At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

"hiss……"

When everyone saw the sudden red light, they subconsciously took a step back.

A circle of red light suddenly lit up on the surface of a large tree that was originally lifeless, and the scene was a little strange.

Kakakka~

The surface of the rotten tree began to shake slightly, and it actually stood up bit by bit.

"Dryad? A dead dryad?"

Under everyone's gaze, the tree spirit moved its huge body and walked towards them step by step.

Silver Ripple floated at the front, and a group of green light condensed in front of him.

Behind it, a dozen pairs of emotionless eyes stared at the tree spirit.

"Whoops..."

Just when everyone was about to order their soul beasts to attack.

The tree spirit, which was hidden behind the thick white mist with only a pair of red eyes, suddenly stopped moving forward slowly. The red light flashed violently and quietly retreated.

"Leaving? He's quite smart. He actually knows how to assess the situation..." Han Ning didn't feel relieved because the tree spirit had withdrawn. Instead, he felt even weirder in his heart.

Everyone originally thought that the situation at the bottom of the valley was similar to that of the mountains and forests outside, and that there would be some beasts living there. However, they did not expect that the beasts were not seen, and the scene in front of them looked like a mass grave.

He turned to look at Lu Xiuning:

"Teacher Lu, do we still want to go deeper?"

"The old method is to try a drone." Lu Xiuning took out a drone from his backpack. "Although the fog is very thick and will seriously affect the shooting, we may be able to record some clues."

Last time, all their drones crashed in the mushroom forest, and the one they have now is a stock in the academy.

Soon, the drone took off and flew towards the dim and sparse forest.

However, before the drone flew over a hundred meters.

Suddenly there was a faint flapping of wings in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of fire suddenly burst out in mid-air.

"The plane crashed..." Lu Xiuning's expression became serious, and he already had the intention to retreat, "Forget it, the danger ahead is unknown, so we'd better retreat."

Han Ning on the side saw clearly that when the drone was flying, a black smoke suddenly appeared around him, blocking his field of vision. Then, the drone turned into a ball of fire and fell.

And the cloud of smoke also disappeared without a trace.

"Okay." Han Ning patted the egg cake's back and motioned for it to change direction.

Seeing that the situation ahead was too strange, everyone lost the desire to continue exploring.

After a group of people walked along the trail for about 100 meters to the top of the mountain.

Han Ning suddenly stopped walking.

He frowned and looked at the still thick gray-white fog above, and said: "We have walked about a hundred meters, right? I remember that the area where the fog is layered is at most 20 meters away from us. How can we walk 100 meters ahead? Is the fog still so thick?”

Huhuhu~

Unconsciously, the originally white mist gained a touch of gray.

"Afraid of encountering a ghost attacking the wall?" Several people around him also noticed something unusual and looked at the surrounding gray mountains with vigilance.

"When encountering this kind of situation, it is usually because the brain's senses are bewitched, or it may be that it is trapped in an illusion." After the last experience of being affected by the brain-eating spider, Han Ning directly closed his eyes, channeled his mental power, and tried to use his mental power. , find a correct path.

Gradually, a rough topographic map of the surrounding area emerged in his mind.

At this time, everyone was still at the bottom of the valley, deviating about 50 meters to the west from where they were standing before.

"Go back." Han Ning opened his eyes.

With Han Ning guiding the way, the others didn't say anything. Under the protection of Yin Yi, they followed Han Ning into the thick gray-white fog.

Their figures were soon shrouded in thick fog.

Han Ning closed his eyes and, following the mental induction in his brain, led everyone back and continued walking for about 10 minutes.

A tall cave suddenly appeared 5 meters away from them.

"Cave?! Could it be that relying on mental power is a mistake?" Looking at the huge cave over 10 meters high in front of him, Han Ning's face became a little ugly.

He raised his head and looked around.

Except for the cave in front of me, the back, left, right, and top all turned into hard rock walls unconsciously.

"What kind of place is this? Even Han Ning's mental strength will be affected." Lu Xiuning took out a flashlight and looked around.

"Teacher Lu, Han Ning, what should we do next?" The expressions on the faces of the other people became more and more serious when they saw that even Han Ning could not get out of this weird ghost wall.

"We can only go forward and take a look. Maybe the exit is ahead." Lu Xiuning looked at the huge hole in front of him, as if it was a giant mouth that chooses people to eat, and said.

"That's all. Pay attention to safety." Teacher Zheng agreed.

"Everyone, come closer." Han Ning motioned for the others to come closer to Omelet, and then whispered to Omelet, "Enter mimicry."

Their figures quickly disappeared into the cave as if they were erased by an eraser.

The effective range of the egg pancake mimicry is within a distance of 2 meters around its body. If everyone is closer together, it can barely cover everyone and the spirit beast.

Since they couldn't locate their mental power, the group simply observed the surrounding terrain with their naked eyes, sticking to the stone wall and marching in the cave with a vigilant expression.

Silver ripples float ahead, avoiding possible dangers.

As the nine people gradually went deeper, they gained a clear understanding of the environment in the cave.

This is a vast cave, about the size of half a football field. The surface of the rock wall is inlaid with some stones that emit weak fluorescence, so that the vision inside the cave is not completely dark.

A large number of unknown soul beast corpses are scattered on the hard rock ground.

There are ugly monkeys, copper-feathered falcons, and some corpses that are difficult to identify.

"Ling!"

After walking a few steps, Yin Yi, who had been floating in front and exploring danger, suddenly stopped.

Han Ning's face changed slightly, and he immediately made a stop gesture: "Stop, there are unknown creatures approaching in front."

The other 8 people looked at each other and stopped immediately.

There was a rustling sound of a giant crawling in their ears.

They clung to the stone wall and didn't even dare to breathe.

In the dim environment, three strange snakes at least 15 meters long and covered with purple scales crawled less than 20 meters in front of them.

The scales came into contact with the rocky ground, making dense rustling sounds that made people's scalps numb.

Han Ning vaguely remembered that snakes, as creatures, rely on infrared eyes and snake signals to perceive the outside world.

He didn't know whether the mimicry of the egg pancake could filter out the sounds they made.

At present, it seems that these snakes have not found their traces, which should be useful.

This also means that the strength of the three big snakes passing by will not be much stronger than the egg pancake.
