Chapter 395: Black Mist
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
MO Ruyue was still able to adjust her posture in the few seconds she was falling. She fired another nail gun. This time, the target was the rock wall diagonally above the cave.
Relying on the strength of the tightening rope to help her rise quickly, under the three-pronged attack, she had already reduced the force of the slap to the lightest.
Finally, when they were close to the cliff wall, they heard a bang and a huge airbag appeared out of thin air. MO Ruyue immediately hit the airbag.
The airbag only appeared for a second and then disappeared into thin air. However, the buffering power of that second had removed the last bit of force from the slap.
Gu Ying increased the speed at which he pulled the rope. MO Ruyue also climbed up in cooperation and soon reached out to grab the edge of the hole.
“We’re finally here. It wasn’t easy.”
MO Ruyue stood at the familiar cave entrance She first looked in the direction of the Treasure Valley. It was dark there, giving her a bad feeling.
She turned her head to look at the opposite side, thinking of the hardships she had gone through, and her heart was filled with emotion.
A bridge flying from north to south, a natural chasm turning into a path.
She remembered a poem by a great man and could not help but read it out loud.
It was just that the heavenly chasm was still the heavenly chasm now, and there was no path to speak of.
“Bing ‘Er, I have some news to tell you.”
Gu Ying pointed in the direction of the Treasure Valley and said, “Over there… It seems to be blocked.”
“You went to take a look? I took a glance just now, but it was pitch black and I couldn’t see anything.”
MO Ruyue took off the equipment on her body and looked at the other side of the cave.
If the other side was really blocked, then it would be troublesome. It would be equivalent to them wasting a lot of effort.
“No, I thought it wouldn’t take long for you to return to the origin space, so I’ve been waiting here. But I can’t see through it with my eyes, so I’m just guessing.”
Gu Ying deftly helped her untie the equipment and quickly finished packing the things that had been unloaded. MO Ruyue put them into the medium.
“Let’s go and take a look. Perhaps our luck isn’t that bad.”
MO Ruyue maintained an optimistic attitude and led the way to the other end of the cave.
The tunnel was not long, only about twenty meters. With their eyesight, they should be able to see the end of it.
If the passage was not blocked) there should at least be some light, but now there was no light at all, and he could not think of a better explanation.
“No, Bing ‘Er, the one in front seems to be… Fog?”
As Gu Ying spoke, MO Ruyue also stopped.
The passage was filled with the smell of water. When they got closer, they found that there was a black fog firmly blocking the front not far away. No wonder there was no light passing through.
“This isn’t a cumulus fog formed by volcanic ash, but it’s indeed a kind of deposited gas with a large amount of dust particles” MO Ruyue carefully observed.
The mist didn’t extend toward this side. It was as if it was isolated by a transparent wall, and it was extremely distinct.
“Wear the protective suit. Who knows what’s inside?”
Gu Ying’s suggestion received MO Ruyue’s approval. The two of them quickly put on their protective clothing and gas masks again before walking into the black fog.
“Ying, look.”
MO Ruyue raised her hand and grabbed some floccules floating in the mist. Those cotton-like objects were black and white in color and mixed in the mist, looking very turbid.
“What’s going on? It’s like volcanic ash, but it’s not the same thing at all.”
Gu Ying came over and picked up the floccules, but they did not turn into mud like the volcanic ash.
“Let’s go forward and see.”
Nio Ruyue walked forward again.
It was because of these floccules that the mist looked black and completely blocked the light source.
As they continued to move forward, a faint light appeared on the other sideo “Look, the other side isn’t blocked, it’s all because of this mist.”
MO Ruyue turned around, but Gu Ying’s figure behind her had disappeared.
The two of them were clearly only one foot away from each other, but now there was nothing but black mist floating in front and behind her, and Gu Ying that was so close to her was nowhere to be seen.
“Gu Ying?”
MO Ruyue stood in place and called out. She didn’t blindly look around.
The surroundings were quiet, and there was no response.
“Am I hallucinating?
She mumbled to herself. Perhaps this phenomenon was related to the floccules in the mist.
At the same time, Gu Ying looked at MO Ruyue who suddenly stood still. He wanted to reach out to pull her shoulder, but he stopped when he was about to touch her.
Her back was stiff and not in a normal state. If he were to make a move rashly, would it affect her?
Although Gu Ying also knew medicine, he was far from being as skilled as MO Ruyue. At least, if something happened to MO Ruyue at this time, he had no way to save her.
He was anxious, but he couldn’t lose his composure. He could only quickly recall what had happened just now.
The floccules around him continued to float and spin, as if they were isolated by something. They were pushed away as he moved, and did not stain his body.
Wait, the item didn’t land on him?
Only then did Gu Ying notice that the floccules had been pushed away. His body was spotless, but MO Ruyue’s body was wrapped in a layer of such things.
Before entering the black mist, she had scooped up a handful of these floccules for him to see and even crushed them for observation, but he had never taken the initiative to touch them from the beginning to the end.
Could it be that this was the reason why she became like this?
Gu Ying observed for a while more and found that although those floccules were in a suspended state, as long as they got close to MO Ruyue, they would be absorbed by her body.
It was as if she was a huge magnet and those floccules were iron scraps.
Gu Ying immediately tied a knot with the climbing rope on his back and directly tied it around MO Ruyue’s waist. He was also very careful not to have any physical contact with her. Then, he quickly ran out of the range of the black fog and also pulled MO Ruyue out.
The strangest thing was that when she left the black mist, the floccules attached to her body suddenly separated and floated back into the black mist.
After all the floccules had left, MO Ruyue suddenly moved.
“Gu Ying? I’ve found you!’
“You found me? What’s going on? You just stood there without moving and didn’t go anywhere!”
When Gu Ying said this, MO Ruyue was also stunned.
“I didn’t go far just now. I wanted to talk to you, but you were gone. I waited for a while and looked everywhere for you. I only saw you just now.”
“So, I thought I was walking in the black fog for a long time, but I was actually not moving at all?”
“That’s right, and I seem to have found the reason.”
Gu Ying then told them what he had discovered, and the two of them looked at the floccules together.
“Then let’s do another experiment. I’ll go get a sample.”
MO Ruyue didn’t untie the safety rope around her waist. If she fell into an illusion again, Gu Ying could quickly pull her back.
“It’s just a sample. Why don’t I go?
Gu Ying was still worried about letting her take the sample. Who could guarantee that after being stacked by that unknown thing, there would be no more accidents..
