In the gray sky, a group of black crows flew past the forest. Their unpleasant chirps made the surrounding fog even more distorted.

"Those are the people from Laisheng Company." Gu Jun spoke in a low voice, "I can recognize them. They are dressed like this in my memory."

In fact, those figures were blurred by the fog, and they didn't seem to be wearing long mandarins, but he could still recognize them.

Xue Ba and others were ready to fight. Except for Lou Xiaoning, who couldn't hold a gun, the firepower team's guns were aimed at the enemy figures in all directions. However, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the figures disappeared behind the giant trees, becoming invisible.

visible.

"Can't see..." Yang Henan gasped as he quickly set up his sniper rifle. The thermal imaging sight could not penetrate the gloomy giant tree.

Everyone was still panting, but the roar of the beast became more and more ferocious.

Gu Jun saw some of the heavy shadows of beasts gradually coming out of the fog. Now they could all see clearly that they were creatures that were unknown whether they were aliens or ferocious beasts. They had the body of a wolf, but each one had the appearance of a brown bear.

Its body shape and fur are like black thorns, and its exposed fangs and dripping fluid are even more chilling.

Before Xue Ba could shout any words of negotiation, suddenly, the surrounding wolves were rushing towards him, everywhere, in a steady stream.

"Fire team fire!" Xue Ba said immediately, his thick-hued face full of determination, "Others stay, don't waste ammunition."

Zhou Yi, Gao Mingpeng and others pulled the triggers of their rifles. There were two team members in each of the four directions, and they all opened fire. Gunfire was heard everywhere.

The bullet casings clattered onto the altar. This weapon that humans trust and rely on the most continued to emit fire, and the recoil rolled their muscles, making their already exhausted bodies so stretched that they were about to burst and fall apart into a pile of fragments.

.

Those ferocious beasts didn't know what fear was at all. Even if the ones in front were shot with blood and flesh splattered by bullets, the ones behind them were still charging towards them.

The dying howls and the foul smell of blood from the same kind only aroused the madness of the wolves. They rushed faster and more, like a storm tide.

"Ah..." Lou Xiaoning made an anxious voice.

Uncle Dan is responsible for keeping an eye on her. This kind of beast has rough skin and thick flesh. A single shot to the body cannot knock it down. A headshot is required.

But their speed is very fast, and their condition is poor. It is impossible to shoot a headshot with a gun. As the leader of the team's firepower, Lou Xiaoning's hit rate has long been ranked first. If she were still a normal person, at this time

I can only stand aside and watch, feeling very suffocated.

Lin Mo and other scientific research team members were even more unbelievable. From the giant tree in the distance to the altar, the corpses of beasts had fallen on the ground.

Aren't they afraid? This really goes against nature...

But what Gu Jun was thinking was, are they real?

Xue Ba also suspected this, and immediately asked his partner Zhou Yi to let a strange wolf enter the altar, and then kill it with a headshot. The two fired while walking forward and kicked the beast corpse on the altar. It did exist.

There, this is not an illusion.

However, the tide of alien wolves has not yet weakened, and nearly half of their ammunition has been removed. If this continues, they will soon run out of bullets.

"Get ready to break out!" Xue Ba loudly told everyone, and asked Gu Jun what he thought: "Which way should we go?"

"I don't know..." Gu Jun really had no idea, his mind was just a little turbulent.

Xue Ba relied on his own feelings and decided to break out in the opposite direction to the high-walled space. Lin Mo got on a stretcher and was carried away by Gu Jun and Zhang Huohuan.

At the moment, they were killing the alien wolves and walking outside the altar.

But at this time, strange sounds came from the mist. It seemed that the people from Laisheng Company were chanting in a foreign language. It seemed like singing... hazy, but it could penetrate everyone's hearts. Gu Jun's restlessness

, the dizziness became worse, and he murmured: "This seems to be...a song from this world..."

[The stone path is dark and silent, that is the beginning of life

In my mother’s dream, poisonous snakes, worms and demons appeared

From morning to night, there was a lot of pain]

"Why..." The team walked dozens of steps. This distance was long enough to get out of the altar. However, they were surprised to find that they were still in the same place, seemingly spinning in a circle, but they were clearly heading outside.

Bullets can be shot out and wild animals can rush in. It's probably not because of the space, but because their spirits are affected.

Suddenly, they couldn't even find their way back up the spiral stone staircase.

This feeling is like knowing in a dream that you are dreaming, and after you move and think you wake up, it is just another layer of dream.

At this time, everyone realized that the lack of the team was also the shortcomings of Tianji Bureau.

When facing the abnormal power exerted by the control, they have no corresponding tricks.

"It's those songs!" Xue Ba shouted with his veins twitching, trying to break the confusion of himself and everyone else, "Concentrate and abandon distracting thoughts, don't listen!"

They didn't understand what it meant, but they could feel their minds confused. It was not easy not to listen...

Whether it was because of his high spiritual knowledge or his ability to understand the meaning, Gu Jun was the one who listened the most deeply, and there were already some visions flickering in front of his eyes.

The song became louder and more mysterious...

[The nightmare grows stronger every day, waiting to burst out of the earth

Mother wonders every day whether what she is carrying in her belly is an immature creature or whether it is a ghoul living there

Sometimes she thinks sadly

The birth of life is inseparable from pain

Sometimes she thinks quietly

The birth of life is inseparable from pain]

"The birth of life cannot be separated from pain..." Gu Jun muttered in a daze, and suddenly, those chaotic visions became clearly visible.

That was not an illusion, it seemed like some memories he had from birth were resurrected before his eyes.

This altar... Gu Jun remembered that this was the place where Yiwen people held coming-of-age ceremonies.

The stone path, stone chamber, and spiral stone staircase from Hawke City to the altar are all part of the ceremony.

Different from the human civilization on earth that likes to build towers of Babel to get close to the gods, the Yiwen people believe that Mother Earth (goddess of life) nourishes everything.

To walk the ten thousand-step stone path is to go deep into the ground first. Entering the stone chamber is to return to the place that symbolizes the mother's birth of life. Climbing the spiral stone staircase is the process of birth. You are not allowed to walk up the spiral stone staircase from top to bottom, only from the bottom.

Moving up to the altar is also part of the ceremony, just like new life being squeezed out.

Including the fact that the top of the stone staircase is shaky and about to break is also part of the original design of the building.

Because mothers are also at great risk when giving birth, and the birth of a new life is also a kind of harm to the mother.

This ballad was sung by groups of young girls and boys who had just come of age as they walked through the ceremony...

"But why do I know this?" Gu Jun was at a loss, "Why do I seem to have personally participated in it... was it an experience when I was a child?"

The roars of wild beasts, the bangs of team members' guns, and the sound of songs filled with mist all mixed into a strange sound.

Suddenly, there came another cold and inducing call from Xue Ba, Uncle Dan, and the others:

"Gu Jun, open your eyes, look around, open your eyes!"

This call hit Gu Jun's heart like a heavy hammer...

At the same time, following the call, figures of men in black appeared in the mist around the altar, walking together from different directions.

Several snipers immediately shot at them, but the bullets just passed through the figures and no screams were heard. Was that just a twisted phantom...

The waves of wild beasts are still attacking, but they seem to ignore the figures in black. Xue Ba, Zhou Yi and others' expressions are all wrinkled. The team's automatic rifle bullets have been used up. They are already about to take someone like Gu Jun.

Submachine guns and other firearms are used, but ammunition is becoming less and less.

"Gu Jun, open your eyes, look around, and see what you are."

Figures of men in black walked out of the fog from all directions and approached the altar.
