Chapter 169: A Difficult Journey
Although from the moment they stepped into the Great Khing'an Mountains, several people knew that the most arduous part of the journey would start now, but no one expected that the difficulty of this journey would far exceed their imagination.
The mountain roads are rugged and difficult, and the supplies are insufficient, these difficulties are expected by several people, and they are fortunate to have the help of a wilderness survival expert like Li Lin.
Li Lin was not only able to make the whole team successfully avoid the territory of some wild beasts through various traces on the ground, so that the whole team could avoid encountering wild beasts and being attacked by wild beasts, but also replenished food by hunting some wild animals and collecting some wild fruits and wild plants. At the same time, one of his great skills is to determine the location of water sources by the moss marks on the ground, and replenish fresh water for veterans.
Du Zifeng's rich experience in rock climbing allows some people to avoid taking some rugged mountain roads, which not only reduces the distance they need to walk, speeds up the speed of the team, but also avoids some dangerous areas.
Walking in these places where even wild beasts didn't want to go, Chen Ziyang really doubted the authenticity of what the general of the Bohai Ancient Kingdom who had left the letter had said. Such a road is not at all suitable for the walking of large groups of people. The more people there are, the more dangerous it is to walk in a rough place like this.
Then Chen Ziyang figured out the reason, the road they took may not be the route taken by the general to escort the treasure back then. The route taken by that general back then may have been approaching the Bohai Palace from the other side. After the dungeon was sealed, both the general and his soldiers were killed for the sake of secrecy.
And the route taken by these people is the route that has been designed before, just to facilitate the search of future generations, and at the same time, in order to conceal, so they chose such a difficult route. It is very likely that this journey to find the dragon trick was designed before the dungeon was closed, so the general was allowed to enter the dungeon from the other side, just to prevent them from discovering the dragon twink.
After the team found the twelfth magnet pillar, Chen Ziyang took out a small notebook he was carrying, looked at the time on his watch, and then recorded the time, which was already the sixteenth day they had entered the mountain.
The progress is so slow, which Chen Ziyang never expected. This is also the biggest difficulty they are currently encountering. That is, the whole journey took too long, much longer than they expected, and before entering the Great Khing'an Mountains area, in that section of the plain, they could find a magnet pillar in an average of one to two days.
The speed of the car is relatively fast, on the one hand, and the other reason is that it is because in that plain area, it is easy to find this kind of magnet pillar, as long as the pointer on the compass is attracted by the magnet, then there is a 99% probability that it is this kind of stone pillar that attracts the compass pointer.
However, when the team entered the Great Khing'an Mountains, they found that what could attract the compass was not only this kind of magnet pillar, but also some other things. Iron ore or magnet ore can bend the needle of the compass.
Once, Chen Ziyang and the others thought they had found this kind of stone pillar, but after digging it up, they found that it was just a magnetic meteorite or something, and several people wasted half a day and a lot of physical strength in vain.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyang has more experience in the use of dragon hunting techniques, and knows how to move in the direction of a ridge or ravine, so he will rarely be misled by some other things, and the possibility of being misled is minimized, otherwise, the team's travel speed will be even slower.
Carefully looking at the time recorded in the small notebook one after another, Chen Ziyang calculated that on average, the mountain road between the two magnet pillars would take them about a day and a half. This is also because they carry a relatively light weight and the number of people in the team is relatively small, if it is a large team with a large number of people in ancient times, then the average distance between two stone pillars will take two full days.
Every time a magnet pillar is found, it takes half a day to a day to dig it up to confirm. At the same time, you have to collect food and water on the way, and you have to find a camp and set up a tent before going to bed at night, so it takes 3 to 4 days to find a magnet pillar.
This is something that Chen Ziyang never expected, the longer it takes, the more the team's supplies will be consumed, and the more the physical strength of the team members will decrease. When the stamina decreases, the problem is that it takes longer to walk the same distance, which will consume more physical strength of the sustenance and team members, forming a vicious circle.
Because seeing that everyone in the team was tired, the experienced Li Lin proposed to rest here for 1 to 2 days, and then continue to move forward after everyone was fully rested.
Except for Zhang San and Li Si, who seemed to be nothing, the other six people were already exhausted, and even what Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that even Li Lin, an expert in wilderness survival, was already tired, it seems that some things, practice and theory are really different.
The most hateful thing is Yang Lei, on the second day of entering the mountain, after he ate a meal of wild mushroom stew and pheasant made by Li Lin, he was full of praise, and said that he would be blessed in the future, and he could eat such good game every day. But as time passed, he became more and more disgusted with these tasteless game.
On the night of the rest, Chen Ziyang found that Yang Lei secretly took out the compressed biscuits in his backpack to eat while sleeping. More than 60 percent of the weight in several people's backpacks is occupied by this compressed biscuit.
If you want to survive in this barren mountain range, food and water are indispensable, because with Li Lin, a wilderness survival expert, so basically fresh water can be replenished from time to time, but if there is no food, then even he has no choice.
So before leaving, everyone brings the most is this kind of compressed biscuits, these compressed biscuits are absolutely not allowed to eat until the food is exhausted, these things have no place to supplement, really eat a piece is less than a piece. Seeing Yang Lei's pig-like appearance, Chen Ziyang was so angry that he kicked him.
Yang Lei eats these cookies, and he may save a life at a critical moment.
