When the sun sets, the temperature between the mountains also falls rapidly.

It's time to find a place to spend the night, thought lightning. The temperature difference at the top of the desperate situation is amazing. After crossing the sea of ​​clouds, the sunlight during the day is like roasting people. If it is not covered, the exposed skin will easily be sunburned. Once it is at night, the howling cold wind will quickly take away all the heat. If you still sleep on the treetops like when you are in a hidden forest, you will probably freeze and dry out the next day.

Therefore, a safe haven must be found before the night completely covers the earth.

"That's all for today," said Lightning, taking out the listening sign, "I'll go find a nest, you can bring some food back."

Maisie couldn't reply while flying, but she knew that the other party had heard her contact.

Then she lowered the altitude and entered the ground-flying state before setting off, Agesha repeatedly reminded her that when looking for devil trails, she either flew very high or walked close to the ground, and never changed the path at will. Otherwise, once she accidentally entered the area affected by the Divine Stone Mineral Veins, no one could save her.

Lightning strictly enforced this instruction. In the vast mountains, no one could help her any accidents. She had to take good care of herself and Maisie at the same time.

Since she had noticed possible hiding places during her search, she quickly found a cave half open on the hillside. The terrain here is like a stone forest, with tens of thousands of hills of equal height, densely packed together. Each hill is almost the size of a Wu Winter City. It will not be possible to take a look outside, but this place has a wonderful change, as if the top of the mountain was carved into this by a big hand.

The gap between the top of the mountain becomes a natural waterway. When encountering heavy rains, the mountain torrents will sweep down with a force of ten thousand pounds. More importantly, the climate change on the mountain is extremely violent. It may be clear here and there are already lightning and thunder. If inexperienced explorers choose to camp in the mountains for convenience, they will probably be washed away by a flood without warning in the middle of the night. Therefore, whether there is an ideal shelter or not, the place must be chosen at a high place.

She has witnessed similar situations several times since entering this mountainous area called the mainland spine.

In addition, the hills here are different from other places. Most of the time, the stone walls of the mountain peaks should be steep and sharp, but these hills are basically round, with even soft couches, covered with concave holes, as if they are not naturally formed rocks, but the appearance of some fluid solidified.

Fortunately, they still retain the hardness of the stones, enough to support a place to sit.

The cave this time was quite large, almost ten meters square, with some weeds and branches scattered inside, probably left by birds and beasts when they were nesting. After confirming that there was no potential danger, Lightning notified Maisie of the location and then packed up the temporary residence.

When the afterglow of the sunset was completely replaced by the night, Maisie, who turned into a snowy owl, returned to the cave. She shook her feathers and returned to human form, and raised the capsule on her chest like a gift, "Look, what I found!"

Lightning took the bag and took out a pheasant and four huge bird eggs from it. This is a rare harvest at the top of desperate situation. Even Maisie, who has rich hunting experience, may not be able to return with a full load every time.

“Beautiful job!”

Lightning touched her head, and changed to a proud smile from the other party, "Hehe."

The bonfire quickly rose. She used the mud deposited from the bottom of the mountain to form a stove to prevent the fire from being discovered. She then covered the mud on the pheasant that had been worn out, put the whole thing into the fire, and finally covered it with bird eggs.

Thirty minutes later, dinner was done.

The two of them have implemented this cooking technique many times in the hidden forest, and practice makes perfect.

The moment he knocked on the mud shell, a strong fragrance instantly poured into the nasal cavity of the two of them.

The oil leaching under the skin makes the chicken shine, and the spices filled in the stomach are completely stimulated when baking, and merge into the whole body along the swell of heat. After removing the soft skin, the remaining ones are tender and delicious delicacies. Unlike the finished product that is directly roasted with flames, there is no scorch on the whole chicken, and the meat is as white as new. When tearing it, you can see thin threads connected.

With steamed bird eggs, the two of them ate their mouths in a short while and they didn't even let go of the chicken bones.

"Hi," Maisie vented, "It's true that the food she caught is the most delicious."

This guy, when he first met, he was still strikingly accusing himself of "You actually want to eat a bird."

Lightning shook his head funny, "Have you discovered anything today? Apart from eating."

"Well, there is no Gu... the landform here is basically the same. If there are traces of devil's actions, I will definitely find Gu."

Sure enough, if the Divine Stone Mineral Veins were buried deep underground, it would be too difficult to find clues by relying on air reconnaissance alone. I don’t know where the Taqila’s support fleet is now. If they can give a general direction, even if the positioning is vague, it will be much better than blindly looking for it now.

Under the flash voltage, he pointed to the side of the cave and said, "Since that's the case, then go and be a bed for me!"

"Oh, understand Gu." Maisie dragged her white hair to her designated position and turned into a terrifying beast that was entrenched in groups.

The lightning extinguished the remaining fire and lay in her bend, which was limited by the size of the nest. The two of them were not the same. Compared to squeezing each other in a small sleeping bag, it was obviously more comfortable for Maisie to use the form of a terrifying beast to resist the cold wind. At least her belly was like a huge stove, enough to ensure that she would not be awakened by the cold at night.

However, this is not flawless. The skin of the terrifying beast is quite rough, and it can even be described as shaving. Lightning can't help but miss Luo Jia's fur.

"Are you still not sleeping?" Maisie turned her head and asked when she saw her take out the luminous magic stone.

"Well, I have to record today's route. It won't take long, so you go to bed first."

"Okay." Maisie said angrily. After a while, she suddenly muttered again, "You will continue to take me to explore in the future, right?"

Lightning was stunned for a moment, and then replied softly, "Of course."

After the ashes are gone, I will take on the responsibility of protecting you.

After hearing the answer, Maisie finally closed her eyes.

Lightning sat for a long time before taking out the notepad from his pocket.

Now it is the tenth day they entered the northern mountainous area of ​​Yongdong Kingdom, and the search distance has reached about 120 kilometers. The deeper they go to the top of the desperate situation, the more she can feel her insignificance. In this place where no one has ever been involved, she saw many indescribable spectacles that are as vast as fertile plains, ice waterfalls that hang straight into the sea from the northeast side, sea of ​​clouds rising like steps, and huge rift valleys located in the center of the mainland's spine... Compared to this area, the desperate mountain range that separates the four kingdoms is just a branch that spreads out. These scenery are hidden on the top of the mountain, and you cannot see it with your own eyes without crossing the cliff-like cliffs.

Lightning vaguely understood why my father was so addicted to adventure.

The world is too broad, and if you don’t look at it, people will never be trivial. Only through understanding can you become bigger.

Deciding to become an explorer was the most correct choice in her life.

Of course, you can do it later. Lightning did not forget that he still had a mission. If he flew too far from Yongdong, his search efficiency would not only make the support team worry. By time, the "Roland" should also arrive at Yongdong Harbour soon.

She glanced at the hand-drawn map a few times and set her eyes on the Great Rift Valley.

From a distance, it seemed like a raised platform in the stone forest, but the middle was hollow, and it was difficult to determine how deep it was.

Compared with the stone forest, which has little changes, at least the section under the surface of the rock can be seen.
