Chapter 379: The Poison Island
The moment her feet touched the ground, a "squeak" sound came from the bottom of her feet. Because the effect was different from what she expected, Bai Lingshan looked down at her feet.
As a result, Bai Lingshan was stunned after seeing this.
The ground that was originally covered with dark blue grass disappeared and turned into extremely damp and sticky mud. The mixture of dark green and black in the mud gave her visual discomfort, as did the bubbles that popped out from it from time to time.
Following the line of sight, Bai Lingshan looked at all the places around where she could stand. As expected, this kind of mud was everywhere.
I took a look at the sky and there was nothing unusual, except that the orange sky looked a little weird.
Bai Lingshan sighed and could only move her feet that didn't want to move forward. But the moment she lifted her feet, the long threads of sticky liquid pulled out between the soles of her feet and the ground still made her feel disgusted.
……
Looking at Yu Hongye again at this time, Yu Hongye's back looks leisurely, and it seems that he doesn't care about the current situation at all.
Bai Lingshan sighed and ran over dissatisfied.
Yes, she did run over, otherwise the sticky feeling of the mud under her feet would drag her down for a while. However, she overlooked one thing, that is, the dirt splashed by the mud when her feet landed on the ground and stuck to her white high-top shoes. Of course, it was not just her. The moment she stopped Yu Hongye, Yu Hongye's shoes and clothes were also stuck with foreign objects.
From Yu Hongye’s facial expression, it can be seen that he is unhappy. It seems that no one likes the environment here.
"..."
"..."
When their eyes met, Bai Lingshan also realized her roughness and quickly put on a guilty smile. It was just that Yu Hongye hadn't thought of what to say to scold her, otherwise, their relationship would have been broken.
"This mud... is very difficult to wash off." After a moment of silence, Yu Hongye said this very "vigilantly", then he walked around Bai Lingshan and started walking again. However, compared to the cautiousness that only he knew how to use just now, after his lower body was covered in the creepy mud, he walked more easily.
Bai Lingshan stood there awkwardly for a moment, then followed him.
Ten minutes later, the two were still walking in the mud. Bai Lingshan, who had somewhat accepted the environment here, looked around and still showed strong doubts.
"Is there really a spell sign in a place like this? And do we have to go there?"
After a psychological struggle, Bai Lingshan still questioned him, only to hear Yu Hongye sigh, then stop and look at her face decisively.
Bai Lingshan's suspicious look really annoyed him: "What else? You still want one a day? Even if it's possible, I don't have that much time. How about going back now and you can come by yourself tomorrow?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Lingshan cried out in surprise.
Her stunned expression had already made her choice. Yu Hongye snorted, as if he had figured out the "manipulation" very well.
"Then let's go, and I'll tell you about the situation here."
"……Oh."
After that, Bai Lingshan became very obedient, and Yu Hongye continued on his way. Until a certain minute later, Yu Hongye suddenly spoke.
"This is somewhere in the ghost world. The environment in the ghost world is weird, and what we see now is normal."
Yu Hongye's tone was still very casual. He seemed to be very good at introducing things to others. Perhaps, this was because he had lived for a long time and had seen a lot.
Bai Lingshan nodded and looked at the place that was confirmed to be not a normal place.
Yu Hongye continued: "The Youlu Ridge where the 5394 train stops is the same as the station in your Shiluo world for the human world. The difference is that the Shiluo world can go to all parts of the human world, while Youlu Ridge can only enter a certain location designated by the ghost world."
"Oh."
"The ghost world is not small, it is divided into 1,600 districts. The first 600 districts are in the last three stations of Shiluo territory, and the last 1,000 are in Youlu Ridge, Youming Valley Forest, and Liushagang. Youlu Ridge has 400 districts." "Four hundred districts?" Bai Lingshan was shocked when she heard this, "Then how long will it take us to get there?"
Yu Hongye didn't react much to this question, but he looked ahead and moved his eyes slightly: "Did you notice the grass before getting off the car?"
Bai Lingshan hesitated and then hummed.
Yu Hongye continued, "It's similar to how the Shiluo Realm can lead to all parts of the human world. At the moment you stand at Xiayoululing, you can step on the ground of these four hundred areas at the same time. Because we are going to enter one of these areas, the rest will disappear."
"Is every district different?" Bai Lingshan interrupted.
Yu Hongye nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, you can think of them as parallel worlds, but the names, environments, and creatures that adapt to survival in different areas are all different."
"Oh, so that's it." Bai Lingshan seemed to understand, but she listened a little bit and then looked at the falling rain not far away.
The rain was not heavy, just a drizzle, making the dark green mud more moist.
?
Bai Lingshan was startled and looked at the rain over there again, then she realized something was wrong. Ten meters was really not far. After a while, they walked to the dividing line between rainy days and sunny days. The rain on the dividing line was like a curtain. Because there was no wind, not a drop of rain fell on the road outside the dividing line.
When she was young and went to other cities to play games, she had encountered situations where sunny days and rainy days merged, and she had also encountered situations where she was chased by rain that was suddenly blown by strong winds. Compared to that, this completely still boundary, touching it with her hands was like entering a whole new world.
So fake, yet so magical.
Thinking of this, Bai Lingshan unconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch the edge line, but was pulled back by Yu Hongye who was quick-handed and quick-eyed.
"Do you want to be poisoned?" Yu Hongye's voice came instantly.
Bai Lingshan was stunned by this question. She stood there for a long time without saying anything.
He also knew that being curious about new things was normal for everyone, but excessive curiosity could sometimes be fatal.
Seeing Bai Lingshan's bewildered look, Yu Hongye added: "The area we are in now is called Wandu Island, and this rain is the poison in the name of the island."
poison?
Bai Lingshan was frightened, and her hand that wanted to explore was retracted to her chest. Even if the word "poison" could not be encountered in reality, it would appear in the TV shows and novels we watch every day to let everyone know its harmfulness.
Fortunately, Yu Hongye stopped her in time.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
?
Suddenly she understood again. So, did Yu Hongye bring her to this edge line just to introduce to her that rain was the inspiration for the name of this area?
Bai Lingshan's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Yu Hongye: "Is the Talisman number in here?"
He was not surprised, as it seemed that he came here for this reason.
"..." Bai Lingshan was silent now. She had never thought that she would have to come to another world to experience the poisonous rain just to get a talisman number.
"How to get in?"
Yu Hongye just said "wait" and walked calmly to some small mushrooms.
The tiny mushrooms scattered along this border seem to have some special meaning.
Yu Hongye picked two at random, kept one for himself and gave one to her.
