There is nothing wrong with being funny, but the prerequisite is to see who it is used on. Seeing Chen Xiaoyao's prompt and respectful response, while maintaining a deadpan expression, Zhao Ping asked a question: "Do you have any marking methods?"
"Huh? What Senior Zhao means is..."
"I mean, do you have any means or techniques to prevent everyone from getting lost?"
As mentioned in the above conversation, in order to be as foolproof as possible, Zhao Ping has been thinking and analyzing a certain problem, and the problem is undoubtedly lost!
The forest is so big that the actual area has exceeded the pre-estimated area. Faced with such a huge forest and the dim internal environment, it is easy to imagine that it is easy to enter, but what if you get lost? How will you get out then?
Of course, there are solutions. For example, the most simple communicator or compass and other auxiliary tools can help everyone get out of trouble. However! The above are only applicable to ordinary situations. It is different here. This is the world of supernatural missions. It is 100%.
There are hundreds of dangerous worms in the world, and the forest in front of you is too weird. Unless you are a newcomer, senior people with certain experience will always subconsciously think of signal blocking and supernatural interference.
Therefore, in order to prevent communication failure after entering, it is impossible for the man with glasses not to prepare early. This is true, but it is also true. After confirming that the forest is huge and impossible to count, the man has been thinking about how to deal with it. However, after thinking for a long time, he finally
With no results and nothing to do, Zhao Ping had no choice but to ask Chen Xiaoyao, hoping that the Maoshan Taoist priest in front of him, who always claimed to be an 'expert', could come up with a solution.
Then……
Chen Xiaoyao smiled, and after understanding the meaning of the glasses man's words, he immediately acted like a 'foreign expert', and then shook his sleeves and nodded in agreement: "Ah, it turns out that Senior Zhao is worried about this, and why?"
Don't tell me, you really asked the right person. Although the poor Taoist has limited Taoism and low abilities, we Maoshan Taoists do have a skill and means to deal with getting lost in the wild."
After that, without waiting for Zhao Ping to ask, the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao took off his backpack and squatted down to rummage through it. Finally, he took out a linen bag. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with glutinous rice. No, it was not ordinary glutinous rice.
But a bag of red glutinous rice.
Bloody black rice!
Yes, it is blood black rice. Maybe Kong Ling and others who boarded the train late did not know red glutinous rice, but Zhao Ping and Peng Hu were quite impressed by it. It was the one that Chen Xiaoyao first used when he performed his first supernatural mission.
Maoshan props, famous in that scene
In the mission called "The Road of Yin and Yang", I successfully expelled the following lonely souls. Due to the small power and limitations, Chen Xiaoyao has never used it since then. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Taoist Chen actually took out it again today.
Got his bag of old rice!
Is it possible...
"Hey, don't underestimate this bag of rice. Expelling ghosts is just a side function of this thing. Its main ability is to point out the direction and prevent getting lost. The specific method of use is..."
"Huh? Wait, what is that?"
Many times, accidents happen suddenly. As with accidents, so do surprises.
At the edge of the woods, when Taoist Chen was pointing his finger at the rice bag to explain its use, a sound erupted from the crowd. For some reason, Li Tianheng, who had just been looking around in boredom, suddenly changed his expression and his eyes widened, and then he shouted decisively in front of his finger, with obvious joy in his words,
His expression was quite excited.
The reason? The reason is very simple, that’s because...
He just saw something, discovered something, and when he glanced at the forest ahead, he accidentally saw something white.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was a white card with the Arabic numeral 1 printed on it.
At this moment, card No. 1 is attached to the surface of a big tree near the edge of the woods!
………
What is the purpose of the executors willing to take risks and go to the forest in groups?
Looking for cards of course!
The curse has clearly stated that there are 8 cards in the forest near the farm, scattered inside the forest, and each card has Arabic numerals written on it, from 1 to 8, a total of eight cards. As long as the executor collects all the cards
Card, then it will be equivalent to directly completing the task and collectively teleporting back to the hell train without passing the 7-day time limit.
The mission information is absolutely clear, and the curse settings are not false. I thought that collecting cards would be a difficult task, but God made a joke to everyone. Before the crowd officially entered the forest, the executors just gathered in the forest.
At the edge, a digital card came into view clearly, and Li Tianheng saw it unintentionally.
The sudden discovery made Li Tianheng instantly overjoyed. In his joy, the young man did not bother to listen to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation of his old rice. Instead, he instinctively shouted a reminder, pointing his fingers at each other to remind everyone.
The result was predictable. When Li Tianheng shouted this, the crowd turned around and subconsciously looked at the location pointed by the young man. Then, everyone's eyes, including Zhao Ping's, shone brightly.
That was a card. A pure white card with numbers written on it was attached to a big tree at some point. The big tree was located exactly at the edge of the woods, only 10 meters away from everyone!
Card No. 1 appeared in front of everyone in an inexplicable way. It was indeed inexplicable. First of all, you must understand that the executor has been staying in the same place and has not moved in the past ten minutes. During this period, Zhao Ping stared at the woods for a long time.
If there was a card nearby, Zhao Ping would have discovered it long ago, but what about the fact? The fact is that the card was not seen at first, but suddenly appeared when everyone turned around to listen to Chen Xiaoyao boasting about old rice?
(Where did this thing come from?)
The above were the first questions that came to mind after discovering the card. Peng Hu was like this, Kong Ling was like this, and Zhou Bingbing was like this. Chen Xiaoyao, who just pointed at the glutinous rice to show off, was stunned for a moment, and then
Looking forward to it
Zhu stared ahead. There was no doubt that everyone could see the card clearly. A card with the number 1 clearly written on it was stuck to the tree and came into view. Because the shape of the card was too obvious, even the always cautious Zhao Ping
They are basically certain that they saw it correctly.
but……
To be on the safe side, the bespectacled man took precautions while watching, slowly turning his head and looking at Kong Ling and Chen Xiaoyao behind him.
The biggest characteristic of smart people often comes from their extremely strong understanding. Sure enough, after receiving the signal from the man's eyes, he didn't need to speak to specifically remind him. The next moment, Chen Xiaoyao took out a silver leaf without saying a word, a silver willow leaf stained with blood.
, and then he took the silver leaf and wiped it on his eyelids.
Just when Chen Taoist Liu Ye wiped his eyes, Kong Ling also closed his eyes and opened them. Although it was just a simple eye-closing action on the surface, however, as he opened his eyes again, the girl's appearance suddenly changed. She saw before
The girl, who was still cute and sweet, suddenly had a horrifying expression and her eyes were bleeding. In addition to two lines of blood and tears slowly flowing along the eye sockets, the pupils of her eyes turned pure white after opening her eyelids!
Eyes of Heaven!
Eyes that can see through all disguises in the world, a pair of eyes that can distinguish authenticity under any circumstances. Unfortunately, there are gains and losses. It is true that the power of the Sky Eye is extremely powerful, but the ethereal girl who is just a weak girl cannot bear the consequences of using the Sky Eye.
Due to the side effects and excessive consumption, Kong Ling is usually reluctant to use it easily. To be honest, if Zhao Ping hadn't deliberately requested it this time, she wouldn't have used her ability even if it was Potian.
"Ah! Ethereal, you, your eyes..."
Facing unknown things, especially strange phenomena, except for some people who know it, human beings have basically the same reaction. For senior Zhao Pingping, who is familiar with the girl, they know that it is the eye of the sky, but in Zhou Bingbing's eyes, it seems to be
Horrible phenomenon, witnessed in the eyes of a girl
The woman's eyes suddenly changed, and the woman was frightened and backed away. She hid directly behind Peng Hu. While hiding, she stammered and asked for the reason. She was frightened and confused, but no one paid attention to her at the scene. At this moment, everyone
Everyone is staring at the void, their eyes full of questions.
Then……
"Woo."
The white pupils stared at the card for a few seconds. After letting out a low moan, the girl closed her eyes and returned to normal. As her ability ended, she opened her eyes again, not caring to wipe away the blood and tears. During her breath, Kong Ling nodded directly to Zhao Ping and responded.
: "No problem, there are only trees and cards in the field of vision."
Likewise, as the girl announced her observation results, Chen Xiaoyao nodded in agreement and said, "I can't see anything here either."
After getting the exact same answer from the two people, Zhao Ping was determined!
Yes, this is Zhao Ping, this is the indifferent man who has always been too cautious. There is no doubt that he did see the cards just like everyone else at the scene, and he saw them when he saw them.
He was the only person at the scene who didn't show his joy first. If Li Tianheng, who was the first to discover the card, first reacted with joy, and most of the others were delighted, then the first thing that popped up in Zhao Ping's mind was suspicion, and the worry and suspicion were so strong that they couldn't be more intense!
The logic is very simple. Not long ago, I was staring at the woods for a long time. There were no cards nearby, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere when everyone turned around to talk? Is this possible? Is it reasonable? Since I know it is unreasonable, I need to do what I need to do.
The most important thing is to distinguish the authenticity.
After all, everyone knows that there are locusts in supernatural missions, and locusts often have all kinds of strange abilities. It is not difficult to release an illusion or make a disguise. Because of this, in order to prevent locust traps, it is necessary for men with glasses.
Find out what is true and what is false.
As a result, whether it was Chen Xiaoyao, who mastered Maoshan Taoism, or Kong Ling, who had the psychic eye, their answers were consistent, and there was nothing unusual about them. They were neither hallucinations nor disguises.
"Huh? Really? The cards are actually real? Damn! This is really unpredictable. I didn't expect that one of the cards appeared on its own before we even entered the forest, haha! Good luck, good luck.
!”
"And Li Tianheng, you have a good eye, and you have seen all this."
"Where is it? Brother Peng has won the prize. I only discovered it accidentally. After all, the color of the card is too obvious and can be seen from a long distance. Even if I don't notice it, others will notice it sooner or later."
As a person with a straightforward personality, Peng Hu is not as expressive as Zhao Ping. Sure enough, after learning from his teammates that the card was real, the bald man was overjoyed and hurriedly praised Li Tianheng next to him. Faced with the exaggeration,
The young man with the glitch was honest, and he directly pointed out the fact in a humble tone. Yes, a white card suddenly popped up in a dark forest. Unless it was highly myopic, anyone could easily see it.
Let's get back to the topic, after confirming that the card is genuine, the next thing is simple. First they looked at each other for a few times, and then, without any reminder, the crowd moved, and under the leadership of Zhao Ping, they all moved towards the opposite card.
As for worrying about getting lost earlier?
There is no need, there is no need to worry at all. After all, the card is already posted on the edge of the forest, and it is only 10 meters away from the executor. You can imagine what the big deal is if you just touch the edge without going deep into the forest.
?In addition, the cards are real, and their purpose is to collect cards. How can they let go of such an important item that is so close at hand?
Let’s put aside the problem of getting lost for now, no matter what, get the cards first!
So, with a feeling of rejoicing, everyone left the edge and approached the woods, collectively walking towards the fir tree with the card on it.
They came closer and took a closer look, until the distance shrank and they were very close, they realized that the number card in Curse's mouth was basically an ordinary piece of cardboard, about the same size as a playing card. The biggest difference was that there were only numbers in the center of the card, and the rest of the card was filled with numbers.
is blank.
At this moment, looking at the strange card with the number 1 written on it in front of them, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then began to wonder if the curse was just a pain in the ass, deliberately making a few cards and throwing them into the forest to tease themselves, but then again, even if it was a tease,
, what can you do? In the end, you have to follow the requirements and search obediently? If you can’t collect 8 pieces, you won’t be able to complete the task and return alive.
Of course, the above is by no means the key point. The key point is that the No. 1 card has been found. The crowd stared at it for a long time. After confirming that the card was not weird, they nodded. Zhao Ping raised his arm and touched the tree body, and finally attached it to the tree body.
The cards are easily removed.
Bah.
Hearing a soft squeaking sound, the next moment, the card fell into Zhao Ping's hands with everyone's eyes full of joy.
then……
Sudden change!
There was no sign, no reason, in a blink of an eye, just as the bespectacled man took off the card, the moment the card fell from the tree and fell into his hand, Zhao Ping felt something. No, he was not the only one who noticed it.
It was everyone who gathered around the tree who noticed something strange!
The field of vision is blurred instantly, and the perception is greatly attenuated. As the field of vision is blurred and the perception is weakened, the originally awake brain also becomes dizzy. A sudden and inexplicable feeling of dizziness also instantly surrounds the brain and covers the consciousness!
Ding!
At this moment, Zhao Ping's expression suddenly changed, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat as if he had discovered some kind of terrifying crisis. His hair was standing on end. Yes, although his brain was dizzy and he had almost no sense, his briefly awake soul consciousness suddenly burst out.
Early warning signal, sending out warning information quickly, thus prompting him to act without thinking
While thinking, he understood something, understood something, and because of his understanding, he was the first to notice it. As soon as the dizziness hit, the man stretched his arms forward with all his strength, and when the power disappeared, he held the card and pressed it against the tree.
He kept his heart beating wildly and tried to recover, trying to stick the cards in his hand back to the tree!
Unfortunately, it's too late. It's too late after all. The reason comes from nerve conduction.
I believe that most people who are proficient in biology know that human movements come from brain instructions, and the specific implementation depends on the body's nerves. Yes, only nerve conduction can mobilize the limbs to make movements. The process time is extremely short, as short as zero points.
A few seconds, after all, human actions are quite subsonic, and their speed is so fast that it cannot be captured by the naked eye.
Seeing this, some people may ask, that is, since human nerve conduction is so fast, why is it too late for Zhao Ping? Why is there not enough time to put the card in his hand back to the nearby tree?
The answer is simple, because the perception disappears faster than the nerve conduction speed!!!
The ending is predictable...
When Lightning's outstretched arm was about to touch the tree body 5 centimeters away, and when the card in his hand was about to stick back to the tree body, Zhao Ping lost his strength and consciousness, and his whole body, both his brain glasses and all the nerves in his body, instantly stagnated.
In this way, it becomes calm in an instant, and the consequence of calm is undoubtedly that the brain goes into sleep. Once the brain goes into sleep, the whole person will naturally fall into a coma!
(Damn it, I was fooled. No wonder even Maoshan Taoism and psychic eyes can't see it. It turns out that the danger does not come from illusion or disguise, but from the mechanism!)
(I didn’t expect that the card actually has such a terrifying mechanism, such a clever mechanism, such an unexpected trap, a trap that is 100% unavoidable, even if the gods are present, there is no way to avoid it!)
(This is troublesome...)
Annoyed, angry, but it's natural, trembling, scared, but knowing that there is no solution.
The above were the last thoughts that came to Zhao Ping's mind before he fell into coma. In addition to sighing in his brain, he also saw a scene in his eyes and witnessed the reactions of his teammates around him.
He saw that Peng Hu seemed to be about to take off, and seemed to be running in a hurry, trying to get away from the big tree and return to the starting point before he passed out.
He saw Li Tianheng shaking in panic, obviously about to fall down because he couldn't bear the dizziness.
He saw Chen Xiaoyao taking out Taoist talismans with extremely quick movements, trying to escape from coma through Taoist magic.
He saw Zhou Bingbing stunned on the spot, with a horrified expression on her face, and one hand holding Peng Hu tightly by her side.
Only...
Only Kong Ling reacted calmly. Under the dizziness of the lightning strike, at the moment when she was about to fall into coma, the girl did not run away or struggle. She just stood there and waited silently as before. Her appearance did not change, and her expression did not change.
Unchanged and worth checking out
What's important is that, whether it was caused by dizziness or a brain delusion, when he looked at the girl, the girl seemed to look at him specifically, and then shrugged slightly and sighed silently in the man's slightly puzzled eyes, as if he had known it would be like this.
His expression made a helpless gesture.
Then, the world began to spin, and there was no perception, until the whole world was silent.
………
"Gah, gah!"
Hula la.
The cries of crows soared over the forest, and the deep coldness constantly stimulated the numb body. As time passed, Zhao Ping opened his eyes under the stimulation of the cold.
The nose smells the smell of rotting vegetation, the ears hear the chirping of birds, and the gentle sound of the wind. As for what's in front of...
In front of you is a field of dead branches and fallen leaves, which are naturally formed by the accumulation of forest all year round. In other words, in any forest, the ground is always covered with layers of old and new leaves.
After being stunned for a moment, the man with glasses stood up from the ground on his hands and feet.
He didn't bother dusting himself off. As soon as he stood up, the man stared at him intently with his eyes wide open.
As soon as you look in, the first thing that catches your eye is the darkness!
Yes, it is dark, extremely dark. Because the environment is too dark, even if it is believed to be daytime, the sun hanging high above the head cannot illuminate the dense forest. No matter how hard the sun shines, it can only barely illuminate the forest that should be as dark as ink.
The environment is changed to be slightly translucent.
Due to insufficient light and poor light transmission, the field of view is greatly reduced under environmental restrictions. The visual distance is only a dozen meters around, and if it continues to extend, only dense darkness remains.
Of course, even if the visibility was only a dozen meters, it was still enough for Zhao Ping to confirm his position instantly.
Inside the forest!
Unexpectedly, after falling unconscious, I would enter the forest inexplicably in seconds? Not long ago, I was at the edge of the forest, but I would actually end up inside the forest? A dim world where it is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south?
Not only that, apart from being confused in the forest, the surroundings were so empty that it was just me.
Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng and Zhou Bingbing were all missing. Many of the teammates who were originally with them disappeared en masse, inexplicably missing traces in an illogical way.
It is conceivable that when faced with such a bizarre result, ordinary people would be frightened and shout in a panic, and the timid ones would even burst into tears and collapse in despair, but...
Zhao Ping is different, only the man with glasses is different!
Even though he witnessed the gloomy environment at the scene, and even though he knew he was lost and trapped in the forest, the man still remained calm. After generally observing the scene, he raised his right arm and subconsciously adjusted his glasses.
As a result, he failed.
The habitual movements in the past were forced to terminate for the first time, and the right hand stopped looking at it when it was raised halfway.
The reason is that he discovered something. He found something extra in his right hand.
A card.
A white card about the same size as a playing card, with a blank back and an Arabic numeral 1 printed on the front.
this……
This is the digital card that Zhao Ping once revealed from the tree!
Seeing this scene, the man was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally said something inexplicable to himself:
"I see. It seems that my initial guess was correct. It's an unsolvable conspiracy that you have to take the initiative to jump into even if you know it's a trap."
That's right, just as the man in glasses muttered to himself just now, he has now completely figured it out, completely understood, and has a basic understanding of the meaning of the existence of digital cards. It is not complicated to explain, and he can understand it simply.
It is a certain mechanism, a passive triggering mechanism. If you have to describe it in detail in words, you can call it...
Space teleportation trigger mechanism!
