The forest was shrouded in smoke, and even with torches it was difficult to see things in the distance. However, the place was too close to the wolves, and the howls of wolves and the sounds of warriors not far away could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that they were not out of danger yet.
Lei Heng said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, we'd better leave quickly."
Everyone nodded, and several of Lei Heng's brothers held torches to clear the way ahead. Shen Rui and the other four saw this, and couldn't help but lose their guard. After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard an ouch, and a young man who was leading the way fell to the ground. It went down. Everyone was shocked. Lei Heng sniffed the surrounding air carefully and said: "No, the smoke here may be poisonous. Everyone, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior next to the fallen young man fell down again. The old soul's voice sounded: "This is a miasma forest. It is very dangerous here. You have to be careful."
"What exactly is going on here?" Shen Rui heard that it was very dangerous and felt his scalp numb.
"Well, you'll find out later." Mr. Hun said mysteriously.
But no matter how Shen Rui asked, Soul Lao refused to tell, saying that he wanted Shen Rui to experience it himself.
Lei Heng took out a bottle of pills from his arms, took out two pills and gave them to the fallen warrior, and gave one pill to each of his subordinates. He said: "This is an antidote pill that specializes in miasma poisons. Let's keep it in our mouths." You won’t be afraid of the poisonous miasma in your mouth.”
When everyone heard about it, they quickly put the elixir in their mouths and held it in their mouths.
Lei Heng took four and handed them to Shen Rui. Shen Rui said: "Thank you."
He had prepared four poison-reducing pills in his hand, and when he gave them to Qu Jin and the others, he replaced the four poison-reducing pills with his own poison-reducing pills. No one noticed at night. Qu Jin and the others took the pills, He threw it into his mouth without even looking at it. Shen Rui shook his head secretly. These three people were too unwary. If they hadn't run into him, they would have died in this wild forest.
He has experienced too many things in the past few years, so much that he dare not trust anyone easily.
After a while, the two unconscious warriors woke up. Shen Rui said to Lei Heng: "There is something strange in this forest. It is inconvenient to move around at night. We should rest where we are and wait until dawn before setting off."
Lei Heng nodded and said: "Well, that's fine, anyway, the wolves usually won't chase us in again."
Everyone rested for a while, and the sky gradually became brighter. When everyone looked ahead, they saw that the entire forest was surrounded by heavy fog, and almost nothing could be seen inside. However, it finally felt less scary than at night. .
The woods were very quiet, there seemed to be nothing, and there seemed to be unknown creatures everywhere. Even Shen Rui became a little nervous.
Everyone tiptoed forward, and Lei Heng suddenly said strangely: "There is something strange in this forest. It is freezing and snowy outside, but there is not even a shadow of snow on the ground here."
Shen Rui looked at the ground by the light of the fire, and sure enough, there was not a trace of snow under his feet. "Could it be that the trees here are too dense and tall, covering all the snow?" Shen Rui asked.
"It's possible, but there's no way there's not even a bit of snow." Lei Heng frowned.
Everyone's hearts were raised again. The thick miasma, the snowless floor, and the forest were full of mystery. "Oh..." Lin Ran suddenly screamed, and Shen Rui hurriedly protected her: "What's wrong? ?”
Lin Ran pointed to the ground timidly, but did not dare to look. Everyone gathered around and took a closer look. They saw a rotting corpse lying on the ground. It was unrecognizable and exuded a disgusting stench.
"It's just a corpse, what's there to be afraid of?" Lei Heng said disdainfully. Only then did everyone feel relieved. After walking a few more steps, they saw such corpses everywhere in the forest. Everyone was not surprised. , but the putrid smell emanating from the corpse was so unpleasant that Lin Ran couldn't help but vomited.
"These people are probably people who came to take part in the Yunyuan Pavilion disciple assessment and died of poisoning here." Shen Rui said.
But although the miasma in the forest is poisonous and can be solved with ordinary antidote pills, why are there so many corpses? Shen Rui guessed that there must be something else at work, and he couldn't help but secretly be more careful.
"Everyone, look." A warrior pointed in horror at the foot of a tree. When everyone took a look, they saw two warriors lying face to face there. One had a black face, while the other had a normal complexion, but there was a gun inserted into his chest. There was a knife, but there was no trace of decay on the two people's bodies. They were obviously the two people who entered the forest in the first batch. Lei Heng knelt down and took a look, and said: "This man with a black face, his neck There are traces of snake bites on it.”
When everyone heard that it was a snake, they couldn't help but panic. Of course, the most terrifying thing in the wild is a snake. Everyone couldn't help but look around.
Lei Heng looked at the other person again, frowned and said: "This person seems to have been killed, but since the poisonous snake appears here, everyone should kill the snake by rights, how could they attack one of their own people."
Shen Rui looked at it and said: "The warrior who was killed may have died in the hands of this poisoned warrior. Look, they were face to face. The face of the warrior who was killed was full of astonishment. Obviously, he did not expect that the other party would Attack him."
Qu Jin couldn't help but said: "This is just your guess. He would be shocked if he was tricked by others."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but no one could come up with a convincing conclusion.
Shen Rui said: "Forget it, there is no point in arguing here. Maybe we will find the answer if we go further."
Lei Heng said: "Let's go."
In addition to the rotten corpses, there are gradually more fresh corpses. The situation is still similar to the one encountered just now. There must be one or several killed companions next to the corpse that was bitten to death. "What about the snake, why is it not dead?" Are there any traces of snakes?" A warrior called out. Most of the warriors who came to participate in the disciple selection were not weak. No matter how weak they were, they couldn't even kill a snake. However, everyone looked around, but they all killed them one after another. There are no snakes to be found. Are these snakes unkillable?
The dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads became thicker.
Shen Rui was full of mental energy and immediately noticed that murderous intent was everywhere around him, and there were tiny sounds and breaths everywhere.
"Everyone, be careful," he shouted.
"Papa..." There was a sound of branches breaking overhead, and everyone looked up. "Whoosh..." Several red snakes, only as thick as a human thumb, jumped from a tree in front of them.
Everyone was shocked, some slashed at the snake with their swords, and some quickly put a protective shield on their bodies.
Amidst the splatter of blood, someone screamed. A warrior slashed a small snake to death with a knife, but his face was accidentally splashed with snake blood, and he covered his face and screamed.
"Snake blood is poisonous." Everyone understood immediately. More snakes jumped down from the trees, densely packed, and some snakes sprayed a line of red venom in the air that was almost the same color as their bodies.
Everyone held magical weapons and kept swinging their weapons at these little snakes, and carefully avoided the poisonous snake blood. "Chichi...ah--" Another warrior screamed. It turned out that he had a cloth in front of him.
His protective shield actually cracked under the corrosion of several venom, and the venom rushed into his body instantly.
"Go back quickly." Lei Heng saw that the situation was not good and shouted loudly.
