Above the gray fog

Lin Shan led the team to the border of the tribe and stopped. Going forward would be gray fog. There was no direction in the gray fog, and it was impossible to keep a straight line.

Moreover, even if the direction could be identified in the gray fog, he could not guarantee that he was walking in a straight line.

Therefore, it was necessary to use a spiritual mark to establish a coordinate axis and fix the direction, just like Huang Liu did.

The principle was very simple. Two spiritual marks connected together would form a line. The simplest two lines would be alternating. Although it was not as advanced as the spiritual mark like the Go board established by Huang Liu, it was barely enough, at least the direction would not be wrong.

Huang Liu's spiritual mark should involve more advanced applications. Even if he could build it now, it would only be in form. Lin Shan guessed that it might be related to specific positioning.

However, for him now, having a specific direction was enough.

After thinking for a while, he said to the team members next to him, "Wait for me for a while."

After that, he went into the dark space and disappeared again. When he reappeared, he had returned to the place where the sequence stele was placed before.

Lin Shan left the spiritual mark here again, so that the direction would not be wrong. He was afraid that the distance from the clan hall to the clan border would be offset. Even if it was just a small offset, after traveling thousands of miles, the exact direction would be far away.

When he returned to the clan border again, he found that the position he was just in was a little offset. He waved his hand to cancel the spiritual mark he left before. Although the consumption of spiritual marks was very small, the large number would also increase the spiritual burden.

"Do you know how to determine the direction in the gray fog?"

Lin Shan looked at the team standing stupidly beside him and asked.

"We said in training that to determine the direction in the gray fog, you need to use four spiritual marks to connect two vertical lines. The direction can be fixed according to the induction of the spiritual marks."

The one who spoke was a girl who looked less than 20 years old, Sequence 9, second stage.

Lin Shan glanced at her. This was the girl named Li Yueyue, one of the few geniuses of the human race, who was promoted to a stage every five years. On the other side, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties was also in the second stage of sequence 9. He was Wang Cheng, who also broke through the second stage in five years. Among the hundreds of extraordinary people in the human race, only four could reach this speed, including Chen Liyun.

The others were all still in the first stage.

Perhaps because they were both geniuses, the two of them did not get along well and were famous rivals in the army. However, because of the sequence, Wang Cheng could not beat Li Yueyue alone.

Sequence strength was also one of the topics that Lin Shan was going to study next. Although all sequences were equal, at this stage, sequences that were purely combat-oriented were still more popular.

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded. It seemed that the methods were the same, which was right. After all, this was the simplest and most practical method. When needed, someone would always come up with it. Then he said, "Next, if you encounter danger on the road, you will take action to solve it. Try to use the method of spiritual fusion."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

"Don't be so nervous. You can treat me as... a friend. Yes, a friend. We are just friends who come out to find potion materials together. You don't need to treat me as a leader or anything. I don't have a position in the tribe." Lin Shan showed what he thought was the friendliest smile.

But his eyes, which were always without any emotion, still made everyone in the team extremely awed.

Can it be more fake... Everyone complained in their hearts, but since Lin Shan said so, others just thought he was nice. The big guys are all elegant and easy-going. They understand this.

"Okay, okay Lin... Senior." A smart person called him like this.

"Senior... barely feasible." Lin Shan affirmed this title. Pioneers will have a sense of distance, and senior sounds more intimate.

"Next, I will take you to hurry up. Look more below, especially the terrain with valleys or many green plants. These places are most likely to grow spiritual plants."

"Senior Lin, we are looking for mushrooms. Will they be in the forest..." A fat young man standing behind Wang Cheng suddenly reminded him.

Lin Shan glanced at him, and he was frightened.

Oh, the little fat man is finished. Did he naively think that Lin Xianfeng didn't know that mushrooms mostly grow in the forest? The others silently mourned for the fat man.

"That makes sense. What's your name?" Lin Shan looked at the fat boy and asked with a smile.

"My name is Nangong Ming." The fat man shook his head and answered.

"This is my sister, Nangong Xiaoyu." The fat man suddenly pulled out a slender and beautiful girl next to him and introduced her.

The fat man's inexplicable operation made Lin Shan a little confused. Did I ask your sister, or are you showing off your sister to me... By the way, this doesn't look like a family.

"It's good." Lin Shan continued to smile and responded, "Then let's go."

At a low altitude of about 100 meters, Lin Shan slowed down so that everyone could search for the target below.

Lin Shan was also staring at the ground below until he found a slightly flat depression.

The front of the land was sunken, and the fracture was smooth. There were sparse trees growing on the sunken ground, not very tall, and many of them were new seedlings.

"Isn't this... that footprint?"

Lin Shan looked a little strange. He didn't expect it to be this route. Going forward should be the Evil Forest that spans thousands of kilometers. In front of the forest is a sea of ​​blood. On the right side of the forest is a mountain range full of peaks. He has always remembered the stone pillar called "Nine Thousand Miles".

"It seems that there is a Sequence 8 willow tree in that mountain range." He remembered that when he was looking for mercury grass, there was a Sequence 8 willow tree growing in the center of the valley, and it was judged by the parchment to be a panacea... so big One pill should be enough for him to advance.

He was too weak at the time, and it took him several hours to cut down a willow branch. Now... he is finally happy. The most important thing is that the willow tree is not far from the clan. In the dark space, he can't even run back and forth in two hours. question.

If he remembered correctly, there was a strange sea of ​​bones nearby, and his first mount, the black horse, was broken there.

However, the possibility of encountering it is extremely low. The plain area in this area is vast, and it is impossible to encounter it if you go in the wrong direction.

Looking at the ground below, Lin Shan felt a little emotional. He was so weak back then, and could only hide when encountering evil or strange things.

It's not like flying sideways in the gray fog now, and those who dare to cause trouble will be dealt with by the team.

Of course, it is not completely safe. Although the weirdness or evil depravity of Sequence 8 is rare, you can still encounter it if you are lucky.

As for Sequence 7, Lin Shan has never encountered it so far. Maybe the sea of ​​blood and the glowing bird in the Evil Forest are the bosses of Sequence 7. Creatures of this sequence no longer seem to actively attack people. , being attacked can only mean you are unlucky. It may be unhappy that day, or it may be unhappy with you.
