Chapter 31 Crossing No Man's Land
"The grass on the south side near tree stumps, tree trunks and large rocks grows taller and more lush. In autumn, the grass on the south side also withers and turns yellow more slowly?" "Yes,
this is caused by sunlight."
"The bark is generally smoother on the south side and rougher on the north side. This is most obvious for poplar trees?" "
That's right." "
Moss growing on stones likes moisture and is intolerant to sunlight, so moss usually only grows on the backlight of the stone. "
Yes."
"Due to the different lengths of sunlight, the stones on the mountain are the brightest on one side, followed by the two sides when the sun rises and sets, and the last side has almost no luster?" "You asked this question yesterday
? Passed!"
"Then let's talk about what you just said."
"Most of the ant nests in an area are built in one direction of the tree roots. In order to get more sunlight, one side of it is built gently, and the other side is flatter. Steep?"
"."
"Please spare me."
After two consecutive days of trekking in the wilderness, Ronald never expected that the conversation with Nessos would be the most draining of his energy.
For two whole days, the communication between them basically revolved around this model.
Nessus asked, and Ronald answered.
Due to Ronald's rich experience in solo activities before traveling through time, he has stored a large amount of valuable wilderness knowledge summarized by professionals in his mind, all of which was put to use this time.
Later, it even developed to the point where Ronald showed a momentary expression of thinking when facing a certain natural product.
Nessos would inevitably come over and ask questions.
Mr. Xingshang is extremely curious about this knowledge!
Of course, the two-day trek was not just a stage for Ronald to show off his knowledge.
In terms of food supply and combat, Nessos also showed his terrifying abilities.
Fish in the river, kill wild beasts with a knife, and climb quickly.
In any action involving physical coordination and quick reactions, he has shown a level that is not inferior to that of top athletes.
Initially it was for safety reasons.
When the two left the mansion, they did not take anything in the house that looked edible.
The result is in this case.
For two days, Ronald did not suffer any hunger.
Maintaining this level of hunting efficiency, Nessos still only has one arm that can move!
So to be fair -
Ronald believed that if it didn't rain, if he suddenly encountered an enemy of Nessos's level, he
would die.
In the end, there was no other possibility.
————
The evening of the next day.
The sun was already one-third of the way up in the sky. .
In another two hours at most, it will fall behind the mountain peaks instead of the horizon.
On the ground, he slashed the branches in front of him with his knife twice and three times. Nessos frowned and sniffed, then turned back to look at Ronald:
"Ronald, how far do you think we have gone?
" How far."
Thinking about the speed of travel in the past two days and the changes in the surrounding scenery, Ronald gave a relatively vague number: "The
straight-line distance to Montenegro is about 40 kilometers."
"."
Don't be too small. Look at these 40 kilometers!
Except for the first step out of the lifeless Black Mountain, the rest of their journey was covered in no man's land.
It takes two days to cover such a distance in an undeveloped area.
This is already a very amazing achievement!
The ability to achieve such excellent results was entirely based on Ronald's knowledge base and Nessos' strong physical strength.
For ordinary people to come to a place like this,
a two-day outdoor adventure would already be quite dangerous, even life-threatening.
"40 kilometers?"
Nessos, who was responsible for clearing the way in front, sounded a little confused at this moment.
"What about the train tracks?"
"The path I calculated should be like this. In theory, we should be there?" "
After all, it's a mountainous area." Ronald comforted, "You can find a higher position before the sun sets. I can Make sure that the distance we walk and the direction we move in are correct."
"Okay."
After about a hundred meters further, Nessos chatted while he was on the road:
"Hey, Ronald."
"Huh?"
"You Isn't it all made up?"
"What are you making up?"
"It's just things about survival in the wild and direction judgment." "
."
"I want to die in this forest so much that I do it. Are you talking nonsense about this kind of thing?"
He replied to Nassos angrily.
The moment I followed my companions, I sniffed the moist air in the forest.
Ronald inadvertently saw a very tall shadow on the side of his vision.
Looking through the gap in the canopy of trees above my head, it seems to be a very tall tree!
"Naissus, look over there!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Ronald's call, Nassus immediately looked over there.
Immediately, Xingshang's voice became excited:
"Good guy, let's go over and take a look!"
"Okay."
After passing through dozens of meters of woodland, Ronald and Nessos arrived at the target location.
What appeared in front of the two people was a huge tree.
Based on Ronald's analysis, this should be a tree type plant.
While the height exceeds 20 meters, its bottom diameter is even more than 2.5 meters.
A real behemoth!
At the same time, it is also the best viewing point for the two of them!
"I'll go up and take a look. You hold it for me first."
Seeing such a good natural lookout appearing in front of him, there was no reason for Nassos to let it go.
He took off his coat and handed the useless items to Ronald.
He simply climbed up to the top of the tree.
Seeing Nessus climbing up quickly, Ronald warned:
"Be careful, you only have one hand!"
Nessus replied quite confidently:
"For me, there are a lot of things I can do with one hand!"
The fact is just as what the merchant said.
Although only one arm could move, he still climbed up unimpeded with the help of the dagger in his hand and his excellent waist and leg strength.
The nimble movements are like a child swinging in the garden.
In less than a minute, Nessos, who came to the top of the giant tree, began to look around.
Where they are now is in the corner of the mountains with mountains on their backs. Although I couldn't notice it as I advanced on the ground, looking from this height, I could see that the trees in the distance were getting taller and taller.
It's obvious -
the deepest point in that direction is the large forest at the junction of the border between Greed and Entrod - the Yuez Forest.
In the same way, the tracks of the border train should run through it.
"Forest.Train track"
murmured the things he longed for in his mouth.
Finally, at the edge of the towering woods to the right, Nessos vaguely saw a gap in the canopy.
It's not obvious, but it's there.
In a place like this that no one cares about, the forest will not leave any room for growth.
Yes, that's right there.
This is where they will find it!
Looking down at his companions below, Nessus shouted loudly:
"Ronald!"
"I saw it, it's not that far away, we can get there before dark!"
