The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v2 Chapter 685: grass

As they crawled out onto the tundra through the hollow, they were seeing the returning herd of the year-ends. They hummed in the air like a terrible black cloud.

Fortunately, they left in time and were able to walk into the dense fog of the tundra before they returned.

There are many swamps that look like flat land on the livid tundra, and if you step into it, you will be swallowed. Stella has already explored a safe route, and Sean and his party just need to follow the map. The treacherous trek became extremely easy with the help of a notebook.

After a day of walking, they left the barren tundra, and there was a tall grass as high as a person in front of them.

Looking back at Raliyah at this time, the big city located at the entrance of the Great Dream Realm is looming in the dense fog, showing dark green and fine bionic textures. Still shocking. Not only that, even after such a long distance, you can still see the outline of the mountain in the center of the city...

They burrowed into the tall grass.

There is a more terrifying danger hidden in the grass than the year-end man. If it weren't for Stella's notes, it would be difficult to pass through this place.

According to the diagram, they found a raised high ridge. According to Stella's suggestion, they stepped on the ridge and walked forward. The grass on both sides of the ridge became more and more lush, and it was impossible to see what was hidden in it. However, a crisp sound could be heard from the music, like the sound of tapping wood, like some kind of low-pitched frog croaking...

While walking, there was a rustling sound in front of them, and they saw a coyote moving cautiously along the ridge by instinct. Suddenly, there was movement from its left side. I don't know what the timid mammal saw in the grass, and timidly jumped into the grass on the right.

Then, there was a terrible creaking sound in the grass.

"There's something in the grass..." Arthur turned to everyone and said, "Don't be influenced, just walk along the high ground!"

Although I know this truth, it is easier said than done. Since seeing the person who was treated as a sugar bag in the cave, Moonlight has been haunted by fear. He felt his thighs trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to be the last one, so he had to let Yiwen come back.

Walking nervously all the way. The dull cries of frogs in the grass became louder and denser.

Moonlight heard a sound behind him. A very bad sound.

He looked back in horror, his eyes seemed to pierce the grass behind him. Seeing the eyes of the moonlight, Yi Wen asked anxiously: "What's the matter?" The people in front of the team also stopped and turned their heads.

Moonlight saw a huge thing coming out of the tall grass behind Ivan. Just looking at that thing gave him chills.

It was the inflated sugar bag man in the cave, and he followed. The swollen body was filled with Binon, and the swollen eyes of death stared at the moonlight. He opened his mouth to speak, and green thick juice dripped down on his belly like saliva.

"Moonlight, what did you see?!" In Moonlight's eyes, Ivan, who was standing next to the sugar bag man, shouted.

The pianist lost his mind and turned around like a frightened horse and rushed towards the front of the team. Sean clicked his tongue, and flung out the ectoplasm to trap Moonlight's arm. The pianist rushed down the **** and into the tall grass. In the grass, dry frogs croaked.

He originally planned to run farther under the cover of tall grass, but before he took a few steps, one of his feet was swallowed by the soil.

His figure sank rapidly. It turned out that the bottom of the ridge was all swamps. Something in the swamp was gathering towards him. He saw a half-rotten human head sticking out of the water, the mouth opened at an angle that tore the corner of the jaw, and then closed suddenly, click! The teeth made a crisp sound. Frogs.

There are more such heads floating in the swamp. Human heads and animal heads were all exaggeratingly banging their own teeth, rushing towards them, and the sound of successive clenching sounds became one piece. They all widened their eyes full of madness, as if they planned to eat themselves with their mouths...

Dizzy, Yueguang felt himself being pulled up. Sean's ectoplasm pulled him back up the slope.

The second scare overshadows the first scare. Moonlight sat on the **** in a daze, and looked back at Ivan, only to see a little thing with fur reflecting various illusions running away along the ridge.

"Fake tiger and fox." Moonlight turned pale and covered in cold sweat, "It's the fake tiger and fox mentioned in the notebook, it pretends to be a sugar bag man to scare me...it knows I'm afraid of that thing!

"There are heads under the grass!" The moonlight pointed to the depths of the grass again, "The animals and people who fell were soaked in the swamp, and they turned into some strange things..."

Through the mask, it can be found that Yueguang's eyes have become lax and lifeless.

"Okay, Moonlight..." Sean came over and squatted in front of his old buddy. He held poor Moonlight's head in his hands, a golden flame ignited in his soul, the pianist, who was tortured enough by fear, finally calmed down, his limbs warmed up, and his face became bloody. His heart was no longer filled with fear.

"This environment seems to be targeting you..." Sean sighed.

Moonlight is the artist with the most experience in the team. This environment seems to know that he is the breakthrough point of the whole team, and constantly inflicts mental blows on him.

Arthur also came over. He squatted behind the moonlight and pressed **** on the back of the pianist's neck. Suddenly, a segment of gray blue light appeared on Moonlight's cervical spine...

That segment of blue light is squirming.

"It's Qingting." Arthur cut through the moonlight's skin with his spiritual matter, and forced the blue thing out from under the moonlight's skin. The bug disappeared in a flash like an electric arc when it touched the air.

"Qingting is an incorporeal creature. It sniffs your soul surge and sneaks into your body when you are distracted. Then, it transmits your fear to the fake tiger fox in a certain way. The fake tiger fox is responsible for stimulating the It's a fear that drives you down the slope. While they feed the swamp, they also get a piece of the pie. This is the ecology of the tall grass..." Arthur read almost from the notebook.

There are countless heads protruding from the swamp... Their combined hunting seems to be very efficient. Moonlight swallowed, still feeling lingering fear.

The wild ecology of R'lyeh is surprisingly consistent with the rules in the corridor of eternal sleep, but the night watchmen use more systematic nightmares, and these "self-taught" wild animals use some very direct s method.

After the moonlight regained some, the group continued to move forward. This time they changed their formation, with two fully enlightened beings walking at the front and back of the team respectively. They were always vigilant around their surroundings to prevent the two insidious things, Qing Ting and Fake Tiger Fox, from affecting the team members again.

After several hours of trekking, the grass around them that was once higher than their heads finally became shorter and sparser—they were almost out of the grass.

At this time, I can finally see the scene in the swamp under the tall grass. Those guys whose bodies were submerged in the swamp, with only their heads exposed, followed behind them all the time. In the gaps in the tall grass, heads of various shapes were swimming on both sides, knocking their teeth constantly, staring at the people on the shore...

Moonlight felt that what appeared in front of him was a scene from a nightmare: "It's really strange...why are you soaking in the swamp like this?"

He suddenly noticed something, and his eyes widened: "Look, it's Lucent!" The group of people looked in that direction, and sure enough, they found that the person who ran away alone was also in the swamp, with red eyes and distorted expression.

Moonlight subconsciously imitated Sean and stretched out the ectoplasm, wrapped around Lucent's head~lightnovelpub.net~ and tried to pull the poor man out.

After a crisp sound of the root being pulled out from the mud, it was indeed pulled out. However, what was pulled out was a **** vertebra, and some kind of roots had penetrated between the vertebrae.

"Goodbye Lucent!" Moonlight pushed him back to the original place, and walked forward quickly.

Speeding up the pace, he finally left the tall grass. The heads that had obviously become part of the swamp could not swim out of the swamp. They stayed in the water and looked at them. Angry frogs croaked. Moonlight dared not look back.

The tundra journey was finally coming to an end when they saw the "border". It was a cliff more than ten meters high. This cliff stretched towards the left and right sides, with no end in sight.

The Nightmare Wall, or Nightmare Cliff, has always stood on the edge, shattering people's hopes of escape and capturing the souls of those who have traveled all the way to the border... It is the largest in the wild ecology of R'lyeh beneficiaries, and the only wild artifacts that R'lyeh's administrators seem to acknowledge exist.

To leave the tundra, one must climb over it.
