There was silence all around, and the raging wind had long since stopped. On the endless snowfield, with the help of the faint starlight, everyone saw a gray-black mist sweeping over the sky and covering the earth, and even the brilliant aurora in the sky disappeared.
The gray fog moved forward firmly, and everything it passed was submerged in it.
"Pack your things and run." This was Wu Gen's first reaction.
The gray mist looks bad, especially in this extremely dark night where no sun can be seen. Who knows what is hidden in it.
After hurriedly packing up everything, the group pulled the dragon horse and ran towards the direction away from the gray fog.
The gray mist moved faster, silently approaching everyone, like a gray wall spanning the sky and the earth, crushing them mercilessly. Everyone was running as hard as they could, and even the dragon horse sensed the danger behind them. Without scolding them, they automatically ran in the direction where they could best escape the gray fog.
Suddenly, Wu Gen stopped, and gray fog appeared in front of him, blocking everyone's escape route.
"What should I do, Wu Gen?" Baoxiang cried and asked loudly,
"Everyone gathers together, even if they die, they will die together." Wu Gen said loudly, reaching out to grab a horse that was running wildly. Under Wu Gen's call, everyone held hands and leaned together, watching the gray fog approaching step by step, engulfing everyone bit by bit.
There was silence all around, so quiet that even breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly. This was a dead world. The mist caressed everyone's bodies, slid across their cheeks, and gradually penetrated into their bodies.
Sometimes, absolute silence can kill anything alive. A dragon horse finally couldn't bear the silence and ran towards the gray mist with a neigh. It kicked the ground with all its four hooves, trying to drive away fear with the sound.
Listening to the thunderous sound of horse hooves fading away, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, and the surroundings returned to silence, as if nothing just happened.
Gudong, Wu Gen swallowed his saliva and was about to greet everyone. Suddenly, the feet lit up, various colors of light emerged from the ground, and colorful ripples appeared in the gray mist, like a big net, covering everyone in it. The space seemed to melt, and a huge hole appeared under the feet, swallowing everyone mercilessly.
This is where Wu Gen woke up from dizziness. The surrounding area was gray, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, which would reach up to the knees if one stepped on it. After touching his side, Wu Gen quickly shouted the names of the others. Fortunately, everyone is here.
The surroundings were dark, shadowy, and confusing. Everyone gathered together nervously. Although they didn't say a word, the anxiety between their brows and eyes could not be concealed at all.
"What the hell is this place? Could it be that we are already dead?" Ye Ziming looked frustrated and put his fingers into his mouth and took a hard bite.
"It hurts, it hurts." Ye Ziming jumped to his feet and shouted in pain. Such a fuss, but it dispersed some of the tense atmosphere.
"Everyone try to get together as much as possible, pull the horses around you, and don't get lost. Let's keep moving forward, no matter where we go, we will always get out if we move forward." At this point, Wu Gen can only encourage everyone, To avoid losing all morale.
The group of people also collected their thoughts and moved forward. While walking, Qiao Ban suddenly screamed. Turning around, he saw the remains of a human being knocked to the ground, with dust flying in the air.
The surface of the corpse was covered with a layer of black ash, its mouth was wide open, and its face was ferocious. Everyone gathered around and looked at the corpse that had been broken into several pieces on the ground, their faces all a little ugly. ap.
In the gray fog, there was a rustling sound, and something was approaching in the dark. Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw that the sound disappeared immediately. But as soon as he turned around, the voice sounded again.
The heart is in the throat, this invisible thing is the most terrifying.
"Let's go." Wu Gen shouted, leading everyone forward quickly. No matter what lies ahead, if you stay where you are, you can only wait to die and turn into the same corpse-like existence just now.
The group of people formed a circular formation, protected the dragon horses and carriages, and groped forward step by step. The road was rugged and difficult, and various strange-shaped obstacles appeared from time to time on the ground in the gray fog. If you look closely, some resemble people, some look like dogs, and some look like birds, all covered with a layer of gray.
The black hard shell is like a sculpture.
The rustling sound became louder, and suddenly a hand appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Wu Gen. Without hesitation, he slashed down with his sword, and the gray mist stirred up, followed by a high-pitched howling sound, as if a rooster had been strangled by its neck.
More footsteps came from all directions, and a human-like head appeared in front of everyone. There are stone protrusions on the head, as if there is a layer of barnacle shells attached to the rocks in the sea, making people look upset and wishing to cut them clean with a knife.
The water fell from the Euphorbia halberd, and the head was broken into several pieces, with a few drops of brown blood flowing out. "Hit them when you see them. These ghosts move slowly. Move faster and don't get blocked by them." Wu Gen briefly estimated the strength of this strange thing and found that it was not very strong.
Bang, Feng'er fired a fireball and flew forward. The fireball flew past, breaking through the layers of gray fog and illuminating the scene ahead.
Wu Gen's pupils gradually grew larger. In the gray fog in front of him, there were no less than a hundred monsters of various shapes standing. Some were dragging their legs forward slowly, and some were struggling to climb on the ground, and they were all firmly moving towards the direction of Wu Gen and others to surround them.
Wu Gen's scalp went numb when he thought of such existences in the gray mist behind him. I don't know how many such monsters are hidden in the gray mist. If we fight them one by one, even if the opponent stands still, the group will be exhausted to death.
Reaching out to take down the Sky-shattering Bow, Wu Gen looked back at his teammates behind him, "I will shoot an arrow to create a passage, and everyone will move forward along the passage. Don't be reluctant to fight, don't fall behind, and don't be soft-hearted."
He stretched out his hand and pulled open the Sky-shattering Bow. An arrow that was much thicker than before appeared on the bow. The light arrow tore through the thick fog and shot out a straight passage. Wherever they went, these monsters had their heads and legs broken. Even so, the mutilated monster was still crawling on the ground.
"Let's go." Shui Congyue shouted and took the lead in walking along the passage opened by Wu Gen. Wherever he went, the remaining monsters were knocked away by him. It was time to fight, and the others were also protecting the dragon horse, following the water and rushing forward from the moon, killing monsters that appeared from the side from time to time.
Soon, the path through which the arrow was shot was covered by gray fog again, and Wu Gen shot a second arrow, and a third arrow...
After more than thirty arrows were fired, Wu Gen's face turned pale. Using the Sky-shattering Bow so quickly took a huge toll on himself. "You rest, I'll come." Qi He quickly stepped in and took over from Wu Gen.
In this way, after changing five people in a row, the throats of the two dragon horses in the team were bitten off by several monsters that fell from the sky. The gray fog in front gradually faded.
The group of people suddenly became energetic. As long as there are changes, there is hope. Suddenly, the screams of the bridge crew came from behind.
Wu Gen looked back and saw that the bridge team member had just tried to pick up a monster limb on the ground. When he bowed his head, one of his feet was unexpectedly grabbed by the monster and dragged into the thick fog. Even the snake eagle in his hand was snatched away by the opponent. go.
In desperation, the bridge attendant flew out seven or eight birds from his hands, chirping around the monster. "Come on." Qiao Ban was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The birds that had transformed into spiritual powers timidly landed on the monster, chirping and pecking at the monster's body. However, they were all slapped away one by one by the monster's palm.
Baoxiang on the side raised the ax in his hand and smashed it at the monster grabbing Qiao Ban. It's a pity that Baoxiang just went to draw the Sky-shattering Bow when he was physically tired. After the monster was hit, it just tilted its head, but didn't care, and continued to drag the bridgeman into the fog with all its strength.
Liu You and Ning Liancha quickly stepped forward to hold the bridge team, and soon three or four more humanoid monsters with twisted limbs rushed out.
"Yang Zheng." Wu Gen was so anxious when he saw this, he stretched out his hand and threw the Xuanjian Sword. Yang Zheng took the sword in his hand and, together with Liu You and Ning Liancha, drove away several new monsters that appeared.
Seeing the dense hands in the gray mist, Yang Zheng also broke out in a cold sweat. He threw out his belt, wrapped it around the waist of the bridge attendant, and dragged the man and the monster away.
"Let's go, don't be reluctant to fight." Wu Gen shouted, and the group of people urged the horses to move forward quickly. Finally, with a cheer, the group of people rushed out of the gray fog. Turning around to look again, those monsters were hiding in the fog, looking silently into the distance, but they refused to take a step.
After the thick fog emerged, the monster holding the bridge team gradually changed. The originally stony body gradually became
It gradually softened and turned into a body of flesh and blood. It twitched a few times and then stopped moving. If you look carefully, you can vaguely identify him as a young man, but his appearance is very strange.
Wu Gen stepped forward and gently used his knife to separate Qiao Ban from the young man.
The group of people sat on the ground and gasped for air. When they calmed down, they took stock of the losses during the trip. They lost a total of three dragon horses. Baoxiang, Qiaoban and others suffered some minor injuries. Fortunately, the main food and carriage were not lost.
Qiao Ban was a little frightened and murmured to himself while holding Wu Gen's snake eagle, vowing to practice hard in the future and not daring to slack off any more.
Liu You stared at the back of his hand with an ugly expression. He had just been accidentally scratched by a monster. At this time, wisps of gray gas were coming out of the wound. "Wu Gen, I don't think we can stay in the fog for too long." Otherwise, I'm afraid it will turn into a monster. Maybe the monster just now was originally a living ***, but it was contaminated by too much mist and became like this."
After hearing this, Wu Gen looked for a few injured people to check, and sure enough, they all appeared in this situation. It seems that as long as possible, we should not enter the gray fog again.
"Where's Cong Yue?" Wu Gen asked.
"I saw him going forward alone." Baoxiang pointed to the distance.
Wu Gen got up and walked in the direction pointed by Baoxiang. In less than one stick of incense, he saw Shui Congyue looking into the distance.
"Are you okay?" Wu Gen walked to Shui Congyue and asked in a low voice. Along the way just now, Shui Congyue took the lead and opened a passage for everyone. Among these people, he was actually the most tired.
"It doesn't matter, it won't be easy ahead." Shui Congyue frowned and looked at the red patch in the distance.
Wu Gen followed his gaze and saw a red lake in the distance. Only then did I realize that there was gray fog everywhere in the sky and the earth. Only in the direction of the Red Lake, the gray fog was far away, and the vision was much wider.
"It seems they are forcing us to enter the lake." Wu Gen sighed softly and looked back. "Anyway, let's go and see if we can find a way to cross the lake."
The two of them walked towards the red lake in the distance. The further they walked, the stronger the smell of blood became, and the irritability kept rising in their hearts. The murderous intent in the lake was so strong, even though it was so far away, it still affected his mind.
Could it be possible... Wu Gen and Shui Congyue looked at each other, and both of them quickened their pace. Although the murderous intention is getting stronger, both of them are firm-minded people, and they are not afraid of being confused by it.
When he walked to the lake, Wu Gen sighed. The huge lake was filled with blood. The lake water surged with rolling waves, constantly lapping at the rocks on the shore. The fishy wind sent blood foam, causing Wu Gen's eyes to be covered with a layer of red. After silently adjusting his breath for a long time, the redness in his eyes faded away.
This lake is not good.
