Perhaps because of the singing, the roar of strange beasts never appeared in the jungle in this area, as if the source of the song was the master of this forbidden area.
After it appears, everything will be silent.
Team Lei sat there silently, still looking into the distance, it was pitch black and there was nothing.
Xu Qing's expression was a little complicated, and after a while, his eyes swept in all directions, and finally landed on the brutal ghost's mace and the shattered shield fragments.
The corpses of the barbarian ghosts, like all the corpses here, turned into dust when the mist of the singing left, as if they had never existed in the world.
Waste pickers often have no relatives, so their dissipation may not be concerned by many people.
Even if there is, it will eventually be slowly forgotten in the passage of time, until a few years later, no one knows or remembers.
Xu Qing suddenly thought of what the teacher who was good to him in the slums had said to their group of children before Feng Zhu died of illness in his later years.
"It is a kind of pain to have people in your heart who cannot be forgotten, and it is a kind of happiness to be remembered in your heart."
At that time, Xu Qing didn't understand this sentence very well, but at this moment he looked at Team Lei and understood the meaning of this sentence to some extent, so he didn't bother, but silently walked to the place where the barbarian ghost corpse used to be, took out a dagger, and dug it up on the ground.
Although he did not have a deep relationship with the barbarian ghosts, to be precise, it was a few days, and he didn't say a few words, but the other party taught him his jungle experience, and they came out of the life and death wolf tribulation together, and finally he also used the other party's things to block the black blood.
So Xu Qing felt that he should do something.
Just as he left the city and cremated the corpses of the whole city, he dug the soil the ground and gradually dug a hole.
buried the brutal ghost's mace and shield fragments.
During this process, Xu Qing was very serious and didn't notice the Lei team behind him, and at some point he had withdrawn his gaze towards the jungle and was looking at him.
In his expression, there was a touch of strangeness when he looked at Xu Qing for the first time in the ruins of the city, and after seeing Xu Qing burying the weapon of the barbarian ghost, it seemed that he wanted to make a tombstone, and the Thunder Team spoke softly.
"Scavengers, no need for tombstones."
"Dust to dust, earth to earth. This is the life of a scavenger, struggling in the world during his lifetime, and after his death...... There is no need to worship, just be quiet."
Speaking of this, Team Lei's aura became weaker and weaker, the seriousness of the injury, the accumulation of heterogeneity, and the overdraft of his mind made him unable to hold on, and the world slowly molded, and he closed his eyes and passed out.
Xu Qing approached, took out some horse chestnut from his pocket, and stuffed it into Team Lei's mouth.
He didn't know if it was useful, but he thought that since this thing was a necessity for making white elixir, it still had the effect of alleviating heterogeneity.
After doing this, he carried the Thunder Team on his back, tied it tightly with his clothes, and then took a deep breath and galloped through the jungle in the dark night.
When passing by the place where the Blood Shadow Captain turned into dust, Xu Qing saw a leather bag, picked it up and opened it, there was no elixir inside, only some miscellaneous items.
So he put it away and walked away.
When Team Lei's consciousness weakly recovered, it was already half an hour later.
He felt that he was being carried by a thin body, undulating with its beating, and slowly opened his eyes and saw the profile of the boy in front of him.
He was silent.
Xu Qing also noticed the awakening of the Thunder Team and spoke in a low voice.
"Are you better, you can continue to sleep for a while, and in a few more hours, we should be able to get out of the forbidden area before dawn."
Team Lei didn't speak, his weak body became more and more unable to hide his old age, he tried to look up at the dark sky, his eyes slowly molded, and when his consciousness was about to fall into a coma again, he muttered.
"Child, do you know why I offered to take you away twice in the ruined city?"
Xu Qing's figure did not pause and shook his head.
"Then do you remember the scene when we met?" The Thunder Team's voice was weak.
"I remember." Xu Qing's body moved, jumped onto a big tree, raised his right hand to grab it, grabbed the alien lizard that was hiding there and rushing forward, and threw it to the ground in front of him.
With a bang, as the lizard fell, a large number of rattans on the ground twisted, quickly came to wrap around it, and were pierced through the skin armor and devoured by the lizard's struggle.
Xu Qing took advantage of this opportunity to jump up, avoid danger and continue to move away.
At this moment, there was a weak murmur from the Thunder Team behind him, his voice was sickly and weak, if it wasn't very close, it would be extremely difficult to hear.
"I saw you cremating the corpse, and you were next to the flames, reflected by the firelight, as if melting with the fire, making me feel as if I saw it...... A ray of warmth in this cruel world."
Xu Qing paused and fell silent, and the Lei team behind him also fell into a coma again.
After a few breaths, Xu Qing silently raised his foot and continued to gallop in the jungle, shuttling through the trees and speeding away.
Time passed, and soon an hour passed.
Xu Qing avoided the danger, and his figure got closer and closer to the edge of the jungle.
At this moment, the sky was at its darkest, and the cold from the forbidden area at night invaded the surroundings, but fortunately, Xu Qing had been moving rapidly, and the heat generated by his body's instinct had slightly resisted the cold.
Simply...... As he moved forward, the cold became more and more intense, and after a stick of incense, Xu Qing's figure stopped abruptly, looking ahead with a gloomy face.
In front of him, a thick fog appeared in the jungle.
This fog was extremely thick and spread in the distance, but unlike the singing blood mist Xu Qing had seen before, it didn't seem to have a strong sense of oppression.
It's just that as far as the eye can see, the place shrouded in fog is a lake, and it is impossible to see everything around it clearly.
Especially at this moment, the night made the fog cover even more intense, Xu Qing wanted to avoid it, but he ran for a long time, and all he hoped for was still the fog coming.
He knew what it was.
When they first walked into the forbidden area, Cross and Luanya said that there is a kind of danger in the forbidden area called fog.
If you are shrouded in this fog, people will lose their way and eventually get lost.
And once this fog is formed, it often takes a long time to dissipate naturally.
Xu Qing felt that although he could survive until the fog dissipated, the heterogeneity in his body would not skyrocket, but the weak Thunder Team would not be able to do it.
This forced Xu Qing to retreat, trying to bypass the fog with a larger range.
Yet...... The fog was too big, no matter how fast he was, he still fell into a situation where there was fog in the front, back, left and right, and there was nowhere to hide, and he was submerged in the fog.
But soon, the fog that flooded Xu Qing's place gradually became thinner, and finally Xu Qing's suspicious figure was revealed.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet.
There was no shadow in the night, but Xu Qing could feel the fog around him, which was rapidly pouring into the soles of his feet at this moment.
It was like the invisible shadow, forming a vortex that devoured the surroundings.
The speed of this devouring was not fast, and it didn't take long for it to be full, and it no longer absorbed, causing the mist to flood Xu Qing's figure again.
Yet...... As the shadow devouring ended, a force of feedback poured into Xu Qing's body, converging his eyes, and as far as the eye could see, the dense fog actually became transparent.
Or it cannot be described by seeing, but by perceiving!
Obviously, the fog still existed, and it was obviously extremely dense, but in his perception, it was only a slight mold lake, far from the point of blocking the gaze and making people lose their eyes.
This made Xu Qing's breathing shorten, and he looked down at the invisible shadow under his feet.
"What the hell are you......" Xu Qing whispered.
After a while, he looked up and sensed his surroundings, silent and less leaning, his body moved immediately, his speed undiminished, like a ghost in the thick fog, galloping by.
Until not long after, Xu Qing, who was speeding in this dense fog, saw a living person.
It was two scavengers.
Xu Qing faintly remembered that they seemed to have seen each other in the camp, and the two were holding hands with each other at this moment, slowly exploring and moving forward like blind men in the thick fog.
But in Xu Qing's perception, their progress was actually circling in circles, and obviously they had also noticed this, and the sweat on their foreheads and heavy breathing revealed their nervousness and despair for the future.
After glancing at the two of them, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, and his body was about to leave in a flick.
He has no overflowing compassion, lives in this cruel world, has no purpose to save people, in exchange for examples of being backlashed, he has seen too many in the slums.
But for people whose vision is covered, their hearing will be extremely sharp at this time, so they still noticed the footsteps when Xu Qing left.
The two of them immediately showed nervousness, they couldn't tell whether it was a human or a beast that came from the sound, so one of them roared lowly, showing ferocity, as if to deter them.
The other one shouted for help, and even took out white pills and spirit coins from his leather bag in order to show his sincerity, and promised to give them away, just for a glimmer of life.
Xu Qing stopped in his footsteps, looked back at the white pill in the man's hand, and felt the weakness of the thunder team behind him.
So after thinking about it, he rummaged through his leather bag and found a candle to light it, so that there was a fire where it was, but the fire was weak, and the fog was suppressing it, and it was slowly darkening.
While the fire was still there, Xu Qing stepped back some distance, looked at the two people not far away, and slowly spoke.
"Go straight on the right for seven steps, and then ten steps to the left......"
As Xu Qing's voice came in, the two scavengers trembled with ecstasy on their faces, and immediately followed Xu Qing's instructions when they were breathing rapidly.
Soon, in Xu Qing's successive instructions, they circled left and right, avoiding dangerous places, and the fog in front of them slowly thinned as they approached the place where the candle was located.
Until they walked into the range of the candle that was about to go out, they were illuminated by the fire, like a blind man regaining light, and instantly fell beside the candle, feeling excited and boiling strongly.
As for Xu Qing, he was hiding in the dark on the edge at the moment, even if the fire was faintly reflected, but his figure was still Mo Hu, looking at the excited appearance of the two people in front of him expressionlessly, and spoke calmly.
"White Dan for me."
One of them trembled and immediately threw the leather bag containing the spirit coin and white pill to Xu Qing without hesitation, thanking him again and again.
And the other was just about to take the elixir from his body, but after his eyes swept over Xu Qing's figure, his excitement subsided.
Because Xu Qing was in the dark, the fog was thin and swirling, so in this person's eyes, Xu Qing's face could not be seen clearly, only the thinness of his body, and the appearance of a comatose person behind him.
So a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face and he spoke with a sincere expression.
"This little brother, I have finished eating all the white pills on my body, but don't worry, when the fog clears, or you have a way to take me out, I will definitely repay you twice as much."
After saying that, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Xu Qing's place, a little eager to try.
The companion next to him was also annoyed in his heart at this moment, feeling that he seemed to have given too quickly before.
Xu Qing glanced deeply at the scavenger who didn't give Bai Dan and didn't speak.
Just raised his right hand and waved it, the wind blew, and the candle fire went out in an instant, and the surroundings fell into darkness and fog again.
When the exclamation came out of the man's mouth just now, Xu Qing approached and tore off the leather bag from his body, and then his calm voice echoed around.
"No, you can stay inside."
"Wait, I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, I'll give you the white pill, I'll ......"
This man suddenly became anxious and wanted to grab something, but his body was stopped by the trees under his feet and fell down.
When he got up, his call became more anxious, and a strong sense of regret filled his body and mind.
"Little brother, listen to my explanation, I ......"
Xu Qing ignored the other party's call and walked towards the other person who gave him the white pill.
This person's face was now shocked, and he fell into the fog again full of panic, and without him noticing it at all, Xu Qing passed by him and spoke calmly.
"Follow my footsteps."
After saying that, Xu Qing did not look back and continued to move forward, and after hearing Xu Qing's words, the man immediately listened to the sound and followed, and at this moment he was unprecedentedly glad that he had just given the reward.
Especially when he heard the anxious wailing behind him, which quickly turned into a crazy curse for unsuccessful calls for help, the despair in that tone made his heart tremble, and he had a stronger sense of awe for the owner of the footsteps in front of him.

Wake up late...... It was so hot that I wanted to stay in the jungle of the restricted area......
