Chapter 153 Stepping into the Gray Mist
The vast gray fog that permeates the periphery of the Misty Valley all year round.
The characteristics of this gray fog are very obvious, as if it is restricted by some invisible constraints, and there is a clear dividing line outside the valley.
On one side of the dividing line is extremely dense gray fog, and it is impossible to see anything inside through the fog;
On the other side is a clean and normal environment without any interference.
Unlike normal fog, there is no transition area.
The gray fog in the Misty Valley is very abnormal.
There is a bit of horror in the mystery.
This valley is less than 30 kilometers away from Ceylon's No. 3 defense line. It is definitely not a place that is rarely visited, but except for Pete and his party, other adventurers and mercenaries stay away from this place, largely because of the two words "never returned".
In the past, it was not that no adventurer tried to explore the secrets of the valley.
As a result, no matter whether it was a professional with a rating of level 1, level 2, level 3 or higher, as long as they stepped into the dense gray fog outside the valley, they never came back.
The weirdest thing is that other people can't even be sure what these "missing people" encountered inside.
The moment a person completely stepped into the gray fog, it was as if they were directly cut off from the world!
No matter how people outside called or reminded, there would be a dead silence in the gray fog, and no response came out.
Some people have tried auxiliary means, such as hanging magic and divine arts to locate the adventurers, and then entering the exploration.
Whether it is magic or divine arts, the moment the adventurer completely enters the gray fog, it will lose its effect.
Someone specially made a special costume with a rope, and asked his companions to hold one end of the rope outside.
As a result, when dragging along the rope, only a special costume that was intact could be dragged out.
The person disappeared.
This is the most creepy.
If there is some terrifying monster in the fog that eats people, it can't deliberately help take off the clothes before eating, right?
Do you have to peel the skin before eating?
The most vivid description should be that there seems to be something terrifying in the fog, and as long as someone enters, it will be "eliminated" from this world in an instant.
"Elimination" in the full sense, this process will not involve fighting, will not leave any traces, and will happen in an instant.
After paying the price of a large number of adventurers "not returning", the Misty Valley has completely become a restricted area of the Dark Forest, and no one dares to come here to die in vain.
Even if it is not necessary, no one will even get close to the Misty Valley.
Although the gray fog looks stable and peaceful, it only permeates the area outside the Misty Valley.
But what if this thing is in a bad mood one day and spreads all of a sudden?
So far, the number of people who have successfully walked out of this gray fog is zero!
Not even one!
...
Looking at the dense gray fog that is quietly surging in front of him, even Brandon, who has always been the most courageous, is a little scared.
He would not be afraid to hunt monsters, after all, [The Secret of All Things] can directly know the status of monsters, and the effect of each attack is real.
As long as the monster is killed before it kills him, it will be fine.
But the Misty Valley is different!
The principle is unknown, the conditions for effectiveness are unknown, and the only thing we know is that all those who went in have not come back!
Brandon's voice was a little weak: "Why don't we ask the Lord again, is there... there should be a way to enter?"
"Well, I'm not afraid, I just think we should be more cautious, anyway... I'm really not afraid at all!"
Brandon hesitated and carefully reached out his hand to touch the diffused gray fog, and it left as soon as it touched.
The moment he touched the gray fog, a new oracle flooded into Brandon's mind:
[The progress of the main task has been updated! ]
[Current goal: step into the gray fog and activate the creation altar! ]
"Okay, God of Knowledge, I understand!"
After receiving the oracle, Brandon felt confident.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
But since the God of Knowledge has given guidance, it means that He is watching here!
What he should do at this time is to muster up the courage to explore the unknown!
Brandon took a deep breath.
"Everyone, leave it to me!"
"I will be the first to go in and explore the way for you to see what secrets are in the gray fog!"
...
Holding his breath and striding into the gray fog, the world around him seemed to be quiet.
The sound of wind, leaves, insects, and birds in the dark forest disappeared instantly.
Brandon felt as if something swept across him, but he was not sure. Maybe it was just an illusion caused by his nervousness.
Other than that, nothing happened.
He was still in the gray fog.
There were no terrifying monsters;
No evil gods looking directly at him;
Nothing, it can even be said that the gray fog was terrifyingly calm.
If it were someone else, they might be afraid at this time, dare not move or try to retreat and turn back.
Brandon was different.
He stepped forward without hesitation!
The guidance from the God of Knowledge was to let him step into the gray fog. The Lord's guidance would not harm him!
He only walked 5 steps forward, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear!
The moment he saw the real scene in the valley:
"Oh my... God of Knowledge!"
...
Outside the valley.
Pete and the others were nervously watching the gray fog.
When Brandon stepped into it, the gray fog was filled with some ripples, as if swallowing people like a whale, and then it returned to calm again.
"Brandon?"
Pete called out tentatively.
No response.
I don't know if it's because the gray fog can't transmit sound, or for some other reason, Brandon looked like the adventurers in the past after entering, and there was no news.
Fortunately, Pete and the others had another way to contact Brandon.
"The winged snake dances and comes through the gap."
After reciting the prayer of the instant messenger decisively, Pete quickly edited the message and sent it to the target: Brandon Robert!
[Pete Qinar: What's the situation in the gray fog? Are you okay? What happened? ]
The divine message was sent successfully, which made Pete breathe a sigh of relief.
This means that Brandon is at least still alive.
The instant messenger can only be used to send messages between believers of the God of Knowledge, and if the other party is dead, the sender will be prompted that the target of the message cannot be found and the message has failed.
The fact that it can be successfully sent to Brandon means that the magic of the God of Knowledge can be used even after the other party steps into the gray fog, and Brandon is not dead yet.
A few seconds later, Brandon's reply came:
[Brandon Robert: Fuck, fuck, fuck! Stop sending messages! I don't have time to reply to you! The gray fog can be passed through, come in and help! I'm dying, dying, dying!!!]
