Chapter 84 The end of the long river, the upstream of time
Su Mu sat on the back of the cow and looked around in confusion. The environment was slightly dim, and strange-shaped crooked-necked trees grew on the bank of the river.
A gust of wind gave Su Mu some goosebumps and gave him an eerie feeling.
“How long have I slept?!”
Su Mu asked Qingniu.
Eyes——
Hearing Qing Niu’s response, Su Mu’s eyes widened.
What?
Slept for three days?
"I came out to work, why didn't you wake me up?" Su Mu asked through gritted teeth.
After saying this, Qing Niu remained silent, feeling a little aggrieved.
Didn’t you tell me to keep moving forward?
Besides, you are asleep, how can I dare to wake you up?
I don’t dare to stop either.
“That’s all.”
Su Mu didn't blame Qingniu, after all, he was the one who told it to keep moving forward.
He jumped off the back of the cow, carefully looked at his surroundings, and found that he had reached the river very upstream, which he had never been before.
Because Su Mu’s affinity for rivers was not high in the past, the further upstream he walked, there would always be strange fog, and the thicker the fog became, he would feel dizzy while walking, so he It never went too deep.
The speed of the green bull was not slow, and it walked for three days and three nights without stopping. Who knows where it did for itself.
“Didn’t you encounter any strange fog when you left?”
Su Mu was a little surprised as to why Xiao Qingzi could pass through those strange fogs.
Hearing this, Qing Niu also shook his head.
Because it carried Su Mu along this way, he did not encounter any fog and walked smoothly.
Su Mu looked downstream and found that fog had begun to form. The time for fog on this river is not fixed. Sometimes there is no fog for several days, and sometimes it is foggy for a month. Fog covering.
It’s better now. It’s foggy. It will be fun if we can’t go back later.
Although this fog will not cause any substantial harm to Su Mu, it is very easy for him to get lost. Once a few months ago, Su Mu also had a very heavy fog when he was patrolling, and it took him three days to find him. Back home.
So, when Su Mu usually goes to a place he has never been to before, he will mark it on the road in advance. Since he fell asleep just now, he did not mark it at all, and now the fog is starting to rise.
Forget it, forget it, let’s wait until the fog clears. Let’s look for treasures around here first, or patrol and explore.
He walked to the river and found that the water flow here was very slow, so slow that it seemed like it was still.
Immediately, he released his mental induction and prepared to summon the dolphin, and Kong ray came here.
The response he received was that the other party could not find the water area where he was, which made Su Mu feel strange.
At this time, Su Mu thought of something, took out a piece of treasure fish meat from the space ring, tied it with a rope, and put it in the water on the river bank.
Then I waited quietly. After at least half a stick of incense, no fish came.
It can be seen that there are no fish in the water in front of us.
Why Su Mu is so sure? This is because Su Mu’s piece of precious fish meat is an irresistible bait for most fish in the water. Normally, if Su Mu throws a small piece into the river, it will attract countless fish to fight for it. Food. Could it be that this is stagnant water?
There is a saying in the fishing world about "stagnant water", which generally refers to waters that are stagnant and have corrupt water.
There will be no fish in such dead waters.
However, although the water here flows very slowly, it is still flowing slowly. As long as the water is flowing, it will not become stagnant water.
After unable to figure out the reason, Su Mu returned to the shore.
He looked at the crooked-necked trees growing on the shore. They were also weird and crooked, like tree demons with teeth and claws.
In the waters near Sumu Stone House, there are generally few trees to be seen. Basically, you can only see a tree several hundred meters away.
But, it’s so densely packed here, there must be hundreds of trees, right?
At this time, Su Mu noticed some unusual fluctuations coming from the depths of the forest ahead.
Su Mu walked to the green cow and tied the rope around its neck to a crooked tree nearby. Then he patted its back and warned: "It's foggy now. This fog is very dangerous." , just stay here and don’t run around.”
After that, he left a trace of his own aura on Qingniu to prevent him from getting separated later.
Hearing this, Old Qingniu also nodded.
After doing all this, Su Mu turned around and looked deep into the Waibo woods. Suddenly his mouth felt dry and he swallowed unconsciously.
I don’t know why, but the curiosity and desire in his heart kept pushing him towards the depths.
With the mentality of finding some good treasures, Su Mu gritted his teeth and walked deeper, and soon disappeared into the mist.
The closer you get to the depths, the more obvious the cold feeling becomes. This cold feeling is not an ordinary cold, but deep into the soul, and the soul is trembling.
As I walked, I found that the fog was getting thicker and thicker. The color of the fog changed from gray to gray-black. I don’t know if it was Su Mu’s illusion. He smelled a faint decay from the fog. , vicissitudes of life, and the taste of desolation.
This weird smell made him feel an uncontrollable feeling of fear. This is human instinct.
Actually, Su Mu himself is not very afraid, but once people enter an extremely dangerous and strange environment, they will spontaneously feel fear. This is the fear of the unknown.
While walking, Su Mu found that his brain was a little groggy, and he slowed down.
However, Su Mu, who was always cautious, would leave a mark every step he took, so as not to find his way back later.
After walking about thirty meters more, the fog completely turned black, and the cold feeling became more and more obvious, which had already affected Su Mu's walking.
Actually, these are not big problems.
But I don’t know why, but countless fearful thoughts will continue to arise in my mind.
The scary thing is that these fearful thoughts do not come from himself. It seems that the outside world is constantly implanting these fearful thoughts in his mind, affecting his mentality.
At this time, Su Mu suddenly stopped. He felt that he was very close. He had already walked so far. It was impossible to turn back the same way, right?
He took out a piece of purple bamboo from the space ring, raised his head, put a few drops of wine into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
After a while, Su Mu felt a little drunk, but he was not drunk and his consciousness was still very clear.
As the saying goes, wine can make you bold. After drinking a few drops of Zizhu wine, the countless fearful thoughts in your heart will be wiped away.
He strode forward, walking faster and faster, almost running.
Finally, he passed through the last dense forest and pushed aside the blocking leaves in front of him. Suddenly, the black fog disappeared instantly, and his vision suddenly became clearer.
“What is this place?”
Su Mu was stunned on the spot, suddenly sobering up from the wine.
