The night was dark like water.
There was almost no light at all in the dense forest at night.
Everyone nestled in the tree hole and soon fell asleep, snoring one after another.
Luo Yuan remained vigilant for a while. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he closed his eyes and began to look into his body. He gathered his Will and carefully scanned every corner of his body, including every tiny tissue. He did not miss out on even the flowing blood. Now, this kind of behavior had become his daily homework.
Especially when he found out that his Zhanmadao had almost become like a legendary magical weapon under the influence of his Will, he became even more proactive.
Sometimes he thought that perhaps his body was already as spiritual as the Zhanmadao. Even if his arm was cut off, it did not mean that it would be out of his control. Just like the legendary gods and monsters, they could control the severed arm to fly and then reattach it to the body. During the process, not even a drop of blood would flow.
However, these were just speculations. He did not dare to test it out.
The night breeze blew gently, and the forest rustled from time to time. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable throbbing. Luo Yuan woke up with a start. He looked at his body sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the tree hole and his expression changed. He realized that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.
What Inner Vision? What fantasy? It was all just a dream.
A chill rose from his heart and spread all over his body. He suddenly became vigilant.
It was eerily quiet. Other than the rustling of the forest, there was no other sound. He turned around and looked at the others. They were still sleeping soundly.
"Wake up! Wake up! Don't sleep anymore! "
Luo Yuan called out softly a few times, but there was no response. Although his voice was soft, they had to keep one eye open even if they were asleep in the dangerous wilderness, let alone when someone was calling them. Apparently, they had already fallen into a deep sleep.
His face was solemn. He grabbed the Zhanmadao in front of him and seemed to want to stand up, but he thought about it and sat down again.
There was no sign of movement outside. Other than making people fall asleep unknowingly, there was no harm done to them so far. Everyone was sleeping soundly, and even the two mutated beasts outside were not moving. They did not have the ability to protect themselves. If they went out rashly, they would not be able to find the enemy. If they took advantage of the time when he was out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now, he could only deal with the changes by remaining unchanged.
No one knew when it started, but the forest was filled with fog. The fog grew thicker and thicker. At first, it was as thin as a veil, but as time passed, it gradually became as thick as milk. In such a harsh environment, even with his eyesight, he could not see anything more than ten meters away.
As the night deepened, his drowsiness grew stronger and stronger. His eyelids grew heavy and his eyes became misty. He felt everything around him swaying and turning into double images. The drowsiness was so strong that he wanted nothing more than to close his eyes and have a good sleep. In fact, with his physique, even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, he wouldn't feel sleepy. But at this moment, the sleepiness was like gangrene that couldn't be dispelled no matter what.
He rubbed his face hard and stood up. He kept pacing on the spot. At first, it seemed to have some effect. His mind was much clearer, but it soon failed. His body seemed to be out of control and wanted to fall asleep.
In the end, he couldn't take it anymore. He took out a washed Wailing Grass and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly. As the pain came, his sleepiness was finally relieved.
… …
He was woken up by the heat. When he opened his eyes, it was almost noon.
He spat out a clump of grass from his mouth. It was the "Wailing Grass" that he did not manage to swallow yesterday. His face was as calm as still water. He had already forgotten how he fell asleep yesterday, but it should have been in the early hours of the morning. Perhaps his willpower had just relaxed a little, and he fell asleep in a daze.
He didn't expect that he would sleep until noon.
He felt a little scared just thinking about it. Fortunately, the environment here was special. Otherwise, he would have failed miserably.
Looking at the time, it was almost ten o 'clock. He walked out of the grotto and secretly probed the nearby plants and ores. He didn't find anything unusual. He frowned, as if there was a huge rock pressing on his heart.
If the reason for this sleep was the unique environment here, it would be fine. Other than letting people sleep, there was no danger. What he was most afraid of was that this ability was produced by some kind of terrifying mutated beast.
If it was the latter, it would make his scalp tingle when he thought about it.
He was very confident in his hearing, but from yesterday until now, he had not heard any movement. This meant that if there was really a terrifying mutated beast in the forest, it was definitely active within 10 kilometers of him.
It was beyond his imagination that its ability could affect Luo Yuan from such a long distance. Maybe he couldn't even get close to it.
He couldn't stop thinking about it. After a while, he recovered from his trance.
He quickly woke up the others.
This time, they woke up quickly. They were surprised to see the sky, but then they panicked. Since the apocalypse, they usually went to bed at seven or eight in the morning and woke up at five or six in the morning. It had become a habit, but this was the first time they woke up so late.
"Did something happen last night?" Huang Jiahui asked Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan shook his head and said seriously, "In fact, I just woke up, but we can't stay here anymore. We have to leave as soon as possible."
Seeing that even Luo Yuan was affected, everyone's expression changed. They knew that it was serious.
Luo Yuan walked out of the tree hole and woke up two other beasts that had been affected. The team quickly set off again. The giant lizard sped up under Luo Yuan's constant urging. The atmosphere was a little quiet along the way.
"What time is it?" Cao Ling suddenly asked after some time.
"Three o 'clock!" Huang Jiahui looked at the time and said.
"That means we've been running for almost five hours. This forest is too big!" Huo Dong said subconsciously.
Luo Yuan frowned. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't be sure. Time passed slowly, and the sun began to set again. He couldn't help but look at the time. It was already five o 'clock.
"Stop!" He shouted coldly.
Following the order, the giant lizard quickly stopped.
"Luo Yuan, what's wrong?" Zhao Yali asked, feeling that something was wrong.
"It seems like we've been running in circles!" Luo Yuan said seriously, "The terrain here is flat. With the giant lizard's speed, it should be able to run about four to five hundred kilometers. Including yesterday's run, we've already run about six to seven hundred kilometers. With such a long distance, we can even cross the Jiangnan Province."
Luo Yuan then took out the tree bark with the sketch on it. "Look at this map. There are mountains nearby, and the furthest distance is no more than a hundred kilometers. Until now, we haven't seen any. That can only mean one thing. We've been running in circles."
PS: I've been feeling a little weak lately, so I've been in the hospital. I'm really sorry.
