1579 Gray Tribe 1

The vast wilderness still looks extremely silent under the cold winter sunshine.

After transforming into the desert, the one-eyed sandman Saliman's speed greatly reduced the time everyone needed to spend, so everyone finally arrived at the area where the Gray Tribe was likely to appear two days in advance.

Before, it was an environment of desolate grass and frozen streams, but after Saliman, the one-eyed sand man, crossed two desolate mountains, the landscape turned into frozen soil.

The seemingly gray and vast land covered with hoarfrost made the vegetation even more difficult to see. What surprised Raymond was that after entering this tundra zone, he could no longer detect the existence of small creatures.

Even insects and fungi that should be common underground seem to be in hibernation and are extremely difficult to find.

The one-eyed sandman Saliman, who was freed from desertification at the request of Senmario, was only curious about such an environment. Although the water energy in the tundra zone is also rich, the thick earth energy is even more intense here. It is so strong that even the earthy smell in the environment can be stained on clothes and last for a long time.

However, although everyone landed, they did not walk on foot under Senmario's request.

He had entered the Far West many times, so Senmario took the lead and was responsible for leading the way and conducting exploration.

As long as they are required to completely restrain their aura, everyone can only observe the environment with the naked eye. Not to mention the inefficiency, they have to camp and rest at night. It makes the trip extremely boring and boring.

On the first night after entering the tundra, after sitting in front of the campfire and enjoying the special food prepared by the one-eyed sand man Saliman, Senmario actually sighed. "The last time I tried to speed up, I ended up confronting the Gray Tribe several times. As a result, I was not sure when I was cursed by them after I returned. I was decadent and depressed for a long time..."

"I heard you say before that the Gray Tribe are creatures formed by the gathering of certain emotions. They can be as small as dust or as huge as mountains. So how do these creatures affect you?"

"The first encounter was when I was flying fast in the air. A sudden cloud of sand made me realize something was wrong and landed. After that, I learned that the Gray Clan was not allowed to occupy the sky in their territory...

And the second encounter. It was when I was about to arrive in the Abyss. The huge mountains that collapsed in vain turned out to be a gathering point for them. Since their number could not be identified, I didn't even understand what they were at first..."

Having said this, Senmario frowned and thought for a moment before continuing. "Later, because of the rejection of the Lord of the Abyss, I understood some characteristics of the Gray Clan. I just changed the direction and wanted to return, but I fell into a weird sandstorm again. After I got out of it, I realized that it was caused by the Gray Clan. The quasi-natural phenomena formed..."

Raymond couldn't help but wonder when he heard this. "Natural-like phenomenon? What do you mean?"

"There was almost no difference between that sandstorm and a naturally occurring sandstorm. It was only after I escaped that I discovered that the main body of that sandstorm were actually Gray Tribes as light as dust. Their huge number was simply unimaginable!"

The deep moonless darkness made Senmario's expression even more gloomy as it was illuminated by the bonfire. After a long silence, he continued. "Leimeng, if you notice that your mood suddenly becomes a little depressed, then you have been affected by the Gray Clan. Although their effect is minimal, they will have a considerable impact on the construction of spells and the judgment of response. The impact is huge, so don’t be careless before crossing the tundra..."

Senmario, who seemed to be frightened by the previous encounter, once again elaborated on the characteristics and performance of the Gray Tribe in detail, his expression became more and more worried. Finally, after finishing, he stared blankly into the dark distance. He had maintained this posture all night, which made Raymond, who woke up from a night of meditation, extremely confused.

The strength of the Rose Poison Scorpion Mario should have reached the peak of the seventh level. Regardless of his race or the long years he has spent, Raymond felt that he should not have become like this because of these 'greys'.

So soon after setting out on the road the next day, he found an opportunity to send a message to Clement the ringed seal and asked about the reason.

During the previous journey, Clement, who could only talk endlessly when discussing his research experience and insights, kept secrets about Raymond's inquiries and did not give him any information that could be analyzed.

But three days after entering the tundra, Clement, the ringed seal, became nervous and serious.

Although the scars at the corners of his mouth kept his expression smiling, Raymond could see fear in his eyes, and a fear similar to that of Senmario.

Raymond, who had not been too worried before, couldn't help but feel a little scared.

As everyone continued to deepen, the gradual changes in the tundra landform also made the atmosphere of the entire team become solemn.

But Saliman, the one-eyed sand man who had always been in a state of excitement and curiosity, was the first to realize that something was wrong with the situation on the sixth day when the team entered the tundra zone.

It seemed that they had entered a large-scale permanently frozen lake. The rich water energy in the environment made the one-eyed sandman Saliman who was walking on the ice very dissatisfied. However, when everyone came to a place covered by ice and snow. After the area, the one-eyed sand man Saliman stopped moving forward and issued a warning in vain. "Sir! There seems to be something gathering under the ice on both sides!"

After entering the tundra zone, everyone stopped making noises, so after receiving Saliman's warning, Raymond released his senses and began to explore under the ice beside him.

Beneath the hundred-meter-thick ice layer is extremely cold lake water, which is still mixed with many ice crystal particles, which greatly hinders perception, and can barely allow Raymond to detect a range of several hundred meters.

There are no aquatic plants, and no living creatures can be detected. However, under Raymond's sensory exploration, the ice water on both sides of the team in the ice lake is mixed with many plankton-like particles!

These dust-like particles were extremely small, but because of their huge number, when the area they occupied was revealed, Raymond also understood that something was wrong.

After telling Senmario about the situation detected by his senses, Senmario, who looked nervous, seemed to be relieved. "It seems that the Gray Tribe has noticed it. Please hurry up and leave this area..."

Senmario, who increased his speed as he spoke, asked Raymond not to release his senses for further exploration, and started walking quickly with the ringed seal Clement.

The speed of several hourglasses in a row allowed everyone to escape from the icy lake before nightfall. However, Senmario did not immediately ask to set up camp for rest. Instead, he continued to move forward at high speed for one hourglass, then he chose We found a sheltered spot and stopped.

It's just that the one-eyed sand man Shaliman wanted to raise a bonfire as usual, but he met with his opposition.

"Don't set up camp! Don't light a fire! Don't release your senses for exploration! Leave this place as soon as daybreak!"

The low-pitched command with some special meaning made Saliman, the one-eyed sandman, look at Raymond in confusion.

Raymond, who always felt that there was a problem somewhere along the way, finally couldn't help but ask questions. "Senmario, everything you told about the Gray Tribe before is completely inconsistent with your current reaction! Although the Gray Tribe is weird and invincible, it shouldn't be such a big threat to you. ! What is it that makes you so afraid of the Gray Clan? "

Senmario, who was being questioned, was quite annoyed and glared at Raymond, who seemed to be about to explode.

But the ringed seal Clement, who was leaning on a rock, closed his eyes and spoke in vain. "Lord Raymond, please don't ask any more... Not knowing anything is sometimes happier than knowing the truth..." (To be continued ~^~)
