Chapter 176 2 Exploring Qiaoyun Mountain
This is the second time that He Qianqian and others have come to Qiaoyun Mountain.
This is the sacred mountain mentioned by the giant panda brothers.
This place is across the sea from the East Continent. It is called an island, and it is a very big one, so big that you can't see the end of it when you look down from the sky.
There is even a bear orc tribe quite far away from Qiaoyun Mountain.
It is said that there are several types of bears, and even raccoons, red pandas and other orcs that look like bears but are not bears.
He Qianqian still remembers that Pi Dan had told a fortune when they were going up the mountain: this trip was not a bad omen, there would be gains and losses in going up the mountain.
She originally thought that "gain" would mean gaining two good friends, the giant panda brothers, and "loss" would mean losing her adopted son, the giant panda An An.
But she did not lose An An, so what did she lose?
This is something I just can't figure out.
I hope this trip up the mountain will help her find the answer.
Halfway up the mountain, there is still mist and clouds, like a fairyland, and the whole view is unknown because of the deep clouds.
When we left the fox settlement, sporadic snowflakes were floating in the sky.
The Eastern Continent will soon enter a cold season covered in heavy snow.
And here, as far as the eye can see, there are still green mountains, clear waters and lush vegetation.
Xiao Zhong stood on the steps halfway up the mountain, pointed at the mountain peak that reached into the mist and said:
“Let’s first climb to where my brother and I live. There is a path leading to the back mountain from there.
At the end of the path, you can see a higher and bigger mountain, which is Mount Kinabalu.”
Jianze said, "How long will it take to crawl on our own two legs? Wouldn't it be faster if I carried everyone over by flying?"
Xiao Bo shook his head and said disapprovingly:
"The clouds here rise and fall, and the changes are endless. It is said that birds are more likely to get lost. Once they go astray, they are trapped in the fog and it is difficult to get out, and they are likely to bump into rocks.
Besides, we only knew the land route on the mountain ridge, not the straight flying route.
The fog was so thick that we couldn't see the road on the ridge clearly while flying in mid-air.
If you get lost, it will only waste time.”
Xiao Zhong added: "The reason why we two brothers don't dare to go to the back mountain is because it is very evil.
Our gravity abilities sometimes fail to work in the back mountains and we can’t use them.”
He Qianqian was surprised: "Oh? There is such a magical place?"
She thought for a moment and said, "We are here to gain experience, and choosing the easiest path will reduce the difficulty for ourselves.
If I want to reach a certain level like the males, I must endure all the tests that come with it.
What's wrong with climbing over? I'm a cat orc, and climbing is my strong point."
She thought of mermaids, whose weakest point was climbing, so she looked at Ming Gong Yao with concern:
He is the only one here, and after transforming into a human form, he has the weakest mobility on land.
After all, he was born a mermaid, and all his bones and muscles were prepared for living in water.
The two legs transformed from the fish fins are the least suitable for walking on mountain roads.
Ming Gongyao climbed the stairs for half an hour. Sweat was already breaking out on his forehead and his legs felt like they were not his own. They were even shaking.
But if the little female can do it, there is no reason why he can't.
Xiao Bo also noticed the blush on Ming Gongyao's face:
"Then crawl over there, and I'll recite the Ballad of the Underworld."
Ming Gongyao's body choked, and she waved her hands in embarrassment: "No need. I am here to gain experience as well. Only after you have suffered enough can you gain something."
He Qianqian looked at him with appreciation and suggested:
"Uncle Xiao will use his gravity ability to make you lighter, and then you can climb up by yourself. If you can't climb anymore, don't force yourself, let Uncle Xiao and Xiao Zhong carry you.
We are a whole. This experience is not only an individual experience, but also an experience for the five of us and the entire group.
We must help each other and no one should be left behind.”
Jianze smiled and teased: "Maybe there is a big lake on the mountain. None of us are good at water transportation, so we need you to carry us over."
Ming Gong Yao looked at Jian Ze with gratitude.
How could there be a big lake on a high mountain? I just said that on purpose to make him feel better.
Xiao Bo waved his hand, and Ming Gong Yao immediately felt as light as a swallow, and her body suddenly felt much more relaxed.
All he had to do was grab the handrail and pull himself up along it.
There is no strength in the legs, but the male's arms and palms have a very strong grip.
As the group climbed up the stairs, He Qianqian was relatively the slowest and most laborious one.
Jianze held her hand and walked up with her step by step.
Finally, we passed through several stone houses where the giant pandas lived and came to the path leading to the back mountain.
Looking down from here, you can see the sea of clouds and fog below the mountain.
But going up, it is still foggy and the clouds are so deep that it is hard to tell where it is.
Fortunately, the road is clearly visible.
When they got here, the road was flat and He Qianqian felt much more relaxed.
He hurriedly shook off Jianze's hand and shouted that he wanted to leave by himself.
Jianze looked at her lovingly and had no choice but to do as she wished.
The mountain road was flat at this time, and Ming Gong Yao could walk quickly and easily without the need for the blessing of gravity.
He immediately seized the opportunity and took the little female's hand:
"Qianqian, I'll hold your hand and walk with you. There are many rocks on the road, so don't trip."
He Qianqian smiled at him and took the initiative to interlock his fingers:
"Yeah. You should be careful too. Watch your step."
Looking at Qianqian's charming smile, Ming Gongyao's heart warmed and he nodded heavily.
The dumped Jianze: …
As the saying goes, new love smells good, but old love must be sour and smelly, right?
Feeling indignant, he suddenly kicked a big rock and stumbled forward.
He Qianqian flicked her hand, and a vine wrapped around his waist.
This is how Jianze avoided falling to the ground or rolling down the cliffs on either side.
!!!
His face turned red, and he quickly shook off the vine, "Don't worry, I have wings, how can I fall?"
Knowing that the big tiger was concerned about his reputation, He Qianqian quietly withdrew the vine.
Suddenly, the roar of beasts came from afar, not just one, but a group of them.
All companions immediately went on alert.
A few minutes later, He Qianqian finally saw their appearance clearly:
The ape, or should be called the gorilla, is a hairy ape with a pair of white ears.
It can climb on all fours and walk upright.
Hundreds of apes were seen walking or crawling, with their teeth bared and claws waving, gathering towards them.
