No one answered him. Silence followed silence. There was no trace of living things here.
"Old, Old Bai, it is better for us to do less than to do more..."
"You want to leave?" Bai Ya asked Qi Huan, "Can you leave? The snake demon deceived us into a place like this. How can he not be completely sure that we can escape easily?"
If they want to discover the problem, they should have discovered it long ago. It is better to say that it is because they trust the monster too much. Although this trust is passive, they have no other choice in the wilderness where they are unfamiliar with the place.
Liu Shenghan touched Mingming's back and found the thread. She held it in her hand, looked at it repeatedly, and weighed it again. She couldn't feel the slightest weight. She frowned, with a troubled expression on her face, and then stretched it out.
Be straight and say to others:
"Can you see this thread?"
They all looked between her hands, and there was nothing there. But Liu Shenghan knew that he was indeed holding on to a strong thread. Everyone shook their heads, and Mingming followed suit.
She hesitated and said: "Earth spider...? If it is a thread condensed by demon power, you should be able to see it."
"Unless his magic is far superior to ours." Qi Huan also frowned, "I think it's better not to conflict with him. In comparison, running away is more difficult..."
Having said that, before they knew it, black mist had filled the air around them. The stars and moon in the sky were gone, and any scene was covered by the darkness that had become thicker at some point. In this hazy black, there was something strange.
A light source flashed from time to time, probably an erratic will-o'-the-wisp. Four people and a child were very close to each other.
"It's a barrier of miasma." Liu Shenghan said, "It's too late. It may be difficult to get out."
"But even if we find out early, we will still be trapped, right?"
This kid Mingming is really sharp-tongued and specializes in telling the truth that people don't want to hear. Not only does he have a sharp mouth, he also has sharp eyes. After taking a few steps, he suddenly pointed to a dark corner and asked loudly: "What is that?"
"
They didn't see anything, but in case there was an ambush, they walked over carefully and took a look. When they got closer, they realized that there was indeed something there. Next to it was a tree with a yellow-brown thing hanging from the branch.
.I don’t know whether it is its original color or the phosphorus fire that flashes from time to time. These phosphorus fires are like bubbles in the water, appearing and bursting suddenly.
Jun Aoyan touched the thing with the back of the knife. It was only connected to the branch at one point, and as soon as it was touched, it swayed around. This thing was like a cocoon, covered with sparse threads.
Like dirty
The strips of cloth looked like they were rotting. Looking at the whole thing, there were some rugged bulges, wrinkles and dust. What exactly were they? They couldn't tell what they were after looking at them for a long time. Instead, they were a little irritated by the flickering will-o'-the-wisps.
Mingming is relatively short, so he can see the lower end of the hanging object without having to lower his head. Its shape is close to a sphere, but it is not that regular. There are two sunken pits on the surface, and the upper end is a strange corner. Mingming is bold
He stretched out his hand and poked it twice, easily breaking through the dry and crisp surface. Nothing special came out, it was just hollow inside. No matter what it was, it must be very light.
Mingming took out a piece of blue ore from somewhere, formed a circle with his index finger and thumb, and held it inside. The other fingers were raised like flowers. He aimed the ore at his eyes and looked through it.
Look at the hanging object and look up and down.
"Oh! This is a person!"
"What are you doing?"
Qi Huan didn't know what he was being naughty about, but his heart felt cold after listening to his words. Suddenly he noticed something in his hand, Qi Huan was stunned and turned to look at Bai Ya.
"Where is Lamb?"
Bai Ya also suddenly stared at the little boy, no longer looking at the mass. Lan Bo was originally on him, but he did not explore the previous position, but stayed on the ore in Mingming's hand for a while longer.
, suddenly picked him up. He was lifted up easily like a chicken.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh -"
"When was it taken away? Tell me."
"Just, just now..." Mingming struggled in panic, "Oh, I will return it to you. I just borrowed it to play with out of curiosity, just for a moment! I saw a little blue thing shining on you,
You are so fierce, you may not show it to me if I ask you, so..."
"So you steal?" Jun Aoyan frowned and scolded him, "How come your hands and feet are so unclean at a young age? You are a thief if you don't care about it. Didn't anyone teach you?"
"No!" This tone sounded like he was quibbling, and Mingming didn't mean it that way. He hurriedly defended himself, "I know it's not good to steal things. I've stolen many times and been beaten. But, but I used to
I haven’t paid it back yet, this is my real plan…”
Liu Shenghan sighed softly and stepped forward to persuade.
"Okay, don't criticize a child harshly. You also know that no one has taught this child well, and you shouldn't blame him for being so naughty. Just ask him to return the things to you. Next time, don't do it again.
"
Mingming nodded obediently, not sure if he meant it sincerely. He stretched out his hand, and Bai Ya caught the blue amber he let go with one hand, and then let go of the other hand, letting the boy fall to the ground. But he was opposite
He was quite concerned about the "usage" of the amber. He also picked up the amber, closed one eye tightly, and used the other eye to look through it to observe the surrounding environment.
He suddenly took away the amber, was stunned for a moment, then moved it back, put it in front of his eyes, and looked up and down at the thing that Mingming called a human being. The others didn't know what he was doing, but just looked at him strangely. Then, Bai Ya
He held the blue gem like this again, slowly turned it around, and then slowly took it off.
"What's wrong? How old are you and what are you playing with?"
Qi Huan grabbed it and took a look.
"I'm going!"
This time he was so shocked that he almost dropped the amber. His hands turned to each other, as if they were holding a piece of hot coal. Bai Ya quickly snatched it back with quick eyes and hands. What Qi Huan saw was the same as what Bai Ya and Mingming saw.
It should be the same scene. The light refracted through the "water bladder" in the middle and the surrounding clear parts
, the nearby scene instantly changed in his eyes, and the whole field of vision became much clearer. Although it was not as bright as the day, he could see something everywhere, and they seemed to emit a faint light.
Like, with clear outlines. Take the thing in front of you as an example - this is really a person.
Was.
His body had been wrapped around layers of something, and now it was completely dehydrated and turned into a mummy, which shriveled up. The man must have died a long time ago, and his arms were folded into a horrific shape in the "cocoon".
The arm bones and sternum were broken. It was probably when he was escaping that he was wrapped tightly. He tried to break free but the string became tighter and tighter. His mouth was so big that his lower jaw almost
Dislocated. But judging from the shape, the force he received was not only the external squeeze, but also the internal contraction. After all, it is impossible to become what he is now just based on the external force point. He seemed to be first
The restraints were then drained away, leaving only a skin and a broken skeleton - the internal organs inside were probably dissolved, because many bones were also destroyed.
This amber allowed them to see it all clearly, as if it were completely unfolded and laid out in front of people's eyes.
And there are many corpses like this here, scattered everywhere. Some are incomplete, not even wrapped, just scattered there messily, as if they have experienced a blood-red carnival. All of them may have been stained with blood in the past.
Places, when gazed through the amber, are filled with white-blue color, showing the shape of spreading, dripping or sputtering.
Isn't that child Mingming afraid? Qi Huan glanced at him in surprise. No matter what, at least they knew one of the uses of blue amber. But for now, this function does not help to improve the current situation. Liu Shenghan guessed
After giving an idea, when Jun Aoyan asked him what was going on, he simply said that the thing was "very useful."
Bai Ya relied on this thing to take the lead in exploring the dark boundary, and the others followed. Occasionally, a few eight-legged shadows passed around, like wandering ghosts. They tried to ignore it,
So as not to waste unnecessary energy. Even if there is no wind now, the air is horribly cold. Jun Aoyan keeps holding Mingming's arm to prevent the little guy from running around again and running into some den of thieves.
After walking for a long time, in such dead silence, an accident happened.
Bai Ya froze for a moment. He reacted quickly and suddenly leaned forward and threw the scimitar. Others didn't know what happened yet, but they just felt that his movement was too sudden. Qi Huan followed
Looking over from the side, he found that one of his knives and the amber were missing. The knife was thrown out, could it be that the amber disappeared out of thin air? Before he had time to think about it, the black blade struck again with a whistling sound.
Turn, and put the handle of the knife back into Bai Ya's hand with a "snap" sound.
Where is the blue amber? Where is the blue amber??
Using a certain point in front as the light source, it bloomed and cracked, and the haze in the entire area was dispelled. But after the darkness receded, it was still darkness, only the sky and the "moon" could be seen again. It is still late at night, but the creator of the barrier
Finally chose to show up.
The so-called light source was nothing more than the original appearance of the night, not even the light emitted by Blueberry. They watched helplessly as the thing they had worked so hard to obtain, almost risking their lives, appeared in the hands of another stranger.
.
——In the hands of an unknown monster.
This time, the eight-legged shadow was even bigger, probably the largest subject. When they could see more clearly, they realized that it was indeed a living monster, but it was motionless, like a sculpture, and it was still holding a quilt in its hand.
The amber was removed. He was sitting on a chair-shaped object with his legs crossed, looking strangely calm. The inhuman symbol was removed.
Except for the limbs on his back, his skin is an extremely unnatural blue-gray. Under his short hair, he has purple eyes on an expressionless face, and there is a black mole under the left corner of his stiff, relief-like lips. His
Suddenly the shadow of a small spider flashed across his face, but was it real? It was not three-dimensional, it just moved from one place on his skin to another.
Is this the monster Yan?
"Come again."
No matter who he is, even if he is the King of Heaven, if something is stolen from him, he must return it politely - even though it was something he snatched from somewhere else before.
