Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

The group walked along the passage trampled by the monsters. Above them were dry branches that had lost all their leaves after being infected by dark magic elements. There was an eerie feeling even in the bright sunshine during the day.

The monster passage is not straight, it is crooked and has many forks, but the main passage still leads to the pass.

But even though the passage was winding, it saved Lido and her friends a lot of time. It took at least two-thirds less time than if they had to go in a straight line, so they quickly reached the foot of the higher mountain in the distance.

Lido and the others did not go to explore the situation in this plain.

One reason is that time does not allow it. Spending too much time along the way means that there will not be enough time to go deeper into the Hengduan Mountains later.

Secondly, the main purpose of the special operations team's reconnaissance mission is to find out the movements of monsters. When Lido climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down, the plain was lush and green, but the monster passage had added several gray-black scars to the green.

From this, it can be seen that there must be no lava cave in this plain, so there is no need to explore it, and we only need to reflect its existence on the map.

As for whether there is anything else living in the forests on the plains, it does not affect the overall situation.

Besides, this is only the outermost area of ​​the Hengduan Mountains, and there are no other remaining branches. Warcraft generally do not choose to establish their territory here. At most, there are some wild beasts living here, which will not pose any threat.

The size of the mountain behind the plain is not comparable to the two peaks in front. Its height is at least twice that of the previous two peaks. The length and width of the mountain are not known at the moment. We have to wait until Lido and the others reach the top to get a rough idea.

But according to the mountain shadows that Liduo and the others saw in the distance as they walked along the city wall, one end of the mountain extended all the way to the vicinity of Section 5 of the city wall.

As for the other end, it is connected with the mountain on the right in front, forming a relatively flat valley at the junction. The other end of the monster passage is this valley entrance, and Lido and the others are here now.

It was obvious that the monster ran out from a deeper monster lair, bypassed the tall and steep mountains, and rushed through the buffer zone between these mountains.

To be honest, it's a bit too difficult for everyone to climb up the second peak. By the time everyone has worked so hard to cut a path up, it will probably be dark, and it will be even more troublesome to come down by then.

So Lido decided to let the others stay at the entrance of the valley to rest for a while, and she would go to the top of the mountain alone.

Then Lido gave everyone a new shock because she demonstrated her posture of jumping forward between branches.

It is much faster to jump up directly through the branches than to cut a path under the tree and climb up step by step. Lido jumped towards the top of the mountain.

Feng Wuya and the others who were left behind began to look for a suitable place nearby to rest. Without Liduo's pressure, they could naturally stay in the monster passage as little time as possible.

This mountain is probably more than a thousand meters high. Please note that this height does not refer to the altitude but the height difference from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is actually quite high. You can't see the top of the mountain at all if you look up from the foot of the mountain.

Even though Lido came up by jumping between branches, she actually used the skills of Qinggong, and it still took her a lot of time.

There are very few trees at the top of the mountain, and weathered rocks are everywhere. Looking down from the top of the mountain, even in the afternoon you can still see the clouds looming on the mountainside.

In other words, this mountain does not have an obvious top. Although the section from the foot of the mountain to the highest point is not a cliff, it is also a very steep long slope. But at the highest point, it is a ridge that stretches for twenty to thirty kilometers with a not very obvious height fluctuation. The top is basically exposed weathered rock, but fortunately it is not the kind of sharp stone that makes it impossible for people to stand.

Compared with the previous two mountains, this mountain is not only much taller and longer, but also more than three times wider.

However, the terrain on this side facing the city wall has many similarities. Most of the areas below half the height are slopes of about 40 to 50 degrees, with red pine forests mixed with some other types of trees.

But it's basically all cliffs, with exposed blue-gray rocks on them, with some small shrubs and vines growing on them, all the way to the ridge above.

Liduo did not walk too far. She only walked about five kilometers and then used her mental power to detect. She only detected a place that was level with the end of the plain below and then stopped.

However, Lido discovered a deep pool at the foot of the mountain here. The long hillside was rarely interrupted here, forming a deep pool about a hundred meters higher than the foot of the mountain.

There is a cave on a cliff more than 100 meters high above the deep pool. Mountain spring gushes out from the cave and falls into the pool below, forming a shining white stream.

Although it is not as spectacular as a waterfall, the sound is no less impressive!

Lido noted the location of the pond. This is a feature that must be marked on the map and is a good landmark.

The terrain on the inner side of the mountain is similar to that on the outer side. Then at the foot of the mountain, there is no plain area to serve as a buffer, and two peaks rise directly.

One mountain was shorter, but still about a thousand meters high, and the tail of that mountain was roughly parallel to the first slope turn that Lido came up.

The tail of the other peak is almost perpendicular to this mountain, and then it makes a big turn to the left and slants inward. Its end is not visible as far as the eye can see. All we know is that its height is even higher than this one. It should be regarded as one of the branches of the main range of the Hengduan Mountains.

Based on what Lido observed, the monster passage should be advancing along the valley between the mountain below and the shorter mountain, and then continue inward along the foot of the branch mountain.

The topography of this mountain is really complicated. While Lido was thinking about how to draw the map later, she was sensing the direction of the mountain.

In the mountains, Lido also sensed the presence of magical beasts. Although their energy level was only that of primary magical beasts, it proved that the ecology nearby was still normal.

Two hours had passed when Liduo returned to reunite with Feng Wuya and the others. She then began to draw a map. The others watched Liduo draw and discussed the terrain shown on the map.

By the time Lido finished painting, the sun had already set, so Lido urged everyone to set off quickly. You know, the distance they had penetrated today was less than ten kilometers, which was not as good as those previous reconnaissance teams that made a round trip in one day.

Lido's prediction about the direction of the monster passage was correct. It indeed went all the way along the valley, turned at the intersection of three mountains, and moved along the foot of the branch mountain.

Liduo did not climb the short hill again, but led everyone to walk as far as they could before the sun set. After the sunlight was blocked by the mountain in front, they immediately stopped to look for a campsite for the night.
