Above the gray fog

Everyone continued to move forward.

More than two hours passed, and the surrounding environment did not change at all. Not only did they not find any water source, but they also did not see any other creatures.

A young girl who looked only about 20 years old next to Lin Shan looked at Lin Shan desperately and asked: "Brother Lin, do you think we can still return to Earth alive?"

Lin Shan rolled her eyes. She had asked this question countless times along the way: "Xiao An, forget about returning to Earth. It's good enough to survive."

"Old Lin is right. According to my many years of online writing experience, the possibility of returning is not great." A young man on the side interrupted.

"Wu Wang, shut up. This is reality, not fiction!" Xiao An said angrily.

Wu Wang looked at Xiao An and replied sarcastically: "Ah, yes, yes, this is reality, not fiction. You didn't travel through time. You're still at home."

"..."

Lin Shan looked at the two people bickering happily. He met them on the way. Because they were of similar age and had common topics, they formed a temporary team.

Compared to the quarrel between the two, Lin Shan was always calm. He was sure that this was not the Earth. Could there be anything worse than this? Whatever happened next, it would be nothing more than this.

"There is the sound of flowing water!" Someone suddenly shouted.

"It is really the sound of water." Lin Shan listened carefully, and the sound of rushing water came into his ears. It seemed that there was a river with a fast current nearby.

Suddenly, many people showed excitement.

"We are saved!"

"We can definitely escape!"

"As long as we find more food, this is the second Earth!"

The pessimistic mood decreased, and the joyful mood increased. Everyone saw the hope of survival.

At this moment, the sky was a little gray, and there was a hazy gray fog floating in the sky, so that no stars could be seen.

"Ah..." A woman suddenly screamed, and it was heard very far in the empty woods.

"What's wrong?" Everyone changed color and asked hurriedly, and at the same time, they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Bones, they are human bones!" The woman turned pale, her body trembled constantly, and she retreated tremblingly.

Everyone looked in the direction the woman pointed. There were two skeletons hanging on a towering tree in front of them. They were swaying in the wind and looked particularly creepy.

Lin Shan and several brave men walked forward and observed carefully. Although it was horrifying to see human bones here, it was also a good thing. At least it proved that someone had been here before.

"The skeletons are of a man and a woman. There are many rough cracks on them. They are almost weathered. The environment of the other world is very different from that of the earth. It is impossible to judge the age." Someone frowned and said.

Someone else joked, "If there are extraordinary elements in this world, maybe these two people just died a few minutes ago, and now their bones are weathered."

Hiss, everyone took a breath of cold air. This kind of thing must be a joke on Earth, but now such an outrageous thing as time travel has happened, what else is impossible.

For a while, some people in the crowd began to become suspicious and looked around, and even Lin Shan felt a chill all over his body.

Seeing the fear spreading, Lin Shan quickly comforted them: "The presence of human skeletons means that someone has been here before. It seems that we are not the only ones. There may be human settlements in this world."

After hearing what Lin Shan said, everyone seemed to see hope again and temporarily dispelled the fear in their hearts.

After walking forward for another half an hour, everyone was exhausted, and mental fatigue and thirst tortured everyone.

From the time they came to now, everyone has walked for nearly 5 hours, and they haven't even walked out of this forest.

"Could it be that we have encountered a ghost wall!" someone muttered.

"Nonsense, although the environment has not changed much, don't you see that the flowers on the ground are growing more and more sparse?"

"Eh... really, I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't told me."

"Keep going, let's get out of this forest first, if we are really starving to death, we can eat all the bark and leaves around, so don't be picky at this time."

"We can make do with food, but the lack of water is the most troublesome thing, and I don't know if there is dew in this world..."

Lin Shan observed the people around him, and it was obvious that these people had a strong psychological endurance, and no one had shown extreme behavior so far.

"There is a river!" Someone in the front suddenly shouted, and everyone looked forward.

Two hundred meters away, a hundred-meter-wide river was lying in the middle of the forest like a silver dragon. It was unclear what was going on, but the sound of the rushing water could tell that the water flow in this river was very fast.

The last hundred meters of the journey, everyone ran towards the river at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint.

Everyone looked at the river in front of them with constant surprise.

"Ah, the water is so clear."

"Look, there are fish, but they look a little weird."

Xiao An looked at the running water in front of him and was a little worried: "Is it poisonous, or has other hazards..."

"Even if it is, can you not drink it?" Lin Shan replied.

Xiao An replied helplessly: "No, I would rather die of poison or thirst than die of poison."

"Damn, damn, damn, can you say something good? What if this water is not only harmless but also beneficial to drink? For example, it may be spiritual water or something, and drinking it will strengthen your body..." Wu Wang interrupted.

"Haha." Xiao An sneered and mocked: "Do you believe it yourself?"

While the three were talking, someone had already crouched by the river and drank it fiercely, but most people were watching.

Ten minutes later.

Seeing that nothing happened to those who drank the river water, more people couldn't stand their thirst and began to drink water, but only for a brief taste.

Lin Shan also took a sip. The river water was unusually cold, as if it had been chilled in a refrigerator.

"ah--!"

A miserable cry came, followed by equally miserable screams one after another.

Lin Shan watched helplessly as a young man not far away was ignited by a purple flame. In an instant, the raging flames engulfed his whole body. His skin was instantly covered with a layer of large blood blisters, and was immediately burned again. Damn, he fell to the ground twisting and struggling in pain.

It was too late to save him. His screams as he was burned by purple flames resounded throughout the forest, making everyone shudder. It looked like he would not die for a while.

There are more than ten people like him who are spontaneously burning!

Purple flame! Purple!

Lin Shan remembered it, and the man in front of him was the young man who asked him to fold flowers before! He quickly shouted: "Throw away the purple soul flower that I broke earlier!"

It was too late, the speed of the flames was so fast that it didn't even take a blink of an eye. Anyone with the Purple Soul Flower on their body all spontaneously combusted at the same moment, falling to the ground rolling and wailing, and some people jumped directly into the river. Here, this kind of flame can actually burn in water!

This scene of a living person being burned by fire was so cruel that Xiao An didn't dare to look at it anymore. She turned her head away and closed her eyes, covering her ears and opening her mouth. She didn't know whether she wanted to cry or shout.

At this moment, the mutation occurred, and the person who was spontaneously burning suddenly jumped on the normal person beside him. As long as the sparks stuck to him, the people beside him immediately started to burn.

The fire gradually expanded, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were ignited!

The remaining people screamed in fear and ran into the forest to distance themselves from the spontaneously burning person.

Lin Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he ran. His heartbeat was extremely fast. He had just missed death. The young man pounced on him immediately, but luckily he dodged.

At this time, the people in the field were divided into two, the spontaneous combustion people and the normal people, separated by a hundred meters.
