Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Chapter 378 Entering the Mountain (5)

Facts have proved that Feng Wuya and Shi Lei are still inexperienced. After all, they are both from summoner families, and their families can be considered upper-middle class in Qingyan City.

With their qualifications, they were highly anticipated in the family. They were provided with all necessary resources and protection measures. Their training before adulthood was either provided by the family's own mercenary team or hired mercenary groups from outside. Jobs like night watch had never been their turn.

Tonight is the first time for the two of them to keep vigil in the true sense, so it is inevitable that they feel a little nervous.

If it was Lido who was on guard, she would have been able to tell that the noise in the forest was just two nocturnal lynxes and a night owl attracted by the fire, and their arrival startled herbivores such as hares and goats that were foraging nearby, causing them to flee in all directions, making the noise.

The burning bonfire in the camp alone is enough to prevent ordinary wild beasts from acting rashly.

What's more, there is an elf by the side of both of them. Although the elf's energy is restrained and the pressure is not strong, the summoner may not be able to feel it, but wild animals are much more sensitive in this regard. After feeling the pressure of the elf, they will usually choose to leave when they know they cannot win. Except for those with a mental illness, only social animals like wolves would have the idea of ​​confronting a tough opponent.

Apart from these, the only animals that are not afraid of the pressure from the elves' energy are naturally the Warcraft, but animals that are really capable of attacking the camp usually don't make much noise.

Therefore, when they heard the noise, the two of them really didn't need to be so nervous, and there was no need to be fully alert and stare at the direction where the noise came from. Instead, they should pay more attention to the direction where no sound was coming from.

Fortunately, this was just a false alarm, and there was nothing in the surrounding mountains and forests that could threaten the camp.

The lynx couple climbed up the tree, stared at the camp from afar for a long time, and then came down the tree to continue their hunting work. They also had a litter of kittens waiting to be fed.

The night owl stood on the treetop and looked at the camp for a long time. Finally, it flapped its wings and flew into the woods to continue its mission of catching mice.

The forest became quiet. Feng Wuya and Shi Lei looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back by the fire, continuing to stare at their surroundings. However, once they relaxed after the tension, their attention was inevitably not as focused, and they gradually felt sleepy. They had to stand up from time to time to cheer themselves up.

In other words, this place is just the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains, which is about the same level of danger as the depths of the Daqing Mountains, or even slightly less dangerous. That's why nothing happened to the two of them this time.

Assuming that there really was something lurking behind the scenes when Feng Wuya and Shi Lei focused their attention on the direction of the noise, then when they relaxed their minds would be the best opportunity to attack!

How could they escape unscathed when caught off guard?! This was due to their lack of experience and consideration.

Fortunately, the two of them were lucky. Just when they could no longer suppress their sleepiness, the time for the agreed night watch shift had arrived. Feng Wuya asked Shi Lei to go into the tent to wake up Wanshi and Hu Zhongyan to keep watch, while he himself would keep watch for a while.

Soon, Wanshi and Hu Zhongyan came out yawning, and Feng Wuya and Shi Lei went into the tent to rest.

Wanshi and Hu Zhongyan each took out a towel, poured some water from the kettle that had been warming by the fire, wiped their faces, and gulped down a few big gulps. Finally, they were fully awake.

Nothing came to disturb the camp in the second half of the night. We were lucky tonight. No monsters passed through the monster passage below, and even no devil bats passed by in the sky.

Liduo woke up when Shi Lei called Wanshi and the other man to get up, and then she kept an eye on the situation outside in the tent. However, the second half of the night was peaceful and nothing happened, so Liduo couldn't figure out anything, so she just went to meditate on her own.

The next morning, everyone was ready and set off again after the sun came out.

This time, after discussing with everyone, Lido decided to move forward quickly along the monster passage, and draw the map while taking breaks and eating. However, she could only draw about one-third of the map on the right. The remaining left half would be drawn when she returned over the top of the mountain and returned from the foot of the other side.

Even if there is no passage opened by monsters on the other side of the mountain, the difficulty of walking from the foot of the mountain and from the top of the mountain is a world of difference!

So this time everyone moved forward much faster. Although it was not a forced march and the road conditions were not very good, we still walked more than 20 kilometers in one morning, surpassing yesterday's progress in one fell swoop.

No one encountered any monsters on the way, and the large team of ten high-level summoners and elves did not encounter any blind monsters to cause trouble. It seems that now is the window period after the large-scale invasion of monsters, and the safety of taking the monster passage is much higher than usual.

After a quick meal and a rest, we had another 20 kilometers to walk in the afternoon, and the road ahead was becoming increasingly difficult to walk on.

The mountains on the left side of the monster passage became higher and higher, and on the right side a small river appeared, leading to an unknown destination. It was about six meters wide and one meter deep, with fast-flowing water and clear bottom.

Some fish, shrimps, crabs and so on can be vaguely seen, but they are all concentrated on the opposite bank. On the side close to the monster passage, even vegetation such as water plants and green moss is very scarce, let alone aquatic animals approaching.

Lido felt that this place was not too far from the monster's lair, but it would be a bit troublesome to spend the night there.

The mountains here are already quite steep, and the ground has changed from soil covered with vegetation to slippery stones covered with moss, with only some tenacious shrubs occasionally emerging from the cracks in the stones.

There was no suitable place to camp nearby, so Lido and the others had to either set up camp directly on the monster passage or camp on the other side of the stream.

Although it is convenient to set up camp directly on the monster passage, there is still a risk of running into monsters directly. It is better not to be lazy. Everyone unanimously decided to camp on the other side of the river.

Although if there really were monsters, this small river would not be able to stop the monsters from attacking the special operations team, but it could at least play a certain delaying role and give everyone enough time to react.

However, how to cross the river is another problem. There is no one to build a bridge for everyone in the uninhabited mountains, so everyone has to figure out everything on their own.

The width of more than six meters was just a matter of a light leap for Liduo, but for others who were carrying baskets and had no space to run, it was an insurmountable distance.

We still have to build the bridge manually. It would be easy if we had the Biyao elf. We could use the vine entanglement technique to directly generate a vine bridge connecting the two sides. Unfortunately, we might not see such a rare elf once in our lifetime.

So Lido had to take action again. Only she had the ability to quickly go up the mountain to cut down a few trees of the right length and size and enough vines to throw down.

Lido cut down five trees with a diameter of about 30 centimeters and a trunk length of more than seven meters and threw them onto the monster passage, then looked for vines and pulled them down directly.

Some people cut branches, some people tied them up, and finally they made a simple wooden bridge across the river bank. Although only one person could cross at a time, it allowed everyone to reach the other side of the river smoothly.
