Chapter 464 Flying Over the Daqingshan Mountains
Chapter 464 Flying Over the Daqingshan Mountains
Snow decided to go with them.
"But you only just got back a short while ago, why are you leaving so soon?"
Emerging from the giant gate, the group moved through the cave. Just before they left, Snow arrived at the last second, thinking he was there to see them off, but it turned out he was going to leave with them.
The key point is that Si Yi didn't stop him; he just pulled Snow aside, said a few words, and then let him leave.
If this were the Lingyu tribe, and Lezhi asked to do this, not only would the tribe chief Lechu not agree, but his good friends, Uncle Lezhong, Uncle Leshan, and even Lejing would probably take turns trying to persuade him to give up the idea.
That's great, is this one of the benefits of being an adult?
Unsure where the faint envy in Lezhi's eyes came from, Snow shrugged and answered casually.
"They're used to it, but this time they're a bit anxious, and they want to get the caravan up and running as soon as possible."
"Just you?" Didn't we agree to organize a team?
"I plan to visit the Dream Clan and the Valley Clan first. Our three clans have been neighbors for many years and have close ties, so it will be easier for new products to enter the market. In this way, I can come alone for the time being."
Lezhi roughly understood why Snow did this; he must have encountered some trouble while looking for someone.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."
I support you in spirit!
Since Snow's destination was the Valley Clan and the Dream Clan, their journey together would continue until they left the Great Green Mountains.
The advantage is that with Snow as his navigator, Lezhi doesn't need to go down to the ground every now and then to find his way. In Snow's own words, he could fly out of the Daqing Mountains with his eyes closed.
Only a local would dare to say something like that, and the key is that he can actually do it without any discounts.
Above the Daqing Mountains, Lezhi controlled two water bubbles like flying a kite, preventing them from straying too far. The jelly frog inside the water bubbles took to the air again, saying that the view was great, but the surroundings were too empty and not as interesting as a forest.
However, being able to overlook the mountain scenery from high above is a novel and interesting perspective, especially with friends by your side.
If Jelly Frog had a choice, it would still prefer to take another flight in the air, rather than be a miserable frog alone in the forest, unfamiliar with the place and having to wander around for ages just to find a direction.
Wings are the best aid for travelers, and with the help of favorable weather, they had all the advantages of timing, location, and people, making their departure from the Daqing Mountains exceptionally smooth. In less than three days, the edge of the forest was already in sight.
We've arrived at the Blazing Plains.
"Alright, that's all I can take you this far. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourselves."
Perhaps because he often faced partings, Snow didn't resort to any sentimentality when he said goodbye; his tone was as calm as if he were asking if he had eaten today.
"I understand. What about you? What are you going to do next?" In this atmosphere of parting, Yuezhi dared to speak up and took the initiative to ask.
"I've already thought of a shortcut. We can go straight through there and enter the territory of the Dream Clan very quickly. By then, I might have already sold all my goods, and you might not even have left the Flaming Sun Plains yet. You should worry about yourselves!"
These words, though seemingly provocative, were actually a reminder. Snow had told them a lot about the Fiery Plains these past few days, and his words were filled with concern.
The reason for this is that the Sunlit Plains are the largest plain in terms of area and the smallest in terms of vegetation coverage that Jormungand currently knows of.
At first, Lezhi wondered if there was some problem with the land, but once he arrived, the answer was right in front of him.
—Desert landscape, no wonder.
Yes, the so-called Yanyang Plain is actually a vast, boundless desert.
The place where they were standing was the area with the most vegetation in sight. This was because it bordered the Daqing Mountains and belonged to the Yanyang Plain. In any case, Lezhi did not see any greenery at the moment.
But Snow assured everyone, "There are plants in the plains, quite a lot, just scattered. I've walked through them."
This is the key point that Snow's colleagues have been emphasizing these past two days: to mark the locations of the various oases in the Sun Plain.
As long as Lezhi follows the route he gave, he can find an oasis to rest and resupply every day if all goes well. After all, camping in a place with no cover increases the danger exponentially.
Lezhi, who had initially taken it lightly, decided to memorize the route map Snow had given him the moment he saw the true face of the Yanyang Plain. If it was real, it would be incredibly useful.
It was a lifesaver, especially for jelly frogs and leaf beetles.
Because of this, it's normal that Lezhi lacked confidence when replying, "I understand, don't worry, I've remembered everything you said!"
After a few playful taps on the head and some lighthearted banter, the real farewell began.
"Take care of yourself."
"You too, we'll see each other again soon, so don't miss me too much. If you really miss me, just contact me, I'm always online."
Before leaving, Snow mustered his courage and revealed a bit of his mischievous nature. Knowing that his words could easily be misinterpreted, he took the lead in retreating and walking away.
By the time Lei Xiu realized what was happening, it was too late to catch up, so he could only keep firing warning shots at him.
…………
After parting ways with Snow, Lezhi and Lei Xiu did not delay and immediately entered the Blazing Sun Plain.
According to the route map, they need to travel continuously in the correct direction for at least eight days to reach the first oasis. Time is running out, and if they want to arrive before dark, they must set off immediately and without stopping.
With Lei Xiu around, even though he knew Le Zhi didn't know the way, Snow wasn't worried that they would get lost. He didn't know that Le Zhi had also awakened the talent to communicate with the earth.
The two sides officially parted ways, each pursuing their own goals, and then awaiting their next reunion.
After flying for three hours straight on the scorching plains, Lezhi's most immediate feeling was—heat.
It's currently mid-month in Cangling, a time when the normal perceived temperature should be the most comfortable, but on the Yanyang Plain, that doesn't apply at all.
Without vegetation to regulate the temperature, the gentle warmth of the sun overhead gradually turns menacing, and every sudden gust of wind becomes an accomplice.
Having finally made their way to the end, only his own people remained. Lezhi had originally planned to summon a whirlwind to cheat, but reality taught him a lesson.
"Pfft...Ptooey..."
Turning his back, he spat out the sand that had gotten into his mouth and hurriedly waved away the swirling sand that was causing trouble. Rakuchi then announced that he was giving up completely.
The Storm brand high-speed train won't work here; let's just stick to our original route.
Having witnessed the entire Waterloo of Lezhi, and after shielding Lezhi from most of the sandstorm with his body, Lei Xiu comforted him, saying, "It's alright, we can fly on our own, it won't delay us too much."
"This is the only way." Who would have thought that after finally finding an opportunity to cheat, they would be restricted by the terrain? It's unbelievable.
You figured they had to take a step-by-step approach, right?
Lezhi was indignant, but if it were just the two of them, he wouldn't be so frustrated. He was mainly worried about Jelly Frog.
From the moment it chooses to take the jelly frog away from its habitat, it takes responsibility for itself.
Crossing the Firephosphorus Canyon was already a challenge, and now they have to cross the even more difficult Sun Plains with them. Although they have water bubbles to protect them, it is still a big challenge for the Jelly Frog.
Originally, Lezhi wanted Fengjuan to help him travel and shorten his stay in the Yanyang Plain as much as possible, but unexpectedly, Fengjuan did come as invited, along with a sandstorm that raged all over the sky.
The scene was so spectacular that even though Lezhi had withdrawn his hand quickly enough, he was still covered in sand and dust.
The sky was covered, it felt like the end of the world!
It's all their own fault, who can they complain to?
