Chapter 113 Chapter 113
Thick fog filled the entire forest, like a huge veil, or like flowing slurry, so thick, surging, rolling, and engulfing everything in the forest.
Mi Li held Awok Cao's hand and felt around for the way, bumping into a stone or a tree trunk from time to time.
"Are we going in circles?" Tuckers asked after seeing the same stone for the fifth time.
Awok Cao at the front stopped in his tracks. The thick fog obscured their sight and visibility became lower and lower. If they were not holding hands, they would have lost a child if they turned their heads.
"Everyone, sit down and take a rest first!" Awok Cao's low and hoarse voice came out.
After hearing this, several people stopped walking. They had been circling here for so long and were exhausted.
Mi Li was the first to slump down on the stone, in a lazy posture. Who would have thought that he could get lost in the competition? The contestant was really talented.
"Is everyone familiar with this place?" Awok Cao sat down and asked.
The scene was exactly the same as where they had just rested, except for the thick fog that appeared inexplicably.
Mi Li patted the stone under him and said,
"I've seen this big rock five times. I really didn't expect it. Are we taking a detour?"
Ulysses saw that everyone had fallen silent, and said in a daze,
"How about I fly up and see where we are?"
Just as he was about to transform, Awok Cao reached out his hand, stopped him, and said,
"You don't have to go up. This thick fog should have no end in sight. Just fly up and you can throw it when you come back. We should stick together now!"
The thick fog around them was like a huge shadow enveloping them. Mi Li didn't feel like they were being targeted by danger, but if they were trapped in the woods forever, they would be eliminated sooner or later.
"Think about what we saw when we first entered the forest?" Li Luo suddenly asked.
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
After entering the forest from the valley, they had been walking slowly the whole time. The thick trees they saw were all exactly the same. Even the thick fallen leaves on the ground and the occasional weeds that popped up, Mi Li thought about it carefully but could not find any clues.
Could it be that they had strayed into a formation? Just like in the immortal cultivation novels, the arrangement and combination of each tree was different, thus forming a huge maze. How could the thick fog be explained?
Mi Li shook her head. This was the interstellar age, and cultivating immortals was not popular.
Looking up, several people sat on the ground around Mi Li, and they were all confused as to how they got in here.
Seeing that no one was talking, Mi Li glanced at the positioning recorder and saw that it was almost night.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, darkness came like a tide, and Awok Cao, who had originally planned to continue walking around, had to suspend his plan.
"I guess we can't get out today! It's even harder to get out when it's so dark. Let's rest here today!" Awok Cao glanced at the crowd, only a few dark shadows said.
Speaking of rest, Mi Li immediately thought of her compressed constant temperature tent. This thing is really thoughtful.
They took out a compressed constant temperature tent from the mobile warehouse, chose a location on the spot, and put it in front of them.
After entering the tent, several people sat on the ground and each took out a wasabi fruit to eat.
There was no way out. The day just passed without any gain and they were still trapped in the foggy forest. It seemed that completing the task early in the morning was just a sweet treat given by the contest organizer, and now it was slapping them hard in the face.
Mi Li took a look at the positioning recorder and thought carefully about what they had encountered!
"It's really strange. This fog came out of nowhere!" Mi Li patted her clothes and said.
"Did we miss some key information?" Ulysses asked again.
Mi Li once again carefully recalled the scene before they encountered the thick fog.
The last rest time is under this tree. Could it be that the tree can move?
"Could it be possible that the tree can move?" Mi Li blurted out as he thought of it.
Several pairs of eyes looked over, making Mi Li feel a little uncomfortable.
Mi Li touched her hair back and continued,
"After we entered the forest, we encountered the same trees. What if those trees moved? We wouldn't be able to see any clues, right?"
"Xiao Pao, you have a good little brain, this hypothesis is very good!" Tuckers also made some assumptions based on Mi Li's thoughts, and actually felt that what the little cub said made some sense.
"If that's the case, why don't we try cutting down trees?" Ulysses scratched the back of his head.
"But we don't have any tools!" Mi Li spread his hands, there was really nothing he could do!
Tucker suddenly stepped forward and licked his lips.
"Maybe I can try using my claws first and cut one to see if it really moves!" Turks said confidently.
Among the people of their tribe, their claws are the sharpest, so chopping down a tree should be no problem.
"Everyone's opinions are good. It's night now and it will be more dangerous to go out. Let's take a rest first and try again tomorrow!" Awok Cao said to the few people.
Mi Li glanced at the positioning recorder in her hand. It was only eight o'clock in the evening. How could she sleep at this time?
"Captain, we still have some time, why don't we try roasting some mushrooms to eat on the road?" Mi Li took out a few mushrooms and showed them to everyone.
She had indeed picked up a lot of Maojun mushrooms. If they had a fire, they wouldn't have to worry about tomorrow's food so late at night, and they could also save some Washa fruit to replenish their health bars. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible, but it might be difficult to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together.
"Roast?" Awok Cao asked with some confusion.
There are no kitchen utensils or anything kitchen-related here, how can we bake?
"Just roast it over a fire! Once it's cooked, we can share it with each other as a snack!"
The mushrooms picked up in the virtual competition are clean and of the same size. Although they may taste bland when roasted, it is okay to replenish hunger! Otherwise, if they were trapped in the woods for ten days or eight days, they would definitely starve to death.
"Xiao Pao, Xiao Pao, do you have a talent for cooking?" Ulysses asked immediately when he heard Mi Li talk about roasting mushrooms.
Mi Li thought about it. In the past, Mao Wang, Paopao, and the eldest brother also said that they had a talent for cooking. Isn't it enough for her to cook a meal that is edible? I guess so!
He stroked his chin and said,
"I think so! The food they cook is not bad!"
Mao Wang, who is still cleaning up the Star Beasts that haven't appeared in dozens of chapters, said: "Baby, did you check your conscience when you said this? It's obviously super delicious!"
"Wow! Xiaopao, you really can do it? Aren't you only four and a half years old?" Tuckers said with some envy.
He has a talent for cooking at such a young age. Isn’t it said that people on the Yuyu planet are poor cooks?
