It was the afternoon when the sun was at its hottest, but the rich shade of the trees blocked out most of the sun. Still, the climate is hot.

The crowd gathered to discuss the strategy of searching for Wang Qingyun.

"We are in this position now. Ling drew a simple coordinate location with a dagger on the ground, "When Wang Qingyun left, he walked in the opposite direction of ours, which is probably this position." ”

As he spoke, Ling drew an arrow on the ground with his dagger.

"But today, Yuanru and I have searched all this place, and when we get to a certain place, it will be broken. Basically no other traces were found in the back, not even traces of fighting and fleeing. So there are only two areas from here, the north and the south. ”

Ling delineated the scope into two areas in the diagram.

"The terrain in the south is complex and the drop is huge. And because of the sun's rays, it's even more desolate. And there is a cliff in the north, which is bottomless and is a dead end. I went to investigate with Wang Qingyun before, and he also knew. So I think it's more likely that he's going south, where there are a lot of trees, it's shading, it's good for hiding, but it's very hard to find. ”

Ling Yitong analyzed, and instantly sorted out the seemingly chaotic information in front of him in an orderly manner. And her analysis is well-founded, and everyone agrees with it.

"It's too big, can you divide the area, let's search separately?" Ling Chen frowned deeply.

The terrain in the south is complex and varied, and the area is vast, and there is lush vegetation and weeds, so it is too difficult to search. Ling Chen wanted to divide this place into several areas, and everyone would search separately, which would greatly improve the efficiency.

"No, I can't. We don't know much about the environment there, and we don't know what dangers exist inside. Moreover, if someone gets lost in it, it will be even more deadly. ”

Ling immediately objected, although she also knew that Ling Chen's purpose was to speed up efficiency and find Wang Qingyun faster. But this is risking more people's lives, and the risk is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Without further ado, let's go. ”

In the end, Ling Chen still felt that what Ling said made sense. Since we can't improve efficiency, we can only rely on everyone's harder work.

A group of people braved the scorching sun and shuttled through the dense jungle. After last night, the forest seemed quiet, with the occasional call of a few birds and beasts. Although I don't know why, at least it provides convenience for everyone, and the speed is much higher than usual.

"Brother, where are you?"

"Qingyun!"

"Wang Qingyun!"

At this time, there is nothing else to care about, if it alarms the demon beast, it doesn't matter, it is important to find someone.

But the truth always backfires, and there is no trace of reliability. There was no harvest for two days in a row, and everyone was already a little desperate, but Ling Chen didn't want to give up easily.

"That night, you dug out a dead man's self out of the dirt. Obviously, you are already at the end of the crossbow, but you still drag me alone and refuse to give up. ”

"I haven't even seen your shadow yet, so where is the reason to give up. Ling Chen muttered to himself.

Gather your mood again and keep looking.

"I'll go to the north and have a look, it's unlikely, but maybe I'll be lucky. Ling said suddenly.

"Let Ziqing go with you, it's not safe to be alone. Ling Chen's mood was a little low, and it could be seen that not finding anything for two consecutive days had hit him very hard.

"No, there shouldn't be any danger there, you follow

Continue to look here. After saying that, Ling went to the northern area alone, and the others still stayed here to search.

However, as the search lasted for the past two days, the doubts in Ling's heart grew bigger and bigger. thought that it was impossible to go to a dead end, in case Wang Qingyun went the opposite way, wanting to find a way to survive in a desperate situation. Then it also makes sense, but ordinary people don't make this choice.

With this thought in mind, Ling planned to try to verify it. Anyway, there is such a possibility, and if it happens, it will naturally be extremely lucky.

Sure enough, there were many traces of broken branches along the way, which were obviously left by people and beasts during the run. The hoof prints and human footprints he saw one after another made Ling more sure of his thoughts.

"Did he fall off the cliff?" Ling muttered in his heart, if so, what difference would there be between finding it and not finding it.

Ahead was the bottomless cliff, and below was another forest. There is a gap of nearly 100 zhang between the two, and if you fall from here, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

But a painted mark in front of me went straight to the bottom of the cliff, and there must have been some large object sliding down from here. It must have been the beast, but what about Wang Qingyun?

Ling looked at this from afar, and finally decided to walk over and take a look down.

I couldn't see anything clearly, and I was obscured by rocks and trees. There was a stone next to it, and Ling tried to step down. There has been no echo for a long time, which shows how deep this place is. A larger stone lay down again, and this time the stone hit several rocks, and the sound came back.

With such a steep terrain, if Wang Qingyun really fell, the possibility of survival would be almost gone. Feeling a little pity, Ling thought in his heart, he would bring Ling Chen and them over tomorrow to have a look. If you want to continue to search, you can only go down there to find the body. After another glance at the bottomless cliff, Ling was about to turn around and leave.

"Anyone?!"

Suddenly, a howl came from below the cliff, startling Ling Zhen.

A deep joy rose from the bottom of Ling's heart, and he didn't care about anything else, so he quickly knelt on the edge of the cliff and looked down. At the same time, he put his hands to his mouth and shouted below: "Wang Qingyun!"

"Ling, Ling!" I saw two shouts from below.

Ling burst into joy and laughed happily. At least Wang Qingyun is not dead, this is the best news.

Ling Xiang tried to probe forward further, so as to see Wang Qingyun's position clearly. But this did not work at all, and instead he fell a stone under his feet.

"How are you, is there anything wrong?" Helplessly, Ling could only confirm the following situation by shouting.

"Is there water?!" I think the difference between the two is not far away, and the shouting can be heard for a moment, and it will echo in the mountains for a moment.

When Wang Qingyun left, there was only food on his body, not a drop of water. It's the third day now, and I don't know how Wang Qingyun, who has no water, survives below.

Ling hurriedly took out his water bag from the Qiankun bag, glanced down, and then looked around. Finally, he took out a large circle of vines in the Qiankun bag. Tie the vine to the tether of the hydration bag and slowly lower it.

"I'll fish it for you. ”

Vines are everywhere in the jungle, and some are collected in a bag at leisure and used as rope when needed. After drying, these vines are tougher and more wear-resistant than ordinary hemp rope.

Because I don't know Wang Qingyun

In which position, so Ling put down the water bag little by little, tentatively looking for the position.

"It's going to go down!"

"To the left!"

"To the left!"

“......”

"It's enough!"

Under the cliff, Wang Qingyun was hanging in mid-air, riding a thigh-thick crooked neck tree under his buttocks. He tied half of his body to the tree with rattan to prevent himself from falling from it. It can be said that he was able to survive under the cliff because of this tree.

At this time, Wang Qingyun's face was dark, his eyes were even more high, and his eyeballs were densely covered with fine bloodshots. Sun spots of different colors have formed all over the face, and some places have been cracked and bleeding. There are layers of skin on the lips, which are rolled up high. At this time, he was already severely deprived of water, and he was about to be life-threatening.

If you look closely, you can see that there is not a single leaf left on the stubby crooked neck tree. In some places, there is not even the bark left. Because of the lack of water, Wang Qingyun had to nibble on leaves and bark to get water.

The moment he got the water bag, Wang Qingyun couldn't wait to pull out the cork and began to drink it in a big gulp. Although a lot of water flowed to his chest with the corners of his mouth, and although he was choked by the water, Wang Qingyun still did not stop. I tasted the water again without any taste, but I felt as if it was delicious and unmatched by anything else in the world.

There was a lot of water in the water bag, but Wang Qingyun still drank it all before he stopped his mouth. In fact, a lot of water flowed to his body, but Wang Qingyun couldn't manage it so much at that time.

Wiped the water stains on his body and the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, Wang Qingyun burped with satisfaction, and put the empty water bag into the Qiankun bag.

"Are you the only one?" After solving the urgent need, Wang Qingyun also began to think about how to get out of here.

"I'm going to tell them all to come! Don't move. After Ling finished speaking, he planned to leave here and go to the other side to find Ling Chen and them to come to the rescue.

"No need! you find some solid vines and put them down, I can climb up!" Although he didn't sleep for two consecutive nights, Wang Qingyun was extremely energetic at this time, and he didn't feel the slightest tiredness.

Ling spent more than half an hour finding three vines and putting them down along with the vine that had sent water before. The other end of the vine was tied to the tree, and it was so strong that it wouldn't fall apart at all. Moreover, the vines are all dry vines and fresh vines mixed together, which is not only more grippy, but also firmer and not easy to wear.

Laboriously untied all the vines wrapped around his body, Wang Qingyun first tied them firmly with one wrapped around his waist, and then grabbed the vines and began to climb up.

The whole person hung on the tree for three days, and his feet were vague and a little weak. Wang Qingyun could only move online little by little. When I feel a little conscious, I use my feet to climb the cliff wall with the help of the net, which is obviously much faster.

Although the distance was not far, it took half an hour. When he saw Wang Qingyun, Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help, and with the help of the power of the rattan, he pulled him up. Although Wang Qingyun's appearance really startled him, such a raunchy appearance did look very rough.

As soon as he came to the ground, Wang Qingyun fell down and gasped for breath. He was so tired that he didn't rest for three days, and he had to endure the sun and rain all the time. If you don't have water, you can only eat leaves and peel off bark. Despite the bitterness of the leaves and bark, he persevered until someone came to save him.

"It feels good to be alive!" Wang Qingyun grinned, his smile was about to spread to the roots of his ears, but he smiled very happily.
