Chapter Seventy-Two: A Exploration of Heavenly Cloud Peak (2)

Walking in the dense forest where there is no daylight, if you are not careful, you will encounter such a situation, people don't know why, it is called a ghost hitting the wall. In fact, this is because there is a slight difference in the length of the two feet, and there are similar trees around you, so you can't tell the direction clearly, so you will go around in circles.

Rest for a while, and change to Xia Qingyun to take the lead. After walking for a while, she looked up at the treetops above her head and carefully observed the direction in which the leaves were growing. Stop-and-go, the speed is slow, but the direction is not wrong.

The terrain began to rise, and the air gradually became cooler, Xia Qingyun untied the gourd on his waist and drank a few sips of spring water, and handed it to Zhiqiu behind him.

Zhiqiu poured a big mouthful, and the exhaustion in her body was suddenly reduced by half. What a miraculous spring! She has helped Sihong Bowen scrub his wounds with spring water many times, and has seen the wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. I don't know where Xia Qingyun got it, but she knows that everyone has their own secrets, so she didn't ask.

As she walked, Xia Qingyun suddenly stopped, and a strange feeling enveloped her body and mind.

"Zhiqiu, do you feel that something is wrong?"

The mountain breeze blows slowly, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other makes the surroundings seem strangely quiet. That's right! It's just so quiet! It is said that there should be a lot of birds and beasts in this deep mountain and old forest, but they walked for a long time, and they didn't even see a wild bee!

After being reminded by her, Zhiqiu suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, and she had goosebumps all over her body. She clenched the dagger in her hand, vigilantly watching the movement around her.

There was a soft "click" sound of a branch breaking, and the two of them turned around at the same time. Staring into the depths of the forest. A swift black shadow flashed, and the speed was amazing.

The two exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and quickened their pace through the forest.

Whatever it was, they had to find a place to stay before dark, or they wouldn't know what would jump out of the strange jungle at night.

Although no one spoke, they all felt as if a pair of eyes were secretly watching their every move.

Finally, they made their way out of the forest. But the situation in front of them made the two of them gasp at the same time.

Not far ahead. A bottomless ravine splits the mountain in two, like a huge axe falling from the sky, splitting the entire peak.

The ravine is only four or five zhang wide, and it is bottomless. Cold air blows up from the bottom. Like a giant beast with its open mouth.

Look to the other side. The forest is lush and green, and a few old pine trees covered with pine cones can be faintly seen, and their branches are swaying with the mountain wind. A few dazzling golden rays of light reflected in the sunlight!

Xia Qingyun rubbed his eyes, looked at them carefully, and felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. It turned out that the pine cones on the tree also mutated, and the edges like scales all turned into shiny golden yellow!

Thinking of the rice grains that produce golden rice in the Taiping pit, it is very likely that these pine trees were also influenced by the tea tree to produce golden pine cones. This shows that there must be an ancient tea tree of Taiping Houkui growing on the opposite mountain!

But how can we get over this abyss? The two of them are at a loss!

The sky suddenly became dark, a thick cloud obscured the sun, and the air suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, there were several low roars from the dense forest behind him, and a huge black shadow walked out of it, staring fiercely at the two humans in front of him with dark green eyes.

It was a swarthy mountain leopard, surprisingly large, more than three times the size of an ordinary mountain leopard! The sharp finger hook on the leopard's claw scratched the deep marks of the mountain stone, and the thick tail swept lightly, and the thick trunk of the bowl broke in response!

Zhiqiu jumped in front of Xia Qingyun in one step, and the dagger was across her chest. Seeing such a huge beast for the first time in her life, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat. However, she kept her mission in mind even more, no matter what could happen to Xia Qingyun!

The black panther fell to the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders, brewing an attack, and suddenly let out a low roar, and pounced less than a foot in front of the two!

Xia Qingyun dragged Zhiqiu back a few steps, and suddenly found that there was no road behind him, and a few more steps would be an abyss.

She secretly complained in her heart, why did she encounter strange beasts every time she wanted to find the tea tree?

She can still dodge to the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion alone, but now there is Zhiqiu, she is desperate to stand in front of her, and she must not leave her alone. It's really not good, and I can only take Zhiqiu into the treasure pavilion together.

There was a roar, and the panther's thick hind limbs kicked the ground and pounced on them again.

Zhiqiu's eyes were quick, and he pushed Xia Qingyun to the right, and he quickly rolled to the left, and then bounced up, swinging his dagger and piercing the black panther's lower abdomen.

The black panther missed, and was almost cut through the stomach by the dagger, and immediately became furious, turned around, and waved his claws to grab Zhiqiu.

A man and a leopard fought in the narrow clearing on the edge of the abyss.

Tossing and turning, Zhiqiu flexibly dodged the black panther's attacks again and again, but she couldn't hurt it in the slightest. The panther's huge body lifted the sand and gravel from the ground, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

Just as Zhiqiu jumped up from the ground again, the thick leopard tail swept towards him, and there was no way to avoid it, Zhiqiu's brain went blank, and she instinctively raised her right hand.

The tail tip was brought over, and the dagger fell to the ground in response, and Zhiqiu clutched her right wrist in pain. At this time, the panther seized the opportunity and pounced again. Once the claws landed on her body, Zhiqiu would definitely be torn to pieces by it.

Xia Qingyun was in a hurry, so he rushed forward without thinking about it. What was surprising was that the black panther seemed to be afraid of Xia Qingyun, and hurriedly turned around in mid-air, and then it lost its balance and slammed into the ground.

The huge inertia pushed the black panther's body into Zhiqiu, and then pushed Zhiqiu to slide into the abyss together. The rocks flew down, and a person and a leopard fell together!

"Zhiqiu!" Xia Qingyun screamed and threw himself to the edge of the cliff, and when the dust settled, he saw Zhiqiu being hung by a small tree growing on the cliff wall, and his left hand was tightly climbing the rock crevice, struggling to support.

"Zhiqiu! Hold on, I'll find a way to save you! ”

She flashed into the treasure pavilion, didn't bother to talk to Qingmei and the others, found a few thick hemp ropes and twisted them together, tied one end to the giant tree on the edge of the cliff, and threw the other end down the cliff wall.

Zhiqiu's right hand was injured and she couldn't use her strength at all. The fingers of his left hand were digging into the rock crevice, and once he let go, he would inevitably crush the small tree and fall straight down. And the roots of the small tree beneath her have been exposed to the rock crevices, and it seems that it will not be able to support her weight.

"Zhiqiu, grab the rope! I'll pull you up! ”

"No! My hand is injured, Miss Xia, you leave me alone, watch out for that panther! ”

The black panther has long disappeared at this moment, and I don't know if it has fallen into the abyss. But Xia Qingyun must not watch Zhiqiu fall.

She gathered the rope, tied it firmly around her waist, and plunged down.

With a bang, his body slammed into the rock, and a bloody stain suddenly appeared. She didn't feel any pain at all, and all her attention was on Zhiqiu.

Hold on to the rock wall to stabilize your body, and reach out and grab Zhiqiu's wrist.

"Miss Xia, if the rope can't hold the weight of the two of us, if it breaks, both of them will die! Leave me alone! (To be continued......)
