Chapter 457 458. Sweet

"These evil spirits are afraid of fire. As long as they use flames to form a defensive circle, they will not be able to invade quickly. Once burned to a certain extent, they can be defeated."

Bei Luoxi introduced.

“And the smell of smoke can be dissipated to a certain extent.”

According to the map, they had to walk forward for at least five days before they could reach the location where Beiluoxi saw the fairy island last time.

"Last time?"

Hui Jiang was a little puzzled.

"It's like this, sir. The fairy island is not a fixed location, but is ethereal. Sometimes it appears, sometimes it is hidden in the fog, making it difficult to figure out."

Bei Luoxi replied.

"Then will our trip be in vain?"

Hui Jiang immediately asked.

"I sent scouts to explore in advance. The fog in front has dissipated, and we should be able to find the fairy island."

Beiluoxi reassured Huijiang.

Sitting on the carriage carrying supplies at the back, Qiao Mu stared at her phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone is a picture taken by a drone.

He saw that mist was indeed beginning to appear in front of him. The white mist was not like the clouds in ordinary mountains, but more like some kind of liquid, clinging to the barren mountains and ridges. It was white and everywhere, with a disgusting smell. Feel.

Qiao Mu controlled a drone to approach the white mist, and found that the white mist was not really small suspended water droplets like water mist, but a thick and thin liquid.

This white mist is filled with a strong smell, not a stench, but a sweet and creamy fragrance, which makes people feel even more weird.

At this moment, Qiao Mu lost control of his drone.

As if being hit by an EMP, the drone fell to the ground and quickly lost contact.

"It seems like the white mist has the function of blocking signals."

Qiao Mu concluded.

He turned off his phone and looked ahead before the artificial intelligence was about to sell him a new shield-proof drone.

At least they were walking on the right path. The farther they went, the thicker the white mist became. I wonder what the white mist would look like when they arrived at Penglai Island.

A day later, white mist has begun to appear on both sides of the road. The sweet smell penetrates into the nose, making people feel sleepy, as if they are in a honeypot, and it is easy to relax their vigilance.

"It's best not to touch the white mist. Although there is no danger, no one knows what's in it."

Bei Luoxi reminded.

Qiao Mu looked at a slightly larger cloud of white mist. Among the semi-solid mist, there was the body of a hare. The hare strayed into it unknown how long ago. It was as if it had been captured by the white mist. Its body did not rot or deteriorate, probably because bacteria and microorganisms were blocked by the white mist. However, the hare's fur and flesh seemed to be gradually melting and being swallowed by the white mist.

"If you enter rashly, you will be captured by it like this. It will be difficult to escape, and it will eventually become fodder."

Bei Luoxi noticed the eyes of the medicine seekers and said.

"feed."

General Nanzhou's gaze remained on the swallowed hare, as if he was imagining what would happen if he was swallowed by the white mist.

"However, these mist can be dispelled by fire. As long as you are not caught alone, you can escape with the help of others."

Beiluoxi told them not to worry too much.

At this time, Wushan discovered that there was a cloud of white mist not far from the roadside, and an evil spirit was imprisoned in it. Naturally, the evil spirit could not escape the erosion of the white mist and was digested and absorbed in it.

Qiao Mu curiously reached out to the trees on the side of the road that were stained with white mist and dug out a small piece.

The white mist was like ice cream, sticky and cold. Qiao Mu put it in front of her nose and sniffed it carefully.

Like cream ice cream, it smells sweet.

Qiao Mu put it into his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

He spit it out immediately.

Different from the sweet smell, the white mist brought a burning sensation as soon as it touched the tip of the tongue. It was like drinking concentrated sulfuric acid with chili pepper. Qiao Mu didn't even taste what it tasted. His body had already reacted first. come over.

Qiao Mu carefully felt the thick mist remaining in his mouth, and he realized that the mist was not ordinary gas or liquid, but dense microorganisms.

Just like a behemoth made up of countless small bugs, the white mist is a colony composed of hundreds of billions of microorganisms.

These microorganisms have flagella, many wandering legs, and sharp mouthparts. Although they are small in size, they gather together and destroy everything. They are as dangerous as the termites devouring human flesh in the roadside stall magazines that Qiao Mu read when he was a child.

In fact, the sweet smell itself is part of the white mist. It is the olfactory experience caused by microorganisms floating in the air entering the nasal cavity.

If too much of this smell is inhaled, these microorganisms will gradually accumulate in the human body, eventually eroding internal organs and devouring flesh and blood.

"These smells are also white mist."

Qiao Mu briefly talked about his findings.

The soldiers were a little scared. When it came to inhaling, they didn't know how long they had been inhaling. Now they couldn't find out how much white mist remained in their bodies. And as they continued to move forward, there was more white mist, which was really disappointing. Feeling shuddering.

"Start a fire and burn these all."

Bei Luoxi made a prompt decision and asked the light cavalry on the outside to light torches. The blazing flames only got slightly closer to the white mist, causing the sticky mist to dissipate like a lit spider web, and the sweet smell disappeared immediately.

"Don't worry too much. We have been in and out of this fog many times, and we are fine now. This shows that normal breathing will not cause serious consequences."

He reassured again.

I don’t know if it had any psychological effect, but someone in the team started coughing.

"Probably smoked."

Qiao Mu felt that the microorganisms he inhaled were quickly defeated by Qiao Mu in his body, but there were no sequelae.

Fortunately, there are forests nearby, and the wood is inexhaustible. In this era, there are no girls who protect the environment to condemn them. Therefore, everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high, and the white mist was quickly dispersed.

"Maybe it's the white mist that affects the evil spirits and makes them afraid to approach."

Qiao Mu thought.

If the evil spirits break into the mist, not only will they not be able to continue to reproduce, but they will also be swallowed up by the sticky mist, it will be a big loss.

Deep into the forest, the mist has become everywhere, the air is filled with a strong sweet smell, and even the chirping of insects can no longer be heard.

If an animal strays into it, it will be eroded by the white mist unknowingly, eventually captured, and become food for those microorganisms.

However, humans know how to use flames. The flames dispersed the thick fog and burned the vegetation blocking the road, allowing the team to move forward.

Five days later, according to Bei Luoxi, it was very close to the location of the fairy island.

The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker, and sometimes it takes a while to burn before moving forward.

"arrive."

Finally, in the evening of that day, when the sun was about to set, Beiluoxi stopped.

Everyone looked forward.
