"We're almost there," Little Fish King replied unmoved.
Although this direction leads towards the Gray Dead Soil Plain, it is actually not far from the foot of Silver Peak Mountain, and is even quite far away.
Otherwise, wouldn't the tribe's rule against children leaving Silver Peak Mountain be a joke?
It can only be said that if Jiang Luoluo continues in this direction, she will get closer to the Gray Dead Soil Plain, even to the point where she can "see" the Gray Dead Soil Plain.
But now Jiang Luoluo doesn't even have the chance to "see" it anymore.
After secretly sulking for a while, Jiang Luoluo quickly calmed herself down and jogged ahead to catch up with the two of them. She also took out her small stone knife and helped cut down the lower plants.
However, this task was more difficult than Jiang Luoluo had imagined; it required extra effort to sever the roots of the vines.
She was young and not as strong as Little Fish King Biao and Shou Da, and the stone knife in her hand was not as sharp as the stone knife in their hands.
When you have something to do, time doesn't seem to pass quickly.
After walking a distance further, guided by Little Fish King Biao, Jiang Luoluo finally arrived at her destination.
This is a rocky cliff on the riverbank.
Whether it was eroded by the river or formed naturally, this rocky cliff on the riverbank has a height difference of about ten meters from the river surface.
Below the rocky cliff, there is a steep, flat slope, one or two meters wide, that connects to the surface of the river.
When the river's surface ripples, water washes over this flat slope, often leaving it damp and wet.
“It’s right below here,” Little Fish King said, pointing to the steep slope below the steep rocky cliff.
Jiang Luoluo craned her neck to look down, but didn't see any transparent stones.
"where is it?"
Little Fish King Biao rolled up his sleeves and tightened his belt, indicating that he would speak, "You'll see when you go down."
Jiang Luoluo understood that this matter couldn't be explained in a few words, and that she needed to go down and see for herself to know the situation, so she stopped talking nonsense.
Watching Little Fish King Biao nimbly climb down the slope, Jiang Luoluo imitated him and started rolling up her sleeves. Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her by the collar.
Jiang Luoluo turned around and met Shou's gaze.
"I'll take you down." Shou was a little helpless. He was here; could he really let Jiang Luoluo climb down by herself?
Jiang Luolu blinked, then remembered the incident. She smiled sheepishly, gave a very obedient "oh," and stopped moving, letting the guard lift her up.
The guardian cub was placed on his shoulder without any preparation. He looked down, found a few footholds, and with a few leaps, he landed steadily below.
Jiang Luoluo, sitting on Shou's shoulders, didn't even feel much swaying.
Little Fish King Biao climbed down first, but he couldn't keep up with Shou's speed in jumping down and fell behind.
However, Little Fish King Biao accepted it well. He glanced at Jiang Luoluo, who was carefully moving on the slippery slope, and didn't say anything. Instead, he skillfully went around her and continued to lead the way.
"How about I continue to take care of you?" Shou scratched his head, watching the cub cautiously walking on the ground.
"No need, I can manage." The main reason is that there is a bottomless, dark river right next to her, and there are even bigger fish in it than Jiang Luoluo.
It would be impossible for Jiang Luoluo not to be afraid, but she has to get used to it eventually.
Fortunately, the tribespeople are physically very strong. Jiang Luoluo was worried that she might slip, which is why she was so nervous. In reality, because of her body's strong reaction ability, she was not much different from walking on flat ground.
It was very easy to walk, not as difficult as I had imagined.
Only then did Jiang Luoluo have the time to examine the situation below the rocky cliff.
It was only when she got down there that Jiang Luoluo could see clearly that there were many cracks in the cliff face of the rocky cliff.
I don't know if it's a natural crack or a mark left by the river.
These gaps vary in size; some are so small that only a child's arm can fit through, while those over ten years old might not be able to fit through.
The larger one... was the gap where Little Fish King Biao was walking in front, about to lead Jiang Luoluo through; it was about half the size of a human-inhabited cave.
Jiang Luoluo froze as soon as she walked over.
The crevice in the rocky cliff and the platform they had come from were not connected, and the crevice was not flat; its shape resembled a vertical eye.
Entering the crack from the slippery slope, there is even a height difference of more than half a meter in the middle.
To Jiang Luoluo's astonishment, the entire crack was filled with many stones of various sizes, and about half of them were the transparent stones she had seen before.
However, the turbidity of these transparent stones varies, and only a small fraction of them are transparent enough to make transparent lenses.
Of course. Even if it's only this small fraction, it's still a lot.
Little Fish King Biao familiarly jumped into the crevice and stepped onto a pile of stones. The river water that had been washed in by the river rippled through the stones as Little Fish King Biao stepped on them.
Jiang Luoluo was worried about getting her clothes wet, so she didn't go down. Although her shoes were soaked with river water along the way, she could still tell the difference between wet shoes and wet clothes.
Squatting down for a closer look, Jiang Luoluo noticed that there were actually some turtle bones mixed in with the rocks. Perhaps because they had been dead for too long, the murky impurities had all settled down, leaving only the translucent fish bones embedded in the stones.
