This not only expresses the terror and danger of the wild, but also illustrates that it will take more time.
For a complete novice with little wilderness survival experience, being able to walk three kilometers in the Amazon in a single day without getting injured is already an extraordinary feat.
Because the terrain here is complex and the roads are rugged, the difficulty of traveling is only the least of the problems.
In addition to always being wary of poisonous creatures around you, you also need to learn to distinguish the correct paths.
Once you get lost, you'll most likely be waiting to die.
Therefore, without the help of tools, they almost always traveled in fits and starts.
The actual time spent traveling is less than the time spent figuring out the route.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had a map, as well as leg wraps and sleeves to protect him from danger.
Otherwise, given their speed of five people, and the need to find water, how could they possibly walk 4 kilometers in a day?
The weather was rather gloomy today. Even though it was already past 8 o'clock, the dark clouds refused to disperse.
The sky was gray and gloomy, giving people a feeling of oppression and depression.
Ye Feng hated this kind of weather because it would generate negative emotions and make people feel listless.
Last night's heavy rain shrouded the land in layers of white mist.
Visibility became extremely limited, the ground was slippery, and humidity in the air soared.
The humid heat seemed to make their skin feel sticky, even more uncomfortable than yesterday's scorching sun.
"Ouch!"
As Ye Feng walked down a slope, he lost his footing and almost fell to the ground on the slippery mud.
Fortunately, their formation was in the shape of an "1", and Fu Changxiong behind him grabbed his backpack immediately, which prevented him from falling.
"Don't rush, bro. Didn't you say safety first? Be careful."
Ye Feng regained his footing and looked around at the vast expanse of white, as if he had entered a world of mist.
This is not a good sign for those on their journey.
"You guys be careful too, it would be a real problem if you fell and got hurt. These kinds of foggy days are the easiest to have accidents."
"knew."
Everyone gripped their walking sticks tightly, taking one step at a time, moving forward like an old woman walking.
This slowed down their progress, but it was safer and didn't take up as much energy.
Most importantly, they can collect some herbs along the way.
And so, the group climbed up and down the slopes, trudging along the muddy road for more than two hours.
A few rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds without anyone noticing, and the fog was no longer as murky as it had been in the morning.
At this moment, the group was still in the vast forest.
Liu Sisi suddenly stopped everyone and started straining her ears to listen for something.
A moment later, she pointed to the 10 o'clock position, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Brother Feng, there seems to be a waterfall up ahead."
Are you sure it's a waterfall?
Ye Feng asked nervously.
Liu Sisi nodded firmly; when it came to hearing, her ears were the most sensitive among them.
The last time she was floating on the river, that was the first sound of the waterfall she heard.
"That should be right. The sound of the water is booming, and the sound of flowing water is gurgling."
Only a large amount of water falling from a height can produce this sound.
Moreover, this waterfall seems to be even bigger than the ones we encountered before.
"Take a look at the map. Is that direction on our route?"
"Hold…"
Ye Feng cursed under his breath in exasperation.
"It seems hoping for a smooth journey there is indeed wishful thinking. That damn production team, they really know how to pull off some crazy things..."
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't look at his watch and even looked like he had given up on life, Liu Sisi naturally guessed the result.
Clearly, that's the place they're going to pass through.
"Brother Feng, can we take a detour?"
Ye Feng tightened the straps, his expression turning serious again.
"Let's go check the situation first. If it's not too far away, then we'll take the detour."
After saying that, the group started walking again.
As the distance closed, the sound of the enormous waterfall grew louder and louder.
It sounded a bit like the sound of a reservoir releasing floodwaters in China; it was so loud that the five of them had to raise their voices to talk to each other.
Ye Feng's heart began to clench.
This indicates that the waterfall is extremely high and covers a very wide area; otherwise, it would not be able to produce such a sound.
After walking for less than ten minutes, they came to see a large river.
Ye Feng quickly walked to the shore, took out his binoculars, and sure enough…
This river is incredibly wide, about 100 to 130 meters wide.
Due to the heavy rain last night, the river water has turned a murky yellow.
The river was flowing extremely fast, at least as fast as a primary school student running.
Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce that the terrain here is downhill.
Ye Feng then looked downstream and, sure enough, the river broke off 150 meters ahead.
If that's not a waterfall, then what is it?
The group quickened their pace and walked down the riverbank. Before long, they reached the edge of the waterfall.
Everyone gasped in astonishment at the sight before them, utterly stunned by what they had just witnessed.
Vast, magnificent, and majestic—these words perfectly encapsulate this masterpiece created by nature.
The waterfall, over a hundred meters wide, forms a nearly seamless curtain of water, cascading neatly downwards.
The splashing water was probably ten meters high.
Below is another large river, and the vegetation and trees on both banks seem to be greener than in other places because they have been nourished by the water for a long time.
The place they were in was a steep cliff with a slope of about 90 degrees and a height of about 60 meters.
There is visible dark green moss on the cliff face.
It's as if God deliberately used a knife to cut out this enormous staircase at an angle.
"Brother Feng, how about we take a detour? There's so much moss here, it's very slippery."
Liu Sisi clung tightly to a tree trunk on the edge of the cliff, her voice trembling slightly.
It's obvious that the previous fall off the cliff left him with psychological trauma.
As a rock climbing enthusiast, she is well aware of the dangers that come with encountering moss-covered cliff faces during rappelling.
A slip of the hand or foot could result in a fatal fall.
Ye Feng didn't reply to her. After silently looking around, his expression became serious.
Because the shore where they were located was still a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
If he wanted to take a detour, he had no idea when he would be able to get around it.
Moreover, if you deviate from the map, not only will you waste time, but if you get lost, it will be really dangerous.
The most crucial thing is that he's unfamiliar with this jungle, and if he wanders around aimlessly, there are far too many uncontrollable dangers.
But if you were to rappel down using a rope, the moss would be so slippery…
If you lose your footing even slightly, it can easily cause your center of gravity to shift.
If your body becomes unstable, the rope may sway and you could lose your grip.
