He was never lonely along the way, Fan Ming could always find a topic to ask questions about.

"Uncle Qian, why is Heizi blind in one eye?" Fan Ming asked curiously when he saw Heizi's blind eye.

Old Man Qian was very fond of this girl who was as lively and outgoing as his granddaughter. He replied with a smile: "Heizi's eye was blinded a few years ago when he went into the mountains and had a fight with a hyena."

"Are there really wolves in the mountains?" Fan Ming was inexplicably surprised. It seemed that it was a surprise to have wolves in the mountains. In her impression, wolves only appeared in zoos. "Didn't the book say that due to large numbers of people hunting in the mountains?

Are there no more wolves?”

"How come there aren't? They're just hiding in the mountains and can't be seen by ordinary people. In recent years, due to people's deliberate protection, the number has increased again, and they occasionally appear on the edge of the mountains." Old Man Qian said nonchalantly.

Speaking of.

"Who won in the end, Heizi or the wolf?"

"Both sides suffer. The coyote's neck was also stabbed by Heizi, and he was killed by me in the end." Old Man Qian said with a smile.

"Wolves are also protected animals, right? If you kill...it won't be illegal, right?"

Old Man Qian explained without hesitation: "Protection is good, but that has to be the case if it doesn't hurt people, otherwise it's nothing to protect. If you kill it, you'll kill it. No one will gossip about it."

Just talking and laughing like this, a group of people meandered along the stream inward under the leadership of Old Man Qian, because this time there was a person who had discovered the source of the river. The other people did not object, and they had no special purpose for going into the mountain anyway.

Just experiencing this kind of mountain climbing and adventure is the same wherever you go.

Wang Gui was still hanging thirty meters behind the team, neither far nor near.

There were more people and I walked slower. It was already noon when I crossed Luotuo Ridge. Many of Fan Ming's things had already gone to Zhang Taiping. Although he often climbed mountains, they were scenic mountains after all, so there was no need to carry them on his back.

So many things. Carrying so many things and running such a long distance is pretty good now.

Hanging tents and other fabrics on the bodies of several big dogs reduced a lot of burden. Since it was almost the first time for everyone to go into the depths of this inaccessible mountain, they were a little over-prepared and carried too much weight on their backs.

Duo was exhausted after driving for a long time. Zhang Taiping took the initiative to share a large part of the weight. Anyway, he was very strong. Even if he carried something weighing dozens of kilograms, he could walk as fast as flying on the mountain road as if it were nothing.

What really puts several grown men to shame is that they were outcompeted by a woman. Xing Rushui, carrying the same items on his back, could still remain calm and breathless, as if he were an immortal, and his devilish figure was rippling with gentle jumps.

, the tight-fitting camouflage could not cover the turbulent waves on her chest. Several grown men admired her physique and were fascinated by her sassy demeanor.

However, Wang Gui and Zhang Taiping had different views. For a woman to be so physically strong, she must have undergone rigorous training, and her skills would not be any worse.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but think that there is a great god who can conquer such a queen who looks like a monster, is as smart as a monster, and must have good skills. A queen with extremely high appearance, intelligence, and martial arts is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

I believe this is the voice of all men here.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving here, he was chased by a parrot. The guy made a noise above everyone's heads and then stopped leaving. He followed Zhang Taiping shamelessly. Seeing that it had no impact, Zhang Taiping did not insist on driving it away. He just watched him along the way.

The parroting, which was noisy at first, became everyone's pleasure, especially Fan Ming's pleasure.

I sat down to rest at the foot of the mountain south of Luotuo Ridge. I had to rush on my way, so I didn’t hunt for prey. I just ate some dry food or snacks that I brought with me. In fact, there was no need to worry about having an old hunter as a companion in the mountains.

If you don’t worry about food, the resources of the mountains can be used by them. So everyone does not waste food and water in order to reduce the burden.

After eating and drinking, Old Man Qian took care of the traces left behind for a while, then found a spring for everyone to fill their water bottles before setting off. The parrot consciously acted as a pathfinder, flying to the front and spinning around in the sky. If there was no danger, this house

The words flew back again, and so on.

After that, the forward speed slowed down a lot. When we entered the south of Luotuo Ridge, we entered the deep mountains in the concept of mountain people. There were more wild animals, ferocious beasts appeared frequently, and there were countless venomous snakes and venomous insects. In addition,

The roads are inaccessible and disappearing, making it even more difficult to move forward.

The six people put on the protective gear they had prepared, but the remaining four fierce mountain people did not have any added protective tools at all, and were still swimming through the thorns like fish. The other three did not have this concept, and they

Growing up in the mountains, climbing mountains and walking through the forest have become instinctive. He does not need any extra accessories to protect himself well. However, Zhang Taiping understands the principle and function of armor, but there is no condition to obtain it, but it doesn't matter whether he wants it or not.

.

Before leaving again, Old Man Qian sprinkled realgar on everyone's trouser legs. Next, they will enter the deep mountains and old forests. There will be more poisonous snakes, insects and ants. If you are not careful, you may be bitten again and be poisoned. Sprinkling realgar will be enough.

To reduce the occurrence of such accidents, at least these poisonous things will not come forward on their own initiative. Of course, it is a different matter if you step on someone and suffer backlash.

Unexpectedly, in the team, not only the old man Qian, who has been traveling through the mountains and forests for decades, is a veteran in dealing with traces and mystery formations, but Wang Gui is also a veteran. Looking at his skillful movements and figure, Zhang Taiping couldn't help but feel guilty about his previous experience.

curious.

Fan Ming was confused about Wang Gui's busy figure, so he asked old man Qian: "Uncle Qian, what is he doing?"

Her words also revealed the thoughts of several other people. Zhang Taiping could vaguely understand the purpose of Wang Gui's actions. I believe Xing Rushui could also understand them, and the practice was not shallow, because Zhang Taiping had been walking along the way.

I noticed something. Although ten people passed by, only seven traces could be found. Needless to say, Old Man Qian and Wang Gui, even the evil demon walking like water unknowingly erased their own traces, perhaps deliberately.

, maybe it’s instinct, but it’s extraordinary anyway.

"Let's deal with some of the traces and smells we left behind. We humans are wandering through the forest, and the smell on our bodies is like a beacon in the dark, attracting some kind of animal to follow us." Old Man Qian returned while smoking native smoke.

.

"Following, you can't?..." Fan Ming wanted to say something else, but his gentle hand patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be impatient!"

Old Man Qian shook his head and said: "You have never lived in the mountains. You don't know how sensitive the sense of smell of animals is. They may smell human scent from miles away. They follow you, waiting for the opportunity to move. If you don't know, you will not be prepared."

It is easy to suffer a loss in such a situation. Other animals are fine, but it would be even worse if a wolf comes, often in a group. However, dealing with the smell or setting up small traps can prevent them from being raided and reduce unnecessary trouble.

"

"Oh." Fan Ming stuck out his tongue, "It would be really dangerous for a person to walk in the mountains."

"So from now on it's best not to leave too far away from the big team, and stay within the range where others can rescue you." Old Man Qian warned with a serious face for the first time.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dogs barked towards a place, and then a wild boar rushed out from the grass. The wild boar did not mean to hurt anyone, but was very timid and ran away when it saw people. Heizi No.

One of them was about to charge forward, and several other big dogs followed closely behind. Several of them also raised their repeating crossbows, preparing to fire.

Old Man Qian stopped the actions of several people who were about to launch. He shouted loudly, "Heizi is back!" Heizi immediately turned around and ran back without any hesitation. Although the other people did not know the reason, they also called back their dogs.

Wang Peng didn't care about this, he was a little annoyed and said: "Old Qian, what are you doing? Such a good opportunity is wasted? Hundreds of kilograms of meat..."

"You know nothing." Old Man Qian was not as polite and patient to Wang Peng as he was to Fan Ming. He swore, "You only know meat, what else do you know? Look at your potential!"

Yang Wanli came out to smooth things over: "Brother, don't worry, Uncle Qian always has a reason for doing this. You might as well listen first."

Old Man Qian glanced at Wang Peng and said: "This wild boar is obviously a female, and it is also pregnant with piglets. It is best not to kill such a female animal with cubs. To accumulate virtue, just kill it.

It's a bit sinful. Besides, it's still early in the morning and it's not time to set up a tent and rest. Is it difficult for you to carry it forward after killing it?"

Wang Peng was speechless when asked, and kept muttering: "But it's a pity to let him run away like this."

After everyone understood the reason, they didn't care about it anymore. It was important to continue on their way. We still didn't know where the source of the stream was, so we couldn't waste too much time ahead.

A group of people continued to move forward through thorns and thorns.

The Qinling Mountains isolate Shaanxi and Sichuan. As can be seen from the song "The Road to Shu is Difficult", it is a rocky mountain range. Most of the peaks on the edge of the Qinling Mountains do not grow trees, and some were sown by airplane only a few years ago.

Small saplings that are not old enough.

But it's a different scene in the uninhabited mountains. Untravelled primitive mountain forests abound, especially the lush pine forests with coniferous leaves and the cypress forests with huge straight tree canopies.

In some areas, no one has even set foot before. The ground is covered with a thick layer of pine needles and rotten leaves, which is soft and silent when stepped on.

Since there are no signs of human activity among the trees, there is no road that Lu Xun said was trodden by people. A group of people can only move forward one after another in a single file. This time, Wang Gui is in front of him to open the road, and Old Man Qian is in front.

Behind the scenes.
