After breathing for a while, Xiao Ding carefully climbed slowly from the boulder on the edge of the cliff to the cliff.

Sitting on the ground, Xiao Ding breathed a long sigh of relief.

After resting for a long time, Xiao Ding turned his head to look into the mountains and forests, only to see that the black holes in the mountains and forests were connected together, like a huge beast's mouth, waiting for the prey to fall into the mouth with its mouth open.

Xiao Ding thought about it, it was better to wait for dawn to go back to the mountains and forests, it was best to find the other three, and if he couldn't find it, he could only break into Xia Mountain alone.

Fortunately, I was with those three people last night, and if I had spent the night alone, I might not even dare to blink my eyelids all night. No one knows when danger will approach.

Although he had barely slept all night, and had been running thrillingly for so long, his body was extremely tired, Xiao Ding still didn't dare to sleep. I had to meditate and practice cross-legged to recover my strength.

Fortunately, the exercises he practiced were quite magical, and after running for a few weeks, his physical strength had already recovered. By this time the sky had begun to lighten.

Xiao Ding continued to run for a few more weeks, and only after it was a little brighter did he get up to identify the direction.

Unfortunately, when he walked to the edge of the forest, he still couldn't remember which direction he had come from last night.

It seems that he can only break into a mess.

According to the position of the sun, he could easily distinguish the north, south, south, and north. It's just that when you are in the mountains and forests, you can't tell which direction is going up the mountain and which direction is going down.

Xiao Ding remembered that the direction they had entered the mountain should be on the east side of the main peak, and if they had not yet reached the main peak, it should not be wrong to continue walking westward. It's just that they ran in a mess last night, and they didn't know which direction they ran in. Now, even if you go east, you may not be able to find your way down the mountain.

Another way to find out the direction is to find a peak with no trees on the top of the mountain, and just climb it to observe. It's a pity that the vegetation in this area of the main peak of Luoxia Mountain is dense, and there are primeval forests almost everywhere, large and small peaks, and there are almost no treeless peaks.

In such a mountain forest, it is very difficult to find a direction, let alone find someone, it is even more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.

At present, Xiao Ding can only take one step at a time. If you can really find Mei Ruoshuang in this mountain forest, it can only be said that you are lucky, and God is open. And such a probability, compared to the probability of winning the lottery, will only be low, not high.

Xiao Ding's iron rod didn't know where it was thrown last night. He had no choice but to sharpen a thin wooden stick with the dagger at his waist, and as he walked, he used the stick to beat the grass in front of his feet to repel snakes and insects.

Now he was left walking on his own, and he had to be more careful everywhere.

After walking for more than an hour, he could not find the place where they had rested last night. At this time, the sun had already risen high, and Xiao Ding felt a little hungry and thirsty in his stomach.

The small baggage with steamed buns and water bags on his body has long been gone. The food is easy to manage, and there are many small birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, and you can satisfy your hunger by roasting one at will. It's just that there is no fresh water, and he doesn't dare to eat, because he knows that digesting food will consume a lot of water in his body.

Towards noon, Xiao Ding found a bush of dwarf bushes in the forest, on which there were some thumb-sized white berries, which were very attractive and watery.

Berries are small, but they are rich in water, which can relieve urgent needs.

Xiao Ding hurriedly ran over to pick the more than ten berries, wiped them with the placket of his clothes, and stuffed two berries into his mouth.

The taste of "Wow......" is bitter and astringent, and slightly numb, it can't be poisonous, right?

Xiao Ding chirped his mouth, looked at the berries in his hand, hesitated, and his heart was to eat or not to eat?

In general, there are very few poisonous wild fruit plants, and it is difficult to come across them even if you want to find poisonous fruits to eat. You can't be unlucky enough to encounter a wild fruit that is a poisonous fruit, right? Xiao Ding said secretly.

After hesitating again and again, Xiao Ding still didn't dare to continue eating berries. You can endure hunger and thirst for the time being, but if the fruit is poisonous, then your life will be difficult to protect.

However, Xiao Ding was not willing to throw away the dozen berries. If it's not poisonous, maybe it can save your life at a critical moment!

Xiao Ding tore a piece of cloth off his sleeve, wrapped the more than a dozen berries, and put them in his arms. Then choose a direction to continue your journey.

After walking forward for less than a cup of tea, Xiao Ding felt a little hot in his stomach. At first he didn't care. But then it got hotter and hotter, and the inside of my stomach seemed to be on fire, and the heat was unbearable. And this burning heat, as well as the tendency to spread throughout the body, gradually spreads.

Xiao Ding clutched his stomach in pain. It seems that this berry is really poisonous!

He hurriedly sat down under a tree beside him, meditated cross-legged, and began to exercise.

After running for a few weeks, the burning sensation in the abdomen gradually subsided, and the heat began to start in the meridians.

Xiao Ding didn't know what kind of toxicity the berries he ate would be, so he could only continue to exercise his strength to resist the burning heat in his body.

It was not until it was dark that Xiao Ding felt that the burning heat in his body was gone, his body returned to normal, and his whole body was relaxed for a while, as if his strength had increased a lot compared to before.

When he opened his eyes, he found that his eyesight seemed to have improved a little more in the dark. He licked his chapped lips and said secretly, he didn't die! Could it be that the fruit eaten is not a poisonous fruit, but a rare and exotic fruit?

However, he did not dare to eat the fruit any longer.

This afternoon, he simply spent it in dire straits.

Not to mention, the burning heat in his abdomen and body was incomparable, and the most unbearable thing for him was that an irrepressible primitive desire rose in his heart, and there was a corresponding physiological reaction under the lower abdomen, which tortured him all afternoon, no matter how he tried to suppress it, it was useless, it was too tormenting!

Seeing that it was already dark, it was definitely not possible to hurry. You'll have to find a safe place to spend the night.

However, Xiao Ding looked around, and there were mountains and forests as far as the eye could see, and it was the same wherever he rested.

So Xiao Ding simply climbed a big tree nearby and prepared to spend the night on the tree.

After going up the tree, Xiao Ding didn't dare to sleep. Because in the mountains and forests at night, there are also potential dangers such as poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and if you are not careful, you will be hit.

Moreover, there are a lot of gnats in the forest at night. Xiao Ding did not have mosquito repellent on his body, and the mosquitoes after the autumn were extremely fierce, like miniature bombers, circling Xiao Ding in groups, and went up to bite a few times while he was not paying attention, which made Xiao Ding annoyed.

There was no way, Xiao Ding had to sit cross-legged on the branch and continue to practice. Because after practicing, the heat around the body increases, and as the temperature gradually rises, mosquitoes dare not approach.

After practicing the exercises all night, Xiao Ding felt a lot more energetic, his body was full of spiritual power, and his meridians were slightly widened. Is it because you have to break through the first layer? Xiao Ding said secretly.

Xiao Ding couldn't figure out how many layers of exercises there were in "Melting Heart Decision". He accidentally got this set of exercises on a desert island, and there were only methods for practice on it, and there was no relevant introduction.

Thinking of the exercises, Xiao Ding reached out and touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck again. This jade pendant is also the same as the exercises, and it was obtained on a desert island at the beginning. A few days ago, he lost it and got it back, and after he went back, he asked Erniu to help him find a rope and wear it and hang it around his neck.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, Xiao Ding felt hungry and thirsty again. He touched the berries he was carrying in his arms, but finally he couldn't help but eat them again.

Where can I get some water to drink?
