After seeing this sign, several people showed a look of worry on their faces.
Ye Wan, who had been silent the whole time, walked forward, took a closer look at the sign, and said calmly, "There really is a beast."
"Yeah, but it should be fine as long as we don't go too deep, right?" Tang Ziyun said from the side.
Ye Wan nodded: "Yeah, it should be fine. People often come here for hiking, and I haven't heard of encountering wild animals. Don't worry too much."
Pan Ning also spoke at this time: "Our route won't go too deep. We'll just climb the first mountain on the outskirts. It's okay, let's go."
"Yeah, okay."
Several people agreed and continued to move forward.
However, Pan Ning did not enter from the place indicated by the sign, but led everyone to walk to the left along the edge of the forest.
"Why not just go in directly?" Su Yang asked from the side.
"Don't enter from here. Follow the route, otherwise you'll easily get lost."
"Okay, you lead the way."
The ten people walked up a long and steep slope for seven or eight hundred meters before turning into the dense forest of Chiba Mountain.
As soon as we entered the woods, the dazzling sunlight disappeared instantly, and the dense treetops blocked out the sun. At this time, the sunlight could only be seen through the gaps between the layers of leaves high up.
Thin golden beams of light shone down from the gap, passing through the light mist in the forest and tinging the surrounding space with a psychedelic color.
The temperature in the woods also drops a lot at this time.
The main reason is that these trees are very thick and tall, and the dense trees block most of the sunlight, which makes the temperature in the forest much colder than outside.
Ten people walked in the dense forest, their feet rustling on the thick dead grass and fallen leaves.
"It's so cold in here." Lu Yun said, rubbing his hands.
"Yeah, that's why I told you to put on your coats. The temperature in the mountains is much lower than outside, but it will get hot if we walk for a while. Let's walk faster."
"Yeah, okay~"
As they walked and talked, Chen Yixue ran over to Pan Ning and asked, "Panpan, where is the end of this route?"
Pan Ning smiled helplessly: "I just told you not to listen carefully."
Chen Yixue stuck out her tongue and giggled, "I didn't notice~"
Pan Ning shook her head. "The finish line is at the top of the first mountain in the outer area. It's about 1,300 meters above sea level. It's not very high, but the view is great. You can take more photos when you get up there."
"Okay, but can you really find the way?"
"Don't you see that the ground has been cleared by people who have been here before? Just follow them."
Chen Yixue looked down and saw a compacted path among the thick fallen leaves, extending straight into the woods.
"Okay, as long as you know how to get there, I'm afraid of getting lost in a place like this."
"No, let's go."
Everyone continued to follow Pan Ning into the woods. As they walked, the overall formation slowly dispersed, and the ten people were now divided into three small teams.
Pan Ning, Su Yang, Liu Bo and Ji Bo walked in the front.
Ye Wan, Zhang Ziming, and Chen Yixue are in the middle.
Lu Yun, Meng Qianyu, and Tang Ziyun were at the end, but the distance between them was not too far, only about three or four meters.
Su Yang turned around and shouted, "Everyone, try not to separate too far apart. Keep your distance. If anyone feels tired, please shout and we'll stop and rest."
"Okay! It's okay. It's just the beginning and I don't feel anything yet." Zhang Ziming agreed from behind.
"Okay, let's keep going."
I don’t know how long they walked, but a dazzling ray of sunlight shone down, and they walked out of the first dense forest and came to a relatively low valley.
A river seven or eight meters wide winds down the valley.
Liu Bo pointed at the river and shouted, "Brother Yang, could this be the upper reaches of the river in front of our camp?"
Su Yang shook his head: "It should be that river, yes, but it's not the upstream. This river looks very long. It is most likely flowing out from somewhere in the deepest part of Qianye Mountain. This section should be the downstream. The section at the entrance of our camp is probably just a branch."
Liu Bo nodded in agreement.
At this time, Ji Bo asked casually: "Do you think there are crocodiles in this river?"
"It's hard to explain. Why don't you go down and try it out?" Liu Bo joked.
Ji Bo rolled his eyes: "You want me to go back to school and be retrained early, right?"
Seeing the two of them bickering again, Su Yang interrupted, "Stop bickering, both of you. Focus and move a little closer. If you fall in, even if there's no crocodile to eat you, getting soaked is still a problem."
"Okay."
Several people walked up along the river. The road along the river was full of rocks, basically all kinds of gravel. After a few steps, a large stone blocked the road. Compared with the mountains and forests, it was much more difficult to walk outside.
Because of the terrain, everyone's speed began to slow down.
"Slow down, it's a little dangerous here, everyone help each other." Pan Ning turned his head and looked at the people behind him and instructed.
"Okay~"
Although Pan Ning doesn't go to the gym, she has a treadmill, an exercise bike, a yoga mat and other things at home.
Su Yang noticed it the last time he went there. It seems that he exercises a lot at home.
At this time, except for Ye Wan, the other girls all looked more or less tired, but she didn't even look like she had taken a breath.
And she had been walking very fast since she started. When she encountered larger rocks or something, she used her hands and feet to climb over them.
Su Yang wanted to help her several times but she didn't need him.
