Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 279 Extra The Giant in the Mist
All the soldiers were excited, and shouts and cheers echoed in the nest.

Huyan Weizhao looked at all this and said speechlessly from a distance: "Is this kind of guidance okay?"

"That's right, everyone is a genius." Pei Nai commented appreciatively.

She turned around and continued to split the rocks to seal the cave.

The soldiers were responsible for dealing with the intruding reptiles. This time, with the help of Gongyang Zisheng, the remaining caves were blocked one by one.

By the time it was over, Pei Nai's arms were numb.

She put the Zhubei gun back into her back and saw that many of the ruins of the cave were shaking and dust was constantly rising.

Everyone understood that the reptilian teeth inside were continuously hitting the pile of rocks.

Not knowing how long the collapsed rubble could last, Pei Nai immediately led everyone away.

After passing through the winding passage, they arrived at the 27th nest. Gu Jinheng sent two Pei family army soldiers to wait for everyone at the exit they chose.

After walking two more nests forward, they finally met up with the team in front.

Gu Jinheng first checked Pei Nai's arm, frowned slightly and rubbed it for her, then explained the situation: "All the passages in this area lead to the lower level."

Pei Nai walked along the way and knew that the passage was all downhill, which also meant that they were getting farther and farther away from the top.

Gu Jinheng continued, "There are two passages here. I have just explored each of them. One passage leads to a nest with many snake-like creatures, and the other leads to a huge space."

Their conversation was not deliberately avoided from the crowd, and everyone around could hear it.

"How big is it?" Pei Nai asked him.

"I can't find the end." Gu Jinheng replied.

This sentence made many people gasp, which meant that the nest was close to or even larger than the entrance nest, and its scope was as wide as a city.

Pei Nai asked again, "Do you sense any danger within your reach?"

Gu Jinheng did not comment.

He said in a deep voice: "There are some creatures, and their movements are very strange. My intuition tells me that they are not aggressive."

"Why do you say that?" Han Ruize didn't retort him. He just felt that there must be other reasons for Gu Jinheng's analysis.

"Because to them, we are as insignificant as ants and are not worth caring about."

Everyone was shocked.

What kind of huge creature is this to make Gu Jinheng describe it like this?

Gongyang Zisheng looked at the road they had come from and suggested, "Do you want to take a risk? Or should we go back to the last nest and find a way out?"

Pei Nai shook his head. "The Reptiles are behind us. We are not sure if they have caught up with us. Besides, other paths may not be safe after we go back. Since Gu Jinheng chose this nest, it means that other nests along the way are more or less dangerous."

Pei Nai and Gu Jinheng looked at each other.

Gu Jinheng nodded, confirming her guess.

"Then let's go. The unknown can help us better understand the secrets of the meteorite, and it may also be our way to survive." Pei Nai made a decision.

The allies always supported her ideas, the soldiers were all obedient, and the Lei family didn't dare to say much at this moment. They still hoped that Pei Nai could lead them to survive.

The entire team had no other objections.

We walked for a long time through the passage that continued to go downhill.

It took so long that I almost doubted whether they had reached the bottom of the meteorite?

At the end of the passage, the ground was finally flat.

This place was completely different from the previous nest. There was a dark and gloomy fog in front of them, and they could not even see the top of their heads. They seemed to be in a wasteland filled with thick fog.

Apart from the mountain wall behind, there was no obstruction in front or on the sides.

In addition, Gu Jinheng once said that there were other huge creatures here. This terrifying and gloomy atmosphere would deter all normal people. No one dared to speak, for fear of attracting the attention of other species in the fog.

Everyone slowed down and walked on the flat stone ground.

Gu Jinheng held Pei Nai's hand.

Pei Nai turned to look at him, silently asking for the latest developments with his eyes.

Gu Jinheng looked down at her and responded to her with his eyes: It's safe for now.

He continued to explore the way with his divine energy.

Probably because he was afraid of causing panic among everyone, he did not say it clearly even if there were other creatures, and just led the team to zigzag through the fog.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Everyone also stopped and looked blankly at the head of the team, and then everyone saw the shocking and unforgettable scene.

High in the sky, through the thick miasma, a huge shadow fell.

The giant was very far away from them, but everyone still saw part of its body.

The black indigo skin has rugged and dark lines on it, and the fin-like appendages slowly stretch and swing, propelling it to cruise freely in the air.

It was a giant fish-like creature floating and swimming in the air.

At this moment, they only caught a glimpse of a corner of its body, which was enough to make them feel its hugeness and the insignificance of human beings. They were once again shocked by the incomprehensible scene.

If the legendary Kunpeng really existed in the world, it might be like this.

When the giant swung its body and turned freely, everyone realized that it really had not noticed them, or perhaps it knew of their existence but did not care.

After ensuring it was safe, Gu Jinheng led everyone on their journey.

Occasionally, some plants appear on the ground, some of which even glow, and occasionally towering trees appear.

As they walked, they came to a swamp.

The rocky ground was not completely broken, but it was also not continuous, so there were many stones still protruding out of the water, providing a path for moving forward.

Some short plants that look like shrubs grow everywhere in the swamp, with a bottomless puddle in the middle. There are gaps under the stones that are connected to each other, and one can imagine the complexity of the environment below.

The team crossed the swamp by walking on rocks that protruded from the water.

As warriors, everyone had a clear sense that there were other living creatures under the water, but Gu Jinheng did not stop or remind everyone to be careful, so everyone just kept going.

Fortunately, his intuition was correct and the underwater creatures did not attack them.

When they reached the middle of the swamp, Gu Jinheng raised his hand and stopped again.

His eyes were still on the front, but his hand patted the spear on Pei Nai's back, which was to prepare Pei Nai for battle.

Pei Nai already had a bad feeling.

Many people's hands also moved to their weapons, ready to respond to the enemy at the first moment.

Following the direction Gu Jinheng was looking, everyone looked towards the sky in front of them on the right.

A monster with a fish head and a snake tail, covered with black scales, swooped down from the sky, and its destination was the pool next to them.

The monster with a fish head and a snake tail was about the size of a human. It dived into the water, causing waves to flow outwards, and a lot of water splashed on everyone.

It turned at the bottom of the water and jumped out of the water again, with the fins on both sides of its body flapping continuously, allowing it to hover in the air.

The monster held a shelled creature in its mouth, chewing it quickly and swallowing it.

It finished hunting, and after eating, its eyes turned and noticed Pei Nai and his group.
