After spending most of the day, the temporary camp was gradually completed under the arrangement of everyone.
In order not to disturb the jailers, the yamen lived on the outside, while the jailers lived on the inside. The distance between the two was about a hundred meters.
The military tent was supported and reinforced, and wood was specially stored for backup. The hunted hare meat was grilled on the bonfire.
A tangy aroma of meat spreads out.
The sun was setting low, and everyone was sitting around the campfire talking and laughing.
Compared to two consecutive days of traveling, it was undoubtedly much easier after being stationed, and there were no traces of carnivorous beasts nearby.
The problem of water sources is more troublesome.
Ren Qing only found trickling mountain springs nearby, which was not enough for the daily needs of dozens of people, let alone the government officials who might come one after another.
Wang Wen suggested: "If you want to send people, why not go to the mountains to find water sources tomorrow?"
Ren Qing shook his head and said: "We will wait until Lord Jailer returns to the camp to discuss the details."
The disaster relief restricted area might be nearby. If you stray too far away from the camp, you might die if you enter by mistake.
Xiao Wu looked at the roast rabbit with salivation and interrupted: "Eat something first..."
It was impossible for seven people to eat a roast rabbit together, and most of the rest of the prey had to be left to the jailer.
Ren Qing was about to use a knife to separate the rabbit meat when he suddenly noticed the sound of footsteps in the cave and two figures approaching gradually.
Everyone looked at each other at the entrance of the cave.
I saw Song Zongwu and a green-haired woman walking out. Judging from the waistband, she was indeed a jailer.
The two of them exuded the aura of not being disturbed. Although the loose clothes they wore slightly covered their differences, they could still tell that they were a bit weird.
Everyone swallowed their saliva, but except for Xiao Wu and Zhu Ding, the rest of them had more or less contact with the jailer.
Wang Wen kept winking at the two of them. It would be bad if he offended the jailer.
Song Zongwu went straight to the bonfire, not caring about the fearful looks of others, and his target was Ren Qing.
He said in a deep voice: "Ren Qing, you will be responsible for managing this camp. Tomorrow we will start sending government officials in and out of the cave to transport sand."
"kindness?"
Ren Qing was stunned for a moment. He thought that coming to the forbidden area would involve some danger, but he didn't expect that he would actually assist the guards in mining.
Song Zongwu nodded and said, "Ren Qing, please come with us. The main thing is to divide the passable area."
The green-haired woman was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect to call her specifically for this matter. Could it be that she wanted to go near the restricted area?
Ren Qing quickly stood up and followed behind the two of them.
He couldn't help but look up. Camelback Mountain was covered with a large amount of vegetation from the mountainside, and was filled with thick fog, making it difficult to see clearly even with double-eyed eyes.
The three of them set foot on the path opened up.
Song Zongwu chatted with the green-haired woman while walking. According to the meaning of the words, the restricted area was in this hump mountain.
Ren Qing also didn't expect that the disaster relief restricted area would be so close to the temporary camp. Wouldn't he be afraid of sudden accidents?
When the green-haired woman talked about the restricted area, she couldn't help but glance at Ren Qing, obviously worried.
Seeing this, Song Zongwu said: "Ren Qing has been exposed to magic. Although he is not at the level of a jailer, he will be fine if he understands the relevant information."
Ren Qing did not open his mouth to defend, he understood Song Zongwu's good intentions.
Because of Song Rong's intervention, there are more variables in blocking the disaster relief area. If you are in danger, you will inevitably use magic.
If the jailer does not know his situation, misunderstandings are likely to occur.
He simply recognized it: "Senior, I have come into contact with you by chance, but I am just getting started."
The green-haired woman's expression softened and she nodded slightly in recognition of Ren Qing.
Being valued so highly by Song Zongwu shows that the other party has outstanding talents and may be able to join the guards soon.
Then the two of them stopped worrying too much about the topic.
Ren Qing listened intently along the way.
According to what the two people said, the more strange objects are involved in the restricted area, the more exaggerated the phenomena will be, and there have even been cases where the earth has been scorched for thousands of miles.
The core strange object in the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone is the Ghost Realm, but by devouring a large number of strange objects, its power has reached the limit of the Ghost Realm.
Such a terrifying restricted area has become distorted both inside and outside.
It may only be a few miles on the surface, but if you really step into it, you may face a vast and infinite plain.
Moreover, strange objects interact with each other, and the restricted area will be extremely strange.
They wandered here and there for several hours until late at night.
The main reason is that Camelback Mountain is composed of two peaks, so its area is far larger than usual.
At this time, raindrops were falling in the sky, mixed with hailstones the size of fingernails, which hit people's bodies painfully.
Ren Qing couldn't help but look back. There was no sign of rain falling at the foot of the mountain.
You must know that summer is gradually entering, and such strange weather must be caused by the restricted area.
No wonder the jailer didn't cover up the disaster relief restricted area on the map. I'm afraid he could easily find it as long as he knew the approximate location.
Ren Qing felt that the temperature was getting colder. He noticed that the vegetation on the top of the mountain was still extremely lush, although it seemed a bit unnatural.
The leaves of the vegetation are lush and green, but the branches are already somewhat lifeless.
The path up the mountain is therefore blocked by vegetation.
Song Zongwu said, "Mu Yi, take action. I'll check if there are any changes in the restricted area."
"good."
When the green-haired woman stretched out her hand, the plants automatically separated the road, leaving a gap of half a meter.
A thick fog appeared in front of them, and the fog was still rolling at any time, like the rough sea.
Ren Qing used his double eyes to discover that under the green-haired woman's jade-white skin, the meridians were actually plant rhizomes, and the flowing blood also appeared dark green.
It can be seen from this that the plants should have been planted by this jailer named Mu Yi to temporarily block off the restricted area.
Song Zongwu and others stopped and then watched quietly.
Ren Qing asked curiously: "Senior Song, have you reached the outside of the restricted area?"
"Far from it. The actual area of the disaster relief zone may only be one-tenth of the blockade."
Mu Yi also explained patiently: "Both plants and fog are just means for us to temporarily block the area. If you really get close to the restricted area, you will fall into it in the blink of an eye."
The two of them led Ren Qing forward a few meters.
Ren Qing subconsciously turned his eyes, and then his head felt stinging, and his memory of the past two days began to become blurry.
He stared intently at the thick fog, his expression becoming dull as a result.
Song Zongwu's six bloody eyes opened, and he put his hands on Ren Qing's shoulders, trying to forcefully pull him back.
At this time, Ren Qing was in a thick fog, his vision slowly penetrated deep into the Camelback Mountain, and his soul seemed to have left his body in a trance.
He was in a state of neither sorrow nor joy, and could feel that he could return at any time, and even vaguely sensed danger.
Ren Qing didn't know that by chance, he borrowed some of the abilities of the twin nightmares after the alienation of the double-eyed person.
