Chapter 6 Changes in Plans

Under the cliff, the fall of the lonely line is irretrievable.

Qiuqiu turned to exhale at the front end, and immediately accelerated the speed of his fall, because he knew in his heart that only by relying on extreme speed could he dodge the numerous attacks of the Giant Tongue Toad and the Fire Beak Bird.

In the blink of an eye, the ball fell nearly a hundred feet of attack, and several long tongues with suction cups tried to attack the ball, but before they could attack, the ball had already fallen and fled.

The area where the fire-beaked birds are located has gradually returned to calm, and most of them hang upside down from the cliff face, so they do not block the space to rush downward.

The group passed through relatively safely, the Giant Tongue Toad Area and the Fire Beak Bird Area, but the downward momentum was not reduced at all, if they fell to the bottom at this speed, they would fall into meat in an instant. What's more, not far below is the Bloodthirsty Tree Cliff, where the bloodthirsty trees block the way, and they accumulate layer upon layer, revealing a narrow gap that is impossible to pass through. The green glow on the surface of the bloodthirsty tree is even more palpitating. If you rush into it and end up with no flesh and blood, it is better to fall directly to the bottom.

Seeing that it was about to fall near the buffer zone, the tip of the ball gradually stopped exhaling, and the downward momentum slowed down. Every time they failed to escape, the key to their ability to return to the bottom alive was the buffer zone several feet high.

"Bhah, prepare," he shouted, holding his right arm tightly and fixing his eyes on a flat rock protruding from the buffer zone about ten feet below.

Babbling shook his arms, and his mouth made a "babbling, babbling" sound, as if he was cheering himself up.

"Put!"

Babbling shook his arms, and several thumb-thick branches stretched out for more than a foot and were nailed into the cliff wall. The momentum of the fall suddenly decreased, and he seized the opportunity to leap into the flat rock.

Qiuqiu shrunk tightly, his eyes were a little panicked, and at this moment his body was only as big as a bucket, and he was caught under his left arm and fell on the rock together.

Xiao Li stared down tightly, only to see a few old bloodthirsty trees, swaying a few times, no big movement, and the strange flying insects around them did not scatter, obviously not aware of the location of the group.

Above the buffer zone, several red-beaked fire-beaked birds chirped a few times, and they could just see a line standing upside down. But a few of the fire-beaked birds flapped their wings only a few times, and did not dare to fly downward, because they knew that there was a lot of danger below.

Babbling slowly withdrew the tentacles of the extended branches, spat out her tender green tongue, and climbed onto the lonely back, her arms around his neck, and a pair of big eyes turned with a look of joy and carelessness.

Qiuqiu exhaled slowly, as if he didn't dare to make the slightest sound, and his big body gradually shrunk, until the dark brown fur became more and more obvious, and finally became a fist-sized, round, very cute little guy. He gasped for breath and staggered to the side of the rock, slumping limp.

The rock, jutting out of the cliff face, was slightly narrow, protruding less than two feet and about a foot long, so that only an adult man could lie flat on it.

Standing alone on the edge of the rock, looking at the dense dead trees below, his brow furrowed slightly, he let out a long breath. I've tried nearly 100 times, and I thought this time it would be a success, but I didn't expect it to end like this.

After countless calculations, he planned every step of the escape in detail, but in the end, due to the lack of strength of the ball, he missed the success.

It's really a millimeter, a thousand miles away!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth fiercely, grabbed the babbling on his back with his backhand, and threw him to the ground.

Babbling rolled on the ground a few times, opened his sleepy eyes, and opened his mouth in some confusion, as if he wanted to make a "babbling" sound.

Seeing this, he hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a sound, I will be killed by you sooner or later." I just wanted to withdraw my hand, but I suddenly remembered something, "snapped", babbled with my backhand, and said, "You can still sleep!"

At this time, Qiuqiu, who was lying on the side resting, slowly got up, stood upright, and shook off his wet brown hair. His body was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that he had been exhausted by the previous rush.

His eyes were full of pity, and he waved his hand at Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu didn't run towards the lonely man, but just faced him, his two forelimbs kept scraping his bulging face, and his small black eyes were full of moisture, looking extremely pitiful.

Knowing that he was a little self-blaming, he slowly stepped forward and comforted him softly, "You did a good job, I don't blame you, it's all stinky." ”

Qiuqiu listened, nodded slightly, and calmed down, and then crawled down his lonely arm to his shoulder and lay down steadily.

According to the approximate estimation rate of the ball, it is enough to break out of this rift by continuously inflating until the body length reaches three zhang, and the body length of three zhang is just the extreme that the body of the ball can expand.

In order to accurately realize his escape plan, he deliberately dug a stone trough and made a scale out of a white bone. In the rift, there is little sunlight, so it is difficult to have a concept of time, and he can only rely on the water in the stone trough and the scale of the white bones to remind himself of the change of time.

After many experiments, it was finally found that after the water in the stone trough was full of drops from the beginning of night, it would take about 100 drops for the noon sun to reach the bottom of the valley.

One hundred drops of water is enough time for the ball to inhale to three feet, and then take advantage of the best time to soar into the sky.

Because of the body length of Sanzhang, the gas contained in it is too huge, has been holding it without exhaling, extremely difficult, the ball can not last too long at the bottom of the valley, so it can only be stuck in time, the sink is full and begin to inhale, with almost a hundred drops of water to inhale, just when the sun shines on the bottom of the valley, inhale to the length of the body of Sanzhang, and then do not have to wait too long, you can quickly exhale and reduce pressure.

As for why it was necessary to choose to fly to the sky when the sun hit the bottom of the valley, it was naturally because of the bloodthirsty trees and strange glowing flying insects.

Those bloodthirsty trees are not afraid of fire or water, but they are extremely afraid of the sun. Therefore, the best time to escape is only when the sun shines on the valley bottom.

Therefore, it is obvious that the amount of water in the stone trough was crucial to the plan of escape. However, he had to hand over the task of looking at the stone trough to some unreliable babbling.

He always told the babbling to look at the stone trough, and when the water reached the last scale, he whistled and summoned him back.

Babbling always patted his chest and promised, but there were always all kinds of messes. Some time ago, he often fell asleep and could not be notified on time, and after several beatings and scoldings, he did not sleep, but secretly drank the water in the sink. This time, it was because he stole the water from the sink that he misestimated the time, so that Qiuqiu did not have enough time to breathe.

As for why he didn't stay by the stone trough all the time, it was because he had something else to do.

Every day at nightfall, there is a clear sign that tens of thousands of patina beetles will spring up from the bone-layered ground. Although those beetles would not attack them, at a glance, the dense beetles crawling on the white bones could not help but tremble in people's hearts. The beetles will seek out the newly fallen bones and suck the marrow from them.

From the moment the beetle appears, Solitary has to prepare for its escape. First, he empties the sink, recalculates, and then catches some beetles and puts them in the package to use as smoke bombs to confuse the Macrotongue.

Finally, one of the most time-consuming things to do is to get rid of the large number of mouse-shaped creatures around you. These rat-like creatures are very afraid of fire, they feed on beetles on the ground, and their bodies are somewhat similar to those of Ballball, but they have never been seen to breathe, and they do not have the ability to breathe.

All he had to do was to mount the ball on the back of the ball with a torch in his hand and drive the rat-shapes into the distance, because every time noon approached, the balls were ready to soar into the sky, and the rat-shapes would surround them. When they arrive, they will use various methods to prevent the ball from clashing. So he had to fight to drive the rat-like creatures as far as possible so as not to be disturbed by them.

Because of this, he could only be left to babble and guard the stone trough, and as for why he was summoned back when there was still one tick left, it was because he still needed to reserve some time for the ball and the cost of the lone back to the trough.

Lonely has always had doubts, those rat-like creatures usually don't attack them, but they stop the ball when it is about to soar into the sky.

"Isn't it me who wants to stay, but Qiuqiu?" a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It's not impossible, although Qiuqiu's abilities and spirituality are much larger than those of the rat-like creatures, and their forms are slightly different, but there are many similarities in general, and they seem to be faintly in awe of Qiuqiu.

"Could it be that they have some special relationship with Qiuqiu?" thought to him, frowning.
