Chapter 884: A Tomb
One of the deputy deacons hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Master Wu Heng, the fog may be more dangerous than the information we have collected. Can you please tell us what kind of rare item you have? We will have an idea in mind to avoid any problems."
In the eyes of these people, the biggest problem with the fog is losing the sense of direction.
There are really difficult to deal with dangers inside, but as long as you can find the direction, you can still escape. Without direction, you won’t even have a chance to escape.
Wu Heng casually flipped through it, took out the [Tracing Pendant] and explained, "This is a magical item for finding people's tracks. When the time comes, as long as you carry the items of the people left behind, you can point out the direction where the other person is."
After this explanation, everyone understood the function of this strange object.
The effect of distinguishing directions is somewhat different from what you might imagine, but it is indeed a method.
The mage's brain is useful.
"You can put it away now." The middle-aged deacon had some idea in his mind and looked at the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The crowd shook their heads.
The middle-aged deacon said directly: "Then go back and prepare, and then gather at the association."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
"Let's go back and prepare!"
Everyone stood up, bowed, and left one after another.
The middle-aged deacon looked at Wu Heng and said with a smile: "Thank you, Island Master Wu Heng, for coming to support us."
"It's our duty. We are all in the Emerald Sea and we should help each other." Wu Heng also responded politely.
The middle-aged deacon looked at him with some surprise.
He just decided to enter the fog, and I thought he would be a rather arrogant person.
Of course, given the island owner's age and achievements, he has reason to be proud.
When speaking in private, he is also very easy-going.
"I'll have someone prepare a dormitory for you. Rest for a while. I'll have someone notify you later."
"Okay!" Wu Heng nodded.
The two walked out of the room together.
The two tall skeletons waiting at the door still caught the deacon's attention.
Wu Heng briefly explained his servants and the other party did not ask any more questions.
He called the staff to arrange a dormitory for Wu Heng, talked to him for a few words, and then went about his own business.
……
Wu Heng followed the staff and walked into the dormitory.
The dormitory is about 40 square meters, with a double bed and a desk.
Two skeletons stood at the door.
Wu Heng sat down beside the bed, took out his mobile phone, turned on the satellite positioning, and prepared to see if it would work when he entered the fog.
It is also a means of identifying direction.
Study for a while.
Xiao Xiao and Benny flew back. Xiao Xiao said, "Uncle, they have all gone down to prepare. There is nothing special."
Penny followed, "I followed the butler, and he also went to arrange the boats."
After arriving here.
Ghosts are also responsible for intelligence work.
I already suspected that there was something wrong with this fog, so I had to be careful in all aspects.
"What level is that deacon?" Wu Heng asked.
"The deacons are level 13, with one deputy deacon at level 11 and one at level 10, and the rest are level 8 or 9." Benny replied.
Just now in the meeting room, the deacons, subdeacons and team leaders were present.
There are no ordinary members.
The impact of the fog now is that ordinary professionals who enter will die, and even captains have some difficulty.
There is no need for ordinary members to participate.
While he was talking, Glenda also flew back and said the same thing: "There is nothing special in the city. It should not be a conspiracy against you."
Wu Heng nodded to show that he understood.
Several people continued to wait in the room for a while.
About two hours later, there was a knock on the door and a staff member's voice, "Sir, the deacon asked me to call you downstairs."
"Okay, I'll go down now." Wu Heng said to the door.
He got up and went out with the skeleton.
……
port.
The ship was ready, and everyone got on board and headed towards the deep sea.
The ship that the association members and Wu Heng were riding on was a warship, which was more sturdy and equipped with many equipment.
When you walk into the cabin, you can see a lot of fresh water and food, and you are really trapped by the fog.
It can also keep these people alive for a period of time while they wait for rescue from outside.
The deacon walked in from outside and introduced: "The fog has spread to almost half of the city. You can enter a certain area on the periphery freely, but if you go deeper, you will get lost."
"Our ship will go in, and the other ships will stay outside to provide support. These are the belongings of the outer crew and those who remain in the city. If we get lost, we will have to rely on your rare item."
After saying that, he handed over the two items.
The first is a sailor's headscarf and the second is a lady's silk scarf.
You can tell at a glance which ones belong to the outer crew members and which ones belong to the people who stayed in the city.
"Okay!" Wu Heng took the things that were handed over.
I had also made preparations, but they were heading in the direction of Treasure Island.
"Master Wuheng, has Treasure Island also learned about the fog?" The middle-aged deacon sat down opposite and asked casually.
"The news brought by the caravan said there was fog and ghost ships," Wu Heng replied.
Looking back now, the association’s response to the whole situation was a little slow.
It took some time for the news to reach Treasure Island.
Only now did these people realize that they could no longer control the fog.
"Hmm!" The middle-aged deacon said worriedly, without any intention of continuing the conversation.
At this time, Benny, who was exploring outside, flew back and went directly into Wu Heng's body.
The footage after the investigation was also shared.
A large area of fog appeared in the direction the ship was heading.
At first glance, there is no end in sight.
It really covers half the area of the city, and according to the deacon, the fog will expand.
If it is not controlled or some useful information is not obtained through investigation, it will expand to the offshore areas sooner or later.
Wu Heng took out his mobile phone and confirmed the eye positioning again. It was still effective and there was no problem.
Dong dong dong~!
After a while, there was a knock on the cabin door, and someone said, "Deacon, we are approaching the fog."
The middle-aged deacon raised his head and looked at Wu Heng, "Island Master Wu Heng, let's go out!"
"it is good!"
Walking out of the cabin, the fleet had already entered the edge of the fog.
A light mist enveloped the several ships, and the rest of the people also used some means to cover their mouths and noses.
"We'll go in, and they'll stay outside. If we don't come out the next day, they'll search inside for a distance. If they still haven't found us, they'll ask for help from the headquarters and ask the elders to take action." The deacon said.
All the other ships stopped, and the ship on our side simply fixed its rudder.
Start moving in a straight line towards the depths of the fog.
As we moved forward, the fog became thicker and visibility was no more than five meters.
In addition to the visual range being affected, other senses, even hearing, are greatly affected.
Even the deafening waves became smaller.
Wu Heng could feel all kinds of negative energy in the fog.
And this energy continues to increase as you go deeper.
He glanced at the other people on the boat and saw that everyone had prepared some corresponding props to resist the influence of the fog.
The ship continued to move forward.
You can see broken planks, broken sails, some wooden barrels and other debris.
Drifting with the waves.
"There's a living person." Suddenly, someone spoke up.
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking. On a broken wooden board, there was a figure lying on the ground. Judging from his clothes, he looked like a sailor.
"Pull it out!" the deacon ordered.
The rope was lowered and someone went down directly. As soon as he approached the floating wooden board, the sailor suddenly jumped up, roared, and tried to drag the person who went down into the sea with his claws and teeth.
The person who went down was the team leader. He punched the target twice in the abdomen, knocking him unconscious.
Then he carried it back to the boat.
"His mind has been affected by the fog. Someone came out before in this state." The middle-aged deacon explained to Wu Heng.
Someone bent down and fed the person who was carried back with medicine.
After the other party woke up, he roared again and pounced on me with his fangs and claws bared.
This state is somewhat similar to that of zombies, but the attack method is slightly different.
The zombies still stood upright and pounced on each other. The man in front of him was half-crouching and moving forward, like Gollum in the Lord of the Rings.
This man was controlled again, and the association used the scroll.
The crazy sailor's eyes became clearer, and he changed from being aggressive to being a frightened rabbit, curled up in a ball and muttering something.
"We are from the association. How did you get out?"
"You are safe now. Can you understand what I say?"
The deputy deacon of the association asked several questions in succession, but the other party did not give a normal answer.
Bang bang~!
The two big mouths slapped him directly, and the deputy deacon said coldly: "How did you get out, otherwise I will chop you now."
"I...I don't know."
"What did you see inside?" the archdeacon continued to ask.
"We saw a ship and wanted to avoid it, but no matter how we went around it, the ship would appear in front of us."
"What about the rest?"
"I have no idea!"
Bang bang~!
Another two slaps on the face, "Think about it carefully!"
The sailor cringed, holding his head in his hands, "I don't know."
The deacon said, "Lock him up."
"Yes!"
The people were taken away, and the deacon came over and explained to Wu Heng, "Everyone is under a lot of pressure, and their behavior is a bit rough. I will talk to them after the mission is over."
Wu Heng nodded without saying anything more.
I feel okay, but for these people, they are facing the pressure of life and death.
The ship continued to move forward.
The others went about their business, while Wu Heng sat down aside.
A small voice sounded in my ear, "Uncle, is this a ghost wall?"
According to the sailors who had just salvaged the ship, as long as the ship entered the fog for a certain distance, it would be approaching the ghost ship no matter which direction it went.
It is somewhat similar to a ghost wall.
But this is a different world. Ghost wall is a term used in our world, while the ones here are generally illusions.
"Well, now that you put it that way, it does look like it." Wu Heng said.
Xiao Xiao leaned on his shoulder and asked, "Is there really a ghost?"
Wu Heng said, "What are you talking about? In our profession, ghosts should be afraid of us."
"Oh, that's right! Then please protect me later, uncle." Xiaoxiao said.
"You protect me."
"I'm a child."
"I'm a college student!" Wu Heng said without giving in.
