The fog shrouded the endless wilderness, and although the light was not dark, it made it difficult to see the distance.
The wasteland is covered with a layer of green grass, some sparse brown weeds, and even more scattered low trees. I don’t know what kind of trees they are, but they are only about three meters high, and the dense branches have some scattered trees.
The leaves, blown by the cold wind, were like the hair of a lonely witch swaying.
When Gu Jun and the others came out of the passage, they were next to a broken wall.
This small ruin was formed so long ago that neither they nor Zu Ge could identify what kind of building it was.
The Dreamland is very large. In the known geography, Ursa Town, Dilas-Lin, etc. are located in the west; the location of the Worm House is in the Karl Plain in the north.
It is also the first time that five earth wanderers including Peacock and Mo Qing have set foot in this place.
Even the Great Elder Atal dare not say that he knows enough about this place.
"Do you know where there are supplies nearby?" Gu Jun asked Zu Ge. Zu Ge said, "There is a place..."
Time is really precious, so a team of them set off immediately.
As soon as they came out of the passage, everyone's protective clothing disappeared, and the remaining clothes seemed to disappear at any time. Sundries and weapons disappeared one after another.
But an old seal purification stone and three rational monitoring stones are still there, all of which were made by Gu Jun before; the medical box is still there, and his own Kalop equipment is still there, and what surprises him is that there are three
The pistols have not disappeared, they are all QSZ11 pistols.
In fact, each of the sixteen of them is equipped with one. Only Gu Jun, Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning have survived. I don't know if there is any reason for this.
The qsz11 pistol is very compact, with a total length of 15.3cm and a total weight of 1.2 catties. It uses 5.8mm bullets and has a ammunition capacity of 8+1 rounds. This compactness may be one of the reasons why it has been preserved.
Gu Jun didn't know how powerful the pistol could be in the dreamland, but these 27 bullets must be cherished and used.
After walking quickly for about 15 minutes, they arrived at an abandoned cabin standing in the wilderness.
Zu Ge said that many years ago, there was an adventure group going to explore the House of Worms. The adventure group's stronghold was set here, and all the supplies were there. However, on the night before the adventure group was launched, all those people suddenly disappeared.
Just disappeared.
The supplies left behind by the adventure group were rotten and rotten, and the ones that were not rotten were also covered with thick dust. No one else had taken them.
At that moment, the sixteen people quickly changed into linen clothes, took the few cold weapons in the house, and immediately continued to rush to the Worm House.
"Why are they missing? What do you know?" Gu Jun asked Zu Ge again on the way.
"Dear Nightmare Man, it would be dangerous if you think you know something about this place. The less you know about this place, the better, especially the closer you get to the House of Worms, the more you will see.
Don't run around. The road leading to the Worm House is a maze."
Zu Ge's words soon came true. They were walking on the road when they suddenly saw the back of a woman in linen clothes running past in the mist.
"Ajun?" Uncle Dan asked what to do.
"Don't worry about it, let's keep walking." Gu Jun said, choosing to believe in this Zuko, "Our goal is ahead."
They walked on the wasteland for a short while, and in the haziness, they saw a carriage passing by in the distance. There were several figures in black hats and black clothes sitting on the carriage, and they all wore some kind of bird-shaped hats on their faces.
Mouth mask. Uncle Egg was surprised and said: "That seems to be the costume of the plague doctor during the Black Death in the European Middle Ages..."
The beak mask was the iconic equipment of the plague doctor and the filtering respiratory protector of that era.
Gu Jun felt some strange and restless feelings in his heart. Is this an illusion they themselves had? Or was it created by the environment for them to see?
Doctor Bird's Beak... Now these people are here to solve the plague...
The Black Death, the Black Death again.
"Where have you seen those people who are suspected to be my tribe?" He asked Zu Ge, "Are they those figures?"
"No," Zu Ge said fearfully, "The clothes they wear are not like this. I saw them closer to the Worm House."
Gu Jun led everyone to continue walking forward. After walking for more than half an hour, some burnt black areas appeared on the moss ground under his feet, and a dead breath gradually emerged, but vitality was definitely not uncommon.
On the contrary, there are more low trees.
When they climbed over a slope, they saw strange changes in the fog that still hadn't dissipated.
It's like a picture has been inverted. The tone of the environment in front is completely different. The moss has turned into black moss, and the little burnt black here is the little green over there. Just in this abnormality
In the middle, there are some overlapping stone buildings in the distance, like a manor.
"There, that's it..." Zu Ge's paws slapping his body were trembling a little, "After passing this line, I won't know anything. There's no point in following you. I might even drag you into trying to save me.
.Shall I leave first?”
"Don't worry and follow. If that happens, we won't risk saving you." Gu Jun said.
As soon as they crossed this dividing line, everyone felt their spirits sway. Gu Jun, Lou Xiaoning, and Peacock, who had been trained in mental strength, didn't feel anything; but Uncle Dan and the other eight team members, these people had not practiced.
People who have undergone the spell feel a little painful.
"Headache..." Uncle Dan pressed his forehead painfully, "It seems like there are hallucinations coming in."
Gu Jun frowned and asked Uncle Egg to try using the old seal purification stone.
With everyone watching, Uncle Dan reached out and pressed the mark on the stone. He didn't know any spells and had never used them before. He shouldn't be mentally corroded. But when he pressed his hand, the purification stone reacted.
Uncle Dan also let out a cry of pain: "Ah..."
"Here." Gu Jun couldn't help but look at the foggy surroundings. This place would cause mental erosion to people.
Others also realized that the situation was not good, and tried using the rational monitoring stone for a round. As expected, Uncle Egg and the others were being eroded. Although the power of darkness was very weak, it was constantly eroding. There is undoubtedly a spiritual defense line, which is lower than
This line is like a dike bursting, being submerged bit by bit by the flood.
And the closer you get to the House of Worms, the stronger the power of darkness should be.
"Uncle Egg, stay over there." Gu Jun said helplessly. He disliked being separated the most, but there is no way now. If Uncle Egg and the others follow, it will be like stabbing wounds on their bodies. They will lose blood soon.
And died.
"Oh, you are really old." Lou Xiaoning said to Uncle Dan with disgust, "I asked you to learn spells, but you refused to learn them."
"I'm getting old." Uncle Dan was still in the mood to joke, "If I hadn't worked until retirement age and received full pension, I would have retired a long time ago."
Time is tight, they only have 12 hours, preferably within 6 hours, and it has already taken nearly an hour.
So after just saying a few words, everyone divided into two teams. Gu Jun and the other seven people and Zuge continued to walk towards the manor and took away two pistols, while Uncle Dan and the other nine people stayed at the mossy wasteland.
Holding a pistol.
Gu Jun, Peacock and the others walked forward for more than a hundred meters. Looking back, they saw that the figures of Uncle Dan and others had been completely obscured by the fog.
When they walked almost another hundred meters...
Bang bang bang, suddenly, gunfire rang out from behind.
