"Don't move! Come to me!"
Swinging his sword to cut off the tentacles wrapped around his calves, Basil retreated behind his companions and began to adjust his breathing.
A few seconds later, he slowly exhaled. In the long breath, white mist gradually appeared, like silk flying in the wind, spreading to the left and right, wrapping up the knights who were retreating while fighting.
In an instant, the sound of gold and iron clashing disappeared, and the originally fierce battle was suddenly stuck there.
It's like pressing the pause button.
The leading knight breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led his companions back to the vicinity of Basil. The defensive circle was further reduced and the effect was correspondingly strengthened.
The knights held their breath and stared at the thick fog that could obscure everything.
They could feel that the invisible mysterious beings were moving anxiously around them, as if they were trying to find their lost target, but due to the interference of the white smoke, they never came to any result. In the end, they had to slowly fall silent.
Until the crisis was completely dissipated, Basil breathed a sigh of relief, maintained the state of using the secret technique, squatted down, and checked his calf.
The mist, which was distinct from the thick fog, surrounded him like a loyal guard, fulfilling its obligation to protect its master.
This is a unique skill passed down by the Basil family. It can imitate the breath of life within the range of the lake. Although it has a huge flaw that it will be automatically eliminated after moving, the overall evaluation is not high, but it can still come in handy in emergencies. .
The other knights also relaxed as if they had survived the disaster, and began to check their own conditions.
The monsters in the fog seem to have their own action patterns and are very sensitive to the movement of living things. It's okay if they don't move. But when they move, the other party will start to agitate and beat them hard as if their lungs have been stabbed. The knights who were about to find someone were caught off guard.
"How's everything going?"
The leading knight took the initiative to ask about the status of the others.
Everyone responded that it was okay, only Basil said with a wry smile.
"He was slightly injured, so he should be fine for the time being."
The leading knight turned his head and reached out to check his injury. After confirming that it was not serious, he took off the bag from his waist and threw it not far away.
There was a crisp sound of landing. He waited attentively for a moment. After confirming that the thick fog had no reaction, he took off his companion's bag, raised his hand, and threw it hard.
The brown bag was thrown far away and quickly disappeared into the thick fog. The knights pricked up their ears. After waiting for a long time, they didn't hear the sound of the bag falling to the ground. They couldn't help but frown.
The knight doing the experiment shook his head, and his bad guess came true.
"This thing has a certain isolation effect on sound. Our voices can't travel very far."
This eliminated any idea of them shouting for help to get Lucy's attention.
"Kiel will try the secret method, Delise will release the props, and others will check the equipment. Don't move easily!"
The knights obeyed the orders and began to check their luggage.
"Everything is still there, including food and water, but it won't last long."
"...In this case, without water or food, we really can only wait to be trapped here and die."
"Lucy will probably come to us, as long as we wait until she comes..."
The voice of the knight who spoke became lower and lower. He sighed, and his mood instantly sank to the bottom.
The companion beside him said without hope: "It would be best if we could hold on until she comes, but who knows how big this place is and how far away we are from Lucy?"
"How long will it take for her to find us?"
"I'm afraid that by the time someone comes, we will be turned into corpses."
No one refuted his words, and everyone was in a low mood. The leading knight frowned, and just as he was about to boost his morale, two pieces of bad news came one after another.
Delise had a pale face and shook her head at him.
"No, after the props were released, contact was lost, and the mental power was lost to the sea. The people here
The environment does not support the use of remote props at all. "
The knight who was ordered to use the secret technique also shook his head, indicating that he had gained nothing.
"I can't do it here either."
The leading knight sighed, a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Then we can only wait and see when Lucy discovers us."
"Save food and water and hold on for as long as possible."
When this topic was brought up, the knights all thought of Lucy, who was traveling lightly, and couldn't help but worry.
"The child doesn't have any food with her. If this drags on for a long time and we can hold on, she might be..."
"I don't know what's going on with that plant-type familiar. If it really doesn't work... I hope she can figure out how to adapt..."
The knights discussed worriedly and anxiously. In this depressing atmosphere, Delise kept burying her head and rummaging through the items in her luggage.
She frowned and rummaged in her bag for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"etc!"
She took out the things from the bottom of the box and said in surprise.
"and this!"
The knights all turned their heads to see a tubular prop appearing in front of everyone.
It is a measuring tool used by the Knights to measure distances.
When in use, energy light beams can be extended from both sides, allowing the user to judge the distance by measuring the extended light beams.
"Let's get in a circle and spin it!"
The female knight's eyes were bright, and she directly unfolded the prop to a length of several meters, and then attached it to her waist, making a gesture like turning a hula hoop. The others instantly understood her intention.
If living people move, they will attract the attention of the dense fog and attract attacks, but dead objects will not. They can stay here, with themselves as the center of the circle, slowly extend the props, and draw Lucy's attention in a circle.
"Is this... okay?"
The knights looked at each other, hesitantly.
Although the thick fog seems to have no reaction to dead objects, is it too rash to make such a fuss?
Delise rolled her eyes and glared at her hesitant colleagues.
"If you don't, you have to wait for death. It's better than doing nothing, right?"
"How embarrassed are you to throw all the pressure on Lucy?"
The knights were persuaded and adjusted their positions as she said.
Then, measuring props began to be passed in their hands.
