It is not easy to sleep at the bottom of a cold and windy valley. Even if there is a tent to cover it, in the second half of the night, the wind is still getting stronger and stronger, and flying sand and rocks hit the surface of the tent, making a rattling sound.
Vaguely, some strange noises can also be heard. I don’t know if it’s the sound of wind sweeping through the canyon or the howling of demons,
Li Ang and Lu Yunan took turns keeping watch, finally surviving the 'night', and removed the tent after the strong wind ended.
Li Ang's eyes still haven't improved, and Lu Yunan's leg injury is still serious.
It was not clear whether the Academy would send people to rescue, nor whether the Academy's rescue would be effective. They could only imagine the most pessimistic direction.
After some discussion, the two reached a consensus.
The dry food Lu Yunan brought was enough for three days, and if he saved a little more, he could last for four days. They have four days to find a way out, or enough food and water for the two of them to last longer.
Li Ang carried Lu Yunan on his back and made a strap out of parachute cloth to help fix Lu Yunan's injured leg and minimize the shaking of the leg during travel.
Lu Yunan showed Li Ang the way and reported the terrain ahead.
The feeling of losing his eyesight was terrible. Li Ang fell down several times while holding the triangular gun. Later, he slowly adapted and walked faster.
Stopping and walking, leaving engraved messages on the wall (for possible reinforcements), it lasted for seven or eight hours, but the scene ahead was still hopelessly monotonous.
After walking for a few more hours, I finally saw a stream ahead. The water source of the stream comes from the cracks in the rocks of the mountain wall.
The two dug out a lot of dry lichen and moss from the rock wall, lit it with flint and steel, added talisman paper to support the burning, and raised a small bonfire.
Then Li Ang took out the psychic paper, folded it into a disk, poured in stream water, and heated it on the fire (the psychic paper is made of special material and will not burn).
After the water cooled down, Lu Yunan took the initiative to take a sip, and then let Li Ang drink after confirming that everything was fine. The latter was a doctor. If the stream water was contaminated with some component of Li Yuan's mist and made people sick, at least Li Ang could be treated. Find a way to provide first aid.
After drinking the water, the two listened to the wind and strange noises, rested at the bottom of the valley for a night, and continued to move forward the next day.
The journey on the second day was equally boring, with the same rift valley and the same scenery.
The atmosphere became much more depressing. Li Ang and Lu Yunan stopped chatting to consume energy and set up tents for the night like last night.
Early the next morning, Lu Yunan woke up from her sleep and heard a clanging sound coming from outside the tent.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the tent, and saw Li Ang standing in front of the cliff, hitting the rock wall with a three-edged gun.
"What are you doing?"
"Cut the wall."
Li Ang spoke concisely and to the point, holding the triangular gun and tapping the rock wall hard. It wasn't until his arm was hit by a flying stone that he put down the gun barrel and reached out to touch the rock wall.
There is only a depression in the cliff the size of an egg.
Hard enough.
He turned around and said: "We don't have enough dry food. If we stay at the bottom of the valley any longer, we will run out of food in two days, and we will starve to death soon."
The only way to survive is to climb up. "
up...
Lu Yunan followed Li Ang's gesture and looked overhead. There was only thick fog and gloomy gray cliffs in the sky above.
She took a deep breath, "Is it possible?"
"Let me try."
Li Ang put the three-edged gun back into his pocket, put his palm on the cliff, and hooked his fingertips into the gaps between the rocks.
From memory, place your toes into the egg-sized depression and slowly shift your weight.
He slowly climbed up the cliff and climbed up. However, before he could climb a few meters, he reached an unstable rock wall.
With a bang, the rock wall peeled off, his hands loosened, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Yunan came to Li Ang holding on to the wall and pulled him up.
Li Ang stood up. At this height, his back was not injured. He just remained silent and punched the cliff as if to vent his anger.
Blind vision, sealed sea of qi, and uncertain fate. The powerlessness, boredom, anxiety, fear, and anger that had accumulated over the past few days all burst out at this moment.
Li Ang punched the cliff one after another until his fingers were broken and blood flowed out. Lu Yunan on the side gently held his arm.
"Let me help you."
Lu Yunan whispered: "Let's climb out together."
Li Ang looked up at the other party, and all he could see in his eyes was the long white hair of the other party.
"On land before, the lightning strike spell I used to smash Ghost Shovel's head was actually beyond the scope of Xunyun Realm, and was almost 70% as powerful as the Thunder Cloud Technique of Zhuxiao Realm."
Lu Yunan said: "I have the ability to observe, calculate, and predict.
See the cloud weather and predict the weather in the next few days.
See the changes in aura and predict the effects of spells.
Sometimes this ability is close to foresight. Under uncontrolled circumstances, you can suddenly 'see' changes in the next few hours or even days.
I saw in the north that you might die in the hands of the Ghost Spade in the future, so I asked Garro to support you in advance through the Chichi Insect. "
Li Ang was slightly stunned when he heard this, it turned out to be a prophecy ability.
It's a pity that there is no lottery or stock market in this part of the world.
Lu Yunan held Li Ang's shoulders and stepped back half a step, looked up at the steep cliff, and pointed to a few rocks, "These places cannot support a person's weight and will peel off.
These places are fine. Try it? "
"good."
Li Ang carried Lu Yunan on his back and tried to climb again.
Lu Yunan kept reporting the direction and distance of reliable rocks. Li Ang carefully groped the rock wall and grasped the protruding rocks for climbing.
The two cooperated tacitly, and soon climbed to a height of about seven or eight stories above the ground, and touched the floating thick fog.
They waited quietly in the thick fog for a while, without experiencing respiratory poisoning or encountering monsters, and then continued to climb up a certain distance.
After confirming that this method was feasible, they returned the same way and began to pack their things.
In order to travel lightly, they discarded all unnecessary things such as charm plates, body armor and stomach, and tried to reduce the weight as much as possible.
"Glow Crossbow..."
Li Ang hesitated, weighed the rather heavy crossbow, and considered whether to put it on the pile of items that needed to be discarded.
"Keep it."
Lu Yunan said: "On the way up, you are likely to encounter monsters living in the rift valley. Even if the special ability of the crossbow itself cannot be used,
Add a bow string to it and it can still be fired. "
Right.
Li Ang removed a piece of silk paracord and tied it to both sides of the glow crossbow arm. He also took a triangular gun, disassembled and smashed the talisman plate into pieces, and removed a few steel nails from the wreckage to use as a simple crossbow arrow.
He tied the glowing crossbow to his leg, carried Lu Yunan on his back, and began to climb Liyuan.
