Under the dim moonlight, Yangshan Town was quiet, with only some special places making constant sounds.
On the wall of the security team's backyard prison, Li Zhengyi stood on it. After just taking a gentle breath, he jumped off the wall silently.
Below the wall is close to the river bank. This river is relatively fast and is more than ten feet wide at this place.
It would have been easier and safer to jump directly from the wall to the other side.
But in that case, exerting force under your feet should leave more obvious marks.
In order to buy more time, Li Zhengyi jumped off the wall, stepped on the river embankment, and then jumped over.
The distance of more than ten feet, coupled with the unevenness of the river embankment, made it difficult for Li Zhengyi.
After all, the embankment under his feet was less than one meter wide, so there was no extra distance for him to run.
But the arrow is on the string and must be fired. What's more, Li Zhengyi is still very confident in his abilities.
I saw that his legs were slightly bent, and the muscles in his lower body were bulging high.
Then he exerted all his strength and jumped towards the other side, like a heavy cannonball, rushing straight over.
Even though the time was only a blink of an eye, when he was in mid-air, Li Zhengyi felt confident that it would be more than enough for him to jump over.
But suddenly something happened that he didn't expect.
When he was only a third of the way to the other side, Li Zhengyi suddenly felt a chill on his ankle.
It was obvious that it was not a splash of water. It had a cold feeling that made his expression change.
Then immediately there was a force like a pull down from his ankle, and he was about to be pulled from mid-air into the rushing water.
At this extremely critical moment, Li Zhengyi, under conditioned reflex, waved the golden sword in his hand and slashed downwards.
"Wow…"
It seemed as if he heard a sharp, piercing howl, and then the pull on his ankle immediately disappeared.
But at this time, the forward inertia was no longer enough to support him to rush to the other side.
In a desperate situation, his body relied on the common reaction force of swings, coupled with the powerful core explosive force.
The body twisted in the air and threw itself to the other side of the river.
To be more precise, he was thrown onto the shallows on the river bank, and his body hit the shallow water mixed with mud and stones.
But he barely stopped, and like a spring, he quickly jumped to the path on the shore again.
For the sake of safety, Li Zhengyi ignored the mud and water on his body and stepped back a foot again. He stopped after a long distance.
"call…"
Even he didn't notice, he was so frightened by what just happened that he broke into a cold sweat.
If he was pulled into the fast current, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
He touched his left ankle with his hand, and now there was a cold feeling, which slowly disappeared under the offset of the warm blood all over his body.
He was also a little scared about what he had just encountered.
After all, if he was pulled into the rushing river by that thing, even if he had all kinds of abilities, it would be difficult to use them.
"cocoa?"
The little guy came out of his collar and asked him curiously what happened.
Li Zhengyi didn't speak. He looked at the river that he jumped over just now, and felt that there was still a pair of vicious and cold eyes staring at him in it.
He knew some of the sayings about never getting close to rivers at night, but this was the first time Li Zhengyi had encountered such personal feelings.
After reminding himself again that this is a dangerous world and that he must be careful, he patted the little guy's head, turned around and left quickly.
As the distance from the river got farther and farther, the cold and vicious eyes seemed to slowly disappear.
At this time, Li Zhengyi had already walked to the mountain forest a little further away, and stopped to wipe the muddy water on his body with leaves.
He looked around and decided to keep this distance and walked upstream of the river.
Now if you want to return to the town, you must cross this river. Relatively speaking, the upstream is definitely easier than the downstream.
It would be even better if you could hit a bridge.
Looking at the sky, it was already late at night, and he guessed it was probably around midnight.
In a world full of ghosts and dangers, if you continue to stay, it will become unsafe in this forest.
We must quickly return to the town where the crowds are denser.
Without any further hesitation, he used the golden sword to cut off a wooden staff as tall as a person from the nearby tree trunk.
Then he held a stick in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and rushed towards the left front.
Compared with flat roads, driving in the mountains and forests can be very difficult, let alone late at night when the night is thick.
At this time, the tree crown above the head was still lush, and the moonlight could hardly shine through the gaps, making the surrounding environment even darker and darker.
Fortunately, Li Zhengyi's eyesight is better than that of ordinary people. At this time, he will no longer wear the pair of sunglasses because he wants to maintain his image.
Moreover, the golden sword in his hand also gave him a greater sense of security, so he could feel more at ease with his wooden stick and rush forward along the rugged mountain road.
The forest at night is always filled with all kinds of strange sounds, such as the chirping of birds, the roar of animals, and even the chirping of tiny insects, which can make people alert.
Although driving in the mountains and forests late at night, the speed will be very slow.
But not long after, Li Zhengyi could no longer see where he came from.
And slightly embarrassingly, he thought he might be a little lost.
I used to think that as long as I kept a certain distance from the river, I wouldn't get lost if I walked upstream.
But as he walked, Li Zhengyi noticed the other side. The outlines of houses and buildings that could still be seen before have become invisible.
Moreover, the distance from the river seems to have deviated. Anyway, from his current position, he could no longer hear the sound of rushing water.
It was so dark around that nothing could be seen, only the silhouettes of some trees.
But it was impossible to stop here and wait for dawn, then others might have caught up long ago.
So Li Zhengyi took a breath and walked forward, but as he walked, he also adjusted his direction and kept walking to the right.
As long as the general direction is good, it shouldn't be long before you can see the river again.
He will definitely not be so far away by then. According to previous experience, as long as he is a few feet away from the river, the things inside should be unable to do anything to him.
At most, it would make him feel a little cold and uncomfortable, but Li Zhengyi's strong will could still restrain the small impact.
