Volume II, Chapter One Hundred and One
After entering the dense forest, there is no obvious road on the ground, but although the body of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon is not large, the height of the back is also nearly two meters, and the broad shoulders and the natural bone armor that protect the head and neck can open up a path in the dense forest where the shrubs are not thick. It's just that sometimes hitting a nearby tree will cause the snow layer on the top of the tree to collapse locally, and a large amount of snow will fall. Fortunately, Shi Leiyin will use various methods to avoid the snow ball falling on the route before it falls, otherwise it will inevitably be complained about eccentricity by the two little guys sitting on the ice armor herbivorous dragon in the back, after all, the head under Shi Leiyin is open, causing the snow layer at the top of the tree to collapse, and most of the falling snow will fall right behind him, that is, Zird and Jieliya.
While blowing a strong wind with his tentacles, blowing the falling ceiling snow away again, and controlling the direction of the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon, Shi Leiyin felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in controlling his body, which also meant that he was not only his body, but even his soul consciousness began to deviate more and more from the direction of human beings tending to super slimes.
Sighing that he was going farther and farther in the direction of the non-human, Shi Leiyin not only did not stop moving, but also single-mindedly controlled a second-order snow slime in front of him. This snow slime was accidentally discovered by Shi Leiyin when he was investigating the situation in the morning, and he originally thought it was just an ordinary second-order slime, but Shi Leiyin was surprised to find that this was a mutated snow slime, and the direction of the mutation was actually high-speed movement and snow shuttle. Without hesitation, Shi Leiyin directly took over the control of the slime's body, letting it be his scout in front, and Shi Leiyin had already separated a clone and quickly rushed to the side of the snow slime, ready to devour. Instinct told him that he could get some of the slime's abilities by devouring it. However, because there is no guarantee of 100% ability, Shi Leiyin also plans to use his clone to control the snow slime before finding a better scout. After all, this slime's abilities are very useful in the tundra and snowfields.
In order to familiarize himself with the situation of the dense forest and the lack of roads, Shi Leiyin asked the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon to advance while eating, and only walked less than half the distance before in half a day. Halfway through, Shi Leiyin also spotted the second wave of adventurers passing by through his scout, and although he knew that those adventurers were not chasing him, Shi Leiyin still noted the direction of their movements, and controlled his mount to avoid contact between the two sides. The adventurer who was killed by Shui Jing showed amazing greed when he saw Shui Jing, which made Shi Leiyin know that for those adventurers, Shui Jing's value may be higher than that of Lily of the Valley, so try to avoid the risks that can be avoided.
There is a snow slime that is basically equivalent to a doppelganger to investigate the situation, and Shi Leiyin's grasp of the road conditions is much better than the day before. The doppelganger is different from directly using telekinesis to control the low-level slime, and can have a very long control distance, although the movement of Shi Leiyin's body is very slow, the snow slime of the doppelganger control zhì has already crossed the range of activity of the group of giant antelope and reached the edge of the dense forest.
As Shi Leiyin expected, the place where this dense forest was located was a relatively safe area. Because the doppelganger found that the edge of the jungle was actually a huge fault cliff.
This is not to say that this fault cliff is very high, in fact, this cliff is only a little higher than the snowy layer of the treetops of the dense forest, and it may not be more than twenty meters high. But this fault cliff is very long, and this length makes Shi Leiyin directly think of the dividing line before entering the dense forest, both of which are the same at the end of the line that cannot be seen at both ends at a glance.
In addition to the amazing length, the reason why this cliff is called a fault by Shi Leiyin is that it is very smooth, the cliff wall of nearly 20 meters high is completely at a right angle of 90 degrees to the ground, and there is a layer of ice on the cliff wall, whether it is smoothness or reflectivity, it can be comparable to a mirror, at least, Shi Leiyin's doppelganger can see his own appearance clearly through guò reflection.
The place where the doppelganger goes is smooth, which means that it is a dead end. After considering the possibility of climbing up, Shi Leiyin decisively chose to let the clone look along the cliff to find a junction to go up or pass through. The herd of giant antelope definitely didn't look like a long-lasting population in the forest, so there would definitely be a way for a creature of that size to cross the cliff, or at least a steep slope at a sufficient angle to provide them with a downward spiral.
I have to say that the mutant snow slime that Shi Leiyin found this time was really helpful, moving at high speed with snow shuttle, Shi Leiyin directly controlled this slime to move on the snow layer at the top of the tree. The body of the second-order slime is moving at high speed, but it will not lead to the collapse of the snow layer at the top of the tree. Without the shelter of the trees, the clone soon found the nearest entrance to the guò cliff.
It is not entirely accurate to say that it is the entrance, it is a collapsed cliff. The cliff, which was originally a 90-degree straight cliff, collapsed with a length of nearly 100 meters, forming a slope of nearly 40 degrees in the direction of the dense forest. On the side of the slope near the dense forest, you can clearly see a large number of trees hidden by mud and rocks, and there are scattered hoof prints of several large animals on them. It was clear that this was the entrance to the dense forest from the world above the cliffs.
Such an entrance made Shi Leiyin very happy, because the slope angle of this slope is so low that even a four-legged wurm with a low center of gravity like the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon can climb to the top of the cliff through the slope of Guò. You know, although the height of those antelope is comparable to that of elephants on the earth, they are still similar to antelopes in size, and they are good at climbing and jumping at first glance. If that was the case, Shi Leiyin would have no choice but to give up riding the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon and move forward on foot or by turning into a mount.
The entrance found by the clone was also a short distance from the position where the clone reached the cliff, so Shi Leiyin directly controlled the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon under him to change the direction of movement. At the same time, Shi Lei Yin controlled the clone to return in his direction, this section of the journey is not too long for the snow slime controlled by the doppelganger, but for the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon that is eating and advancing, it is enough time to walk for half a day, Shi Lei Yin plans to set a camping spot near the entrance tonight, and then enter the cliff tomorrow.
Due to the high-speed movement of the snow slime requires the cooperation of the snow to exert the maximum efficiency, the clone is the snow layer on the top of the tree, and when it is moving forward with all its might, it took almost an hour to return to the vicinity of Shi Leiyin, but because Shi Leiyin's current form is not convenient for fusion, Shi Leiyin commanded the clone to continue to explore the way in front as a scout to ensure the safety of the way.
