Chapter 4247: Salt Lake

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

Step by step, tentatively moving forward.

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

The road beneath our feet became increasingly muddy and humid.

If you step on it, you might sink half of your foot into it.

"Are we in a swamp? Let's go quickly. If we're slow, we'll get stuck!"

Fighting in complex terrain was not difficult for the people of the Zhongwei Brigade and they were not unfamiliar with it.

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 looked at her.

"What's wrong."

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

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

"This place is really evil."

"In a place like this, we can't see the direction ahead at all. If we keep going like this, we will probably be exhausted to death," said Tao Cheng.

Since no one spoke, this kind of scene was something they had not expected.

In the foggy area, they were still enemies with creatures in nature, but now, their enemies seemed to have become the omnipotent nature.

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

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

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

"What extreme measures do you mean?"

"Cut down this tree."

"Cut down a tree?"

"This is an organic whole. Not to mention a tree, even a weed is part of this organic whole. If we cut down a tree, to some extent, we will destroy this organic whole, and perhaps we won't encounter so many obstacles."

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

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

Because no equipment can be relied upon now, I can only find a solution myself.

"Let's do it now."

The four men took out the daggers they carried with them. The tree was not very thick, about the same thickness as a child's waist.

The daggers in the four men's hands were extremely sharp, and coupled with their extraordinary strength, they quickly chopped down a tree.

As the trees fell, it was as if the internal balance was disturbed and the surroundings seemed less silent.

"Let's go and keep moving forward."

Lin Yi greeted and walked in front.

Among these four people, he has the best vision and can see the farthest, so it is natural that he should take the lead at this time.

Not knowing whether it was an illusion or some real changes had occurred, Lin Yi found that the visibility seemed to be higher.

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

"Come on, get on with your work and chop down this tree too."

The three of them didn't say anything else, and just chopped down the big tree next to them as they did before.

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

Even though it is a physical job, it is not very intense for an individual.

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

Lin Yi also discovered that visibility was indeed much better.

To some extent, my guess was correct.

As these trees were cut down, the internal balance was disrupted and the barrier to invaders became less strong.

We went deeper along the route we remembered, and in more than an hour we had cut down more than a dozen trees.

For the four people, not only can they destroy the ecological balance inside the forest, but they can also use it as a mark, making it easier for them to walk back.

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

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

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

"I can 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 giant octopus monster in it. If nothing unexpected happens, we are likely to reach that salt lake."

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

Lin Yi nodded.

"He can come to a place like this all by himself, which is really amazing."

"His father is the leader of the Poker team. It would be strange if he is not strong." Tao Cheng said with a smile:

"Let's speed up a bit, at least we have made some new discoveries."

Everyone nodded and quickened their pace, but they still did not forget to cut down trees.

After walking for another twenty minutes, they found that the fog ahead had become much lighter. Not only Lin Yi, but even in the eyes of Ning Che and the other two, the environment ahead had become clearer.

Along with this, there is also a huge sound of water.

"Looking at the situation, it seems like there is a waterfall ahead." Qiuyu Qiu Yuluo said.

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

"Let's go."

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

The water rushed down from the top of the mountain, hitting the rock wall, creating white splashes.

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

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

After walking forward for more than ten meters, everyone squatted on the edge of the cliff, looked down, and saw splashes on the water.

But even so, the place still feels quiet, and the splashing white water does not make people feel at ease. Instead, they feel that such a place may be full of unknown dangers.

The strangest thing is that the surrounding trees have become much sparser.

From here, you can even see the sky above your head.

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

The trees here are thicker than those in other places. There are even some trees that are so big that two people cannot hug them together.

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

From a biological point of view, Lin Yi could understand it.

The trees here are not as lush, which means that the trees growing here can absorb more sunlight and are in better condition.

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

Even some of the sky above my head could be seen.

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

why?

Lin Yi kept asking himself this question in his heart, but he still couldn't find the answer.

In other words, Lin Yi didn't dare to think about the answer.
