Chapter 43 Hunting in the depths of Daqing Mountain (1)

The next day, Li Duo got up very early, much earlier than usual for training. There was no other way. She had to travel back and forth from the depths of Daqing Mountain and return home before the sun went down, so she had to set out early. Leisha and Shi Ze probably didn't sleep well the whole night. They were awakened by the small noise of Li Duo washing up, and they had to get up to cook for Li Duo.

Lido was no match for them, so she had to follow their wishes. So when she set out, she had a hearty breakfast, and her backpack was filled with a thick stack of pancakes, a full pot of warm water, and a few golden bell flowers in a bamboo box. Lido carefully put on her defensive equipment, carrying Ishizawa's broadsword on her back, a long knife in her hand, and even the cast iron knife she had used before, pinned to her waist, and then carried a huge backpack. The backpack was woven from a tough vine, and a thick layer of tung oil was applied to the inner wall and bottom of the backpack, so that it would not leak. In addition to food and drinking water, the backpack contained a few small bamboo baskets and small wooden barrels, as well as a few sacks, all of which were used to hold monster materials.

This backpack was already quite heavy, and Lido was much stronger than an average person, so she could easily carry it over the mountains and across the hills as if walking on flat ground. After packing everything up, Lido set off in the dim light, following the earnest instructions of Leisa and Ishizawa.

Lido quickly came to the entrance and exit of the thorn wall and the buffer zone. This place has always been a key patrol area for the patrol team, so it is normal to meet a few patrol members. However, Lido's appearance here at this time scared them so much that they almost blew the whistle. It was Lido's timely voice that prevented this mistake.

After hearing Liduo's voice, the patrol members were stunned for a long time. They looked at Liduo's figure carefully before they confirmed that it was a false alarm. But they were curious again. Where were they going so early in the morning? Liduo didn't want to reveal her purpose for the time being, so she vaguely said that she was going to a place inside Daqing Mountain to hunt some wild game for some money. The few people didn't doubt it after hearing it. In their cognition, this was reasonable. It not only reflected their recognition of Liduo's fighting ability, but also did not exceed the inherent concept of ordinary people not to face more than one monster alone. After saying "Be careful" to Liduo, the few people continued to patrol. It was not yet dawn and it was not time to change shifts.

Li Duo released her mental power after leaving the buffer zone. Now the maximum scanning range of Li Duo's mental power has reached 500 meters, and the accurate sensing distance has reached about 350 meters. Li Duo used her mental power to scan the area in front of her in a fan shape while walking. From three meters above the treetops to three meters underground, all of them were screened by her mental power. In this periphery, there were no other living things except small animals such as snakes, insects, rats, ants, and birds.

Lido carefully avoided the locations of those species that might be poisonous. When she encountered vines, thorns, bushes, etc. that blocked her path, she used the iron knife to cut through them and cleared a path. Now Lido held the unsheathed fine steel long sword in her left hand and the unsheathed iron sword in her right hand. The scabbard was still on her left waist. She had to cut through thorns along the way, so she used the iron knife to avoid damaging the blade of the fine steel long sword and to prevent the blade from being contaminated.

This was still the outskirts. Liduo was relatively familiar with this place. In this dense forest, Liduo did not need to hide her speed. It only took her more than an hour to get out of this area. It was already light at this time, but not yet bright. Liduo decided to stop here to recover her mental strength and wait until it was a little brighter before going inside.

The area ahead was completely unfamiliar to Lido. The forest was not only dangerous with poisonous snakes and insects, but also with poisonous plants. Lido didn't have a gas mask, so she might get poisoned by a beautiful flower. There were also poisonous thorns and miasma in the forest. It was still dark before daybreak, and the vision was severely obstructed. Relying on mental strength alone was not enough. She had to wait until the sky was bright and there was sunlight before she could see the situation ahead clearly.

Liduo found a relatively open flat ground, with no trees above to block the view. She first scanned the surroundings with the maximum scanning range, with herself as the center. She found no danger, and then used her mental power whip to kill all living things within a ten-meter range around her, including those on the trees and underground, from the mental level. It took a little effort. Liduo leaned against the backpack, put the broadsword under her body, and put the long knife in front of her legs, and then she dared to enter the state of meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Duo heard a pleasant bird song and woke up from her trance. Her mental strength had fully recovered. It was already bright, and the sun was casting beams of light through the forest. The forest was full of green, and the steam was like a fairyland. With the birds singing around, it felt like she was in a bird park. An unknown amount of time had passed. It was really inconvenient to be in the wild without a watch or other timekeeping tool.

Liduo stood up, put on her broadsword and backpack, held the long knife in her hand, slowed down, and walked into the depths of the dense forest, still using her mental power as a pioneer in scouting. There was no road in the forest, and it was all up to Liduo to open the way. Although this slowed down the progress, the traces left behind were also very obvious. There was no possibility of recovery within a day or two, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find the way back. Moreover, the road she came from was a less dangerous route that Liduo chose after using her mental power to explore, so the speed on the return trip was definitely not much faster.

Soon, Liduo left the outer area of ​​Daqing Mountain and entered the inner area of ​​Daqing Mountain. Her mental power had scanned medium and large animals more than once, including herbivores, carnivores, and scavengers. She also found a small wolf pack a little closer to the inside. They were all ordinary wild beasts, not magical beasts or monsters. It was easy for Liduo to hunt them, but unfortunately they were not her target.

Along the way, Lido also found a small snake cave in the cave, and also found a super large spider nest. The spider web covered an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, and there were tens of thousands of spiders of all sizes in it. In short, when Lido used her mental power to scan these two places, she got goose bumps all over the floor, and her trypophobia was about to come on. She took a detour to avoid these two dangerous places.

In addition, Lido also found several dangerous plants, mainly because their characteristics were too obvious. Some of them had a big honey belly like the pitcher plant, and exuded a sweet smell; some looked ferocious like the Rafflesia; some flowers were beautiful but there were corpses of various insects scattered around; the oldest one was a vine, which looked normal. The green vine climbed on a huge rock, and there were some red and yellow berries as big as soybeans growing sparsely on it. Isn't it ordinary? If Lido hadn't seen a little bird peck at the berries and was strangled by the vine branches and sent to the roots, Lido wouldn't have believed it! Is this a magical plant? If Lido didn't lack knowledge in this area and didn't know how to deal with it, otherwise there would be the first harvest in the backpack. But Lido remembered this place.

As for other poisonous plants, Lido was very careful not to touch any plant directly with her skin. When she used the iron knife to clear the way, she did not let the juice touch any part of her body. She immediately retreated when she smelled an unpleasant smell and used her mental thread to expel all abnormal particles. Lido did not know which plants were poisonous or harmful to the body. With such a set of precautions, Lido's physical condition remained very good.

In this way, Lido continued to go deeper. When the sun was already high in the sky and it was almost noon, Lido made a new discovery.
