I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 228 Exploring the Central Area

"Brother Zhong, Sister Fran, are you still here?" Wan Jin said timidly from the back, holding on to the safety rope.

"..."

"..."

"You guys, don't say anything!" Wan Jin's voice was a little panicked.

"You two are too bad, just make a sound while you're still alive! Don't scare the children!!" Axia, who was holding the rope in the middle, cursed towards the front.

"Yes, yes." Lin Zhi laughed softly.

"Yes." Fran replied.

"It's damn noon and it's still sunny, so I can't even see." Axia complained loudly.

"It doesn't matter whether it's morning or night, sunny or not. Light won't help, and searchlights won't help either," Lin finally replied.

There were still four days until the red moon appeared. Lin Zhong and others decided to try to explore the central area according to the original plan.

Before this, the deepest Asia walked was only to the point of the Blood Lake.

After entering the central area, the difficulty of exploration almost doubled.

Around them, the thick fog rolled quite fiercely, and the visibility was less than three meters. The key was that no lighting would help.The light passed straight through the gray fog, but the illuminated area in the light column was not clear at all.

The obscuring effect of gray fog seems to only target the human eye, or in other words, human consciousness.

Or perhaps, this is some kind of seal engraved in the soul, designed only to target the weaknesses of human beings - Lin Zhong suddenly had such an idea.

Humans cannot see through the gray fog, but the gray fog has no obvious hindrance to other creatures. Abyss creatures not only have no inconvenience in the gray fog, but also have bonuses.

The superiors that humans have become are between humans and abyssal creatures. On the one hand, they will not be eroded by the gray fog and can draw energy through the gray fog, but on the other hand, their eyes will also be affected by the gray fog. , but can see a little more clearly than ordinary people.

It would naturally be a serious disadvantage for them to encounter abyss creatures and start a war in such a place.Even A-Xia, who possesses apostle-level firepower, may be killed by an unexpected sneak attack here, even if the opponent is only an upper-level or adult-level dependent.

However, the crux of the problem is that the central area is the territory occupied by the apostles. Due to the hunting effect of the higher-level dependents, the distribution of abyssal creatures here is probably more sparse than in the outer circle, but once encountered, the risk is incomparable.

Fortunately, they still have Fran, at least they can use the scent to warn the direction several kilometers downwind, and the detectors of the abyssal creatures can also work through the gray fog.

In order to prevent them from getting separated in the gray mist, and at the same time allow the members to be noticed by others in time when they encountered a situation, they all pulled the same safety rope while marching in line.

This way of traveling looks a bit like a child playing a train game. The order of exploration is that Lin Zhong, who has the ability to predict, is at the front, followed by Fran, then Axia and Li Wenzhou, and finally Wan Jin. .

"Bring the distance a little closer." Lin Zhi suggested, "Make sure the person in front is within sight and report the count every five minutes."

"Before that, should we move Xiaojin to the middle? She is very scared in the back, and she is more likely to be attacked in the back." A Xia suggested.

"That's why we let her take the back seat. Her body can directly withstand artillery shells. Is that okay? Your body is not big enough to be used as a human shield." Lin Zhongfeng replied lightly.

"Can I hit you with a crowbar?" Axia frowned.

"Relax, this time we are just here to check in. If we really can't hold on any longer, we will go back." Lin Zhong said.

After a while, Li Wenzhou, who had been silent, spoke: "Honestly, I don't know how you feel. I'm really embarrassed..."

When the fog concentration reaches this level, protective clothing can no longer play a big role.

Lin Zhong, Fran and Wan Jin, as superiors, would not be eroded by the gray mist. Axia and Li Wenzhou could only rely on the resistance they had developed as abyss hunters to survive.

As an abyss hunter who has adapted to level four relics, Axia's resistance is naturally within the top ten of humans, while Li Wenzhou is just a lighthouse hunter. Although he is considered a pretty good veteran in the hunter world, the gray fog concentration in the central area It was a little harsh for him.

"Have you responded?" Axia asked.

"My ears are ringing, and I'm a little nauseous." Li Wenzhou answered truthfully.

"Want to vomit?" Axia asked.

"It's quite a bit." Li Wenzhou said.

"It's a good thing you're wearing a helmet, otherwise you might spray it on me." A-Xia turned around and vaguely glanced at Li Wenzhou's outline through the gray mist.

"Boss, you're joking with me now, and I'm in no condition to continue." Li Wenzhou sighed.

"Brother Zhong, if nothing happened, we wouldn't have arrived at the center of the abyss just like this, right?" Axia suddenly said half-jokingly.

"Do you know that things can easily get into trouble when you say this?" Lin Zhi motioned her not to say something a bit unfounded. "Don't think so beautifully. If the things in the center of the abyss were so easy to reach, the people of the Deathstroke Order should have taken care of them themselves. The place has been looted, so there is no need to stare at you and kill you."

There must be some kind of special obstacle in the center of the abyss.

Irene also said that the fusion of the core of multiple apostles is the "ticket" to enter the center of the abyss, which shows that certain conditions must be met to enter the center of the abyss.

This time, Lin Zhong just wanted to personally confirm the situation in the center of the abyss. He never thought that he could actually enter the center.

After walking for a while, Li Wenzhou, who was walking in the middle, found that the safety rope in his hand was tightened again and again, and had to speed up his pace. After repeating it several times, he found that Lin Zhong, Fran and Axia in front seemed to be I really walked faster than before.

"Boss, don't go faster and faster, you have to keep your pace at this time!" Li Wenzhou reminded forward.

"It's because you two are walking slowly." A-Xia turned around and replied, "And don't be so meek when you speak."

"Boss, you speak too fast, I can't hear you clearly." Li Wenzhou was a little surprised.

"Stop it all!" Lin Zhong suddenly said.

Everyone stopped.

"What's the situation?" Axia asked subconsciously.

"Something's wrong, let me think about it first." Lin Zhong motioned for her to calm down.

He had felt something uncomfortable a few minutes ago but couldn't quite place it.

As we progressed, this uncomfortable feeling became more and more obvious.

He didn't notice the walking speed, because Fran and A'xia were holding the rope behind him. In his opinion, the pace of the two didn't change.

The problem seems to be between Li Wenzhou and A Xia.
