The sky was just beginning to brighten. The forest was shrouded in a faint mist, and the air was cold and damp.
Law stood at the top of the giant tree, surrounded by an endless sea of trees. The white mist was everywhere. It was not thick, but it also made the canopy looming.
His eyes were focused and fell far away, where the vague outline of the world tree could be seen.
"Hoo."
Law exhaled a burst of hot air, and sucked in a breath of cold air. He slowly closed his eyes, and with a little force under his feet, his body flew backward for a distance and fell vertically to the ground.
His body broke through the mist, and the sound of the wind disturbed his ears.
When he was only about two meters away from the ground, Law opened his eyes, turned a concise somersault, and adjusted to the position of his head and feet.
When he was about to touch the ground, his mental power was released from the soles of his feet, which resolved the falling force generated when he fell, and he landed steadily.
The team was ready to go, watching Law fall in front of them.
Without stopping much, after identifying the direction, they walked into the forest.
Law walked in front, Biscay followed, and Dongba and Bruna were in the middle.
With Miss Cookie as a backing, Law asked Dongba to maintain the investigation circle all the time and only stop when he was exhausted.
Although Dongba's investigation circle can effectively avoid many obstacles, there are also things that can't be detected, such as black shadows.
Releasing the investigation circle all the time will consume mental power all the time. When the mental power is exhausted and the physical strength is exhausted, let Miss Cookie massage it, and it will recover in half an hour.
This means that every less than two hours of walking, he has to stop and rest for half an hour.
To a certain extent, the duty that Dongba had to perform was an urgent training that could not be delayed.
A day passed. Dong Ba was miserable beyond words, but he also adapted to it.
As long as the current situation is maintained for a period of time, Dongba's use of mental power and mental power skills will make great progress.
"What's the matter with this fog?"
Black Cat squatted at the entrance of the tree hole and looked at the humidity blowing in from the outside, which was quickly burned away by the temperature of the fire.
He thought it was just an ordinary mist in the early morning, but after a day, the mist showed no signs of dissipating.
No one answered Black Cat's question.
Luo raised his hand and pressed it on the wall of the tree. His palm was wrapped with some Psychokinesis, and he opened a small hole. Wisps of mist were pervasive like water, and they drilled in in an instant.
This was a fog that lasted from dawn to night. It was clear during the day, but not so clear at night. However, one could still feel the presence of the fog.
Law sealed the small hole with his backhand, leaned against the tree wall, and closed his eyes.
They believed that the forest at night would be more dangerous than during the day, so once night fell, they had to find a place to rest and wait for dawn to come.
Black Cat was responsible for guarding the place at night, so the rest of the team could rest at ease.
Only in the middle of the night could Dong Ba feel at ease. At the very least, he could fall into a deep sleep without being on guard.
The next morning, he hastily ate some dry rations for breakfast, left the temporary tree hole, and continued to advance into the forest.
The fog did not stop.
Yesterday, there was a thin mist, so visibility was quite high. This morning, it was obviously a little thicker.
"The fog is getting thicker."
Luo walked in front and said in a low voice.
"Okay." Biscay responded.
Even if the mist showed signs of thickening, there was no anomaly in the forest, and everything was as usual.
A week passed like this, and the team did not encounter any danger, but the fog lasted for a week and did not dissipate, and the creatures in the forest did not have any obvious reaction to the gradually thickening fog.
They were puzzled and puzzled, and they did not even know why.
However, the team did not stop because of this. With Dong Ba's scouting circle, they passed through without hindrance.
Another week passed, and the fog was so thick that the visibility was only three or four meters away.
Law was not sure how far it would take to cross the sea of trees, but they had been on the road for more than half a month, and it could be considered a fruitful journey.
Along the way, it was quite smooth, and they did not encounter any difficult existences.
Law maintained a cautious and careful attitude, and would rather put aside his curiosity sometimes than let the team encounter danger.
In half a month, the one who changed the most was Dong Ba.
Every time he was on the road, he had to keep releasing his Psychokinesis. At first, he could only maintain it for two hours. Now, he could maintain it for nearly three hours.
He was hardworking and could gradually maintain his calmness in the face of danger, which made Law start to look at him in a new light.
Simply put, it was because of the obvious comparison with the Black Cat that made Law feel that Dong Ba had become more useful than the Black Cat. At least, he was moving closer to the status of a qualified teammate.
If Dong Ba was just a tool radar half a month ago, then Dong Ba was now a human-shaped radar. If possible, Law hoped that Dong Ba could become a real teammate radar.
It had to be said that it was a wise choice to unearth Dong Ba's Psychokinesis and bring him to the Dark Continent.
The thick fog that shrouded the sea of trees was like an invisible wall that prevented people from moving forward. However, with Dong Ba's radar, although the speed of the team would be slower, at least they would not encounter some creatures in the thick fog.
Law's goal was to cross the sea of trees, so he tried to avoid fighting as much as possible, and even took a longer detour.
In this way, they walked calmly for a month, and the thick fog still did not dissipate.
After coming to the Dark Continent for a few years, they were more or less accustomed to it and didn't take it seriously.
However, during this period, Law climbed to the top of the tree many times, stepped on air, and rose into the air, trying to get out of the thick fog and identify the direction and approximate position. Strangely, no matter how high he rose, he was still in the thick fog.
It was as if the fog that shrouded the sea of trees was in the shape of a chimney to the sky.
After many attempts, Law gave up. Although he was not sure that the direction was right, at least he went deeper.
On this day, the smooth journey was broken.
Law and the others were on their way as usual. Suddenly, from far away, there was a crow's cry.
Because it was far away, they didn't pay attention to it, and they didn't have the intention to explore it.
However, the crow's cry was like a shadow, making people restless.
"Behind us?"
After walking for several hours, the crow's voice had been hanging in their ears. Law asked Dong Ba many times about the situation.
"No."
Dong Ba shook his head. He also felt that the crow's cry was annoying, but the investigation circle didn't find it. That is to say, the crow was far away from them, but the cry was quite clear.
Since the crow was far away, they endured it.
After another twenty minutes or so, the crow's cry was still lingering.
As the team walked, Dong Ba suddenly stopped.
Law and Biscay saw him stop and immediately became alert.
"It's a familiar feeling." Dong Ba murmured.
"What?" Law asked strangely.
"I seem to have eaten something bad?"
Dong Ba said in an uncertain tone, and his stomach suddenly made a sound like a drum. Suddenly, he covered his buttocks with his hands tightly.
