The fog is thick.
The wilderness is dead and silent, with only a pale road between heaven and earth, and a lone figure holding a steel rod on the side of the road.
Other than that, there is nothing.
Cold!
This was Bai Ming's only feeling after being left on the side of the road by bus No. 444.
Theoretically, even if the temperature is close to absolute zero, according to Stefan-Boltzmann's law, the heat dissipation of the human body per hour is only equivalent to the heat dissipation of an elite marathon runner for one hour.
In other words, if marathon-level energy supply can be maintained, humans can even survive in extreme cold temperatures close to absolute zero in a non-vacuum aerobic environment.
And obviously the external environment does not have absolute zero.
At most, it is about zero degrees, and for Bai Ming, who possesses [Toughness of Flesh and Blood], this low temperature should not be worth mentioning.
But the coldness of the underworld is different.
It does not corrode flesh and blood, but pierces the soul and freezes spirit and consciousness.
When the trembling of the soul spread to reality, Bai Ming's body was already stiff.
What's even more fatal is that there is a vague call calling him deep in the thick fog of Bai Ming.
Even with the blessing of [Rebel]'s will, this call still affected him.
Let him unconsciously try to stay away from the road and walk towards the thick fog.
However, the deeper I try to get into the thick fog, the more serious the coldness in my soul becomes.
Damn it, you bastard [Ink Stained in Dust]!
How dare you cheat on me!
Bai Ming is not a gullible person.
· Along the way, [Ink Ran Dust] did a lot of work and even broke the rules many times.
The further back, the more dangerous the platform becomes. From a profit perspective, turning your back now will do no harm to [Ink Ran Dust].
If you want to backstab, you should wait until the end!
Otherwise, how can he guarantee that he will pass the level with a high rating?
【One Knife Conquers Mountains and Rivers】and 【Marshmallow and Cat】 have abolished the exploration rules, so even if they are controlled by force, they will not be able to help.
What does [Ink Stained in Dust] mean?
Bai Ming couldn't figure it out.
Just like ten days and ten nights, I still can’t figure out why India went crazy and wanted to attack.
But it cannot continue like this.
Companion?
"Come out! Bai Xiaozhi! The decision is yours!"
A ray of light flashed, and the girl's soul emerged from his body, and in an instant it solidified and landed on the ground.
Bai Xiaozhi panicked and supported the frozen Bai Ming, her voice trembling: "Bai, Bai Ming! What's wrong with you?"
And with her appearance, the bewitching call in the depths of the wilderness gradually faded away.
What is even more reassuring is that the bone-gnawing chill in the soul has actually receded like the tide.
That's it...
A hint of understanding flashed in Bai Ming's eyes.
The so-called "companion" does not necessarily have to be a living person.
So that dog is [Ink Ran Dust]’s pet?
He stretched his muscles, jumped on the spot, warmed up, and then waved his hand: "It's okay, I feel better with you by my side."
Seeing that Bai Ming was fine, Bai Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Me, me too."
But she immediately raised her voice and looked around pretending to be calm: "By the way, what is this place? I feel very comfortable here."
Bai Ming thoughtfully said: "This is the underworld. I guess you have a home field advantage here as a spirit body. Were you unable to sense the outside world at all before?"
Bai Xiaozhi shook her head gently: "No."
As she narrated, Bai Ming understood that Bai Xiaozhi had fallen into a deep sleep since he was teleported into the copy.
Only when he takes the initiative to wake her up can she regain her perception of the outside world.
Bai Ming analyzed: "This is the protection mechanism of the dungeon for you. If you stay awake, you will probably be included in the rule system."
"You are probably immune to the rules when you are sleeping in the [backpack]. Now try to see if you can return to the [backpack] voluntarily?"
Bai Xiaozhi suddenly lowered his head and bumped into Bai Ming's chest.
Bai Ming said in pain: "What are you doing!"
Bai Xiaozhi raised her head in Bai Ming's arms, with a serious look on her face: "I'm trying to see if I can return to the [backpack]."
Bai Ming rubbed his sore chest, dumbfounded: "You can't even become virtual in the underworld. You directly have a physical body. It seems that you can't get in. The system really does not allow this kind of buggy behavior."
It seems now that even an earth-bound spirit like Bai Xiaozhi must abide by the general rules for summons recorded in the [Player Forum].
"Bai Ming..." Bai Xiaozhi suddenly grabbed his sleeve nervously, "You, you won't stop calling me in the future, right?"
Bai Ming was startled: "Why do you think so?"
Bai Xiaozhi lowered her head: "Because...Bai Ming, you have always said that you will not let me come into contact with danger. What's more, I can't be virtual now, and can only exist in a physical form."
Bai Ming reached out and rubbed her hair, and laughed: "If I can't survive, do you think you can still be safe?"
"I am not so arrogant when I can use you. Fu, you have to make good use of it. "
Bai Xiaozhi blinked: "Oh."
After a while, she said: "Bai Ming, what should I do next?"
Bai Ming thought for a while: "Since it is the underworld, look around to see if there is any Yin Qi or other power that can be absorbed, maybe it can become stronger."
Bai Xiaozhi closed her eyes and felt for a moment: "Yes, there is, but it's very slow. If I can stay for a month, I will probably be 10% better than now."
Bai Ming said decisively: "Forget it, don't practice. Let's wait here for the 444 bus, but we must remember that we must always look after each other. Avoid being affected by the rules. "
"And I always feel that there is more than just summons and cold here. Be careful of the ghosts waiting for the bus here like us."
Bai Ming thought he would be trapped in an army of ghosts after getting off the car, but there was no one except him.
Think carefully, if ghosts come here to take the bus, then their appearance may mean the arrival of the bus.
And usually there are probably no ghosts waiting here.
Bai Xiaozhi nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Bai Ming took out the mechanical clock from his backpack to measure time. While paying attention to Bai Xiaozhi's condition, he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Twenty minutes later, slight footsteps were finally heard in the thick fog.
Bai Ming naturally would not wait for the enemy to approach.
In this open area, he had already changed into a two-meter long [long stick type 1].
One inch is long and one inch is strong. [Long Stick One Type] Two meters long is of course the strongest among the strongest.
————!
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the fog.
Bai Ming narrowed his eyes. The opponent's strength was actually stronger than he expected.
The strength of more than one Teacher Wang.
The mist is like a thick curtain, completely blocking the view.
But with the help of keen perception and the blessing of [the cowards].
He can still avoid every attack of the opponent accurately.
Then the long stick came out of the sea like an angry dragon, tearing apart the thick fog, and smashed it down hard with a sound of breaking through the air!
Bang——!
The other party fell to the ground in response.
Just when Bai Ming wanted to take advantage of the victory and kill him with a stick, the opponent shouted hastily: "Stop! Are you also a player living here?"
