Chapter 57: Into the Jungle

The place where Du Qingyun and Li Jing landed was on a large granite ground in the primeval forest of Shenniuling.

"Qingyun, look, the scenery here is so beautiful!" Li Jing pointed to the majestic mountains and said.

Du Qingyun looked in the direction of her finger, only to see the green waves of the mountains rolling, the white mist rising, the flying eagles and cranes stepping through the clouds, and the sound of rare birds and beasts coming from time to time, like a fairyland on earth.

"Well, it's beautiful!" Du Qingyun replied casually, facing this fairyland on earth, he couldn't be happy, because he looked around, basically there were cliffs, and there was no food or water source on it, and he would starve to death and die of thirst after a while.

"Why do you look unhappy, what are you thinking?" Li Jing asked.

"I'm wondering if we'll be able to stay here and drink the northwest wind until tomorrow afternoon!" Du Qingyun replied.

"Of course not, let's find our way down." Li Jing understood what he meant, and he didn't have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the scenery, so he turned around to see if there was a way down the mountain.

This granite is about 100 zhang high and about ten meters wide, but fortunately, the length is very long, stretching into the distance, Du Qingyun watched her run around on the granite with cliffs on three sides, she seemed to be very happy, and she was envious and jealous in her heart, why wasn't she afraid of heights?

"There's no way down the mountain around here, let's go that way!" Li Jing looked around the granite here, but found nothing.

"Good!" Du Qingyun nodded and followed her to the other side.

As the two walked and watched, the granite gradually narrowed, the narrowest point was only one meter, and there were thousands of cliffs next to them, and the two of them seemed to be walking on a huge blade.

Where is this like Shenniu Mountain, it seems more appropriate to call it Shendao Mountain!

Li Jing is okay, his face does not change color and his heart does not beat, and sometimes he jokes, Du Qingyun is not good, he tries not to look at the cliff next to the rock, but he always sees it occasionally, every time he sees the bottomless cliff, he feels dizzy, his feet are weak, if it weren't for Li Jing beside him, he would have climbed directly on the ground.

"Qingyun, what's wrong with you?" Li Jing saw that his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his legs were trembling from time to time, and he thought he was sick.

"It's okay, it's too high here!" Du Qingyun gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Haha, it turns out that you are afraid of heights, don't say it earlier, come, I'll hold your hand, you just follow me!" Li Jing said and stretched out her hand.

"Thank you!" Du Qingyun thanked her from the bottom of her heart, and immediately grabbed Li Jing's hand tightly and followed her.

Now, it became Li Jing exploring the way in front, and Du Qingyun was a follower behind him.

Du Qingyun also felt embarrassed, but there was no way, who called himself afraid of heights.

The two of them walked for about two or three hours, and the sun also rose, and became more and more scorching, and the sun made them dry and hot, thirsty and hungry.

Nima, if you go on like this, you will die of exhaustion before you go down the mountain!

Not only Du Qingyun thinks so, but Li Jing is also like this, and she is a girl, so she is not as good as a boy.

"Qingyun, I can't walk, or let's rest first." Although Li Jing said this, he didn't wait for Du Qingyun to agree, and the person sat on the stone.

Du Qingyun was helpless, so he had to stop and sit next to Li Jing.

"Ahh As soon as the two sat down, Du Qingyun accidentally saw the bottomless cliff on the edge of the stone, and his eyes were closed in fright, and his whole body trembled.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Li Jing's hand was still tightened by Du Qingyun, she simply stretched out her other hand, hugged Du Qingyun up, and coaxed him like a child, for fear that he would lose his shape and fall down.

"Uh, thank you!" Du Qingyun was comforted by Li Jing, only then did he feel a little better, turned his body obliquely, leaned on Li Jing, and no longer dared to look in the direction of the cliff.

"It's okay, what do you think we should do?" Li Jing asked.

"I have no choice but to keep going, this place is so high, there shouldn't be a way down the mountain." Du Qingyun replied.

"Well, let's move on!" After Li Jing finished speaking, he pulled Du Qingyun up and continued to walk forward.

The two of them walked and stopped and walked under the scorching sun, and at dusk, they finally saw that there were no more granite in front of them, but shrubs in front of them.

"Qingyun, look, there are bushes in front of you!" Li Jing was pleasantly surprised.

"Ah, really, let's move on." Du Qingyun looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, low shrubs and flowers began to grow on the road ahead.

The further you go, the more flowers and shrubs there are, and then the cliffs on both sides of the road are obscured.

"Finally there are no cliffs!" Du Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes no longer had to stare at the front, he could look around.

"There's no cliff anywhere, it's just blocked by these shrubs and flowers." Li Jing smiled.

"Uh, that's, thank you just now!" After Du Qingyun relieved himself, he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed when he saw that his hand was still holding Li Jing's hand, and quickly let go of her hand to express his gratitude.

"No, you lead the way, it's up to you." After Du Qingyun let go of his hand, Li Jing actually felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Du Qingyun then walked in front of Li Jing and led Li Jing to start walking, the shrubs on both sides became taller and wider, and finally came to a forest on the top of a mountain.

"It's safe now!" Du Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that there were no cliffs on either side, and his mood was relaxed.

"Yes, but I'm hungry!" Li Jing said that her stomach was growling, the two of them had been hungry for a day, and they didn't feel obvious when they walked just now, and they would be so hungry as soon as they stopped.

Du Qingyun was not like this, hungry and thirsty, tired and sleepy.

"You take a break here, I'll find you something to drink and eat first." Du Qingyun looked at the tired Li Jing and said very distressedly.

"No, let's go together." Li Jing shook her head firmly, she didn't want Du Qingyun to go out alone to find food and water, she was waiting here.

"Okay, let's go together." Du Qingyun was moved in his heart, thinking that he was not at ease when he left Li Jing here alone, so he nodded.

Du Qingyun used a dagger to cut two wrist-thick branches, sharpened the tips of the trees into the shape of spear tips, which could be used as crutches to explore the way, and could also be used as weapons for self-defense, took one in his hand, handed one to Li Jing, and identified the direction according to the size of the canopy and the growth of the moss, and walked forward.

At this time, they had entered the depths of the primeval forest of Shenniu Mountain, surrounded by towering trees, and the moonlight in the sky had been blocked by the dense canopy, and occasionally a few moon shadows swayed from time to time, as if ghosts were swimming around; From time to time, the sounds of various beasts and insects were heard around, which made people sound creepy.

Du Qingyun was worried about Li Jing, holding a wooden stick in one hand and Li Jing's hand in the other.

If it was in normal times, Li Jing would definitely be intimidated, but I don't know why, with Du Qingyun by her side, she was not so scared, but felt a little funny.

But Du Qingyun understood that in the strange deep forest under the night, there was an unknown danger waiting for them, which made him feel cold.
