Chapter 482: The Lost Land 24(1/2)
After six o'clock,
Bai Xi woke up from a nap and the sky outside the house became much darker. Due to the thick fog, the sky was completely blocked and the fog was covered.
Yu Cheng just looked out the window and said, "Sister Xi, the fog is so heavy, there will definitely be no stars at night. Should we make a fire?"
"Let's live."
Bai Xi did not object.
Anyway, that thing has long been eyeing them, and there are no evolutionary beasts around. The darkness has aggravated the panic and made people feel uneasy.
The two began to work hard, and then Bai Xi stood up and said, "I'll go to the upper floor to see how deep the fog is, and I'll be back soon."
"Sister Xi, go."
Yu Chenggang agreed and continued to dismantle the old furniture.
The nearby residential buildings are not tall, with about twenty floors. Although twenty or thirty years have passed, the walls have aging, and the powder water and other things have begun to fall off, the building itself is still very solid and it is estimated that it can last for decades.
The fog outside the house is very heavy, but the fog invaded inside the building is very thin and does not affect the sight.
Bai Xi followed the stairs all the way up and soon arrived at the top floor. The door leading to the top floor was locked and kicked open with one kick. Sure enough, there was no fog on the top floor.
Looking around for a while, she turned around and jumped to the top of the elevator shaft to check the situation around her.
The entire city was covered with thick fog, with a depth of about ten floors. The seventy or eighty-story island-round business building stands in the center of the city, covered with green vines and branches protruding from the window.
The nearby residential buildings are about the same height. Bai Xi stood at the top of the elevator and saw the surrounding situation.
The building where she is located is on the edge of a sparse circle of vegetation growth. Walking one or two hundred meters eastward, the vegetation there is even more sparse, the building is dilapidated, but there is no wild grass, which is in sharp contrast to the building around which has become a plant paradise.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a dense gunshot came from the thick fog. Bai Xi looked at the sound and saw that it was neither the west side of the city where the ancient gods gathered, nor the north side where Cai Xuan and the others left, but the south side.
"Are there any other people here or are the people from the Ancient God Society relocated?"
Just as he was wondering, three or four hundred meters away, a huge vine tentacle lifted from the thick fog and then smashed heavily, and the ground was shaking.
"Damn!"
Bai Xi hurriedly jumped off the top of the elevator shaft and came to the fence on the south side, paying attention to the situation there.
In less than two minutes, the gunshots stopped.
I thought it was over, but I didn't expect dozens of evolutionary beasts, three to five meters long, and at a fast speed, climbed up the nearby high-rise buildings, as if they were escaping their lives.
Immediately afterwards, vines as thick as arms extended out of the thick fog and walked up the exterior walls of the tall building, piercing the evolved beasts into each other.
The evolutionary beast that did not die on the spot made a miserable scream and kept struggling. The already aging exterior wall turned into pieces and fell down one by one, and the glass was shattered and turned into sharp pieces.
The huge body of the evolution beast also became shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming an empty shell.
"This is an evolutionary plant? This is too powerful." Bai Xi opened his mouth wide and was very afraid. Fortunately, the dark thing led them here. This is really, misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and good fortune is the basis of misfortune.
After careful observation,
Bai Xi found that the vines seemed to be afraid of here. Even though the evolutionary beasts were in a panic, they did not get close to here.
"What is hidden here?"
After the movement calmed down, Bai Xi quietly returned to the third floor.
Seeing Bai Xi come back, Yu Cheng just hurried over and asked uneasily: "Sister Xi, have you heard the movement outside? Could it be that the ancient gods would have been attacked?"
"It is an evolutionary plant that feeds, but it dares not get close to here. We are safe for the time being." Bai Xi patted Yu Chenggang's shoulder and walked to the fire to sit down.
"Evolutionary plants? You dare not get close to here." Yu Chenggang was already Sparta, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "Sister Xi, you don't even dare to get close to evolutionary plants. What is hidden here should be the high-dimensional creatures mentioned in the game, right?"
"Maybe!"
Bai Xi reached into his backpack, took out a bottle of water from the space, took a sip, and continued: "Those evolutionary creatures dare not come over, we save a lot of trouble."
Yu Cheng had just thought about it, and Bai Xi was right. At least until he actually saw that thing, they were all safe.
Throwing the legs of the table that were chopped into the fire, Yu Cheng just stared at the fire and asked again:
"Sister Xi, do you think that group of people will be from the Ancient Gods Association? We don't have hot weapons, only those from the Ancient Gods Association. But if it is not the Ancient Gods Association, it means there are other people in the city."
"Can they be other players? Since the ancient gods will deal with players, it is impossible to deal with us only. Other players should be their target."
"However, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. We are going to find high-dimensional creatures, and other players will not go with us."
The eighteenth day of the game.
The fire had long burned out, leaving only a cloud of gray-black ashes.
After eating, Bai Xi and the other two were also preparing to move towards the center of the sparse vegetation area. Today's fog was much heavier than yesterday, with a visibility of only four or five meters, but under Bai Xi's leadership, the speed was not slow.
Half an hour later, the three of them stopped at a three-story commercial center.
"Sister Xi, is that thing here?" Yu Chenggang felt more and more frightened as he walked over. This feeling was exactly the same as when he was outside the city before.
"Um."
Bai Xi looked at the mall building and felt the strongest here. She was still frightened before, but after that emotional riot, for some reason, that feeling of fear disappeared.
Although it is a bit inexplicable, it is a good thing for Bai Xi
She turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "You are waiting for me outside."
Yu Cheng had just thought about it. Since Boss Bai didn't let them follow, they wouldn't go in and cause trouble. So he said, "Be careful, we'll be waiting for you in the shop opposite."
Yu Cheng just took Tang Guangqin into the shop opposite, while Bai Xi took out the Baiyue dagger and walked into the mall.
It has been disrepair and no one has taken care of. The mall has accumulated a thick layer of dust and is very messy. Every step can make a clear footprint on the ground.
The surroundings were silent, with no other animals, plants, and no people, and there was no fluctuation in perception.
"I'm here, come out!"
Bai Xi walked to the center of the mall, shouted loudly, and was alert to everything around her.
She could notice any abnormal movement.
At this time, a breeze blew by, and Bai Xi immediately became alert. Before she could react, a chuckle sounded in her ear.
"You're finally here, faster than I thought I could have thought I could not wait for you."
"Who are you?"
Bai Xi frowned. The man's tone was very familiar, as if he knew her. Could it be his seniors? But the elders shouldn't be so hostile to her.
"I have no name anymore." The voice sounded again, with a long and long experience, with some reminiscing about the past.
Bai Xi secretly sensed the surroundings, but there was no fluctuation in the spatial perception. The sound came from all directions and could not be located at all.
She had to ask again, "What is your purpose for you to lead us here?"
The voice corrected: "It's not you, it's you. I've been here for too long, so long that I forgot, and I'm still alive."
Listening to the words in his ears, Bai Xi did not believe it too much, but was confused in his heart.
If this is the core of the sacrificial ritual, why doesn’t there be anyone from the Ancient God Club? Did she make a mistake? The high-dimensional creatures reminded by the game have nothing to do with the Ancient God Club?
While Bai Xi was thinking, the voice rang again and asked, "Little girl, is the world outside changing a lot? Is that dog in Gonggong dead?"
Bai Xi was shocked by the voice's question, and her expression almost stopped. She asked, "Do you know Gonggong?"
The voice said angrily:
"If it weren't for him and Zhuanxu's dog-like things to compete for the source of life, our at-star field wouldn't have become the petri dish of the game. Most of the lives of the star field, tens of thousands of splendid civilizations, would have disappeared in an instant."
Bai Xi frowned and said, "I don't know if Gonggong died. To us, he is just a legend."
After saying that, she glanced around and asked again: "What is the source of life?"
The voice said earnestly: "Little girl, don't explore the source of life, and don't pursue the source of life. In the end, it will be nothing."
Bai Xi wanted to continue asking about the news, nodded in line with the sound, and asked: "Do you know what the purpose of the game is to cultivate us?"
Bai Xi's words made the voice laugh, and there was anger, "Cultivation? Do you call this training? I hope you can still say that when you reach level A."
The voice paused for a long time and rang again, "Little girl, maybe you are the one who has the most hope to get there, but now you are too immature and cannot stand this expectation, you need more tempering."
Speaking of this, the voice sighed.
"A lot of things can't be told now. If you say too much, the game will force your memory to be deleted. My task is to pass a coordinate to you.
I will engrave this coordinate in your consciousness, and unless death, nothing can eliminate this memory."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xi's head started to hurt violently, as if there was a sharp carving knife, constantly sliding back and forth in her mind.
This kind of pain that penetrates the soul is something she has never experienced before. Even if she uses space to devour players, it will not be so painful.
After a while, the pain slowly disappeared. Bai Xi crawled from the ground with a pale face and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
[The doll you are afraid of will dance under the red moon, so you must hold it with a rope.]
This is the message that the voice conveyed to her, strange but difficult to understand.
Bai Xi asked, "Didn't you talk about coordinates? Why is it a sentence? What does this sentence mean?"
But no sound came around, and the fear that once scared her disappeared. Bai Xi frowned, and she vaguely knew that the sound was dead. When she inscribed the information into her consciousness, she also saw a little memory of the sound.
