Along the way, they seemed to have finally entered the interior of the Country of Fog.
After breaking through the snowstorm outside, there was no fog inside, but the sky was gray regardless of day or night. It was difficult to see the sun or the stars.
"Is it because it's called the Country of Fog?" Huai Shi was curious. "Why not call it the Country of Yarn? It's more appropriate."
"I feel that if it's called the Country of Yarn, the Tsuchikage will die again."
"… Don't play with homonyms, okay?"
Huai Shi sighed and looked around.
There were ruins everywhere.
He originally thought that he could play the role of a little monster and scare the innocent residents. As a result, there were many cities and villages along the way, but there was not a single living person.
It seemed that there had been a war or something else. There were ruins everywhere and no one was there.
They saw a lot of dead people.
Whether it was rotten things or corpses that had been hung on the collapsed city walls and turned into stinking bacon … they were not the appearance and appearance that humans could have.
Instead, they were more like some kind of humanoid hybrid of lizard and snake, and most of them had extremely serious distortion and mutation.
As for the other strange beasts and creatures, they were almost used to it.
There were too many.
There was one every few steps.
If it weren't for Huai Shi's body still having some deterrence, and Fu Yi's wide-area illusion, they didn't know how much trouble they would have encountered along the way.
Now it was basically Huai Shi rushing, Fu Yi sleeping, waking Fu Yi up when there was trouble, activating the illusion and rushing a wave, and after that, Fu Yi went back to sleep to recover her mana.
She was getting fatter and fatter.
But Huai Shi didn't dare to say it.
"How long has it been since we came in?" Fu Yi lay in the basket under Huai Shi's neck and asked in boredom, "It should be two or three weeks, right?"
"If it's counted by days, it's been more than half a month." Huai Shi replied, "But my body sense should only last for a week … and the real time is definitely not more than eight hours …"
The witch's night could only last for eight hours.
Although they didn't know what kind of law and distance was used, there was no doubt that the time here was accelerated.
It sounded incredible, but it was actually the case.
It was like a special setting in a novel.
You just have to get used to it.
After so many years, in the present realm, in the framework established by the Creator one after another, time had become something that could be easily manipulated.
This was especially true after several upgrades, including the [Theory of Relativity] and other related plug-ins. As long as there was enough Origin Substance to operate, the flow of time in an enclosed space could be fast or slow to a shocking degree.
The only regrettable thing was that even though the 'fast forward' function had been installed for so long, the 'fast rewind' function was still far away. Even the 'pause' function was so difficult to operate that the creator of the physics specialty would explode his brain.
Research in this field was too dangerous and had been completely sealed by the Academy of Astronomy from the source of the Silver Sea.
In the end, to some extent, the loss of entropy was not irreversible … It just depended on how much one had to pay. Even if it was a small-scale time reversal, it was still a terrifying consumption that would deepen the depth of the entire Reality.
Of course, there were rumors that this technology had been abused by 'Yesterday's Express'. Some people also said that the 'Rainbow Bridge', one of the three major blockades in the present realm, could not only teleport people back in time, but could even teleport people back a month or something … No one would believe this kind of sensationalist nonsense.
It made people want to laugh when they heard it.
"Hahaha." Huai Shi laughed.
Fu Yi raised her head and looked at him. "What are you laughing at?"
"… Uh." Huai Shi pondered for a moment and replied dryly, "I remembered something happy."
"What happy thing?"
Huai Shi certainly couldn't talk about the secrets that Crow had told him in private. He could only say after a long pause, "Someone's wife is going to have a baby."
"… What a coincidence, my mother is also going to have a baby." Fu Yi asked curiously, "Do you think we are talking about the same person?"
"Sorry, sorry."
Huai Shi could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
"It's okay, I'm joking."
Fu Yi glanced at him and responded lightly. She was not angry and just retracted back into the basket. "Be careful, it's going to rain."
As if to prove her speculation, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.
At dusk, the dim light of the setting sun couldn't be seen. Instead, the sky was quickly covered by dark clouds. Then, a stinky rainstorm quickly poured down.
It fell on the ground with a sizzling sound.
"The concentration is terrifying to this extent … If it was in the present realm, all the acid rain would cry out, right?"
Huai Shi raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky in the distance.
The acid rain fell on his carapace and scales as if it had fallen on a stone. After leaving faint traces, it was shaken off without a trace.
It had no effect.
Since entering here, Huai Shi's body had grown bigger. Now, it had surpassed the size of an ambulance and was approaching the size of a small truck.
If it continued to grow, it wouldn't be the same size as a heavy truck one day, right?
Huai Shi would occasionally think about this when he was eating. Then, he seriously considered dieting for a few seconds and quickly threw it to the back of his mind.
F * ck, I'll get bigger if I get bigger. Sponsored Partnerships are more important.
He opened his mouth and took a mouthful of rainwater that was like a strong acid. After rinsing his mouth and washing away the stains on his teeth, he skillfully spat it out casually.
This was the good thing about having a high physique.
He was immune to all poisons and attacks of any attribute were not weak.
Although his health bar was thick enough and his defense was high enough, his arms and legs were short and he didn't have much control. However, the advantage of being able to travel in the rain like now was something that other explorers didn't have.
In the past two days, when he was free, he had replaced Fu Yi's bamboo basket with an iron one and hung it around his neck with the Lock of Sorrow. It was clearly the size of a basketball, but hanging around his neck was like a small bell with an opening at the top.
Well, it was becoming more and more like a dog.
Just as he was lost in his imagination, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
He stopped in front of the abyss.
The mud and acid rain converged into a turbid current that flowed past his feet and fell into a huge crack that had inexplicably appeared in the ground.
The crack was thousands of meters long, and the narrowest part was hundreds of meters wide.
It was as if a violent earthquake had occurred, and the earth's crust had undergone violent changes.
He could vaguely see the ancient city that had been half submerged in mud at the bottom of the trench. The dried bones slowly rose and fell in the acid rain and turbid flow, and soon sank into the depths of the mud.
"That's great. We don't even need a mass cemetery."
Huai Shi clicked his tongue and sighed.
"… How do you make such a horrifying scene sound like a market?" Fu Yi sighed.
"Of course it's through talent."
Huai Shi's wolf mouth skillfully curled up and whistled proudly. "I'm super brave. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Is that so?"
The stoat in the bell basket said expressionlessly, "Then look back."
Then Huai Shi took a step back and rushed straight forward.
Yu Step!
Look back for what?
As early as when Fu Yi said to look back, Huai Shi felt a premonition of death suddenly erupt in his heart, piercing his soul to the point that it trembled.
Regardless of everything, he rushed forward with all his strength.
Risking falling into the abyss of the crack, he ran wildly out.
There was a roar.
As if a small bubble had burst out, a crisp sound was drowned out by the sound of the torrential rain.
Then, the acid rain was lifted, as if a door had suddenly opened between the curtains. It was pushed to the sides by the repulsion of psychokinesis.
The psychokinesis rolled up a hurricane and applied to Huai Shi's body, providing him with instant acceleration.
The giant wolf had already dragged a section of the iron pillar, broke through the air, leaped through the crack in the air, and jumped out to the other side.
Vaguely, he felt as if something had touched his hind leg. It was cold to the bone, and then the pain that went deep into the bone suddenly erupted.
His body suddenly twitched, and his center of gravity was unstable. He almost fell into the abyss.
"Step!" Fu Yi's roar exploded in his ears.
Huai Shi had no doubts. His front paw slapped down in the void, as if he had slapped on a rock, and was lifted up by psychokinesis. He finally staggered and landed on the other side of the crack.
What was shocking was that after leaving the other side of the crack, the torrential rain also magically disappeared.
They could even see the remnants of the setting sun here.
The air was dry, and the ground was solid.
At this moment, Huai Shi felt the phantom pain on his hind leg slowly dissipate.
He panted violently, and saliva fell from his mouth. He asked blankly, "What's going on?"
"I was going to ask you what's going on."
The stoat holding the sharp horn on his forehead lowered its head and looked into his eyes, unable to contain its anger. "Why didn't you respond to me no matter how I called you? If it weren't for the last jump, we would be dead! "
"I … I heard you tell me to look back …"
Huai Shi panted in fear, and felt the chill on his back finally dissipate.
If it weren't for the premonition of death that saved his life, and Huai Shi's rich experience in seeking death, he was afraid that this time he would have died inexplicably.
Compared to the power of the Hand of Confinement, he was afraid that this was the golden finger that Crow had painstakingly stuffed into him.
Without this skill, he was afraid that he would have died many times over.
Fu Yi stared at him for a long time, as if finally confirming that the person in this shell was the real him, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"You can look back now."
Huai Shi had the courage to look back at this moment.
Across the gray rainstorm and the crack that was like a natural chasm, Huai Shi caught a glimpse of the original situation on the other side of the crack.
Countless figures with blurry faces were suspended in the air, standing on the ground, and even the broken limbs and distorted faces poked out of the soil. When they gathered together, the dark color was like a tide, swallowing everything with the torrential rain.
Across the distance, they stared straight at the two living people who had escaped from their hands.
Even if it was difficult to see their faces, he could still feel the pure hunger and jealousy.
In the deepest part of the crack, in the ruins of the city that sank into the mud and darkness, there was a dark and slender hand that slowly retracted.
It swayed like seaweed.
Huai Shi looked down at his hind leg, and a pale white palm print had yet to fade.
Under the erosion of the acid rain, the carapace there had actually softened like mud and flowed away, leaving only a palm-sized gap, exposing the grayish-black skin.
Under the corrosion of the remaining strong acid, it brought a dull pain.
"What exactly is that?" Fu Yi asked with lingering fear.
"I guess that group of damned things don't even know what they are?"
After a long time, Huai Shi withdrew his gaze from the group of dark figures bound in the torrential rain and sighed softly, "Generally speaking, let's just treat those things as part of hell."
The so-called hell was such a strange place.
