Chapter 478: The Route of Terror

Before dawn, the captain Fei Guoqiang urged everyone to get up, and after a simple breakfast, everyone returned to the place where the wooden stakes were driven last night. This time, a long rope was used, and when the long rope reached its limit, a short rope was used to climb down layer by layer.

From above, a rough estimate, to reach the bottom, there is at least a hundred meters of distance. Wang Peng, who was a scout, took the initiative to ask to explore the way ahead, and after last night's rest, he seemed to have regained his courage and no longer mentioned the fear of snakes.

The process of climbing down was unexpectedly smooth. At the location of the tenth order, some household garbage was found, including the outer packaging of self-heating lunch boxes, as well as the skin of ham sausages, mineral water bottles, and even human feces.

Go all the way down to the bottom, and after confirming that it is safe, the person who stays at the top will start to follow up. This stepped hillside slopes to the southwest, and there is no way to go in the direction of travel.

At the bottom of this hillside, it is too wet, full of leeches and mosquitoes and other small insects, and the mud on the ground is up to the ankles, making it very difficult to move. Walking along this muddy and dangerous path, I could only walk forward, and after walking for two miles, I found a few clumps of bloody toilet paper in the grass next to me, and a few leech corpses wrapped in them.

Seeing this scene, several people were even more sure that it was left by several missing travelers. It's just that the road ahead, very not optimistic, the further you go, the denser the miscellaneous trees next to you, and the branches on both sides form a natural umbrella, so that you can't see the sun.

Several people took out their mobile phones, as well as the satellite positioning system, and found that there was no signal in a single frame very depressed. Li Qingyun gave them an analysis, since these travelers can find a place to send messages, it should be a small mountain. Follow this path until you find a way up it.

Everyone agreed with Li Qingyun's speculation, and walked forward with their heads bored. Under such a complex terrain, Li Qingyun could not summon Hai Dongqing for help.

It took about five or six hours. The road is already very far away from the known route, and the further southwest it goes, the more likely it is to get closer to another route into the mountains. However, even if he went deep into the location, Li Qingyun was worried that he was close to the vicinity of the Snake God Temple, that place was too evil, and there was always a sense of danger. Li Qingyun didn't want to enter the Snake Temple again.

As the muddy mountain road turns south, the terrain rises and finally gets rid of the thrilling swampy path. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and could feel that the sun was in the west, and it was already afternoon.

The team members help each other to find leeches and bugs on their bodies, burn them with lighters, or apply medicinal powder to their bodies. It's a busy meal. Only then did he find out those disgusting terrible insects on his body, and he also encountered poisonous snakes on the road, but Li Qingyun found it early and reminded him in time, so that everyone avoided it early, so that he did not bite anyone.

Li Qingyun saw that there were several hills nearby, although there was no obvious road, but he tried his best to climb up. You can climb it too. Count the time if the missing five travelers walked here. Climb a hill and call for help with your mobile phone, and send the most critical text message for help, which is possible on several nearby hills.

At this time, it is time for the search and rescue team to use their methods. Fei Guoqiang took a look at his surroundings and said to a team member next to him: "You send a signal to attract the attention of the missing person." See if they can hear what we're saying. ”

The team member answered, and soon fired a bullet in three directions, chirp, chirp...... Three times in a row, a cloud of green smoke burst out in the air.

Finish firing flares. The crowd held their breath and listened to the movement around them. If there is a shout, their mission is complete. Unfortunately, after waiting for three minutes, I didn't hear the exciting shouts.

Li Qingyun said: "It may be too far away, the other side can't hear the sound of our signal flare, and we can't hear the other party's shouting. You let the search and rescue dogs smell the smell, and I asked Hai Dongqing to search the nearby hills. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and if they could not be found, they would be delayed for another day, and the other party had been in the mountain for nearly four days, and the food and water should have run out. ”

Fei Guoqiang was a little more optimistic, saying: "Their group of people often play in the wild, and their ability to survive in the wild is stronger than that of ordinary tourists. This time I entered the mountain, and I brought a lot of food, which can be seen from the food packaging tape left on the road. We can't be in a hurry, we will make mistakes in a hurry, and the more we are at this time, the more we must be calm. ”

Li Qingyun didn't want to compete with him for the leadership of the team, so there was no need to fight with him for this, but the harsh conditions of the environment in the mountains were not something that ordinary travelers could bear. This search and rescue team, with itself as a guide, avoided many dangers, and is still so tired that it can't wait to sleep on the mountain road, and its body and spirit are overdrawn.

It may be that the humidity here is too heavy, or the smell of wild grass here is too strong, and the sense of smell of the search and rescue dogs has been affected, and the whereabouts of the missing traveler can no longer be smelled. After trying all the personal belongings provided by the family members of the five people in a row, it had no effect, so I had to give up using the sense of smell to track them.

The crowd was debating whether to find the location of the camp first, and then rest for the night before searching for the missing person. The two Hai Dongqing circled in the sky a few times, and suddenly above the highest mountain in front of them, they let out a strange cry.

Coo-quack, this kind of sound is generally the instinctive excited sound of Hai Dongqing when they encounter prey or targets.

As soon as Li Qingyun heard that there was a door, he saw a Haidongqing returning, flying to Li Qingyun's shoulder, and pointing with his wings at the mountain full of trees where he found something. What exactly was discovered, Li Qingyun couldn't guess through their cries.

"I think I've found an anomaly, but I'm not sure what it is. Even if I climbed that mountain, it would be dark, and I had never been here, so I didn't know if there was a place to camp. I see that everyone is tired, so you first set up camp at the foot of the mountain, burn every inch of grass in the place where you want to camp, do not leave it out, and finally sprinkle it with insect and snake powder. I'm going to go up the hill to have a look. Li Qingyun pointed to a flat area suitable for camping and said to everyone.

"What? You're going up the mountain at this time? We're tired all day, do you still have the strength to climb the mountain? I can't even take a step anyway. Wang Peng scratched the blood scars on his neck and asked in surprise.

Even Fei Guoqiang, who had been looking at Li Qingyun unpleasantly, persuaded him: "Guide Li, this is too dangerous, who knows what danger it will be when it gets dark, it's okay that there are many of us, if you go up the mountain alone, if there is any danger, we can't help." ”

At this time, Fei Guoqiang really didn't want Li Qingyun to have an accident, because Li Qingyun had an accident, and they didn't have the courage to go back the same way, let alone find a new route home.

"Haha, you guys underestimate me too much, I'm a local hunter, when I encounter ordinary beasts, I shoot one at a time, and I will never fail, I have killed a few wild boars and king cobras, can I still meet tigers?" Li Qingyun said lightly, not taking everyone's persuasion seriously.

Because he didn't want to waste time here, and wanted to find the missing person earlier, he left the team to meet Michelle and his daughter Chloe. In a few days, Chloe will be full moon, and she can't help but be a father.

Seeing that Li Qingyun insisted, everyone stopped persuading him and told him to be more careful on the road, and if he found a clue, he would return as soon as possible, and not go too deep alone.

Li Qingyun carried his bags on his back, walked like flying, did not take the mountain road here seriously, maybe it was inaccessible here, and the quality of some medicinal herbs on the hillside was very good, such as aconite, Sichuan fritillary, etc., the quantity was very large, and occasionally you could see cordyceps.

Ordinary herbs, Li Qingyun picked them easily and threw them into a small space. If it's not convenient to pick, give up temporarily, but when you see Cordyceps, you can't give up, at this time it's also the picking season, and you don't know when to come next time, it's a pity after the time.

After picking more than a dozen high-quality cordyceps, when I started to climb the target hill, I actually found a pure wild ginseng, judging by its appearance alone, it is about 100 years old.

Li Qingyun was overjoyed, although ginseng and other herbs could grow in a small space, but the chance of seeing pure century-old Kawano ginseng was even smaller than the chance of winning the lottery. The funniest thing is that this ginseng grows right next to the hiking path, and if a local villager had passed by, it would have been dug up long ago.

The route Li Qingyun climbed was a bit steep, and it was estimated that even wild boars would not pass through here. He carefully transplanted this century-old ginseng plant into a small space along with the surrounding soil, and after planting it, he poured some space spring water before returning to the road.

With this century-old wild ginseng as the foundation, ordinary herbs can no longer enter his eyes, and in order to save time, he is too lazy to pick them again.

Along the hillside, turning a corner, Li Qingyun felt that no one could see him, so he used to show his ability to protect his body, ran out of the air, encountered a stone or ravine blocking the way, and jumped lightly, which was four or five meters. The toes were a little on the branches, and with the elastic force, they went out more than ten meters. Even if he encountered poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, he couldn't break his protective true qi at all, and he was shattered.

Li Qingyun heard that when the spiritual cultivation reached the third realm, there was a spell that could fly for a short time. But this matter is only in the legend, and when I asked my grandfather, he said that he had not seen it with his own eyes, and hearsay was not true. The third realm of martial cultivation can glide a distance from a high place, but it does not belong to the ability to fly.

This kind of thing can only be imagined, because he thinks he is running too slowly. But at his speed, if he is seen by the search and rescue team, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a monster, in the dense jungle, running faster than an ape, what else is there to complain about?

Occasionally, when there was a fork in the road, Li Qingyun jumped on the treetops, observed Hai Dongqing's position, and then adjusted his bearing. Sometimes, in order to cut corners, even cliffs are climbed.

Half an hour later, Li Qingyun was already standing on a treetop on the top of the mountain, took out his mobile phone and looked at the signal, it seemed to be not bad, occasionally there was a signal, and he wanted to make a call, but none of them succeeded. With a slight movement, the signal was gone.

The wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, and the location of the peak was not small, so it was impossible for Li Qingyun to see all the places at once. When Hai Dongqing saw Li Qingyun, he cheered, began to lower his position, and landed on a large stone in a flat area, fluttering his wings, pointing to the ground, as if there was something.
