Gu Xingmian used a "unconventional" method to prove that this strange space was not a domain, but it brought more doubts to everyone.
Nina asked curiously: "If it's not a domain, then what is it?"
The spores of the mushrooms have indeed lost contact. If it's not a domain, could it be another space?
Song Nanting frowned and said: "We must test it."
Xiao Qiong said: "I'll do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xingmian followed closely and said: "I'll go with you."
Xiao Qiong was about to refuse, and Gu Xingmian said: "I'm in your spiritual body."
In fact, Gu Xingmian also knew that with his current strength, he might not be able to help him. If he was a real person, he might even hold him back, but because of his identity as a card, being able to enter his spiritual body is a good thing.
Moreover, he always felt that he was more sensitive to these spaces than them, and maybe he could really find some important clues.
Xiao Qiong might have thought of this, so he did not refuse.
So, Gu Xingmian once again entered Xiao Qiong's spiritual body, and Xiao Qiong tied another teammate's God Card zipline around his waist.
Xiao Qiong took the communicator and tried it with Song Nanting. After there was no problem, he stepped away.
At the same time, Gu Gu also began to release spores towards their route.
At first, they could still see Xiao Qiong's back, but gradually, Xiao Qiong's back was blurred in a gray haze, and they could only see him through the picture sent back by the spores.
Soon, Song Nanting's link came on, and Xiao Qiong's voice came: "Nothing unusual."
They had agreed before that they would communicate through the link every ten meters.
It was considered the third layer of insurance.
If the audience had not seen the performance of the other three colleges, they would probably sneer at them for being so "afraid of death", but now they wished they would add a few more layers of insurance to let them know what happened.
Song Nanting gave a few instructions and released the link.
Fu Fenglin briefly recounted what had just happened between Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian.
The gray mist attacked and once again swept up Gu Xingmian who was closest to him. Gu Xingmian drilled back into Xiao Qiong's spiritual body with skill, and Xiao Qiong chopped the gray mist into pieces with the same skill.
Since he discovered that the gray mist would sneak attack, Gu Xingmian took the initiative to come out of Xiao Qiong's spiritual body as bait to lure the gray mist.
Although the gray mist did not sweep him up every time, Xiao Qiong's pressure was indeed reduced a lot.
Anyway, there was no saying that it was wrong to use a bug like this, so Gu Xingmian felt at ease to fish for the gray mist.
Everyone in front of the screen: "..."
The gray mist was so terrifying and powerful when it first appeared, why did it seem so stupid when it came to them?
The two of them were killing the gray mist while communicating with Song Nanting.
Everything was normal in the front until they were almost fifty meters away, then they became alert, and Gu Xingmian once again entered Xiao Qiong's spiritual body.
Because the spores lost contact at the fifty-meter position before, according to Fu Fenglin, it was just a matter of a moment, and no one knew what happened.
On the other end of the zipline, Song Nanting and the others were all worried, fearing that Xiao Qiong's contact would be cut off the next moment.
And Fu Fenglin was also watching the images sent back by the spores.
Not only the members of the Mosca Academy, but even the audience in front of the screen were worried.
The screen of the Mosca Academy has been divided into two parts, one side is Song Nanting and his side, and the other side is Xiao Qiong and his side.
Everything seemed normal on both sides.
But the audience who had seen the other three colleges knew that the accident happened when everything was normal. Until now, they didn't know when the other three colleges entered that cycle.
Every second seemed to pass very slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Qiong pressed the contactor.
At the same time, Song Nanting received his response: "Everything is normal."
Just when all the audience's hearts fell, Song Nanting suddenly asked: "What's the tattoo on Eric's left arm?"
There was silence for a moment before the other end replied: "Fish fillet burger."
Then he paused and added, "Fish fillet burger from Mary's Burger Shop."
Eric looked at Song Nanting in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
The audience in front of the screen was as confused as he was.
Song Nanting released the contact and said, "Let's see if it's Xiao Qiong and Xingmian who answered."
Song Nanting hesitated for a moment, but still explained, "Just in case. After all, this place is very strange, and everything must be considered."
Everyone was stunned, and then a dense sense of fear crawled out from their hearts.
Xiao Qiong continued to walk forward, and still contacted Song Nanting every ten meters. When he reached sixty meters, there was still no problem.
Eric and others were a little confused: "Will it be okay? Is it possible that the mushroom spores were eaten by the gray mist?"
They were actually a little anxious. The competition had started for such a long time, but they were still at the starting point. They didn't know if other colleges had walked a long way, and maybe they had already found clues.
"These gray mists won't attack the God Cards," Song Nanting said.
They had just been attacked by the gray mists once or twice, but they only attacked people and didn't care about the God Cards at all.
Fu Fenglin also said, "They weren't eaten, they just suddenly lost contact." He paused, "The spores are fine now, let's wait a little longer until the boss and the others come back."
After he said this, Eric and the others could only be patient and continue to wait.
Soon, the next ten meters arrived.
Song Nanting opened the contact as usual: "How are you guys?"
This time, there was no quick response from the other end. After a while, a vague voice came from the contact: "Everything is normal."
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Song Nanting's expression suddenly changed: "No, there seemed to be two voices just now."
Fu Fenglin also frowned: "Spore has lost contact."
Everyone: "!!!"
The next second, the zipline's master suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there's no one on the other end of the zipline!"
The zipline that was originally holding Xiao Qiong and the others was actually retracted directly, and there was a smooth cut at the end of the zipline, but this cut was also silent, and even his master didn't feel it.
Master Ke took the zipline back to his spirit body with heartache. Fortunately, the injury was not particularly serious for the zipline, but it would take a while to recover.
Song Nanting hurriedly pressed the contact: "Xiao Qiong, how are you?"
But there was no response from the other end.
Xiao Qiong and the others, like those spores, completely lost contact with them.
Song Nanting bit his lip hard and asked the zipline operator: "How many meters was the zipline broken just now?"
The operator: "68 meters."
Fu Fenglin frowned slightly: "The spores lost contact at 73 meters."
Nina was surprised: "How come there is a difference of five meters?"
"That means the problem is within this five-meter range."
After hearing this, Eric became even more confused: "But didn't we have a problem at 50 meters before? Now, does it mean that this strange space has retreated?"
Others were also talking.
"If that's the case, can we follow this retreating space and move forward?"
"Will it be that simple?"
"Give it a try, do we have to wait here forever?"
"That's not the case." Fu Fenglin suddenly said, "That thing shouldn't be retreating."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Fu Fenglin frowned and said, "Just now when the spores followed them, I found that the scenery along the way was different from before, it seemed... it seemed..."
He didn't know how to describe it with words, Song Nanting continued, "It seems to have changed to a different place."
"Yes!" Fu Fenglin nodded vigorously, "That's the feeling!"
At this time, Leus in the VIP room praised: "They are still very sensitive and found the clues so quickly."
Caldwell said: "The spores are still very powerful. In fact, if we can use a detector, we should be able to find the problem quickly."
In places where evil spirits are rampant, many high-tech products will be affected and malfunction, such as suspension vehicles, detectors, communicators and the like. Only this special connector and recorder can be used, but the connector has distance restrictions and is also a bit troublesome.
"In a place like this, spores can really play a big role." Noah looked at Fufeng Lin with satisfaction. He knew that Fufeng Lin was the youngest son of the Fufeng family, and he had good skills. He also had such a powerful God Card. When he graduated, he could be recruited into the Second Military Region.
The other generals were also thinking about it.
At this time, they saw Xiao Qiong on the other side was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he turned around and walked back along the direction of the flying rope.
"!!!"
Caldwell was suspicious: "Has he discovered something wrong?"
Mrs. Hollis said: "Is it possible that he felt it when the zipline was cut just now?"
After all, they were just imitations, and it was impossible for them to be as powerful as real evil spirits. Even someone as sensitive as Xiao Qiong could have discovered it.
If it was Carlos, he would definitely be able to feel it.
In fact, Xiao Qiong did notice something just now, but what really made him stop was Gu Xingmian's words: [I feel like this place seems to have changed...]
After the two discussed, they decided to go back first.
Gu Xingmian remembered that they felt something was wrong after the seventh ten meters, but they walked along this zipline for a long, long time and did not return to their original position.
Xiao Qiong paused: [We seem to be trapped in another space.]
Gu Xingmian simply emerged from his spiritual body again.
Because the gray fog could not hurt him, he felt much more at ease. He kept looking around, and finally, he set his sights on the gray sky above his head.
Xiao Qiong immediately responded: "Do you think there is something wrong with the sky today?"
Gu Xingmian nodded and asked: "Since we came in, we have killed a lot of gray fog. Look at the recorder. How many points did you get?"
Xiao Qiong took out the recorder, but saw only a 0 on it.
Xiao Qiong frowned slightly, and understood what Gu Xingmian meant: "You mean, these gray mists are just a part of this evil spirit?"
"Yes, just like those little thumb men in Ruohua Realm." Gu Xingmian said as if he was asking himself, "Then where are their bodies? After thinking about it, I feel that this piece of sky is more suspicious..."
Gu Xingmian said, feeling the air with his palm for a while, squatting down, and touching the ground for a while.
Then, he asked Xiao Qiong: "Since we came in, this place is like a sandstorm, but I just felt it in the air for a while, and then touched the ground... but look!"
He stretched out his hand, but the fingertips were white, without dust.
Xiao Qiong didn't say anything, he knew that Gu Xingmian hadn't finished speaking.
"When I walked over just now, I found that some houses looked a little weird." Gu Xingmian pointed in a direction, "Don't you think it's weird that those two houses are next to each other?"
Xiao Qiong looked in the direction of his finger and indeed saw the problem. There were two houses, one tall and one short. The tall one was magnificent, while the short one was shabby. Moreover, the railings of the tall house were made of stone pillars, but at this moment, half of the railings were missing in the middle of the two houses.
Xiao Qiong was a little surprised. He always paid attention to the surrounding environment, but he didn't notice such an obvious disharmony.
And it was not until he pointed it out that the audience in front of the screen realized that something was wrong.
"Oh, that's right. How come I didn't notice such an obvious problem?"
"Not really. At first glance, it was so gray that I thought it was just an ordinary row of houses..." "
Indeed, it's amazing to find such a small problem among so many houses!"
Not only them, but also several people in the VIP room didn't notice it.
Caldwell frowned and said, "Could it be the influence of the gray fog?"
Leus: "Yes, and the real fog has a greater impact. We didn't know how much it cost us to realize this."
Leus said before that the city had become an area like building blocks. Although they could understand it, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
This was actually torn apart the city and then put it together.
In fact, this building block is still changing.
Just like the two problems that Song Nanting and his team had just encountered, the timing was different.
Li Chengji said: "Admiral Leus, you used the word 'building blocks'. The real situation should be even more terrible, right?"
Leus looked at it for so long that he was a little tired. He coughed a few times and then said slowly: "Yes, this copy we made is very rough. You should have discovered that it is more like a jigsaw puzzle than a building block. It can only be divided vertically, and each piece is Fixed, but the city of Duna at that time... was really like a city made of building blocks. "
At this time, Qin Ke, who had been silent, slowly spoke: "I seem to have read the relevant case files. It is said that the smallest piece is only half a person's height."
Qin Ke did not participate in the rescue of Duna City that year, and his comrades who came back alive also kept it a secret. He only looked through the files afterwards. The records in the files were very simple, but every stroke was written in blood.
When everyone heard the three words "half a person's height", they suddenly realized something and their expressions changed slightly: "Could it be..."
Admiral Gwen paused: "At that time, one of my teammates suddenly lost half of his body in front of me."
Everyone's heart suddenly chilled.
Compared with those evil spirits with terrifying appearances and powerful skills, this kind of silent killing is more terrifying.
Just when Xiao Qiong and his team found something wrong, the other three academies that had been trapped also took their own actions. After
the people from Tianhe Academy found that they were constantly looping in the same space, they began to look for clues and analyze at the same time. The careful Fu Fengye soon discovered the cut scene.
Although this gray fog has an effect, it is not the original version after all. If they look carefully, they will still notice it.
After some guesses, they slowly approached the truth, but in the process, they happened to catch up with the changes in the "puzzle", and one team member almost lost a hand. Fortunately, he reacted in time.
After that, they tried again despite the danger, but the place where the problem just occurred was also included in the looping space.
They were in the game and didn't know it.
But the people in the VIP room understood that each "puzzle" was a separate space, and there was only one opening in this space to pass through, and going to other edges would only repeat.
What's more terrifying is that it is not fixed. After each movement, it will change into a new shape, so it is impossible to find the edge of the puzzle and then find the exit through this trial.
Finding the edge is difficult in itself. The "puzzle" has no characteristics unless it changes.
The "puzzle" alone is so difficult, not to mention the more three-dimensional "building blocks", the difficulty is simply multiplied.
No wonder Admiral Lius and his men suffered so much.
Everyone at Tianhe College also realized this and had to give up this method. In addition, while guarding against the ubiquitous gray fog, they also had to guard against this silent movement, lest they be split in half without knowing it.
The situation at Fallet College was similar to theirs, and they were basically in trouble.
In comparison, the approach taken by Fakken College was much more radical.
Carlos deserves to be called a genius among geniuses. After realizing the circular space, he quickly turned his attention to the sky after a series of attempts.
He was not vague, and rode the griffon directly, trying to tear the gray sky apart.
But just as he did this, countless gray fogs suddenly rushed out from all around to swallow him. Unexpectedly, Carlos was not only not afraid, but even excited.
He realized that he might have found the key to breaking the deadlock.
Without waiting for him to call, the other team members hurriedly followed him. Those who had flying God Cards flew up to the sky, and those who couldn't fly climbed to high places such as roofs and used long-range attacks to help.
Soon, they actually tore a hole in the gray sky.
Outside the hole, a huge evil spirit with flames all over its body roared at them and rushed over.
Carlos became more and more excited when he saw the evil spirit.
He even thought the evil spirit was a little cute. After all, this meant that his method was correct and he was one step closer to victory.
The audience who had been watching outside the screen also became excited.
"Carlos is indeed amazing!"
"I didn't expect that he could actually attack the sky... It looks like Faken Academy will win again this time."
Leus nodded and praised: "He found the key point very quickly. The reason why Duna City became like this is indeed because of the gray fog above, but few people can be as decisive as him to attack the sky directly."
Mrs. Hollis smiled.
"We did the same thing at that time." Leus sighed, "But this piece of gray fog is really too large, and as long as a small piece survives, the gray fog can grow infinitely. It takes a lot of mental energy to eliminate them. I don't know how long they can hold on..." Thinking of
this, he looked at Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian again.
I don't know why, he always feels that these two people can come up with some solutions that he can't think of.
Here, Gu Xingmian wrote his guess on the recorder, and after a while, the score on it became 10 points.
Gu Xingmian was immediately happy: "It seems that I guessed correctly! Moreover, this score belongs to the team, Nan Ting and others can also see it, maybe they can guess it according to my thoughts!"
Everyone: "..."
That's enough! ! !
It's okay to use the recorder as a verifier, and now you want to use it to transmit information to the team! Even
someone as crazy as Carlos doesn't dare to do such a thing in such a serious competition.
This is really, really...
The audience didn't know what words to use to describe him, and in the end they were left speechless.
Gu Xingmian didn't care, no matter if it was a black cat or a white cat, the one that caught the mouse was a good cat.
He and Xiao Qiong continued to analyze: "This gray fog can separate this city like a puzzle, and these puzzles can be combined with each other. We should be in a piece of the puzzle now. We were able to enter from the puzzle before, which means there is an exit. As long as we find the exit, we should be able to leave this puzzle."
This is similar to the method Fu Fengye and his friends had thought of before, and everyone was waiting to see how he would fail.
Gu Xingmian turned left and right, walked and stopped, and finally pulled Xiao Qiong and took a step, and actually left the place where they were now.
Everyone: "!!!"
Leus in the VIP room couldn't help but sit up straight, shocked: "How is it possible?!"
"It can't be... an accident?"
But soon, Gu Xingmian proved that it was not an accident, he was as relaxed as if he was just visiting.
This scary and weird "puzzle" didn't have any intimidation in front of him.
Looking at the easy mode of the two of them, and then looking at the hard mode of other colleges, the audience was a little confused.
If it weren't for seeing Song Nanting and the others struggling in the hard mode, they would have suspected that the league organizing committee had opened a back door for Mosca College.
Leus now felt like vomiting blood.
He was worried that the question was too difficult, so he changed the task from killing Gray Mist to looking for clues. He didn't expect to encounter such a bug as Gu Xingmian. It wasn't long before they were almost at the center of the map.
At this time, Admiral Gwen's communicator rang.
When Gwen saw the number, his expression instantly became serious.
The few people who were arguing stopped.
However, Gwen did not go out to answer the call. He simply said a few words to the other party and ended the call, but his face was still very ugly.
"Ludwig, who called? What happened?" Leus asked.
Gwen let out a long breath: "It's Aegora."
He paused, then continued, "Gray fog was found in the city of Quilmo."
"!!!"
