Chapter 208: In the Thick Mist
The process of leaving was not as smooth as the girls imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info distorted shadow is a flat existence, no volume and height, only area, and their area is not very large, the largest puddle of shadows, is only less than a square meter, any ordinary adult, can easily step over them, so the girls originally thought that leaving here is not a very laborious thing, only need to take a few steps, you can easily leave them behind.
However, there is always a gap between reality and imagination, when Catherine was the first to leap into the air and try to jump over the warped shadows, and in fact she succeeded in doing so, but when she landed, she staggered forward a few steps and almost fell on the flat ground.
"It's strange, I didn't touch it. Catherine's face became strange again, and she looked back at the distorted shadows on the ground like a puddle of mud with a wary gaze, and said puzzledly: "It's still so far away from it, why is it still disturbed by it? Wait, no, I see, is it ...... on height?"
"Well, this thing is weird. "Pannis deliberately didn't remind the girls of the characteristics of distorted shadows before, just to use the actual encounter to let the girls have a correct understanding of the existence of this kind of distortion and be vigilant enough, until Catherine herself found out about the problem, he nodded and said:" As you can see, since these distorted shadows are flat, the concept of height does not exist for them, and there is no difference between stepping over the top of it and stepping on it, so even flying creatures cannot escape their influence, and it is not possible to rely on tricks to pass. β
"So, in the face of them you can only go around?" With Catherine as a precedent, led by Pannis, the maidens bypassed the warped shadows that had gathered together, and the warped shadows were so slow that even if everyone used the speed of a walk, it could not catch up. Catherine also circled half a circle and joined the team, Lina looked at the returning knight girl to make sure that she was not unusual, and then looked back and said, "But it is not difficult to go around." β
"Of course, there's another way, to rush through, like Catherine did just now. Pannis pointed to where Catherine was just now: "If you find that you have been surrounded by warped shadows and there is no gap to detour, then you can only choose to rush hard." β
"It's hard to rush hard. Lina asked curiously: "I tried just now, when I was affected by them, it was difficult for the spirit to control my body, if the number of twisted shadows was too large, and the thickness exceeded a certain range, I am afraid that if you go to the middle, you will fall into a state of chaos, and then as you said, you will be wrapped in them and assimilate, has anyone really succeeded in breaking through?"
"In fact, if you let the will focus, you can still weaken some of the impact, although it will still be disturbed by a large number of chaotic memories, but you can also barely control your body, theoretically speaking, just try a few more times to be proficient, but I strongly do not recommend being bored to try a few more times, don't look at what you don't feel now, but every time you are disturbed, in fact, it will leave a certain wound in the depths of the soul, although these traumas will naturally recover after a period of time, but if you are affected too much in a row, it will often leave a short-term or even permanent wound that cannot be healed, and it will be too late to regret itγ Pannis sighed and said regretfully: "Once a very powerful demigod of the elven race, Pedino, remember the person I mentioned who escaped the distortion of his soul within the forbidden land of the living soul, it is him. In the process of his escape, in order to survive, he has maintained a straight path to impact outward, and as a result, he has been disturbed by too many distorted shadows, leaving a wound on his soul that cannot be healed. For more than a hundred years, he has been living in seclusion on the border of the Lost Forest, on the one hand, to guard against the movements of the demonic beasts in the Death Forest, and on the other hand, he hopes to repair his wounds through some spiritual exercises. β
"Is Peidino the little eye-eyed elf who only likes to say the first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence for others to ponder?" Dilly habitually shook his mane vigorously, and said in a rough voice: "Lao Tzu is very annoying to him, every time Lao Tzu talks to him, he will sulk in the end and want to quarrel with him, but he is like he will not be angry at all, and he hates Lao Tzu so much that he wants to eat him in one bite." β
"You can't beat him, just think about it. Ignoring Dilly's snow-white teeth at him, Pannis said to the girls, "But don't worry too much, as long as you don't get too many interruptions in a row, you won't face this risk." Basically a slight trauma to the soul that repaired itself in an hour or two. β
"So fast?" Pannis's words made the girls finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but look back at the situation behind them.
Behind the group, the warped shadows had been thrown in the thick fog and would never be seen again, but the girls could imagine that they hadn't shaken off the twisted shadows yet. These twisted souls, who are only left with a flat shadow, have long lost their memory, thinking, consciousness, and self, but they still approach a normal soul according to their own instincts, as if they want to draw warmth from normal souls, but the final result is the opposite of what they instinctively pursue.
Walking in the thick fog, even with Eva's light illumination, the girls' vision was still a little blurred, and as long as the distance was a little farther, all they saw was a white expanse, and everything was hidden behind the hazy fog. The mist was steaming and rolling, and the girls even felt that there seemed to be countless hideous shadows hidden inside, and the whole team was surrounded by places that could not be seen in the mist, staring at everyone in the team with greedy and murderous eyes.
Of course, the girls also knew that this was just an illusion of instinctive fear in the depths of their hearts after their vision had been suppressed to a certain extent, but this illusion was not necessarily fake, because no one knew what was hidden in the tumbling mist, whether it was an impassable mountain, a cliff that took life, or an innumerable shadow writhing the flat body, waiting for these sound souls to fall into their own encirclement.
No one spoke, only the rustle of footsteps around the team, the strange and strange environment made everyone lose interest in talking, everyone was moving slowly in the most alert state, although theoretically, this would lead to increased psychological pressure brought by the environment, but with the current experience and quality of the girls, this level of pressure can no longer affect them.
Along the way, they did encounter two or three Twisted Shadows, but their scarcity prevented them from posing any threat, and before they could get closer, they were left behind like their forerunners. (To be continued.) )
