Chapter 42: The Prairie

Here it is...... After waking up, what Qin Mo saw was an endless grassland, and there were still some cattle and sheep grazing not far away, and he helped his forehead, Qin Mo felt that his head was really headache now.

Trying to recall what happened, the last memory was frozen in the words that Le Cheng said, and then his eyes turned black, and when Qin Mo woke up, he had already appeared here!

Leng Yue, Le Cheng! suddenly. Looking around, there was nothing, the clothes on his body were still intact, and Qin Mo was the only one around. Wanted to use the ability, but didn't have the slightest use. After feeling the body, I found that the abilities in the body had been completely cleared. Not a single trace of energy remained, but the body that had been trained with the ability was still maintained. In other words, the current Qin Mo is just an ordinary person who can see inward, but does not have the slightest ability, and is stronger than ordinary people!

Everything is gone, all along, Qin Mo has also thought about making the ability disappear, but when it really comes to this moment, he is a little reluctant, the ability that has been with him for so long disappeared today.

"Perhaps, it's better to do this!" Looking into the distance in confusion, Qin Mo muttered to himself with a hint of loss!

This vast grassland, Qin Mo doesn't know where it is, as a road idiot, he doesn't know which province this is, anyway, as long as he keeps walking, the sense of loss after the original ability completely disappeared has long been thrown away by him. Now that the ability is gone, life is still going on, and besides, even if your current body is attacked by an ordinary ability, you may not necessarily lose!

For seven days, for seven whole days, Qin Mo was still wandering on this damn grassland, and he tried to catch a sheep to satisfy his hunger, and if he couldn't finish eating the meat, he would smoke it dry, and take part of the meat with him, and let it stay where it was. When you are thirsty, drink from the stream. Qin Mo has also been following the direction of the stream, constantly advancing. Even if he no longer has any special abilities, he has survived in the wild in the past, and Qin Mo still understands how to survive.

Time keeps passing, Qin Mo has been walking along the creek for a long time, but the grassland is still a grassland, and he can't see any people, Qin Mo is not in a hurry, there is no use in being anxious at this time, walking along the creek all the time, no matter how far it is, you can definitely find people, it's just that as you go deeper and deeper into the grassland, there seem to be a lot fewer animals around, although there is more grass here than the one behind Qin Mo, and it is greener, but I don't know why, most of the animals don't plan to step into that place. Occasionally, an animal would come running in the distance, only to turn a corner and then walk away.

The animals are decreasing, and the meat on Qin Mo's body is also saved to eat, at least it can last for about a week, fortunately, the stream that has been following has no intention of breaking the flow, if it really stops, Qin Mo will have to find a water source in addition to worrying about food.

At night, occasionally, Qin Mo looked at the stars in the sky, and he would wonder where Leng Yue and Le Cheng had gone now, whether they had already gone back, or if they were the same as himself!

Another week passed, and before the food was eaten, Qin Mo finally followed the stream through the grassland and came to a primeval forest, the water of the stream slowly flowed into the forest, and when Qin Mo arrived here, he could no longer continue to rely on the stream to lead the way! Because the water of the stream continued to flow into a crack with a very high drop, it was pitch black, and only the sound of the stream falling continued to echo around.

A stone was thrown down, and there was no response after a long time, which also stopped Qin Mo's idea of finding a way to climb down, and it took about ten seconds before he fell into the water, that gap, if you don't pay attention to it, you will die!

There was no way, Qin Mo had no choice but to enter the forest and fill a few water bags with water, this was the water bag that Qin Mo made from the stomach bags of those animals killed by it, although the smell was still very strong, but at least it was much lighter than when he first arrived, and in the forest, if you want to find water, you really have to rely on technology and luck, and it is definitely a matter of preparedness to fill a few more water bags.

Once in the forest, everything becomes very unnatural, the sunlight is almost blocked by the leaves, and on the ground, the only way to reach the sunlight is through a crevice. It also makes the line of sight from below darker.

At the beginning, Qin Mo didn't feel too much when he was outside the forest, but the deeper he went, the more he found the problem of insufficient light. It's just that when I turned my head and looked behind, there were almost all kinds of trees all around, and it was very difficult to see that I wanted to go back the way I came!

The light is insufficient, which is indeed unexpected, but there is no way to go back now, so I can only move forward! Fortunately, thanks to Qin Mo's physique that has been trained through his abilities, ordinary people's physical strength cannot support walking such a long distance at all.

Qin Mo himself now feels like he is playing a wilderness to survive, the only difference is that Qin Mo is bare-handed, he doesn't have weapons such as knives, and if he wants to hunt, he can only find a way to cut the head of the thicker branch into a pointed end.

Night is approaching, and the darkness in the forest usually comes a little faster than outside. Early on, Qin Mo had already made preparations, took out two flints to polish the withered grass, although the difficulty was very high, but it was still not difficult for Qin Mo, just after wiping more than ten times, he had already lit the pile of withered grass.

It is a very dangerous thing to take some bacon from your body, to carry it in the forest, at night, not to mention in a forest where you don't know where. But there is no way to do it, in the forest, it is much more difficult to hunt prey than in the grassland. After all, no matter how fast they run, they are not as fast as Qin Mo. Moreover, almost all the animals in the grassland appear in the daytime, and the carnivores in the forest almost always appear in the night, wanting to hunt these carnivores in the night. No matter how confident Qin Mo was, he couldn't face the entire forest.

Speed up and eat all the food, put away the rest of the bacon, in the dark night, Qin Mo didn't want to be waited for by those beasts. There were even a few simple traps around the fire, as long as something was triggered, Qin Mo would be able to wake up immediately.

With a slight jump and a hook of his feet, the whole person went directly up to the branch. Under the light of the fire, Qin Mo carefully walked to his temporary shelter, more than a dozen logs straddled the thick branches that had been tied, and there were a few leaves above to cover it, even if it rained, it would be difficult for the rain to wet Qin Mo.

When Qin Mo went up to the tree, the real night in the forest officially began, and countless roars sounded in the forest, some knew and some didn't. There were even several beasts with huge bodies that passed by Qin Mo's fire one after another, but fortunately, they didn't have much to do, extinguished the fire, just roared a few words, and left directly.

Sleepless all night, at least for Qin Mo, this was true, and while he was motionless, he watched the fire under him constantly appear one huge beast after another. Every time they came to the fire, they had to pause, as if looking for something. But in the end, when they didn't find it, the monsters slowly walked away.

When he got up during the day the next day, Qin Mo still had his eyes open, this night, he couldn't fall asleep, at least in Qin Mo's case, no matter who he was, it was unlikely that anyone would fall asleep, maybe in the middle of the night, you would have been eaten!

Jumping from the temporary shelter and extinguishing the fire, Qin Mo still kept moving along the path he had taken at the beginning, and in the absence of people, Qin Mo trusted his instincts and had the confidence to deal with his choice.

With 3 stomach pouches, two empty and one still full, this little bit of water is simply impossible to support for too long. The urgency to find a source of water is a matter of life and death. In the forest, even if nothing is done, the human body will deplete water at least twice as fast as in the grasslands outside, so finding water is more urgent than finding food.

Although he didn't sleep much last night, on the ground, except for the one that was destroyed at the beginning, the rest of the traps had not been destroyed, which was a good thing for Qin Mo, at least it could prove that there were relatively few beasts in this area!

Put out the fire, take a few charcoal cubes that are not hot and have cooled thoroughly from the edge of the fire, put them in your pocket, and continue walking.

In the forest during the day, there were hardly any large carnivores, and on the branches, there were occasionally a few unknown small birds chirping, but on the ground, it was so quiet, except for the sound of Qin Mo's footsteps and the sound of the breeze blowing, driving the leaves to fly, there was no other sound.

And at this time, the sense of hearing is also infinitely amplified, and any slight sound of water in all directions will be transmitted into Qin Mo's ears. As you move forward, pay attention to your surroundings. Someone once said that the speed of walking in the forest is very slow, and Qin Mo agrees with this sentence very much, even if he has tried it once now.

This forest is very primitive, there are almost no roads, if you want to move forward, you can only keep opening a path through your body, Qin Mo estimates that it is good for him to be able to walk two kilometers before dark, and the worst thing is that he only walks a few hundred meters away.

Dead ends... Dead ends... Almost all of Qin Mo's forward route would have these strange dead ends, and Qin Mo had to be forced to take a detour, but fortunately, such a detour back and forth made Qin Mo finally see a stone mountain, and also reassured Qin Mo, who had always thought that he was going around in circles.

This stone mountain is very high, just like a strange flower in the forest, around the stone mountain, there are almost no trees that can grow, and the material of the stone mountain does not seem to be very suitable for the growth of plants, a bare piece, only one or two green plants grow on it.

This can be regarded as a good thing for Qin Mo, although the stone mountain looks very steep, it can still be climbed, and looking at the peak of the stone mountain, at least from below, it looks higher than those big trees.

Holding back this joyful mood, the time has unconsciously reached the afternoon and approaching the evening, and if you want to climb the top of this stone mountain, you will have to wait at least tomorrow before you can act. However, there is almost no difficulty for Qin Mo to spend the night tonight, under the stone mountain, there are many deep or shallow stone caves, go up and check carefully, and find no danger, but in a certain stone cave, he found a few teeth as big as tiger teeth, the teeth are extremely sharp, and the tooth body is not very curved like the animals that Qin Mo knows, it is very straight, only slightly curved, and it can be used as a primitive short sword. Qin Mo even felt that the sharpness of his teeth, even those specially built weapons, might not be able to compare.

Although he got a weapon, he did remind Qin Mo that this stone mountain was not a good place, in the forest, no matter where he was, it was full of danger, especially after the night fell, the danger in the forest was greatly increased.

I chose a cave with a good location, the inside is not very deep, but it is not shallow either, the most important thing is that there is a turning opening on the ground at the entrance of the cave, as long as Qin Mo covers some branches and stones and other things outside the entrance of the cave, it will not be too conspicuous to raise a bonfire inside.

Just do it, Qin Mo set out to prepare the things to be prepared, put the branches too conspicuous outside the cave entrance, this will not be done, move some large stones into the cave entrance, as long as most of the cave entrances are blocked, it will be completed, during which Qin Mo also went to the forest to pick up a lot of dry firewood. This night, Qin Mo is not going to eat, if he wants to eat, he should wait until tomorrow to eat!
