didn't know that these things had happened.

Later, when the white fog was gone, as soon as Hu Erye talked to her, she knew what was going on, thanked Hu Erye vigorously, and always habitually spoke some foreign languages.

Hu Erye didn't understand it very well, but looking at Xiaoya's behavior, he could guess that eight or nine were not far from ten.

At this time, it was close to dawn.

Hu Erye proposed to let everyone eat something, and then set off, trying to reach Elephant Trunk Mountain before dark today.

We have no doubts now, and we are all at his disposal.

Pack your bags and move on.

Along the way, we walked for a while and rested for a while.

The further you go, the harder it becomes, and almost every quarter of an hour you have to stop for a break.

Hu Erye opened the way with a machete in front, Team Zhao and two men in good health, Xiaoya and me, and some people who were not very good in the middle.

After walking for more than an hour, Hu Erye suddenly stopped.

We didn't know what was going on, but when we looked around, it turned out to be the two people who passed with Team Xie, who should have died, and they had a lot of irregular scars on their bodies, and we don't know how they were caused.

Team Zhao frowned and didn't say anything, but I could see that he should be holding back his anger.

Hu Erye turned over the bodies of the two people and looked at them, saying that they were suffocated to death.

We subconsciously thought of the white fog from last night.

It is estimated that these two people died because of those white fogs.

But where did Team Xie go?

Is it really like everyone said, he wants to get rid of everyone and hunt for treasure alone?

At this time, I suddenly became a little scared, we are all familiar with Team Xie, I never thought he was such a person before, but seeing the two corpses in front of me, I gradually began to believe that what it means to die for money.

I suddenly had the intention of retreating at that time, but Team Zhao had said in advance that if I wanted to follow, I would follow to the end, so I had to go with everyone.

Most of us are Western-educated international students, and we should be regarded as precedents for such things in our own country.

It's just that the adventure stories I heard before were too beautiful, and now that I see the dead, I suddenly feel an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.

I remember when I used to take medical classes, I also learned about anatomy, and I even saw specimens with my own eyes, and I didn't think anything about it at the time.

But when I saw those two living corpses, my brain, as if it was out of control, was always thinking about something related to death.

We all know that this kind of place must not stay for a long time, and every minute of delay will increase the danger for one minute.

So the bodies of those two companions ......

I had no choice but to put it there.

Hu Erye said that it won't be long before the corpses of the meat-eating things in the forest will be found, and at that time, those of us who are alive will be in danger.

We bowed to the two bodies a few times and left silently.

At that moment, I suddenly felt that human nature was so fragile in the face of survival.

Maybe it's because I haven't experienced much life and death, so I can't adapt to it all of a sudden.

Hu Erye has lived for decades and experienced a lot, and he is very open to this kind of thing.

He told us that the person who died in front of him was something that we young people could not imagine, and that we would naturally get used to it when we saw more things like life and death.

He said a very inappropriate analogy, saying that the death of a man is the same as the death of a hound.

It sounds awkward, but I can still understand what he is trying to say, his heart is already calm, and whether a man dies or his hound, it will not cause a stir in his heart.

Perhaps only those who have experienced life and death can have this state of mind.

When we started to leave, we thought that his speech was very annoying, but then we gradually got used to it, in fact, Hu Erye said this to divert our attention to other places.

In that case, anger and disgust can generate strength, while sadness can bring negative emotions to people, and physically, it will have a great impact on us.

So later, we got used to listening to him, and if he stopped talking, I felt that my whole body was weak.

By the time we arrived at Elephant Trunk Hill, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

It was three hours later than we had planned.

At this time, there is no one who does not thank Hu Erye, if he hadn't made everyone anxious, we might have arrived here in the middle of the night.

After some discussion, everyone decided to spend the night here, rest for the night, and then go to find the treasure of the Tarot King, as well as the captain Xie Baoshu.

We lit a fire around the makeshift camp, and as soon as we had eaten a few bites, we noticed a figure standing not far in front of us, fluttering and flickering, as if waving to us.

Could it be Team Xie?
