Chapter 267: A Little Squirrel

A wooded and overgrown jungle was a bit hot and humid, and it was almost spring and summer, and the sky had just fallen into a strong, brief rainstorm, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed on the verdant leaves, cleaning the surface of the dust and causing it to shake up and down.

At this time, even though the rainstorm has ended, the leaves that have long accumulated and are still dripping down the rain. The water dripping from the higher places fell on the lower leaves, rolling back and forth for a while, and then quietly continued to drip lower at some point, tossing and turning, and finally flowing down the tips of the lowest leaves to the moist land, completely disappearing.

The air in the mountains and forests was very humid, which made the people in it feel very stuffy, and their chests were pressed as if it was difficult to breathe. Leqi stood on a small dirt slope next to a tall pine tree with a trunk diameter of more than a foot, his right palm propped up on the cracked rough bark, and his left hand propped up his thigh, bending over and panting, pausing and resting.

Some tired eyes still carefully scanned the surroundings with their heads turning from side to side, but they didn't notice any movement, thinking that there should be no danger around. Slowly lowered his head, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and didn't care if it was clean or not, he wiped it off the clothes that were basically soaked on his body. Immediately, he grabbed the collar on his chest and fanned it hard, so as to exchange the heat in his body and cool himself down properly.

Then, he simply sat on the wet loess with his back against the thick trunk of the tree, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, but felt that some of the soft soil was very comfortable to sit on. As soon as the void ring on the ring lit up, Le Qi quickly took out a pot of water from it, roughly removed the well-sealed soft stopper, and drank a small half pot with the kettle in front of his mouth.

The cool entrance dispels a lot of heat, and Le Qi suddenly feels very comfortable. I scolded in my heart what the hell this place is, it's stuffy and hot.

After complaining a few words, he took out a more detailed map of the southern part of the Heilin Empire, the map is not small, and it is more than a meter long and wide when fully unfolded, but at this time, it was folded by Le Qi to less than a foot long and wide, but now it is enough.

After a closer look, I found that I had walked all the way in the direction of due south for five or six days, and now I had walked about seven or eight hundred miles. Although on the map, I am afraid that I am still in the mountain belt to which Linlang Mountain belongs, but in this kind of remote area, it must be impossible for any idle Linlang Sect disciple to trek here. Moreover, Le Qi looked down at his current sloppy appearance, his body was either all kinds of dirt or plant juice stuck to nowhere, dyed messily, and his short hair was also extremely stiff horizontally and vertically, I am afraid that he has really seen his Linlang Sect disciples come here, and he can't recognize who he is!

Thinking back to his journey in the past few days, Le Qi also felt very difficult, worried that the disciples of the Linlang Sect would find out his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to take the road he had cultivated, so he could only go all the way to the south in the barren mountains and forests, even if he had to pass by the road, he was cautious to find a remote corner, observe for a while, and felt that there was no one nearby, so he quickly crossed over, and then drilled into the jungle.

In these five or six days,

During the day, when there is enough light, he will rush frantically through the mountains and mountains, and at night, when it is dark, he can find a relatively open flat land and set up a tent for the night. However, since he felt as if a living creature had passed by not far away in the middle of the night and made a lot of noise, he didn't dare to sleep at night, just squinted his eyes and rested. As soon as the sky was bright, I quickly got up, put away my things three times and two times, and continued to hurry. Even last night, I spent the night on a tree with caution. So today's mental state is really not very good, so if you don't go out for dozens of miles, it is difficult to support it, so you have to stop and rest for a while.

Originally, in the first two days, for safety reasons, Le Qi did not take off the mysterious wooden armor obtained from the Ten Thousand Thunder Valley, after all, the latter's defense ability is indeed very good, and walking in the unpredictable and dangerous mountains and forests can greatly improve the safety factor. It's just that the weight of these two hundred catties is not heavy, but it is really not light! As the saying goes, thousands of miles are heavy, and there is no problem with taking an hour or two, but if you really have to walk on it for a day or two, you really can't bear it. So in the end, I couldn't care too much, so I just took it off and put it into the Void Ring.

However, he put on the green silk soft armor, and at the same time, the defensive formation was also retained with five layers, after all, no matter what the situation, his security problem could not be sloppy.

After a few days of living in the jungle, Dele Qi made up his mind that he would never live this ghost life of Nima again! Although he fled for his life and went out to explore the world, and did not think of living a comfortable and beautiful life, there was no need for him to come out and be a wild man! After all, he is also a human being standing at the top of the world's civilization, and even in such primitive and backward barren mountains and mountains, he must know how to pursue a higher quality of life under the current conditions! He must not disgrace mankind, which symbolizes civilization! (Actually, I felt that I couldn't bear the ghost days in the jungle, and I wanted to find a better place to station, but I couldn't let myself show a feeling of coveting comfort and comfort, so I forcibly found some excuses...... )

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a slight pain on the top of my head, and then, it seemed that something bounced down, rolled on the ground twice, and completely stopped moving. Startled, Le Qi leaned over and picked up the grass nearby with his hand, only to see a fruit in the shape of a pine cone lying quietly on the ground.

Immediately, Le Qi looked up and looked up, but saw a small yellow-brown animal in the shape of a squirrel on the pine tree overhead, quickly crawling down the trunk with his hands and feet, but as if he was keenly aware of his gaze, he immediately dodged behind the trunk, and occasionally poked out a small hairy head to look down, bumped into his gaze from time to time, and shrank back very spiritually.

It's just that the squirrel seems to care about the fruit very much, even if he sees himself sitting near it, he is still reluctant to leave. Gradually, it saw that it did not move, but slowly climbed down step by step, during which it stopped and stopped, stopping and observing itself from time to time, and saw that it still did not move, and then continued to move forward.

For a moment, it seemed that the squirrel seemed to be very clever, and of course, a greedy little fellow! He carefully controlled himself, trying not to scare it.

Soon, the little one reached the ground with light movements

He walked towards the fruit, holding it in his hands, and did not forget to stand up curiously and look up at himself, a pair of small eyes blinking smartly.

At this time, Le Qi saw that this little animal seemed to be somewhat similar to an ordinary squirrel, but there were some differences. I saw that its hair was very smooth, its small, pointed hairy ears were like squirrels, and the two sides of its head were standing outward, and the big tail, which was almost the size of a body, was standing and shaking slightly. However, its body is somewhat round, completely untouched by the slender body of a squirrel, and its back extends from its ears to its tail, with two narrow dark blue hairs. Looks, a bit like a little squirrel that eats too much and gets fat.

Le Qi stretched out his hand to touch this cute little guy, but unexpectedly, it seemed to take two steps back, then put the fruit in its mouth, lay down again, turned around and left slowly.

Smiled and shook his head, this little guy really doesn't have any sense of crisis, he has been in this primeval mountain forest for too long and has never seen a human being, right?

Ignoring this little episode, Le Qi also rested enough, leaned forward, stood up with his legs hard, symbolically patted the dirt on his body, and looked at this damp jungle where spiders, poisonous snakes and even monsters could appear at any time, he still decided to find a more suitable area to live in, such as a cave or something.

As for why he didn't choose to go out to a human town with better living conditions, Le Qi naturally considered this, but he felt that it was better to stay in the mountains and forests for the time being, one was that his strength was weaker now, and he was facing a huge breakthrough obstacle, he needed a quiet area to think about the problem until he broke through the soul lock realm.

Second, compared to the savage monsters in the mountains and forests, human beings themselves are actually more dangerous, in the complex rivers and lakes, you don't even know when there is a smiling deadly snake lurking around you, and if you don't pay attention, you will be bitten to death by them. At this point, the demon beast doesn't understand, as soon as they meet, they either fight or flee, at most they lurk in the shadows to launch a sneak attack.

When a person is on the alert at all times, it is actually very safe because it prepares them in advance. And the real danger is when a person thinks he is very safe and relaxes his vigilance, at that time, there is no need to attack with any power, just a knife from the back, a surprise stab, and it will be completely finished.

After some effort and time to climb to a commanding height, Le Qi looked down, searching for a suitable environment for wild habitation. It wasn't sharp-eyed, but it was obvious that at a glance, I noticed a steep rock wall like a sword in the distance in front of the left.

According to preliminary estimates, the steep stone wall is nearly 100 zhang high, and there is almost no green on the gray brown stone wall. From a distance, it looks like a part of the mountain has been cut off by life.

Leqi nodded, feeling that it should be a good camping spot. The reason is also simple, there can at least be the back to the wall, reducing the uncertainty of one direction. Secondly, you may be able to find a concave pit at the bottom of the stone wall, and it will be a good place to live in the wilderness if you arrange it at will.
