Chapter 978: Half-Peak Mountain Gap
Song Siyuan nodded: "Yue Guanchao is right, but I don't understand a little, how can a large number of fireflies gather here, is it just to feed on the mayflies on the lake aquatic plants, could it be another secret?" ”
With the premise of the human face bug, she doesn't believe that these fireflies will hover at the bottom of the lake for no reason, even if they are foraging, it is too strange, the forest is so large, they don't need to only wander in the lake area, that is, behind the fireflies foraging, there must be other strange places.
"Whatever it is, let's go to the lake area first, whether it's grass or meat, and we have to find out if these fluorescent fireflies are the ones first."
Yue Guanchao was about to leave, and Song Siyuan hurriedly held him down: "Don't be in a hurry to do it first, let's continue to see, a good meal is not afraid of being late, I always feel that these flying insects are a little too obedient, just like ...... It's like. ”
"Bees raised by beekeepers!" Xu Xiake sensed what she meant, shook his eyebrows and said.
"Yes, beekeepers."
Song Siyuan cast an approving gaze and continued: "Bees are such things, no matter how far their range of activity is, they will bring the collected honey back to the hive, and the flying insects in front of us flew out from the bottom of the cave, and it is likely that they were deliberately raised. ”
With Song Siyuan's proposal, Yue Guanchao quieted down and continued to lie dormant in the bamboo forest, waiting for about an hour, Ban Wan's eyes suddenly became vigilant, she lowered her voice and looked at the people around her: "Be careful, I feel that someone is coming this way." ”
"Indeed a person?"
Yue Guanchao became curious, the elusive environment of Shennongjia, it is impossible for ordinary people to touch the accurate route, and the people who can appear here, think about it, and it will be clear what it is.
"It's a ghost?" Song Siyuan's eyes lit up.
Ban Wan nodded: "Well, I feel exactly the same smell as Ah Xi, if my perception is correct, the person who came is a ghost person." ”
As they spoke, the mysterious man was already close to the lake, and they could see a figure dressed in white halfway up the mountain under the moonlight.
Standing on the cliff on the mountainside, the man blew an unknown musical instrument towards these fluorescent instruments, and the fireflies that were originally hovering randomly began to approach the mysterious man's hand, and then quickly dispersed towards the outside world, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The flying insects dispersed, the surrounding environment dimmed, and the mysterious man also hid into the forest from the mountainside and disappeared, and when the mysterious man left, everyone dared to gasp for breath, and at the same time, they were also curious about the mysterious man's behavior.
Song Siyuan looked at the situation in front of him, that mysterious ghost Fang person was probably raising these flying insects, and even could directly summon these flying insects: "Class senior, what was that person doing just now?" ”
Ban Wan nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Induction, he induced the flying insects, just like these albino animals, in order to let them find something, but I haven't come into contact with insects, I don't know what this ghost Fang people let these insects do." ”
"Then let's catch up!"
The Ghost Fang Sect couldn't wait, and when they saw the living Ghost Fang people, they could understand the doubts they had all along, and even found the twelve ghost bones.
Ban Wan shook her head, grateful to stop the Ghost Fang Sect from doing this: "No, the Ghost Fang people's ability to sense the outside world is only stronger than me, not weaker than me, if we follow behind, we will soon be discovered by them, Fang Cai, it is also because we are too far away from this ghost Fang person, he can't sense us, and it is too dangerous to get close to follow us." ”
After that, she paused: "Judging from the Beifu soldiers, these ghost people are very xenophobic, and we don't know how they will react when they see us." ”
"So, just give up this great opportunity?"
The Ghost Fang Sect understood that when they arrived at the Tide Land, they were destined to find and enter the Ghost Fang World here, and now that there were Ghost Fang people appearing, they could completely follow the traces to find the entrance.
"It's not impossible."
Ban Wan looked at everyone: "The ghost people can find more information, which also means that they are also sending more news, as long as the ghost people appear, there will be news left for decades, which you have also seen in Ah Xi, she is already dead, and she is still exuding the breath of belonging to the ghost Fang clan." ”
"No matter who this mysterious person is, the breath he has left will still exist even if he leaves, you just need to wait for the next day to follow the breath, and you can find it all the way."
Seeing that Ban Wan had played this package ticket, Ghost Fangzong was temporarily relieved, and he was no longer in a hurry to chase after him.
Song Siyuan nodded and said: "I have already drawn a simple map of the mountainside where this mysterious person appeared just now, and our vision is limited at night, and we can't use all our strength, and then we will find a specific location during the day, which is much better than us having an accident in the dark." ”
"Okay, then do it."
The Ghost Fang Sect also understood that it was already late at night at this moment, and the bottom of the valley was even more silent and dark after the flying insects left, it was indeed inconvenient for them to act, and Song Siyuan's proposal was the safest.
After a night in the bamboo forest, when the azure turned white, the flying insects circled the valley again, and finally disappeared into the cave at the bottom of the lake, until the lake returned to water, and then they emerged from the bamboo forest.
After a short rest, replenishing food and drink, the sun has climbed the clouds, and the surroundings have begun to light up, Yue Guanchao picked up the sketch of the canyon drawn by Song Siyuan, and compared it with the location she marked, it can be seen at a glance that the position where the mysterious person stood last night was located halfway up the mountain north of the canyon.
As mentioned earlier, the valley is a hollow, the surrounding peaks are of different heights, and the mountain walls are quite steep, which is basically equivalent to going straight up and down, until the mountainside position is hundreds of meters high, it begins to become gently sloping, and there are many slopes, cliffs, and rifts of different heights.
The mysterious man stood on the slope of the cliff in it.
"Such a mountain wall doesn't look like a natural formation."
When Song Siyuan first came to this valley, she had already discovered this, and the mountain wall here was deliberately flattened by the bombing of the mountain in order to form a substructure that was almost straight up and straight down.
Xu Xiake said: "Well, I also feel that this place is too regular, as if using this valley to make a huge pool, using the pool to raise these flying insects, judging from the situation last night, this is the realm created by the ghost party, it is very likely to be used to confuse outsiders, or have other purposes." ”
"Hey, just knowing the location, we can't go up."
Yue Guanchao observed the mountain, at least 100 meters below, the mountain and the ground are almost perpendicular, and the shrubs covering it have smoothed the boundary between the valleys, forming a green screen gable, plus the bottom of the giant lake, it looks like a huge basin of water.
Such a mountain wall, with no carriage path or slope to climb, is difficult to climb.
Sun Tianqi interjected: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's see how the stone of the mountain is, if it is hard enough, you can use the climbing claw to bring the rope up first, and then we climb up along the rope." ”
After that, Yue Guanchao and the others had already begun to act, setting up a carriage to the lake in the north, and at the same time, they also cut down all the shrubs on the mountain wall, revealing the soil inside.
With a click, the sapper shovel knocked on the mountain wall, except for a chisel mark, there was no gravel slag, they tried other places, and made sure that the mountain stone was still strong before returning to its original state, and informed Sun Tianqi of the specific situation.
Seeing this, Sun Tianqi took out the mountain climbing god ape claw hidden in his backpack, Ghost Fangzong's face was very subtle when he saw this thing, since it had been stolen by Sun Tianqi for so many years, he had no intention of coming back.
He opened the ape claw, closed his claws and clasped his waist and arms, looked at everyone and said: "This climbing ape claw can grasp the rock wall and shrubs, as long as the mountain rock is firm, then it can climb up, when the time comes, I will take two climbing ropes and landing nails to go up, install the landing nails along the way, and when I go up, I will put down the climbing rope." ”
Yue Guanchao looked at the distance between the ground and the cliff, and said, "Do you need it, we will put straw or something on you at the bottom of the mountain, so that it can be protected." ”
Sun Tianqi shook his head: "No, the claws of the divine ape generally don't make mistakes, if they make a mistake, they don't need to be saved, and if they fall from such a high place, they won't be able to." ”
"Stay safe."
Sun Tianqi said goodbye to everyone, picked up the climbing rope and landing nail prepared for him, and with the shaking of his five fingers, he had already seen the claws of the ape open and close as if they were alive, grabbing the shrubs on the mountain wall.
The process of climbing is really difficult, these mountain walls are all covered with shrubs, and it is very difficult to grasp the stone walls, so you can only hold on to the shrubs attached to the stone walls to fix your body, and if the roots of the shrubs are loose, you must break away from the stone walls.
No matter how careful Sun Tianqi was, it was inevitable that there would be negligence, and he directly pulled up the shrubs several times, but fortunately, the other claws were all firmly grasped, so he did not fall from the rock formation.
Although the climbing process was hard, after several twists and turns, he still climbed to the cliff, and when he stood on the cliff and waved to everyone, everyone took a long breath.
"Hehe, after several twists and turns along the way, in the end, it turned evil into good fortune."
In Sun Daqiao's laughter, two ropes were thrown from the cliff, among them, the long rope fell to the ground, and the slightly shorter rope was two or three meters away from the ground, and there was a safety buckle hanging on it.
"I'll go up and have a look!"
Yue Guanchao put on his backpack, grabbed the ground rope and climbed into the air, knotted and fastened the slightly shorter rope around his waist, began to grab the rope, and climbed upward with the landing pegs, and came to the cliff.
With his demonstration, everyone under the cliff carried their own things, hid the carriage in the bamboo forest, and climbed the mountain wall to the cliff in turn.
Yue Guanchao looked carefully, the cliff where they are located is indeed steep, located at the junction of the two mountains, the mountains are staggered because of the extrusion, which also makes this place a cliff, behind this cliff, it is a huge crack produced by the extrusion of the two mountains, like a shell that opens and closes left and right, and goes deep into the mountain range to become a fracture canyon.
The deeper you go, the narrower and steeper it is, and only narrow mountain paths appear at the breaks.
