In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

"Click, click, click..."

Chen Mo was sitting in the carriage chewing the antlers in his mouth. There was a pile of pancakes and a bowl of meat sauce beside him.

The antlers have no taste, and the texture is indeed very crisp, but it will make your throat uncomfortable when you swallow it.

So Chen Mo bought some meat sauce and fried pancakes to eat with the antlers, which could adjust the taste and make it easier to swallow.

After biting off another piece of antler, Chen Mo opened the car curtain and took a look at the outside scene.

I estimate that in another ten or twenty miles, we should be waiting for the military camp.

Open the wooden box on the car and put away the remaining antlers.

Chen Mo opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage. The place he was going to was the military camp, although the driver was also a soldier from Zhu Niuji Military Camp.

But if he didn't show up, the soldiers in the camp would never let them into the camp at will.

The carriages and horses walked for a while, and the familiar military camp gradually appeared in front of us.

This place is still as heavily guarded as before. Before the unfamiliar carriages and horses arrive, the guards on duty in the military camp quickly become vigilant.

The two soldiers responsible for guarding the door hurried over and looked slightly surprised when they saw Chen Mo.

"Brother Thirteen, didn't you take office? Why did you come back suddenly?" A soldier asked curiously, turning around and waving to the tower in the distance, signaling to his companions that they no longer need to be vigilant.

"I have something to do. I want to go to the military camp and see my adoptive father." Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

The two soldiers quickly got to work, pulling away from the horses to allow the carriage to enter.

The three carriages drove all the way into the deepest part of the military camp. Chen Mo jumped off the carriage and personally unloaded everything in the carriage one by one.

"Just leave one carriage for me. You can drive the other two carriages back now." Chen Mo asked the soldiers who came, took out two five taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the two of them respectively.

The two of them happily bowed and bowed after receiving the reward, and then drove away.

Several soldiers accompanied them all the way to ensure that they would not wander around in the military camp.

Chen Mo walked into the barracks alone carrying wooden boxes. Several soldiers gathered here wanted to come to help, but he declined.

Some of the more knowledgeable soldiers knew in their hearts that they could not look at the contents of the box casually.

They immediately walked away, and even the soldiers who had not yet figured out the situation were dragged away by them.

For a time, only a few soldiers on duty were still here.

"Yeah!" Sun Shouren was sitting in the study, looking carefully at a letter in front of him. When he saw Chen Mo walking into the house holding three wooden boxes, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Why did you suddenly come back when you weren't on guard at Zhu Niuji? What happened?" Sun Shouren frowned slightly, turned over the letter in his hand, and asked hurriedly.

"It's a long story, foster father, please listen to me." Chen Mo slowly put down the three wooden boxes, turned around and closed the door tightly.

There are also two ice mirrors in the study. In order to prevent the loss of cold air, the windows are closed tightly, so he does not need to bother.

"My child asked you some time ago why there are people patrolling day and night in the military camp, and they also have to beat gongs and drums.

I was just confused before, but it wasn't until I encountered something recently that I finally understood. "

Chen Mo had no intention of beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

After hearing what he said, Sun Shouren's expression suddenly changed, and his brows were furrowed, like the Chinese character "Sichuan".

Get up and open the door of the study room, ask a few soldiers on duty in front of the door to guard outside, and don't let anyone else in.

After making arrangements, he walked back to Chen Mo again.

"Do you really know why gongs and drums are beaten in the military camp?" Sun Shouren's tone was cautious and his expression was rarely serious.

There was no room for his carelessness on this matter, and he had to confirm it again and again.

“That day, I woke up suddenly at night and heard strange noises coming from the outside world. When I went to look for it, I unexpectedly fell into a gray fog.

In that gray mist, I also encountered a strange creature, a very ferocious deer. "

“I killed it, but its body was not left behind, it turned into a living piece of meat that exuded a strange aroma.

At that time, I was worried that there would be problems if I ate it, so I resisted and did not dare to eat it. Then I heard the sound of gongs and drums in the military camp. I escaped from the gray fog, and the living meat became what it is now. "

Chen Mo said a lot in one breath, and then took out the piece of live meat he had left earlier from his arms.

Sun Shouren sighed softly, took it, and looked at it carefully.

“Later, I tried twice more, and each time I fell into the gray mist, I encountered these strange creatures and gained something.

Foster father, what on earth is that gray mist? Why can the sound of gongs and drums drive it away? What kind of creature is that strange deer living in the gray fog? "

Chen Mo asked many questions in one breath, which had been bothering him since the first time he fell into the gray fog. Now he finally had the opportunity to ask them all in one breath.

"Sit down first." Sun Shouren waved his hand and asked Chen Mo to sit down at the desk.

"Now that you know everything, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Chen Mo's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. Sure enough, his guess was correct. As one of the few strong men in the entire Xingyuan Mansion, his adoptive father really knew these secrets.

"I have told you about the Ruins Realm and Ruins Monsters before, but they all have a specific range of existence. As long as they are not within it, they will not be affected by them.

The gray fog you are talking about is different. It has a more accurate name called mirage.

They will only appear in places where a large number of people gather at night. If you are alone or with only seven or eight people, you will not encounter mirages. "

Sun Shouren slowly narrated that as Chen Mo expected, the powerful people in this world had long been exposed to the gray mist or mirage.

“Remember, if you camp in the wild in the future, you don’t want to sound the gongs and drums and expose yourself.

Then the number of people gathered in the three acres of land must not exceed forty. Once this number is exceeded, there is a possibility of encountering a mirage.

Or you can ensure that everyone wakes up and goes to sleep at the same time without waking up for even a moment in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, don’t think about taking advantage of the situation and arrange for someone to play the gongs and drums. "

Sun Shouren spoke in great detail. As a general of an army, he often had to be prepared to go out at night to patrol and explore.

Therefore, he has a good idea of ​​how many people can be arranged in a large area at the same time without any accidents.

These are things that are not mentioned in military books, and can be regarded as secrets of major generals and families.

"No, I remember the last time I fell into a mirage. The speed was obviously very slow. Even if I accidentally woke up for a moment at night, I shouldn't have directly entered the mirage, right?" Chen Mo looked slightly confused.

"That's because there's only a small mirage next to you, so it's very slow to drag you in.

And if no one beats the gong to disperse the mirage, it only takes a moment to drag you into it.

If the mirage covers a larger area, it can forcefully pull you in even if you are in deep sleep.

In the end, it may be useless to ring the gong. You can only persist in it until dawn, and then it will slowly disperse. "

Sun Shouren's tone was cautious and a little fearful. This is the scariest thing about the mirage.

As the coverage increases, its power grows, eventually dragging everything into it.

Therefore, the more people gather in a place, the more people will be arranged to patrol and beat the gongs to ensure that there is a sufficient surplus and never a shortage.

Even in more important cities, in addition to gongs, there are many other methods such as water bells and bells to disperse mirages and ensure the safety of the city.

In short, the imperial court's defense against mirages has always been indispensable.

Otherwise, if an accident occurs, the entire city may be swallowed up by the mirage.

"Then where did these monsters in the mirage come from? Why did they leave these things instead of corpses after they were killed?" Chen Mo continued to ask.

"The monsters in the mirage are the evolution of the mirage. The reason why it is called a mirage is because everything you see in it is a mirage. Even if you kill them for a while, they will evolve again after a while. Come out." Sun Shouren answered seriously.

His strength may not be much different from Chen Mo, but as a fifth-rank official, the information he has access to is far beyond Chen Mo's.

"So, does hunting the monsters in the mirage weaken their power? If you kill enough, will it completely eliminate them?"

Sun Shouren nodded slightly, "You are right, this is the truth.

But everyone who enters the mirage and never comes back is also constantly strengthening it.

What's more, the power of the mirage sea is too strong and too many. To this day, countless powerful people hunt and kill countless mirage beasts from it.

Mirage's power has never weakened, and there are even signs of getting stronger. "

Sun Shouren let out a long sigh when he said this. Even based on the information he had access to, he could feel a sense of despair for no reason.

Mirage was too strong and was getting stronger. No matter how many methods they tried, they could not weaken it at all.

Everything the human race has done is lingering in front of it, trying to delay it for a longer time.

As time goes by, the mirage will eventually swallow up this world. This is almost certain.

Fortunately, according to the information Sun Shouren knew, it would take at least hundreds or thousands of years for the mirage to swallow up this world.

He never doubted whether this information was true or false.

Therefore, his worry and despair about this matter are only a little bit occasionally, and he is not very anxious.

Things that are hundreds or thousands of years away are too far away, so let’s leave them to future generations, so you don’t have to worry about them.
