The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2045 Confrontation

Dark as night, quiet as silence.

The pale fog came from all directions, making the trees appear black. At first glance, it seemed as if the world was left with only black and white.

The left and right sides were covered with dead branches and leaves, which were covered with thick mud and stagnant water. Waves of sour and smelly smells came out from the gaps between the branches and leaves, filling the sky and the earth, lingering around the three people, making people frown.

Yumimura Ryo pinched his nose and followed closely, but his eyes glanced around with a little uneasiness. It was really too dark, just like before a storm. There was a thick fog in the forest, and it was extremely quiet. Apart from their footsteps, no other sound could be heard, which made people feel uneasy.

"This place is so dark."

Asuka Xin, who was walking at the back, kept looking around all the time, but after walking for such a long time, there was no light at all. It was completely dark along the way, and there was white fog, which greatly obstructed his vision and he could not see far away at all.

If the surrounding trees had not retreated as they advanced, leaving only fog and swamp, people would have had the illusion that they were standing still.

But compared to the fog rising from the forest, what is more disturbing is the disappearance of the light.

When flying in the sky, it was bright and beautiful with blue sky and white clouds, but now it is so eerie and scary with thick fog. If it is accompanied by some BGM, it is definitely going to be a monster that is about to appear.

Walking in such an environment, not to mention Yumimura Yoshi, even Asuka Shin felt creepy.

But what I can't understand even more is why there is such a big difference in brightness within just a hundred meters.

It's bright up there, and dark down there, it's like two completely different worlds.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Asuka Shin simply stretched his neck and shouted: "Captain, how far is it?"

"I do not know!"

Chiba Makoto, who was walking in the front, was also observing his surroundings. The dark trees, the gloomy white fog, and the road that continued to extend under his feet were like sharp swords, splitting the seemingly endless swamp into two sides.

As they walked, Chiba Makoto was counting silently. They were moving very fast, about a hundred meters per minute. After seven or eight minutes, they had walked nearly a thousand meters.

However, there was no significant change in the surroundings. It was still a swamp and a forest. The most bizarre thing was the thick fog. Even if light was applied to the eyes to briefly achieve the effect of the Eye of Ultra, it was still impossible to see through the thick fog.

This alone is enough to prove that this is definitely not an ordinary place.

However, Chiba Makoto has not found where the abnormality is. It is like smelling a bad odor and knowing that something is broken, but he still needs to find out what is broken so that he can trace the source and figure out what caused the rot.

We walked and looked, took samples and observed along the way. If you didn't know, you would think we were conducting a scientific investigation.

But such calm did not last forever, because the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and visibility became lower and lower. It was just dusk at the beginning, but as they walked, it gradually turned into the darkness before the storm, and now it was no different from night. They could not see people just a few steps away, so the three of them took out tactical flashlights and turned on the built-in lights on their helmets.

Wherever the beams of light shone, everything was white. The fog had shrunk from dozens of meters to a few meters, so it could be said to be very close.

"Captain, something's not right."

Asuka Shin's hand had already stretched out, and he subconsciously reached for the Brest pistol, but after hesitating, he moved to the side and touched the transformation device placed on his lower back. But after a pause, he still did not take it. Instead, he pulled out the Brest pistol and held it in his hand, ready for any unexpected event.

Not only him, Yumimura Ryo also held the Brest pistol in his hand, looking at the approaching fog vigilantly, swallowing nervously. The fog was surging and rolling like a raging flood, giving people the feeling that something would rush out of it at any time.

"The fog is getting thicker." Chiba Makoto frowned, stood in front of the two people, then reached to his waist with his right hand, pulled out a green wind element card from the Ultra Dimension Card Box hanging on his belt, and slid it through the card slot in the center of the Dimension Fighting Device.

"Wind element, activate!"

  call!

A strong hurricane blew out from the self-luminous Ultra Dimension Card, and in the blink of an eye, a tornado was formed. It whistled forward, rolling up a large amount of thick fog. It rotated with the hurricane and cut a passage in the thick fog.

"go!"

Two elemental cards were activated in succession, and the energy of the cards was consumed in seconds. Chiba Makoto did not dare to stop for long. He immediately took Asuka Shin and Yumimura Ryo and rushed forward with the tornado.

The fog will not become thicker for no reason. There must be a reason. Either it is approaching a key location or it has reached the edge.

Whatever the case, it means the emergence of clues, which is much better than continuing to grope in this fog.

As expected, this time I didn't run very far before changes occurred on both sides. The dead branches and leaves on the ground began to become thinner and less, and the exposed ground was no longer mud and stagnant water, but soil and gravel. From time to time, I could see large and small stones lying on the ground in a mess.

Even the fog began to thin.

It was obvious that we were about to leave the range of the thick fog.

This made Fei Niao Xin and the others very excited. Staying in the dark and thick fog and smelling the damp and rotten odor was really too depressing. They really didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"what is this?"

Feiniao Xin saw a lot of gray-white vines on the ground, growing wildly like ivy. Many of them climbed on the rocks, using their pale roots growing along the main stems to dig deep into the soil and rocks, firmly fixing themselves. Even a tornado passing by could not shake these vines.

Such vines and rhizomes grew all over the ground, crisscrossing each other to form a huge web that spread on the ground and covered a large area. It was so dense that it was almost a grassland. The dense trees that we saw on the road when we came here also disappeared from the ground suddenly, just like the vines suddenly appeared on the ground.

If you look to both sides, you can see that there is a very clear dividing line between the vines and the forest. There are dense vines in front and tall trees behind.

"That's strange enough."

Yumimura Ryoya noticed the strangeness of the vines under his feet. They looked like they were one by one, but if you traced their origins and looked closely, you would find that they grew together, which meant that this large piece of vines was probably a single individual. "These things look familiar." Qianye Cheng put away two element cards that had consumed most of their energy, stopped running, squatted down, and carefully observed these vines that were as thick as forearms. They looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

After a little thought, a monster came to mind: Godis!

In the exploded planet Mikalit and the superimposed Earth world, all the Godis encountered would penetrate into the core of the planet and then use vine-like tentacles to grow all over the planet, thereby sucking the energy of the planet with maximum efficiency until a planet is drained dry, and then fly to the next planet with life, continuing to repeat its journey of destruction.

The tentacles of Godis encountered both times were vine-like, very similar to the vines in front of us.

Is there a Godis on this planet?

Chiba Makoto was frowning as he was thinking and reminiscing, but Asuka Shin had made a new discovery. Next to a stone not far away, he saw several vines entwined together, forming an umbrella shape that was larger on top and smaller on the bottom. The liquid secreted wrapped the vines up like amber.

This was a strange thing that Asuka Nobuyuki had never seen or heard of before. He immediately went over curiously, wanting to take a closer look at what it was and why it looked so strange.

But just as Fei Niao Xin was about to get closer, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Don't touch it, stay away from it."

The sudden sound startled Asuka Shin. He immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a man running towards him breathlessly in the mist. Asuka Shin looked carefully and shouted, "Senior Shinjo!"

The visitor was none other than Xincheng, the captain of the Lomus III who had been missing for quite some time.

However, the new city that appeared in front of Asuka Shin looked a little embarrassed.

Not only was his face dirty, but his beard was also as thick as the weeds. His clothes were tattered and had many scratches on them. If they were on Earth, they would probably be beggar's clothes.

Xincheng looked at Fei Niaoxin carefully from head to toe, and when he was sure that he hadn't touched this strange combination of vines, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No, it's good that he didn't touch it."

"Uh, Shinjo-senpai, do you know what this is?"

Before Xincheng could answer, Qianye Cheng walked over and said, "Xincheng, are you okay?"

Seeing Qianye Cheng, Xincheng's slightly vicissitudes face suddenly showed a smile, and said: "Qianye, you are here, it's great."

"What happened? How did Romus III get here?" Chiba Makoto immediately asked the question that concerned him the most, which was how did Romus III get from the orbit of Pluto to this strange planet.

"It's a long story, we'll talk about it on the way. Let's leave here first." Xincheng said, urging everyone to leave quickly.

"Is there a problem here?"

Asuka Shin's question made Yumimura Ryo want to roll his eyes at him. Isn't this obvious? Why bother asking?

"go!"

Chiba Makoto followed Shinjo to the front right, and Shinjo was also telling them about their experiences.

  After completing the exploration mission of Pluto, Romus III set out for Eris according to the planned schedule. However, before reaching the destination, the probe of Romus III discovered the planet. After obtaining the approval of the headquarters, Romus III turned to the new planet and then...

Qianye Cheng raised his hand to interrupt Xincheng's words, stared into Xincheng's eyes, and said: "Wait a minute, Xincheng, you said that the headquarters agrees that you come here?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xincheng looked at Chiba Makoto with some confusion, not understanding what was wrong with this.

"But the report we received said that Romus III had lost contact a long time ago," Yumimura Ryo clearly remembered that the mission information stated 'Romus III lost contact in the orbit of Pluto, and communications have not been restored to date', but Senior Shinjo said that Romus III had contacted the headquarters after leaving the orbit of Pluto.

  this.

Which one is true?

Who is lying?

Xin Cheng also got a glimpse of something from their words and expressions. His expression became serious. He nodded seriously and said, "We did contact the headquarters. There is a video recording of the communication on the spacecraft."

"."

Asuka Shin and Yumimura Yoshi looked at each other. Asuka Shin was puzzled by what the two said and said, "But the cosmic network had problems at that time. How did you communicate with the headquarters without any obstacles?"

Not to mention here, even in the orbit of Pluto, if relying on electromagnetic waves, the communication delay is as long as several hours. The reason why Romus III lost contact for several hours before reporting was because there was a problem with the cosmic network and it was impossible to communicate in real time. It could only communicate through traditional electromagnetic waves. As a result, even this could not achieve a communication connection, which made the Space Development Agency realize that there was a problem, and then they reported it to the headquarters.

"It seems there is something fishy going on here." Chiba Makoto said thoughtfully, and then continued to listen to Xincheng's story.

When they first arrived on this planet and saw the blue sky, white clouds, green trees and flowing water, they were shocked. They could not have imagined that in this cold and dark world, there was a vibrant planet.

Although I was shocked, I was also really excited.

Because this is a great discovery, which subverts human's understanding of the universe. The historical achievement is comparable to the discovery of the New World during the Age of Exploration. It is very likely to be recorded in history.

So the Lomus III began to prepare to go down for investigation, but when it was landing, a malfunction suddenly occurred, causing the Lomus III to fall from the air.

"You guys fell down too?" The latest thing that Yumimura Ryo thought of was the Victory Condor he was flying. It also suddenly malfunctioned without any warning, and crashed without giving him any reaction time, adding 1 to Yumimura Ryo's crash record.

Before, Yoshimura thought it was an accident or a malfunction, but after hearing what Shinjo said, it seemed that this was not an accident or coincidence, but a deliberate human error.

"Afterwards we checked the spacecraft and found that the engine received an emergency stop command, which caused the spacecraft to lose power. But everyone was together at the time and no one had the opportunity to do so. What's the point of doing so?" Xincheng's face was full of confusion. He still doesn't know and has not found out who issued this command that could very well have caused the destruction of the ship and the death of people.

  Now, hearing that the Victory Condor had encountered the same situation, Xincheng had a guess in his mind, that it was not the people on the ship who did it, but

Someone else!

It may not even be a human.
