Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously pulled Guan Ya to his side and said in a serious tone: "Don't stay away from me"
The tall mixed-blood lady staggered when he pulled her. Through a layer of mist, Guan Ya saw that Yuanshi's face was solemn and nervous, like a child protecting his favorite toy. The nervous and cautious emotion was completely written on his face.
His reaction was the most genuine instinctive reaction. He would realize that I had a suit of protection. According to Yuanshi's character, he would immediately check the cause of death of the poor girl and change the subject. "Sister Guan Ya, be careful. I'll go see what's going on." Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice. Sure enough... Guan Ya thought to herself, I've seen through you.
She followed Zhang Yuanqing to the body. At this time, the team members had already surrounded the girl's body and completed the preliminary "autopsy". They were discussing with heavy faces. "She was beheaded by a sharp weapon. Ai Ai didn't have any chance to react." Peony Fairy said sadly. She seemed to know this girl named "Ai Ai".
"I was right next to her just now, and I didn't feel any movement, the sound of a knife swinging, or the sound of fog surging, nothing at all." The little fairy from Niulanshan with a bun on her head frowned.
There was no movement, which was a bit scary.
Unknown enemies are the most terrifying. All the Spirit Realm travelers quietly tensed their nerves and took out their own props to prevent any accidents. Tianxia Guihuo squatted on the ground, examining the head and corpse, and while observing, he gave his own analysis:
"The attack should have come from the front, heading instantly. Strangely, the gap between the team members was not big, leaving no room for the "murderer" to swing the blade. But looking at the cut, the "murderer" must have swung in a semicircle to see this effect."
"How do you determine that the attack is coming from the front?" Jiang Jingwei was puzzled.
Guan Ya explained in a low voice: "If the attack comes from behind, the body will fall forward due to inertia when walking. But now the body is falling on its back, which means that the throat was attacked and it instinctively leaned back."
Except for the Fire Master who silently repeatedly, the other Spirit Realm Walkers were all captain-level. These simple on-site inspections did not require explanations from others. Jiang Jingwei understood and frowned:
"We were so close just now. If someone swung a knife at us from the front, a lot of people would have died. Why did she die alone?" Tianxia Guihuo exhaled and said, "This is why I can't figure it out."
It was a bit scary to be able to kill a level 3 wood demon in seconds without being able to hear the enemy, or even know how the enemy attacked. Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, darkness surging in his eyes, and in front of everyone, he summoned the spirit of the corpse and swallowed it in one gulp. He planned to ask the spirit directly to see if there were any clues. The official walkers watched silently, and no one stopped him.
In this dangerous dungeon, survival is the first task, and as long as the method works, there can be a flexible moral bottom line. Ten seconds later, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and shook his head.
Ai Ai didn't know how she died, she just lost consciousness in an instant and lost her life. "Even if we ask the spirit, we can't find the murderer." Asano Ryo's face changed.
At this time, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and visibility was getting lower and lower. Even with torches, the people around them became blurry. Invisible fear was brewing in everyone's hearts, and a dispute broke out in the team.
"This fog is strange. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be. Leave now and you will be safe once you get through the thick fog."
"No, we must find out the reason and solve the problem. The thick fog covers a wide area and affects our exploration of the maze. Moreover, if someone dies during the journey, the map will be even more damaged."
Both sides held their own opinions, and finally shouted:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, where are you? Speak up. You will decide this matter." Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said:
"First, we don't know how often crises come. If the frequency is short and the fog covers a wide area, then most of the members will be killed before we get out." "Being an ostrich will not solve the problem. My suggestion is to deal with the crisis before moving on." At this time, the benefits of reputation are highlighted. If the same words are said by others, the team members will not be convinced. But when Yuanshi Tianzun speaks, everyone is willing to obey.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the 23-24-year-old girl with a bun and said, "Little fairy, you were by Ai Ai's side before. Did you do anything before she died?" He wanted to know whether Ai Ai's death was pure bad luck or some "trap" was accidentally triggered. The Niulanshan fairy frowned, thought for a while, and shook her head, saying, "Probably not. I didn't pay much attention to her."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, then looked at Tianxia Guihuo, Jiang Jingwei and other fire masters and said, "Try to create an explosion to see if you can disperse the flames."
Upon hearing this, the fire masters showed great execution, rubbing their hands together to form a fireball and throwing it far away.
Explosions sounded one after another, and shock waves rolled up with red flames, raging in all directions, and the thick fog was violently shaking, like muddy water.
But the vision did not become clear. The fog here was too thick. The shock wave generated by the explosion only made the slowly floating fog chaotic and disordered. In order to disperse the thick fog, fresh air must come in.
I remember that the Rain Master has the ability to make wind and rain. If I have this ability, I can blow away the thick fog. No, if I have the ability of the Rain Master, I don't need to be afraid of strange fog... Zhang Yuanqing immediately tried several other methods, but none of them could dispel the mountain fog. "Yuanshi, the fog is getting thicker and thicker. We can't stay here any longer."
Guan Ya looked around and found that the fog was so thick that she could hardly see the people around her. Zhang Yuanqing nodded silently and said loudly:
"Everyone hold hands and move forward. From now on, keep counting to ensure that no one gets separated or dies... Who is behind Ai Ai? Report the route."
Everyone moved quickly, holding hands, with Zhang Yuanqing leading the way. The team counted as they moved forward along the route. "1, 2, ... 13, 14."
After one person died, the total number of people in the team was 14. The second round of counting began: "1, 2, 3... 12, 13..." The counting stopped abruptly, and 14 was not heard for a long time.
Everyone's heart sank, and then they heard a trembling voice from the end of the team, "I, I'm number 14, I've been attacked.
The person who was speaking was Yu Nu Wu Gua, a young man in his early thirties, a level 3 water ghost.
Everyone quickly gathered around, and several fire masters lit torches, trying to gather the light to enhance visibility. Zhang Yuanqing asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Nu Wu Gua looked terrified, "Just now, I was suddenly attacked, something cut my neck, and my passive skill was triggered." The passive skill of the water ghost ignores physical attacks. If it weren't for the passive skill, Yu Nu Wu Gua would have been dead.
"Did you see the attacker? What was his method of attack?" they asked hurriedly. Yu Nu Wu Gua touched her neck and recalled
"I didn't see the attacker at all, nor did I feel anything unusual. I just felt a pain in my neck, and then I found that my passive skill was activated... However, I sensed that a foreign object had invaded my body. After my head turned into water, its trajectory of withdrawal was upwards." Upward
The official walkers raised their heads instantly, but all they saw was thick fog. Zhang Yuanqing shook open his Yin-Yang robe, draped it over his shoulders, and his spirit left his body, floating towards the treetops. When he approached the treetops, he was blocked again and could not continue to rise.
Zhang Yuanqing followed the barrier and floated back and forth under the tree canopy, looking for danger hidden among the lush and leaves. The experience of Yu Nu Wu Gua showed that spirits without a physical body can also be immune to the harm of attackers. Zhang Yuanqing quickly inspected the circle and found nothing unusual, so he immediately sank his spirit body and returned to his physical body. "Nothing was found"
His answer disappointed everyone, and they soon collapsed.
This invisible enemy is more difficult to deal with than the Tree King, which at least can be seen and touched, and the danger is clearly in front of us. "This won't work. We don't have the passive ability of the Water Ghost. If we are targeted, we will definitely die." Baihu Wansui frowned. Tianxia Guihuo pondered:
"I calculated the time. From Ai Ai's death to Yu Nu Wu Gua's attack, there was a five-minute interval. If this is the frequency of danger, then the next attack will come in five minutes." The official walkers were silent. They were like lambs to be slaughtered, silently waiting for death to come. The next one might be me.
Only the official practitioners are of high quality, strong discipline, and can keep their composure. If it were the independent practitioners, they would probably have already had a dispute and fallen into mental exhaustion. Zhang Yuanqing approached Guan Ya and whispered in her ear: "Is what Yu Nu Wu Gua said true?" Guan Ya's ears felt hot and she frowned:
"Judging from his tone, it should be true, but I can't see his face clearly and can't observe. At this time, the Peony Fairy took a deep breath:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, what should we do now? I will listen to you no matter what you say." Everyone looked at the captain in silence, who was only a silhouette in the thick fog. There was no clear captain position in the copy, but Yuanshi Tianzun was the recognized captain.
This is my life. Zhang Yuanqing was under great pressure. He looked around and said, "Keep going!"
Keep moving forward... Everyone sighed in their hearts. To continue moving forward would mean doing nothing. It seemed that Yuanshi Tianzun had no other tricks left.
The team walked through the maze forest with heavy and slow steps. The thick fog obscured the view, and the road was not visible, let alone the forks in the road. In order not to go wrong, Zhang Yuanqing asked his colleague Tuguai to walk in the front.
They can effectively distinguish how many roads there are at a fork in the road. "Two minutes." Someone in the team suddenly said.
Three more minutes... Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself, actively thinking about how to deal with the situation.
After Ai Ai died, Zhang Yuanqing first thought that the crisis came from the copy, but when several investigations failed, he turned his suspicion to the traitor of Dark Night Rose.
Could it be that the thick fog simply obscured the view and increased the difficulty of the maze? Was it a traitor who took advantage of the copy to kill people secretly? So he proposed holding hands and counting, all to limit the possible existence of traitors. But now it seems that the possibility of traitors killing people is not high. "Three minutes." Someone else said. Zhang Yuanqing's mind was turning quickly:
"At present, we can only conclude that the attacker attacks once every five minutes. If we want to discover more patterns, we have to continue to observe. Every observation is a life, and we can't afford such consumption..."
"The danger comes from the treetops, but I didn't find anything unusual. I couldn't tell if Yu Nu Wu Gua was lying. The fog was too thick, and Guan Ya couldn't see his face clearly..." "How did the attacker hide? The attack method was also unclear, but one thing is certain, that is, it was related to the strange fog. The danger comes from the fog..." Thinking of this, a face suddenly jumped out of Zhang Yuanqing's mind. -Li Xianzong!
The thick fog at this moment brought back an unpleasant memory for him. He was once trapped in the thick fog in his aunt's hospital and suffered a lot. He was almost beaten into autism. This is a typical stress disorder. Wait!
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized what was going on with the thick fog in the maze forest. In the introduction to the side quest, it was mentioned that the power of the evil cultivators had infiltrated the forest, and the road to the top of the mountain was full of dangers. Mountain God was the name of the earth monster after the job change, so what was the job of the evil cultivator? It was the Bewitching Demon! Because after the Bewitching Demon's first job change, which was the name of the Saint Realm, it was called the Lord of Fog! "Four minutes..."
The person who tells the time has a low voice.
Everyone in the team was in a state of solemnity, their muscles tensed and alert. In one minute, the attacker hiding in the dark would make his move. However, Zhang Yuanqing was in high spirits.
Once you understand the details of the crisis, it will be much easier to think about how to deal with it.
I remember that when I fought with Li Xianzong in the hospital, he judged my position based on the flow of fog, and the attacker must have done the same. So, as long as we don't move, can we avoid the crisis? Let's give it a try... Zhang Yuanqing stopped and shouted, "Stop, everyone." The team stopped accordingly.
Zhang Yuanqing did not give them a chance to ask questions. He said, "From now on, don't move. Slow down your breathing. It's best not to breathe at all. Don't make any noise. Don't ask why. Just believe me and do it."
If there is still a death, then the attacker has the same facial features as the copy, and is a traitor. In this case, use Guan Ya's mask to investigate.
As expected, the team members did not ask any questions. They held their breath and did not move. They counted the time silently, and every second was extremely painful. Finally, five minutes were up. The team still remained motionless. Half a minute later, they heard Yuanshi Tianzun say: "Start counting" "1,2,...13,14." In this round, no one died.
The spirit realm walkers of the lawful camp were divided into three groups, each heading towards a mountain path.
The team led by Zhao Chenghuang, with 23 people, was walking silently through the dark forest.
The paths under their feet were crisscrossed and connected in all directions. If they took the wrong turn at any fork in the road, this team of officials and independent cultivators would be trapped in the maze forest. The method they used was the same as Zhang Yuanqing's team. Each person remembered part of the route, and 23 brains remembered the maze route together. Because of the advantage in numbers, some people remembered the same route, which could effectively prevent someone from accidentally dying and causing the route to be lost.
The chaotic footsteps echoed in the quiet dense forest, and the layers of leaves and branches would occasionally make a rustling sound due to the night wind, making the silence even more eerie.
Several fire masters held up their "torches" and made selfless contributions to bring light to everyone. As they walked, Sun Miaomiao frowned and whispered, "The yin energy nearby has increased."
Zhao Chenghuang said “hmm” and said, “It seems that there are other dangers in the maze. If it is a vengeful spirit, it would be easy.” There are eight night-wandering gods here, and even a vengeful spirit at the saint level can be scared to death.
Sun Miaomiao was about to speak when she suddenly saw a dark shadow hanging on the treetop in front of her.
Looking closely, it was a hanged corpse, wearing a gray mountaineering suit, hanging straight in the air, dead for a long time. The face of the corpse was covered with corpse spots, the skin was blue-gray, the eyes were closed, and the appearance was extremely scary. "Hey, there seems to be a corpse over there."
The lawful walkers behind saw the hanged ghost hanging in the air by the light of the torches. "It looks like a climber. Uh, I saw a climber in the outer layer, but I didn't expect there would be one in the maze." "Be careful, the climber is not from our mountain god camp." Everyone approached slowly and cautiously.
Suddenly, the corpse hanging on the treetop opened its eyes. Its pupils were blood-red, and there were twisted and strange runes in the pupils.
Sun Miaomiao felt a "boom" in her brain, as if she was hit on the head with a stick, and lost all consciousness. The next moment, her sluggish pupils regained their brightness, and she broke free from the dizziness. At the critical moment, she transferred all the negative influence to the spirit servant.
Is it the Eye of Bewitching? Is this corpse affected by the power of evil cultivators? As Sun Miaomiao was thinking, she heard heavy breathing coming from beside and behind her. She was startled and looked back.
The lawful walkers behind her had distorted expressions, heavy breathing, and a desire to kill flashing in their red eyes. On her side, except for the Maoshan sorcerer, Yuan Ting, and Zhao Chenghuang, who completed the extreme operation (letting the spirit servant take the blame), the other night wandering gods were all caught. 1 "These guys have been bewitched."
The soldier who crossed the river came over with a serious expression. Apart from Sun Miaomiao and the other three, he was the only one who was sober.
As Xiao Qingyang, no one can sneak attack under his nose, even a corpse. "What should I do?" said the Maoshan sorcerer.
Zhao Chenghuang's expression was grim. "Try to control them and try not to kill them." "Just the five of us," the Maoshan sorcerer glared. Zhao Chenghuang looked at him and said, "You have no choice." Yes, fourteen people
After hearing the count, the team members almost didn't react.
They had already prepared themselves mentally for the sacrifice of their colleagues, but they didn't expect it to be a peaceful "Christmas Eve?" The excitement spread among the crowd, the heavy mood faded, and joy returned to their faces.
"No, no one died... No one died this time."
Smooth sailing
Fairy Peony personally counted the number of people and confirmed that there were fourteen people and that all of them were still alive. Asano Ryo also counted them.
The Japanese JK and the young woman Mudan were both surprised: "How do you know that you won't be attacked if you stand still?" Guan Ya and Tian Xia Gui Huo seemed to be thinking about something.
The official practitioners all looked towards Yuanshi Tianzun, their eyes filled with expectation.
Yuanshi Tianzun must have already overcome the thick fog crisis, so no more people will die in the future.
ps: The typos will be updated first and corrected later. I wish Mr. Cai a happy birthday and a prosperous business. Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously pulled Guan Ya to his side and said in a serious tone: "Don't stay away from me"
The tall mixed-blood lady staggered when he pulled her. Through a layer of mist, Guan Ya saw that Yuanshi's face was solemn and nervous, like a child protecting his favorite toy. The nervous and cautious emotion was completely written on his face.
His reaction was the most genuine instinctive reaction. He would realize that I had a suit of protection. According to Yuanshi's character, he would immediately check the cause of death of the poor girl and change the subject. "Sister Guan Ya, be careful. I'll go see what's going on." Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice. Sure enough... Guan Ya thought to herself, I've seen through you.
She followed Zhang Yuanqing to the body. At this time, the team members had already surrounded the girl's body and completed the preliminary "autopsy". They were discussing with heavy faces. "She was beheaded by a sharp weapon. Ai Ai didn't have any chance to react." Peony Fairy said sadly. She seemed to know this girl named "Ai Ai".
"I was right next to her just now, and I didn't feel any movement, the sound of a knife swinging, or the sound of fog surging, nothing at all." The little fairy from Niulanshan with a bun on her head frowned.
There was no movement, which was a bit scary.
Unknown enemies are the most terrifying. All the Spirit Realm practitioners quietly tensed their nerves and took out their own props to prevent any accidents. Tianxia Guihuo squatted on the ground, examining the head and corpse, and while observing, he gave his own analysis:
"The attack should have come from the front, beheading instantly. Strangely, the gap between the team members was not big, leaving no room for the "murderer" to swing the blade. But looking at the cut, the "murderer" must have swung in a semicircle to see this effect."
"How do you determine that the attack is coming from the front?" Jiang Jingwei was puzzled.
Guan Ya explained in a low voice: "If the attack comes from behind, the body will fall forward due to inertia when walking. But now the body is falling on its back, which means that the throat was attacked and it instinctively leaned back."
Except for the Fire Master who nodded repeatedly, the other Spirit Realm Walkers were all captain-level. These simple on-site inspections did not require explanations from others. Jiang Jingwei understood and frowned:
"We were so close just now. If someone swung a knife at us from the front, a lot of people would have died. Why did she die alone?" Tianxia Guihuo exhaled and said, "This is why I can't figure it out."
It was a bit scary to be able to kill a level 3 wood demon in seconds without being able to hear the enemy, or even know how the enemy attacked. Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, darkness surging in his eyes, and in front of everyone, he summoned the spirit of the corpse and swallowed it in one gulp. He planned to ask the spirit directly to see if there were any clues. The official walkers watched silently, and no one stopped him.
In this dangerous dungeon, survival is the first priority. As long as the method works, there can be a flexible moral bottom line. Ten seconds later, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and shook his head.
Ai Ai didn't know how she died, she just lost consciousness in an instant and lost her life. "Even if we ask the spirit, we can't find the murderer." Asano Ryo's face changed.
At this time, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and visibility was getting lower and lower. Even with torches, the people around them became blurry. Invisible fear was brewing in everyone's hearts, and a dispute broke out in the team.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, then looked at Tianxia Guihuo, Jiang Jingwei and other fire masters and said, "Try to create an explosion to see if you can disperse the flames."

Explosions sounded one after another, and shock waves rolled up with red flames, raging in all directions, and the thick fog was violently shaking, like muddy water.

Sun Miaomiao was about to speak when she suddenly saw a dark shadow hanging on the treetop in front of her.
Looking closely, it was a hanged corpse, wearing a gray mountaineering suit, hanging straight in the air, dead for a long time. The face of the corpse was covered with corpse spots, the skin was blue-gray, the eyes were closed, and the appearance was extremely scary. "Hey, there seems to be a corpse over there."
The lawful walkers behind saw the hung ghost hanging in the air by the light of the torches. "It looks like a climber. Uh, I saw a climber in the outer layer, but I didn't expect there would be one in the maze." "Be careful, the climber is not from our mountain god camp." Everyone approached slowly and cautiously.
Suddenly, the corpse hanging on the treetop opened its eyes. Its pupils were blood-red, and there were twisted and strange runes in the pupils.
Sun Miaomiao felt a "boom" in her brain, as if she was hit on the head with a stick, and lost all consciousness. The next moment, her sluggish pupils regained their brightness, and she broke free from the dizziness. At the critical moment, she transferred all the negative influence to the spirit servant.
Is it the Eye of Bewitching? Is this corpse affected by the power of evil cultivators? As Sun Miaomiao was thinking, she heard heavy breathing coming from beside and behind her. She was startled and looked back.
The lawful walkers behind she had distorted expressions, heavy breathing, and a desire to kill flashing in their red eyes. On her side, except for the Maoshan sorcerer, Yuan Ting, and Zhao Chenghuang, who completed the extreme operation (letting the spirit servant take the blame), the other night wandering gods were all caught. 1 "These guys have been bewitched."
The soldier who crossed the river came over with a serious expression. Apart from Sun Miaomiao and the other three, he was the only one who was sober.
As Xiao Qingyang, no one can sneak attack under his nose, even a corpse. "What should I do?" said the Maoshan sorcerer.
Zhao Chenghuang's expression was grim. "Try to control them and try not to kill them." "Just the five of us," the Maoshan sorcerer glared. Zhao Chenghuang looked at him and said, "You have no choice." Yes, fourteen people
After hearing the count, the team members almost didn't react.
They had already prepared themselves mentally for the sacrifice of their colleagues, but they didn't expect it to be a peaceful "Christmas Eve?" The excitement spread among the crowd, the heavy mood faded, and joy returned to their faces.
"No, no one died... No one died this time."
Smooth sailing
Fairy Peony personally counted the number of people and confirmed that there were fourteen people and that all of them were still alive. Asano Ryo also counted them.
The Japanese JK and the young woman Mudan were both surprised: "How do you know that you won't be attacked if you stand still?" Guan Ya and Tian Xia Gui Huo seemed to be thinking about something.
The official practitioners all looked towards Yuanshi Tianzun, their eyes filled with expectation.
Yuanshi Tianzun must have already overcome the thick fog crisis, so no more people will die in the future.
ps: I will update the typos first and then correct them. I wish Mr. Cai a happy birthday and a prosperous business.
