"Of course, there are two routes." During the time when Tao Ran was sorting out the cooking tools, Song Rui took the map and studied it carefully, and said to Tao Ran.

He was referring to the route through the steppe to the desert, where their target was at the southern edge of the desert, and where they were now at the northern edge.

There is a canyon in the middle of the huge cliff that runs between the grassland and the desert, and one of the routes passes through this canyon. But this route means that they have to pass through most of the desert, the desert climate is extremely harsh, the temperature can reach more than 70 degrees during the day, high temperature, dry, scorching, sandstorms, quicksand are quite severe tests, not to mention the sand scorpions, sand lizards, desert sharks and other extremely dangerous beasts.

The other route is to travel directly along the grassland, to the position closest to the destination in a straight line and then cross the cliff, so as to avoid the 'confrontation' with this manic desert to the greatest extent, but to choose this route, you need to climb thousands of meters of high cliffs with your bare hands, not to mention, the cliff is extremely steep, and it is light to describe it as straight up and down, and some places are even inverted, and the difficulty of climbing can be seen.

"Well, what about your suggestion?" Tao Ran asked.

"To be honest, I don't really want to deal with the desert, I'm not afraid of dryness." Song Rui's words are not groundless, his bones have good adaptability and absorption to liquids, relatively speaking, he doesn't like dryness so much.

"Words for rock climbing...... I may not be able to hold on to my strength. Tao Ran looked at Song Rui.

"It's okay, I can carry you behind my back......" Song Rui replied, "Then it's decided!" ”

"Yes!" Tao Ran trusted Song Rui's judgment very much, and seeing that he had made up his mind, he shrugged his shoulders and put the packed things in his backpack, "Then let's go, this grassland is too big, even if you go all out, it will take several days." ”

Next, the two of them really hurried at full speed, and during this time, they also encountered some fierce beasts that 'knocked on the fierce', some were scared away by Song Rui, and some were eaten by Xiaobai and Ranran...... Compared to these two goods, Song Rui felt that he was kind like a harmless skeleton! Because he is only a vegetarian......

Xiaobai's state is gradually improving, when he is energetic, he is not limited to eating time, and he has begun to run around with joy, he loves this grassland very much, and because it is summer, there are many unknown insects in the grass, and it jumps left and right to play.

Song Rui didn't care about it, he just hurried with all his strength when he didn't capture the ingredients, and he also discovered that Xiaobai's figure was ...... Well, it really doesn't have any effect on its speed, and it's a little faster, so it's not a problem to keep up with Song Rui at all.

Song Rui couldn't understand this at all, why the speed of the ball was so fast, and this didn't talk about mechanics! But thinking about myself is also a big representative of not talking about mechanics, so I gave up and no longer dwelled on the problem of streamlining.

"This ...... It's too high! Song Rui stood at the foot of the cliff, raised his head and looked up, the hat on his head had fallen off, and he couldn't see the top of the cliff at all, only the white clouds swirling around the half of the cliff.

"Can you climb up?" Tao Ran looked up at the cliff in the same posture and asked.

"Meow?" Xiaobai wondered, his father's 'royal chef' wouldn't plan to climb this cliff, right? At this height, even it can't fly!

"It's a bit exaggerated, I'll try it first." Song Rui put down his backpack, moved his hands and feet, and began to climb.

Fortunately, the stones on the cliff are extremely hard, and there is no sign of weathering due to thousands of years of standing, the layers of rocks are piled up, and there are many landing points for hands and feet, which are stable enough, Song Rui is relieved.

Taking rock climbing as an example, in addition to the technical experience, there is also the most important issue, which is physical strength! Beginners are often reminded not to choose rock walls that exceed the upper limit of their physical strength, because with the consumption of physical strength, judgment and concentration will decline to varying degrees, and this time is the most likely to have accidents. But this is not a matter of consideration for Song Rui, he does not feel tired, as long as he does not step into the air, there is no problem at all.

After trying a distance of dozens of meters, Song Rui jumped down and observed at the bottom of the cliff again, there was no falling rock, and falling objects from high altitudes were also a big taboo when climbing, "You can climb, there is no problem." ”

"Yes!"

Song Rui tied Tao Ran and his backpack firmly to his back, if Ran Ran was not strong enough and couldn't catch himself, it would be a lot of fun, so he did this work quite carefully.

After the inspection, Song Rui jumped on the spot, and the weight on his body was acceptable, so he began to climb.

Xiaobai jumped on his shoulder, obviously not wanting to fly up on his own.

Song Rui was highly concentrated, and only at this time, he felt that his body was still very beneficial.

Unexpectedly, this climb lasted for more than ten hours. Although Song Rui didn't feel tired, the weight on his body still made him dare not be careless, and the mental power consumption was not small, he climbed relatively slowly, and tried to be steady at every step.

Song Rui felt the weight on his back, and suddenly a realization rose in his heart. Partner, it's probably such a heavy feeling. heavy, but willing to take every step carefully for this heaviness.

Many things, when you are old and look back on your life, you will find that every choice and every perception you make is actually a great change in fate. It's just that when you were standing at the fork in the road, seeing the wind and clouds, the day you made your choice, the day you thought about it, at that time, it actually seemed quite dull and ordinary, just like the most ordinary day in your life.

As the altitude got higher and higher, the temperature gradually dropped, and Tao Ran's breath in the back was white.

"Ranran, how do you feel?" Song Rui naturally sensed Tao Ran's abnormality and asked.

"It's a little cold, but it's still going to hold on." Tao Ran exhaled and replied with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so cold up here, I already knew to wear a coat." ”

"Yes." Song Rui sped up a little

"Whew—it's finally here!" The last step was still to step steadily, Song Rui finally climbed to the top of the cliff, he took a few steps forward, and untied Tao Ran from his back.

Tao Ran hurriedly moved his hands and feet on the spot, it was extremely cold, and the wind was quite strong, Tao Ran's small body was a little unstable, and Xiaobai grabbed Song Rui's shoulders tightly to prevent being blown away.

Song Rui looked at Xiaobai's appearance, a little funny, this little guy is too exaggerated! He was about to take out a coat from his backpack and put it on Tao Ran, when he suddenly felt a breath.

"Huh?! This is? ”

He looked to the other side, because the top of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and his vision was not very good, but Song Rui still vaguely saw a figure, sitting on the edge of the cliff on the opposite side of the other side, and there was a large square stone beside him.

"Someone!" Song Rui's surprise is not trivial, there will be someone in this place?!
