Cliff, space...
There is a cliff space spanning nearly two kilometers between the mountains on the Dinglong Mountain Range and Ye Qiong!
This distance gradually becomes shorter as it extends to the north, until it converges into one body at the end of the line of sight in the distance.
If viewed from the air, the shape of this cliff area is a bit like a speedboat. The front is sharp, the middle is wider, and the end is slightly tapered.
The Dinglong Mountain Range opposite is also a cliff. If you want to go down, it is very difficult. There is no normal road to get in. The shuttle-shaped terrain means that if humans want to enter below, they can only use ropes to slowly hang up and fall down.
After walking about five kilometers further, Ye Qiong saw a place where scavengers gathered in front of him. There was a protrusion in the terrain here, which was exactly what Ye Qiong was looking for.
After arriving, Ye Qiong discovered...
At the end of the protruding area, there is actually a stone path that extends downward!
The stone path is not very wide, about three meters wide. Ye Qiong is sure of one thing first, that is, this stone path is not naturally formed!
In the summer, the surrounding vegetation is so lush that you can't even spot it. After winter, this stone path was revealed after being trampled by scavengers.
In other words, you can only have a chance to discover this place in winter or early spring.
If it is after the early spring, as everything revives, the grass on the ground is wrapped, and this stone path about three and a half meters wide will blend into the weeds on the edge of the cliff. Unless you walk in by mistake, otherwise it will be Definitely not found.
However, in winter, it is a bit too obvious here. The scavengers regard this place as a road.
The road leading to the cliff!
The width of three and a half meters is very generous for Ye Qiong. Some places are slightly narrower, and some are wider. For Daidai, it will definitely not fit in...
If Daidai really wants to go on, he must stand upright like a human being!
Then he faced the cliff, used his own two legs and feet for support, and then moved down from the top bit by bit like a crab.
This action is very difficult for humans. Although Duodu's intelligence is quite high, this action is a bit excessive and obviously impossible.
You can imagine what it feels like to crawl sideways on a plank road that is only about twenty centimeters wide on a cliff.
actually……
With Ye Qiong's current strength, if he wanted to go out and explore, he wouldn't be able to use this kind of stone path.
Even with his bare hands, Ye Qiong was confident of falling down from the cliff. If he added the bone crystal dagger and bone crystal long bow as a support point, it would not be difficult to fall down.
What is difficult is that during the process of lying down, if you encounter a Lielin Weasel or other magical beast, it will be more troublesome.
So in summer, although Ye Qiong was curious about what else was there under the cliff besides the lair of the Lielin Weasel, it would be meaningless if he went down alone.
Looking at the stone path not far away and the messy footprints left by the scavengers on the ground, Ye Qiong walked to the stone path in a daze, then jumped down and landed on the ground.
After checking the supplies on Daidai and himself, Ye Qiong asked Daidai to stay where he was, and turned around and walked towards the stone road.
On the ground, the largest footprint of the scavenger was about half a meter long. When Ye Qiong stepped on it, the surrounding area was very spacious.
A scavenger of this size...
It is still rare to see the scavengers on the west side of the Dinglong Mountains. Most of the scavengers on the west side are about one meter high, and the taller ones are only one and a half meters tall.
The footprints in front of Ye Qiong, judging from the average size and average size of the footprints, are at least more than three meters tall!
That is...
Reached the level of a high-level monster!
Ye Qiong squatted down, grabbed some snow cubes within the footprints, put them on the tip of his nose and asked gently.
Suddenly, Ye Qiong's eyebrows also wrinkled.
When things go wrong, there must be a demon!
Now I have to think of something.
That is whether these scavengers are from the west side of the Dinglong Mountains, or whether they come from...
The extremely cold place in the north!
Currently, based on Ye Qiong's understanding of the west side of the Dinglong Mountains, it is rare for a scavenger to grow to the size of a high-level monster.
Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. The greater possibility is that the footprints of the scavenger on the ground came from the extremely cold places in the north, that is, they were brought here by the Thunder Madman King!
So now it might be...
The Thunder Madman King might be down there, or nearby!
When thinking of this, Ye Qiong smelled it carefully. Surprisingly, he did not feel the breath of the madman.
"strangeness……"
After looking around, Ye Qiong murmured. He walked along and found no larger footprints.
At that time, the Thunder Madman King rode the King Scavenger to the heights of the Dinglong Mountains.
For a king-level body, the footprints here are very small, and that guy will definitely not be able to get down.
Daidai can walk upright, but the structure of the body of the king scavenger does not allow it to straighten its waist.
Ye Qiong continued to look up at the peak of the Dinglong Mountain Range, and now he could estimate the location of the Thunder Madman King.
But there is no need to worry. After the previous battle, the Thunder Madman King is almost left with only one polished commander. The several mutant madmen following him may not be able to withstand the low temperature high in the Dinglong Mountains.
Even if you can withstand it, there is nothing to fear in a short period of time. At least this winter, and until the cold winter comes next year, it is impossible for the Thunder and Lightning Madman King to appear again. The accumulated huge beast tide and mad people, It is only possible to form in early winter.
Therefore, the Madman King of Thunder and Lightning is only rich once, and his situation at this moment is certain to be miserable!
It's not fun to wander around the winter wilderness of Snow Star with a few mutant maniacs.
Even if the Thunder Madman King is very powerful, he still has to commit a lot of crimes.
Not sure...
He could really ride that king scavenger from the extremely cold land in the north, cross over from the Dinglong Mountains, and then enter the Dinglong Mountains.
After all, in terms of temperature, compared with the extreme low temperatures in the extremely cold places in the north, the temperature above the Dinglong Mountains is not much different.
As for the terrain restrictions, judging from the size of the King Scavenger, as long as you don't encounter a cliff with a drop of several hundred meters, climbing up and down won't be a big problem.
So on the whole, there is no big crisis for the central tribe in this cold winter. As for the wooden house base in the Dinglong Mountains, if the Thunder Madman King really climbs the outer peaks, he must be more careful. In terms of the troops on the side, the Thunder Madman King can pose a threat if he can assemble a large-scale beast tide and mad crowd.
When he thought of this, Ye Qiong sat cross-legged on the snow, and the animal skin coat naturally wrapped his thighs and...
After isolating the low temperature on the ground, there is no problem in sitting on the ground for a while. The thermal insulation effect of the animal skin coat is very good. The animal skin coat Ye Qiong is wearing is made of the animal skin of the king lion. It is very tough and cannot be cut by ordinary swords.
After sitting on the ground, Ye Qiong took out the map wrapped around his waist and began to study it.
He placed his index finger on the map and tapped it gently. It was the Thunder Madman King who led the mutant madmen to climb to a higher position in the Dinglong Mountains.
Then with a slight slide of his right hand, he reached the Dinglong Mountain Range!
The position of the fingertips at this moment points directly to the Red Flame Leopard Tribe in the Dinglong Mountains!
In terms of distance, after climbing over the peak of the Dinglong Mountains, there is a dense forest area next to it, but if you go further north, you will find the location of the Red Flame Leopard Tribe!
At this moment, there is no way to calculate the direction and true position specifically. We can only use the existing methods to make a rough estimate.
To sum up, if the Thunder Madman King climbs over the Dinglong Mountains, he will have a chance to encounter the Red Flame Leopard Tribe.
A madman king, with a small team, meets a tribe that is inextricably related to the madman king in ancient times. What kind of sparks will fly?
"Tsk, it's difficult..." Ye Qiong muttered, then put the map away, and after walking a dozen steps forward, he came to the stone path on the edge of the cliff.
He turned around and waved his hand at Daidai. Daidai immediately lay down obediently on the ground and stopped moving. He squinted at Ye Qiong's figure and slowly disappeared at the edge of the cliff.
The three-and-a-half-meter-wide stone path was very spacious for Ye Qiong to walk on. At this distance, human warriors riding down the snow-covered demon wolves could move forward two abreast.
In the summer, there are harassments from the ferrets. In the winter, walking on this stone path close to the cliff gives you a lonely mood.
To Ye Qiong's right hand side is the cliff that seems to have been cut across the Dinglong Mountains, with a peak of tens of thousands of meters. Looking up, it blocks the sky in the east. To the left is the cliff next to Ye Qiong's step by step. Going down, the height of the wall gradually increases.
It seemed that only Ye Qiong was left in the world, carrying a black long bow and wearing a thick animal skin coat, walking slowly on the plank road above the cliff.
It feels a bit like the lonely shadow of a cold river. Under the cliff, due to the terrain, there is a high probability that there is a river, even in the cold winter!
The lonely shadow of the cold mountain, the snowy wasteland...
When he reached the edge of the stone path, Ye Qiong squatted on the ground and looked down.
Then I discovered that at the bottom, between the boulders, there was actually a meandering stream.
In the summer, it is difficult to see things above the surface due to vegetation. After winter, the scene under the cliff is completely exposed.
Ye Qiong continued walking down, and after a while, he saw a dark cave entrance...
If you look up and look to the left, you will find that there are many more holes above, some far away are tens of meters apart, some closer are only a few meters away, and the entrances of those holes are also large and small.
The larger one is actually more than ten meters in diameter!
The smaller ones are only a few dozen centimeters, as if they were dug out by some small beast.
As for those large holes that are more than ten meters direct, they are definitely not something that little beasts can dig out.
What is also certain is that they are not naturally formed, and the densely packed holes make one's scalp feel numb and the heart feel a little panicked.
In the summer, those fierce skunks come out of these holes.
So if you go in now, you can actually see those hibernating ferrets.
Ye Qiong had no plans to go in for the time being. He didn't even prepare a torch at the moment, so he just stuffed two fire sticks into his pocket. So after entering those caves, when the fire sticks were used up, he would be no different from a blind man.
When in the wild, fire breakers are used for emergencies. It is OK for short-term lighting, but it is somewhat unrealistic for long-term lighting.
On the stone path, there are still some footprints of scavengers, extending downward.
After walking about fifty meters further to the side, Ye Qiong came to the black hole he just saw.
This is a hole about five meters straight, very round!
If you look inside from the entrance of the cave, it feels so dark and deep that you can't even see the end.
There were footprints of scavengers on the ground at the entrance of the cave, and they disappeared deep into the cave. Those scavengers must have gone in!
As for why he went in, it is unknown.
There is still a long way to go down the stone path, and it gradually becomes narrower.
From a visual inspection, it is difficult to tell whether this stone path is naturally formed or man-made. It is located next to the end of the cliff and has been deliberately expanded into it.
If it was dug manually, too much time has passed...
It has been like the altar at the base of the waterfall for a long time. It has naturally fallen off and been weathered. It is rare to see some traces of human excavation over thousands of years.
A faint fishy smell came out of the hole, and the scavenger excrement asked.
"Hiss..."
Ye Qiong sniffed it gently, but still didn't smell the madman's smell.
He felt a little more at ease in his heart. After years of contact with the madman, Ye Qiong was already very familiar with the stench emanating from the madman.
As long as the madman passes by, Ye Qiong can smell that smell within a day or two.
no way……
It is a characteristic of a madman to defecate anywhere, so it is not difficult to track a madman in the wild.
Serious people have nothing to do, so they won't chase madmen for fun. Only in winter, when several tribes unite to kill the madmen, will they track them.
Ye Qiong looked at the dark hole and touched the two fire folds in his pocket.
He turned around and looked at the cliffs behind him, the peaks of the Dinglong Mountains, and...
Yaoyao decided to go in and take a look at the azure mother star above the sky.
Just don't go too deep.
After making the decision, Ye Qiong took his right hand back from his waist bag, took out the bone crystal dagger, played with it in his hand, and walked into the cave!
