No, they didn’t even know whether the sun had risen or whether the next day had really arrived.
The fog shrouded everything.
Including daylight and time.
What's worse is that when they started arguing about it, they found that one of them seemed extremely silent.
The man stared at the burnt-out bonfire silently, without any response to anything around him.
He is dead.
And he wasn't scared to death.
Instead, his heart was taken out from behind.
After realizing this, everyone felt a biting chill.
This man was sitting among them yesterday, and no one was asleep, and no one saw the murderer's appearance.
They don't even know when the murderer committed the crime!
At the same time, just when everyone felt that fear was gradually engulfing their hearts, the fog around them became thicker.
The fog is covering everything.
When the fear reached its peak, quarrels naturally broke out.
They blamed each other.
Why did you take the initiative to come to this place
Why make such a crazy decision
At the height of the argument, they even drew their swords and pointed them at each other!
But in the end, the fight never happened.
Because before the battle, Steven cut off both of their heads with his own hands.
"No one is allowed to make noise, everyone listen to me!"
Chapter 193 Pure Land (6/6 plus 31)
"I can't guarantee that you will survive if you obey my command, but if you don't listen---" you will definitely die."
As he said this, Steven widened his eyes and looked at the remaining three people angrily.
"Don't ask, don't tell, just grab their gear and follow me!"
Steven took out an old book, which was the notes left by his great-grandfather.
He told his terrified companions about his origins and what the notebook meant here
He said:
“It’s our only hope.”
In the end, Steven used this notebook to make the other three people calm down and follow him silently.
The situation seemed to be under control by then.
But in fact, Steven had read through that notebook since he was a child, and there was no useful information in it.
But that was still the only hope Steven and the other three could place on at that moment.
He kept praying in his heart, hoping that his great-grandfather could give him guidance so that he could escape from this haunted place.
After that, perhaps it was really the great-grandfather's apparition that appeared, or perhaps the god he believed in finally began to protect him for the first time, and they did not encounter any problems along the way.
All the dangers seemed to have disappeared, and they walked in the fog without encountering any attacks.
But no one let down their guard, as the tragic situation of their companions was still vivid in their minds.
And this walk lasted a whole day.
Steven and the others entered a special state. They completely gave up thinking and just rushed forward after selecting a target.
It was not until they saw the first special place that they stopped as if awakened from a dream.
They saw a huge lake!
And after seeing similar trees, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement!
The companions could not wait to come to the lake to replenish their drinking water and wash themselves thoroughly, but were stopped by Steven.
As a ranger, he knew one thing very well: such water sources in the forest must be the drinking water sources of various creatures.
Here, some ferocious wild animals can live in peace with their prey and share water together.
But at this moment, he didn't see any living creature.
None of them!
what does that mean
This means it's very dangerous here!
Two of the remaining three companions chose to believe it after hesitation, but the only female companion did not listen to his dissuasion.
She no longer cared about anything else. After breaking free from Steven's pull, she rushed towards the lake and dived into it.
The lake was calm, but there was no sign of the companion appearing again.
Just as Steven thought, they had lost another companion.
After waiting for an hour, they decided to leave and circled around the lake to the other side.
But what about after we get around the lake
Logically, they should have realized that they had taken the wrong path after encountering the first landmark and should have returned the same way.
But they didn't, and they still walked blindly.
Where are they going
No one knows the answer, they just keep moving forward.
It was as if there was a voice calling out in their hearts,
Keep moving forward and don't look back.
After walking for who knows how long, changes finally occurred around me.
The fog has dissipated a little.
They raised their heads excitedly and looked at the full moon in the sky - a scarlet moon as red as blood.
The Misty Mountains are terrifying in themselves, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival in the Misty Mountains under the blood moon!
But compared to the fear of being in a desperate situation, the three of them realized something even more terrifying.
They didn't stay in the fog for two days, but for a whole week!
At the moment they realized the passage of time, the three of them suddenly felt extremely hungry, and a strange sense of fullness.
One of them fell to his knees and began to vomit wildly, spitting out all the food he had eaten during that time.
Completely undigested bread, dry leather, a metal pocket watch - and two human fingers. After spitting these out, the man looked at the two fingers, as if he suddenly thought of something terrible, and let out a shrill scream.
Then he was frightened to death.
The team... There were only two people left. Perhaps they had become numb to what had happened, and Steven and the other man had no feelings about the death of their companion.
They looked at each other and continued to move forward silently.
The two walked under the reflection of the blood moon and could feel the greedy gazes looking at them in the darkness. But for some reason, those beings in the shadows just looked at them with cold eyes, and no one dared to walk up to them.
I kept watching them until they arrived in front of a magnificent and ancient temple.
When Steven came to his senses again, he was already standing outside the temple holding a huge package.
And his only remaining companion had his head and limbs cut off and turned into a sacrifice on the altar.
Who did it
Steven looked down at his injuries and didn't think about it any further.
But just as he was about to continue walking, the package in his arms suddenly vibrated.
At that moment, Steven came to his senses.
Thinking back on everything that had happened during this period of time, the fear in his heart almost overwhelmed him and he almost fell to his knees.
What exactly happened here
But before Steven had time to think about it, his body moved on its own - he started running!
I didn't know why I was running or where I was running, but I still ran madly.
After running for an unknown amount of time...
Finally, he saw his destination.
In the thick fog and under the blood moon, he saw a pure land that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.
In the cold woods, there appeared a piece of land burned by flames.
And in the center of the scorched earth, a wooden stake soaked in golden blood was stuck in the ground, emitting a golden glow, silently dispelling the darkness and fog.
What is that!!!
Steven didn't know whether what he saw was an illusion, a real miracle, or a miracle created by the gods.
What kind of great power can create a pure land in this forbidden zone of life
Steven wasn't sure, but he knew that this might be his only hope of survival.
He was completely driven by instinct and rushed in recklessly.
The moment he walked into the light, he felt the package in his arms tremble for the second time!
At the same time, he seemed to hear a crisp sound.
The sound was like... something breaking out of a shell.
Click.
Chapter 194: Primitive Altar (1/5)
The crisp sound made Steven's heart skip a beat.
Boom boom!
What's that sound
Was the thing I took out from that temple actually an egg
But if it is enshrined in the temple...what kind of egg would it be
The fetus of a god
[At this point I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → twkan.com]
Or an angel's egg
In the past, he had heard many, many stories about the Misty Mountains.
And among all the legends, there is one that is the oldest and says:
An ancient god is buried in the Misty Mountains, and one day he will return to the mortal world.
But because the legend was too old, few people had heard of it. He had only found a few words about it in his great-grandfather's study.
At this moment, he felt as if he was holding a huge rock weighing more than a thousand pounds in his hands.
Steven's body trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to drop the package in his arms, nor did he dare to do anything rash.
He stood silently in front of the wooden stake. After a long time, the package did not make any sound again, and he felt a little relieved.
It was only at this time that he had the energy to observe his surroundings. He looked at the wooden stake in front of him.
There are obvious signs of human treatment on the wooden piles, and it should not have been long ago.
Is there anyone living nearby
