Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 9 Another World
Everyone understands that the route goes downward, and the water flows downward, so the further down you go, the more likely you are to find the water source.
The afternoon sun was a little hot, but Ling Chen and the two of them, who were shuttling in the dense forest, could still feel a trace of shade, but it was still a little cold in the middle of spring. The bird's call is intense, with an unknown bug occasionally echoing it. In short, this forest is not as silent as death, but full of life and vitality. Thinking about it this way, in fact, the so-called Ten Thousand Ancient Demon Forbidden is actually just a primeval jungle in addition to making the spiritual power disappear. The danger of changing color that makes people talk about it is nothing more than that, or it has not yet been encountered.
From time to time, Ling Chen would lean down, his ears close to the ground and listen intently. Then determine the direction and move on. Along the way, Ling Chen made marks on the trunks of the trees to avoid getting lost. But this is just a layer of insurance, along the way, Ling Chen used the rusty sword to cut down I don't know how many plants, and forcibly opened up a way. As long as you are not blind, you can find it back according to the map.
The soil under his feet was already a little soft and wet, and he could already see slightly dented footprints when he stepped on it. Along the way, Ling Chen was explaining to Wang Qingyun what the meaning of what he had done along the way, in such a primitive dense forest, it was not enough for him to know how to survive alone. Ling Chen needs to instill in them all the methods of survival in the wild as much as possible in the shortest possible time, and he can't relax at any moment.
"The water source should be around here, let's look around. Be careful, don't go too far. Ling Chen rubbed the mud pills on his hands and said to Wang Qingyun.
"Okay. Wang Qingyun answered, and began to look around for water.
Ling Chen walked to the other side, looking around. It hadn't rained for two days, but the area was so humid in part because the forest was so water-locking and the sun didn't shine here, so it was understandably wet. The main thing is that there is a water source here, and there should be a lot of water.
After carefully searching all the way, but still unable to find a water source, Ling Chen began to wonder if he had made a mistake. But there was no problem with the theory at all, and Ling Chen reviewed what he saw and heard along the way over and over again. Could it be that the truth is a lie? Ling Chen was suspicious for a while. On the left is a natural barrier of vines, and the green leaves are wrapped around the rhizomes, like a wall.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this?" Ling Chen had a puzzle in his heart.
With doubts in his heart, Ling Chen planned to climb over the dense web woven by vines. Taking out the rusty sword, Ling Chen began to cut through the thorns and thorns all the way. The sword looked rusty, but it was still unusually sharp. It didn't take much time, Ling Chen only opened up a small path, enough to squat and enter and exit at will. After some effort, Ling Chen finally passed through this green leaf barrier, and then finally heard the sound of the water. Unexpectedly, this layer of vines has such a magical soundproofing ability, so that Ling Chen, who is close at hand, can not hear the singing of this stream, nature is indeed magical.
The stream was not wide, but it flowed very quickly, just a few steps in front of this vine wall. Ling Chen made a patrol according to his usual practice, and there were no signs of animal activity in the vicinity, but Ling Chen was still very careful. After secretly observing for a while, he made sure that there was no danger before going to the stream to fetch water.
The water source is clear and looks clean. But Ling Chen knew that if there was any animal excreted feces in the upper reaches, it would be difficult to distinguish the parasites inside. The water source in the wild still needs to be boiled before it can be drunk normally. Taking out the water bag, Ling Chen filled it one by one, and searched under the stones near the stream to see if there were any traces of fish and shrimp. But slightly disappointed, did not find. But this didn't affect anything, Ling Chen walked back with the water source, preparing to return to the place agreed with Wang Qingyun to meet, and then go back to the camp. It's still early in the morning, and there's still a lot of time. The distance between the camp and here is not very far, about half an hour's distance, and it is much easier to get water here later.
Returning to the place agreed at the beginning, Ling Chen greeted Wang Qingyun and prepared to go back to the camp.
"Dust. Wang Qingyun's face was a little unpleasant, and he called Ling Chen.
"What's wrong?" Ling Chen turned around, only to find that Wang Qingyun's face was a little ugly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Wang Qingyun was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, but Ling Chen didn't urge, just waited for him. After a while, Wang Qingyun sighed and said, "Come with me." ”
So, Ling Chen followed Wang Qingyun in the other direction. Wang Qingyun should have discovered something, but he was hesitant to tell Ling Chen. So Ling Chen is not in a hurry, whether he is willing to say that it is his freedom.
There was nothing to say all the way, and it seemed that things were a little grim. Usually Wang Qingyun is hip-hop and non-stop, but now he doesn't say a word, and the time is abnormal.
After walking for several miles of mountain roads, Ling Chen was a little confused. Didn't you tell him not to go far, he had walked so far, and this was obviously not the place to find water.
"It's right ahead. Wang Qingyun said a word and continued to walk forward. Finally stopped in front of a small, gloomy cave.
Ling Chen turned his head to look at Wang Qingyun, his face full of doubts. Wang Qingyun exhaled heavily and said, "Let's go." ”
With that, he went into the narrow cave alone.
Ling Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, and there were obviously new traces of friction at the entrance of the cave, indicating that Wang Qingyun had already been here before. Without thinking too much, Ling Chen followed Wang Qingyun's figure into the cave together.
The cave is not high, Ling Chen and the others can only hunch their bodies to walk forward, and it is not spacious, one person is spacious enough, and the two of them are a little dwarfed. The interior of the cave is indeed unusually damp, covered with all kinds of moss, and unusually slippery. There was still seepage water dripping from time to time on the stone wall, and the dirt under his feet had become a mud pond, accompanied by a rotten stench. The environment is really bad enough, and I don't know how Wang Qingyun found here, let alone what he found.
Continuing to walk a little further, Ling Chen could clearly feel that the moisture in the cave had slowly disappeared, and his feet were already stones instead of silt. The entire cave has been completely replaced by stones, and there is no sign of life to be found. The cave was very dark, and he could barely see a glimmer of light, and Ling Chen could see Wang Qingyun's figure clearly in front of him. After walking for nearly a hundred meters, the two of them finally finished the cave and turned to a stone chamber.
However, the stone chamber of four or five square meters was empty except for a slightly raised stone platform. There is no sign of human activity here, but it must have been inhabited a long time ago. Ling Chen looked at Wang Qingyun and waited for him to explain.
"Come here. Wang Qingyun nodded and motioned for Ling Chen to walk over to him.
Ling Chen heard the words and walked over.
Wang Qingyun pulled out a stone in front of him from a crack in the rock, and a small exit appeared in front of the two of them. The stone was very heavy, and Wang Qingyun carefully placed it on the ground. The entire stone chamber was also unusually bright because of this exit, and the dust in the air could be seen.
"Look out. Wang Qingyun said.
When Ling Chen heard this, he came to this exit and planned to look out.
A turbid, blazing aura mixed with the smell of wilderness swept towards Ling Chen, almost suffocating Ling Chen. Towering trees dozens of feet tall rise from the ground, covering the entire sky. It was as if the sky was shrouded in dark clouds all year round, and there was not the slightest sunlight in sight. Dim, oppressive and dreary. Birds and animals can be seen everywhere here, devouring and killing, hunting and being hunted everywhere in this world. The breath of blood and corruption seems to be able to travel thousands of miles, filling every inch of the corner, this is a blood-red and filthy world. Ling Chen could feel the fluctuation of spiritual power, it was the collision of attributes. But it is similar to the spiritual power attributes they know and use, but it is diametrically opposed. The top predator in heaven and earth, the powerhouse of the royal realm who belongs to the power of law. Ling Chen also saw it, it was a strong man who occupied the mountain as the king, and each ruled the same place. Just one chain of order swept through the thousands, and there were no bones left. Here is the most primitive law of survival, the flesh eats the strong.
They were able to use spiritual power in the forbidden land, and they could also use even more powerful law power, which greatly subverted Ling Chen's perception. Originally, I thought that the so-called Eternal Demon Forbidden was just a wild place that had never evolved since eons. The protection it relies on is only because when people enter it, they dissipate all their mana. Unexpectedly, it was a different scene. It's like an ordinary person who has come to the world of cultivators and tried in vain to conquer this region, which is simply a fool's dream. And all that remains here are fierce and brutal beasts, without a trace of human touch. A beast that will only spend its life in brutal slaughter. Everything is understood, no wonder this place is called the Eternal Demon Forbidden, no wonder it has to be ranked first. The so-called wild land, the ancient demon forbidden where wild beasts are rampant, they have only touched the edge.
Ling Chen's psychology was shocked beyond measure, and the whole person stayed in front of him. What they will face in the future is such a world. If you haven't set foot in this forbidden place yet, it's probably the best option to stay away from here, maybe the exit is on the other side.
Today's news, in general, is good. I recognized my position in such an environment and what kind of world I was facing. and planning for the future, that is, the future of escape. In short, to stay away from this demonic land, you can't set foot a single step.
Ling Chen didn't know when Wang Qingyun blocked this exit, just one step away, the outside world was turned upside down. What kind of horror world is that, or Shura Purgatory.
Wang Qingyun patted Ling Chen's shoulder, who was a little distracted, and said with a little amusement: "The soul has been hooked away?"
Perhaps seeing Ling Chen's gaffe, Wang Qingyun was a little happy. Although he was really shocked when he first saw this scene. This is a feeling of watching a rookie as a passerby, and everyone will feel very happy, let alone Wang Qingyun.
"Let's go. Ling Chen reluctantly pulled up a smile, turned to Wang Qingyun and said.
"Don't tell them about today's events just yet. After a pause, Ling Chen said suddenly.
"Yes. Wang Qingyun nodded, and his tone was full of sensible looks.
The two men left the place again, leaving only a few dirty mud shoe prints in the stone room, indicating that someone had been here before.
