Above the gray fog

The night wind blew across his face silently, causing Lin Shan's face to hurt. This was definitely not an ordinary wind.

The bright moonlight splashed on the earth, bringing a hazy light to the night.

Lin Shan looked up at the night sky.

His pupils shrank slightly.

It was not the moon that was emitting light.

It was a huge face hanging in the sky, with pupils wide open, staring at the land.

Lin Shan blinked to make sure he was not mistaken.

Hanging in the sky was really a distorted, huge face, like a human face, but with thick red hair, and the face was covered with deep marks of decay. The flesh had become mottled and swollen, and the rotten flesh was gray-green in color, overflowing with sticky decay fluid, as if some mysterious corrupt power was devouring every inch of the skin of this face, and the facial features had been rotten to the point of being blurred.

This face occupied almost one-third of the entire sky, and it was so huge that it was suffocating.

Lin Shan felt like a tiny being trapped in a crystal ball, and this huge face was like a god peeking into the crystal ball.

After only looking at it for less than three seconds, Lin Shan felt a little uneasy.

He took a few deep breaths to calm down, and didn't dare to look up again.

Feel the strong beating of his heart.

Lin Shan slowly released his heart and looked far away.

Although the reminder of Chief Wendytuo was still ringing in his ears - it was dangerous at night.

But Lin Shan did not return to the small building immediately.

The main dangers on the border came from the "beasts".

The "beasts" were real beings, and most of them were not intelligent. As long as they appeared, their breath would leak out. Lin Shan didn't think he would survive more than one night on the border.

As Chief Wendytuo said, the village did not disappear, but the space was stretched.

The nearest building to the small building now appeared thousands of kilometers away.

The original diameter of the village was less than two kilometers, but now it has stretched to cover a vast land of more than 100,000 kilometers.

In addition to the space being stretched, Lin Shan also understood what the ‘earth rumbling’ meant.

The earth really came alive.

The ground was quietly rhythmic, as if there was a beating heart buried deep underground, sometimes rising and falling slightly, sometimes still as usual.

Occasionally, there would be a trace of life breath.

The heart lake covering the entire village did not continue to spread far away, but instead went underground.

However, at this moment, Lin Shan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Dozens of fierce and unignorable auras had locked his position.

The heart lake was suddenly retracted in an instant, and Lin Shan quickly entered the small building behind him.

The atmosphere in the house became heavy.

Outside the house, the huge and chaotic footsteps shook the small building constantly.

Lin Shan could vaguely see the shadows outside through the window lattice.

More than one beast was looking for his location.

Lin Shan was ready to escape.

But after these beasts circled the small building several times, they didn't find him and ran to other areas with heavy steps.

Soon, shrill screams were heard.

The beasts that surrounded them began to kill each other.

Lin Shan was surprised to find that they deliberately moved away from the small building before starting the fight.

"Is that so..."

After repeated observations, Lin Shan roughly knew what was going on.

It was not the protection provided by the small building.

Five huge stone tablets stood on the original square of the village. The stone tablets emitted a strange wave. When this wave hit the building, it would form a field that enveloped the building.

The field would become a blind spot for the beasts, and it would also emit another wave, causing the beasts to have a similar manic and restless mood, so as to stay away.

The previous small building should not be in this field. How did it survive safely until now without being destroyed by the beasts?

Is it because there is no sign of life in the small building, so the beasts are not interested?

Without thinking about these unanswered questions, Lin Shan silently waited for dawn.

He took the risk of conducting various tests because he did not completely trust the words of the Wendytuo tribe leader.

He needed to see with his own eyes whether these strange phenomena were really as Wenwo said.

If there were any inconsistencies, it would prove that the other party had deceived him.

The night gradually faded, and the light on the horizon began to slightly shine.

It seemed that because the border was not governed by the laws of nature, the night seemed particularly long.

If calculated by the normal time, Lin Shan felt that this night had passed for at least nearly a hundred hours.

While waiting for dawn, Lin Shan secretly glanced at the giant face in the sky again.

Out of some inexplicable impulse, he deliberately prolonged the time of staring.

Just when he was about to look away, vaguely, the eyelids of the rotten face seemed to move slightly.

"Alive?"

Lin Shan suddenly felt cold hands and feet, as if he had been cursed inexplicably.

After a careful investigation, he found nothing again.

As the sky gradually brightened, Lin Shan pushed open the door of the small building.

The village has returned to its original state.

Everything last night seemed like a fantasy.

He took the second notebook and found Wenwo working in the field.

Wenwo was carrying a wooden basket and holding a sharp blade, cutting the pieces of rotten meat in the field.

After just one night, the rotten meat had obviously grown much larger, and the surface was covered with strange veins.

Wenwo hummed in a low voice while cutting skillfully, looking very happy.

When Wen Wo saw Lin Shan coming, he quickly put the wooden frame on his back aside and turned around to greet him, "Mu Mu Shan, how was your night last night?"

"It's okay." Lin Shan replied softly. After a slight pause, he asked, "What happened to that face in the sky last night?"

Wen Wo smiled, and for Lin Shan, this smile was a bit charming.

His body leaned forward slightly, his shoulders drooped, almost bending at 90 degrees, and he looked up at Lin Shan.

"That's the 'Ancient God's Face'. Even I rarely see it with my own eyes. The 'Ancient God's Face' only appears once every hundred years on average. For us, its appearance is a good sign, which means that the meat field can Good harvest." He said with a hint of emotion in his eyes. "Originally, I was worried that there would not be enough resources in the cold winter, so I planned to let the people go out hunting. Now with this bumper harvest, our people can survive the cold winter safely. After a period of time after the cold winter, the beasts will enter a period of weakness. At that time, we can Hunting, there will be far fewer casualties.”

Having said this, Wen Wo kept slapping his palms, "Mu Mu Shan, you are such a lucky star! Originally, I was ready to let all the people go out to hunt animals in exchange for food for the winter. At the most critical moment, You brought Canglan's resources, and on the second day after you arrived, the 'Ancient God's Face' that was rare in a hundred years appeared! You are really a lucky star sent by the forbidden goddess!"

Lucky star?

The bad luck was not bad, Lin Shan laughed at himself in his heart.

It can be heard from Wen Wo's words that he doesn't know much about the 'Ancient God Face', at most he only knows the name.

No longer thinking about Ju Lian, Lin Shan expressed his true intention.

"I found this in the book you gave me yesterday."

Lin Shan handed the note to Wen Wo, "All recorded here are road signs. Take a look, is there a road to the other side in these patterns?"

"Signpost?"

Wenwo was obviously confused.

He took the notes from Lin Shan and flipped through each page carefully.

"I have read all the books I gave you, even though I can't understand them..."

"But there should be no information about road signs in those books."

"These... are just meaningless patterns drawn in random circles. How can they be road signs?"

Lin Shan was silent for a moment and explained, "I recognize the last annotation. The pattern carved on it may indeed be a road sign."

Wen Wo was stunned for a moment. The doubt in his eyes did not dissipate, but deepened. After a moment, he slowly stretched out a hand, his palm facing Lin Shan, "This is the road sign, this is the road to Canglan." " road sign."

Lin Shan stared at the road sign floating in Wen Wo's palm.

Looks weird.

This road sign is not a symbol or ritual pattern, but a real three-dimensional sign, like a guidepost inserted at a crossroads, exuding a faint blue light.

It stood in the palm of Wen Wo's hand, slowly floating and turning.

In the center of the sign, there is a curved silver line carved into it, like a road carved into it by an invisible force.

At the top of the sign, there is a protruding arrow, pointed and sharp, pointing towards the sky.

"The road sign...is a real object?" Lin Shan's brain was a little short-circuited. Why was it different from what Mamazaha said in her notes?

"Of course." Wen Wo said matter-of-factly.

"Then what are these?" Lin Shan pointed to the various patterns in the notes.

"A meaningless pattern," Wenwo commented.

wrong.

Lin Shan felt something was extremely wrong.

"May I ask, where did you get this road sign?" Lin Shan looked at Wen Wo.

"This is not a secret that cannot be told." Wenwo explained, "The road signs are all purchased from the upper clan. They can be exchanged for meat or Canglan resources. Each road sign can only provide ten round trips at most. Ten times As long as you can successfully bring back resources once, you can get your money back.”

Looking at Wen Wo's expression that it was a good deal, three words came to Lin Shan's mind.

Cut leeks.

The so-called superior race must be a more powerful intelligent race in the border.

They mastered the rituals of the road signs and made them into physical objects to sell to the weaker ethnic groups.

In this way, as long as there are enough people who buy road signs, they can make a lot of money even if they do nothing.

Wen Wo thought Lin Shan was worried about going to the other side.

He said happily, "I have asked my tribe to go to the upper tribe to buy road signs to the other side. We just set off at dawn. According to the past time, we can return in twelve days."

"You only need to wait for another twelve days. After getting the road sign, I will send you to the other side as soon as possible. When you return from the other side, you can also use the return formation of the road sign to return to our clan. At that time, I can send you Send it back to Canglan.”

"Well..." Lin Shan nodded lightly, "Thank you very much."

Just cut leeks.

The strong will exploit the weak wherever they are, but in different ways.

"I want to go hunting. Can Chief Wenwo tell me the details of Tianli's preservation and what I need to pay attention to?" Lin Shan said suddenly.

The reason why he had this idea was that he wanted to try the method of making a law weapon mentioned by Mamazaha.

Regardless of whether it is the indescribable or the disordered, the only things that can be mobilized are rules.

Things like laws can only be touched by immortals at least.

If he can make a weapon of law, he may be able to use it to reduce dimensionality when facing enemies in the future.

Now that we’re on the border and we know how to make it, why not give it a try?

This might even be a bigger promotion than being promoted to a Discordant.

"You... want to go hunting?" Lin Shan's words frightened Wen Wo.

"No, no, no." Wenwo shook his head repeatedly.

"You have only ascended to the first level of heaven, and you can only hunt the lowest beasts. There are many second-level beasts outside the village. Although there are not many, if you encounter them, I am afraid that you will not be able to even escape. Our clan Every hunt is done in groups of at least three, and there are casualties every time. There is no difference between going out and dying."

"Moreover, the cold winter is approaching, which is the period when the beasts are most ferocious. With your strength, you may not even be able to defeat the first-order beasts in this period."

"No, no, the border is on the shore, and the dangers outside are beyond your imagination."

Wenwo kept shaking his head and waving his hands.

But he looked up at Lin Shan's firm eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate a little, and asked in a low voice, "You...really want to go?"

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded, "Don't worry, I still have some means. If you can't defeat him, you will definitely be able to escape."

Wen Wo was still worried, "You are kind to our clan, how could I let you die outside?"

Lin Shan was a little helpless, it was the first time he encountered this situation.

Seeing Wen Wo still struggling there, Lin Shan said slowly, "I'll be back later."

After saying that, Lin Shan turned around and wanted to leave, but Wen Wo suddenly stopped him, "Wait!"

Lin Shan looked back at him. Wen Wo had a complicated look on his face, and there was a little bit of humanity that Lin Shan could see on his face.

After a moment of silence, Wenwo finally said, "I'll find an experienced tribesman to accompany you."

"You come with me."

Without waiting for Lin Shan to respond, he turned around and walked quickly towards the depths of the village.

Walking steadily to a low thatched hut, he stopped, reached out and knocked on the door.

There was a rhythmic thumping sound from inside the door, a rumbling sound, like the sound of metal colliding.

Then, there was a dull loud noise in the room.

Hearing the sound, Wen Wo opened the door directly.

There are various metal props and forging tools placed in the room, giant prey specimens of different shapes are hung on the walls, and there is a heavy smell of rust in the air.

In the center, a tall Wendituo tribesman was waving his claws with all his strength, grabbing hard at a metal doll.

The puppet was caught with dense traces, and countless sparks were constantly fired.

Every time it is grasped, there will be a deafening squeaking sound.

The Windito man's whole body was tense and his eyes were focused. He grabbed one after another, immersed in a unique rhythm.

"Wendiour." Wenwo walked to the door of the house and shouted.

The tribesman suddenly stopped attacking, took a breath, looked back at Wen Wo, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some doubts in his eyes, "Clan leader? Is something wrong?"

Wen Wo said slowly with a hint of seriousness, "Wendi Wu'er, this is Mumushan. He brought back Canglan resources for our clan. Now, he plans to go hunting for beasts outside. You can take him with you. , remember to protect him.”

Hearing this, Windiour's eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked for a few seconds. Then his face showed unconcealable excitement and joy, "Really? Patriarch, did you allow me to go out?"

"Yes." Wen Wo nodded, "Your mission is to protect Mumushan and teach him some knowledge about hunting beasts."

"If...if the hunting is really successful, remember to bring the meat back. What Mumushan needs is heavenly justice." Wen Wo reminded.

"Understood! Patriarch, don't worry, I will definitely bring back meat." Windiur looked extremely excited.

"Meat... I have a lot of meat here." As he said that, Lin Shan took out all the dragon meat and monster meat that he had collected before, almost filling the house and streets.

Wen Wo was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and took it back, "These are the meat on your shore. They cannot maintain the vitality of my people. Our meat must be tainted by the laws of nature."
