Chapter 226: Death Valley
Mu Siqing sighed and said with some pain: "You should know what kind of pain it is for a person, especially a woman, to have no feelings, in addition, your brother already has a sweetheart, he told me a few days ago, I can't do the kind of thing that breaks up people's shortcomings." ”
Having said this, Xu Dong completely understood, it turned out that Mu Siqing was not only because of "painlessness", but also really fell out of love, and under such a double blow, it was really not surprising that he would think of death.
It's the fat guy, hearing Mu Siqing say this, he suddenly became overjoyed, Xue'er, we have hope!
Looking at the fat man's dirty face, Xu Dong's anger didn't come to one place, what was the fat guy thinking in his heart, Xu Dong knew it very well, but this matter would be as simple as that?
Not to mention that he just wants to help Mu Siqing, even if it is Qiao Yanxue, I am afraid she will not say to the fat man, if the fat man wants to like a girl, he should like her.
However, Qiao Yanxue heard Mu Siqing say that it was her brother who abandoned Mu Siqing and married a new love, so she was very upset, and decided to accompany Mu Siqing on a trip! It can be regarded as a little compensation that the Qiao family owes to Mu Siqing.
At that moment, when the fat man ordered the meal, the four of them ate a beautiful breakfast in the wall, and then continued to set off towards the Valley of Death.
Along the way, the fat man was very excited and circled around Qiao Yanxue, but unfortunately, in addition to being very polite and polite to the fat man, Qiao Yanxue couldn't see the slightest movement of the fat man with "that meaning".
However, Mu Siqing's attitude towards Xu Dong has changed a lot, and she should have said all the distress in her heart, and her mood will be better.
After turning over a mountain, there appeared in front of a river valley that had been dry for a long time, bare inside, with a breath of death, the river valley was very wide, the widest place was almost a kilometer, the narrowest place was about 100 meters, moreover, this river valley was very deep, and the cliffs on both sides were cut by knives and axes, and the height was about sixty or seventy meters.
Qiao Yanxue pointed to the river valley and said, according to the map instructions provided by the people who came before, this dry river valley is the Death Valley! Now, the place where a few people are going is a river in the valley that is almost 80 kilometers away.
Mu Siqing looked at the map, calculated carefully again, and then said to Xu Dong and the others, from this point on, if you follow the road you calculated and reach the river, you can save five .3 kilometers of travel, but the path is not very easy to walk, and you have to go down to the valley of death first, go to the intersection of the two roads, go on a slope that is not too steep, and then cross a two-kilometer ravine, climb two mountains, and climb a cliff, however, compared to walking in the mysterious valley of death, It should be less dangerous.
Qiao Yanxue pondered for a moment and said, "According to those who went back earlier, Death Valley is indeed full of dangers, poisonous insects, snakes and ants are everywhere, so we went to prepare the Golden-headed Centipede Gu, but unfortunately, my grandfather ...... However, they also said that our area is also very strange, full of quicksand, and it may not be difficult to find it in Death Valley, but if you go in from other places, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid it's hard to say whether you can find that place or not. ”
Where there is quicksand, it is easy to change the original topography, and if there is no fixed geographical indication, even if you walk over that place, you may not be able to recognize it.
Xu Dong and the others naturally understood Qiao Yanxue's meaning, but considering that the fat man was naturally afraid of snakes, so as not to panic him at the time, Xu Dong stood on Mu Siqing's side and took the road calculated by Mu Siqing.
On the Gobi Gorge under the scorching sun, not to mention being able to save more than five kilometers, even if it can save one kilometer, it can greatly save body consumption, not to mention, walking in the valley of death, you have to be on guard against poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that do not know where they will come from, not to mention, walking from the valley of death, it will take more than a day.
In the valley of death, where poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are everywhere, let alone walking for more than a day, even if it only takes two hours, it can break people's nerves!
Several people made up their minds, and immediately followed the route calculated by Mu Siqing and went down to the Valley of Death first.
As soon as they arrived at Death Valley, Qiao Yanxue and the fat man frowned first.
- When he looked back, on the mountain beam behind him, the yellow-haired wolf king with a few wolves followed, and at this time he was squatting on the mountain beam and watching a few people, but the yellow-haired wolf king was very jealous of this death valley, and when he saw a few people entering the death valley, he immediately howled angrily on the mountain beam, but he didn't dare to push further.
In the valley of death, on the edge of this valley of death, there are countless animal skeletons, ranging from bison, wild camels, to wolves, rabbits, etc., these should have strayed into the valley of death, and lost their lives without knowing it.
It's just that at the entrance, among the white bones, there are two corpses, it seems that the person who came to look for things for Old Man Qiao a few times ago was attacked by snakes and insects in the valley and unfortunately died.
These two corpses are about to turn into dry corpses, and no one goes to bury them, it is estimated that in addition to the panic of their companions, it is also because these two corpses are extremely poisoned, and if they don't do it well, if they bump into it, they may affect themselves.
This is not speculation, when Xu Dong and the others passed by, some tentacles more than half an inch long were quickly revealed from under the two corpses, although I didn't see what it was, but those tentacles were not only thick, but also covered with thin barbs, and at a glance, I knew that those things were definitely not easy to mess with.
Originally, the fat man wanted to rummage through the backpacks of these two people to see if there were anything that could be used in the backpacks of these two people, but when he saw those barbed tentacles, the fat man jumped back a long way.
Xu Dong entered the bottom of the valley, and while walking, he checked carefully, and found that there were indeed a lot of things hidden in the valley bottom, with a clump of black breath, these black breaths, dotted and hidden in the cracks of the stones, in the sand, not very big, the largest one, is about the size of a tea jar, but the breath is almost the same as the centipede in the big pit where the Ma warlord hid the treasure, the breath is very black and demonic, think about it, the toxicity is definitely not weak.
A few people didn't dare to stay in such an environment for a long time, and went straight to the junction of the road that Mu Siqing had calculated.
It's just that Mu Siqing originally planned to travel less than two kilometers in Death Valley, but when he reached the calculated junction point, he was a little dumbfounded.
The map is clearly marked with a gentle slope of nearly 70 degrees, but when I looked at the field, I found that this is a "gentle slope", which is simply a steep and straight cliff, to say the least, it must be more than 100 meters high!
Standing at the bottom of the cliff, Qiao Yanxue was full of sadness, what should she do now?
It is definitely unrealistic to start taking the path calculated by Mu Siqing here, even if Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing have the ability to turn over, but what about Xu Dong and the fat man?
Let them wait at the bottom of this valley? That didn't necessarily mean anything—he hadn't been standing for a long time, and out of nowhere, a few scorpions with black bodies crawled out, waving the stingers on their tails at Xu Dong and the others.
The spine on the tail of the scorpion, similar to the teeth in the mouth of a poisonous snake, the tail needle in the abdomen of a wasp, etc., are the source of venom, and this kind of black scorpion is almost as toxic as the centipede that Xu Dong has seen, so naturally he can't touch it.
Let the two of them wait here for a few hours, even if they themselves are not worried, Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing will be worried.
The fat man jumped to his feet, dodged a few scorpions, and asked Mu Siqing anxiously, what should I do now? If you have to climb the cliff, then you have to find a way quickly, and if you plan to change the route, then you have to act in time, otherwise, it will definitely not be fun to be on it by these black scorpions.
Mu Siqing was silent for a moment, raised her foot and stepped on a poisonous scorpion, and finally shook her head and changed the course, but she still couldn't continue to walk in the valley of death, along this cliff, just one kilometer further, there will be a slightly lower cliff, the map shows that the cliff, almost thirty meters high, this height, for a few people, is nothing, on the cliff, and then go back, it is only one kilometer, compared to being in the valley of death, it is still a lot safer.
The fat man calculated that the cliff with a height of more than 30 meters should be able to climb up, and the distance of two kilometers back and forth is almost two kilometers less, which is not a big deal.
At that moment, the fat man didn't wait for Mu Siqing to greet him, so he threw off his legs and walked towards the cliff that Mu Siqing said.
A kilometer away, the four people took less than twenty minutes, to the so-called cliff to see, the four people took a breath of cool air again, this to the cliff, to say the least is about fifty meters high, although it is nearly half lower than the cliff of the previous junction point, but it is definitely vertical, even a little inclined over the cliff, people stand below, and they are always worried that this cliff will collapse directly.
A cliff like this, to climb up, the difficulty is definitely ten points, even if there is a safety rope on it, if you don't pay attention to it, the climber will be dropped in the air, and you will fall into a situation where you can't even touch the cliff wall in the middle of the world.
The three of them found a boulder more than two meters high, stood on the top of the boulder, and looked at the cliff in front of them in a daze.
After a long time, Mu Siqing gritted his teeth and went from here!
Take the lead by yourself, and after you go up, you will find a way to pick up Xu Dong and the fat man.
Seeing that Mu Siqing had made up his mind, the fat man sighed slightly, took out a few bags of beef jerky from his backpack, and distributed them to everyone.
Climbing the rock wall, to consume, is a large amount of body, at this time do not fill the stomach, and when you climb to the middle of the cliff, even if you are hungry, it can only be dry staring.
After eating and drinking, Mu Siqing sorted out the climbing nails, ropes, safety buckles and other equipment in the backpack, and then dragged the rope and began to climb.
