Chapter 529 Climbing
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 is getting stronger and stronger in the middle of the night, and flying sand and rocks hit the surface of the tent, making rattling noises.
Some abnormal noises can be heard vaguely. I don't know if it's the wind sweeping the canyon, or the howling of demons,
Li Ang and Lu Yunan took turns keeping vigil, finally survived 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 is not clear whether the Academy will send rescuers, or whether the Academy’s rescue will be effective. They can only imagine in the most pessimistic direction.
After some discussion, the two reached a consensus.
The dry food that Lu Yunan brought was enough for three days, and if he saved some, he could last for four days. They have to find a way to get out within four days, 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 leg shaking during the march.
Lu Yunan showed Li Ang the way and reported the terrain ahead.
The feeling of losing eyesight was terrible. Li Ang fell down several times while leaning on the three-edged gun, and then he slowly adapted and walked faster.
Stopped and stopped, leaving notches on the wall (for possible reinforcements), which lasted for seven or eight hours, and the scene ahead was still hopelessly monotonous.
After walking for several 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 a lot of dry lichens and moss from the rock wall, lit them with flint, added talisman paper to support the combustion, and set up a small bonfire.
Then Li Ang took out the psychic paper, folded it into a plate shape, poured it into the stream, 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 a sip and asked Li Ang to drink it after confirming that it was all right. The latter is a doctor. If the stream water is contaminated with some ingredient in the mist of Li Yuan and makes people sick, at least it can make Li Ang think. First aid.
After drinking the water, the two listened to the sound of the wind and the abnormal noise, rested at the bottom of the valley for the 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 depressed. Li Ang and Lu Yunan stopped chatting and wasting energy, and set up their tents for the night like last night.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yunan woke up from her sleep and heard clanging sounds coming from outside the tent.
She opened the tent rubbing her sleepy eyes, and saw Li Ang standing in front of the cliff, smashing the rock wall with a three-edged gun.
"What are you doing?"
"Chisel the wall."
Li Ang spoke concisely, holding the three-edged gun and slamming the rock wall heavily, until his arm was hit by a stone returned by the missile, then put down the gun barrel, and reached out to touch the rock wall.
There is only an egg-sized depression on the cliff.
The hardness is enough.
He turned around and said: "There is not enough dry food, if we stay at the bottom of the valley, we will have no food in two days, and we will starve to death in a short time.
The only way to survive is to climb up. "
up
Lu Yunan followed Li Ang's gestures and looked overhead. There was only thick fog and gloomy and deep gray cliffs in the sky above.
She took a deep breath, "Is it possible?"
"Let me try."
Li Ang put the triangular gun back into his pocket, touched the cliff with his palm, and hooked his fingertips into the gap between the rocks.
Relying on memory, put your toes into the egg-sized depression, and slowly shift your body weight.
With a bang, the rock wall peeled off, and he let go of his hand, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Yunan leaned on the wall and came to Li Ang's side, pulling him up.
Li Ang stood up, this height did not hurt his back, he just remained silent, and punched the cliff as if venting his anger.
Blind eyesight, sealed sea of qi, uncertain fate of life and death. 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 until his fingers were skinned and blood flowed out. Lu Yunan on the side gently held his arm.
"Let me help you."
Lu Yunan said softly: "Let's climb out together."
Li Ang raised his head and looked at the other party, with blurred vision, he could only distinguish the other party's long white hair.
"Before on land, the lightning strike spell I used to smash Ghost Spade's head was actually beyond the scope of the Cloud Patrol Realm, and it was almost 70% as powerful as the Thunder Cloud Spell at the Candle Sky Realm."
Lu Yunan said: "I have abilities, namely observation, calculation, and prediction.
See the cloud weather and predict the weather in the next few days.
See the changes in aura and predict the effect of spells.
Sometimes this ability is close to foresight. Without control, one can suddenly 'see' changes in the next few hours or even days.
I saw in the northern border that you might die in the hands of the ghost shovel in the future, so I asked Jia Luo to support you in advance through the close worm. "
Li Ang was slightly speechless when he heard the words, it turned out to be the ability of prophecy.
It's a pity that there is no lottery or stock market in this world.
Lu Yunan supported Li Ang's shoulders and stepped back half a step, looked up at the steep cliff, pointed to several rocks, "These places can't support a person's weight, they will peel off and fall off.
These places are fine. try? "
"good."
Li Ang carried Lu Yunan on his back and tried to climb again.
Lu Yunan kept reporting the direction and distance of the reliable rock, and Li Ang carefully groped the rock wall, grasping the protruding stones that could be climbed.
The two cooperated tacitly, and soon climbed to a height of about seven or eight floors above the ground, touching the floating dense fog.
They waited quietly in the thick fog for a while, and they continued to climb for a certain distance without any respiratory poisoning reaction or encounter with demons.
After confirming that this method is feasible, they went back the same way and started packing things.
In order to pack lightly, they discarded all unnecessary things such as talismans and personal armor, and reduced the weight as much as possible.
"Glow Crossbow"
Li Ang hesitated, weighed the rather heavy crossbow, thinking about whether to put it on the pile of items that needed to be discarded.
"Keep it."
Lu Yunan said: "It is very likely that you will encounter monsters inhabiting the rift on the way to climb, even if the special ability of the crossbow itself cannot be used,
Add a bowstring to it, and it can still fire. "
Right.
Li Ang removed a black silk umbrella rope and tied it to both sides of the glowing crossbow arm. He also took a three-edged gun and dismantled the amulet into pieces. He removed a few steel nails from the wreckage and used them as simple crossbow bolts.
He tied the glow crossbow to his leg, carried Lu Yunan on his back, and began to climb Liyuan.
