Chapter Twenty-Five: Ascending the Mountain at Night
At this time, Tang Zhen, who was on the high-speed train, was completely unaware of what was happening to the Foundation.
The reason why high-speed rail is chosen over faster planes is mainly a matter of frequency, and secondly, high-speed rail will not be delayed unless force majeure is encountered.
He booked a business seat, the seat was loose and comfortable, and he could even lie down and sleep when he was tired.
Business Class is not well seated because of the starting station and most people waiting to board the bus at the intermediate stop.
As soon as he sat down, Tang Zhen first adjusted the seat to a comfortable position, then took out his mobile phone and began to search for information about the place he was about to go.
Qingnan Mountain.
Located in the central region of our country, there are many rare animals living in it, which is a treasure of nature.
It's just a mountain, what blessings will there be?
Could it be that there are still two immortals fighting in the mountain, and he happened to catch up and save a fairy?
Tang Zhen himself felt, closed the mobile phone page, and just took a nap.
When he woke up again, Tang Zhen noticed that there was an extra bottle of water on the armrest of the seat next to him, which obviously could not have been drunk when he was sleepwalking, indicating that someone had come, but he didn't know where it was now.
Looking at the time, around four o'clock in the afternoon, I slept for nearly five hours, which made Tang Zhen, who only drank a cup of coffee before getting into the car, a little unbearable.
"Gollum~"
The stomach began to protest.
Although I don't have a meal now, I can still eat when I go to the restaurant.
The food on the high-speed rail is actually not bad, but Tang Zhen, who is used to eating He Ma's craftsmanship, always feels that the taste is a little worse, but it is okay, at least he can eat enough.
After eating more than sixty years for a meal, he can't be reimbursed with charity, which is undoubtedly worse for Tang Zhen, who is not rich, but when he thinks about whether he can survive after ten days, he doesn't care so much.
Back in his seat, Tang Zhen saw at a glance the woman sitting in the seat next to him, wearing headphones and her mobile phone horizontally, probably watching a video.
The person is very good-looking, very good at dressing up, and the makeup on the face is also very clear, which means that the foundation is very good.
When Tang Zhen sat down next to her, she subconsciously glanced at Tang Zhen, and neither of them spoke, each doing their own thing.
There are seven hours left before the destination, and Tang Zhen has already booked a room and will go to Fuyuan early tomorrow morning.
Although he did not sit by the window, the beautiful scenery on both sides still kept him glued, and he was used to living in the steel forest, and occasionally came to see the primeval forest and rocky mountains.
The woman looked at Tang Zhen, she observed Tang Zhen for a while, and at first thought it was a pervert, but after discovering that Tang Zhen was actually just looking at the scenery, she offered to exchange: "Do you need to change positions?"
Tang Zhen shook his head in embarrassment, retracted his gaze and said, "No, I'm sorry to disturb you." He turned his head and looked out the window on the other side.
However, next door to the aisle was still a woman, and in order to avoid the same embarrassment, Tang Zhen finally gave up the idea of looking at the scenery.
At half past twelve in the middle of the night, I stayed at the hotel I had booked.
After tossing and turning in bed for more than an hour, Tang Zhen put on his clothes and went out.
As a tourist attraction on weekdays, Qingnan Mountain does not need to buy tickets, and tourists can go up and down the mountain freely, but the open boundary is not even halfway up the mountain.
Further up, there is the reserve.
The hotel rented by Tang Zhen is at the foot of the mountain, and the hotel can arrange a car for the mountain, but only during normal hours.
However, it is not difficult to take a taxi in these years, and after waiting for two minutes at the door of the hotel, there is a driver to take the order.
After all, it's not far, two kilometers back and forth, and the driver who takes the order must also live nearby.
"Why do you still want to go up the mountain at night?" As soon as he got into the car, the driver began to inquire.
"Well, I want to see the night view. Tang Zhen said disapprerovingly.
"Night view?" the driver glanced in the rearview mirror, "what can I see at night in the mountains?"
"I haven't seen it, so I'm going to see the world. Tang Zhen chatted with each other.
"Oh. The driver didn't ask any more, and when Tang Zhen was sent to his destination, he stopped in place, "I'll wait for you, I won't be able to get a taxi when it's late." β
Tang Zhen stared at his face for two seconds, and he didn't know if the driver had good intentions or another purpose, "No need, I'll go down by myself later." β
Rejecting the driver's kindness, Tang Zhen casually turned around in place, and only after the driver left completely did he prepare to go up the mountain.
As soon as I entered the forest, I heard the howl of wolves coming from the top of the mountain.
"Uh-huhβ"
It is said that there are not only wolves, but also black bears and leopards at night in Qingnan Mountain, if it weren't for Tang Zhen's ability to [Animal Friends (Elementary)], he wouldn't necessarily have the courage to go up the mountain in the middle of the night.
It's just that this ability has been tried on cats and dogs so far, and I don't know if it has any effect on fierce beasts in the wild.
Even if this ability is not good, Tang Zhen can also [Beast Language (Elementary)], in the process of communicating with Huang Taizi, he found that not only can he understand the meaning expressed by Huang Taizi, but Huang Taizi can also feel the meaning contained in his emotions.
Anyway, try it again. Compared to other points in time that may be affected, this time is indeed more open-minded.
The most important thing is fortune, if it is some earth-shattering treasure, once there are witnesses to see it, it will be troublesome.
After walking along the path used by the forest ranger to go up the mountain, a small wooden house appeared not far in front, the light was still on inside, and a person could be faintly seen standing in the window, who should be the forest watcher on duty.
Tang Zhen found himself leaving the road and turned around and walked into the forest.
You have to take a long detour, otherwise you will be discovered, and the only way to end up is to go to the police station to explain.
It's easy to get lost by the towering trees in the forest, but fortunately, Tang Zhen's goal is to go up to the top of the mountain, and you won't go wrong if you feel the slope.
γTrapγ
(Reward: Beast Language (Intermediate))
The sudden jump out of the mission made Tang Zhen stop walking up the mountain, and the name of the mission reminded him of a scene often seen in movies, where the bear was caught in a serrated iron clamp and could not break free......
The destination of the task was a little far from Tang Zhen now, and it was going down the mountain, and after struggling in his heart, Tang Zhen still decided to do this task first.
[Beast Language (Intermediate)], will it be the ability to talk to animals?
Before he reached the designated place, Tang Zhen heard the wailing of animals in the distance.
When I got closer, it was a little black bear that was caught in a clip, and blood flowed from one of its hind legs.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Tang Zhen read its emotions.
"Don't be afraid. Tang Zhen slowly approached it.
The bear did not show the enthusiasm of the cat and dog before, but was relatively calm, and his expression was still painful.
"Don't worry, I'll release it for you right away. Tang Zhen continued to comfort, and finally approached the little bear, but an adult black bear suddenly rushed out of the grass next to him.
"Roar!"
"Leave!" it said.
Even if Tang Zhen has the ability to increase favorability, the adult black bear is still not polite at all.
Its appearance really frightened Tang Zhen, but Tang Zhen was on a mission, and said stubbornly: "Don't be angry, I'm here to help you." β
Although the black bear could not understand his language, he could sense his kindness, so he did not go any further.
Tang Zhen took a deep breath, held his breath, squatted down, and glanced at the adult black bear before breaking the trap, but the latter still didn't move, which made him breathe a little relieved.
The clip was not as simple as Tang Zhen thought, and it took him a lot of strength to open it, and his two hands almost cramped.
The moment the bear escaped, he did not rush towards the adult black bear, but pounced on Tang Zhen's body, and at this time, the task reward had been issued to Tang Zhen, just so that he understood the meaning of the bear's expression.
"Thank you. This time, it was not that Tang Zhen understood its emotions, but that he was really using "language" to dialogue.
