Chapter 175: Puddle

"Follow me?"

Qianshan opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Xinyi, rubbing his chin and thinking.

It's not impossible to bring people, but he will indeed encounter a lot of dangerous situations all the way south, and it will be inconvenient to bring people.

Liu Xinyi watched Qianshan fall into deep thought, and her heart began to feel uneasy, thinking about what she would do if Qianshan rejected her.

After a moment, Qianshan shook his head slightly.

Liu Xinyi's heart sank, and her heart was finished, but she was still rejected.

Hurriedly came to Qianshan's side and begged: "Please take me, I really won't trouble you, if you encounter any special circumstances, you don't need to think about my safety, really!" ”

Qianshan continued to shake his head: "I can't take you with me, you also know how dangerous it is to continue to move forward, your goal is just to go back, right?" ”

After Liu Xinyi was rejected, she didn't have much hope, after all, this is not the earth, this is a parallel world, and one more person is more dangerous, especially for a master who can break through alone.

But when she heard the last sentence, her eyes couldn't help but light up again, as if this person did not completely reject her meaning.

"I really just want to go back to Earth and never take on such a dangerous mission again." Liu Xinyi hurriedly said.

"Okay, mine gives you a choice, you can choose to stay here and wait for me, I will take you with me when I come back, there are many hiding places to find in this mountainous area, such as the mountain behind us."

Qianshan raised his hand and pointed to a location.

Liu Xinyi was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction pointed by Qianshan, and didn't seem to find anything.

"At that location, there is a cave that is only about two or three meters deep, and it is difficult to go up and down, so you don't need to worry about large beasts climbing up." Chiyama explained.

Liu Xinyi almost understood what Qianshan meant, so she asked, "I'll hide in that position until you come back?" ”

"You can choose to do this, of course, you can also choose to leave on your own, I can't take you inside now, because I'm not sure where I'm going and what kind of danger I will have." Thousand mountains shrugged.

Although Liu Xinyi was a little reluctant, she didn't have the slightest way now: "Okay, I'm willing to wait until you come back, the water and energy food on my body can make me live in that position for a month." ”

"Well, then I'll record it, lest I forget you're waiting for me here when I come back." Qianshan took out the map and marked it at this location, indicating that Liu Xinyi was waiting here.

Seeing Qianshan's actions, although Liu Xinyi was a little speechless, she was helpless.

If she wanted to live, then she would have to wait here, she didn't want to take any chances, and besides, she couldn't afford to risk it alone.

There was no word for the night, although it was not very reassuring, but this night was indeed the best night for her to rest here.

When she got up in the morning and pulled out the tent, she looked outside and saw that Qianshan was still sitting cross-legged in place, and although she didn't understand why he liked to sit like this instead of staying in a safer tent, she didn't dare to ask more.

After packing up the tent, Liu Xinyi said to Qianshan: "Then I will go over now, please don't forget that there is still a person waiting for rescue." ”

Qianshan opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned his head to look at Liu Xinyi who was walking down the mountain, smiled slightly, and reminded: "Although there are not many beasts in the mountains, you need to protect the entrance of the cave when you go in, I will return here in a month at most, and if you die at that time, I will take you back." ”

Liu Xinyi paused, then sped up and walked down the mountain, complaining in her heart, but she could only complain.

Qianshan is the most powerful person she has ever seen, and she has never seen anyone dare to run to such a place alone, so everything Qianshan says now is right, and she can only obey.

Even if Qianshan asked her to take off her clothes now, she would do so, but fortunately Qianshan did not make such a request......

Qianshan got up and moved his hands and feet, a night's cultivation made people feel refreshed, and the true qi in his body was a little more.

Looking back, Liu Xinyi, a foreigner, had already descended to the foot of the mountain and began to climb to the position he pointed to, as if he had determined the hiding place he had pointed out to her.

There is indeed a good hiding place over there, but it is quite troublesome to go up and down, as long as she hides in and takes cover, except for being targeted by birds and beasts, nothing else will pose much of a threat to her, because even snakes can't climb up in that place.

Qianshan didn't leave in a hurry, and waited until Liu Xinyi entered the cave safely, then picked up the binoculars and looked at her position.

Seeing her look at herself, Qianshan raised her hand and waved it that way.

In the cave, after Liu Xinyi quickly checked it, she found that this was indeed a very good place to stay, so she looked at the opposite mountain, and just saw Qianshan waving at her.

If she hadn't forgotten to connect to the communicator, she would still be able to talk to Qianshan now, so she could only wave at Qianshan.

Qianshan shouted, "Stay here, I'll take you out of here when I come back." ”

Seeing Liu Xinyi waving her hand again, Qianshan knew that she had heard, so he turned to look at the vast plain and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

It was an accident to meet someone here, but he also knew something he wanted to know from this person, and it was nothing to help her by the way.

After going down the mountain, Qianshan walked straight towards the small puddle area that Liu Xinyi said before.

The purpose of their coming here is for the power stone, and when the task is completed and they are about to leave, they are attacked by a beast, which means that the power stone has been brought out, and it should not be too little.

Now that the tasks have been completed, it is really a waste to throw the energy stones in the wild, it is better to go over and take a look, in case you find their lost energy stones, hide them in a position first, and bring them with you when you come back, which is more or less a sum of money.

The sky has already dawned, and all kinds of animals that move during the day have begun to appear one after another, and some of the people who came out early to block the path of Qianshan's progress have already set their eyes on Qianshan, an outlier who suddenly appeared.

At this time, there are no large beasts around, but there are a lot of smaller ones, and there are some herbivores, compared to carnivores, most of the herbivores are relatively docile, and they will not come to attack when they see people, many of them just watch, warning Qianshan not to approach.

Here, as an outsider, Qianshan will still respect the local indigenous creatures to some extent, try to avoid them, and go around a little.

Of course, even among the herbivores, there are very short-tempered ones, and from a few tens of meters away, those animals begin to roar wildly and then charge at him.

To treat such an animal, Qianshan's approach is to raise the knife and fall with blood, and the blood is stained on the spot.

It's great to be able to make an example of them, but if they don't know whether they live or die, then he doesn't mind solving a little more and making a delicious breakfast for the local predators.

Twenty minutes later, Qianshan came to the vicinity of the small puddle, where there was a basin of not very small size, and at this time several ferocious beasts were lying on the edge of the puddle to drink, and he was immediately targeted as soon as he came.

Qian Shan didn't care about the gazes of these beasts, and looked at the situation around him.

Just now I saw a corpse hundreds of meters away, to be precise, it should be a torn protective suit, the corpse has disappeared, he took the opportunity to turn over the safety rope on the protective suit, and in addition, the existence of energy stones was not found in this protective suit.

They came so far and wide, the number of power stones should not be too small, and there should not be only two or three people, there should be at least four or more.

Looking around, his gaze quickly fell to the basin, where there were two more suits, if I was not mistaken.

Qianshan raised his hand and pulled out the knife, turning to look at the three-headed beast that was already within ten meters, and his skin gradually showed a layer of cyan.

"Roar!"

The three beasts suddenly attacked and pounced.

But ten seconds later, blood was flying, and the three ferocious beasts had turned into six large pieces, scattered on the surrounding grass.

Carrying a knife, Qianshan came to the edge of the basin and carefully observed the situation below.

Because the basin was covered with a thick layer of moss, he couldn't be sure if it was solid ground or a swamp under the moss, and it wouldn't be fun if he had to go down with one kick and sink the whole person.

After thinking about it, Qianshan put the knife back behind his back, took out the safety rope and rope grappling hook, and prepared to hook back the two sets of protective clothing that appeared in the basin, so that he could find at least a few safety ropes from the protective clothing.

If it weren't for the waste of safety ropes at the base of the mountains before, he wouldn't care about these protective suits now, he didn't have much interest in energy stones, he only needed safety ropes now, because this thing is really useful here, and he regretted that he didn't prepare more when he came here before coming in.

The protective clothing was scattered about fifty or sixty meters away from him, and the two sets of protective clothing were only ten meters apart, but it was really not easy to hook it with a rope grappling hook.

The rope grappling hook was thrown out more than ten times, and finally hooked a set of protective suits, and quickly dragged it to the basin.

After checking it, this protective suit looked similar to the previous one, it was all torn, and the whereabouts of the corpses inside were unknown, but the safety rope and some standing items were still in the pockets.

Next, Qianshan hooked back another set of protective clothing, scraped up all the things that were useful to him, and then got up and looked around.

plus the previous two sets of protective clothing, there are three sets in total, and counting Liu Xinyi, there are already four people.

Forget to ask her how many people are here, otherwise it would be better to make sure if there are more people, so that you can determine if there are more bodies nearby.

After observing for a while, Qianshan didn't find anything more, nor did he find anything like a bag, and he really didn't know where they had completed their mission and where they had failed.

But soon he thought of a question, and his eyes fell on the inconspicuous little pool.

"Shhh

Qianshan thought for a moment, then opened a safety rope, tied it to a tree on the side, and then walked towards the edge of the puddle with the safety rope in one hand.

The three beasts were drinking water on the edge of the puddle before, which showed that the puddle should be safe, and there were no strange creatures and beasts hiding in it, but for the sake of safety, Qianshan was still ready to retreat as soon as possible.

With one hand pulling the safety rope, Qianshan came to the edge of the puddle and looked down.

The diameter of the puddle is only three meters at most, and the water inside is very clear and translucent, and you can see the bottom of the pit at a glance.

At the edge of this puddle there are some small holes, and the surrounding aquatic plants are carried by the current and tilted to the side, which shows that there is living water flowing at the bottom.

Standing on one side and looking, Qianshan went around to the other side and looked down, and this time he found something different.

Looking into the puddle, there was a glimmer of purple light, followed by a silver bag and a set of torn and twisted hazmat suits.

"It seems that there are really more than four people."

Qianshan smacked his lips, but he didn't expect the fifth person to die directly in the pool.

However, looking at the appearance of the protective suit, the corpses should be gone, and their so-called power stones are now stacked under the puddle, and you can see that the bag containing the power stones has been opened, and there are a lot of scattered around.

"Looks like a lot."

Qianshan's eyes rolled, then he took out the rope grappling hook, thought about it and put it back again.

Bypassing the puddle, he ran to the edge of the previous hazmat suits, found two rope grappling hooks from them, and then connected them with the shortest safety rope, he was ready to hook out the hazmat suit and bag in the puddle.

He definitely won't go down, because he doesn't know if there is any danger down here, and he doesn't want to end up like these guys.

After arranging the rope and grappling hook, Qianshan jumped on the big tree on the side, made a branch down from the big tree, and then made a fishing rod, and then stood on the side of the puddle, holding the fishing rod and using the rope to grab the hook to catch the contents of the puddle.

Standing on it and looking at the puddle, the depth is only two or three meters, which is not very deep.

But after the rope grappling hook was put down, Qianshan realized that this was an illusion, and he unfolded the rope for more than three meters and didn't even put it to the end, some things really can't be judged by the naked eye.

Just as he wanted to pull up the rope grappling hook to adjust the length, a black shadow suddenly flashed under the water, and he bit the rope grappling hook at once.

Qianshan only felt a huge force coming from under the water, and then the branch in his hand was pulled off, and he staggered back two steps.

Although the safety rope he used was only the shortest, it was also fifty meters long, and it was not cut, but it was only tied very short in front.

At this time, the safety rope was frantically dragging into the water, and Qianshan also reacted at this time, hurriedly pulled up the other end of the rope and tied it with the safety rope in his hand and tied it into a dead knot, and then pulled out his weapon and quickly retreated.
