I became the koi savior of the survival game

Chapter 63 The Dangerous Misty Forest

Ji Yingxue stopped talking now. She was also afraid of what might happen if she accidentally encountered the thick fog. Who knew what other scary things there were in the foggy forest?
"No need, I'll just stay in the village." Ji Yingxue said as she backed away angrily.

After deciding on the way out of the misty forest, Zhen Jinli led the other five players to the edge of Si Yao's water pattern barrier.

"Protect!"

Zhen Jinli activated the protective barrier to cover herself and other players.

"Lady Luck will definitely bless us."

After Zhen Jinli recited this sentence silently, she led the other players through the water pattern barrier and walked towards the misty forest.

It took about an hour to walk from the village to the outskirts of the forest. Zhen Jinli first took everyone around the outskirts of the forest and found no danger.

The six people were divided into two groups. After tying props and telescopic ropes on their bodies, they went into the forest to explore separately.

Zhen Jinli didn't dare to loosen the barrier rashly, and the two male players around her had been holding on to the barrier constructed by their abilities, and they didn't dare to let the thick fog have a chance to touch her.

The visibility in the foggy forest was only about four meters. In order to blow away the fog, Zhen Jinli asked one of the boys with wind powers to blow away the thick fog while walking.

Not long after, they saw a small river flowing out of the valley. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and there were many small fish swimming in the river.

Seeing them coming, the little fish gathered over happily, their mouths opening and closing, as if they were scrambling to get fish food from them.

This is the only living animal they have seen in this country so far besides the players.

Zhen Jinli knelt down and looked at the small fish carefully for a while, and suddenly a terrible suspicion flashed in her mind.

"Do you think the reason why those NPCs can't be woken up is because they are not just asleep?"

"Is it possible that their souls were taken away by the thick fog, and then fell into the river in this forest and turned into small fishes?"

The two players next to him were amazed at Zhen Jinli's imaginative thinking, and also had some doubts about the origin of these little fishes.

They saw no other living animals in the forest, only the small fish in the river were alive and kicking. No one would believe it if they said there was nothing wrong with these fish.

"How about this? Let's catch a few small fish and try them out first to see if they can be used to wake up those sleeping NPCs?" the boy wearing glasses suggested.

Zhen Jinli nodded, then took out several mineral water bottles, cut off the top third with a knife, filled the bottles with a few small fish, and prepared to leave the forest.

On the way back, they unexpectedly discovered that the original marks on the tree were missing, and even the arrow marks made of stones had mysteriously disappeared.

The entire misty forest seemed to be under a restoration spell, even the footprints they had previously stepped on had completely disappeared.

Swamps would appear from time to time in the forest, and they almost fell into swamps several times.

Fortunately, Zhen Jinli had the Time Stop skill and was able to drag the remaining two people out of the swamp.

Because when they fell into the swamp, the supernatural barriers on the other two players briefly disappeared. Fortunately, Zhen Jinli's protective barrier was covering them outside, so they did not encounter those who could kill people. The fog that drains away the soul.

There are traps everywhere in this misty forest. If you are not careful, you may fall into the swamp, or fall into the trap set by the hunter early in the morning.

The boy wearing glasses used water power to wash away the swamp mud on several people, and said with some emotion.

"Fortunately, Sister Xiaoli is here, so we can cross the swamp safely."

"Yes, thank you, Miss Li."

Zhen Jinli asked with a slightly strange expression on her face: "How old are you?"

"I'm 23," said the boy wearing glasses.

"I'm 22." The tall boy said.

Zhen Jinli: "Oh, it's okay."

Hey, it's really embarrassing at this age when most young people call themselves "sister".

After Zhen Jinli sent the two boys out of the forest, she hesitated whether to go back to find the other team members.

Forget it, let's send the people back to the village first. When the other team members haven't come back at three in the afternoon, she can come and look for them.

After returning to the village, Zhen Jinli placed the fish fished out of the river, along with the mineral water bottle, next to a certain villager NPC.

Nothing happened.

The fish kept flapping in the bottle, poking the bottle with its mouth, as if it wanted to get out of the bottle.

The boy wearing glasses suddenly had an idea and said: "Is it possible to put the mouth of the small fish to the mouth of the NPC? In this way, the soul can return to his original body?"

Seeing the players around him looking at each other, the boy wearing glasses scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I used to read those fantasy novels about cultivating immortals, and most of the settings were written like this."

Zhen Jinli nodded thoughtfully and said, "There is no other way anyway, so why not give it a try as you said."

She handed the mineral water bottle with only two-thirds left to the boy wearing glasses, indicating that he could catch the small fish.

The boy reached out and grabbed the small fish, then pointed the mouth of the small fish at the mouth of the villager NPC and poked it.

However, even though the whole fish was almost stuffed into the mouth of the villager NPC, the villager NPC still did not wake up.

Seeing them struggling for a long time, Su Yan couldn't help but ask the doubts he had always had in his heart.

"Even if these little fishes are really the souls of NPCs in this country, then we have to confirm which NPC souls these little fishes belong to, right?"

That's true, but how to confirm it?
Zhen Jinli recalled that the little fish seemed to have been poking the mineral water bottle with its mouth, and said suddenly.

"Do these little fishes all have memories? As long as we let them find their own way, maybe they can find their own bodies by themselves?"

Zhen Jinli put the little fish back into the bottle, and then followed the direction in which the little fish swam, just like looking at a compass, and moved forward.

When passing a relatively dilapidated house somewhere, the little fish suddenly stopped moving forward and swam to the side, as if he wanted to enter that house.

"Is your body in here?"

Zhen Jinli held the bottle and ran towards the broken house, "Don't worry, you will be able to return to your body soon."

The crowd followed Zhen Jinli all the way, and finally came to a dilapidated house, where they saw a little girl in ragged clothes sleeping unconscious on the bed.

Zhen Jinli gave the boy wearing glasses the opportunity to try to wake up the NPC and said, "You do it."

The boy felt a little excited, grabbed the small fish, put the fish's mouth into the little girl's mouth, and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

Everyone is watching in anticipation. Is this the right way to wake up the NPC?
