Chapter XVII
Zhao Dabao, a cultivator of the Heavenly Ball Star, has walked the rivers and lakes all his life, and his judgment of the location of the mountains and forests is still very accurate.
If he didn't even have the most basic skills of walking the rivers and lakes, he, Zhao Dabao, would probably become one of the few lost cultivators, and the joke would be too big.
Zhao Dabao is infinitely grateful for this kind of dense grass and fruit trees, although the road is more difficult, after all, there are many fruits, and there is no need to worry about food.
Along the way, he ate a lot of various wild fruits, one of which obviously had the effect of improving his internal strength.
After climbing the mountain in the morning, he didn't feel any fatigue, but felt that the internal strength of the Nine Turns had improved slightly, and this level of improvement was definitely the effect that could only be achieved after two or three days of cultivation before.
He deliberately picked some more of these red and yellowish mountain fruits, and ate a few when he was hungry or thirsty.
After a half-hour break at noon, Zhao Dabao once again started his mountain climbing journey. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, he came to the place where the smoke rose.
It turned out to be a simple wooden house made of wood, and when it comes to wooden houses, it is to lift up this building. From a distance, it looks like a melon shack in a northern melon field.
A dozen thick wooden herringbone supports, covered with branches, play some role in insulation. Inside is a floor paved with weeds, and once a person gets in, he cannot even stand, but only sit or lie down.
Looking at this posture, this shack is just a resting place at zero hour, and the number of people who come is small.
In front of the shack was a pile of burned wood ash, and from the marks on its ground, it should have been extinguished for a month.
Zhao Dabao got into the shack, rummaged through it briefly, and only found a back basket and a small hoe with a short handle, judging from these two objects, this should be a zero-hour resting place for a medicine picker.
I touched the hay on the ground, it was not bad, it was very dry. When I looked up, I saw that the wooden shelves of the original shack were covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, and dense branches were pressed on top of the plastic sheeting, which also explained why the grass was dry.
Zhao Dabao lay flat on the hay in a big word, and made a comfortable "um" sound. Since I escaped from prison at one o'clock yesterday, I have not had a good rest for nearly thirty hours now, and the comfort and fatigue of lying down have come flooding up.
After resting for half an hour, Zhao Dabao reluctantly got up, now is not the time to rest, he has to figure out where the path to this shack leads? Don't lead to Qinling Prison again, then when he is asleep, it is really possible that he will be caught in the urn.
Following the path on the right side of the shack, Zhao Dabao walked to the right side of the shack for more than ten minutes, judging from the direction of the path, this path should have crossed the mountain in front of the prison, which was the opposite direction of the prison.
Seeing this, Zhao Dabao returned to the shack with confidence, simply ate a few red fruits, and fell asleep.
It was a good night's sleep, and it wasn't until about nine o'clock the next morning that Zhao Dabao woke up from his deep sleep. Touching the saliva on the side of his mouth, he stretched his waist fiercely, and Zhao Dabao got out of the shack.
More than 40 hours have passed since the prison escape, and according to the prison pursuit convention, it is now loose inside and tight outside.
The area around the prison should no longer be the focus of search, but should be expanded to a radius of several tens of kilometers, mainly in the form of checkpoints on various traffic arteries.
As for searching the mountains, it is almost impossible. The main reason is that the mountain is so big that it can't be encircled by 18,000 people.
Compared with Zhao Dabao, a fugitive, his role is not enough to cause such a big reaction. Overall, he's safe for now. One thing left is how to deal with the checkpoint inspection out of the mountains.
After sorting out the form, Zhao Dabao decided to live in this shack. Of course, the so-called dwelling is only in the shack at night, and hidden in the woods during the day.
First, I want to stay in the mountains for a little longer, wait for the outside checkpoints to be loosened, or even withdrawn, and then get out of the mountains, which will be relatively safe and easy.
The second is that the kind of red and yellow wild fruit on the mountain deeply attracted him, and the fruit that has the effect of increasing cultivation is not rare in the original cultivation world, not to mention this real world where spiritual energy is lacking, he decided to make good use of this red fruit and increase his cultivation speed as much as possible.
It's the beginning of September, and although it's late summer and early autumn, the weather is still relatively pleasant, so there is no problem wearing single clothes at all. Even if the night is a little cool, Zhao Dabao's body can still withstand it.
So from the beginning of September to the 26th of September, 25 days of dormancy and 25 days of cultivation passed in a flash.
On the twenty-seventh, Zhao Dabao knew that the day had come to go out of the mountain. These days, through the continuous exploration during the day, it is basically concluded that the mountain can be climbed by the medicine collection trail, that is, the checkpoints around the prison can be avoided through the trail.
And after taking the red fruit for a long time, I vaguely touched the hurdle at the beginning of the first turn. Unfortunately, the effect of the red fruit is gone, and this is already manifested on the twenty-fourth day.
Since the red fruit has no effect, it will have no effect on hibernation in the mountains. Zhao Dabao's current physique has undergone great changes, whether in terms of strength, speed, or agility, it has increased by 80% compared to the original. Even if he met the three strong men in the prison cafeteria again, he had the confidence to go head-to-head.
In the last encounter, Zhao Dabao completely took advantage of the suddenness of the attack and the experience of fighting. If it is a head-to-head confrontation, it must be Zhao Dabao who can't get up.
Wear a blue outfit, and when it comes to this outfit, it's actually a prison uniform. It's just that in more than 20 days, Zhao Dabao found a wild fruit with dyeing function in the mountains, and smeared its slurry on the gray prison uniform, and after more than ten hours, it turned blue.
He tore off the collar with his bare hands and transformed it into a simple blue garment. As for the rubber shoes, they have long since become muddy during these days of climbing, and it is impossible to see the original style at all.
With a basket containing some medicinal herbs on his back, and lifting a short-handled medicine hoe, Zhao Dabao successfully transformed into a medicine farmer in the mountains, and he couldn't see the appearance of the original prisoner at all.
The fine-tuning of the facial muscles by the Nine Turns Xuangong made Zhao Dabao's eyebrows change from the original slight figure-eight eyebrows to one-line eyebrows, plus the contraction of facial muscles. Even acquaintances may not be able to recognize this as the original entrepreneur Zhao Dabao.
For the current appearance, Zhao Dabao is very confident. This is also the reason why I have been practicing the Nine Turns Xuangong in the mountains these days, just to be able to fine-tune my appearance and modify my clothes.
With an unprecedented sense of relaxation, Zhao Dabao climbed up the mountain along the herb-picking path. Along the way, Zhao Dabao hummed an unknown tune and picked some common herbs on the roadside.
One is to conform to the current identity of the medicine farmer, and the other is to also think of the crowded bazaar for some money, after all, now I have no money, so I won't want to rob it as soon as I get out of the mountain.
