Long Teng didn't understand the driver's exclamation at all, and showed a bright smile: "We are from Star City."
Bai Jiao chuckled lightly, the driver rolled his eyes with a look of 'you're kidding me'.
Xie Sen ignored them, he summoned the watermelon vine, let the watermelon vine tie him up, and then slowly moved towards the door.
Even with the protection of the watermelon vine, he still couldn't help being nervous.
For the first time, he felt that he might be afraid of heights.
Long Teng reached out and grabbed his arm: "Don't be afraid, I'll go down right away."
Xie Sen smiled at him, took a deep breath, stepped back and leaned his body out first, stepped on the traction ladder with his feet, and slowly moved his hands to the sides of the ladder. After making sure he was standing firmly, he said to Long Teng: "It's fine."
Long Teng let go, and Xie Sen looked down at the ladder and slowly moved down. The traction ladder shook because of his movements, and he couldn't help shaking. He glanced down, and then quickly looked away.
too frightening!
Going on like this is simply too tortured! He instructed in his mind: "Carry me and move down slowly next to the ladder."
The watermelon vine pulled him a step away from the ladder, he felt the pulling force, let go of his hand, his hands and feet left the ladder almost at the same time, was lifted by the vines, and the whole person floated into the air.
The watermelon vine followed his instructions and slowly moved down the ladder.
He kept his eyes on the traction ladder in front of him, and he could quickly grab the traction ladder in case of accidents.
After he got used to the speed, he let the watermelon vine speed up again, and soon fell to the ground.
As soon as he landed, he was embraced by Maine from behind. He held Maine's hand and heaved a sigh of relief. It was really uncomfortable being lifted by the vines.
This is not bad for him, moving down at a speed lower than that of a free fall, like a person hanging from a tree being slowly lowered down.
Before Maine was instantly dragged down by the vines, it was definitely more uncomfortable being pulled by the vines.
He glanced at Maine worriedly, let the watermelon vine untie from him, and reached out to pull the zipper on Maine's shirt: "Did you get hurt just now? Let me see."
Maine grabbed his wrist: "I'm fine, let them come down first."
Xie Sen glanced at him, and ordered the watermelon vine to bind Bai Jiao.
The next moment, his communicator rang, and Bai Jiao said: "I want to go down in the same way as you. Climbing down is too exhausting. The situation in the forest is still uncertain, so save your energy first."
Xie Sen thought it made sense, agreed, and reminded: "Okay, I'll adjust the speed slowly, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
During Bai Jiao's landing, the two kept in touch. Xie Sen directed the vines to change their speed, and Bai Jiao landed on the ground smoothly.
When the dragon soared down, he still used the vines as usual. He kept asking to speed up along the way, but Xie Sen simply let him fall freely to prevent strain, and only let the vines lift him to slow down when he was about to land.
After Long Teng landed, he jumped in front of Xie Sen with an excited face: "It's fun!"
Xie Sen asked, "Did you get strangled?" He still couldn't help but look at Maine worriedly, "Especially you, the speed was too fast at that time."
Maine shook his head: "I'm fine." Bai Jiao and Long Teng also said they were fine.
Maine opened the wristband, pointed to the map and said, "This is the highest place nearby, and there is only a weak signal, and the rest of the place probably has no signal at all." He paid the final payment to the driver, and marked the location of the place at the same time.
He looked at his teammates seriously: "Let's go together, we must not get separated."
Xie Sen and the others nodded seriously.
Maine asked Xie Sen: "Which side?"
Xie Sen called Adan, Adan felt it for a moment, and excitedly said: "It's not far from our place, it's in the northeast direction."
Xie Sen said: "Northeast."
Maine called up the map, swipe along the northeast edge on the map, and looked towards the cliff in the northeast: "Could it be under the cliff?"
A Dan said in Xie Sen's mind: "Within ten kilometers."
Xie Sen conveyed his words, and Main thought for a moment: "See if we can go down from the cliff."
A few people walked to the cliff, the cliff was almost vertical down, and there were many raised stones on the surface, it was impossible to go down.
On the opposite side of the cliff is the other half of the mountain, like a complete mountain suddenly split from the middle, forming a canyon in the middle.
White mist floated over the canyon, and the situation below could not be seen clearly, only the chilling bird calls and ferocious roars of wild beasts could be heard.
Bai Jiao said: "There seems to be a fight down there."
Maine nodded and looked around: "It's too quiet up there, we've landed so far, and we haven't encountered any large beasts except blackbirds."
"It must be all below!" Long Teng said excitedly.
Xie Sen couldn't help worrying: "Beasts have their own chassis, and it's not right to get together."
Maine said: "Maybe it has something to do with the mutation," he said, and opened the wristband, "The map detected by the detector shows that the terrain on both sides of our east and west is gradually decreasing. Let's go east first, and go north at the low-lying position. .”
Maine determined the route and led the way forward, Xie Sen and Bai Jiao walked in the middle, and Long Teng was at the back.
Not long after walking, Bai Jiao suddenly said happily: "Wait a minute!"
As he said, he ran to the woods on the right, squatted down, took out a shovel from his backpack and shoveled a plant, and walked back to the original place holding it with glowing eyes.
Long Teng moved his head curiously: "What is this? For food?"
Xie Sen looked at the spherical red fruit of the plant, and hesitated, "This is... Panax notoginseng?"
Bai Jiao looked at him in surprise: "I've seen the drawing of Panax notoginseng in the ancient herbal medicine, how do you know?"
Xie Sen smiled and said: "I also forgot where I saw it, but it looks familiar. I probably saw it by accident when I was watching the courseware!"
Bai Jiao thought that he was a student of the Department of Botany, and suddenly said: "That's right," he carefully put Sanqi into the backpack, "It's really amazing, I hope to meet other herbs."
Several people continued to walk forward, and Bai Jiao collected several kinds of herbs on the way, and the flowers or fruits of the herbs were all red.
Xie Sen suddenly thought of what Adan said, red energy corresponds to red plants, are these herbs related to red energy
After walking smoothly for more than an hour, Long Teng couldn't help but said, "Isn't it dangerous? Why can't I see anything except bugs?"
After he finished speaking, Main suddenly stopped, turned on the audio-visual data sent back by the detector, and turned the volume to the maximum.
The sound of heavy footsteps came from far to near. Even if you just listened to it, you could feel the trembling movement of the ground. A huge figure flashed across the screen, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Maine said: "It's a giant tiger."
Long Teng's eyes glowed: "There are really high-level contracted beasts. I don't know if there are flying dragon beasts!"
Bai Jiao frowned: "There is no other movement, not hunting or avoiding danger, this speed is very wrong."
Xie Sen stared at the screen: "It is running towards the canyon, there may be something there."
Maine nodded: "Let's continue walking."
The four of them walked for more than an hour along the edge of the cliff, but still did not reach the lowest point, but the terrain was much lower, and the cry of the beast became clearer.
They stopped for lunch.
Long Teng ran to the edge of the cliff to look down, and after a while loudly said: "I saw a big bird!"
The next moment, a big dark gray bird flew up from below, screamed, and attacked Long Teng. Long Teng quickly jumped two steps to the side to avoid it.
The big bird passed him, and because of inertia, it flew straight towards the three of Xie Sen who were cleaning up the lunch venue.
Maine's eyes were cold, and he picked up a wooden stick and threw it at it violently. The big bird screamed, flapped its wings to avoid it, and hovered in the air to stare at them.
Xie Sen was startled and looked at it warily.
Long Teng ran to them and pointed at Big Bird, "It was the one who started the attack!"
Bai Jiao frowned: "This kind of bird will not take the initiative to attack humans. Its eyes are not the right color. Normally, they should be light gray."
Xie Sen stared into the bird's eyes: "Now the gray is reddish."
Just as he was talking, the big bird suddenly swooped down towards Maine and Long Teng.
The two quickly took out their weapons from their backpacks, and at the moment it approached, they shot at the same time, attacking the wings and neck respectively. The blade drew silvery white light in the air, bringing out red blood.
"Jie!!!" The big bird screamed in pain, flapping its wings violently, forcing the two of them to retreat, took the opportunity to fly into the air, circled a few times in the sky, and flew away unwillingly.
Long Teng pointed to the sky and ran after him: "Don't run if you have the ability!"
Xie Sen gave him a funny look, and took out the watermelon: "Come and eat the watermelon."
The barbecue takes too long, so I just eat watermelon to fill my stomach and quench my thirst.
Long Teng's footsteps stopped immediately, and he ran to Xie Sen's side like a gust of wind, looking at the watermelon with glowing eyes: "Is the melon meat better than the melon skin?"
"Of course." Xie Sen said.
Long Teng swallowed: "Unbelievable." He picked up the round watermelon and opened his mouth to bite.
Maine grabbed his back collar and said coldly, "Put it down."
Xie Sen quickly took the watermelon, took out the fruit knife he had prepared, and divided the watermelon into four parts, one for each person: "There are only these, and there will be nothing left after eating."
Maine let go of Long Teng, and Long Teng quickly picked up his share, leaned closer and smelled it, his face glowing: "It smells so good!" He took a bite, his eyes widened suddenly, emitting a very bright light.
He didn't say anything, and continued to eat with big mouthfuls. His cheeks were bulging, and with his baby face, he looked like a little squirrel.
Bai Jiao ate watermelon much faster than usual, and only said at the beginning: "It's delicious."
Xie Sen looked at the energy 1 reminder twice, and the corner of his mouth turned up. It seems that watermelon is really welcome!
Maine sat down next to Xie Sen, quickly finished the watermelon, and said to Xie Sen: "You lean on me to sleep for a while, and I will call you when the meat is roasted."
Xie Sen was not hypocritical, he knew that if he didn't rest well, he would cause more trouble, so he simply rested on Maine's back.
After Long Teng finished eating the watermelon, his eyes sparkled and he was about to talk to Xie Sen, but he met Maine's warning eyes. He looked at Xie Sen who had his eyes closed, covered his mouth, and blinked.
Seeing that he was interested, Maine looked away.
Half an hour later, Maine woke Xie Sen up, and they finished the barbecue and prepared to continue on their way.
Maine squatted down in front of Xie Sen: "You sleep for another half an hour, and you still don't know when you can rest."
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment, but still held his neck, climbed onto his back to let him carry it, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, remember to call me if you need anything."
His breath hit Maine's neck, and Maine's body froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal: "Okay."
Long Teng couldn't help asking: "Is A Sen feeling unwell?"
"He needs to rest a lot," Maine said.
Suddenly, Long Teng raised a bright smile and showed his bright white teeth: "If you are tired, I can carry him, I am not tired!"
Maine said decisively, "No need."
It wasn't until an hour later that Main woke Xie Sen up. Xie Sen got off him and looked around. The terrain he was currently in was already very low: "Have you arrived yet?"
Maine looked solemn, and opened the data sent back by the detector not long ago.
Xie Sen looked over and saw that the screen was full of all kinds of birds and beasts. They were huddled together, and there were countless corpses of beasts lying on the ground, and the ground was almost covered in blood.
He was stunned. He stared at the screen for a while, and found that it didn't seem to be a melee, so he clicked on the screen: "Why do you feel like they are preventing them from entering?"
The beasts were divided into two parts, one was trying to advance, and the other was preventing them.
Bai Jiao said: "I think so too."
Maine pointed to the area where the beasts fought on the screen: "This is the entrance to the canyon. If we go in, we have to pass through here."
Xie Sen's scalp was numb: "It's too dangerous."
Even Long Teng, who was always excited when he heard fights, couldn't help saying: "We will definitely be eaten by them!"
Bai Jiao analyzed: "The distance is too far and there is no sympathetic response. I can't be sure if they are all contract beasts, but I can confirm a few of them are, and they are all above B level. The giant tiger beasts I saw before are also there. They are all Preventing another part of the beast from entering."
Maine was puzzled: "Contracted beasts and wild beasts have always gotten along harmoniously, why did they fight?"
Bai Jiao shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Long Teng stroked the back of his head: "Is there any treasure inside, they are afraid of being robbed?"
