Chapter 653 The exploration begins(2/2)
Looking ahead, the depths of Lidu Valley are full of dense woods mixed with waterfalls falling from the sky and rivers formed at the bottom of the valley.
Here the two did not find the large number of mushrooms mentioned in the headquarters mission.
No, not to mention mushrooms, they didn't even see a few ordinary creatures.
The surroundings were quiet and a bit scary.
The evening wind blew by, and the trees in front made a rustling sound. Coupled with the silence of the night, the entire forest suddenly became eerie.
It should be an area full of life, but at this moment, it actually gave the two of them an inexplicable feeling of emptiness.
"It's better to be careful."
Bai Qiyun stood in front of the girl, holding a spear to clear the way.
Because of the ease of the rapid descent, he could still carry standard weapons in his hands, but Nina's hands were empty now, and her weapons were thrown above Lidu Valley.
Now all she has on her body is an emergency knife.
Fortunately, her physical strength is very domineering, so her combat effectiveness should not be reduced too much.
Because Nina who was following behind him had no elemental power, Bai Qiyun began to unscrupulously open his elemental vision to search for traces of the enemy.
At the edge of the forest, he found some traces of the movement of mushrooms, but they were all moving towards the forest and there were no signs of expansion outside the valley.
However, due to the natural height difference from the valley itself, even if the mushrooms wanted to move out of the forest, it would be difficult for them to climb up the hillside and invade the city at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters.
But everything can be unexpected.
Wind-attributed mushroom beasts can float to high altitudes. If such monsters swarmed into Sumeru City in groups, it would be a troublesome matter.
Bai Qiyun tensed up, implying that Yandora in the backpack could take action at any time once she sensed a danger that he couldn't handle.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone around."
Nina looked around stiffly, not finding any trace of other guards.
Although Lidu Valley is very big, there are also a lot of people in the fifth brigade. There are thousands of people in total. Why don't I see any of them now?
"Maybe we need to find another way into the valley. After all, not everyone has the courage to come down from the vines."
"Huh? Is there another way?"
Hearing this, Nina felt surprised.
If I had known earlier, she wouldn't have forced herself to come down with Bai Qiyun. It was really unlucky.
"There should be, but it would require a long detour, which would easily waste a lot of time."
In fact, what Bai Qiyun said was an understatement.
If you want to take a detour from Xumi City and leave the depths of the Du Valley, you can either take a detour to the city wall and slowly go down the hillside in the distance.
Either start from the east gate of Xumi City, take the mountain road to find a slightly gentle hillside, and then walk through the forest from the other end of the Lidu Valley to this side.
But after all, you have to enter a valley, so you have to land at a high altitude. The difference is only a few hundred meters and a thousand meters.
Anyway, it makes no difference to Bai Qiyun.
"Hmm... But if you put it this way, then people should gather on the other side of the forest. We don't want to see anyone before we cross the forest."
Because of the terrain, Bai Qiyun and the two were located just below the waterfall, a sparsely populated place without any circuitous mountain roads.
So those people in their right mind would not choose to land here.
"ha..."
Nina couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and didn't know what to say.
Although it is getting late, the time for the task is very tight.
It is almost impossible to clear such a huge ancient forest in two and a half days.
Therefore, Bai Qiyun could only risk the danger and break into this forest in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, he still has Nina to keep him company, so he is not really alone.
Although he didn't expect Nina to be of much use.
Along the edge of the forest, the two of them moved forward cautiously.
As soon as they entered the forest, a rustling sound rang in their ears.
The leaves of the bushes on the ground brushed against the two people's tightly covered thighs. The crisp touch and the moist air made Bai Qiyun feel like he was in a secret realm.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen much of the secret realm in Xumi, but he has seen it in Liyue and Mondstadt.
It’s not like Xumi’s secret realms are all hidden in the forest. That would be such a headache.
When he thought that he might accidentally enter the secret realm next, Bai Qiyun had an urge to directly ask Yandola to appear.
He knew very well how big the danger was in the secret realm.
But reason suppressed his impulse and calmed his gradually turbulent heart.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the edge of Bai Qiyun's vision.
His eyes didn't even capture the other person's figure.
Fortunately, with the elemental vision, the opponent left a purple trace on the ground, which was proof of the power of the thunder element.
"Just...did something pass just now?"
Nina's voice behind him suddenly trembled, and a pair of not-so-wide hands pinched Bai Qiyun's arm, looking very scared, leaving Bai Qiyun speechless for a while.
"You guys, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Fear of ghosts and heights, two classic weaknesses of girls.
"Afraid of ghosts? I'm not!"
Hearing this, Ni Nai's voice suddenly rose an octave, and it seemed that the reaction was very intense.
But the more this happened, the more convinced Bai Qiyun became of his guess.
However, it was not a good thing for the girl to break her defense now, so Bai Qiyun suppressed the desire to complain in his heart.
"Don't worry, that was just a lightning-attributed mushroom beast, it just moved too fast."
Having said that, Bai Qiyun walked up and began to observe the traces left by the mushroom beast.
