As he stepped into the unknown and mysterious jungle, Lu Xuan felt as if he had crossed the boundaries of time and space.
Just one step away, the beach feels like a world away. Sunlight filters through the dense treetops, scattering dappled light on the ground, creating a maze of intertwined light and shadow, draping this ancient land with a mysterious and alluring veil.
All around, a variety of vegetation flourishes, like an exhibition hall of nature's most exquisite creations. The dense forest, like a green giant, guards this secret place. Its thick trunks and luxuriant branches and leaves intertwine to form an impenetrable web, completely isolating it from the outside world. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, whispering secrets hidden for centuries.
Lu Xuan has no time to care about these rare plants now. He doesn't care whether you are a rare treasure or not. As long as you stand in front of him, he will chop you down with his sword.
Lu Xuan headed south, and he was invincible wherever he went, so that he could always stay close to the cliff path and not deviate from the route.
For the first few hundred meters, the cliff on his left was still tall and straight, as if to challenge Lu Xuan: Want to pass through me? Wishful thinking.
Lu Xuan was not discouraged. After all, he had already prepared in his mind that finding a way to cross the cliff would definitely not be that easy. Lu Xuan was even prepared to spend the night on this side of the cliff.
Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Xuan never stopped using the machete in his hand, cutting through thorns and bushes along the way. Every time he walked a distance, he would pick up the telescope he carried with him from time to time to find a relatively high point and look further into the distance, so as to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.
But even after the sun above his head shifted several angles, the thirsty Lu Xuan still did not find a breakthrough. The only good news was that the cliff on the left seemed to have slightly lowered its altitude.
Although the extent of this drop is so small that it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it without a reference for comparison, for Lu Xuan, this is still good news worth being thankful for. The altitude continues to decrease, which means that the deeper you go, the more likely you are to find a breakthrough.
Just as Lu Xuan was taking a nap to replenish his water under an unknown tree that was as thick as the waist circumference of three adults, he vaguely heard the sound of flowing water in the intervals between the birds singing in the forest.
Lu Xuan stood up suddenly, took out a telescope and began to look towards the south.
Because there were too many tall vegetation in front of him, Lu Xuan's vision was blocked.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to put away the telescope and water bottle temporarily, and continued to move south quickly with great anticipation.
Sure enough, after Lu Xuan passed several extremely thick willow trees, the sound of water became clearer and more audible.
Lu Xuan raised the telescope again and looked into the distance. A clear river was flowing from east to west.
At just one glance, Lu Xuan reflexively recalled the stream he saw when he first met Yin Yichen... Could it be that the clear spring in front of him and the stream where Yin Yichen originally lived were actually the same stream?
With questions and expectations, Lu Xuan ran quickly towards the clear spring.
After getting closer, Lu Xuan looked at it carefully. It was hard to say whether it was the same stream as the one where Yin Yichen and Leng Mengyao originally lived... He had no direct evidence to prove anything, but when he looked up to his left, Lu Xuan discovered a great piece of good news.
Just as Leng Mengyao said, the terrain where the stream flows is relatively low.
Even more astonishing is the way those once towering cliffs, reaching into the sky, have been suddenly chopped apart by the brook's relentless erosion, as if by the invisible axe of time, leaving behind a series of startling cracks. This stream, less than two meters wide, miraculously penetrates the solid rock, bisecting the cliffs like a thin line between heaven and earth.
Lu Xuan took two steps at a time and stepped on the broken raindrop stones beside the stream, easily crossing the cliff that originally looked like a no-entry zone.
Without taking a break, Lu Xuan returned directly to where he was with this great news. As long as he could cross this barrier, the rest of the journey would only be a matter of time.
When the originally dazzling sunlight became gentle and dignified, Lu Xuan successfully returned to the beach.
Leng Mengyao on the beach was staring at the south. When he saw Lu Xuan running out of the jungle with cheerful steps, Leng Mengyao guessed the result.
"Found it?"
"Yes, yes, there really is a stream. Do you remember where you and Yin Yichen used to live? There's one there too. I even suspect the two streams are actually one. Let's not think too much about it for now. The sun is about to set. We have to cross this cliff quickly. If we can successfully reach Lu Yuqiang's cave before dark, we will be safe today."
Lu Xuan's plan was actually very simple. It was impossible to return to his cave by land within half a day. The first obstacle was the cliff. As for the second obstacle, that was where he would stay tonight. After all, no one wanted to live on the ground in the wilderness. The risk was too great.
But what lies before you is time.
"Then let's go."
Leng Mengyao struggled to get up and limped into the jungle.
"Let me carry you on my back. It's definitely much faster than you can walk."
Seeing that every step the other party took was extremely difficult, Lu Xuan walked quickly to Leng Mengyao and squatted down.
"You'll get tired if you keep carrying this."
Leng Mengyao was obviously still a little shy. Lu Xuan had already been carrying her on his back for several hours. The remaining jungle road was already difficult to walk on. If she continued to let Lu Xuan carry her on his back, she would feel really bad.
"Not at all. I guess there are plenty of men in the city who would love to carry you on their backs every day. As for me, I'm close to the water and I'm the first to see the moon."
In order to ease the embarrassment, Lu Xuan even made fun of himself.
As a result, Lu Xuan's joke seemed to backfire, and Leng Mengyao's face became even redder.
Lu Xuan carried the girl on his back again and jogged all the way in order to save time.
Fortunately, Leng Mengyao is really light. Lu Xuan even thinks that he weighs more than 80 kilograms. Could this be the legendary "light bones"?
But there is a question that Lu Xuan has never figured out. You don't have much flesh on your body, so why are the parts of your body that should be convex still straight... This is not scientific.
It turns out that this fat automatically grows in good places?
In order to save time and because he was familiar with the terrain and road conditions here, Lu Xuan almost ran the whole way.
The speed was indeed fast, but Leng Mengyao on his back kept falling off from time to time, so Lu Xuan could only lift his hips up to his thighs again and again...
result……
The trousers Leng Mengyao was wearing were too thin.
After several times, there was only a "sizzling" sound...
