Xiliang Mountain is a mountain range composed of hundreds of mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles. Because of its extremely high altitude, snow has been accumulated on the top of the mountain all year round. The snow melts into snow water and flows down, irrigating the entire mountain range. Therefore, the mountain has rich forests and many wild animals, which can be said to be a complete ecological zone.

However, due to the high altitude of Xiliang Mountain, the plants on the mountain change rapidly with the increase of altitude. The low places are warm and moist, and evergreen broad-leaved forests grow lushly, forming an evergreen broad-leaved forest belt. The altitude is higher and the temperature is lower. The evergreen broad-leaved forests that like temperature gradually decrease, resulting in disappearance, while the cold-resistant coniferous trees gradually increase, and they are coniferous forest belts upwards two thousand meters. Further to the higher places, there is insufficient heat and difficult trees to grow. Shrubs instead of forests, and a shrub belt appears. At 4,500 meters upwards, it is an alpine meadow belt. After that, it is an alpine desert belt and a permanent snow belt.

When Ye Qing lived in the military district last night, he had already heard from people in the military district. In this side of Xiliang Mountain, the most terrifying thing is not the beasts, tigers and wolves on the mountain, but the real danger is something called a toothed rat.

It is said that this type of toothed rat is a group animal, even smaller than ordinary rats, but its teeth are very long, especially the two front teeth, which are much longer than the front teeth of ordinary rats. Because the teeth are too long, this type of toothed rat must use various methods to grind teeth. The toothed rat grows in an area upwards of 3,000 meters. There are not many trees, and it is mostly focused on shrubs. The traditional method of grinding teeth by biting wood is no longer suitable. Therefore, these toothed rats become particularly irritable because their teeth are too long but cannot grind teeth. In addition, they often attack nearby creatures, from tigers, wolves, and hares and squirrels, they cannot escape the attack of this toothed rat. They can be said to be the number one ferocious beast in Xiliang Mountain. In the past, many of the people who went up the mountain were attacked by toothed rats, and even their bones were bitten to pieces!

Ye Qing and his friends drove their car to the bottom of Xiliang Mountain and there was no road left. They had to abandon their car and walk along the mountain road to Xiliang Mountain.

Fatty Wang found eleven people this time, plus he himself, Ye Qing, and Lao Chen, there were fourteen people in total. I don’t know what was going on the mountain, so Fatty Wang and the others carried everything they wanted to use to avoid any unexpected situations on the mountain. Therefore, the fourteen people were also fully equipped and walked along the mountain to the middle of Xiliang Mountain.

The mountain road is rugged, but it is nothing to everyone. Ye Qing is full of energy. Although his internal strength is no longer there, there is still other strength in his body, and walking on the mountain road is nothing. And Fat Shuai Wang and others are used to walking on the mountain road all year round, so it is not difficult to walk in the mountain. However, Old Chen, this guy is not young anymore, and Ye Qing originally thought he could not climb the mountain. Unexpectedly, Old Chen was more energetic than him when walking on the mountain road. Not only did he walk all the way, he was still talking all the way, and he was much more energetic than young people.

After walking along the mountain road for about two hours, everyone finally climbed over two mountains. According to Zhou Yue's introduction, after climbing over two mountains, they had already come into contact with the dangerous areas of Xiliang Mountain, because wild beasts had begun to appear here.

Looking at the huge third mountain in front, Ye Qing asked everyone to rest on the spot and had lunch. During the meal, Ye Qing also took out the map and studied it carefully with Fatty Wang. Ye Qing had already drawn marks on the map of the mountain they were going to. According to the current calculation, they still have at least thirty mountains away from the mountain. At the current speed, they will have to walk at least one week before they can reach the mountain. Although it is only one or two hundred miles away, if you want to cross the mountains, the distance will be quite long. After all, it takes more time to climb the mountains.

After lunch, Ye Qing called everyone to stand up and said aloud: "Everyone, we will truly enter Xiliang Mountain next. There may be wild beasts and other things on this third mountain. So, be careful. Everyone must not get separated. Don't panic when encountering wild beasts. Let's work together, and don't be afraid even if you encounter wild beasts!"

Everyone nodded. In fact, Ye Qing didn't need to say that they had never seen any situations when these people fought back. They were not afraid of wild beasts or the like.

Old Chen scratched his head and said with a smirk: "Hey, boy Ye, I... I have always been timid. If I really see wild beasts or something, I will definitely not be afraid. If I get panic, I will definitely run away immediately. Maybe I will mess up everyone. This is also irresponsible to everyone. Look, why don't you just let me go up the mountain? I'll go back and wait for you now, how about it?"

Before Ye Qing could speak, Fatty Wang immediately said, "It's okay, we just need to know it in our hearts. If you are afraid of running away, we will definitely not be led by you. But you have to be careful. If you run around this mountain, you may be surrounded and eaten by tigers, leopards, etc., then we can't control you anymore!"

Lao Chen didn't want to go up the mountain, but Fatty Wang had been talked about for a few days. At this time, he finally had a chance. How could he let Lao Chen go? That means he would not let Lao Chen go.

In fact, Ye Qing also wanted to really understand Lao Chen's background. This is why he brought him here. Since he brought Lao Chen here, Ye Qing would definitely not let him go back. He wanted to use this dangerous environment on the mountain to force Lao Chen to see if Lao Chen really has any skills?

Ye Qing smiled at Old Chen and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. It's all here, there is no turning back. Since we came here voluntarily, we should go to the end and don't look down on us!"

Old Chen said anxiously: "When did I... I came voluntarily? You obviously forced me over!"

"What a joke, how do I remember you came here voluntarily? Fatty, don't you?" Ye Qing winked at Fatty Wang, and Fatty Wang immediately said, "Yes, that's it. When we left, the old guy knelt on the ground and cried and shouted, asking us to bring him here. Now I want to deny it, it's not OK!"

"When did I kneel on the ground and cry and shout to come over!" Old Chen looked unjust.

"Hey, do you want to admit it? If you don't admit it, ask them to see if this is the case!" Fatty Wang pointed to a group of people next to him and said.

Old Chen opened his mouth and finally closed his mouth. These people were all from the same group as Fatty Wang. If he asked these people, the result would definitely be the same. Now everyone is standing opposite him, and nothing he says is useless, so he can only be obedient.

"Okay, we are good to you. Look at how many things we carry, you have only been memorized!" Fatty Wang laughed and said, "I have carved three things, but you have only carved one. What else is there to be unreasonable?"

"Damn, what you said is nice, but how heavy are your three pieces combined? How heavy is this one of them?" Old Chen picked up the bag with various tools next to him and said, "Come on, if you don't want to, let's exchange them?"

"Well, what's the change? Respect the elders? How could I let you carry so many things? I can't argue!" Fatty Wang laughed and stood up and ran away with three packages of clothes on his back, not giving Lao Chen a chance to change them.

The bags that Lao Chen carries are filled with metal tools, not to mention how heavy it is. Fatty Wang carries a few clothes, but it doesn’t matter at all. How could Fatty Wang exchange them with Old Chen?

Old Chen looked at Ye Qing, and Ye Qing was even more straightforward. He carried the bag next to him and ran away, not giving him a chance to speak. Everyone else went up the mountain one after another, leaving Old Chen alone here. Old Chen looked at the lush forests around him, but did not dare to stay. He hurriedly picked up the bag and chased after him.

After walking up the mountain at an altitude of about a thousand meters, everyone could feel that the mountain was obviously different from the two mountains before. The forest was obviously much quieter than the previous one. On the previous mountain, birds were singing and flowers, and various small animals were constantly appearing, which was quite fun. On this mountain, there was not even a small animal. There was no sound of birds screaming all the way, which made the forest feel particularly gloomy.

Fatty Wang had been walking in front of the front in order to avoid Lao Chen. However, after walking in the forest for a while, he felt something was wrong. He quietly stepped back a little, walked to Ye Qing's side, and whispered: "Boy Ye, the situation is something wrong."

Ye Qing nodded slowly, without saying a word, but his brows were slightly frowning. In the forest, he had already smelled a faint fishy smell. Years of experience in the jungle marching told him that there must be a more fierce beast in the jungle, so there was no movement around him.

"Everyone, be careful!" Fatty Wang turned to greet everyone: "Two people in groups, take care of each other, don't disperse!"

Everyone was also experienced and felt that something was wrong. They had already looked for each other and took care of each other. However, Old Chen, who was walking at the end, immediately ran over when he heard Fatty Wang's words and said, "Brother Ye, we are in a group, I will take care of you!"

Ye Qing glanced at Old Chen. This old guy was also smart. He knew that hiding beside Ye Qing at this time was definitely the safest, so he ran over and wanted to join Ye Qing in the group. He said that he would take care of Ye Qing. To put it bluntly, wasn’t he just want Ye Qing to protect him?
