The leader of the advance group also had a very embarrassed look on his face, looked at Ding Qin, and sighed lightly, "Childe, twelve or thirteen miles ahead, there was a big cliff. The length of the entire cliff cannot be measured, because from the field of view alone, we cannot see the edge, and it is estimated that it is not less than a hundred miles. ”

Ding Qin frowned, "Then, what about the depth and width?"

The team leader said, "The depth is unfathomable. The rope we were carrying was not connected to the end. In terms of width, it is not less than five or six miles by sight. ”

Ding Qin took a deep breath and began to imagine the data in his mind. Feng Lei took the map, drew on it, and said, "I know where we are." ”

Ding Qin turned around and looked at the map, but there were no obvious marks on the map. "Where?"

"It should be the legendary Jinsha Cliff. Legend has it that there is one of the most dangerous narrow strips of land in the desert. On one side, it eventually meets the coast, and on the other, it meets the Red Rock Valley of the Red Rock Mountains. Due to the deep desert hinterland, for nearly a hundred years, almost no one has confirmed its existence. I'm just extrapolating from the relative position now. Feng Lei said as he pointed to the only city marked on the map, "Childe look here." ”

He drew a circle on the city with his hand, "This city is the city of Guan Gezhuang." From the Guangezhuang Castle to the left, according to the distance we traveled, it was almost Hongyan Valley, but it was not marked on the map. There is only one official road from the thirteen towns in the north to the imperial capital that does not have the possibility of a detour, and that is the Hongyan Valley Chain Bridge. It is also the only way to enter the imperial capital on a regular basis. ”

Ding Qin nodded slowly, "Then, how far are we from the chain bridge? What if we turn around now and walk along the big cliff?"

Feng Lei shook his head, "This, impossible. As I said, there is no possibility of a detour to the chain bridge. Because on both sides of the chain bridge, there is a wide stretch of primeval forest. In the forest, all kinds of magical beasts are clustered, and poisonous plants grow wildly, which is unpredictable. Even if he has a cultivation of spiritual power of the second order or above, he does not dare to enter rashly. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ding Qin with the leader of the precursor group, as if waiting for Ding Qin's decision.

Ding Qin's heart quickly became cold. After walking for so long from Tongbao City, I actually came to an insurmountable cliff. But soon, he rekindled hope.

"A hundred years ago, didn't the Thirteen Towns in the North go from the Longyang Ancient Road? And this legend shouldn't have existed in the past hundred years, right?" he turned to Feng Lei, waiting for Feng Lei's response.

Feng Lei nodded slowly, "The Jinsha Great Cliff should have a legend from a long time ago, at least it will not be close to the period when the Thirteen Towns in the North Volunteers Saved the Emperor. Otherwise, if the Thirteen Towns sent troops, they would not be called strange soldiers. ”

"That said, there must be a way to get through. Ding Qin looked into the distance, "Let's go to the edge of the cliff first." ”

Feng Lei did not object. He immediately ordered the personnel to be gathered, and together with Ding Qin, he walked towards that side with the leader of the advance team.

Due to the relative eagerness, the pace of the march this morning was also much faster. It only took about an hour and a half to reach the location mentioned by the leader of the striking.

Only when I stand here can I feel the greatness of nature.

The large cliff that runs through the east and west, and there is no edge in sight. About a few dozen meters from the edge of the cliff, the sand was blown by the wind, and then slowly slid down and fell into the cliff. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to jump over the cliff without jumping over it, just approaching the edge of the cliff.

Looking ahead, the opposite side of the cliff is clearly visible. The team leader said that there were five or six miles, which was about the same distance as Ding Qin estimated.

Of course, Ding Qin is not in the mood to praise now. Everything he saw was like a whip, whipping the only glimmer of hope left in his heart.

"I'm going to go to the side and have a look. Ding Qin looked at Feng Lei, and then at the leader of the advance group. The team leader did not object, and asked someone to bring over a rope and tie it horizontally around Ding Qin's waist. In this way, even if there is anything wrong with Ding Qin's feet, they can pull Ding Qin back.

With this rope, Ding Qin slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.

As he walked, a patch of sand slid down with a rustling sound. When I stood on the edge of the cliff, my feet were obviously extremely soft and unstable, which made people feel a little more frightened, and when I looked down, I don't know whether it was water vapor or dust, it was gray and gray, and I felt dizzy.

"With your current cultivation, I've thought it's hard here. The bone soul sighed in Ding Qin's sea of knowledge, "This kind of place, if you want to go through it with courage and perseverance, it is almost impossible. ”

Ding Qin looked at the bottom of the cliff, and a blank appeared in his mind for a while. After that, he asked the bone soul, "What about walking through the primeval forest?"

Bone Soul said, "Almost." Perhaps, if you go into this cliff, you will die faster, and if you go into the forest, you will die more painfully. ”

Ding Qin's head was full of black lines. The bone soul actually gave such an answer!

However, he thought of another situation, "Well, what if you go from the sea?"

The bone soul didn't say directly, "You try the water vapor here first." ”

Ding Qin didn't know the specific intention of the bone soul, but he still used his spiritual power and tried the water trick. In comparison, the water vapor here is not ordinarily abundant. It is even much thicker than some oases, and it can almost easily condense large amounts of water.

"Very strong. It's like there's a river. Ding Qin collected the spiritual power and gave such a judgment.

Bone Soul said, "That's right. Generally speaking, such cliffs rarely appear in the desert, because the wind and sand will blow the sand to the bottom of the cliff, and over time, it will pile up. Unless, there is a big river down there. The river carries away all the sand and keeps the entire cliff in place. ”

He paused for a moment, "In this way, where the cliff meets the sea, an estuary is formed into a bay. And in such a place, due to the large amount of nutrients brought by the river, the number of various creatures is extremely dense, including the sea monster. Such a place is more terrifying than a forest. ”

The Bone Soul finally added, "If you decide to go from there, you will die faster and more painfully than the forest." ”

Ding Qin wanted to say to him, saying that he would not die, but there was no exit. Whether to die or not is not the fundamental question to be faced now. "How do you think, 100 years ago, that army passed? They should be facing the same problem. ”

Bone Soul said, "I don't know. Come to think of it, if they had known that there was a big cliff in Jinsha, they should have made some preparations in advance. I do know that there is a kind of glider that glides through the air for short distances. There is a certain gap between the cliff and this side, but I am not sure whether this distance of five or six miles can be done. ”

This news undoubtedly made Ding Qin feel like a light appeared in the dark night. Although this light is not its own goal, it can at least point in a direction.

"Give me the drawings. I'll try it right away. Ding Qin communicated with the bone soul and returned to the team. Feng Lei greeted him and asked with concern, "How is it?"

Ding Qin explained the water vapor to them, and at the same time denied the idea of detouring to the sea. After that, according to the drawings given by the bone soul, he made a list, "Use the shortest time to find all these." We should have both. ”

Feng Lei was a little curious about these materials, "What is this?"

Ding Qin said, "A kind of glider." It is possible to glide for a certain distance. We can try to use it to get to the other side. ”

When Feng Lei heard this, he was also overjoyed, and immediately ordered people to prepare. Soon, a pile of materials was placed in front of Ding Qin's eyes.

To make a glider, there are not too many materials required, mainly supports and cloth. However, it takes a lot of work to connect them firmly. At the same time, in order to increase the effectiveness of the glider, Ding Qin also carved a special formation pattern on the finished product to achieve the role of spiritual power driving air, stabilizing flight balance and increasing flight distance.

Therefore, by the time the glide wing was made, it was already noon.

Not only Ding Qin, but everyone in the entire team is full of expectations for this gliding wing. This is currently the only possible way for them to pass the Great Cliff.

However, for the sake of prudence, Ding Qin did not test it immediately. After repeatedly confirming the reliability of the glider, he chose the opposite direction of the big cliff, hitched on it himself, and flew for a while.

With the infusion of spiritual power, under the impetus of his run-up, the glider was successfully lifted into the air. Entering the air, although it is said that it has lost the power under its feet, the formation can still provide a weak drive, so the distance of sliding out is quite long, until about six miles, and there is no obvious sign of landing.

Ding Qin was overjoyed. Such a distance is enough for the passage of this large cliff.

He retracted the spiritual power that had been infused into it, and the glider landed slowly and gently.

Because he was far away from the team, Ding Qin rose into the air again and came in the opposite direction. But this time, there was a little surprise.

Wind.

At the beginning of the test, it was almost calm and windless. This time, after flying into the air, a strong wind blew, and the flight range immediately deviated significantly. If it weren't for Ding Qin finding out that something was wrong and immediately putting away his spiritual power and landing, I am afraid that he would be able to deviate to the side for several miles at once.

Originally, he was still thinking that he could use this thing in the future march. But now it seems that it is almost impossible to explore the ground and fly in the air at the same time.

Because the glider's control of the direction is really poor. If the wind is a little stronger, it will cause people to deviate from the direction.

The bone soul also sighed in Ding Qinzhihai, "Boy, you think too much." If there was such an easy way to help you get through the desert, wouldn't I have told you a long time ago? ”

Ding Qin smiled bitterly. It was only after the wind had subsided for a moment that he adjusted his direction and returned. Affected by the direction of the wind, he landed several times before returning to the team.

Despite this, Feng Lei and the others were still excited. Feng Lei has even summoned test pilots to his subordinates, and no less than ten people have enthusiastically signed up.

"The first time I crossed the test flight, they couldn't do it. Ding Qin lowered the glider and said in an unusually firm tone.

"Why?" Not only those people, but even Feng Lei couldn't help but ask.
