Chapter Fifty-Eight: Wading into the Waters and Encountering Obstacles
The idea of a 3D spatial vision system is wonderful, but Loki admits that reality isn't that easy.
Because at present, the so-called 3D spatial vision system is only an idea for him, and the completion of its plan is only 9%, and there are still many difficulties to solve, such as the analytic geometry and some complex equations that need to be improved, and the external image data must be continuously collected and digitized.
A digital patch of information flashed through the optic nerve image, and Loki invested 45% of his resources in 3D spatial vision to accelerate the completion of the project.
The rain in the forest was endless, and the sound of raindrops snapping in my ears was in my ears, and the rain in the dark night gradually became heavier, converging into small streams that washed away the campfires that had been extinguished long ago.
Loki took out a piece of bacon jerky and chewed it silently in his mouth, under the premise of food, bioenergy and body nutrition can be replenished frequently.
He looked out and observed for a little that the heavy rain would not affect him in the tree hole, and the half-elf boy, who was physically exhausted, quickly fell into a deep sleep.
......
In the early morning, the heavy rain outside had already stopped, there was no morning fog, and the air in the dense forest was exceptionally fresh.
Loki was woken up by a crisp and noisy birdsong.
However, he didn't expect to sleep lazily or anything, this forest of secret words on the surface and Xi was full of all kinds of deadly dangers inside, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
After eating a little, Loki packed his bags, confirmed a giant tree to the west as a reference, and quickly set off on his journey.
Stop and go, while carefully hiding in the dark poisonous insects and small beasts and other dangers, at the same time he will also find some foliage vegetation, stop to collect dew, although there is no shortage of drinking water for the time being, but for the consumption of the road behind, he has to collect more water to prepare.
Although the vegetation was dense or sparse along the way, there was a sound of water flowing in his ears, and Loki followed the sound through the trees and suddenly found a clear stream.
The stream is more than four meters wide and shallow enough than thigh highs on both sides of the river, and the water is so clear that you can even see a few small fish swimming at the bottom of the river.
For the average traveler, the river can be pinned by its downward direction, but Loki doesn't need this wayfinding method, but he's glad to see it.
He carefully watched to see if there were any dangerous animals in the vicinity of the inspector, and when he found it safe, he finally relaxed and walked to the clear water, leaned over and sold his whole head into the water.
After a few large sips of sweet stream water, he almost filled his stomach half-full.
Next, Loki didn't care about anything, took off his bag and weapon, and the whole person sprinted into the fish and jumped up, and plunged into the cool water diagonally.
While fluttering happily, Loki cleaned his body vigorously at the same time, some of the old injuries on his body had long since scabbed, and he felt very comfortable after washing.
His hair was finally no longer in the shape of a bird's nest, and he had cleaned it, and the dark blonde hair hung down, but it somewhat covered his eyes.
Loki gave himself a brief grooming of his hair, patiently using the tactical claw knife to make it short little by little.
Under his dark golden hair, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, his gray eyes are particularly bright, his little face is also clean, his mouth is slightly closed, but the masseter muscles of his cheeks are much more developed than his peers, and his overall face is distinctive, giving people a sense of tenacity and stubbornness.
......
In an unknown stream in the Forest of Whispers, a small fire was lit on the bank, on which were skewers of small grilled fish threaded with branches.
After a while, there was a burst of meaty smell.
Loki didn't care about the scorched beard on the surface, and began to eat it in his mouth, and even some of the fish bones were ground to pieces by his teeth and swallowed directly into his stomach.
After a good repair, it was past noon, and Loki was lying on the edge of the sun-drenched riverbank, he felt that the nerves that had been tense for days had finally been rested, and the exhaustion of his body had dissipated a lot.
Loki sighed softly, this was what it was like to be unoppressed and unrestrained, and he had waited in fear for a whole decade.
It's a nostalgic feeling.
But it's not time to relax, or rather, to be vigilant all your life, Loki secretly admonished himself.
The experience of near-death several times made him completely understand that he was still in a weak position.
If it weren't for luck, he might have died at the hands of Quaid and Justin, or buried in this strange forest.
Pack up your bags, put all the weapons on your body, two tactical claw knives hidden in the back waist scabbard, a serrated tactical straight knife hidden in the cuff of the right hand, the dog-legged knife hung at the waist, and as for the short-arm crossbow produced by Brute Hammer, it was carried behind the body along with the crossbow quiver.
This time he didn't plan to go directly through the Secret Forest, Loki replanned his route, intending to follow the downstream of the stream, in a western-south direction, although the road might be a little farther away, but it would avoid all kinds of possible dangers in the forest.
Walking on the river beach is much easier than in the dense forest, and although you sometimes need to wade through the water, the danger is greatly reduced, and you don't have to worry about the elusive poisonous insects and the plant that can devour the whole person.
Along the stream, this walk is more than a whole day.
Sleeping carefully at night, and continuing to try to walk along the riverbank during the day, without the danger from the strange secret forest, he was much more relaxed, and even felt like he was doing outdoor wading.
Along the way, Loki discovered that the course of the stream began to change, the depth of the river could reach the top of an adult's head, and the speed of the water increased considerably.
He carried his bags and walked along the river for some more time.
At this time, there was a low roar ahead, and the mist gradually drifted in with a little breeze.
Loki's sonic sense of sound could easily be fed back as the sound of a ripiding waterfall. The good road is coming to an end soon.
After walking for a while, there was a huge height difference in front of me, and the river flowed sharply and washed the reef, and there was a huge roar of water, and the water flow went down with the fault of the mountain cliff and disappeared into the mist of this waterfall.
Loki paid close attention to the slippery underfoot, walked to the shore on the side of the waterfall, and looked down, it was more than fifty meters high, and there should be a deep pool below, but the large area of water mist hit made his visual image optimization not very clear.
There is nothing but the mist of the waterfall and the tall and dense trees.
Loki couldn't decide whether to find a place to go down and continue walking along the river, after all, following the river would make him much less dangerous in the forest.
Naturally, he didn't have a rope with him, so he could only walk along the side of the high and low cliff, looking for a safe path down.
After all, this is a forest with rich soil and lush vegetation, surrounded by towering trees, and there will be no large-scale cliffs, so Loki found a path down after a little analysis.
But as he walked through the dense forest, Loki saw the blood-sucking three-ring leech, and he had to watch out for the danger of the blood-sucking worm while also eliminating the difficulties of the dense forest terrain.
With such a twist and turn of about a kilometer, Loki walked for half an afternoon.
