The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 440 Moss
Ning Yuan felt that someone touched his shoulder, so he turned his head to look at Yang Yang and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Yang Yang stared at Ning Yuan who was able to find his position in the darkness, and was silent for a while.Then he asked him, "Can you see me?"

Hearing his words, Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I can see it, what's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's strange? It's so dark here, and there's no light, but the two of us can see each other..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Dancing in the Rain walking ahead.He turned his head, looked at the two people standing there, and said, "What are you still doing? Follow up quickly."

Hearing his words, Ning Yuan left a sentence: "Go and ask Yuan Mu." Then he left without looking back.

Being teased by him like this, Yang Yang was a little at a loss.At this moment, Yuan Mu, who was walking behind him, followed from behind.Seeing Yang Yang staying where he was, he asked, "What's the matter? What were you two talking about just now? What's the matter?"

So Yang Yang told Yuan Mu about the strange thing he discovered about being able to see things in the dark.

Because before coming, Yuan Mu and the others kept emphasizing that this place is very dangerous.Over time, Yang Yang had this idea in his mind: This place is very dangerous!Moreover, they have never been here before, so it is not an exaggeration to be careful.

But something strange happened.Such an unusual event was nothing to Yuan Mu and the others.After all, they are monsters, and it is not surprising that they can see things. They may be used to it.

But Ning Yuan is not in this range.Like himself, he is a mortal through and through.Even if he started to practice recently and his cultivation base has improved, it can't change this.

So what he was very curious about was why Ning Yuan was so calm about this matter.

After seeing Ning Yuan's reaction, he even had an illusion that he was the most abnormal one among this group of people.You see, Gun Gun didn't issue any warning, and Ning Yuan walked ahead as always.So speaking of it, I might be surprised, right?
Thinking of this, he turned his head away, waiting for Yuan Mu's answer.

After hearing his words, Yuan Mu was silent for a while, and then said: "Think about it carefully, can you 'see' it now, or can you feel it?"

Yang Yang was a little surprised by what he said.After a long time, he realized it and asked, "Is there any difference between these?"

"The difference between these is that if you can 'see', it proves that you are no longer a mortal. But we know very well that you are not a monster. So I think the reason why you can see very clearly now "When I arrived at Ningyuan and Lu, I felt it."

A little dizzy by his words, Yang Yang turned his head while walking forward and asked, "What's going on? The more you talk, the more dizzy I become."

"You know that earth veins are the foundation of all living things, right?" Yuan Mu thought for a while, and planned to use another, easy-to-understand way to tell him what happened.He said: "Close your eyes now. Try again and see if you can clearly understand what kind of road you are walking under your feet."

Hearing this, Yang Yang immediately followed suit.

And what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.After he closed his eyes, he found that he could still see the road ahead, and he could even see Rolling's wagging tail as he walked ahead.

This made him feel very surprised, opened his eyes suddenly, and asked, "What's going on?"

After hearing his words, Yuan Mu showed a smile and said: "It seems that you have also discovered it. Everything we "see" now is what the earth veins allow us to perceive, not through the eyes. You I've been a mortal for too long, that's why I rely on my eyes so much."

Pointing to his eyes, he said, "But you know, all our feelings can be deceived."

His words reminded Yang Yang of a magic show he had seen before.At that time, the magician who performed on the stage once said that all human senses can be deceived.

Yang Yang always kept this sentence in mind, but he didn't understand what was going on in the so-called deception.He always thought that it was only applicable to magicians, but he didn't think that the deception of the senses can also be applied in all aspects.

At this moment, he found that the road ahead had turned a bend, forming a narrow intersection.And at the other end of the intersection, something is emitting a faint light.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one who discovered this matter, Wu Yi and Dancing in the Rain were also aware of it.So the whole team speeded up, and when Yang Yang reached the intersection, he realized that those glowing things were some moss attached to the sides and top of the tunnel.

It is not quite right to say it is moss.Those unknown ferns were attached to the top of the rabbit hole, emitting a faint blue light.Just like fluorescent jellyfish swimming in the dark sea.Such a quiet and beautiful light reminded Yang Yang of the starlight in the sky.

"It turns out that there is such a beautiful scene underground!" Yang Yang said with a sigh.

Hearing his words, Maji turned his head and said, "Then I suggest you stay away from those beautiful things."

After Yang Yang heard this sentence, before he could react, Ning Yuan on the side spoke.He said: "Don't you know? In nature, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."

His words reminded Yang Yang that he realized that the place he was in was very strange.Moreover, Yuan Mu has repeatedly emphasized before coming that this place is very dangerous.No matter how beautiful something is, it's better to stay away from it.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the plants he didn't recognize.I just saw them quietly covering the entire tunnel that I could see.He got goosebumps at the thought of those beautiful ferns that were actually fraught with danger.

At this time, Ning Yuan spoke again, and he said: "We have been walking for two hours, and we may continue to walk, let's find a place to rest."

His words made Yang Yang break out in a cold sweat.Because in his impression, they did not go so far.From entering the tunnel to coming here, according to Yang Yang's control of time, he thinks they walked for half an hour at most.

But it was learned from Ning Yuan that they had actually been walking for two hours.Where did the remaining hour and a half go?Thinking so, he walked forward without saying a word, and glanced at Ning Yuan's watch.After discovering that he had indeed walked for two hours, he expressed his doubts.

He said: "How could it be two hours? I think we only walked for half an hour. Even if my concept of time is not right, it shouldn't be so far behind."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Mu said, "You were in a daze when you were walking, so you didn't feel it? I think we have indeed walked for such a long time."

After Yang Yang listened, he raised his head, looked at the people around him, and found that everyone had the same expression.He thought for a while and said, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Ning Yuan's watch? After all, what we 'see' now are actually felt. What if the earth veins mislead us and make us mistake the time?"

His words made Dancing in the Rain laugh: "What do you think the ley line is? A monster? Why does it deliberately mislead us to see the wrong time?"

Yang Yang didn't know how to answer this question.Seeing him opening his mouth wide, his face blank and speechless, Yuan Mu sighed.Relief for him: "Maybe your own feeling is wrong, because the few of us all feel that everyone has been gone for a long time."

After saying this, he added another sentence: "It's been so long that it's been two hours."

Yang Yang has always trusted Yuan Mu very much.In so many actions, he has always played the role of a wise man.In many cases, his decision-making will play a key role.Therefore, since he spoke, even if Yang Yang felt that the matter was not so simple, he still chose to remain silent.

First of all, of course, it was out of trust in Yuan Mu.Compared with the probability of Yuan Mu making mistakes, he believes that the probability of feeling wrong is greater.Secondly, he didn't even figure out what happened.It is very unwise to argue with teammates meaninglessly here.

So after much deliberation, he chose to remain silent.

After a while, he said: "Okay, maybe it's my problem, let's continue on our way."

Hearing his words, Maji turned his head and continued walking.While walking, he also told them: "Stay away from those mosses, we have never seen these things, it is better to be careful."

In fact, if he didn't say anything, Yang Yang would not take the initiative to touch these bryophytes.However, I don't know if it was because he was too careful, or because his senses were not very sensitive.When Yang Yang was walking around a corner, he suddenly slipped and fell out.

When he was in the air, in order to maintain his balance, he grabbed the moss with his hand.Just when he thought he was going to be unlucky, he found that nothing happened.

At this time, the two people walking in front of and behind him stopped, quickly came to him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you all right?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally fell down."

Yang Yang said so, and then wiped his hands on his clothes, covering up the fact that he just touched the moss.

He didn't know why he did this, but there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him: Don't say it!Don't tell it!
