The wind howled, and the sand and rocks flew.
The wind is rapidly intensifying, and the trembling sensation on the ground is becoming more intense.
It was like an earthquake struck, causing everyone affected in Estate to stagger around and almost lose their balance.
The trees outside Estate were also swayed wildly by the strong wind, and the thick branches were painfully twisted, making a low roar of "crunching".
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
Li Dingjian staggered, shouted loudly, and looked at the professor and Fang Cheng in a panic.
Try to get a definite answer from them.
But the words sounded extremely weak in the howling wind, and seemed to be blown away at any time.
The professor frowned, and his expression was particularly solemn at this moment:
"I don't know... maybe there was an earthquake, maybe Lu Family activated some mysterious means."
"After all, there are many secrets hidden in this Estate. In order to protect Golden Benba Vase, I'm sure there are some back-ups..."
As he spoke, he scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
The thick fog was like a raging tide, driven by the strong wind, rolling and surging rapidly, sweeping in one wave after another.
The wind did not blow away the fog, but instead made people's vision blurry, and only a few steps away was a chaotic darkness.
After the professor looked around, his eyes fell on Fang Cheng, who was standing steadily beside him.
This mysterious man has repeatedly mentioned that he has an ominous premonition before. Is it true that he is a prophecy?
Fang Cheng's pupils flashed slightly Red Light, and now "Eagle Eye Vision" is being restarted to observe changes in the surrounding environment.
The two lines of sight were like sharp arrows, shooting through the holes in the mask into the thick fog as thick as ink.
After correcting the degree of light distortion, the visual sensitivity and viewing distance range of Fang Cheng have been greatly improved.
Even in such bad weather, you can still maintain your most basic visual abilities.
He concentrated on sensing the external situation, not letting go of any abnormal movement, and always being ready to deal with unknown Danger that might happen.
Vaguely, I saw many figures shaking in Woods.
At first, Fang Cheng subconsciously thought it was other treasure hunters who were involved.
But when he looked at it carefully, a chill shot up his spine.
Something's wrong!
There are indeed treasure hunters among those figures, but most of them have an indescribable weirdness about them.
The outlines of their bodies are so distorted that they don't look like normal humans at all.
The angles at which the limbs are bent and the body's shape constantly stretching and changing are completely beyond common sense.
As if evil spirits were released from hell, they appeared and disappeared in the darkness with howling wind and thick fog.
Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly, he closed his eyes, and immediately amplified the other four senses.
In an instant, a faint humming sound poured into his ears.
Intertwined and intertwined with the roaring wind, it seemed to play a creepy and thrilling movement in the chaotic darkness.
Then my nose quivered slightly, and I smelled a strong smell of Sulfur.
It was as if a slippery snake had penetrated his nose, making him almost sneeze.
Not only that, Fang Cheng also really felt a strange energy fluctuation in the air, like a quiet lake being thrown into Jushi, causing ripples in circles.
As the ripples spread, strange rays of light that could not be observed with the naked eye slowly seeped out from the Estate underground and emerged.
They shuttle and interweave flexibly, gradually outlining complex and mysterious lines, as if they come from characters in an ancient heavenly book, hiding endless mysteries.
"What did you see?"
The professor suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Fang Cheng who was looking down at the ground.
Fang Cheng raised his head, squinted his eyes, and answered slowly:
"I saw... there is a huge Formation under our feet, which seems to be used to seal a certain space."
When the professor and Li Dingjian heard this, their expressions changed.
At this time, the wind suddenly calmed down a lot, and the trees and buildings on the ground no longer trembled violently.
The whole Estate seems to have sailed from the stormy ocean into a calm harbor.
Then, faint intermittent voices came from all around.
Everyone who had been in panic and hiding poked their heads out again, widened their eyes, and looked around in surprise.
They breathed a sigh of relief and tried to find out the reason for the sudden Unexpected Events just now.
However, Fang Cheng knew that the Formation under his feet still existed, which meant that Danger had not disappeared.
After thinking about it, I immediately picked up Walkie-Talkie and prepared to contact Black Wolf and others to ask where they were.
Then immediately evacuate this weird Estate together.
But after pressing the call button, there was only the sizzling sound of electricity in Walkie-Talkie, and no signal was transmitted at all.
Fang Cheng's heart sank, and the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger.
Turning his head to look over, he saw the two people standing beside him, the expressions on their faces constantly changing, revealing a bit of solemnity and confusion.
Judging from this appearance, although they were not using communication equipment, they seemed to be communicating with their teammates quietly in some special way.
After the two seemed to have ended their silent communication, Fang Cheng took a step forward and asked:
"Can you get in touch with other teammates now?"
As he spoke, he shook Walkie-Talkie in his hand and added:
"Since the earthquake just now, the Radio signal seems to have been blocked here, and my Walkie-Talkie has completely failed."
When the professor heard this, his already frowning brows tightened even more, and he fell into deep thought.
"We can still get in touch."
Seeing that Fang Cheng's keen eyes seemed to see through his behavior, he pondered for a moment and chose to admit it frankly.
After a brief pause, the conversation changed, and the worry on his face became heavier:
"However, my teammates are in more trouble now. They seem to have encountered Ghost Wall."
Fang Cheng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this.
What this sentence means is that there seems to be a problem on the way out of Estate.
Mist In the dense forest, it seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers.
Lin Chuqiao is at the head, Lark is in the middle, and Big Hammer is at the back. The three of them lined up in a single file and moved forward cautiously.
Every step they took was extremely cautious, as if the ground beneath their feet would crack open at any time and swallow them whole.
The thick ink-like mist around them seemed to be alive, constantly surging and changing, completely blocking their sight.
Since the sudden earthquake a few minutes ago, the entire Mist Mountain seems to have been dragged into a mysterious and terrifying Different Dimension.
Not only does the mist become thicker and sticky, it makes people feel suffocated.
Even the familiar mountain road beneath my feet has become rugged and difficult to distinguish, and the shapes of the surrounding trees appear distorted and terrifying under the shroud of mist.
There seemed to be some weird shadows that didn't look like humans hidden among the shadows.
Everything is a sign that some disturbing and unpredictable changes have obviously taken place here.
In order not to get separated from each other, Lin Chuqiao stepped Slow Down from time to time and gently pulled back with his hand, signaling Lark behind him to follow.
Lark also reached back and grabbed the corner of Big Hammer's clothes to ensure that the distance between them was always within the visible range.
Everyone was so close to each other that they could feel each other's breathing and heartbeat, fearing that they would get separated in this maze-like place.
Once you get separated, you may be completely lost in this endless dark forest and never find your way back.
"This damn place, no matter how I walk around, I feel like I'm spinning in circles!"
Big Hammer has the most impatient temper, muttering in a low voice, showing deep anxiety and uneasiness.
I waved the Iron Hammer in my hand from time to time, trying to disperse the surrounding fog.
But the mist was like a gangrene attached to the bones, gathering up quickly as soon as it was dispersed.
Lark frowned and held a simple compass in his hand.
This was specially prepared before she left, as an emergency measure if she got lost.
Because Lin Chuqiao has extremely high perception ability, it can use this advantage to judge the route more accurately, so the compass has never been effective.
Now it can come in handy, but at this moment the pointer is spinning crazily and cannot point to the direction at all.
"Something's wrong, the compass is also malfunctioning, the magnetic field here keeps changing, Sister Xiao Chu, have we encountered Ghost Wall?"
Her voice was breathy with a bit of nervousness, and she looked for help at Lin Chuqiao, who was walking in front of her.
According to common sense, they should have walked out of the Mist Mountain range by now and arrived on the road outside the mountain.
"Don't panic, just rest where you are for a few minutes and I'll try to contact the professor again."
Lin Chuqiao's face was equally solemn, but his tone was very soft.
She knows that in this crisis-ridden situation, as a leader, she must remain calm and collected.
At this moment, the professor's voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
"Hey, Xiao Chu, can you hear me?"
This voice was like a weak but clear radio wave, coming through Mist, making Lin Chuqiao immediately refreshed.
She immediately responded in a deep voice:
"You can hear it, Professor, we just observed the location of the treetops according to the method you said, but we still didn't find any marks."
The professor's voice seemed to be disturbed and was slightly interrupted before the reply came:
"Xiao Chu, listen to me, this is Illusion Array, your Sensory Perception has been interfered with..."
"Now try to calm down and feel the temperature difference of the land under your feet, and then keep walking towards a place with a slightly higher temperature. That is the popular Village direction. You should be able to walk out of this mountain."
Lin Chuqiao perked up after hearing this, quickly closed his eyes, tried hard to get rid of distracting thoughts, and tried to feel the difference the professor said.
After a while, she caught a slight difference, opened her eyes, and walked towards the direction of judgment with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
When Lark and Big Hammer saw this, they felt a little uneasy, but they could only keep up.
However, after they walked in this direction for a long time, the fog around them not only did not dissipate, but became thicker and thicker.
Those twisted Ghostly Shadow flashed from time to time, and weird whispers echoed in the ears, seeming to be gradually approaching them.
"What's going on? This method doesn't work at all!"
Big Hammer couldn't help but complain, his face full of frustration.
Lin Chuqiao frowned, her heart full of doubts, and communicated with the professor again:
"Professor, I did what you asked, but I'm still trapped in Woods, with no sign of a way out."
"Don't worry, Illusion Array may be more complicated than I expected."
The professor's voice still sounded calm, trying to calm their emotions:
"Look around to see if there are any luminous objects or unusually bright areas. That may be the key clue to cracking Illusion Array."
Lin Chuqiao Open your eyes wide and look around carefully.
In this fog that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, apart from the occasional flash of Ghostly Shadow, there were no luminous objects anywhere.
There was silence all around, and even the Night Owl screams disappeared. It was so quiet that it made people feel sick.
At this moment, a burst of rustling movement broke the dead silence.
Several looming figures appeared among Mist like Ghost.
And it seemed to be drifting towards them quickly, and the number was getting larger and larger.
Lin Chuqiao's heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his voice and reminded:
"Lark, Big Hammer, get ready for battle, those Ghostly Shadow seem to be approaching us!"
The three people quickly stood back to back, put into defensive formation, and stared at their surroundings with concentration.
When those figures came closer and the fog dispersed slightly, Lin Chuqiao was shocked to realize that they were actually a group of living people.
But before they could open their mouths to communicate, when the group of people saw Lin Chuqiao and their group, their faces were full of horror, as if they had seen the most terrifying sight in the world, and they shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Run quickly, those Ghostly Shadow can eat people!"
Lin Chuqiao was startled and subconsciously looked up.
Behind them, some extremely weird shadows quietly appeared.
Some are stooped, like old men on the verge of death, while others are slender and twisted, like monsters that have been pulled and reshaped by evil magic.
These shadows are blurry and their faces are not very clear. They look like evil ghosts climbing out of the eighteenth level of hell to choose and devour people.
Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel a strange Aura that makes your spine shiver and your mind tremble.
What's even more frightening is that behind these ghost-like shadows, there is an even stronger Black Mist, rolling in with overwhelming force, as if it wants to swallow everything in the world into endless darkness.
Everyone was enveloped in fear and fled in panic.
Lin Chuqiao, Lark, and Big Hammer did not hesitate and joined the fleeing group.
The sounds of panicked footsteps and frightened shouts were intertwined, making the already terrifying atmosphere seem as desperate as the end of the world.
The few unlucky ones running at the back seemed to be grabbed by cold tentacles stretching out from the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by Ghostly Shadow, and then with a short and shrill scream, they were mercilessly engulfed by the wave of Black Mist and disappeared completely.
These normally powerful treasure hunters who possess Special Abilities are actually helpless in the face of this unknown and strange phenomenon, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Everyone listened to the screams coming from behind their heads, and their footsteps did not dare to stop at all.
As long as you slow down for a moment, the evil ghost will seek your life and be dragged into the endless darkness Abyss.
It wasn't until the Black Mist wave that seemed to swallow up the world suddenly stopped without warning that they dared to stop and rest in place, panting.
Lin Chuqiao At this time, he really couldn't run anymore. He was holding his knees with both hands and his chest was heaving violently.
Panting rapidly, she glanced around and found that the number of people traveling with her was about half smaller than before.
Some seemed to be lost in panic while running away, lost in the vast Mist Forest.
Some were unfortunately swallowed up by the Black Mist wave and became victims of this strange place.
Fortunately, Lark and Big Hammer are still around, which makes Lin Chuqiao feel a little more at ease.
She rested for a moment and looked intently at the calm area behind her.
Those weird shadows were hidden in Black Mist, looming, baring their teeth and claws, but no longer approaching, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
The other side, which was also shrouded by Mist, was obviously darker and more chaotic, like a bottomless black hole, exuding Aura of Danger.
They are clearly separated from each other, just like forming a Poison Circle that no one dares to cross, trapping everyone and Ghostly Shadow on both sides.
