Chapter 102: Sea of Fog
At the end of the courtyard, the fog was so thick that it was hard to see what was happening outside.
Except for the sound of the waves, there were no other strange sounds around the courtyard.
Da Huang jumped down from the terrace on the third floor, and the pads on his feet landed gently without making any sound.
"Is there any danger around?" Xiao Jian asked.
"Meow..."
Da Huang shook his head slightly.
Judging from his expression, it should be true that there is no danger, but he couldn't tell.
After all, cats are mostly afraid of water. If there are really enemies in this sea area outside, then the possibility that they are hiding under the water is very high.
Xiao Jian switched the perspective of the war chess.
Then, no suspicious targets appeared in the courtyard.
Except for the waves that kept hitting the embankment, there was nothing else that would move.
After observing for a while and making sure that the tide would not rise again, Xiao Jian took out the two characteristic cards he had just obtained and chose to use them on himself.
Originally, I wanted to save them to see the situation, but I didn't expect to use them up so soon.
As the two trait cards disappeared, Xiao Jian's trait column also added the two traits [Raven Feather] and [Calling Tide].
"Da Huang, try the new trait." Xiao Jian squatted down and tied the feather hat on its head.
Now, the hint of continuous flight attached to this feather relic came in handy.
Da Huang blinked, and the [Raven Feather] trait shared from Xiao Jian in its trait column began to glow slightly.
Then, a large number of black feathers suddenly extended from Da Huang's shoulder blades, and soon turned into two huge eagle-like wings.
"Hu... Hu..."
Da Huang tried to flap the wings brought by the new trait twice, and then flew into the sky!
"Swoosh..."
Da Huang flew so smoothly that if it weren't for the fact that his flying posture was a little bit wrong, Xiao Jian would even think it was a bird.
Wearing a monocle, Xiao Jian followed Da Huang's perspective and went deep into the fog.
However...
Water, water everywhere.
In the limited field of vision of less than 5 meters, everything in sight was submerged by the sea.
This continued for several minutes until Xiao Jian finally lost his patience. After communicating with Da Huang, he immediately started the war chess perspective.
The chessboard of heaven and earth, like a giant net, slowly unfolded with Da Huang as the center.
However, this time, nothing was caught.
"..."
Xiao Jian let Da Huang go around in the fog for a few more circles, and after casting a few more nets, there was still no harvest.
It seemed that this was really just a strange fragment of the world, or even just a "terrain event".
Da Huang flew back from outside the fog, and just before it entered the fog wall, Xiao Jian activated another feature he had just obtained.
As the feature was activated, Xiao Jian unconsciously squatted slightly, put his hands to his mouth, and then...
"Woo ah woo woo woo..."
"..."
?
After yelling, Xiao Jian was confused, and didn't understand why he made such a sticky sound.
However, the effect of the characteristic is still very strong. A large amount of fog gathered and continuously transformed into half-human-high murlocs.
After a while, the fog extraction stopped, and dozens of murlocs stood in the golden sea water, waiting for Xiao Jian's order.
Xiao Jian took a look at their attributes, and the result was just an ordinary 1-star monster card, which was nothing special compared to zombies.
However, in the characteristic column of these murlocs, there was an additional 20-minute countdown feature:
[Ebb Tide] (19'53'')
When the tide recedes, the fish will also disperse.
After satisfying his curiosity, Xiao Jian ordered all murlocs to explore outward in a fan shape.
At this time, Xiao Jian felt the difference between this summoned creature and zombies... that is, he could actually get the perspective of these murloc monsters!
Although it still needs to rely on the [False God] characteristic, this at least shows that these murloc summons are in the same camp as Xiao Jian!
Although the panels of these murlocs are clearly marked with "Monster Card".
So, even monsters may be in the same camp as their own?
But Xiao Jian was just guessing, so this information needs to be further improved later.
20 minutes passed in a flash.
When all the fishmen disappeared in the sea, Xiao Jian also got enough information.
At present, no land can be seen within 20 minutes outside the courtyard, and from the depth of the sea, the farther away from the courtyard, the deeper the sea.
The deepest place reached by one of the fishmen was even more than 100 meters!
The reason why they didn't explore deeper was that 20 minutes had passed and the fishmen disappeared.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that there are no creatures on the seabed, not even water plants, shells and other life.
Under the seabed is completely dead and bottomless.
Da Huang landed on the terrace on the third floor and was combing his feathers with his hind legs.
"Ah... woo..."
As the surrounding situation was explored, sleepiness came again.
Xiao Jian yawned long and wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but after thinking carefully, he moved the bed and quilt and carried the sofa to the third-floor terrace.
At least here, there is no need to worry about being submerged by the sea at night.
...
Across the fog and the deep sea, in a place that is too far to be explored, there is a cliff higher than the sky.
In the broken sky, several broken pieces of celestial fragments are hanging in the center of the sky, emitting cold moonlight.
Yes, these fragments are the remains of the moon.
The tide under his feet kept hitting the majestic and straight cliff, stirring up waves with salty smell.
A burly man who almost lost his human form sat on the ground.
The moonlight stretched its shadow long, as if it was a tiger going down the mountain.
"...It's the smell of blood."
"There are crows, monkeys, and... heh, carp spirits."
"With so many dead, I guess that great man should be quiet now..."
The strong man raised his head and looked directly at the broken moon in the sky... and the huge vortex behind the moon that was slowly rotating in the endless darkness.
"There's only a little time left, just a little more time..."
"How can you become stronger if you don't digest it?"
"... Be patient, huh... You must be patient... Just be a little more patient than everyone else..."
The strong man slowly closed his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and gradually stopped moving, even the sound of his breathing seemed to disappear.
In the distance, there was a flickering fire.
The almost inaudible screams were completely covered by the sound of the waves.
However, no matter how fierce the sound of the waves was, it could never cover the faint and miserable wailing.
They were like the whispers of the devil, but they would always sneak into your ears quietly the moment you lose your vigilance.
