Chapter 4247: Salt Lake

The dark shadows of the surrounding trees did not affect the four of them.

Step by step, tentatively moving forward.

But as they walked, the four of them discovered something was wrong.

The pavement underfoot is getting muddier and more humid.

If you step on it, half your foot may sink in.

"Are we in a swamp? Let's go quickly. If you are slow, you will easily fall into it!"

Fighting on complex terrain is not too difficult for the people of the Zhongwei Brigade and is not unfamiliar.

The four of them sped up and rushed forward.

Gradually, the ground beneath their feet became hard, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Depend on!"

Ning Che suddenly cursed, and the other three people looked at her.

"What's wrong."

"Look at this tree, this is the mark I left just now. After running around in a circle, we circle back again."

Hearing this, the three of them looked over and saw the mark left by Ning Che.

"This place is really evil."

"You can't see the direction ahead at all in a place like this. If we continue like this, we are likely to be killed." Tao Cheng said.

Since no one spoke anymore, such a scene was unexpected for them.

In the foggy area, he was still his enemy against the creatures of nature, but now, his enemy seems to have become the omnipotent nature.

Faced with such a situation, no one has absolute confidence.

"In this case, we can only adopt some extreme measures."

Lin Yi's words attracted the attention of the three people, and Ning Che asked:

"What extreme method are you talking about?"

"Cut this tree down."

"Cut down a tree?"

"Now this is an organic whole, let alone a tree. Maybe a weed is part of this organic whole. If we cut down a tree, to a certain extent, it will destroy this organic whole." Overall, maybe we won’t encounter so many obstacles.”

After listening, the three of them understood what Lin Yi meant.

Although this approach has no basis, it is indeed the only feasible way now.

Because now we cannot rely on any equipment, so we have to find a way on our own.

"Do it now."

The four people took out the daggers they carried with them. The tree was not too thick, almost as big as a child's waist.

The daggers in the hands of the four were exceptionally sharp, and coupled with their extraordinary strength, they quickly cut down a tree.

As the trees fall, it's as if the internal balance is broken, and the surrounding environment seems less silent.

"Let's move on."

Lin Yi greeted and then walked at the front.

Among the four people, he has the best vision and can see the farthest, so he naturally has to do his part at this time.

Whether it was an illusion or a slight change, Lin Yi found that the visibility seemed to be higher.

After walking for a while, Lin Yi stopped and patted a tree next to him.

"Come on, keep working and chop down this tree too."

The three of them didn't say much else, just like before, they chopped down the big tree next to them.

In this way, a tree must be cut down every few dozen meters.

Even though it is physically strenuous work, it is not very intense for individuals.

In this way, more than a dozen trees were cut down in a row without getting lost.

Lin Yi also found that the visibility was indeed much better.

To some extent, my guess was correct.

As these trees are chopped down, the internal balance is destroyed, and the barrier to intruders is no longer so strong.

Following the route in memory, more than an hour passed and more than a dozen trees were cut down.

For the four of them, it not only destroys the ecological balance within the forest, but also uses it as a mark to make it easier to walk back.

After searching for more than half an hour, I could clearly feel that the air was more humid than before.

The change in the environment made the four of them alert and subconsciously slowed down their pace.

"Have you noticed that there is a salty smell in the air?" Ning Che said.

"I did smell it." Qiu Yuluo nodded in agreement.

"My dad said that when he came to my place before, he encountered a salt lake with a huge octopus monster inside. If nothing else happens, we are likely to reach that salt lake."

"I heard you say before that your father seems to have come here alone, right?" Ning Che said.

Lin Yi nodded.

"He was able to come to a place like this on his own, which is really strong."

"His dad is the leader of poker. It would be weird if he wasn't strong." Tao Cheng said with a smile:

"Let's speed up a little bit. At least we've made a new discovery."

Everyone nodded and moved faster, but still did not forget to cut down the tree.

After walking for another twenty minutes, I found that the fog ahead had become much lighter. Not only Lin Yi, but also the environment ahead became clearer in the eyes of Ning Che and the others.

It was accompanied by a huge sound of water.

"Looking at this posture, there seems to be a waterfall ahead." Qiu Yu Qiu Yuluo said.

"In the first half of the journey, we also saw a deep pool under the waterfall. Maybe the situation is the same in front. The salt lake is likely to be ahead."

"Let's go."

After walking for a while, the view ahead suddenly became wider.

The water flowed down from the top of the mountain and hit the rock wall, causing white water splashes.

Finally, he fell into a pool of water more than ten meters deep.

"There are white crystals on the rock wall, which means that the oxygen content in the water is extremely high. If nothing unexpected happens, the pool below may be a salt lake."

After walking forward for more than ten meters, everyone squatted on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The water surface was splashing.

But even so, the feeling here is still quiet. The splashing white water did not make people feel at ease. Instead, they felt that such a place might be full of unknown dangers.

The most bizarre thing is that the trees around have become much sparser.

Here, you can even see the sky above your head.

It was at this time that Lin Yi discovered that there was another scene here that was different from other places.

The trees here are thicker than those in other places, and there are even some trees that two people can't hug together.

The biggest difference is that the trunks of these trees are almost straight.

From a biological point of view, Lin Yi can understand.

The trees here are not so lush, which leads to the trees growing here being able to absorb more sunlight and be in better condition.

But the real question is, why is there such a big difference between here and other places on the same mountain?

Even the sky above can be seen.

Under such conditions, the theory of unobservability does not seem to hold true?

Why?

Lin Yi repeatedly asked himself this question in his heart, but he never found the answer.

Or rather, Lin Yi did not dare to think about the answer.
