Chapter 4 The Grey Fog Encounter
Outside the house was endless gray fog, which slowly flowed, as if it had been eternal.
However, after Colin held a horse lantern and extended it out of the wooden door, the gray fog that seemed to be eternal suddenly melted like rain and snow, forming a safe area with a radius of about five meters.
“It’s really OK.”
Colin nodded secretly and did not go out immediately.
He looked forward for a few seconds and the prompt appeared.
[Although there are some treasures ahead, they seem to be too far away from you. If you don’t want to die on this road, it’s best not to choose this way.]
[Yes, you feel that there is a river on the left, where there are some dangers, but the material is abundant. In this foggy world, food resources are very important.]
[You realize that there are a large number of abnormal lives on the right, and you do not have the ability to face them.]
[The rear is a large area of desolation and barrenness...]
"It seems that after a while, exploring to the left first."
Colin pondered for a moment, withdrew his gaze, turned around and handed the lantern to the slave: "Test it first."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
The slave, under Collin's instructions, shook the lantern at the door, but no matter how it shook, the light was always bright and unmoved.
The existence of the lampshade basically eliminates the possibility of being blown out by the wind.
It can be said that unless Colin twists the shaft on the lantern himself and retracts the wick, it is actually quite difficult to turn off the light.
Colin looked up at the sky again, and there was no luminous object seen above the misty white sky.
This made him wonder if there was a sun in this world.
But at this time, the prompt appears: [You can't see where the light comes from, but you realize that there are still several hours before the night, which is enough to make your lantern burn out many times. You know, the sky is not an obstacle to this action.]
It seems that it will not happen that it will be at night shortly after going out, and Colin nodded secretly.
The night is extremely dangerous. Although I don’t know what will happen, the repeated mention of the advice must definitely indicate its danger.
Regardless of whether he will encounter it in the future, he will definitely not want to encounter it now.
Retract your eyes.
Colin asked the slave to walk out the door.
There was no attack, there was no situation on the chat channel that was said to be cold as soon as you reach out, and nothing seemed to happen.
But Colin knew that once the lights went out, the situation would become terrifying and bloody in an instant.
After delaying for a few minutes and making some more attempts, Colin and Slave II walked into the area covered by the horse lanterns.
"Lord." The slave respectfully handed over the horse lantern.
The effective range of the light of the horse lantern will not be blocked by their bodies, and those holding the horse lantern must need to stand in the middle.
He can't let the lord stand by himself and take risks, right?
Therefore, the person holding the lamp must be the lord.
Colin didn't say anything, and took the ancient horse lantern loaded with dark red blood, holding the lamp in his left hand and the rusty axe in his right hand.
The slave Yi and the slave Yi held long wooden sticks and simple shields made of benches, nervously protecting Colin in the middle.
Within a radius of five meters, the lights were like a barrier. In the thick fog outside the barrier, there seemed to be twisted faces pressing against it, and the dense and hideous eyes were cast on the three of them.
An uncontrollable coldness rose from the tailbone, and the scalp became numb.
At this moment, compared to when he was in the house, Colin, who was in the fog, felt the tremendous pressure in the gray fog.
This pressure was like a mountain, which made Colin's body feel a little stiff. Even if he looked directly at the gray fog, Colin could not get any useful tips, just tell him the tip.
If the light did not return to the house before it went out, then he would die miserably.
But despite his fear, Collin knew that he could not express it, otherwise it would affect the morale he had finally gained.
Taking a few breaths quietly and eased his tight body, Colin stood near the door and waited for about a dozen breaths.
"It seems that it should be fine here. Let's go, follow the plan first and look around." Colin said with a calm expression in his heart.
He does not completely believe in "tips", so he strives to be safe every step.
Influenced by him, the tense bodies of the two slaves also relaxed a lot.
Then, according to the plan before coming out, Colin planned to conduct a investigation around his wooden house.
In this gray fog with a visual distance of no more than ten meters, if anyone runs out from the beginning, it is basically no different from sending death.
Not to mention anything that happened, if you accidentally get lost, you will be able to die in the vast gray fog.
Of course, Colin, who has the prompts, is basically not afraid of this.
In this foggy world, his advantage is too great.
The exploration around was soon over, there was nothing within a few hundred square meters nearby, so I could only explore further.
"No. 2, remember to leave a mark on the ground, step by step, and if you find any abnormality, you must tell it."
After saying that, Collin looked at the slave Yi without waiting for the answer, and added: "So too, beware of the surroundings and do not let go of any subtle changes."
"Yes, Lord Lord." The two responded at the same time.
Colin clicked, looked back at the house behind him. Less than ten meters away, the wooden house was hard to see clearly, leaving only a vague outline.
Taking a deep breath, Colin and others began to grop further away. There was still half a bottle of dark red liquid left in the lantern, which was about fifty minutes.
But it is impossible to use all fifty minutes to explore outwards.
Within twenty-five minutes, Colin must return immediately, regardless of whether he gains or not.
Because it takes time to return.
The time you come out, the time you need to return.
The longer they exceed this timeline, the more urgent the time they return, the lower the fault tolerance rate, and the more dangerous it is.
Moreover, Colin was not worried about not being able to encounter that "distortion". After all, since it is a daily task, it means that even if the number of "distortion" is not large, it will definitely not be as small as possible.
The progress continues.
Colin's pace was neither too fast nor too slow, walking straight on the barren land, and after a few minutes, he saw no obstacles.
In the dim light, all the fog within a radius of five meters dissipates at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, outside the boundary of the limited light, the fog was endless. Just waiting for the last ray of light to disappear, it would swallow them in silence.
A cold wind suddenly blew by, bringing a whimpering sound from the grey fog.
In the unknown fog, it seems that something terrifying suddenly pops out of it at any time and launches a fatal attack on them.
Pikachu, it was Pikachu, a wild Pikachu appeared...Colin teased a few words in his heart to relieve his depression.
However, Colin knew very well that as long as the light was not turned off, he was safe.
Too much worry can only cause yourself to be distracted.
He endured his inner fear, while walking, he silently counted his steps in his heart and built a more three-dimensional map in his brain.
This is just in case.
In such a place, no matter how much preparation is made, even if it is proven to be useless in the end.
The two servants followed him closely, despite the same fear, but did not forget the arrangements that Colin ordered, while vigilant and leaving marks.
Suddenly, Colin suddenly heard the slave say, "Lord, there seems to be something wrong with that pit there!"
Colin turned his head and looked at him. At about ten meters in his left hand, there was a long shallow path.
This shallow road is about half a meter wide and extends into the gray fog. I don’t know where it leads to.
