"Follow the water?" Lu Qing looked at the animal skin scroll in her hand and couldn't help but read.
It sounds like a plan related to water flow. Do you want her to go diving again? Although there is an oxygen tank at home, the gas in it is almost used up, and the oxygen compressor is still there in the abandoned train.
In other words, if this plan really requires the use of oxygen tanks, Lu Qing will have to consider whether to go back.
As for how to go back, it definitely wouldn't be through the tunnel. Didn't the three of them say that their savages have the ability to travel inside and outside the forest? Then Lu Qing can try and see if he can ask the other party.
If she really doesn't want to say anything, she can consider using her strength or directly telling the other party that there is an oxygen compressor on the train. I think the other party will be interested.
After looking at the three people who had walked away, Lu Qing returned to the house and opened the animal skin scroll.
As soon as I opened the scroll, I saw a huge map in front of me. The dark charcoal pencil described the terrain in the dark forest in detail. I could roughly see where it was higher, where it was lower, and where there were.
Cliffs, rivers, etc.
Lu Qing was really surprised when she saw this map. She didn't know exactly how big the dark forest was, but she also knew how difficult it was to record every terrain in the forest.
After all, even she would spend a month or two exploring an area, and it was still a rough exploration. She would not record every detail of the terrain in detail like the painter of the map.
From this point of view, the painter of this map is definitely not a simple person.
But looking at the map, Lu Qing suddenly noticed something strange. Logically speaking, the dark forest should be completely blocked by tree walls. However, on this map, there is one area that is not blocked by tree walls.
area!
It was a river, and the painter of the map seemed to have failed to explore it to the end. Thinking of the name of the plan to follow the river, Lu Qing had some guesses in his mind.
........
"call........."
Lu Qing exhaled slowly. She had already read the contents on the scroll. To put it simply, this plan can be summarized in just one sentence.
"There is no tree wall in front of the river. In theory, as long as you walk along the river, you will be able to leave the forest."
Ahem, this is a bit oversimplified. There is no explanation as to why there is no tree wall blocking the front of the river and why no one has succeeded so far.
First of all, the painter of this map, as Lu Qing expected, was the leader of the savages. The three of them drew it. They relied on a large number of savages under their men to explore, and it took them several years to complete the dark forest.
Every terrain has been recorded.
There are two main reasons why there is no tree wall in front of the river.
The first point is, of course, that after exploring for so long, I still haven’t been able to find where the tree wall blocking the river is. If I haven’t found it, does that mean there isn’t one?
However, this statement is somewhat untenable, and it doesn’t feel very reliable, so we mainly focus on the second point.
If you look at the map carefully, you will find that the dark forest has spread from the central point at the beginning and has now turned into an irregular long strip on the map.
The fastest spreading direction is the direction of the river!
According to the analysis of the three people, the reason why the forest formed such a shape must be inseparable from the river. Think about it carefully, how do most of the mutated creatures in the forest mutate?
Did he drink the black water from the river, or did he mutate after touching the black water on a rainy day?
Of course it is the former. After all, the probability of the latter is not very high. So if you think about it carefully, why is it water?
Of course, this is because water spreads widely, and all creatures in the forest need drinking water. If the forest has consciousness, it will definitely choose water as the raw material to promote biological mutation.
Of course, these are all speculations by the three people, and the facts are not clear. The only thing they firmly believe is that this river must be related to the expansion of the forest, so the forest cannot use tree walls to block the river, otherwise it will slow down the growth of the forest.
Expansion speed!
The speculation is almost over here. Now that I have said so much, what is the next thing to do? Is it to go straight to the river?
Wrong, everyone knows the truth, but why has no one successfully escaped from that river so far?
According to what is said on the animal skin scroll, if you keep walking along the river, you will soon come to an area filled with thick fog, where it is difficult to distinguish the direction, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in it.
In addition, the ground will become bumpy and full of puddles. If you are not careful, you will step into a puddle filled with black water and die on the spot.
And these are not the most deadly. The most deadly thing is that in that thick fog, there are many mutated creatures wrapped in pitch-black mist.
That kind of black mist will greatly improve the physical quality of the mutant creature, and will also wrap around the surface of the creature like a layer of armor. Even if it is attacked, it will not be seriously injured.
The only solution is to illuminate it with strong light. If there is no strong light, you can also use a torch, but the torch will be much slower than the strong light.
As for the deeper places, the three of them don't know, because just this current area has blocked them and they can't continue to advance.
"Black mist..."
Lu Qing touched his chin and remembered the Black Mist Headsplitter he met in the tunnel before.
At that time, even under water, the opponent's speed was far higher than that of an ordinary Head Splitter. I couldn't imagine how fast it would be if placed on more familiar land.
But Lu Qing is not very worried about this. After all, the other party will be hindered underwater, so won't she?
If she can kill once, she can kill a second time, so there is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, this scroll also explained the weaknesses of the black mist. After learning this information, Lu Qing didn't think he would be defeated.
However, there are also tricky things. Although Lu Qing is very confident, she cannot guarantee that she can protect the old man and the scientists. After all, the mutated creatures in the forest are all kinds of strange, and no matter how they are attacked, they will not be surprised.
And what was in the area behind the river was a mystery. Maybe it was intuition, or maybe it was the perception from Qianjue's Seal. She felt that the King of Head Splitters might be by the river.
"It's almost dawn, let's prepare breakfast first." Lu Qing thought as she glanced at the sky outside.
She stood up and put away the animal skin scroll.
With the three people and the contents on the scroll, she planned to talk to the other two about what to eat this morning during dinner later.
Needless to say, of course it’s instant noodles!
Rubbing his hands, although he felt a little awkward in his heart, his body honestly secreted a lot of saliva. Lu Qing tore open the package of instant noodles with unusual skill, put the noodle seasoning and water into the pot, and placed it on the gas stove
Heating on top.
After a while, a strong fragrance came out from the pot.
