After reezing for half an hour, everyone also regained their energy, let Zhang Lijun and Gan Bao climb the platform, Jian Junshan and Le Shouchun hung on the platform, Lu Xiong pulled the two, Chu Jun and Gan Bao stabilized Zhang Lijun, and Zhang Lijun took Ling Yun's hunting bow to guard and support Ling Yun.

Ling Yun was the first to set out to explore the way, and several times he was almost knocked into the swamp by birds and poisonous snakes, but he was narrowly cracked by Ling Yun's hunting knife and Zhang Lijun's bow and arrow.
Walking fifty meters away, finding a place where he could stand and rest, calling Zhang Lijun over, and continuing to guard and support him, it took six times, seven people opened a long line, each with a foothold, and Ling Yun finally stood on a small field.
After searching around, there was no danger, so a few people came over one by one along the route, all of them frightened and afraid.
"Chunzi and Xiaobao went to the cliff to get some firewood, Ah Jun's Ah Xiong and the two were on guard, Junzi answered, and Shanzi and I went to get food." Ling Yun pointed not far away, five or six meters high, where there were a few half-withered trees.
By the time Lingyun got two big fish, several people had already lit a bonfire and dug a few stone bowls to boil water; Ling Yun handed over all the fish to Shanzi to tidy up, and sat next to the campfire by himself, "Hehe, why are you listless?" There's good news and bad news, I don't know which one you want to hear first? ”
Except for Junzi and Shanzi, everyone replied in unison: "Good news! ”
"The good news is that we have already walked through the most dangerous sections, and there is not much trouble in the rest of the journey, so hurry up and eat and drink enough, rest for a while, and be able to get to the exit before dark today, and get out of trouble tomorrow morning." Ling Yun said lightly.
Everyone was excited and a little more energetic, and no one even asked what the bad news was, and Ling Yun didn't plan to say it.
After eating and drinking, Ling Yun asked each person to get a wooden stick that was arm thick and three meters long; Try the stick in your hand yourself, it's very strong; After trying the stick, Gan Bao couldn't help but ask what the bad news was.
"Huh! I thought people didn't want to know? Seeing that all the people were sideways in their ears, Ling Qu smiled slightly, "There is a shallow swamp in front, there are many poisons, not every poison can be driven away by the poison of the arrow snake, and there are soft mud pools all over the place, if you fall into it, you can't climb out by yourself." ”
"Ahh So can we still get out? Gan Bao was a little deflated.
Lu Xiong slapped him on the head, "If you don't remember it for a long time, Brother Ling will definitely be able to take us out if he can take us in." ”
"Yes, Brother Ling, then what should we do next? Is it hard to have anything to do with this stick? Zhang Lijun was messing with the stick, but he couldn't see anything famous.
"This stick is everyone's weapon to save your life, don't lose it; I'll show you how to use it," Ling Yun said as he raised the stick and poked it on the ground a few times, "Simple, right?" Use sticks to drive away poisons and test the soft mud, and if someone gets stuck in the soft mud, you must first beat the stick horizontally, and then grab the stick that someone else reaches out and drag you out of the mud. Got it, right? But it's also the first time I've walked through the old quagmire. ”
Several people looked at him in surprise, they all wanted to speak and stopped, Ling Yun was a little embarrassed: "People in the mountains will use this thing, but it's the first time I've used it in this place, don't underestimate this wooden stick, there are many wonderful uses, think about it yourself." You can also come here alone in the future! ”
"Brother Ling, let us go, I don't have the ability to do this, when I see those disgusting things, my heart is furious." Gan Bao was really scared, if he had known that there was a lot of danger here, especially those little insects and snakes, they would not have died in the skin ditch.
"Brother Ling, let's go quickly, get out of this ghost place quickly." Le Shouchun didn't want to stay here anymore, in fact, everyone wanted to leave Jiapigou as soon as possible, and Ling Yun didn't want to come to this place, he was also forced to do so.
Several of them all looked like ghosts, but a few of them were more like ghosts, not to mention their ragged clothes, and their faces were terribly dirty, only Ling Yun was slightly better.
"Take the sticks well, don't speak, each person is three meters apart, and the tension army is the last, follow me." Ling Yun took the wooden stick and walked into the swamp first.
The journey went quite smoothly, and Ling Yun showed up to demonstrate the role of the wooden stick for them, that is, he fell into the quagmire, relying on Chu Jun, who was following him, to pull him out with the wooden stick in his hand, making him covered in black mud; Continuing on, he used his sticks to chase away a few arrows and snakes that wanted to shoot at him, as well as a few black minks that were faint from hunger.
When everyone finally stepped on the dry and hard black mud ground, several people were about to cry.
Ling Yun hurriedly asked everyone to find firewood, and burned it very strongly, so that everyone stripped off all the clothes on their bodies, and roasted all the clothes, weapons and people against the fire, the temperature rose sharply, and some gray-white small insects fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, a large circle of gray-white powder was formed around the fire, and the entanglement in everyone's hearts could not be expressed in words, if they hadn't seen Ling Yun do it once, they would have wanted to die.
Ling Yun took out the snake bile water, and everyone took turns to drink a big sip, and everyone came back to their senses from the bitter taste, "Okay, there will be basically no danger in the future, this place is not far from the exit." Everyone looked around to see if there were any caves on the cliffs that were suitable for the night, and if there was a clean water source. ”
Several people shook off the dry mud, put on their clothes, put on their weapons, and walked towards the cliff; Ling Yun swept the powder away with his shirt, sat on the ground softly, closed his eyes, he had indeed been too tired in the past two days, and his spirit was a little unbearable; Zhang Lijun glanced at Gan Bao, who was walking at the end, Gan Bao looked back and saw Ling Yun's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and gently walked back to the fire, while watching the fire, while guarding Ling Yun, Ling Yun just nodded slightly, and then did not react.
Several people also saw this scene, and their footsteps couldn't help but relax a lot, and they silently set off to find the rock kiln.
Ling Yun was really asleep, and when he woke up, it was already slightly dark, and in addition to Gan Bao, Chu Jun was also there.
"Brother Ling, you wake up, Brother Jun, they have found a big cliff cave, there is still a clean water source in it, hurry up and put on your clothes and go over, wash first, and sleep when you are full, but there is a panic in this place." Gan Bao finally waited for Ling Yun to wake up, if Chu Jun hadn't come over, he would have gone to find someone behind Ling Yun's back.
"Brother Ling, let's hurry up!" Chu Jun was already carrying firewood, he and Gan Bao were still dirty, and he was more anxious than anyone else.
Ling Yun put on his clothes, he was uncomfortable all over, and followed Chu Jun away; Gan Bao poured some water on the fire, extinguished the fire, and hurried after the two of them.
The temperature in the cave was very high, Zhang Lijun and the others lit three fires, how deep they were, they couldn't see it for a while, they could hear a lot of "ding dong" sounds, like playing a tune, it was refreshing, Ling Yun woke up in an instant, "Good place!" ”
Ling Yun took a deep breath, and there was a hint of ethereal smell in the air.
"Brother Ling, I found this." Le Shouchun raised his head triumphantly, and he didn't even turn his barbecue, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he ruined the overall atmosphere.
Ling Yun sighed unconsciously, "Let's wash first!" ”
Le Shouchun didn't look right, so he quickly turned his head and concentrated on roasting his meat; Zhang Lijun took Ling Yun and the three of them to a small waterhole that could be illuminated by the light.
"Brother Ling, don't dislike it, this is living water!" Zhang Lijun whispered to Ling Yun, and his voice still echoed in the cave.
Ling Yun was very surprised, no wonder the sound of dripping water here was so long and beautiful; Gan Bao didn't have this idea, and went directly into the pool, "Ah! It's so cold! ”
The laughter in the cave echoed, Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, and also entered the pool with his clothes, and Chu Jun was pulled down by Gan Bao before him and fell into the pool.
When the three of them had finished washing, they stripped off all their clothes, sat down around the fire, and began to eat.
Ling Yun woke up again, the three bonfires were still flickering, the faint sky light shone in, the sky was already bright, but no one came to disturb him, let him sleep until he woke up naturally.
After a brief look around, Shanzi and Xiaoxiong were guarding the front and back ends of the cave, and the others were still sleeping, Ling Yun stood up quietly, carefully passed by a few people who were sleeping, walked to Lu Xiong's side, and whispered: "Xiaoxiong, you go to sleep for a while, I'll take a look." ”
"Brother Ling, I just changed it. Are you going to sleep again? Lu Xiong said seriously.
Ling Yun didn't force him either, "Okay, wait for them to wake up, let them have a good rest, and talk about it tonight, I'll go around first." ”
Ling Yun walked out of the cave, surrounded by a deep thatch, occasionally a few trees that were not too tall in it, less than the trees on the cliff, and looking southwest, they could see the marsh with polka dots, which was where they had walked.
The further north he went, the more and more trees there became, and when he reached the exit, a mountain forest was formed, in which all kinds of weeds and shrubs were mixed in, and Ling Yun had to go through it himself to determine a good route to take.
Lingyun walked north for half an hour, reached the edge of the mountain forest, and carefully lurked into the woods.
The two guys who were hiding together were chatting in a whisper, "After waiting for two days, no one came out, it shouldn't be able to come out, and few people can get out of the sandwich ditch!" ”
"Yes! The most powerful hunters in the mountains and forests don't dare to go in casually, I don't think eighty percent of them can't get out, and I don't know what kind of heart those who have to guard us, there are not many people left in the stockade! ”
"Be quiet, don't let the eldest brother hear, if it weren't for the reward of those few people, no one would listen to him at all."
These shrimp soldiers and crab generals didn't know much, Ling Yun walked through the woods within a radius of several miles, and didn't find too many ambushes, so he quietly retreated, this time it should be easy to get rid of the people chasing and go back to Qinglong Mountain directly.
