Chapter 868 Cliff
Chapter 868 Cliff
If something seems slightly off, take the stick in your hand and test it first.
Once you've confirmed everything is okay, then move on.
After walking a distance, the footprints on the ground gradually became clearer.
Looking at the tracks left by the runners, one could clearly see the tension of the chase.
Even without seeing it with my own eyes, the scene at that time had already roughly taken shape in my mind.
To this, Lu Qingqing could only silently give a thumbs up.
In her memory, the last person who died from exhaustion while chasing prey on foot was a Bushman from an African primitive tribe.
The second one is the team led by Bai Song.
Despite the complaints, the marks on the ground were most likely left by Bai Song and his group.
Although they had no relationship with Bai Song and his group, and were even somewhat hostile towards them.
It's not impossible to massacre those hundred or so people in the mountains.
But don't forget, there are still a hundred or so soldiers in Fushan Town.
Lu Qingqing believed that Bai Song must have had a backup plan if he dared to follow them into the mountains.
Therefore, she and Qin Lang had already discussed it before going into the mountains this time.
Teach them as much as you can about hunting.
If you encounter problems on the road, try your best to help those in need.
Try not to make enemies with Bai Song and the others on this trip into the mountains.
Of course, if you're really in mortal danger, you should save yourself first.
The two continued walking forward, and the tracks ahead became clearer.
They even found rabbit footprints along the edge of the road.
Lu Qingqing looked ahead and saw that the traces on the winding, narrow mountain path seemed to stretch on forever.
The two cautiously moved forward while observing their surroundings.
After walking for an unknown distance, the trail ahead suddenly disappeared.
Lu Qingqing looked to the left and right and found that the footprints eventually disappeared into the bushes on the right.
Worried that there might be a trap at the edge of the bushes like last time, she cautiously probed before slowly approaching.
The two entered the bushes one after the other.
Following the trail, we walked a short distance further in and discovered that there was another path behind it.
Seeing the footprints on the path, Lu Qingqing felt even more certain.
It's likely that Bai Song and his group started their journey from here.
However, the further you go, the narrower the path becomes.
Further on, the path narrowed to only one person at a time.
Looking at the bottomless cliffs beside her, even Lu Qingqing, who wasn't afraid of heights, felt her legs go weak.
Even as I gripped the rock face tightly with my hands, thoughts still involuntarily surfaced in my mind.
The thought of what to do if I fall.
Even more surprisingly, solutions are automatically simulated in the mind.
If you fall, you can teleport into the space.
Then come out again, fall a distance, and then go in again.
When they were almost at the bottom of the cliff, they threw down a thick stack of cotton quilts.
Make sure it lands on the blanket from a height of two or three meters.
Of course, this is an ideal situation.
If you do fall, you'll have to be extremely precise in timing your entry and exit from the space each time.
Thinking of this, she turned back to check again.
Only after making sure Qin Lang's rope was still securely tied around his waist did they continue forward.
If it weren't for the footprints that kept appearing ahead, she would have turned back immediately.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a figure.
At the end of the path, two soldiers were lying on the ground. They were overjoyed to see them.
"Help! Please help us!"
When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang ran over, they saw two soldiers, one of whom was tightly gripping the trunk of a small tree in front of him.
The other person clung tightly to a protruding rock in front of him.
Five people were falling from the cliff behind them.
The ropes connecting the five people were pulled taut.
The five men looked terrified and dared not move.
They were afraid that if anyone shook the place, the two people above would lose their footing and fall off the cliff, turning into a bloody pulp.
Ignoring the shouts of the others, Lu Qingqing looked around and her gaze fell on a large tree not far away.
She untied the ropes binding her body and tied them to the ropes in front of the soldier.
After making sure the rope was tied securely, they tied the other end of the rope to the big tree.
She tied six knots in a row before running back to Qin Lang's side.
They each grabbed one of the soldiers' arms, one on each side.
Even though Qin Lang was very strong, the two of them had to use all their strength to pull the rope up a little bit.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang continued to pull on the rope, and the soldiers at the front finally stood up.
He grabbed the rope and pulled with the other two.
Gradually, the second person also went from lying on one side of the cliff to climbing up completely.
The moment he was freed, he ignored his numb body and stood up to grab the rope.
He leaned back, like in a tug-of-war, pulling backward along with Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing.
With the help of these two people, Lu Qingqing could clearly feel that things were much easier than before.
Before long, the third person was slowly pulled up.
Then came the fourth, and then the fourth and fifth.
The further they pulled, the easier it became. Soon, all seven people were pulled up.
The last white pine to come up was already exhausted.
He plopped down on the snow, panting heavily.
Bai Xu and the others nearby had the same reaction.
It took them a while to recover.
Bai Song walked up to Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, intending to put his arm around them.
He didn't care after Qin Lang deliberately blocked him from touching Lu Qingqing.
"Brother Lu, Brother Qin, you saved our lives."
My brothers and I will always remember your kindness!
Before he finished speaking, the others also stood up.
Following Bai Song's gesture, they bowed to the two of them.
After getting up, Bai Song wanted to pat Qin Lang on the shoulder, but found that he needed to stand on tiptoe to reach it.
Feeling that it would affect his image as the eldest brother, he quietly gave up.
The next best thing was to pat Qin Lang's arm.
"Brother, from now on, we're family."
If the older brother gets a bite of meat, you guys get a sip of soup.
From now on, we brothers will share both good times and bad!
Bai Song finished speaking, still feeling somewhat regretful.
"Speaking of which, this wretched place doesn't even have a pot of wine."
I wanted to become sworn brothers with you, but I couldn't.
However, we brothers are not people who are bound by formalities.
We recognize each other in our hearts, and that's enough.
"We can hold a ceremony later when we get back!"
Lu Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable looking at Bai Song, whose attitude had obviously become warmer.
However, this did not conflict with their initial plan.
As the group walked out, Lu Qingqing could clearly sense it.
The attitudes of these officers and soldiers have also improved considerably.
Even Yan Xu, who had always had a cold expression, spoke more warmly.
The group carefully made their way through the narrow path near the cliff, and once they were out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Song spat on the ground and cursed:
"I was completely blinded by lard just now!"
Just for a worthless rabbit, we almost lost our lives!
Tell me, this road is so dangerous.
When I ran over there before, I didn't feel scared at all, which is really strange!
"Alright, alright, this place is a bit strange, we'd better stay away from it!"
With that, he called to Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, and they fled as if they were escaping.
