In another cave within a cliff, Qiong Er said with a face full of smiles, ”Master. He was really fun today. He drew a dot himself, then ran ten miles in all directions, but always reached the Life Severing Cliff! ”
His Master smiled, ”This method might be useful in normal places, but how can it be effective in Bewildering Forest? Has he discovered that the Life Severing Cliff is the same place?”
Qiong Er laughed: ”It should have been discovered, because the second time he arrived at the edge of the cliff, he left a mark, but it was too far away, I did not manage to see it clearly!”
The master stared at her. ”You used Ye Yin's movement technique?”
Qiong Er looked at her expression. I hurriedly said: ”disciple will remember Master's teachings, so I don't dare to be careless. ”He has been maintaining a distance of five hundred feet away from me the entire time, but he did not realize it.”
The master nodded his head. ”Ye Yin's movement technique is at least fifty meters away. No one will be able to find you, but you have to be careful. He was able to think of this idea overnight and discover the problem on his second visit. He was extremely meticulous and could not be careless, arriving at the Life Severing Cliff four times. How did he do? ”
Qiong Er said: ”Qiong Er didn't notice anything wrong with him. Just now when I saw him, he was sitting at the edge of the cliff in a daze!”
The master frowned and said, ”He didn't show any signs of irritability or uneasiness? You don't seem to be depressed at all? ”
Qiong Er smiled: ”Seems a little dejected. He is sitting at the edge of the cliff in a daze, maybe he is planning to jump down.”
The master smiled. ”This man will never jump down. He has such skills. I believe that he will continue to search in this manner tomorrow, until he has completely collapsed. It should be at least four days later! ”
Long Feiyu didn't think that his perseverance wouldn't be that great, and he didn't need to have too much perseverance in his achievements. He was also wrong, Long Feiyu didn't think that he would look for a new method like today, but if he wanted to look for a new one, he would need to think of one, because he had a lot more knowledge than the people here. Bewildering Forest was a dead end for the people here, but for him, it was a chance of survival.
Long Feiyu was thinking hard about the way out.
There was a basic method to find the road in the forest: Find the water source, as long as there was a river, following the river would mean that he would be able to leave the great forest, which was the law of jungle life, but there was no water source here, there was a pool below, which should mean that there was only stagnant water, or that there were hidden crowd that would lead to the outside of the mountain, but he could not confirm it at all, because everything here was filled with a strange color, maybe this pool was a real lake of dragons and tigers.
There were two other ways of finding their way through the forest. The compass was of course the most useful, but he didn't even have an inch of iron in his hand, and he wasn't sure if the world had the same magnetic field as Earth, which didn't work: the other way was to determine the direction based on the shape of the trees, which was probably his only way of doing it.
The great forest could deceive his eyes, he would never deceive its native species — trees! The growth of trees has a regular pattern: one side of the sun grows luxuriantly, and the other side of the shade grows relatively sparsely. This is obvious and easy to recognize, but it is also not very reliable, because there is also the wind factor, the soil moisture factor, and the temperature factor. In the same forest, the density and width of the ring should be directly related to the direction, always moving in a relatively wider or denser direction, constantly modifying their own direction, and should be able to maintain a relatively parallel line. When it reached a certain point, it would definitely be coming out of the great forest!
With this thought, Long Feiyu couldn't wait to try and get off the cliff and smash his palm against a big tree. It was the most common tree here, with large leaves and a tall trunk. With one palm, the tree fell, and sure enough, there were rings on one side, thick on the other. This side was close to the edge of the cliff, so they didn't have to worry about it. After about ten zhang, another tree of this type appeared. With another palm strike, he headed towards the wider area of the ring. As he was getting further and further away from the edge of the cliff, Long Feiyu kept walking forward and every few dozen meters, a large tree would fall down. This process took a long time, but Long Feiyu was full of confidence and did it in high spirits.
In the cave on the cliff, Qiong Er ran into the cave. She called out, ”Master, he... He's gone mad! ”
The master asked curiously, ”You've gone crazy so quickly?” ”He's much better than I expected. What did he do?”
