Invincible Witch Doctor King

Chapter 173
Zhao Tian walked in the front. At this time, he had already entered the mountain and was walking on the mountain road.He doesn't walk fast, but he walks very steadily. Anyone who is used to walking on mountain roads knows that he can't go too fast at this time, or he will get tired soon, and there will be many unknown dangers in the mountains. Walking slowly is not just about physical strength. It is an above-mentioned problem, and it is also the most important way to avoid danger.

The person walking in the front is actually like the leader of the cavalry, controlling the walking rhythm of the entire team, especially for the long distance that requires a few days to walk in the mountains, which is actually ten days, is often a matter of life and death.

Only the most experienced can do this well.

Zhao Tian is undoubtedly such a person. He decides the speed according to the conditions of the mountain road and the physical strength of the entire team. Sometimes it is faster, and sometimes it is slower. The team walked more smoothly.

No one talks, which is also very important in the mountains.

Going up the mountain is a very energy-consuming thing, and every minute of energy is very important, so no one will talk when it is not necessary.

Every two of the thirty or so people walked forward slowly with a distance of ten meters or so. Generally speaking, people do not walk together when walking in the mountains. Not a bunch of dead.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the temperature also began to rise. Zhao Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hands to let everyone stop and rest.

They were all veterans, and after seeing Zhao Tian's gestures, they understood what was going on, and they all sat down on the spot, smoking cigarettes and drinking water.

This rest is not too long, but it is very important for recovery.

Zhao Tian didn't rest. He simply drank a few sips of water and continued to move forward. This is what the "leader" has to do. When everyone is resting, he must determine the direction and see if he can adjust his route, etc. Wait.

Holding a machete in his hand, he split through the vines and small shrubs in front of him, and slowly climbed up. Because there are forests everywhere in the mountains, he had to climb to a high place to see the direction clearly. Now he Just looking for a place like this.

It took nearly half an hour to finally find a high rock. After climbing up, Zhao Tian began to look around.

The point of entering the mountain this time is different from the last time Di Fang entered the mountain. What Zhao Tian needs to determine now is the direction.

This is very difficult for ordinary people, and it is easy to get lost when surrounded by dense trees, but it is not a problem for experienced people, because this is the first thing to do when walking in the mountains Things—people who can’t do this should not go into the mountains. If they lose their way, they can easily throw their lives into the mountains.

Standing on a high place, Zhao Tian quickly determined the direction, but his face also sank, and a black cloud appeared in the sky, and it seemed that the distance from him was not too far, which meant that he would soon It's going to rain.

When it rains in the mountains, there is no way to say that there is a great chance, but this is not a pleasant thing after all, because after it rains, the mountains will be more humid, the soil is soft, it is difficult to walk, and there may be encounters Mudslides and the like, so the last thing you want to encounter in the woods is rainy weather.

Zhao Tian speeded up his descent and soon returned to the team.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, he found that the people on the side of the road were surrounded by relatively soft mud, and there were relatively rough slopes. Zhao Tian's face suddenly became even more ugly.

Such a place can become very dangerous once it rains.

"Go! Get up quickly, you have to go now!"

Zhao Tian shouted loudly.As soon as the people who were sitting on the ground and resting heard Zhao Tian yelling and saw his waving hands, they immediately stood up and followed immediately.

Although they didn't know what happened, it didn't prevent them from obeying Zhao Tian's words. This is a rule that has been formed in the mountains for thousands of years. The objection, simply put, is that Zhao Tian was given his life from the moment he entered the mountain.

At the moment, everyone followed Zhao Tian to quicken their pace.

Twenty minutes later, seeing that the surrounding terrain began to rise, Zhao Tiancai was slightly relieved.

"Stop and take a break."

Zhao Tian had already sniffed his nose, he could already smell the characteristic moisture in the forest before the heavy rain, and the sky began to darken slowly, knowing that the heavy rain would arrive soon.

It is not a good choice to continue walking in the heavy rain. The place is good at this time. The terrain is relatively high, but it does not protrude. There are many trees and shrubs around, but there are no tall trees. OK but:

Protruding and open places with big trees are easily struck by lightning, and lightning strikes will happen every time there is heavy rain in the mountains. This is not a joke but deadly.

At the same time, places with many trees and shrubs maintain good water and soil, and the slightly higher terrain can ensure that mudslides will not occur.

At this time, everyone already understood why Zhao Tian asked everyone to leave quickly, because if they stayed in the original place, they would be in big trouble now.

It rained almost in the blink of an eye, and it was very heavy, but at this time everyone had already put on waterproof raincloths, and they all found a place to squat.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Zhao Tian squatted like everyone else at the beginning, but he stood up after a while.

He grew up in the woods since he was a child, and now he can see that the rain will not stop for a short time, and it is normal for one to two hours.

In this way, whether the place we are staying in now is safe or not, we have to look again.

Zhao Tian called two people, and then inspected separately. The main thing was to confirm whether the surrounding terrain was dangerous, and more importantly, to see if there was any stagnant water, or whether the soil on the hillside had been cleared. It starts to loosen, and if it does, you have to leave immediately.

A group of two walked east, Zhao Tian told them to come back after walking 500 meters if there was no problem, and he went west alone.

"Snapped!"

The knife in Zhao Tian's hand slashed forward lightly. The heavy blade and the sharpened edge cut off the small tree as thick as a forearm.

After tearing off the broken branch, he walked forward slowly.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

After walking a few steps, Zhao Tian heard the sound of water, which made his face darken: Although the sound of water was not loud, and it was in the rain, he could hear it immediately with his excellent hearing. It is not the sound of the stream, but the sound of the accumulated water flowing after it rains.

This is not a good thing!
After walking a few meters further, Zhao Tian immediately saw water under a small bush not far away, and the amount of water was not small.

Looking up behind the bushes, Zhao Tian's heart suddenly sank.

It was a slope of more than ten meters long and nearly twenty meters wide. Although there were some trees growing on it, they were not many and not high.

"wipe!"

Zhao Tian cursed secretly, when this thing was down there just now, it was blocked by the forest, so it couldn't be seen at all.

He quickly crawled over, and when Zhao Tian just stepped on it, half of his foot sank, and the water began to "squeak" out, and his face suddenly became even uglier.

The mud underneath has been soaked with water, and there is nothing special about such a place and a ticking time bomb.

"Oh shit!"

Zhao Tian couldn't stay calm anymore, and ran down rolling and crawling.

"Zhao Tian, ​​it's okay. There is nothing wrong with the direction we are looking at. No matter how heavy the rain is, we are not afraid."

When Zhao Tian returned to the resting place, the two people who had gone out to the east had already returned.

"Go! Get up quickly. Come with me!"

Zhao Tian ignored it and yelled with a suppressed voice.They are all people with many years of experience in hunting or collecting herbs in the deep mountains. After seeing him check back, they put on such a posture. How can they not know that there is a special situation?
Without saying a word, they all stood up and left quickly with Zhao Tian who had turned around.

"boom!"

Zhao Tian stopped suddenly, turned around and looked, his face was pale - the tree above the place where everyone was staying just now fell down suddenly, and a yellow and white space was exposed in the blink of an eye.

"Fuck! Fate!"

Zhao Tian slashed a tree beside him that was as thick as a calf and fell to the ground.If I hadn't been careful and went out to check in less than half an hour after it rained and found something was wrong, the mudslide would have been buried under it by now.

Under the majesty of nature, it is useless for an individual to fight!
Although Zhao Tian was fearless, he was also frightened at this time.

Only at this time did the people around know why Zhao Tian drove everyone away as if he was chasing ducks just now. It turned out to be this matter.

"Damn! I said Zhao Tian, ​​you really are lucky!"

"Hahaha! Exactly."

"It seems that it is the right choice to let you be the leader this time."

……

No one would complain about the resting place that Zhao Tian chose just now, because they knew that even they would have chosen that point just now—that is to say, Zhao Tian did not make any mistakes in this.

Zhao Tian went out to inspect in less than half an hour after it rained. This abnormal behavior saved everyone's life. Although mudslides are normal in the mountains, they usually happen after a long period of rain. It happened not long after it rained and they were avoided. This is definitely luck. This made them believe in Zhao Tian. To survive in the mountains, experience is one thing, and good luck is also very important.

After this, especially since there was no good place to rest along the road, Zhao Tian simply didn't let people rest, and led everyone to continue walking in the rain.
