"I have been working here for so long, and of course I have discovered some rules. Only at noon every day, when the sun is the strongest, will there be no thick fog on the river!"
"You mean, that thing always comes out in thick fog?"
I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my back, and my face instantly turned ugly.
"I didn't see it. You're quite smart! But what's your expression like?"
The little Taoist priest was eating melon seeds and looking at me like a fool.
"Gu——dong——"
I swallowed hard and felt that my back was freezing.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The little Taoist priest looked at me with confusion.
"Look behind you!"
Although it was broad daylight, I still felt my hands and feet were cold for a while.
"Behind me?"
Just behind the little Taoist priest, the thick fog was like a long dragon, coming from a distance almost directly to our current location.
"Run!"
The little Taoist priest didn't care about anything else and ran away. I was shocked and didn't care about anything else. I just picked up the big rooster and grabbed my backpack and ran away.
"Didn't you say that this guy couldn't find us so easily because the mountain is so big?"
I'm really on the verge of tears. This bastard Wang Lei is so deceptive.
I can't do anything with this, but I have to provoke this who-knows-what. Isn't this fucking deception?
"You are still talking so much nonsense. How did I know that you are so unlucky?"
The little Taoist priest really used all his strength to feed himself this time. Even though he was in the mountains and forests, his speed was almost as fast as that of a monkey.
"Why did this thing come right after us? What the hell is this thing collecting?"
My physical fitness is already pretty good, but right now, I'm still out of breath from running.
There is no way, walking through the mountains and forests is really exhausting. After all, there are vines almost everywhere here. These things have been living in the mountains for who knows how many years.
Many old vines are almost as thick as an adult's thigh and look like big trees.
"You're such a loser! Let's run over there!"
The speed of the thick fog was really too fast. After roughly estimating the speed, the little Taoist gritted his teeth and said.
"Isn't it going up a mountain over there? Aren't we running slower!"
Looking at the direction of his finger, I felt depressed for a while and said quickly.
"Come as you are told, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
The situation was urgent, and the little Taoist priest didn't have time to explain. He turned around and ran towards the mountain.
I hesitated for a moment and then followed directly. After all, I was unfamiliar with the place in this deep mountain and old forest, and I didn't have any understanding of the surrounding environment.
Moreover, in the rush to escape just now, except for the backpack on me, I had almost thrown away all the other equipment.
If I didn't follow him, I would probably have to sleep in the open tonight.
But the path he took took more energy than going down the mountain.
Even with my physical condition, I could only hold on for less than twenty minutes before I could no longer hold on.
The thick fog behind me was getting closer and closer, and the sound of falling trees kept coming from the thick fog, as if something was running rampant.
Seeing that the distance between us was less than 200 meters in the thick fog, I felt extremely nervous.
I can even hear my own heartbeat.
However, as I was running, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of me.
"I said, what path are you taking? There is no road ahead!"
Looking down from the cliff, I saw that the lower part was full of mist and mist. I couldn't help but feel dizzy and yelled at him angrily.
"Jump!"
The little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then shouted to me.
"Are you kidding me?"
I was immediately dumbfounded. Although I didn’t know how high this cliff was, if we estimated it based on the distance we just ran, it must be at least a hundred meters.
What's more, the place below is full of clouds and fog, and it's impossible to see what's going on below. If you jump down, you'll still be alive.
"Stop talking nonsense, just jump down if you don't want to die!"
The little Taoist swore directly, and then kicked me hard on the lower back.
Before I even had time to scream, I already felt as if my body had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
The weightless feeling of falling so fast made me panic.
"Pfft--"
My mind went blank and I didn't even know how long I had been falling in the air.
When I reacted again, my whole body had fallen directly into a deep pool like a cannonball.
I finally managed to help him up. Just when I was about to say something, I heard another plop in my ears, and there was a sudden splash of water.
After a long while, the little Taoist priest finally emerged from the pool.
"Can you make it clear to me next time before you dance?"
To be honest, this moment really scared me.
This feeling of being kicked down from the top of a mountain without any defense is really fucking uncomfortable.
"Pfft--"
Just as the little Taoist priest was about to say something, several huge things fell from above his head.
After I saw clearly what had fallen into the water, I immediately closed my mouth.
It was a huge animal skeleton, looking a bit like a deer or a cow.
"Did you see it? Just a little later, and both of us will be here today!"
After finally climbing onto the stone beside the pool, the little Taoist priest gasped and said angrily.
"What the hell is that? This is too scary!"
Looking at the meat residue hanging on the pale skeleton, I felt a burst of fear for no reason, and the hairs all over my body stood up.
"Didn't I tell you? I don't know what it is, but it's very poisonous!"
While the little Taoist priest was talking, countless white fish had already turned their stomachs in the deep pool.
"Damn it! How can we two get up there?"
I can no longer tell whether the drops on my forehead are water drops or cold sweat.
Embarrassingly, he twisted the water stains on his sleeves, and then wiped his face.
Although there is no mirror now, I estimate that I look much more embarrassed than the big rooster in my arms.
"Just wait, the water in this pool is living water. After a while, the two of us will find a way to get up!"
After the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else and just lay down on the huge rock, breathing heavily.
