Chapter 112: Taking a shortcut
The sun moved quietly to the southwest, and the spots of light scattered on the ground in the forest changed positions from time to time.
A woodpecker that had come out to eat after a meal flew through the woods, perched on a white pine branch, and looked curiously at the swaying grass beneath the tree.
From time to time, dirt and leaves were thrown out of the grass, and a small mound gradually formed. In front of the mound, Wang Ping pouted his hairy ass and was leaning over to dig through the dirt in front of him with his paws.
The waist bag with the drone stood on the ground next to it, and at some point, a spot of light moved from the ground. The bracket with the wind blades hanging from it glows metallicly in the sunlight.
“kiki~~?”
The woodpecker tilted its head, its gaze moving from the body of a badger to the silver light under the tree.
Flapping its wings, the curious woodpecker flew down from the branch and landed on the ground not far from the waistpack. Probably because of the breeze, the drone's blades turned, and the woodpecker's eyes narrowed, and he moved his steps closer, and the tip of his beak slowly approached the blades.
"Smack!"
A small pebble with dirt flew over, brushed its sharp beak, and hit the trunk of the tree on the other side with a crunching sound.
“ki!”
The woodpecker was startled, screamed, and flapped its wings and flew up.
Footsteps sounded, and a furry paw stepped on the fallen leaves, brushing aside the grass and appearing outside.
Wang Ping, who rubbed his face with dirt, glared at the woodpecker that flew back to the branch and refused to move away, grabbed the end of a green stalk with his paws, paced back to his waist bag, and sat on the ground.
Lifting the plant and shaking it in front of his eyes, looking at the radish ginseng covered with roots underneath, a badger's hairy face smiled.
"Don't you know how to run?
"Goo~Goo!" The belly shook again, urging a certain badger to quickly eat and wipe this thing clean.
"You're in a hurry! It's all mud, you can't wash it?"
Wang Ping patted his belly, got up and wiped a paw on his body, and turned to carry his waist bag.
“ki!”
On the branch overhead, a woodpecker that was almost hit by a certain badger with a concussion leaned over and screamed at Wang Ping under the tree.
Ignoring the bird that was about to go crazy above his head, a certain badger picked up his waist bag, discerned the direction, and Shi Shiran walked towards the woods. A certain woodpecker looked at the badger under the tree and dared to ignore it, and the bird's head was crooked, flapped its wings and flew up, and it followed.
Following Gu Laosan's scent and the traces left in the forest, Wang Ping walked around the woods for about half an hour. The person was not found, but at this time he heard the sound of water splashing not far away.
Probably Gu Lang also heard the sound of water here, and Wang Ping found that the traces left by someone also began to become clear here, and they were rushing away with the sound of water.
Seeing that they were almost at the point of the ridge, the sound of water seemed to come from the other side of the ridge. Wang Ping quickened his pace and walked towards the position of the ridge.
The closer you get to the ridge, the louder the water flows. After walking about 200 meters, the sound of a waterfall could be clearly heard. It seems that in this vicinity, there is a fault in the mountain.
Turning around a mountain col, Wang Ping was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
It's true that there is a waterfall, but it is not a waterfall that flows from this ridge here.
On the opposite side of the hillside, a ridge fault that seems to have been squeezed out by the mountains on both sides stands on the other ridge, and a small waterfall two meters wide splashes down from the cliff, forming a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff. A river stretches out from a waterhole and winds its way west along the valley between the two mountain ranges, where it leads. On both sides of the river, thick trees are scattered to shade the river in the valley.
However, the traces left by Gu Lang from the forest suddenly disappeared when he came here, which made Wang Ping very puzzled.
"Did this thing fall down from here?"
Wang Ping stood on the ridge and looked at it, and decisively denied his guess.
It's true that the slope on this side is steep, but it's not so exaggerated that people fall down without leaving a trace. What's more, this area is all dirt and mountains, with dense vegetation, high trees and thick forests, and there are no conditions for people to roll down the hillside at all.
Looking down at the pond at the foot of the mountain, a certain badger secretly guessed Gu Laosan's whereabouts.
When this thing left as an "escape machine", it didn't have time to drink water at all. If you come here and see the lake at the bottom of the mountain, you will definitely find a way to go down. Since there was no trace left here, maybe he changed his course himself.
Of course, if this guy knows he's going to chase him, stop somewhere and wait. Wang Ping was worried that Gu Laosan's mind was not open, and he was running blindly in the woods, and he was stupidly chasing along the route.
And after such a long search, a certain badger can almost be sure at this moment that Gu Laosan, a pit goods, is really running around.
If you don't want to find a way to take a shortcut and use your 20-centimeter little short legs to chase someone's long legs of more than one meter, the ghost knows when you will be able to catch up.
So if someone is on their way to the lake, or has already reached the lake, there's an opportunity to shorten the distance between the two. No matter how bad it is, there are drones, and you can go to the lake to check it out first.
The little paw subconsciously touched the waist bag on his chest, and Wang Ping decided to give the waist bag a simple transformation and make a "flight suit" first. Otherwise, if you fly and fly with the remote control like you did in the hotel, you won't have time to cry.
Untie your belt bag and place it on the ground. Wang Ping opened the small compartment on his chest and took out a bunch of things such as mobile phones and drone remote controls inside. The two joysticks of the remote control were roughly compared to the outside of the bag, and then Wang Ping stretched out the tip of a claw and poked two holes in the small checkered bag.
Then stuff the mobile phone and portable WiFi back, and finally put the remote control in the bag, and extend the joystick to the outside through two small holes on the inside.
It shook a little, because there were a lot of things stuffed in the small compartment, and the remote control was squeezed in front of it, but it was very firm.
A badger was satisfied with the power bank that was placed with the drone, turned on the switch of the drone, picked up the waist pack and prepared to carry it on his body. But as soon as I turned around, I saw the ginseng that had been put aside by me.
Leaving the soil, the stalks of the upper part of the ginseng were wilting, and the bunches of small red fruits were hanging listlessly.
After thinking about it, Wang Ping bent down and picked up the ginseng, pulled away the position where the drone was placed on the other side of the waist bag, and stuffed the ginseng rhizome into it.
When he put the bulging waist bag on his body again, a string of small red fruits drooped down on the top of Wang Ping's head, dangling on Wang Ping's head, like a parasol.
Tightening the velcro on his side, Wang Ping bent his body slightly, and put his two paws on the joystick on his chest to push slightly. There was a sound of wind blades behind him, and his body slowly began to leave the ground.
Feeling the pull behind him and the stability of the drone, Wang Ping shook his head secretly.
It seems that I am wearing too many things, and I am a little overweight. The joystick has been pushed to the end, and the drone is less than 5 meters above the ground.
But this height is exactly what he wants. As long as you don't have to slip your legs, this height is not unacceptable. If it is higher, a certain badger also plays a little drum. In case half of the road runs out of power, it will be a tragedy if there is another "machine wrecked badger death" or something.
Manipulating the drone to avoid the trees in the forest, Wang Ping flew all the way down the hillside to the waterhole at the foot of the mountain.
