Chapter 256 Thick Fog (Happy Birthday to Mr. Cai)(1/3)
Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously pulled Guan Ya to his side and said in a serious tone:
"Don't stay away from me!"
The tall mixed-race royal sister was staggered by him. Through a layer of mist, Guan Ya saw Yuan Shi's face solemn and nervous, like a child protecting a beloved toy. That nervous and cautious emotion was completely written in
face.
His reaction was the truest instinctive reaction. He realized after a while that I had a protective suit. According to Yuanshi's character, he would definitely immediately go check the cause of the poor girl's death 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 Yaxin said that I have already seen through this kid like you.
She followed Zhang Yuanqing to the body. At this time, the team members had already completed the preliminary "autopsy" around the girl's body, discussing it with sad faces.
"It was beheaded with a sharp weapon. Ai Ai had no chance to react." Fairy Peony said sadly.
She seems to know this girl named "Ai Ai".
"I was right next to her just now, and I didn't feel any movement. There was no sound of the sword being swung, or the sound of the mist surging." The little fairy from Niulan Mountain with a bun on her head said with a frown.
There is no movement, which is a bit scary
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying thing. Everyone quietly tensed up their nerves and took out their own props to prevent any unexpected events.
Tianxia Guihuo squatted on the ground, examining the head and corpse. While observing, he expressed his analysis:
"The attack should come from the front, beheading instantly. It's strange. The distance between the team members is not big, and there is no room for the "murderer" to wield the sharp blade. But looking at the fracture, the "murderer" has to swing it in a semicircle to see this effect."
"How to judge 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 lying on its back, which means that the throat was attacked and it instinctively leaned back."
Except for the fire master who nodded repeatedly, everyone else was at the captain level. These simple on-site surveys did not require explanation at all.
Jiang Jingwei understood and frowned:
"Everyone was so close just now. If someone came from the front and slashed with a knife, a large area would be killed. Why did she die alone?"
Tianxia Guihuo took out a breath and said: "This is the reason why I can't understand."
You can't hear the enemy, you don't even know how the enemy attacks, but you can kill a level 3 wood demon instantly. This is a bit scary.
Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, with darkness surging in his eyes. In front of everyone, he summoned the remaining spirit body of the corpse and swallowed it in one gulp.
He planned to ask Ling directly to see if there were any clues.
The official practitioners watched silently and no one stopped them.
In this kind of crisis-ridden dungeon, survival is the first priority. As long as the method works, you can have 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 and life in an instant.
"You can't find out the murderer even if you ask the spirit?" Asano Ryo's expression changed.
At this time, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility was getting lower and lower. Even if there were torches, the people around him would become blurry.
Invisible fear brewed in everyone's hearts, and the team had a dispute.
"This fog is weird. The longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes. Leave quickly and it will be safe if you penetrate the thick fog."
"No, we must find out the cause and solve the problem. The dense fog covers a wide area, which affects our exploration of the maze. Moreover, if someone dies on the way, the map will be even more missing."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and finally shouted:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, tell me where you are, and let me decide this matter."
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said:
"First of all, we don't know the frequency of crises. If this frequency is short and the thick fog covers a wide area, then most of our members will be lost before we go 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 others say the same thing, the team members will not be convinced.
But when Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, everyone was willing to obey.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the twenty-three or four-year-old girl with a bun and said:
"Little fairy, you were with Ai Ai before. Did you do anything before she died?"
He wanted to know whether Ai Ai's death was pure bad luck, or whether he accidentally triggered some "mechanism".
The little fairy from Niulan Mountain frowned, thought for a while, shook her head and said:
"Probably not. I didn't pay attention to her deliberately."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, then looked at Tianxiaguihuo, Jiang Jingwei and other fire masters, and said:
"Try to create an explosion and see if you can dissipate the flames."
Hearing this, the fire masters showed extremely strong execution ability. They made a ball of fire with each hand and threw it into the distance.
"boom!"
Explosions sounded one after another, shock waves rolled with red flames, raging in all directions, and the thick fog violently turbulent, like muddy water.
But the vision has not become clearer. The fog here is too thick. The shock wave generated by the explosion just makes the slowly floating fog become chaotic and disorderly.
To disperse the dense fog, fresh air must come in.
I remember that the rain master has the ability to blow wind and rain. If you can have this method, you can blow away the thick fog. No, I want to have the ability of the rain master, so I don’t need to be afraid of the weird fog. Zhang Yuanqing immediately tried a few more times.
There are many methods, but none of them can dispel the mountain fog.
"Yuanshi, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it can't stay 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 is moving forward hand in hand. From now on, keep counting to ensure that no one gets separated or dies. Who is behind Ai Ai? Please report the route."
Everyone acted quickly, holding hands, with Zhang Yuanqing taking the lead.
The team follows the route and counts the numbers at the same time.
"1,2,313,14."
After one death, the total number of people in the team is fourteen.
The second round of counting begins:
"1,2,312,13"
The counting stopped abruptly, and 14 did not sound for a long time.
Everyone's heart sank, and then they heard a trembling voice coming from the end of the team:
"I, I am No. 14, and I was attacked."
The speaker was Yunu Wugua, a young man in his early thirties and a level 3 water ghost.
Everyone quickly gathered around, and several fire masters lit torches to gather as much firelight as possible to enhance visibility.
Zhang Yuanqing asked:
"what happened?"
Yunu Wugua looked horrified, "Just now, I was suddenly attacked. Something cut my neck and knocked out my passiveness."
The water ghost's passive ignores physical attacks.
Without the passivity, Yu Nu Wu Gua would be dead.
"Did you see the attacker? What was the attack method?"
Everyone asked hurriedly.
Yunu Wugua touched her neck and recalled:
"I didn't see the attacker at all, and I didn't feel anything unusual. I just felt a pain in my neck. Then I found that the passive skill was activated. However, I sensed a foreign object invading my body. After my head turned into water, its twitching...
The trajectory of separation is upward.”
up?
The official travelers raised their heads instantly, but all they saw was thick fog.
Zhang Yuanqing shook off his yin-yang robe and draped it on his shoulders. His spirit body came out of his body and floated to the tree crown.
As he neared the canopy, he was blocked again and unable to continue his ascent.
Zhang Yuanqing stuck to the barrier and wandered back and forth under the canopy of trees, looking for the danger hidden among the lush branches and leaves.
The encounter of Yu Nu Wu Gua shows that even a spirit body without a physical body can be immune to damage from attackers.
Zhang Yuanqing made a quick inspection and found no abnormalities, so he immediately descended into the spirit body and returned to the physical body.
"not found!"
His answer made everyone extremely disappointed, and they immediately collapsed.
