Don't call me evil god

Chapter 153 Stepping into the Gray Mist
The misty valley is surrounded by a thick gray fog that never dissipates all year round.

The characteristics of this gray fog are very obvious, as if it is restricted by some invisible constraints, and there is a clear dividing line on the outside of the valley.

On one side of the dividing line was an extremely dense gray fog, through which it was impossible to see what was going on inside;
The other side is a clean and normal environment without any interference.

There is no transition zone like normal fog.

The gray fog in Misty Valley is very abnormal.

There is a bit of horror in the mystery.

This valley is less than 3 kilometers away from Ceylon's No. 30 Defense Line, and is definitely not a remote place. However, except for Pete and his group, other adventurers and mercenaries stay away from here, largely because of the word "never returned".

In the past, there have been adventurers who have tried to explore the secrets of the valley.

As a result, no matter whether they were level 1, 2, 3 or higher-rated professionals, once they stepped into the thick gray fog that permeated outside the valley, they never returned.

The strangest thing is that other people can’t even be sure what these “missing persons” encountered in there.

The moment the person completely stepped into the gray fog, it was as if his connection with this world was cut off!
No matter how people outside called out or reminded, there was dead silence in the gray fog, and no response came out.

Some people have tried auxiliary means, such as giving adventurers positioning magic or divine arts before they start exploring.

Be it magic or divine arts, they will lose their effect the moment the adventurer completely enters the gray fog.

Someone made a special costume with a rope and asked his companion to hold one end of the rope outside.

The result was that when dragging it out along the rope, only one special garment could be dragged out intact.

People are missing.

This is the most creepy thing.

If there is some horrible monster in the fog that wants to eat people, it can't deliberately help take off clothes before eating them, right?

Do I still have to peel the skin before eating it?
The most vivid description should be that there seems to be some terrifying existence in the fog, and as long as someone enters, it will be "eliminated" from the world in an instant.

It is a complete "elimination" in this sense. There will be no fighting and no traces left. It will happen in an instant.

After paying the price of a large number of adventurers "not returning", the Misty Valley completely became a restricted area of ​​the Dark Forest, and no one dared to come here to die in vain.

In fact, no one would even get close to the Misty Valley unless it was necessary.

Although the gray fog looked peaceful and tranquil, it only permeated the area outside the Misty Valley.

But what if this thing is in a bad mood one day and spreads all of a sudden?

Up to now, the number of people who have successfully walked out after stepping into this gray fog is zero!
not even one!

……

Looking at the thick gray fog quietly surging in front of him, even Brandon, who was always the bravest, felt a little scared.

He would not be afraid to hunt monsters. After all, [Secrets of All Things] could directly reveal the status of monsters, and the effect of each attack was real.

All he had to do was kill the monster before it killed him.

But Misty Valley is different!

The principle is unclear, and the conditions for its effectiveness are unclear. The only thing we know is that everyone who went in has never come back!

Brandon's voice was a little weak: "How about we ask the Lord again, is there...some way to enter?"

"Well, I'm not scared. I just think we should be more cautious. Anyway... I'm really not scared at all!"

Brandon hesitated and carefully reached out his hand to touch the diffuse gray mist, and it disappeared as soon as he touched it.

The moment he came into contact with the gray fog, a new oracle flooded into Brandon's mind:

[Main quest progress has been updated! ]

[Current goal: step into the gray fog and activate the creation altar! ]

"Okay, God of Knowledge, I get it!"

After receiving the oracle, Brandon felt more confident. The unknown is the most terrifying.

But since the God of Knowledge has given guidance, it means that He is watching here!

What he should do at this time is to muster up the courage to explore the unknown!
Brandon took a deep breath.

"Everyone, leave it to me!"

"I'll be the first one to go in and explore the way for you. Let's see what secrets are hidden in the gray fog!"

……

Holding my breath, I strode into the gray fog. The world around me seemed to have quieted down.

The sounds of wind, rustling leaves, chirping insects and singing birds in the dark forest disappeared in an instant.

Brandon felt as if something passed through his body, but he was not sure. Maybe it was just an illusion caused by his nervousness.

Other than that, nothing happened.

He was still safely in the gray fog.

There are no scary monsters;

There is no direct gaze of evil gods;
There was nothing. One could even say that the gray fog was eerily calm.

If it were someone else, they might be frightened at this moment, not daring to move or trying to retreat back.

Brandon is different.

He stepped forward without hesitation!

The guidance from the God of Knowledge was to let him step into the gray fog. The Lord's guidance would definitely not harm him!
After just 5 steps forward, the view in front of me suddenly opened up!
The moment you see what the valley really looks like:
"Oh my god... God of knowledge!"

……

Beyond the valley.

Pete and the others were nervously watching the situation of the gray fog.

When Brandon stepped in, the gray fog began to ripple slightly, as if swallowing people up like a whale, and then it returned to calm again.

"Brandon?"

Pete called out tentatively.

no respond.

It was not known whether it was because sound could not be transmitted in the gray fog, or for some other reason, but after Brandon entered, he seemed to be just like the adventurers before him, with no further news.

Fortunately, Pete and his friends have another way to contact Brandon.

"The winged snake dances and comes through the gap."

After decisively reciting the prayer of the Instant Messenger, Pete quickly edited the message and sent it to the target: Brandon Robert!

[Pete Chinal: How is the situation in the gray fog? Are you okay? What happened? ]

The divine message was sent successfully, which made Pete feel greatly relieved.

This means that Brandon is at least still alive.

The instant messenger can only be used to transmit messages between believers of the God of Knowledge. Moreover, if the other party is dead, the sender will be prompted that the target of the message cannot be found and the transmission has failed.

The fact that it could be successfully sent to Brandon meant that the magic of the God of Knowledge could be used even after the other party stepped into the gray fog, and that Brandon was not dead yet.

A few seconds later, Brandon's reply arrived:
[Brandon Robert: Fuck, fuck, fuck! Stop sending messages! I don’t have time to reply to you! The gray fog can pass through, come in and help! I’m dying, dying, dying!!!]
