"Go, go!"
Jiang Fan shouted, directing everyone to dismantle the tents and pack everything they could carry.
Dai Xiaomei was still unconscious, so Xiong Mao carried her on his back.
The green sea-maned lizards followed Jiang Fan's movements.
The reptiles that Dai Xiaomei had assigned to guard duty were all engulfed in the pink mist.
Jiang Fan had no time to worry about these animals; his priority was to force a breakthrough.
He tore some clothes to make cloth strips, soaked them in water, and fashioned makeshift masks for everyone.
This would prevent the pink microorganisms from entering their mouths and noses.
The surroundings were eerily silent. Jiang Fan clearly felt something was amiss.
In a dense forest, there should have been the sound of wind and rustling trees.
But now, even those sounds were absent, indicating that something, like a Great Wall, had blocked the wind.
These strange things were either extremely large or incredibly numerous.
Finally, everything was packed. Jiang Fan led the group to evacuate.
The mist was so thick that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face. It was also in the vast darkness of night. Jiang Fan signaled everyone to follow behind him.
It was impossible to determine direction, so they could only pick a random place to retreat.
"Nian Nian, which way do you think we should go?"
Jiang Fan asked Zhou Nian Nian directly. At this time, only Zhou Nian Nian's luck was most effective.
The dense mist composed of microorganisms around them greatly interfered with Yao's beast intuition.
If Jiang Fan guessed correctly, Yao should currently sense danger everywhere.
"Why are you asking me now? How should I know... North!"
Zhou Nian Nian pointed north, the direction indicated by the Big Dipper.
"Alright, we'll break through in this direction!"
Jiang Fan took the lead, guiding the team to break through towards the north.
He swung his Banana Leaf Fan with all his might, dispersing the red mist.
The path ahead was relatively flat. As they walked, the mist began to thin, and they could start to see their surroundings.
Jiang Fan discovered they were in a vast wilderness.
There were short trees all around, and they could feel a slight breeze.
Yao suddenly pointed ahead.
"Very dangerous!"
Jiang Fan was startled. Yao rarely used such strong language.
Did they have to retreat here?
But the mist was starting to dissipate.
If they turned back, the half-hour journey would have been in vain.
Moreover, they had no idea which direction was safe.
He ran through various thoughts in his mind, then gritted his teeth.
"Let's keep pushing forward!"
Jiang Fan clenched the staff in his hand and continued to advance.
After walking for a while longer, the red mist surrounding them had mostly dispersed.
Jiang Fan and the others found themselves in a barren wilderness with no cover.
It was like the scenery described by "stars hang low over the vast plains, the moon rises and the great river flows," except without the river.
Around them were rows of reddish-brown, bare hills with sparse vegetation.
Although these hills were not high, only three to four meters tall, their sheer numbers meant climbing them would take considerable effort.
"Looks like we have to cross the mountains."
Zhou Nian Nian was already tired and pouted when she saw they had to climb mountains.
"There's a path there!"
Yao pointed to a gap between the hills. Indeed, there were a few small paths.
Zhou Nian Nian was overjoyed and was about to step forward when Jiang Fan stopped her.
"Wait! I don't remember there being these paths."
Jiang Fan clearly recalled that when he had looked at these hills earlier, there were no mountain paths in between them.
After Zhou Nian Nian complained, gaps large enough for people to pass through suddenly appeared in the middle of the hills.
Could the mountains actually move?
Especially since the red mist had dispersed elsewhere but still lingered around these hills.
Jiang Fan's intuition told him that these small hills were problematic and extremely dangerous.
"Wait a moment, let me scout ahead!"
Jiang Fan directly used his [Beast Roar] talent, glaring fiercely at the thin red mist surrounding the hills.
His intention was merely to see how these microorganisms would react.
With one glare, the microorganisms scattered.
Then, the entire ground began to shake, making it difficult for Jiang Fan and the others to stand.
Jiang Fan was shocked. He didn't have Sharingan, so how could his glare cause the ground to shake?
The small hills, which had been quiet, suddenly began to deform.
"Deform" wasn't quite accurate; they had been curled up, but now they unfolded, revealing their true forms.
Jiang Fan's heart pounded. He finally understood what these things were.
They weren't small hills at all, but a large group of dinosaurs of varying sizes and bizarre shapes.
They had been curled up here sleeping, and now, seeing food delivered to them, they began to stir.
The red mist seemed to have been sent out by the dinosaurs to find food for them.
They deliberately thinned the mist on the paths leading to the dinosaurs, luring people onto these routes.
Then, those who took the wrong turn became meals for the dinosaurs.
It had to be said, the variety of dinosaurs here was immense.
There were all kinds, including super plesiosaurs dozens of meters long and over ten meters tall.
And the main villains from the movies, the smaller velociraptors with bared fangs.
The stegosaurs, with their triangular dorsal fins, looking sluggish and gentle.
The brachiosaurs, with thunderous roars and colossal bodies.
The sky suddenly darkened as the moon's light was blocked by giant pterosaurs soaring into the sky.
There was even a marine dragon, larger than a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that lived only in the ocean, joining the fray.
"My goodness, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex..."
Zhou Nian Nian's voice trembled. She even had the presence of mind to count them with a trembling finger.
"Tell me quickly, we're actually filming a movie and have arrived on the set of Jurassic Park."
Jiang Fan said with a wry smile.
"We've arrived in Jurassic Park, but it's not a set; it's the real Jurassic Park."
Now, he finally understood what the red mist was.
It turned out to be red parasites that lived on these dinosaurs.
At this moment, the dinosaurs spotted Jiang Fan and his group and immediately adopted an aggressive stance.
Whether herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, they all prepared to attack.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its massive jaws, revealing sharp teeth, and lunged forward.
The Stegosaurus vigorously shook the sword-like fins on its back, ready to attack.
The Velociraptors acted in unison, encircling Jiang Fan and the others.
The Brachiosaurs let out deep roars that made Jiang Fan's head spin.
It was the first time Jiang Fan had seen so many dinosaurs, and his mind went blank.
