Views:

Our group came out of Tiegong Village quietly, the early morning light was gray, and the snow in some places had not completely melted. The morning wind blew in, it was very cold, but everyone was high-spirited and was not knocked down by the cold. Although the cold wind is cold, the blood is still boiling.

When it comes to the exit of the stockade. Brothers Iron Dragon and Iron Tiger are already waiting at the mouth. The two stood under the flame with a torch.

Tielong said, "Xiao Kang, you just want to leave quietly like this. That would be too unjust! Is it that I Tiegongzhai is so unpleasant to you."

I laughed and said, "I have been harassing for a long time, I just want to leave quietly. I said goodbye to Patriarch Tie and Brother Tiehu last night. Brother Tielong, you will be sent here, and the next way is our own. go!"

Tielong handed over a large package and said, "This is some dry food I prepared for you. It is very hard to walk in the wild in the cold winter. Brother Xiao, if the road is not clear, remember to return to Tiegongzhai. My Tiegongzhai can’t. Outsiders are welcome, but you are always welcome."

I took the heavy package and said, "Thank you two big brothers, then we will have a period of time later." Everyone also bid farewell to the Dragon and Tiger brothers.

Tielong and Tiehu watched us leave. Soon we separated from Miao Junfeng again. When they were separated, Miao Junfeng cried into tears. He had to return by the road, after passing the stream, and then via Dou Chong Po, all the way back to the Miao King City. The divine cat jumped onto the tree and made two meows. Miao Junfeng, who walked out, waved to this side, then turned around abruptly and strode into the gray forest.

We lit the torch, Xiao Feng led the way, Chen Ye followed, Linglong, Huaxue, and Sparrow followed. I was still at the end to guard against those who attacked from behind. After walking for more than half an hour, the east began to darken, and the sun would appear before long.

I yelled, "Xiao Feng, you can put the torch away. In more than 20 minutes, the sun will come out. You go faster and get to that path as soon as possible. Let’s go down the mountain! You are a skeleton man, in front Lead the way, if you feel that the miasma is spreading, tell us in time."

Xiao Feng said: "No problem, wrap it on me!"

I also said to others: "When you reach the bottom of the mountain, you should use insect spirits to protect your body to avoid the damage of the miasma. At the same time, reduce the number of times you open your mouth and avoid inhaling the miasma. You must treat all this with caution. , Remember my words, the miasma forest is very powerful, and everyone must deal with it carefully."

I put the rope around the white dog again to prevent it from running wildly. If I rush into the miasma forest on an impulse, and get invaded by the miasma, it will be difficult to do with only a pile of dog bones. After catching the white dog, the white dog's strength is not small, and it can't hold it without any effort.

Xiao Feng speeded up, and soon arrived in front of the big stone pier yesterday. There was a misty forest in front of him, silent as water, without any sound. Xiao Feng said: "Then there is the Miasma Forest in front of you!"

Sparrow said in surprise: "From here, it's at least fifteen miles away from the Miasma Forest. It's so thick from a distance, and it must be very scary to observe it up close."

Hua Xue said: "The key is that the cliffs on both sides are towering, blocking the sunlight. In other words, it will not dissipate for a whole day. It seems that this miasma will not easily dissipate throughout the year."

Everyone looked out in front of the big stone pier for a while, and Xiao Feng led everyone on a way down the mountain. This stone path was very steep, as if it had been dug out on a suspended wall, some places were almost ninety degrees, and when I looked down, I couldn't help but panic.

Xiao Feng shouted: "Look at the stone steps in front of you. Don't look down. There are many steps on this mountain road. You must control the strength of your feet and don't slip. The rocks can be supported, and everyone is careful to go down."

When we went down the mountain through this path, the top of our heads was already bright, the sun had already emerged from the east, and the entire Shiwan Dashan had begun to bathe in the sun, and the light had also lit up. There was some moss on the cliffs and dew on the stones.

Our downward speed is not fast, and we maintain the most steady way to go down step by step. If so, my back is completely drenched with sweat. The bottom is already covered with a faint mist. Xiao Feng stopped, only more than ten meters away from the fog.

Xiao Feng yelled, "Xiao Kang, there is fog below. It is estimated that the wind is blowing under the valley. I don't know if there is a miasma. What should I do now?"

I replied loudly at the back of the team: "This should be mist, not miasma. Just in case, you go down and test it. You are a zombie, and your skin should be more resistant. If you have a slight discomfort, it will affect us. Yes, you must come back."

Xiao Feng shouted: "Okay, I'll get down right away."

I shouted again: "Chen Ye, you are pulling the rope, holding Xiao Feng, and slowly approaching the mist!"

Chen Ye untied the rope and handed it to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng pulled the rope and walked slowly down the steps until he was completely submerged in the thick fog. Chen Ye, Huaxue, Linglong, and Sparrow all waited nervously, and sweat broke out on my forehead.

Xiao Feng's voice came from the thick fog and shouted: "It's okay to come down. It's just water mist and no poisonous miasma. I feel good as a whole. Follow the rope. There is a very narrow step here. Don't fall underneath. . Also, the visibility will become very small, so remember to talk more."

Chen Ye walked over first, and Huaxue and Linglong followed closely. Fortunately, everyone had experience walking on the edge of the cliff. Be careful and careful, there will always be no mistakes. Soon, I also entered this thick fog.

After entering the dense fog, his vision was blocked by the dense fog. I looked up and looked at the top of my head. I couldn't feel the sun anymore, I just felt bright. Sparrow yelled: "Brother, you are about to cross the narrow steps, you have to be careful!"

I leaned on the cliff and said, "No problem!"

The group walked in the mist for about fifteen minutes. Suddenly they heard Xiao Feng shouting in front: "Okay, I have reached the ground, and I can get down. There is no poisonous miasma. There is a very fragrant fragrance below, it's me. I haven't smelled it before."

I also took a deep breath, and there was indeed a faint scent, which was very complicated, at least a dozen kinds of flowers. I exclaimed, "It's the smell of a mixture of flowers."

We also reached the ground one after another, all around was covered by fog, and we couldn't see the terrain nearby. Hua Xue said: "Everyone leaned over, turned their backs together, and looked to the outside at the same time. The wind is blowing, and the mist may be blown away after a while."

Everyone gathered together, Huaxue shouted: "Everyone shouted." Everyone uttered in turn, the white dog barked, and the god cat meowed.

Linglong said: "It is indeed the scent of a mixture of flowers. Maybe this miasma forest is a miasma. The scent is smelled here, and it will be stronger if it is closer to it."

Sparrow said: "The most powerful miasma in Xiangxi is the peach blossom miasma. The living person enters, and the bones come out! The big living person comes in and comes out with a pile of bones, and there is no doubt that he will die. This Hundred Flower Miasma is estimated to be hundreds of times more powerful than the Peach Blossom Miasma."

Huaxue said: "Now the thick fog is blocking our way. Don't worry, it's just the fragrance of flowers, not necessarily the miasma. The thick fog is too strong. In my opinion, you can start the torch first. go."

I thought for a while, and said, "Yes, put the fire on, we can't wait for the fog to dissipate. Xiao Feng, Chen Ye, you are in front. Linglong, Huaxue, you are in the middle. Sparrow, don't forget you follow them behind. I Behind the palace with the white dog..."

After the torch was lit, something with a radius of five meters could be seen. The ground was bare and there were a lot of big rocks. The whole ground was very clean. Except for the rocks, even moss and weeds did not grow.

"Looking at this posture, it really smells like a restricted area of life!" Chen Ye shouted, "I have been in Miaojiang for so many years, and I have never seen a place like this."

Sparrow also said: "I have never seen a place like this! The rocks on this ground are bare, even moss has not grown, and the whole ground is bare. This is even more terrifying than a fire."

The team was advancing in the thick fog, and the top of their heads was already gray, and the sun couldn't reach here. I maintained a high degree of vigilance as a whole, holding the white dog in one hand and moving forward cautiously.

"Close!" Xiao Feng shouted loudly, "I heard the sound of water, there should be a stream in front of it, and the fragrance is stronger than before, and I already felt the poisonous miasma pounce on us."

Chen Ye also said: "Yes, we should have walked five or six miles of mountain roads. We are still more than ten miles away from the miasma forest. Miasma leaks from the miasma forest. It is estimated that after this river, the front will be even more dangerous. what can we do about it?"

I took the white dog and walked forward, squinting at it, only to hear the sound of the water, but I couldn't see the direction of the river. I grabbed the torch and threw it out with all my strength. The torch flies in front and draws a light. Where the torch flies, the vicinity is illuminated, and the landscape appears in front of us.

Just where the torch fell, a man in white with a white mask suddenly appeared. Although it was only a moment, I still saw a man in white with a white mask. This white coat was the best concealment in the thick fog. .

And beside the white-clothed man, there are more than a dozen white monsters, as for what it is. I can't see clearly. When I saw this scene, I was shocked, and shouted: "Everyone meets the enemy! There is murder! Close up!"

The white dog leaped forward violently, opened the rope I was holding, and rushed out directly, with a barking sound resounding through the entire mist.
