Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 206: Skylight and Giant Insect

"It's a pity that the world can't see your true appearance," Ju Liancheng paused, thought about it, and shook his head again: "Forget it, everyone is different from me, I can't tell what the world likes, after all, even those three like you like this."

Pei Nai shook with goosebumps and suddenly felt someone pulling up the corner of his clothes.

She turned around and found that the corner of her clothes stained with her companion's blood was being swallowed and bitten by a small blue flower.

Pei Nai patted the flower's head, and the little blue flower immediately let go.

Even if it would turn into a man-eating monster when it grew up, Pei Nai couldn't bear to hurt it now.

She walked a few steps forward and saw a large blue grass not far away that was spraying water intermittently. It seemed to be an anomaly in this area.

According to the fourth circle's risk avoidance rules, they have to avoid the abnormal points in each block.

When they passed the first few blocks, they were so busy escaping that they had no time to pay attention to the location of the abnormal points.

So apart from the glowing buds in the 36th block, they didn't know what the other abnormal points looked like.

Han Ruize happened to pass by, so Pei Nai discussed with him: "So each anomaly is the leader of the plants that dominate this area, so if you provoke them or attract their attention, it will cause the plants in this area to riot?"

This is a new perspective. Han Ruize nodded after listening to it: "It's possible. So the rules of the fourth circle remind us to avoid abnormal points. Combined with what we just experienced, they are more like group operations, and the abnormal points are the command center."

Pei Nai noticed that he had just been running for a long time, but he was not out of breath at all, and looked at him with admiration: "You are still strong at your age, Mr. Han."

Han Ruize lowered his head and frowned at her, "I'm thirty-two this year, what are you talking about?"

"But I seem to be only twenty years old, and you are already a generation older than me." Pei Nai was talking about her real age excluding the past ten years, not to mention that Mingzhi's body was only sixteen years old.

Han Ruize thought about it, tapped her head with his hand again, and said, "Gu Jinheng is one year older than me." Then he turned and left.

These men really love to compare, Pei Nai complained.

The next two blocks are all going up, as if you are in a dense forest.

They tried to avoid unusual creatures as much as possible, so no accidents happened.

There is a large pool at the passage of the 43rd block, and there is a circle of mud around the pool.

In the turbid water, there are creatures swimming around. They don’t look like fish, but it’s impossible to tell what kind they are.

There was even a corpse of a Wu soldier floating on the water, swollen from being soaked.

The creatures in the pool did not attack them for the time being, so everyone hurried to leave.

As soon as we entered the 44th block, a tall and thin monster with multiple limbs stood on the side of the corridor.

Its tall head almost reached the top of the stone path, and it stared at them with its strange eyes, frightening Han Ruize and Pei Nai.

But at most they were frightened the first time, which did not make them feel afraid.

Pei Nai and Han Ruize looked at each other and instantly understood the reason for the rule of the fourth circle: "No fear or panic allowed."

Many creatures in the fourth circle are like the silent catfish in the twenty-first domain. If they do not capture the fear of humans, they will not be able to actively attack.

But now it is different from when they were in the Twenty-One Realm.

When they faced the Murky Catfish people, they were surrounded by a layer of uniform light water and could not open their eyes. Everything was filled with horror brought by the unknown.

But now we can see the monster's appearance clearly. As long as we can see the monster and defeat it with force, what is there to fear?
What's more, there were some gangsters present at the time, making it difficult to control accidents, but at this moment the team is full of well-trained elite soldiers.

Pei Nai and Han Ruize passed by the front of the team and pointed at the deformed monster above to remind everyone.

Everyone walked past the tall, multi-limbed monster one by one, but failed to attack it.

With this experience, they next encountered two monsters that could not actively attack, and nothing happened.

They climbed up all the way, experiencing the oppressive and dullness in the mountains, and finally saw the daylight in the 45th block.

This is a huge covered bridge halfway up the mountain, just hidden among the mountains. There is a deep abyss below, and there is nothing blocking the sky above, so the light shines through, which is extremely beautiful.

Warm sunshine, fresh air, and the chirping of birds.

It is refreshing everywhere and makes everyone feel much more relaxed.

Pei Nai saw the long-lost sunshine, stood by the covered bridge and took deep breaths, joy on his face.

But their joy didn't last long.

About five meters to the right of the covered bridge is a stone wall that is as smooth as if it was cut by an axe. The stone wall and the covered bridge are suspended in the air, and there are many huge holes on the stone wall.

Outside the cave entrance, there were dark stone pillars like prison walls, sealing off the interior, leaving them confused.

While they were observing and guessing, a strange giant insect tried to rush out. It roared and slammed the stone pillars, but was blocked.

The birds that landed nearby were scared away and flew away in a flutter.

"Why do I feel that this cave next to us looks like a lot of cages, and these giant insects are like being raised in captivity?" Pei Nai said, looking at the cave entrance.

Han Ruize nodded: "This meteorite is like another alien world, and part of it has crashed into our world."

"It brought so much trouble." Pei Nai said angrily.

If it weren't for the Hun tree fragments, Yue Cang wouldn't be able to achieve immortality and wars wouldn't be so frequent.

Han Ruize shook his head, rarely disagreeing with her words, "But it also saved your life. At least we can't blame it."

Pei Nai sighed softly.

"Then let's set things right and get everything back on track." was all she could say.

The covered bridge ahead came to an end and they re-entered the mountains.

The next three areas were still dense forests. Walking in the tangled vegetation, many soldiers were bitten by unknown insects and their bodies were swollen.

Some of the bumps are even wider than an adult's fist, which shows how poisonous the mosquitoes here are.

Everyone could only apply some simple herbal medicine and endure the pain and continue moving forward.

In the forty-ninth block, they encountered a stone wall maze similar to the third and fourth areas of the twenty-one areas.

The stone wall divides the entire block into dozens of compartments, which appear completely closed at first glance. Only by touching it with something can one find the melted exit.

Everyone used their weapons to quickly find a hidden entrance to pass through.

Han Ruize and Pei Nai entered first, and when Ju Liancheng followed in, they waited for a moment, but there was no other movement behind them.

"Where are the people?" Pei Nai was puzzled.

Han Ruize took out the short blade that was still in its sheath and tried to probe, but the top of it hit the hard stone wall.

It was as if the experience of passing through the wall just now was just a dream for them.

"The speed at which the stone wall entrances and exits are transferred here should be much faster than when you were in the Twenty-One Domain." Ju Liancheng said.

Pei Nai was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly used his spear to knock on every area of the wall. "They have to go around from other places. Fortunately, Hu Yanweizhao has been to the Twenty-One Regions before, so he can probably explain the situation to them."

"But at this rate of transfer, the melted stone walls are changing all the time and they will be dispersed." Han Ruize said as he looked for hidden entrances in the other three walls.

He quickly found a piece of melted stone on the opposite wall, and the three of them counted silently together.

After counting about sixty times, the entrance began to gradually close.
