Above the gray fog

"So, being weak is the original sin." Lin Shan said lightly.

"You guys chat, I'll go back if I have something else to do." Xia Xuan said, she came just to bring the cocoon to Huang Ying.

"I have something to do, so you can continue to bask in the sun." Huang Ying said with a smile, and then walked back holding the cocoon.

The two went about their own business, while Lin Shan continued to lean on the chair and bask in the sun. During this period, the 'heart light' in his hand kept changing shapes, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "If I could always be this relaxed, That’s it.”

After lunch, Lin Shan prepared the potions in the wooden house. There were a total of seven potions and fourteen small pottery bottles. There were still more than ten grams of the remaining fish ash, and there were still three grams of the horny powder that Asha dragged. More than ten grams.

Put away the remaining materials and pick up one of the small pottery bottles. The liquid in the bottle was crystal clear, like mercury, and it slowly swirled around in the bottle.

In the process of preparing the potion, Lin Shan discovered a phenomenon. As long as the proportions are correct, some unknown law will be triggered, causing the potion to undergo a qualitative change. One of the pottery bottles was weighed little by little without parchment paper. It is formed by adding ingredients inside.

This rule should also apply to other potions, which means that as long as there are more materials, the proportions can be slowly tried out.

Lin Shan wrapped these pottery bottles tightly with silk cloth and put them in his backpack.

When I walked out of the wooden house, I planned to continue basking in the sun leisurely, but when I saw the ten wooden houses neatly arranged in front of me, I suddenly had an idea.

He wants to build a wooden house for himself. There should be many new people here next time he comes back. This place is equivalent to the city center. What if the value of the land increases after we first acquire a piece of land?

The cat clan's house is separate from the human clan's, separated by a distance of two hundred meters. Except for learning each other's language and eating together, they can't see each other most of the time.

Lin Shan found a place with dense trees.

Looking at the big tree surrounded by people in front of him, he held the actinic ax in his hand. With only two axes, the whole tree collapsed. He cut down more than a dozen trees one after another and processed them all on the spot, cutting them into smooth wooden boards.

During this period, Jin Tianzong was asked to help. Under the ever-changing mood, in the evening, a medium-sized wooden house of 50 square meters was completed.

Moreover, the specifications of this wooden house are very modern, a bit like a villa, and it is more than an era ahead of the other wooden houses side by side.

Lin Shan looked at the small villa in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. He found that although Xinguang was mediocre in fighting and had no outstanding abilities, he was really good at work and could conjure up any tool.

The red moon was in the sky, and everyone gathered together to have dinner.

Zhang Zhonghua suddenly said loudly:

"Weiyi, the seven of us will go out with Lin Shan tomorrow. It may take a long time before we come back. While we are away, if the human race comes, please help us."

Wei Yi was startled for a moment, then his face showed joy but he quickly concealed it. He said politely: "It should be, my cat tribe and human tribe are already allies. Don't worry, as long as my cat tribe is here, the human tribe will not be harmed." harm."

"Thank you very much."

Zhang Zhonghua thanked him.

Lin Shan frowned and looked at everything in front of him. Although the joy was fleeting, he was still caught by Lin Shan.

"It seems that I will have to find a chance to come back then." Lin Shan thought to himself.

"What are you going to do?" Wei Yi asked.

Zhang Zhonghua looked hesitant, then Lin Shan said calmly: "Advanced to extraordinary."

He said this deliberately, so that even if the cat clan really had any intentions, they would at least be able to weigh the consequences of the next time the extraordinary people return.

"Uh." Wei Yi looked shocked.

But he still forced a smile and said: "Congratulations to everyone, you have found the path to transcendence so quickly."

"The Cat Clan has given so much help to my Human Clan. When our Human Clan becomes stronger, the Cat Clan will get the rewards we deserve." Lin Shan said softly.

His words had two meanings. He didn't believe that the cat people wouldn't understand the meaning.

I don’t know if Weiyi didn’t learn Chinese well, or if he was deliberately pretending not to understand.

He still smiled and said: "This is exactly the original intention of my cat clan. The world of gray fog is so huge. We are all ants in it. If we are drawn in a circle, we cannot get out of the circle. We are trapped in the so-called safe zone. , Only by joining a group to stay warm can we barely survive in this gray fog."

"Brother Weiyi means that the races in this gray fog world all stay together and develop together?" Lin Shan asked with interest.

"Exactly." Weiyi nodded and said, "Win-win cooperation is the essence of survival in this world."

Lin Shan remained silent. The parchment's answer to any question related to race was: "It's impossible to know because of the fate of the clan." Weiyi's words were unfounded and he would not believe it.

After dinner in the evening, everyone returned to their cabins to rest.

Lin Shan continued to sleep in Jin Tianzong's wooden house. Although his villa was large, it was just a shell with nothing inside.

The red moon and the sun alternate, and morning glow appears on the horizon.

The eight people were ready to go. Lin Shan led a dark horse out of the stable. He wanted to find the second sequence of potions when everyone was promoted. The journey was long, so riding a horse would be a good choice.

The seven people only brought some dry food. If they were quick, they might be able to arrive in one day.

The seven people are Zhang Zhonghua, Zhao Xiaoan, Wu Wang, Xia Xuan, Huang Ying, Si Zhennan, and Chao Yuxin.

At this moment, only Yan Ruxin, Jin Tianzong, and Luo He were left in the camp.

…

It only took two hours to reach the edge of the barrier. Lin Shan took the lead and encountered no danger along the way.

The red lantern was held in the air five meters high by Lin Shan's little hand transformed by his heart light, and it did not affect everyone.

In front of the barrier, Lin Shan showed a serious expression and said: "The gray fog world is ahead, which is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may lose your life..."

"Help me hold the horse, you walk behind me, follow me closely." Lin Shan walked to the front, took off the red lantern and held it in his hand.

"Okay." Everyone responded.

Stepping out of the barrier, the gray fog instantly enveloped everyone's vision, and the visible distance was no more than ten meters, including Lin Shan. The heart light could not dispel the gray fog, nor could it be condensed into the eyes to enhance vision.

However, holding a red lantern in your hand is different. You can ignore the gray fog within 400 meters. It is a magical tool for walking in the gray fog.

Everyone walked along the way. After walking for a few minutes, Zhao Xiaoan whispered: "It's so cold, will it..."

Everyone nodded, and they also felt a chill following them, and all their eyes looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan shook his head, raised the red lantern in his hand to indicate that it was caused by it, and said: "Keep going."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward according to the direction provided by Lin Shan. Lin Shan observed the markings on the parchment and adjusted the direction of advance.

For some reason, he was lucky all the way and did not encounter any danger.

"Are we not walking the same road?" Lin Shan muttered.

The last time he walked alone, he encountered several dangers along the way. Today, it felt a bit too smooth, and he did not even encounter a wild animal.
