Chapter 208 In the thick fog
The process of leaving is not as smooth as the girls imagined. The twisted shadows are a plane, with no volume and height, only area, and their area is not very large. The largest pool of shadows is only less than one square meter. Any ordinary adult can easily cross them. Therefore, the girls originally thought that leaving here is not a very laborious task. They only need to take a few steps to easily throw them behind them.
However, there is always a gap between facts and imagination. When Catherine was the first to jump up and want to cross the distorted shadow from the air, in fact, she also successfully crossed over, but when she landed, she staggered forward a few steps and almost fell on the flat ground.
"Strange, I didn't touch it clearly." Catherine's face became strange again. She turned around and looked at the distorted shadows like a pool of mud on the ground with a vigilant gaze. She said in confusion: "It's still so far away from it, why are it still disturbed? It took effect when it touched it the first time. Wait, no, I understand, is it at altitude..."
"Well, this thing is very weird." Panis did not deliberately remind the girls of the characteristics of distorted shadows, just to use actual encounters to make the girls have a correct understanding of such distorted existence and remain vigilant enough. Until Catherine discovered the problem himself, he nodded and said: "As you can see, since these distorted shadows are flat, for them, the concept of height does not exist. There is no difference between spanning from the top and stepping on it, so even flying creatures cannot escape their influence. It is not feasible to rely on tricks to pass."
"So, can only go around in the face of them?" With Catherine as a precedent, Panis led the way, the girls bypassed the twisted shadows that gathered together. The twisted shadows were very slow, and even if everyone used the speed of walking, it could not catch up. Catherine also circled around half a circle and joined the team. Lina looked at the returnee girl and confirmed that she was not strange. Then she turned around and said, "But it is not difficult to go around."
"Of course there is another way. Bounce hard, just like Catherine did just now." Panis pointed to where Catherine was: "If you find that it has been surrounded by twisted shadows and there is no room for you to circle around, you can only choose to rush hard."
"It's hard to rush hard." Lina asked curiously: "I tried just now. When they were affected by them, it's difficult to control their body. If the number of distorted shadows is large and the thickness exceeds a certain range, I'm afraid that when I walk into the middle, I will fall into a state of chaos, and then, as you said, they are wrapped and assimilated. Has anyone really succeeded in breaking through?"
"In fact, if you focus your will, it can still weaken some of the impact. Although you will still be disturbed by a large number of chaotic memories, you can barely control your body. Theoretically, it is good to try a few more times, but I strongly recommend that you be bored and try a few more times. Although you can't feel anything now, every time you are disturbed, you will actually leave some trauma in the depths of your soul. Although these trauma will naturally recover after a period of time, if you are affected too much in a row, you will often leave trauma that cannot heal for a short period of time or even permanently, and it will be too late to regret it." Pannis sighed.
Tone. Say sorry: "Peidino, a very powerful demigod of the Elf clan, remembers the person I mentioned who escaped the twisted soul in the forbidden area of the creatures. It is him. In the process of his escape, in order to survive, he kept a straight path and impacted outwards. As a result, he was disturbed by too many distorted shadows, leaving trauma in his mind. For the past hundred years, he has been living in seclusion on the border of the lost forest. On the one hand, he is alert to the movements of monsters in the dead forest. On the other hand, he hopes to repair his own trauma through some spiritual practices."
"Is Pei Dino the little-eyed elf who only likes to say the first half and the second half that others always think about it?" Dilly used to shook his mane hard and said roughly: "I am very annoyed to him. Every time I talk to him, I will sulk in the end and want to quarrel with him, but he seems to be not angry at all, and I hate him so much that I want to eat him in one bite."
"You can't beat him, just think about it." Panis ignored Deere's white teeth showing him and said to the girls: "But don't worry too much. As long as you don't receive too many interferences in a row, you won't face this risk. Basically, a slight soul trauma will be repaired in one or two hours."
"So quickly?" Panis's words finally made the girls feel relieved, and they couldn't help but look back at the situation behind them.
Behind the team, the twisted shadows have been thrown in the thick fog and can never be seen again. However, the girls can imagine that they have not yet shaken off the twisted shadows. These twisted souls with only one flat shadow have long lost their memory, thinking, consciousness, and self, but they still approach a normal soul according to their instincts, as if they want to draw warmth from the normal soul, but the final result is the opposite of the goal they instinctively pursue.
Walking in the thick fog, even with Eva's light illumination, the girls' eyes were still a little blurry, and as long as the distance was a little farther away, all the white scenes were left in their eyes, and all the scenes were covered behind the hazy fog. The fog was steaming and rolling, and the girls even felt that there were countless hideous shadows hidden inside, surrounding the entire team in a position that could not be seen in the fog, staring at everyone in the team with greedy and cruel eyes.
Of course, the girls also know that this is just an illusion caused by instinctive fear in their hearts after vision is suppressed to a certain extent. However, this illusion is not necessarily fake, because no one knows what is hidden in the rolling and steaming fog, is an insurmountable mountain peak? is a cliff that takes life? Or is it countless shadows twisting the plane's body, waiting for these sound souls to fall into their own encirclement.
No one spoke, and there was only the rustling sound of footsteps around the team. The strange and strange environment made everyone lose interest in talking. Everyone was moving forward slowly with the most alert state. Although theoretically, this would increase the psychological pressure caused by the environment, with the current experience and quality of the girls, this level of pressure could no longer affect them.
I did encounter distorted shadows two or three times along the way, but the rare number made them unable to pose any threat. Before I could get close, I was left behind like their pioneers.
