The mist shrouded the endless wasteland. Although the light was not dark, it made people unable to see the distance clearly.
The wasteland is covered with a layer of green grass moss, some sparse brown weeds, and scattered low trees. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but it is only three meters high. The dense branches have some scattered leaves, blown by the cold wind, like the hair of a lonely witch is shaking.
When Gu Jun and the others came out of the passage, they were beside a broken wall.
The small ruin was so old that neither they nor Zug could identify what it was.
The Dreamland is very large. According to the known geography, the town of Ursa, Dilas-Lin, etc. are located in the west; the location of the Worm House is located in the Cal Plain in the north.
This is the first time for the five land wanderers including Peacock and Mo Qing to set foot here.
Even Great Elder Atal dare not say that he has enough understanding of this place.
"Do you know where there are supplies near here?" Gu Jun asked Zu Ge. Zu Ge said, "There is a place..."
Time is precious, and a team of them set off immediately.
After a while after coming out of the passage, everyone's protective clothing disappeared, and the only remaining clothes seemed to disappear at any time, and the sundries and weapons disappeared one after another.
But one old seal purification stone and three rational monitoring stones are still there, all made by Gu Jun before; the medical kit is still there, and his own Kalop equipment is still there, and to his surprise, there are three The pistols have not disappeared, they are all qsz11 pistols.
In fact, each of the sixteen of them was equipped with one, and only Gu Jun, Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning kept it. I don't know if there is any reason.
The qsz11 pistol is very small, with a total length of 15.3m and a total weight of 1.2 catties. It uses 5.8mm bullets and has a capacity of 8+1 rounds. This smallness may be one reason it survived.
Gu Jun doesn't know how powerful the pistol can be in the dreamland, but these 27 bullets must be cherished and used.
After speeding for about 15 minutes, they arrived at an abandoned cabin standing on the wasteland.
Zug said that many years ago, an adventure group was going to explore the Worm House. The base of the adventure group was set here, and all the supplies were there. However, on the night before the development of the adventure group, those people suddenly disappeared, just like that.
The materials left by the adventure group were rotten and rotten, and the ones that were not rotten were covered with thick dust, and no one else took them.
At that moment, the sixteen people quickly changed into linen clothes, took the few cold weapons in the house, and immediately continued to the worm house.
"Why did they disappear? What do you know?" On the way, Gu Jun asked Zu Ge again.
"Dear Nightmare Man, if you think you know something about this place, you are in danger. The less you know about this place, the better, especially the closer you are to the worm house, the more you will see, and you will be afraid Don't run around. The road leading to the worm house is a maze."
Zu Ge's words were soon fulfilled. They were walking on the road, but suddenly they saw the back of a woman in linen clothes running past in the mist.
"Ah Jun?" Uncle Dan asked what to do.
"Leave it alone, let's keep going." Gu Jun said, choosing to believe in this Zug, "Our goal is ahead."
Not long after they walked on the wasteland, they saw a carriage rattling past in the distance again in the dimness. On the carriage sat a few figures in black hats and black clothes, and all of them wore a kind of bird on their faces. mouth mask. Uncle Dan was surprised: "It seems to be the costume of a plague doctor during the Black Death in the Middle Ages in Europe..."
The bird's beak mask is the symbolic equipment of the plague doctor, and it is the filtering respirator of that era.
Gu Jun felt a strange restlessness in his heart. Is this their own hallucination? Or is this environment created for them to see
Bird beak doctor... Now they are here to solve the plague...
The Black Death, the Black Death again.
"Where have you seen those people who are suspected to be my people?" He asked Zug, "Is it those figures?"
"No." Zug said in fear, "The clothes they wear are not like this. I saw them closer to the worm house."
Gu Jun led the crowd and continued to walk forward. After walking for more than half an hour, some scorched areas appeared on the mossy ground under his feet, and a dead breath was gradually growing, but vigorous vitality was definitely not uncommon. On the contrary, those low trees became more numerous.
When they turned over a sloping field, they saw a strange change from the fog that still hadn't dissipated.
It's as if a picture has been reversed, the color of the environment in front of it is completely different, the moss has turned into black moss, and the little scorched black here is the little green over there. In this anomaly, there are stacked stone buildings in the distance, like a manor.
"There, that's it..." Zu Ge slapped his paws tremblingly, "After this line, I don't know anything, and it's useless to follow you, maybe I will drag you to save me. Shall I go first?"
"You can rest assured to follow, if that happens, we will not take the risk of saving you." Gu Jun said.
As soon as they crossed this dividing line, everyone felt their spirits shake. Gu Jun, Lou Xiaoning, and Peacock, who had been mentally trained, didn't feel anything wrong; but Uncle Dan and the other eight team members, who had not practiced Those who have experienced the spell feel a little painful.
"Headache..." Uncle Dan pressed his forehead painfully, "It seems that there is a phantom coming in."
Gu Jun frowned, and asked Uncle Dan to try using the old seal purification stone.
While everyone was watching, Uncle Dan reached out and pressed the imprint on the stone surface. He didn't know spells and had never used them. He shouldn't be in a state of mental erosion, but when he pressed his hand, the purification stone reacted. Uncle Dan also let out a muffled cry: "Ah..."
"Here." Gu Jun couldn't help but look around at the foggy surroundings. This place will cause spiritual erosion to people.
Others also realized that the situation was not good, and tried a round with the rational monitoring stone. Uncle Dan and the others were indeed being eroded. Although the power of darkness is very weak, it is constantly eroding. Undoubtedly, there is a line of spiritual defense. If it falls below this line, it will be like a bank breaking, and it will be submerged by the flood little by little.
And the closer you get to the Worm House, the stronger the dark power should be.
"Uncle Dan, you stay there." Gu Jun said helplessly, the team he dislikes the most, but there is no way now, if Uncle Dan and the others follow, it's like stabbing wounds on them continuously, and they will lose blood soon And die.
"Oh, your old bones are really old." Lou Xiaoning said to Uncle Dan with disdain, "I told you to learn spells, so I won't learn."
"It's old." Uncle Dan was still in the mood to joke, "If I didn't work until the retirement age to get the full pension, I would have retired a long time ago."
Time is tight, they only have 12 hours, preferably within 6 hours, and now it has taken nearly an hour.
So after only saying a few words, everyone divided into two teams. Seven people including Gu Jun and one ancestor continued to walk towards the manor, and took away two pistols, while Uncle Dan and other nine people stayed on the mossy wasteland. holding a pistol.
Gu Jun, Peacock and the others walked forward for more than a hundred meters, and when they looked back, the figures of Uncle Dan and others were completely covered by the mist.
When they walked another hundred meters or so...
Bang bang bang, suddenly, there was a gunshot from behind.
