Chapter 2726 Red and Black
The fog in the foggy land is not white, but a pink fog. If you stand not far away and look at this pink fog, you will feel that it is very beautiful! Especially the scenery of the fog slowly changing shape and moving slowly is really too beautiful.
Unfortunately, in this environment, any beautiful thing means it is best not to get close to it, because the brighter the color, the more dangerous it is.
Qian Ying also put on protective clothing and protective masks, walked to the front of the team, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, the protective clothing and protective masks prepared by my Qian family are the latest products, and the protective effect is very good. In fact, when the Qian family came here to explore a few months ago, they wore this set of protective clothing, which was one level lower than the current protective clothing, but they did not encounter any danger in the foggy land."
After a pause, he continued, "However, I would like to remind everyone here that after entering the foggy land, you must be careful not to scratch your protective clothing or let it be pierced by sharp objects. Once the airtight protective clothing is damaged, the foggy air will enter it, and there will be only one consequence. Therefore, when you move forward, you must follow the people in front of you, don't walk around, and don't set foot in other places."
"As you move forward, follow the signposts! We in the Qian family will place signposts on the road. These are the branches I just made in my hand. We will stick them into the ground to guide everyone in the direction of travel." Qian Ying held up the tree trunk in his hand. It was about one and a half meters long and as thick as a thumb. It was made from branches cut from other trees by the Qian family when they were resting.
The method of making it is also very simple, just make one end pointed and the other end flat, so that it can be easily inserted into the ground. After all, the ground is a thick layer of humus soil, very soft, and even a little muddy in some places.
Qian Ying made a key point this time. Actually, he lied. When the Qian family's previous team passed through this foggy place, two members died. Both of them died because their protective clothing was damaged in the foggy place.
But if he told everyone now that someone from the previous team had left, they might get scared and even quit and not want to enter the miasma land, which would disrupt his plan. So it was better to keep this kind of thing secret.
It was also because of this that he stood in front of the team for the first time and told everyone about the dangers and protection of the foggy land, instead of letting Qian Wantong explain it. It was because of his identity that it was easier for people to believe him.
Of course, Qian Ying actually considered all family members except his own warriors as consumables for the expedition. However, if there were casualties in the foggy land, these guys might back off. Therefore, it was better to give everyone peace of mind.
Besides, what he said later about the protective suit being torn or punctured was actually an ambush. If someone's protective suit happened to be torn during the walk and they died directly, then they would only say that they were unlucky, but no one would suspect anything else.
Qian Ying was just playing a psychological game, but for other family members, as long as there was a treasure ahead, there was nothing dangerous, as long as it did not exceed psychological expectations. Besides, there was always death in exploration, so even if there were casualties, everyone could accept it, as long as it did not happen to them.
After Qian Ying finished speaking, he returned to his own team, and at the same time he also signaled the Qian family warrior who was leading the team, asking him to lead everyone into the foggy area.
The warrior at the front twitched his lips, feeling a little helpless, but he had no other options. After all, he was just a small Karami at the fourth level of the acquired realm. He could only do whatever Elder Qian said.
Fortunately, I have a sharp knife in my hand through the protective clothing, so I can cut through the obstacles when I clear the way ahead. As long as I avoid those sharp objects and have a little bit of luck, there will be no problem.
He waved to the warriors of the Ouyang family behind him, signaling them to follow, and then his body slowly entered the mist.
The warriors of the Ouyang family who followed behind him were also nervous, but there was nothing they could do. A rope was tied around everyone's waist, and then they were connected one by one. The purpose of doing this was to prevent them from getting lost after entering the foggy land.
The warrior hesitated for a moment, the rope around his waist had been tightened, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow. When the others saw this, they naturally couldn't escape either, and followed one after another. Everyone had a rope around their waist, so no one could escape.
Chen Mo was still at the end of the Ouyang family, but this time he switched positions with Ouyang Ruoxi. He stood in front of Ouyang Ruoxi, and then took out some talismans again and arranged them for Ouyang Ruoxi. After all, if the others died, it would not matter to Chen Mo, but Ouyang Ruoxi could not. His main purpose of coming here was to ensure Ouyang Ruoxi's safety.
The two followed Ouyang Nana, one in front and one behind, and also walked into the foggy land. Behind Ouyang Ruoxi, followed the warriors of the Han family.
The fog in the foggy land is so dense that it is impossible to see far away through the fog. In the foggy land, you can only see the situation about one meter around you. Apart from that, you can't see anything beyond one meter. It's all pink fog. Walking into such a scene, Chen Mo was very curious about how the Qian family warrior in front of him could tell the direction. Fortunately, there was no innate warrior in front of the team, so he would not be detected by the divine sense.
So with a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he understood how the Qian family warriors distinguished the roads. In the fog, there was a tree every one meter or so, which was different from the surrounding trees, thus forming a road sign. However, if you don't pay attention, these trees are still difficult to distinguish.
It seems that the Qian family has a relatively high level of understanding of this place. However, why did so many members die here when they knew so much about this place?
The Qian family did not say this, but asked the warriors leading the way to insert branches into the tree trunks one by one as road signs. The warriors from the Ouyang family also helped to get some branches. Several people in the front of the team were holding a bundle of such branches. It seemed that the area of the foggy land was quite large.
However, why didn't the Qian family explain how to distinguish the different trees? Inserting the branches one by one was not only laborious, but also slowed down the entire team's progress.
Just as Chen Mo was thinking, his spiritual sense swept through the thick fog and he actually found a shadow coming rapidly in the fog.
What is this? Chen Mo immediately used his spiritual sense to check, and saw that the shadow was a poisonous snake with red and black alternating diamond patterns all over its body. The whole body was about two meters long, and it was crawling very fast. Even when climbing a tree, it did not slow down much, and it went up and down in an instant, very fast.
Moreover, these snakes were spitting out their tongues and sniffing around as they crawled, as if breaking into the foggy group was what attracted them to crawl over.
These red and black poisonous snakes crawled in the bushes and on the ground, and were not affected by the fog at all. Not only were they not poisoned to death, but they also did not lose their sense of direction. They just rushed straight towards the team.
Especially this kind of snake, in Chen Mo's consciousness, the long fangs and the triangular snake head all mean that this snake is not something to be triaged, after all, it is very poisonous.
Moreover, he also saw in his spiritual sense that there was not just one, but many crawling towards him from afar, all crawling towards his team.
However, when these poisonous snakes approached to a certain distance, about ten meters away, they suddenly stopped and stood up one-third of their bodies. Their tongues were sniffing around and the nostrils on their heads were opening and closing quickly, as if there was something here that made them feel a little disgusted or disliked!
Chen Mo knew that snakes' nostrils could not smell anything, they were only used for breathing, but this strong opening and closing was an expression of the snakes' emotions. The sense of smell of snakes was based on their snake signals. So when snakes crawl, they always make their snake bodies hesitate in order to distinguish smells.
But what makes these snakes stop moving forward?
The divine sense continued to explore, and after a while, it finally found a little clue. These snakes seemed to hate the branches that the Qian family warriors had stuck in the ground. It was these branches that seemed to form a barrier that prevented these poisonous snakes from moving forward.
Sure enough, the Qian family had some thought behind the use of tree branches.
After entering this foggy land, some warriors might see the difference between the trees from the Qian family's guide, and naturally remember them. Maybe they can rely on this method to pass through this foggy land in the future. If so, then every warrior who comes will be killed. If those warriors enter the foggy land, they will have no problem with the direction, but they will have no way to avoid these poisonous snakes.
Moreover, looking at the speed of these poisonous snakes, as well as the red and black colors on their bodies and the triangular heads, it is clear that the venom of these snakes is definitely very strong. One bite may cause you to ascend to heaven or die directly.
Because of the protective clothing and protective mask, Chen Mo had no way to smell anything, nor could he touch the tree trunk to find out what was on it. He couldn't tell anything just by using his spiritual sense. But the Qian family's tree trunk must have a little secret.
Perhaps, when the Qian family was making the branches, they used some ointment or spray on the branches, so these snakes stopped moving instead of attacking everyone.
The Qian family’s little tricks are to guard against everyone!
