Chapter 14
Qi Yuancheng seemed to have thought of something, and quickly touched the mobile phone in his pocket, but it was empty. The phone may have been lost in the river while rafting.
Qi Yuancheng was a little frustrated, although he had the idea of leaving the team, but after a night of horror, he was afraid, so he naturally wanted to get in touch with the expedition team. He took the walkie-talkie that had been given to him from his backpack and tried to adjust it.
The quality of the equipment provided by Director Jin is indeed excellent, and he can continue to work after being blistered for so long. Qi Yuancheng ignited a glimmer of hope, he quickly adjusted the frequency of the team and called. But for a while, there was nothing but noise in it.
Although Qi Yuancheng was mentally prepared, he was still nervous. The effective distance of this walkie-talkie should be within ten kilometers, and it is impossible to contact at this moment, indicating that he has left the expedition for a considerable distance, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet in a short time. He looked at the river not far away, where the current had slowed down, indicating that it was relatively far downstream.
Basically figured out his situation, Qi Yuancheng gradually calmed down and was no longer entangled. He originally planned to explore alone, and since he didn't die, he must have a blessing. In addition, his own personality is quite open-minded, so he simply thought about the future itinerary.
Qi Yuancheng first took out medicine from his backpack and bandaged several wounds on his body, and then took some medicines to prevent diarrhea and inflammation.
At this time, the weather in the mountainous areas of Northeast Province was already very cold, Qi Yuancheng soaked in the water all night and was wet and cold, he raised the fire and set up a stove to warm and boil water.
Qi Yuancheng looked at the rivers and mountains around him, and deduced that he should have entered the hinterland of the Yunchi Mountains. If you go up the river, you should be able to find the cliff where everyone is camping, and follow the footsteps of the expedition to the Jurchen ruins to meet or return the same way. This is the safest way to get out of the mountain. But the strange snake was around him, and he didn't dare to bring danger to the expedition team rashly.
Qi Yuancheng simply put his heart sideways, planning not to rush to meet with everyone first, and to explore the mountains by himself before making plans. He had a hunch that there was a sense between the Source Field Force and the Xinshi that they would attract each other, and there was a high probability of meeting.
Qi Yuancheng ate some more food, and after resting and recovering his strength, he headed towards the highest mountain as far as his eye could see. He kept leaving marks on the spot and along the way, leaving a way back for himself.
Qi Yuancheng used the compass to check the direction all the way, and found that the direction he was traveling was south-west. If memory serves, the direction of his expedition towards the main peak of Yunchi Mountain was south-east. According to this direction, it is roughly inferred that he was carried far away by the river.
Thinking of this, Qi Yuancheng was not depressed, but a little excited. He wondered, if he left far enough, would the source field force not be sensed by the strange snake? He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully released the red mist from his hands.
As he expected, while releasing the red mist, there was no longer the cold feeling that followed him before. Qi Yuancheng didn't dare to be careless, and slowly increased the amount of red mist released, but there was still nothing abnormal.
Qi Yuancheng simply released the red mist with all his might, and the dense red mist within a radius of two meters where he was enveloped, and there was still no cold feeling. He finally put his mind at ease, ignoring the mental exhaustion brought by exerting his source field power with all his might, and manipulated the red mist to fly up and down.
Speaking of which, since arriving in Northeast Province, Qi Yuancheng has never exerted his source field power so freely. This all-out action made him physically and mentally happy.
"Finally, I don't have to suffer the evil anger of that strange snake!" Qi Yuancheng was overjoyed in his heart. But after a second thought, he calmed down again. Qi Yuancheng was originally a cautious and careful person, and he understood that as he went, it was very likely that he would encounter a strange snake again, and even encounter the ancient rock creature that he speculated. He slowly dissipated the red mist and returned to a cautious and low-key manner.
The path Qi Yuancheng chose was to follow a stream, which could ensure that he did not deviate from the water source. But it also comes with risks, and water is often a place for wild animals.
However, in the past few days, Qi Yuancheng did not encounter any large beasts, at most he saw some small animals, and most of them fled under his intimidation, and he didn't even have a chance to use his source field power.
Early that morning, Qi Yuancheng packed up his tent and came to the stream a few hundred meters away, intending to install some water roads. Suddenly, he noticed a huge paw print on the mud by the stream.
Qi Yuancheng was taken aback, such a big paw print was the first time he had seen it since he entered the mountain. He measured the size of the paw prints, and recalled the knowledge of mountain wildlife that Director Jin had given everyone before.
It's a black bear!
Qi Yuancheng was secretly vigilant in his heart. He looked around and saw that the footprint was freshly stepped on. There are also several identical paw prints nearby, and it seems that they are walking towards the other side of the stream.
Facing the trail of this black bear, known as the mountain god, Qi Yuancheng's first thought was not to avoid it quickly, but to track it down and take a look. His intuition told him that if he found a black bear, he might find something.
Qi Yuancheng released a few wisps of red mist to guard around him, and slowly followed the direction of the paw print.
The more he followed the paw prints, the more frightened Qi Yuancheng became. The black bear seemed to be in a bad mood, and its strength was terrifying, and the large and small trees along the road were tilted crookedly.
"This brute is easy to do, and he is only willing to walk in a straight line." Qi Yuancheng muttered in his heart.
At this moment, Qi Yuancheng heard a huge beast roar. Then came another different roar.
"Are there two beasts? No wonder I didn't see any animals along the way. Qi Yuancheng secretly complained, he felt a little reckless. He quickly leaned against a tree and looked around.
The beast's roar continued, sounding like two beasts were fighting and biting.
Qi Yuancheng calmed down slightly, and he quietly walked in the direction where the roar came from.
Pushing aside a bush, what appeared in front of Qi Yuancheng's eyes was a rare scene. A huge black bear is confronting a colorful tiger.
Qi Yuancheng was so shocked that he almost screamed. He slowly stepped back and retreated to a large tree ten meters behind him. He climbed up the tree three times and divided by two, and watched the battle between the two divine beasts of Yunchi Mountain condescendingly.
Liquid kept dripping down the body of the black bear, and Qi Yuancheng found that it was a little bloodstain, and it seemed that this big guy had suffered a lot. On the other hand, the Northeast Provincial Tiger does not seem to have suffered any serious injuries except for some wheezing.
At this time, the black bear roared again and attacked, and it stood up and pounced on the Northeast Provincial Tiger. The Northeast Provincial Tiger seemed to be a little afraid of the black bear, and it didn't choose to hit it hard, but just jumped back and left another wound on the black bear.
The black bear didn't succeed in this pounce, but it didn't retract its strength, and slapped its claws on a big tree, which was like a fragile glass rod, and was actually broken by the black bear's waist.
