Lost!
Zhao Chen looked at the reckless forest below, scratched his head vigorously, there was no precise navigation, he could only go south by feeling, although it had been determined that this was Lingnan, that is, Guangdong in the future.
But he can't be sure of where they are in Guangdong!
Looking down at the map spread out at the bottom of the hanging basket, I don't know how many times I have seen it, but looking at it, Zhao Chen can't determine the specific location, just because the mountains and rivers of this era are not the same concept as those of later generations.
At this time, it is noon, the sun is shining brightly overhead, and when you come out of Guanzhong, there is still ice and snow everywhere, and the further you go south, the more verdant your eyes become, and below this moment, is a reckless forest full of verdant eyes.
"Brother Chen, why don't you go down and ask others?" Cheng Chu collapsed listlessly in the hanging basket, looked at Zhao Chen who was looking at the map with a haggard face, and said weakly.
Go down and ask someone?
When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, there is a reckless jungle below, whether there are people or not, Zhao Chen doesn't know, but there are a few snakes, and this bastard can figure it out.
But looking at Cheng Chumo's haggard appearance, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of thing is Cheng Chumo wanting to ask someone, it is clear that he wants to breathe below!
Starting from Chang'an to this Lingnan, although I went down several times to rest and recuperate, I always stayed on the hot air balloon for a long time, not to mention Cheng Chumo, I couldn't stand it.
All right! Go down, go down, Zhao Chen sighed, then put the map away, slowly adjusted the valve down, and the hot air balloon began to slowly descend.
The hot air balloon slid all the way down from a height of hundreds of meters, and when it reached a height of tens of meters, Zhao Chen threw a rope with an iron hook on it and threw it down.
"Chu Mo, hold it firm!" Zhao Chen threw the rope down and hurriedly reminded Cheng Chumo behind him that when the iron hook of the rope hooked the trees below, there would be a huge vibration above. If one accidentally fails to stand firmly, then the consequence will inevitably be to fall from a height of dozens of meters and fall into a meatloaf.
Cheng Chu silently heard this, grabbed the side of the hanging basket weakly, and without Zhao Chen reminding him, he gritted his teeth vigorously to prevent accidentally biting his tongue when shaking.
The height of the hot air balloon was getting lower and lower, and the long rope was hanging down from the hot air balloon, dragging all the way through the trees, Zhao Chen stared closely below, and his hands gripped the edge of the hanging basket vigorously.
"Boom!" When the rope finally swept past a large tree, the iron hook at one end of the rope slammed into a thick tree pole.
At the moment when the rope hooked, the hot air balloon was suddenly dragged in place out of inertia, and a huge vibration came, and the bodies of Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo above leaned over and hit the wall of the hanging basket hard.
"Chu Mo, are you alright?" The arm was hit and hurt, Zhao Chen saw that the hot air balloon had stopped in mid-air, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, slowly sat down along the hanging basket, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo beside him, and asked with concern.
"It hurts!" Cheng Chumo hugged his head, sat back in the hanging basket a little embarrassed, and said sullenly.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly, Cheng Chumo has never been far away since he was a child, but this trip followed him to such a far place, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he must have regretted it in his heart!
"Go down! We'll camp here tonight, and it's never too late to leave tomorrow! Zhao Chen raised his head and sighed, grabbed the edge of the hanging basket and stood up, and then pulled Cheng Chumo up hard.
A rope ladder was thrown out of the hanging basket, Zhao Chen climbed down the rope ladder first, and then raised his head and looked at Cheng Chumo who climbed down from the hot air balloon more than ten meters high little by little.
It's a bit top-heavy, feeling like stepping on the ground with two feet is like stepping on a pile of cotton, which is the sequelae of sitting in a hot air balloon for a long time!
As soon as Cheng Chumo came down from above, he slammed under a tree, vomiting desperately, and the vomiting sound was hoarse, and Zhao Chen, who was watching, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Surrounded by tall trees, the eyes are green, obviously it is still March, but it is the same as June and July in Guanzhong, green trees, the fragrance of plants floating in the air, this is the difference between the north and the south!
At this time, the jungle seemed to be extremely silent, only the unknown bird chirping in the distance, long and short, I don't know what kind of bird it was.
Zhao Chen found a long stick and beat the surrounding grass vigorously, there are many snakes in the south, especially in this jungle, it is simply a paradise for snakes, and if you can't prevent it, you will encounter that kind of giant poisonous snake.
Just when Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo got off the hot air balloon here and were about to camp, on a tree far away from them, a man with bare shoulders quietly climbed down the tree.
Looking back, he glanced in the direction of Zhao Chen and them in a panic, and instantly rushed towards the depths of the jungle, and after a while, the figure disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
"Brother Chen, when can we go to the beach?" The tent was quickly set up by the two of them, and Cheng Chumo lay down on the folding chuang as soon as he set up the tent, looking at Zhao Chen and asking.
"In four or five days!" Zhao Chen didn't know where he was yet, but since he arrived in Lingnan, he should be able to reach the beach soon.
"Oh my God! Why is it taking so long! When Cheng Chumo heard that he would continue to float on the hot air balloon for four or five days, he suddenly hugged his head and screamed in pain, he really couldn't stand the feeling of floating in the air and dizzy.
Previously, when he was in Qinling, he couldn't wait to sleep on a hot air balloon at night, but now that he has experienced such a long journey, Cheng Chumo just thinks about the taste of floating in the air in his mind, and he can't stop churning in his stomach.
"Why don't I send you back?" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Chumo holding his head there, looking pitiful, and couldn't help but laugh, and deliberately quipped.
"No!" As soon as Cheng Chumo heard this, he suddenly turned over and sat up, as if he had an enmity with someone, and said viciously: "How much I have suffered along the way, and now I have finally survived here, how can I go back like this!" ”
Saying this, he suddenly lay back again, and said with a longing face: "At least I have to find a lot of gold!" ”
This bastard hasn't forgotten about gold in his head, but that's fine, at least he has a goal!
Just as he was thinking like this, Zhao Chen suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps outside, the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and then the figure of the jungle hunter flashed in his mind, his face suddenly turned white, and he instantly copied a long knife beside him.
This long knife is prepared early in the morning, just in case, in case of any emergency, just in case.
Now hearing the chaotic footsteps outside, Zhao Chenjue's precaution is simply very wise!
Cheng Chumo, who was still dying or alive just now, where he was lying, reacted faster than Zhao Chen, Bi Jing was born in the gate, and he was exposed to it, and under Cheng Chumo's hands, the knife skills would not be bad!
What will it be?
Both of them stood in the tent with pale faces, looking at each other, and no one dared to go out at this time.
In such a short period of time, the footsteps outside suddenly disappeared, as if they had not appeared at all just now, which made Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo in the tent even more worried.
The wait is long, especially in this unknown situation, it feels like every minute and second has passed extremely long, Zhao Chen's fist squeezed hard, and finally took a long deep breath, and slowly walked to the door with a long knife.
As soon as Cheng Chumo saw Zhao Chen walking towards the door, he immediately dragged Zhao Chen back, in this case, he had an advantage over Zhao Chen. If there is a fierce beast outside, with Cheng Chumo's knife technique, there will still be room for maneuver, and Zhao Chen is estimated to be eaten alive and skinned.
This is not the time to be hypocritical, Zhao Chen didn't want to be strong, and silently took a step back, letting Cheng Chumo walk in front, while he carried a knife and followed closely behind Cheng Chumo.
The curtain of the tent was lifted little by little, and when it was finally completely lifted, the two of them looked out, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and gasped in unison as if they had a toothache.
Person! That's a lot of people!
At this moment, there were many people outside their tent, all of them young men in the prime of life, all of them with half of their shoulders exposed, their hair standing strangely on the back of their heads, and the exposed half of their shoulders with strange tattoos.
"Brother Chen, we may have met the savage you mentioned!" Seeing so many people dressed in alternative clothes suddenly appeared outside, Cheng Chumo's face suddenly turned pale, and his mind suddenly remembered the savage tribe that Zhao Chen said, and he couldn't help but say with a trembling voice.
"They shouldn't be the local indigenous people!" Zhao Chen had never seen a wild man, but looking at the dress of these people outside, especially the strange tattoos on half of his shoulder, Zhao Chen could be sure that these people were by no means savages, although he was also a little stunned in his heart.
Lingnan is the world of slang people, Zhao Chen doesn't know, but he still knows something about Mrs. Xian, Mrs. Xian is the slang chief of Lingnan, and later Feng Ang controls a large area of Lingnan, although he is not self-reliant, he is actually the king of Lingnan.
It's just that in addition to the slang people living in Lingnan, there are many wingman tribes, and they are no worse than the slang people in terms of power, Zhao Chen doesn't know that the slang people are still the slang people in front of him.
Of course, whether it is a slang person or a wingman, there is not much difference between the current situation of Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo!
Because, the two of them are now surrounded by these people!
