Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Chapter 374 Entering the Mountain (1)

On the same day, everyone bought all the necessary supplies. Early the next morning, the special operations team gathered on the small playground next to the accommodation area, each carrying a large backpack.

In addition to their own clothes and toiletries, everyone's backpack is filled with some supplies that the team will need, some are tents, some are dry food, some are pots and pans, and so on.

Feng Wuya's backpack was particularly large because it contained a large tent. Even when it was folded up, it still took up quite a bit of space. As the deputy captain, Feng Wuya set an example by taking the initiative to bring the large tent with him.

The backpack behind Lido was not light either, and it contained tools for drawing maps.

However, everyone has been nurtured by the elves many times, and they are all strong and healthy. The weight of the backpack is nothing and does not affect everyone's movements.

As usual, everyone rode to the junction of section 7 and section 8 of the city wall, found the guard team members there, and asked them to help lower the last member down from the wall. The special operations team took care of the rest on their own.

There is a high probability that Liduo and the others will be here when they return, but the team standing guard here by then may not be the same one as it is now, so it is difficult to arrange for the pick-up. Forget it, we'll talk about it when the time comes.

The lookout tower was some distance away from the entry point chosen by Lido and the others, so they had to walk along the city wall from the buffer zone first.

Although the large-scale monster invasion has passed, there are always sporadic monsters coming out of the mountains at night. The night patrol team may not be able to kill them all. When Lido and her friends encounter them, they just kill them, open their heads to see if there are any small psychic stones, and then leave them alone. The rest will naturally be found by the patrol team.

Soon Lido and the others arrived at their destination. The monsters here exited the mountain through a valley, and the traces of monsters' footprints were very obvious. Not to mention the monsters' footprints, it was obvious just by looking at the ground where there was almost no grass and which emitted a faint unpleasant smell.

It’s not difficult at all. Just trace back along this route and you will definitely find the monster’s lair!

However, the purpose of Lido and others is not only to find the monster's lair, but to draw a relatively complete topographic map of the vicinity. Naturally, they need to find a high place to have a panoramic view of the surrounding terrain.

As for the data that need to be measured, such as distance, direction, height, etc., they can only rely on Liduo's eyesight.

Fortunately, with many years of experience in mental detection, although Lido's eyesight is not as accurate as my eyes are like a ruler, it is almost the same, which is enough for drawing maps.

The col where the monster's exit is located is actually a valley mouth sandwiched between two peaks. Walk a few hundred meters in and you can see the saddle where the two mountains are connected above. There is a steep slope from the pass to the foot of the mountain, with rugged rocks on both sides. The passage in the middle is not large, and there are quite a lot of gravel on the ground. It is not easy for people to walk on it and climb up.

The monsters basically charged down directly from the narrow pass above. It was inevitable that some of them would lose their footing, step on empty air, and roll down, getting trampled and killed on the spot by the monsters rushing down from behind.

So if you only felt vaguely uncomfortable when you walked through that section of the mountain, then when you get here, the discomfort is very obvious!

It goes without saying that many monsters died on this steep slope and at the foot of the mountain, so the nearby land has been polluted to a considerable extent. Lido and the others can also see a lot of monster remains mixed in the rubble on the ground.

We can't go here anymore, we have to go around the hill next to us. Liduo can bear it, but others can't.

But even though this monster passage is barren and the vegetation nearby is sparse, the two mountains next to it are covered with lush vegetation, but the mountains are high and steep and there are no roads!

It is said that there are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road. If no one comes here, there is naturally no road. And because monsters often appear nearby, there is not even a beast path!

The vegetation here is basically tall coniferous trees with some short shrubs growing under them, and many vines are entwined on the shrubs. There are also many thatches and other herbaceous plants growing in the gaps, and all kinds of strange shapes and sizes of rocks are scattered among them.

In order to save the elves' energy, the special operations team naturally had to clear the way themselves.

Liduo and her friends found a direction that was not interrupted by the cliff and looked like they could go straight to the top of the mountain. They cut through the thorns and finally reached the top before noon.

The top of the mountain that Lido and the others climbed to was not the highest point of the mountain, but it was the tail end. It was relatively flat, and the trees growing there were much sparser and not as tall as those below. There were also many rocks, so a little of the ground was exposed.

Looking around from here, you can see the city wall not far away, and you can also see the plain area inside the city wall from afar. The mountain opposite is about the same height as the one under Lido and the others' feet, and the vegetation is very similar.

Looking into the Hengduan Mountains from here, you can see that the back of the mountain is not very deep. Just about twenty or thirty meters down is a relatively open and flat land, still covered with forest vegetation. Then about five or six kilometers in, there is another higher mountain. This flat land is equivalent to the plain at the foot of that mountain.

If it were on the Blue Star, this plain would definitely be reclaimed to form a village in the mountains.

But here, we can only let the land grow freely.

The location here can be used as the first node for drawing the map. Of course, Lido will not only draw the terrain within the range that she can see in front of her, but Lido cannot use her mental power to detect the terrain in the distance and then draw it directly on the map. After all, this has to be done under everyone's eyes, so everything must be clear.

So Lido asked everyone to cook, and she planned to walk about five kilometers along the ridgeline of the top of the mountain, memorize the surrounding terrain, and then come back here to draw a map.

The vegetation on the top of the mountain is relatively sparse, so the difficulty of opening up a road is greatly reduced. Lido basically only needs to walk through it once to see and remember the surrounding terrain, so she should be able to make it in time for dinner after a round trip.

The Huofeng and other five were very confident about Liduo's solo action. Only Shi Lei and his three companions and Yunxi who came later were a little worried about this. However, they were soon informed by the Huofeng and other five how abundant Liduo's martial virtue was.

Lido also looked at the surrounding environment. This place was high above the ground, it was broad daylight, and she did not see any flying monsters nearby. Lido felt that the safety was still very high, and she did not need to worry about any accidents happening to them here, so the group split into two groups.
