It is not easy to sleep at the bottom of a cold and windy valley. Even if there is a tent to cover it, the wind will get stronger and stronger in the second half of the night, and flying sand and rocks will hit the surface of the tent, making a rattling sound.
Vaguely, you can still hear some strange noises. I don’t know if it’s the sound of wind sweeping through the canyon, or the howling of monsters.
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 unclear whether the academy would send people to rescue, or 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 some more, he could last for four days. They had to find a way out within four days, or have enough food and water for the two of them to last longer.
Li Ang carried Lu Yunan on his back and made a strap with parachute cloth to help fix Lu Yunan's injured leg and minimize the shaking of the leg during the journey.
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 carved messages on the wall (for possible reinforcements), this 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 in front of me. The water source of the stream comes from the cracks in the rocks on 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 it into the stream water, and put it on the fire to heat (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 a tent to spend 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, smashing the rock wall with a three-edged gun.
"What are you doing?"
"Cut the wall."
Li Ang spoke concisely and concisely, 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 the size of an egg on the cliff.
The hardness is 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 above her head. There was only thick fog and gloomy gray cliffs in the sky.
She took a deep breath, "Is it possible?"
"I'll try."
Li Ang put the three-edged gun back into his pocket, touched the cliff with his palm, and hooked his fingertips into the gaps between the rocks.
Relying on memory, place your toes into the egg-sized depression and slowly shift your body weight.
He slowly climbed up the cliff and climbed up, but before he could climb a few meters, he hit an unstable rock wall.
With a bang, the rock wall peeled off, his hand loosened, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Yunan held on to the wall and came to Li Ang, pulling him up.
Li Ang stood up. He didn't hurt his back at this height. He just remained silent and punched the cliff as if to vent his anger.
Blind vision, sealed sea of qi, and uncertain fate. The sense of powerlessness, boredom, anxiety, fear, and anger 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 Mo Hu could only distinguish the other party's long white hair.
"On land before, the lightning strike spell I used to smash Ghost Shovel's head was actually beyond the scope of the Patrol Cloud Realm, and was almost 70% as powerful as the Thunder Cloud Technique of the 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 spiritual energy 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 a ghost shovel in the future, so I asked Garro to support you in advance through the Chi Chi Chong."
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 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.
Are there any places you can try?"
"Okay."
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, touching the floating thick fog.
They waited quietly for a period of time in the thick fog. There was no respiratory poisoning reaction or encounter with monsters, and then they continued to climb up for a certain distance.
After confirming that this method was feasible, they returned the same way and started packing their things.
In order to travel light and simple, 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.
If you add a bow string to it, it can still be fired."
That’s 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 glow crossbow to his leg, carried Lu Yunan on his back, and began to climb Liyuan.
