Chapter 52: The Valley of Loss
This slope is not particularly shaking, but it is very long, looking at it, its end is very far from the current position, that is because this abyss cliff is too high, so it will be like this, there are almost no ferrets near here, the road in front of a little can still be seen, but when you reach the slope, you have never seen one at the beginning of the slope, is it possible that they are forbidden to come here? Maybe it's a forbidden place for them, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible not to see a single ferret all at once. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although I had some doubts, I still didn't stop my steps, whether it was a forbidden place for a ferret or not, but for me it was not a forbidden place to go.
We hadn't gone far down the slope when a couple of ferrets dressed as guards stopped us and said in a very serious tone, "Who is it?" Hurry up and get out of here, it's forbidden to move forward, hurry back! ”
I don't want to cause trouble, after all, the surrounding ferrets have given me a pretty good impression along the way, so I plan to see if I can convince them to let us into this valley, so I stepped forward and said: "I'm sorry for a few, we are knights from Jicheng, and we are going to come to this King Mountain Range to experience, the path is here, please make it convenient, let us in." ”
"No, this Lost Valley is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter, this is also for your safety, how many people who didn't listen to the advice broke into it at the beginning, but no one has come back alive until now, so you better go back!" These ferrets said with a very serious expression, but the tone was very relaxed, I don't know if it is because of the character of their ferret clan or because I also have the breath of ferrets on my body to do this to us, I feel that they are a very gentle race. But listening to them, this valley is called the Valley of Loss, I feel that there are many murderous and unknown dangers hidden in it, but it also indicates that there may be a big opportunity, I glanced at Xuanxuan, she also looked at me, seemed to understand what I was thinking, nodded to me gently, of course I understood what she meant, but I made a pause action, signaling her not to worry for the time being, let me try the previous method first, Xuanxuan saw my pause gesture and nodded to show that she understood.
"How many people, I don't know what is it in this Lost Valley that is called a forbidden place and is not allowed to enter?" I asked.
One of the ferrets replied: "As for what is called a forbidden place in this Lost Valley, we don't know, we just heard the elder's order to come here to guard, don't let others break into it by mistake and die, there are many people who have entered this Lost Valley by mistake and have never returned, and some people have volunteered to go in to find out, and they can't be persuaded to live or die, and the result is no different from the person who entered by mistake, and there is no return." That's why I advise you not to go in, especially not to take chances, because this happened not just once or twice, but dozens of times, and that's why I warn you, human! If it weren't for the familiar aura of you, I wouldn't have warned you like that, I hope you'll listen. ”
It turns out that they were friendly to us before because of the residual ferret breath on our bodies, but it's normal to think about it, they seem to have an inexplicable trust in the breath of their companions. But they have all said this, I want to say that the possibility of moving them to let us into this lost valley is very small, I am worried that Xuanxuan may break in because of the refusal of these guards just now, but I didn't expect this little girl to calm down and didn't make a sound, I don't know what she is thinking, my mind can be seen through by her at once, but I can't see what she thinks at all, maybe the difference in talent between the two of us
It's too big, or maybe my mind isn't as meticulous as hers.
The guards saw that I had stopped talking, and seemed to think that I had listened to them, so they went back to their posts. Xuanxuan pulled me and said, "Let's go, don't think you can go in here, these guards are not low in attributes, and it is not easy to break in, plus this is still a place where the abyss cliff is, although it is very marginal, but at least it is also their territory, and it is estimated that it will suffer a loss, so it is better to take a detour to enter." ”
"Take a detour?" I'm a little puzzled, what kind of detour Xuanxuan is to get in.
Xuanxuan pointed to the cliff and said, "Is your fear of heights obvious in the game?" ”
I nodded when I saw that it was the unfathomable cliff, but then I shook my head and said, "Tell me, what is your solution?" ”
"If this slope deep into the canyon cannot be walked, why can't we go straight down this abyssal cliff? I remember a vertical ladder going down the cliff, and I think if we go down to the bottom of the cliff, we should find another way to the Lost Valley, but I don't know if you are afraid of heights or not. Xuanxuan didn't forget to look at me after speaking, as if she wanted to see what changes I would make, did she want to see through my mind?
I hesitated, it is true that what Xuanxuan said is indeed very reasonable, because although the bottom of this abyss cliff looks like a river, but I am not sure if there is a riverbank, and this river has passed through the Valley of Loss, if there is a riverbank below and there are no ferret guards guarding it, then it is not difficult to enter the Valley of Lost along the riverbank, even if there are guards, the riverbank is relatively large, and it can be covered by the trees on the edge of the cliff, and it may find an opportunity, instead of only one road like now, There's nowhere to hide, and there's no other way to get past than to break through. But that's the way to go, not the way we want to go. I glanced at Xuanxuan, who had been staring at me, as if to ask me what I meant and if I wanted to act the way she was told. Although I know that Xuanxuan's method should be the best in the current situation, I am very repulsed by walking on a cliff, so I try to avoid Xuanxuan's gaze, I don't want to give my own answer for the time being, I need a little time to sort out my thoughts and see if there is any other better way to solve this problem.
Xuanxuan also looked very open to me for avoiding answers, and didn't rush to let me respond, but just stood aside with her hands on her hips to see what I would do in the end, who had been hesitating.
"Let's go, do what you want!" After hesitating for a long time, I still decided to follow Xuanxuan's words, because the only feasible method at present is the one Xuanxuan said, and I haven't thought of other better ways for the time being, if you don't do what Xuanxuan said, it will be a waste of time here, and there is no point.
"Are you sure you want to follow the way I said you would?" Xuanxuan looked at me with a slightly playful smile and said.
I nodded and said, "No problem, I think your method is the best solution at the moment, it is indeed feasible, as for this cliff, it is not just a death, if you fall to death, you will fall to death, it's a big deal to go back to the city for free, but if there is a drop of equipment, then you have to trouble Xuanxuan to go down to the bottom of the cliff to help me pick it up." ”
"Don't be so pessimistic! You all know it's just a game, what are you afraid of? You can be so calm in the face of those terrible monsters that are impossible in reality, and you are afraid of this little cliff? You yourself know that if you fall, you will die and return to the city, so there is no need to be nervous, and there will be no problems at all if you follow the normal walking, jumping and climbing. Xuanxuan reassured.
Although I also know that what Xuanxuan said is true, but people's inner fear is not so easy to overcome, this fear has penetrated deep into your heart, as long as that kind of scene appears, then fear will follow, and it is not so easy to say that it can be overcome, if it can really be so easy, then the profession of psychiatrist has little value in existence.
"Don't worry! I won't take it lightly! I pretended to smile very lightly.
Xuanxuan looked at me with disbelieving eyes, but she didn't say anything, and led the way directly in front, and I quickly followed. I found a ladder closest to here, and then Xuanxuan climbed down very neatly, I just walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the deep valley below, my legs suddenly became a little disobedient, I don't know if Xuanxuan will think I'm troublesome at this time, and I don't know if she will think I'm useless. She didn't speak, she jumped very sensitively onto a large branch next to the ladder, and looked up at me who was standing on the edge of the cliff hesitatingly. Standing on the shore and looking below, I felt my head a little dizzy, a little spinning, and my eyes were full of stars. I don't like it, but every time I stand on a high place and look down, I feel like it, and it's very uncomfortable. I forced myself to look at Xuanxuan with a headache, I don't know if she can understand my mood at this moment, maybe it's more of a contempt for me, my eyes have become a little blurry, and I can't see clearly below.
At this time, Xuanxuan, who had been standing on the trunk of the tree without making a sound, shouted at me: "Chasing the wind, this is just a scene in the game, you should be challenging a boss, don't care about other things, don't think about whether this is reality, just treat it as if you are fighting the white snake immortal and encounter a predicament, don't let yourself be cranky." ”
I shook my head vigorously, hoping to sober myself up, and then kept telling myself that this is just a game, this is really a game, no matter what I do in the game, what I do will not affect myself in reality, I must rest assured and boldly do it, don't let the scenes in the game confuse me. Then I closed my eyes, held the ladder with my hands, climbed down a few steps, I didn't feel much of a problem, I tried to open my eyes, Xuanxuan shouted at me below: "Yes, that's it, it's just a game, your character attributes are high, you can do whatever you want, there is no problem at all." ”
Keep running down the ladder, and feel better and better, as long as you don't deliberately look down, everything is no different from the flat ground, and keep telling yourself not to be confused by the game so that reality and the game are clear. Climbing to the trunk of the tree where Xuanxuan was, Xuanxuan encouraged me and told me to try to jump over, as long as my eyes were fixed on the target and not to think about his things. So I stared at the trunk in front of me, estimated the distance in my heart, and then jumped lightly, very easily and steadily jumped over, I found that as long as I don't think too much about distractions, as long as there is a goal in front of my eyes, it will be much easier, I think the reason why I am afraid of heights is that I often stand on a high place and look down without purpose, at a glance I feel endless, and I feel very small, like a trace of wind can blow away the sand, so I am so afraid of high places, In fact, as long as you set a visible goal for yourself, it will be much easier.
Seeing that I was confident, Xuanxuan also said with a smile: "Not bad! Overcome so quickly, are you ready? We're leaving! ”
As soon as I heard it, isn't this a line I often say to her, why is it that she used to say it to me today, and I smiled helplessly. Seeing Xuanxuan jumping to the next tree trunk very sensitively, I quickly followed, and the ferret next to me watched the two of us keep jumping between the tree trunks, and also followed us, so happy, I suddenly felt that it was a pleasant thing to forget about those ethereal and then stare at the target in front of me.
This abyss cliff is very deep, the two of us jumped for a while and did not reach the bottom of the cliff, and the ferret that followed us down also slowly stopped and did not continue to follow, I don't know what the situation is, there are many stone caves on the edge of the cliff, which should be where the ferret live. On the way, Xuanxuan seemed to be a little exhausted, so she stopped to rest several times. I'm okay, the benefits of high character attributes are very vividly reflected, I basically don't dare to feel tired, and it's very easy all the way.
I jumped down the tree trunk on the edge of this cliff for a long time, and finally saw the situation below the bottom of the cliff, it was a river with a very rapid water potential, and when I looked at it from a high place, it was just a river with no movement, and when I got closer, the sound of the rapids and the splashing of the water told us that this river was not easy to mess with. However, the bottom of the cliff is very wide, and there is still a river bank to settle on, and this river bank is full of gravel, but it is a relatively large gravel, not a pebble. I jumped down and said to Xuanxuan in the tree, "Come down, beauty!" I'll hold you, don't be afraid to fall! ”
Xuanxuan gave a contemptuous look and said, "Who wants you to take it, I'm very stable!" After speaking, she jumped and landed firmly on the ground, she was so bold, she was not afraid of hitting her feet, the ground was so uneven. There is nothing around the bottom of this cliff, and those ferrets will not continue to the middle of the abyss cliff, I don't know if it is the rule of the clan. I looked in the direction of the Lost Valley and said, "Xuanxuan, is it okay to go up along the river!" ”
"Maybe, that's what I guessed, I can't see the top of the cliff now, and I don't know if the direction changed when we kept jumping down, but I think it's right to go up." Xuanxuan said.
I don't care, after overcoming this fear of heights, the whole person's mood is very comfortable, and he said: "Okay, just follow the words of our Xuanxuan God today, it's right." Let's go! Attack on the Lost Valley! ”
