Long Qi and his party were like the tourists who came to watch the sunrise in the old days, half-conscious and half-conscious, climbing the mountain.
In the early morning, dark ink and dark blue are still the main colors in the mountains, but once you board the old Tianji Highway, you can see that the morning glow is like a line of fire burning at the boundary between the thick clouds and the sky. So much so that the mountains filling the sea of clouds are like randomly drawn wavy lines, becoming particularly abstract.
Whenever you are on a relatively high or large mountain and can encounter the sea of clouds without affecting the sunrise, it is considered a small blessing.
Especially on this ridge of sky with an altitude of 1,700 meters, when walking on the extremely thin and narrow section of the road, the clouds spread out from the two wings, and the old road under your feet is really like a ladder set up between the sea of clouds, leading directly to the divine court. Half-hidden, with no end in sight.
Such a stunning view, among the group of people, only a few were in the mood to appreciate it.
Long Qi felt that the wildly growing vegetation around him was more concrete and realistic - what made Long Qi feel was not their vigorous vitality, but the many traces of flames burning in the middle, as well as the distorted and deformed plants that appeared from time to time. The remains of ferocious birds and beasts.
"No wonder no freaks came down the mountain last night. They all died here."
Even though Zhao Xi was fully armed, he still had to mutter when he should. While he was talking, he also picked up half of the bird's leg from between the bushes that were almost two meters high. However, unexpectedly, a large semi-carbonized irregular structure was pulled out from behind.
"Hey!"
Zhao Xi reacted half exaggeratedly and half truthfully.
Just because this "alien" really challenges the normal aesthetics of human beings. It looks like a pile of chopped muscles, bones and blood.
The meat and other ingredients were burned with flames and then kneaded together.
Well, it's "kneading" - roughly speaking, it's like a freshly risen dough that was hastily kneaded by some naughty boy into a god-knows-what rough shape, and then lost interest and left it here.
What helped the half-section of the bird's leg to pull out the "abnormal" shape was a muscle that seemed to be severed but not severed. It even twitched in Zhao Xi's hand.
This twitching feeling has spread to the main body of the "alien" structure - under the cool mountain breeze, this foreign body made of flesh and blood feels like it is still expanding and contracting slightly, and there is a strange breathing rhythm.
Zhao Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw it back into the bushes and turned to ask Lao Yao: "Is this a specialty here?"
Lao Yao shook his head quickly.
"It feels a bit familiar," Frith said.
Long Qi reluctantly pulled himself together, trying hard to get rid of the negative effects of staying up all night and working part-time as a "reset button" and "card match", and went to see this piece of flesh and blood creation, but in addition to reaping the disgusting feeling of biological instinct, there was something in his mind. Still getting nothing from the random banging.
In comparison, the two extraordinary species who had also stayed up all night were too powerful.
Tiger gave an answer: "There is such a thing in the plateau wilderness, but there are still follow-up steps."
"Haha, I didn't come out as Jin Tong or Gong Qi." Mo La added, and also gave an example, "Nick who escaped from Harbin has almost the same virtue."
"Uh, BOSS's handiwork?"
Long Qi immediately thought of the blue electric fire that covered the three peaks more than an hour ago...
"So what exactly is this ability?"
"It is said to be a 'magnetizing' force
quantity. Mo La seemed to be in a good mood, and he was actually willing to answer such a secret, "It seems that he is using external things to exert his strength, not his own ability." You can ask your BOSS or Li Wei for details. "
"Forget it then."
Long Qi couldn't help but yawned again. With a similar answer, he would not delve into the ins and outs of such a terrifying and ugly thing.
He raised his head again and looked at the stopped wind blades on the distant ridge, assessing the distance: "I just want to know if the BOSS is really waiting down there."
"I just want to know if Tuge was here last night."
The tiger's gaze rested on a relatively obvious trace of the old road. Anyone with some basic common sense can tell that this is a rut, but common sense will never explain what kind of vehicle can run over the old mountain ridge road that is completely covered by vigorous vegetation and the roots of even more dangerous aberrant bacteria.
Long Qi naturally thought of the flying off-road vehicle he saw on the shuttle the day before yesterday that almost collided head-on with him.
Of course, this also includes the extraordinary person in the car:
3 of hearts, Tuger.
Extraordinary species are already beyond imagination, but this Tu Ge, who can make the tiger, perhaps also Mo La, and even Ronan take it seriously... must be more unique.
So Long Qi said with emotion: "As long as he is not here now, it will be fine."
"Well, not here." Mo La gave a very positive answer, and bought one get one free, "Luo Yuan also asked him to drive away."
Long Qi immediately showed his face: "Does that mean it's safe on this mountain peak now?"
"Aren't you Goddess Luo more dangerous than those two?
risk? "
"BOSS is still easy to talk to..."
Zhao Xi was unwilling to give up the opportunity to flatter him, but his words that sounded very smooth to him yesterday now made him feel weak as soon as he spoke them.
The "collective nightmare" incident that happened not long ago was really impactful. Moreover, Zhao Xi was very scientific and verified, and specifically sought out teammates who had returned early to make inquiries.
Then I learned that from last night to early this morning, there were more than 20 people in the former Deep Blue Cluster of about 30 people, and they fell into the nightmare of "endless battle".
Of course, the reason for such a high proportion is probably because they were already highly related to Ronan in the past two days, and most of them watched the relevant live broadcasts, so the stimulation they suffered was more direct.
But when I think about my own character cards and the new ways to die in the game, some ideas are still changing after all.
Fortunately, Mo La did not dwell on this topic. She focused more on the clouds on both sides of the sky ridge, especially the area in the north facing the main peak.
There is the main frame of the U-shaped mountain range. At this time, the central valley is completely covered by gray clouds. Even the morning light in the sky has not stained the color for the time being...or it has already stained, but there are a lot of new gray clouds. The gas surges up, mixing and diluting it.
After following Mo La for a long time, many people are also murmuring in their hearts.
"This area in the middle seems to be still leaking."
What Zhao Xi was talking about was the last card game before setting off after receiving Ronan's instructions.
At that time, it was already more than half an hour after the blue electric fire covered the three spires. It was affected by the vision, and of course the "collective nightmare" news.
The impact of the news made the participants in the card game a little absent-minded, and everyone was beaten to a pulp. It's just that the "basic environment" itself that hosts the game is still following the established logic. Every time it is restarted, the real-time situation of the area involved will be refreshed.
So, everyone saw it at that time. On the side of the three spires, in addition to the diffuse blue electric fire, there was also a rich gray-white light gas, spurting out from the valley surrounded by U-shaped mountains. However, no conclusive evidence could be found. "spout".
Soon, the card game was suspended after Ronan's updated instructions, and the group was "ordered" to meet under the Tianji wind turbine. The "basic environment" fixed on the desktop cannot be taken away, but the scene of blue and gray on the three spires, electric fire and light gas intertwined, is still engraved in everyone's heart.
After all, in today's world, the color "grey" is not pleasing to the eye.
"Isn't it that 'grey matter' pollution?"
Zhao Xi finally couldn't help but ask. It was rare that he could endure it for so long.
It's no wonder that Zhao Xi would think of this. After all, he was performing his mission in Huaicheng properly, and why he appeared here inexplicably. Wasn't it because he was dealing with "gray matter" pollution under the leadership of Ronan?
Mo La smiled and turned to ask Tiger: "Aren't you someone's operator? Can you provide some professional advice?"
The tiger ignored her and turned to ask Zhao Xi: "I just learned how to apply developer the day before yesterday, but have you forgotten it today?"
"Ah? Ah!"
Zhao Xi also didn't sleep much last night and was confused for a while. After Tiger reminded him, he quickly remembered:
"Eye of Knowledge!"
The day before yesterday, at the underground cave engineering camp, before the Deep Blue Group set off, Ronan specially taught them a method called "Eye of Knowledge".
"The unique configuration of ". It enables them to project the domain rules of "formatted space" over long distances, throughout the material level, the spiritual ocean and even the abyss, spraying "developer" on "foreign matter" including "grey matter" , transforming the intangible existence into tangible reality.
Zhao Xi shouldn't forget this new skill he just learned.
But along the way, the various operations of the Deep Blue Cluster were too passive, and they were also deeply coupled with the "Blood Ring Fortress", so that Zhao Xi completely regarded himself as a tool man, and only regarded himself as a movable one with the relevant configuration. carrier.
But has he really forgotten?
of course not.
In fact, Zhao Xi had seen his character card more than once in the card games from last night to early morning... Of course, it also included Frith, Liu Fengming and other comrades in the Deep Blue Cluster. Character cards, in this chaotic, dangerous and high-end battle situation, either alone or together, used various application techniques from the Eye of Configuration to the Blood Ring Fortress, achieving the advanced effect of "integrating observation and attack" .
At that time, Zhao Xi could be said to be dazzled, but he was just watching! Although I watched it very carefully, I felt dizzy and upset.
But if you really want to apply a little bit of selling experience to the practical level, if there is no one to guide you...
"Holy shit?"
During this period of hesitation in Zhao Xi's heart, another part of his mind naturally continued the memories in his heart, that is, the experience of learning and passive application the day before yesterday, driving the fire of format and drawing lines in the void.
Soon, the most basic arc-shaped basic structures of the Eye of Knowledge were revealed, and Zhao Xi put them together with almost zero difficulty.
Connect it into a simple three-dimensional ball.
If we proceed mechanically according to what we learned the day before yesterday, similar configurations of other people should be superimposed by now, eventually forming a complex collective structure with formatted space as the carrier.
However, at this time, Zhao Xi, through his observations in those few card games, had in mind dozens or hundreds of times that "I" and other comrades had to resort to simplified methods to make luck in high-risk battle situations.
So it was almost a matter of course that his thoughts continued to drive the fire of the format, completing a cycle transition stiffly but accurately. The second round of construction began without affecting the results of the previous wave of construction.
This time, he completed the splicing of the basic configuration faster and successfully superimposed it on the first wave of configuration.
A little misaligned, but that's okay.
Soon it will be round three.
This time the cycle transition has become quite smooth, as if he has practiced it hundreds of times in private.
"Oh oh oh!"
Zhao Xi even had time to scream, beckoning everyone to come over and take a look. That is to say, during the period when he lost his temper and lost his voice, the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of configuration, splicing, and superposition were completed in one go!
A vague-looking but unmistakable "demon eye" appears in the swaying fire of format.
The "demon eyes" in the blazing white flames first reflected back on Zhao Xi himself, fine-tuning each other's Qi to achieve deeper synchronization. Then, following Zhao Xi's thoughts, he cast his gloomy gaze to the north of the Sky Ridge, looking directly at the sea of clouds in the valley in the center of the U-shaped mountain range.
So, three to five seconds later, Zhao Xi captured that unique smoke with a strange sense of ruin in the surging sea of clouds.
Misty mist.
They are mixed in the sea of clouds, and their gray texture seems to be integrated with the morning clouds. But under the observation of the eye of configuration, the "developer" has already taken effect, and what the mind refers to will not be confused with normal clouds.
"Yes, indeed there is!"
Zhao Xi shouted, slapping his thighs in excitement, but he forgot that he was now fully clothed, and almost knocked his own exoskeleton armor apart.
Moreover, soon he suddenly gained something new: "Hey, there seems to be something else... Damn, I saw the spout!"
After shouting here, he suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
After only half a second, Frith and Liu Fengming, two teammates who had also learned the "Eye of Knowledge" and whose experience in poker games were not inferior to his, blurted out almost at the same time:
"Burrow!"
