Outside of Time

Chapter 12 Taboos in restricted areas

Faced with Xue Ying's provocation, Luan Ya looked at Lei Dui with more murderous intent in his eyes.

Lei Dui looked normal and spoke calmly.

"Cross."

After hearing this, Shizi picked up the bow without saying a word, drew it in an instant and shot an arrow into the sky.

The speed was so fast that it set off a sharp whistling sound, and its arrow was like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the eagle hovering in the sky.

Blood flowers bloomed in the sky, and the eagle let out a shrill scream, fell down, and landed on the ground between the two teams with a thud.

At the same time, a member of the Blood Shadow Team shook violently all over, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale for an instant.

That was his eagle. Unlike the dog Luan Ya raised, this eagle was controlled by his own spiritual energy. At this moment, the backlash made his whole person suffer heavy injuries.

The rest of the Blood Shadow Team were filled with murderous intent, but they were stopped by Captain Blood Shadow. He slowly stood up from the dog corpse, not looking at Luan Ya, but staring at Team Lei.

Team Lei also looked at him coldly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, each snorting coldly.

"Let's go." Lei Dui said calmly and walked forward, followed by Luan Ya and others, including Xu Qing.

He felt the deep hostility between the two teams, so he turned back and glanced at the people in the Blood Shadow team, and saw that they were waiting for Ma Si and Pang Shan. Unfortunately, these two would never show up.

Xu Qing remained silent, withdrew his gaze, and gradually left the camp with Lei Dui and others.

The restricted area seems to be not far from the camp, but in fact it is still quite a distance on foot.

The group of them walked for more than half an hour before they saw the dark forest in the distance.

From the outside, this forbidden jungle is boundless and spreads to an unknown extent.

It is now three o'clock in the morning, and the sunshine is strong, but the jungle in the restricted area seems to be a different world from the outside.

From a distance, you can see that there seems to be a storm gathering in the sky at the end of the jungle, with streaks of lightning visible to the naked eye dazzling in and out, giving the entire restricted area a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

Xu Qing watched all this and followed silently. No one in the Thunder team spoke on the road, but as they got closer and closer to the penalty area, Xu Qing keenly noticed everyone, and the muscles all over his body began to gradually tighten, and so did he.

Until the feeling as if he had stepped into a cold world appeared throughout Xu Qing's body, as all the warmth in his body was instantly removed, he entered the restricted area.

It seemed that all the scenes he saw in the normal world were also eliminated.

The familiar biting coldness awakened his memories of being in the ruined city, amidst the rain of blood.

So he took a deep breath, the vigilance in his heart was strong, and he instinctively grasped the iron sign tightly in his hand, just like when he was in the ruins.

The difference is that the city is in ruins, but here...

The trees are twisted like the shadows of evil spirits, the muddy ground is as rotten as the soil of the underworld, and the branches and leaves are spread like claws covering the sky.

But the people in the Thunder team are obviously familiar with this place.

They carried weapons on their backs, and the path they took was obviously a well-traveled one, and every step was filled with details. They skipped some places where everything seemed normal, and walked on even though some places seemed dangerous.

There were other areas that were bypassed for no reason. In this way, some dangers were avoided along the way.

Xu Qing followed, paying close attention and remembering everything.

But he also discovered something strange. Not all the journeys were led by the Thunder Team. Sometimes it was the Barbarian Ghosts, and sometimes it was the Luan Ya who replaced each other.

Although everyone was not moving very fast, apart from hearing the roars of some ferocious beasts in the distance, it was still relatively safe.

Even if there were some poisonous insects, they did not come close after Luan Ya lit an incense stick.

After walking for about an hour, without saying a word, they stopped beside a muddy area and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qing noticed that Luan Ya took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it in the mud. Soon a group of poisonous insects emerged from it, seemingly aggressive, but her expression remained as usual. She took out another powder and scattered it with her hand. The poisonous insects became restless and quickly dispersed. , the silt calmed down.

After doing this, everyone squatted down, skillfully scooped up the mud and smeared it all over their bodies.

"Do you remember the details on the road?" Captain Lei smeared his whole body and motioned Xu Qing to do the same.

Xu Qing nodded, without hesitation, he picked up the mud and started to apply it. At the same time, his eyes swept over Luan Ya. He felt that the other party seemed to know some poison techniques.

"Skip over the avoided areas because the leaves are severely withered but intact. This means that no evil beast has passed by and the existence is unknown."

"The area where you step directly is because there is feces of ferocious animals on the ground, and the biological instinct is to choose a safe area to excrete, so it means there is no excessive danger or cannibalism in the quagmire."

"As for the scope of the detour, it's because of the wild ghost's nose. His nose is sensitive and he can smell the smell of dangerous beasts. You will learn a lot along the way. Memorize as many as you can."

When Xu Qing heard this, he glanced at Mangui. Mangui also turned his head and grinned at Xu Qing.

"As for this mud, it is a place that our team discovered many years ago that contains night lizard skin lesions. Applying it all over the body will not only cover our aura, but also provide a certain deterrent."

"Going forward is where we are going, and heading north, there is the Poison Dragon Pond. The restricted jungle has been divided into several areas by scavengers spontaneously due to different landforms."

"Poison Dragon Pond is one of them, but we won't go there this time." Lei Dui finished speaking.

Xu Qing had finished at this moment. When he stood up, Cross walked past him. Although he questioned Xu Qing's following yesterday, he still said it with a cold face.

"Pay attention to your alienation points. The restricted area is rich in alienation. You must always pay attention. Once the alienation exceeds the standard, no one can save it."

Xu Qing nodded, already aware of this.

He could feel that the concentration of heterogeneity in this restricted area was extremely high, but it was much weaker than when the city ruins were at their peak.

It's just that he has accumulated a lot of heterogeneity in himself now, so even if he is not practicing at this moment, just breathing, the alienation points on his arms are starting to tingle faintly.

So he took out a piece of white pill and put it in his mouth. Instead of swallowing it, he held it in his mouth and let it melt slowly.

Soon, everyone had finished applying, looked at each other, and moved on.

But it was a little different from the previous journey. On the next road, their speed was slower, and everyone took out weapons in their hands.

Xu Qing swept their weapons.

The barbarian ghost is a steel shield and mace, the Lei team is a gauntlet, the cross is a long bow, and Luan Ya takes out a serrated dagger with a cold light on it.

A few days ago, Xu Qing went out to keep an eye on Pang Shan, and there were other gains as well.

Because of his keen hearing, he heard many conversations among the scavengers and learned a lot of information that he had never known before.

For example, weapons, he now knows, are divided into magic weapons, talisman treasures and heavy treasures.

Among them, the magic weapon is a legendary thing and quite rare.

It is rumored that each magic weapon has varying degrees of heterogeneous pollution, which will increase with use and is extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, it is basically a non-renewable resource. In addition, it is extremely powerful, so it is naturally extremely precious.

As a result, a special type of treasure breeder was born. They were often raised in captivity from children, and used their bodies to dilute the heterogeneity of the magic weapon.

This was also said by the Lei team at the beginning.

In addition to magic weapons, there are also talismans and heavy treasures.

Although the former talisman is also rare, compared to the magic weapon, it is still a luxury. As for the latter's heavy treasure, it is common.

They are often made of special materials and are weapons that ordinary people can use.

Xu Qing felt that his iron sign might be a valuable treasure, and the ones in the hands of the people in front of him were obviously of this type.

Time passed slowly, Xu Qing followed the Thunder team and gradually moved further and further into the restricted area.

We also encountered some minor troubles along the way, but most of them were dealt with by Barbarian Ghost alone.

Occasionally, when encountering a stronger beast, the crossbow will shoot out.

As for Luan Ya's attacks, they are mainly based on magic. She seems to be able to perform some kind of shock, making the incoming ferocious beasts freeze, which is very inflexible.

During this period, Xu Qing also took action once, grabbing a poisonous snake that was shooting from behind and crushing it directly.

After dealing with this and discovering that Xu Qing could follow him from beginning to end without making any novice mistakes, he looked at Xu Qing cross-eyed, less scrutinizing, and imparted some experience to him.

"Kid, this restricted area may seem dangerous, but for those of us who crawl around here, as long as we don't encounter three situations, it's basically safe."

"You have to keep these three situations in mind."

"The first is when strange beasts from deep inside the restricted area come to the outer area. This situation is not very common, and the range of our activities is actually just outside the restricted area."

"But once we encounter it, it is extremely dangerous, because we only know the habits and abilities of the alien beasts outside, and the restricted area is too big. There are many kinds of alien beasts inside, and their abilities are also varied. If you are not careful, you will die."

"The second one is singing." At this point, Crossface showed fear.

"There is a saying circulating in the restricted area here. It is said that singing will appear here, and only one person will hear the singing. It's just that I have never heard singing. Among us, only Lei Dui has heard singing. "

Xu Qing looked at Captain Lei.

Team Lei didn't speak, but looked up at the depths of the penalty area, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Let me tell you the third one." Luan Ya smiled and glanced at Xu Qing.

"Child, the third danger here is very common, and that is the fog."

"When the fog comes out, it's like a person becomes blind, and he will definitely get lost, and the fog usually lasts for a long time. Once you lose your way here, you can't get out in time, and you are trapped in the restricted area. As the heterogeneity corrodes, your own heterogeneity will naturally gradually increase. , and this often represents the coming of death.

"But there are two ways to resolve it, one is fire, and the other is those who are born or acquired and have strong mental power."

"The former treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although fire can disperse the fog in a small area and restore vision, the fog is strange and the fire cannot last forever. As for the latter, one and a half will often appear in the camp in decades. Most of these people are very Leave soon, there will be better development.”

"There is a fourth danger, which is encountering a malicious ambush by the enemy." The barbarian ghost who was leading the way said dullly.

Luan Ya on the side was about to speak, but at this moment, looking at the Lei team in the distance of the penalty area, his expression suddenly changed and he let out a low drink.

"Shut up!"

The next moment, the crossbow opened, a faint light appeared in Luanya's eyes, the body of the wild ghost swelled, Xu Qing's hair stood up instantly, and a strong threat suddenly came from the dark jungle far away from them.

Soon, rays of light appeared in the darkness. They were pairs of eyes, with indifference and coldness, staring at everyone.

Lots of eyes.

And as these eyes appeared, giant wolves with black scales all over their bodies and bodies as big as buffalo slowly walked out.

Looking at it, there are at least dozens of them, and even faintly in the distance, it seems that there are more, probably no less than hundreds.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by each wolf reached about the second level, causing the wild ghosts and others to change their expressions.

"Black scale wolves!"

"They usually only live at the junction between the deep part of the restricted area and the outer perimeter. If they are not in this area, how could they come here!"

The pupils of the cross shrank, and Luan Ya on the side also looked a little pale.

In fact, they knew very well that although a single black-scaled wolf was nothing, but in such a number, it would be a severe test for them.

The most important thing is that the restricted area is full of heterogeneity. Once the loss of spiritual energy in the body is too large, it can only absorb the supplement of external spiritual energy. After the battle, there will inevitably be no time to separate the aliens. In this case, the aliens in the body will accumulate extremely quickly, and the risk of alienation will increase infinitely.

Xu Qing's breathing was also slightly rapid. The pressure from the wolves was huge.

"You guys retreat first, I'll stop them."

While everyone was shocked, Captain Lei spoke in a deep voice and walked out slowly.

A wave of psychic energy that was at least twice as powerful as the cross, erupted from the Thunder Team as they moved forward.

The wolves also stopped and stared at Team Lei.
