Chapter 153 Stepping into the Gray Fog
The vast gray fog that lingers around the misty valley all year round.
The characteristics of this gray fog are very obvious, as if it is restricted by some invisible restraint, there is an obvious dividing line on the outside of the valley.
One side of the dividing line is an extremely dense gray fog, and it is impossible to see anything inside through the fog;
The other side is a clean and normal environment without any interference.
There are no transition areas like normal fog.
The fog in the Misty Valley is very unusual.
There is a hint of horror in the mystery.
This valley is less than 30 kilometers away from Ceylon's No. 3 Defense Line. It is definitely not an inaccessible place. However, except for Pat and his party, other adventurers and mercenaries have stayed away from this place to a large extent. The above is because of the two words "not returned".
In the past, adventurers have tried to discover the secrets of the valley.
The result is that no matter whether level 1, 2, or 3 or higher professionals, as long as they step into the thick gray fog that permeates the valley, they will never come back.
The weirdest thing is that others are not even sure what these "missing people" encountered inside.
The moment the whole person completely stepped into the gray fog, it seemed as if he was directly cut off from the world!
No matter how people outside call or remind, there will be dead silence in the gray fog, and no response will come out.
Some people have tried auxiliary means, such as attaching positioning magic and divine spells to adventurers, and then exploring.
Be it magic or divine spells, they will lose their effect the moment the adventurer completely enters the gray mist.
Someone specially made a special costume with a rope, and asked the companion to hold one end of the rope outside.
As a result, when you drag it along the rope, you can only pull out one intact special garment.
People are missing.
This is the most penetrating.
If there were some terrifying monsters in the fog that ate people, they couldn't help take off their clothes before eating them, right?
Do I still have to peel it before eating?
The most vivid description should be that there seems to be some terrifying existence in the fog. As long as someone enters, they will be "eliminated" from the world in an instant.
"Elimination" in the complete sense, this process will not involve fighting, will not leave 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 in the dark forest. No one dares to come here again to die in vain.
In fact, no one will even get close to the Misty Valley unless necessary.
Although the gray fog looks calm and peaceful, it only permeates the outer areas of the misty valley.
But what if one day this thing is in a bad mood and suddenly spreads?
So far, the number of people who have successfully walked out of this gray fog is zero!
Not one!
…
Looking at the dense gray fog that was quietly surging in front of him, even Brandon, who had always been the most courageous, felt a little scared.
He won't be afraid if he is asked to hunt monsters. After all, [The Secret of All Things] can directly know the status of monsters, and the effect of each attack hit is real.
Just kill the monster before it kills him.
But this one in Misty Valley is different!
The principle is unknown, and the conditions for its effectiveness are unknown. The only thing that can be known is that everyone who entered has not been able to come back!
Brandon's voice was a little weak: "How about we ask the Lord again if... there should be some 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 hesitantly stretched out his hand and touched the diffuse gray mist, and it was gone at the first touch.
The moment he came into contact with the gray mist, a new oracle flooded into Brandon's mind:
[The progress of the main mission has been updated! 】
[Current goal: step into the gray mist and activate the altar of creation! 】
"Okay, god of knowledge, I get it!"
After receiving the oracle, Brandon felt confident. The unknown is the scariest thing.
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 launch an exploration of the unknown!
Brandon took a deep breath.
"Everyone, leave it to me!"
"I'll be the first to go in and explore the path for you, to see what secrets there are in the gray mist!"
…
Holding your breath and striding into the gray fog, the world around you seemed to have become quiet.
The sounds of wind, leaves, insects, and birds in the dark forest all disappeared instantly.
Brandon felt as if something swept over him, but he couldn't be sure. Maybe it was just an illusion he had under tension.
Other than that, nothing happened.
He was still well in the gray fog.
There are no scary monsters;
There is no direct gaze from the evil god;
There is nothing. It can even be said that the gray mist is terrifyingly calm.
If it had been anyone else, they might have been fearful at this time, afraid to move or trying to retreat.
Brandon is different.
He stepped forward without hesitation!
The guidance sent down by the God of Knowledge is to let him step into the gray fog. The Lord's guidance will definitely not harm him!
After only walking 5 steps forward, my eyes suddenly opened up!
The moment when I saw the real scene in the valley:
“I am...the god of knowledge!”
…
Beyond the valley.
Peter and others were nervously paying attention to the situation of gray fog.
When Brandon stepped into it, the gray mist filled the air with some ripples, as if it were swallowing up the people in front of it, and then calmed down again.
"Brandon?"
Peter called out tentatively.
No response.
I don’t know if it’s because the gray fog can’t transmit sound, or for other reasons. After Brandon entered, he looked like the adventurers in the past, and there was no more news.
Fortunately, Pet and the others have another way to contact Brandon.
"The winged snake dances and comes through the gap."
After decisively reciting the prayer of the instant messenger, Peter quickly edited the message and sent it to the target: Brandon Robert!
[Pete Chinar: How is the situation in the gray fog? Are you okay? what happened? 】
The magical message was successfully sent, which made Peter sigh in relief.
This shows that Brandon is at least still alive.
Instant messengers can only be used to send messages to each other among believers who believe in the God of Knowledge. Moreover, if the other party is dead, the sender will be prompted that the target of the message cannot be found and the sending failed.
Being able to successfully send it to Brandon means that the God of Knowledge's magic can be used even after the opponent steps into the gray mist, 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 pass through, come in and help! Die, die, die! ! ! 】
