Chapter 80: Strange Mountains

Everyone was busy for most of the day, and the time was already in the afternoon. The cut fur was propped up around the campfire, some of the roasted meat was eaten, and the rest was wrapped in washed leaves and neatly laid aside.

The thick branches taken from the trees were cut into sticks, and the feathers on the pheasants were fastened to one end of the sticks with rabbit tendons, and there were no tools to make arrows, so the other end of the sticks could only be sharpened, although it was not lethal enough.

The vines have been intricately soaked and baked, and the softness has become comparable to that of ordinary ropes, and they are soaked in lamp oil to improve their toughness. The remaining fresh vines are used to make torches, and thick branches and some thin branches that cannot be used to make arrows are removed from the trees, and these thin branches are fixed by the vines at one end of the thick branches, filled with strips of cloth and animal fat, and finally tied with vines to make a little rougher, but this is extremely rare in the wild.

Bell planned to make more bows out of wood and deer tendons, but the tree that was carried back was not resilient and had to be broken to use for fuel. Looking at the day's harvest, he nodded with satisfaction, as long as he went to hunt some large animals tomorrow, there would be enough water bladders to hold water.

In this way, the day passed quickly, and after arranging the order of the night guards, they began to rest. After the first night, the mountains were no longer so terrifying. Occasionally, I could hear a few howls of wild beasts, and I didn't feel so infiltrating.

The next morning, Bell and Annesha had made up for sleep, Daciano remained by the stream to guard the camp, Bell and Annesha went hunting again, and Susar headed north with the four of them, making sure to explore the terrain as much as possible before embarking on the journey.

Thus he lived in the camp by the stream for four days, and Daciano made some rucksacks and water bladders out of the tendons and fur of his prey, and wrapped all the roasted jerky in leaves, enough food for the group to eat for ten days.

"Whew! I think everything is almost ready, we can finally try to get out of this mountain range!" Bell crossed his waist and looked at the abundant supplies in front of him.

"Yes! We've seen pretty much the environment to the north these days, and through the woodland over there, there's a valley through which we can ride mule carts. But after passing through the valley there is a high mountain, and we simply walked from both sides and found that there was no path up the mountain. So once there, we had to climb the mountain. Susal pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance.

After a brief packing of things, everyone finally embarked on the trip. There were not many wild animals in the mountains during the day, and three mule carts traveled through the forest, and they soon reached the foot of the high mountain according to the route that Susal had returned.

"This is the only gentle slope in the vicinity that is suitable for walking, and we need to start hiking here!" said Susar, turning and getting out of the car.

"What about these mules?" asked a big man casually.

"Untie it and take it down, we can still get up without mules in the car, and they can help us load more things. Daciano sat in the car.

Bell also agreed with Daciano that unless there were steep cliffs, a mule could handle the average mountain road. They put everything they could put on the mule's back, such as torches, lamp oil, and ropes.

Since the hike up the mountain, there has been no turning back for Bell and the others, and the real danger has only just begun. Whether it's the soft surface or the hidden potholes under the vegetation, walking in the mountains is unavoidable.

Poisonous insects and beasts are not uncommon along the way, Bell has always walked in front of the choice of the direction of travel, and he does not know much about the terrain of the mountains, at least he plays a major role in avoiding the territory of real beasts.

"These mountains and forests that have not been touched by humans for hundreds of years are really terrifying. Why is there a territory of the Beastmaster everywhere? We must be more careful, if we provoke those who are not easy to provoke, the problem will not be solved. Bell looked around with a solemn expression, he had never even heard of such a dense territory of the Beastmaster.

"Hundreds of years?!I'm afraid this mountain range hasn't been set foot by humans for thousands of years!" Daciano waved his hand.

"Thousands of years, wouldn't it......" Bell didn't quite believe.

Ann Elsa has felt a little strange since she went up the mountain, but she can't tell what is awkward, "I also think that no one has been here for thousands of years." ”

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's a hundred years or a thousand years, in short, you must follow my line, and don't do anything at will. Bale looked nervous.

Seeing that Bell was so serious, everyone didn't dare to be careless at all, and followed Bell forward. All the way uphill, the physical exertion was very huge, but Bell did not stop, and no one dared to shout to rest. The names of the various beast kings are quite loud, and the terrible thing about them is not their own powerful lethality.

Rather, they will call on their own people to attack you, and the most annoying thing is that the Beastmasters are so intelligent that sometimes you have to treat them like human beings. Because that's the only way to avoid making low-level mistakes.

As he marched upward, Bell's cold sweat became more and more, and there were too many Beastmaster territories here, and some of them even overlapped together. At first, it can easily go around, but later it can only pass between two small trees, and it cannot damage any branches on the tree.

After passing through the densest area of the Beastmaster's territory and going up, the situation around him improved: "The higher you go, the less territory the Beastmaster will have, and they will not be too far away from food and water sources. ”

The sky gradually darkened, and a large piece of rocky ground appeared in Bell's sight, and he stood still and looked closely, confirming that it was very safe, and everyone's hanging hearts finally fell to the ground. Fighting his last strength to reach the rocky ground, Daciano sat on the ground, "I'd rather walk in a secret passage for ten days than walk in a place like this for half a day." ”

"Whew...... Call...... Call...... We don't know how far we have to go, and you should be glad we came up with the mules. If it was crawling, it would have been exhausted a long time ago. Susar almost collapsed on the rock.

Bell is also tired enough, if it is a normal mountain road that is not so hard, it is really too much Beastmaster territory just now. But Anesa looked back at the mountains and forests behind her, and the uncomfortable feeling seemed to disappear again, scratched her head and muttered something strange, and then sat down and began to rest.

"Looks like we're going to spend the night here today. "Bell didn't dare to move on, although this place was very close to the territory of the Beastmaster below, but I didn't know what would be up there.

His biggest fear now was that there would be some terrible creatures on top of this mountain. Because he didn't find the Eagle King's territory when he walked here, this made him very uneasy.
