Above the gray fog

Lin Shan dragged his broken body back to the camp, and did not disturb the people who were still resting.

He found a tree not far from the camp to lean against, closed his eyes and rested.

He couldn't sleep. His internal organs kept feeling a sharp pain as if they were burned by fire. He didn't know how he managed to hold on, maybe he was numb from the pain.

Not only that, his whole body exuded a foul smell from the inside out, and he felt sick when he smelled it, and had the urge to vomit.

Except for his appearance, he didn't look like a living person at all.

In this way, in the torment of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, the sky gradually brightened, and he was ready to tell others and go to find Asha's horn.

As soon as he approached the camp, he saw the green cat woman carrying the black tiger out. The other party obviously saw him, she sniffed her nose and frowned at Lin Shan.

She could feel that the human opposite was about to die. She didn't need to guess that this kind of injury was caused by something strange. She sighed. She had no way to deal with the injury caused by that thing, unless she used the sequence potion of the tribe, but there were not enough of that kind of thing in the tribe, let alone outsiders.

Shaking his head, he disappeared in a few jumps with the black tiger on his back.

Everyone was in the camp.

"Lin Shan, you're back!" Zhao Xiaoan's surprised voice came.

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded and asked, "Why did the cat woman leave?"

"I heard from Sister Yan that she was going back to her tribe and would come again after a while. It seems that she wants to form an alliance with us." Zhao Xiaoan replied.

Then she frowned and asked:

"Do you smell a bad smell? It's like the smell of a rotting corpse."

Lin Shan replied: "I've been smelling it all night. It's the smell on my body. I came to say goodbye to you."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Xiaoan was startled and asked hurriedly.

Lin Shan said calmly: "I have been cursed by a strange thing. I don't have many days left to live. I will find a way to remove the curse and leave soon."

"What happened last night?"

At this time, Wu Wang interrupted and asked.

"Yes."

For a moment, everyone fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, the relationship is not that deep. We have only known each other for two days, but a living person is going to die again, which makes people feel indescribably uncomfortable.

"There is still hope, and you may not die," Lin Shan explained, and then said seriously: "Don't go to the lower reaches of the river at night, which is the place where we fainted that day."

"Strange?"

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded and joked: "The facts prove that even with a torch, it cannot guarantee safety."

Zhang Zhonghua looked at Lin Shan: "I hope you can survive. Maybe you will be extraordinary by then. According to the cat woman, people on Earth will start to travel to this world in large numbers soon. We are all pioneers. I hope you can help when the time comes."

They can all feel that something is wrong with Lin Shan. He may have some opportunity to come into contact with extraordinary power.

"Don't worry, I am still a human, provided I can survive." Lin Shan responded.

"I'm leaving." Lin Shan waved his hand and walked in the direction marked on the map.

When Lin Shan's back slowly disappeared from sight, Zhang Zhonghua called out: "Get to work, we must build the wooden house today."

"Okay!"

...

After walking for two hours, Lin Shan was already exhausted and pale.

He stopped to rest in a shady place, took out the wild fruits picked up by the roadside, and ate them slowly.

The weather in the other world now is a bit like the transition period from spring to summer on Earth, a little hot.

Fortunately, it is a hot day. If it was winter, everyone would have frozen to death or starved to death. Not to mention the problem of keeping warm, there would definitely be no wild fruits everywhere on the trees.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Lin Shan's face gradually returned to ruddy, and he stood up and prepared to continue on his way.

If the previous physique was several times that of a normal adult, then the current physique is probably about the same as that of a child.

He had to rest for more than ten minutes every hour.

He looked at the cloth tied around his waist. It was the ashes of the strange fish. The clothes had no pockets, so he could only tie the mouth with a straw rope and tie it around his waist. This thing was now related to his life and property. Lin Shan kept an eye on it to prevent it from falling off suddenly.

He continued to walk for three hours and rested three times in the middle.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in his sight. The space seemed to be divided into two pieces. The circle was where Lin Shan was now, and the circle was covered by gray fog, just like the gray fog that everyone encountered when they first entered this land. The visible distance in the gray fog was no more than ten meters.

He couldn't help but think of the jade book. The jade book emitted a golden light that dispersed the gray fog. Unexpectedly, it dispersed directly ten kilometers away! Was it related to the dispersal of the gray fog that he didn't encounter any danger along the way?

There were still ten kilometers away from the place marked on the map. The rest of the journey had to be walked in the gray fog. Lin Shan had an ominous premonition.

He gritted his teeth and stepped into the gray fog. When he looked back, his eyes shrank. The way back was gone!

The gray fog also covered his back. He tried to take a few steps back. The surrounding environment did not change at all. He was still in the gray fog.

He took only one step in the gray fog. Normally, he would return to the circle if he took one step back. Now this situation was a bit like the ghost wall in folk horror stories...

"Ghost wall?" Thinking of this, Lin Shan reacted. It was indeed similar to a ghost wall. This gray fog could replace his sense of direction. His position could not change, but his direction of movement would change!

He consciously observed the parchment in his mind. Sure enough, the direction of his movement deviated. He walked a few steps to the right, and the gray fog around him disappeared. He returned to the place where the gray fog was dispelled.

It was really terrifying. If he didn't have parchment, even if he knew that his sense of direction was wrong, it would be useless. He could only get lost in the gray fog.

Lin Shan was secretly shocked. He had just entered the gray fog and encountered such a weird thing. It was absolutely impossible for a normal person to survive in this gray fog.

The jade book could dispel the gray fog here. It seemed not simple, and it was not even worse than parchment. I just didn't know if it had other functions.

He continued to walk to the left with difficulty. If he looked at the punctuation on the parchment, he would find that he was actually walking forward. This was a very strange feeling. Everything in the gray fog was chaotic.

Moreover, he would change direction every time he walked for a while and continue to move forward. In his perception, there was no change, but the direction would deviate as he walked.

Half an hour later.

Lin Shan rested by a tree. If there was no gray fog, the environment outside the circle would be no different from the inside of the circle, with sparse fruit trees and hills everywhere.

"Roar!"

Of course, there were also occasional roars of beasts, which were not heard in the circle. Every time he encountered the roar of a beast, he would take a detour in advance.

With his current physique, he couldn't even beat ordinary beasts. Whether there were ordinary beasts in this world was another matter. The only beast he had seen so far was the black tiger. It was possible that all beasts in this world were extraordinary.

At this moment, the thing that Lin Shan was most worried about happened.

A huge sound of "boom boom boom!" came from a distance.

The distance was getting closer and closer!
