Chapter 72 Mountain
If you walk along the riverbed, it is equivalent to walking in the woods. You can't walk far in a day. Moreover, the direction of the river is generally very tortuous. Walking along the river channel makes you easily lose your sense of direction in the woods.
You can ride a bicycle on the cement road, and the speed of progress is not comparable to walking in the woods.
Moreover, the cement road leads straight to the east and west, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
After all, rivers are formed naturally, while cement roads are artificial projects.
Although the two vans and the humans behind them are likely to be a huge threat, Lu Chao still wants to figure out the truth behind all this. Maybe if he finds the starting point of the two vans, he can find clues about why he and Yaya were hijacked here.
There are also bad things to walk on concrete roads.
That is too obvious and may become the target of the ambush.
If you get the "Armor Reinforcement Technique" as soon as possible and practice it, dark energy armor will be condensed from the body, at least you will not be instantly caught when you encounter an ambush.
Later, you can find a way to escape or find the place back.
It is conceivable that it is impossible to explore this world and find out the truth behind it, and completely avoid all risks. Being too cautious will sometimes miss the opportunity.
He could not give up the cement road and walk in the woods because he was worried about being ambushed. Moreover, even if he walked in the woods, he might inadvertently fall into a trap set by others, and he might also encounter ambush from shrubs or canopies.
In the end, Lu Chao decided to continue east along the cement road.
Lu Chao rode his bike on the road again, and brought Yaya, Xiao Hei, a large bag of dried fish, some common tools, and his umbrella crossbow.
...
Cycling.
Cycling.
The woods on both sides kept retreating.
After waking up from a coma, Xiao Hei grew up a lot more than before, weighing about 30 kilograms. Although Lu Chao's physical strength is different now, if Xiao Hei, who weighs 30 kilograms, can't stand it if he lay on his back again, and the bicycle may not be able to bear it.
However, Lu Chao no longer has to worry about this. Xiao Hei is extremely physically strong now and he no longer has to jump into the car and lie behind Lu Chao's back. He spreads his four hooves, which is much faster than Lu Chao's bicycle riding speed.
It even often ran into the woods by itself. Lu Chao didn't care about it and just continued to ride. When he thought of it, he would blew a few dog whistles, for a few minutes, or at most ten minutes, Xiao Hei would appear near the bicycle.
Sometimes I catch up from behind, and sometimes I wait on the cement road ahead.
Xiao Hei's hair became darker and darker, and he looked more and more like the strange beast black wolf that Lu Chao had seen before. However, it still did not have the faint black fog armor outside its body. I wonder if it was too young.
Or maybe it is just an ordinary black wolf, and even if it eats the crystal core of the black bear, it will not become a strange beast.
I don’t know if there will be any changes after it no longer falls asleep.
While riding, Lu Chao was still practicing "Body Forging Technique", deliberately pulling the "qi" in his and Yaya's bodies to circulate on his legs, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of his legs.
His physique is also slowly improving in this process of riding and practicing.
...
The woods on both sides of the road kept retreating, and set off in the morning until noon, and there were still only woods on both sides.
He never saw the river again, and Xiao Hei did not find a new place to stay.
Lu Chao hesitated a little.
Should you continue to go east along the cement road? Or should you return to the end point by the river as the original road?
If you go back, will you ride here again tomorrow?
The river has no water or fish for the time being. It is not very meaningful to go back to the original stronghold, so it is impossible for him to stay there all the time.
Let's continue moving forward. If there are still no new discoveries before three o'clock in the afternoon, just set up camp on the spot. Now he can cut wood with a pair of flesh fists, so he should be able to quickly build a simple camp.
After fighting with the Black Bear, Lu Chao spent most of half a month camping in the woods, and he had this experience.
After deciding, Lu Chao continued to ride on the cement road.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there was finally some change in front.
A mountain appeared, right in front of the cement road!
The mountain is not too high, maybe only a few hundred meters away. Although Lu Chao could see that mountain, he was not close to that mountain. After riding for more than half an hour, he felt that the mountain was still in its original place.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after two hours of riding, Lu Chao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The cement road was not affected by this mountain, but turned into a tunnel and passed through the mountain.
The tunnel is very long, and when you stand here and look at the exit opposite there is only a small light spot.
If the cement road is not very straight, it is difficult to see that spot of light.
"I thought there were only woods in this space and no other scenery!"
"It's great to have mountains!"
Lu Chao looked at the mountain in front of him and seemed very happy, just like he saw the river.
Moreover, there is another advantage of having a mountain, that is, tonight you can dig holes in the mountain and quickly build a camp.
It's getting late, and it will be dark in two or three hours.
Lu Chao decided to settle down first and continue to explore the top or the other side of the mountain tomorrow.
Now he has no way to go back, so he can only continue to move forward.
He didn't know what he would find when he continued to go east, nor did he know what he was looking for.
Anyway, it's better than staying in one place until death.
Exploring more areas may lead to a deeper understanding of this space, at least you know why you came here, and even if you die, you will understand.
Lu Chao was lucky. After walking along the foot of the mountain into the woods for more than ten minutes, he quickly found a suitable place to settle down.
There is a rock on the top of a concave mountain, and there are two big trees in front of it. The canopy and the rock on the top are close together, so there is no problem with sheltering from wind and rain.
Now Lu Chao only needs to cut down some more trees and cover the two trees and the mountains to build a simple camp.
The requirements for living in the wild should not be too high, so as to ensure that the wild beasts cannot rush in directly at night.
If the beast forced himself to rush in, the movements made would definitely wake Lu Chao up. If this really happened, Lu Chao had practiced for so long and had the opportunity to try.
I hope that what comes here is not a group of wild beasts, nor is it a beast with a strength that is stronger than a black bear.
With Lu Chao's strength, the black bear that weakened last time was already his limit.
