Although Chu Xiaoyue is usually "silent", according to Xu Zhi's observation, she is not the kind of person who is very taciturn or withdrawn by nature. If she has to say something, it seems that she has entered the "energy-saving mode".
After leaving the energy-saving mode, Chu Xiaoyue still didn't say much, but he would not cut corners on what he should say or do.
As the only one who had experience entering the Lost Land, she also briefly explained to her teammates their strange condition.
"The Lost Land has a natural allure for transcendents. Did you just feel light and want to fly?"
"That's one of the temptations, and it's only the mildest. The longer you stay in this state of loss, the deeper the feeling will be. In severe cases, you'll want to break free from your heavy body and enjoy the feeling of being light and floating with only your soul. Once you truly fall into that feeling and decide to do so, you're doomed."
Chu Xiaoyue reminded him, "I can't always detect that something is wrong with your condition. Remember what you felt just now. If it happens again, you need to wake up on your own."
"There are many ways. The simplest way is to slap yourself or create some other pain. The pain will make you fall to the ground. If you find yourself at a point where you can no longer feel the pain, speak up."
"We have to call the teacher to get you out right away."
Several people nodded carefully. They were still students. It was not the time when their life span was over and the only option was advancement or death. There was no need to stay in Lost Land just to advance. They would naturally know when to advance and when to retreat.
"Let's go."
Chu Xiaoyue led the team, and the seven of them walked towards the lost place.
At this moment, Xu Zhi secretly used his extraordinary ability [Spiritual Body] to record this location.
She was not in a hurry to use her [Spirit Body]. Lost in the land was full of danger and she could not disperse her strength. Moreover, she had to concentrate highly and had no time to do two things at once.
The little alien in his arms seemed to become a little more "active" after entering the Lost Land.
Normally, it is almost impossible for it to absorb the required [Cup] attribute energy from the air. In the Lost Land, Xu Zhi could feel that it was "breathing" deeply and absorbing the [Cup] in the Lost Land.
However, its aura was too hidden and too weak, so no one could detect it even if it was using all its strength to absorb the extraordinary energy in the air.
After all, the other students were also madly absorbing the extraordinary energy around them.
As we walked deeper into the fog, there was no longer only desolate land around us, but some stones and withered trees gradually appeared.
At first, the stones and dry trees were sparse, but as we walked forward, these dead trees began to increase in number and become taller.
After walking for about an hour, the extraordinary energy around them seemed to become even denser, even to the point where they did not need to actively absorb it, as if they would involuntarily inhale extraordinary energy with every breath. At this moment, they finally saw the first "living thing" since entering the Lost Land.
It was a black crow perched on the top of a dead tree, standing quietly on the slender branch. The students who walked into the Lost Land were reflected in its red pupils. It was neither alert nor interested, as if it had just heard the noise and glanced over casually.
Seeing someone's alert expression, Chu Xiaoyue warned, "Don't provoke it."
This crow is not very powerful, and can even be described as weak. It is easy to kill it, but...
As they walked forward, more and more crows appeared in their sight.
From two or three at the beginning to groups densely packed on the dead branches, they stayed on the branches motionless like sculptures, only moving their eyes and heads when they saw people, but there was no aggression in their eyes.
Even so, the sight of hundreds or even thousands of black crows staring at you silently can be chilling.
The teacher said that if this kind of crow does not attack actively, it will not attack anyone. However, as long as any crow is injured or dies, the entire group will be alarmed, making a loud noise in an instant, and continue to circle over the murderer's head, as if pointing the way to some dangerous existence in the Lost Land.
In short, this thing is like an alarm. If you don't touch it, it's fine. But if you touch it, you will get into big trouble.
There are many creatures in Lost that look harmless and weak, but are actually very troublesome if touched. They are all lessons learned from the blood and tears of our predecessors.
"Fortunately, they don't seem to poop." Tongzhou muttered softly.
Ji Muge didn't collapse and grinned. Xu Zhi also looked at his teammate sideways at his bizarre train of thought.
As if sensing that others were looking at him as if he were a weirdo, Tong Zhou murmured in disbelief, "Doesn't what I said make sense?"
"There are so many crows flying over our heads, we're sure to be covered in shit!"
If you don’t know how to use idioms, you don’t have to say thank you.
But on second thought, what he said makes sense!
Su Ran, who had a mild obsession with mysophobia, couldn't help but get goose bumps from the fantasies in his mind, and quickly drove away the strange fantasies in his mind.
The seven of them walked forward for about an hour, and finally, the crows became fewer and fewer, and the fog did not become thicker as they went deeper. Although obscured by the fog, the visible range was not narrow. Soon, they saw new changes again.
New buds began to grow on some dead trees, and traces of green grass gradually appeared on the ground.
As these traces of "life" gradually emerged, Xu Zhi could feel that the extraordinary energy in the air seemed to be more abundant and "active".
What a wealthy place.
Could it be that in the deepest part of the Lost Land, the extraordinary energy has become so dense that it can be drunk as water?
As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding environment was finally no longer dry, desolate and depressing. With the appearance of green, which represented life, more and more vegetation gradually came into view.
Xu Zhi discovered that the wasteland was like the boundary between the real Lost Land and the real world, dividing the two sides with desolation.
When she walked into the meadow, it seemed as if the true loss was revealed before her.
Living things began to appear more frequently, wandering in the grasslands, bushes, and jungles, with seemingly ordinary but actually extraordinary lives.
According to the teacher, there are no ordinary creatures in the Lost Land. Even the most common and seemingly ordinary butterfly is an extraordinary creature, and its body contains more extraordinary energy than ordinary people in the outside world.
This is simply a treasure land that extraordinary people don’t want to leave once they enter. Just hunting a few prey and taking them out can get a handsome reward.
But this is also the most dangerous place. For example, at this moment, Xu Zhi noticed that the vines hanging on various trees nearby seemed to wriggle subtly as they walked by.
They looked quiet and harmless, but she remembered clearly that Director Xi had warned them.
In Lost Land, nothing is absolutely harmless.
