Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

During the break, Huo Xiuxiu took out the two bells again and shook them gently. The bells made a clear and distant sound, as if they were conducting some mysterious communication with the surrounding fog. Zhang Shi noticed that as the bell rang, the surrounding fog seemed to change slightly and became thinner.

"This bell...can it really dispel the fog?" Ge Dalong asked curiously, with surprise in his eyes.

Huo Xiuxiu nodded slightly and explained: "These two bells can make people clear their minds. They can temporarily weaken the power of the fog and gain us some freedom of sight and movement. However, the effect is limited. We must find a way out of here as soon as possible. The real method.”

Zhang Shi was secretly glad that he had not lost the bell, otherwise they might be in even greater difficulty now. He turned to ask: "Miss Huo, how much do you know about the curse in this fog? Is it possible to find a way to lift the curse?"

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, with a trace of helplessness on her face: "The root of the curse is hidden deep under this land and is closely connected with the history of Huojia Village. If you want to lift the curse, you must find the source of the curse, but that is almost impossible." An impossible mission. Our goal now is to find a safe way out.”

During the conversation, the fog seemed to dissipate briefly, and they were able to glimpse the vague outline in the distance. Zhang Shi keenly captured this point and suggested: "While the fog is weakening, shouldn't we take the opportunity to walk a little longer?"

Huo Xiuxiu thought for a moment and finally agreed to the proposal. They set out on their journey again, taking advantage of the brief dissipation of the fog to speed up their progress.

However, the good times did not last long. As they went deeper into the fog, the surrounding scenery began to become strange. The trees twisted and deformed, as if twisted by invisible forces; the vines on the ground squirmed like living creatures, trying to wrap around their feet. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong had to move forward more carefully, for fear of falling into danger accidentally.

"Be careful!" Huo Xiuxiu suddenly warned in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in her voice, "I feel something approaching nearby."

Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong immediately became alert. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and scanned the surroundings with vigilance. At this moment, a huge, haggard beast suddenly jumped out of the mist and came straight towards them.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhang Shi swung out his sword and missed the giant beast. But it did not back down and launched another attack. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong joined forces to fight, but the speed and power of the giant beast were beyond imagination, making it difficult for them to resist for a while.

At the critical moment, the bell in Huo Xiuxiu's hand rang again. The clear ringing seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing the giant beast's movements to slow down instantly. Zhang Shi, Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong joined forces to fight back, injuring the beast and driving it back.

"What is this?" Ge Dalong asked breathlessly, his face was full of doubts. This creature was somewhat different from the black shadows seen outside the village.

"Cursed creatures, they were driven by the evil power in the fog and became the guardians of this land." Huo Xiuxiu explained, "We must be more careful, there may be many such creatures."

Zhang Shi's heart sank. If the monsters in the fog were as strong as the giant beast just now, he knew that the next road would be even more difficult. But he also understood that they had no way out and could only walk until they found the hope of leaving here.

After exploring like this for a long time, everyone encountered several creatures in the fog. With Huo Xiuxiu's help, no accidents happened. They worked together to repel all the monsters.

Huo Xiuxiu looked up at the gray sky shrouded in mist and said to several people.

"It's getting late. The night here is very dangerous. Let's stop here today. Let's go back to the cabin."

Zhang Shi and the others nodded, feeling that Huo Xiuxiu's words made sense, so they followed the marks and returned all the way. Not far after walking out, the fog in front suddenly became thicker, and from time to time there were roars and fighting sounds.

Zhang Shi looked at Huo Xiuxiu and asked.

"What do you mean, do you want to take a detour?"

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, her eyes full of confidence.

"Changing direction in this fog is asking for death. Even if there are some incredible monsters ahead, we have to find a way to force our way through."

After Zhang Shi and others heard this, they each drew their weapons and prepared for battle. In this foggy area, Huo Xiuxiu was their biggest support. If they acted according to her ideas, they would be safer than running around with their heads covered. many.

The group of people carefully followed the marks and groped forward. The sounds in the mist became clearer and clearer, and Zhang Shi could vaguely distinguish two creatures fighting in front of them. Huo Xiuxiu gently rang the bell, and the fog in front was temporarily dispersed. Everyone's field of vision suddenly became much wider, and they could clearly see the scene ahead.

In the open space, a humanoid creature with wings and a body covered with corruption stood in front. It looked like a winged human being. He also held a rusty spear in his hand, which showed that the creature must have some wisdom.

The other party turned out to be the three-headed monster that was devoured by the earth beast along with them. At this time, the three-headed monster was smaller than before. It seemed that it had paid a price to escape from the underground.

Zhang Shi looked at its three heads, all of which were intact. It seemed that Chen Beipan and the old woman could still be rescued, but now even though they were close at hand, the sense of the contract between him and Chen Beipan was very vague, as if they had been manipulated by some means. blocked.

The winged man and the three-headed monster noticed the sudden appearance of Zhang Shi and his group. The winged man ignored Zhang Shi and his group and rushed towards the three-headed monster in front of him with a spear. It seemed that he was determined to fight to the death with the other party.

The three-headed monster was retreating in his heart. He had an old grudge with Zhang Shi and his group, and now he had a new grudge with the winged man. He was worried about being besieged by both sides, so he only defended and did not attack, and retreated step by step into the fog behind.

"Don't let him run away, catch him alive."

Zhang Shi whispered to his companions, and then he took Lao Duan and joined the battle.

The three-headed monster knew how powerful Zhang Shi was. The three heads roared synchronously towards the sky, and the body condensed into a human form again, and Lao Duan was copied in his hand.

Zhang Shi had Huo Xiuxiu behind him, so he had no worries. He flashed behind the three-headed monster and used a lot of moves, leaving a series of knife marks on the three-headed monster's body. What Zhang Shi didn't expect was that the winged monster seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Shi's sudden appearance, and roared and turned its spearhead towards Zhang Shi. Fortunately, Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong behind him took action and stopped the winged monster, preventing it from joining the battle again.

During the battle, Zhang Shi noticed that the self-healing ability of the three-headed monster was obviously much slower. It seemed that something had happened to it, and the situation was not good.

"Just when you are sick, I will kill you!"

Zhang Shi's moves became more and more fierce, and the three-headed monster was quickly defeated, and could only rely on its self-healing ability to keep fleeing in the fog.

Zhang Shi didn't dare to stay too far away from his companions, so he slowed down his offensive, but he also entangled the three-headed monster, making it impossible for him to escape.
