Chapter 180: East, West, North, and South
After determining the display ratio of the minimap.
Qiao Shan's eyes did not move, but continued to stay on the small map.
"So this way is north and this way is south?"
He began to determine the directions of east, south, west and north based on the small map.
Judging from the small map, the clone puppet was moving upwards just now.
The map that was explored opened up the original black part of the picture.
Qiao Shan didn't know.
The newly appeared small map follows the rule that north is at the top, south is at the bottom, west is on the left, and east is on the right.
But you must first determine a direction.
Without much hesitation, he followed his habits on Earth.
One side of the dark map, which was the direction that the clone puppet had just explored, was designated as the north.
On the other side, the area shown as khaki on the small map is located in the south.
At this point, he had preliminarily calibrated the function of the minimap.
Including map scale, including orientation...
…
"Now go south!"
Dozens of minutes later, the clone puppet sitting on the flaming warhorse came back again.
When we set out, we walked very carefully, which took a long time.
When we came back, the speed was very fast.
After reinstalling a few primary elemental gems on the clone puppet, Qiao Shan ordered it to ride on the flaming warhorse and continue on its journey.
This time explore the south side.
He planned to use the clone puppet to explore several areas within ten kilometers in the east, west, south and north.
Open the air hood and get a clear idea of the surrounding situation first.
It is very important.
You must explore the map first.
..
The clone puppet was tireless and sat on the horse and headed south again.
Qiao Shan also switched back to vision sharing.
Through the picture displayed on the small map screen, follow the clone puppet and explore the area south of the birth point.
The south, shown on the minimap , is khaki in color.
now,
In addition to exploring the map in the south.
He also wanted to find out what the khaki and black colors displayed on the small map meant.
Why are the two different.
.
"The trees are becoming thinner? Am I at the border of the forest and the plain?"
As the clone puppet moved forward, Qiao Shan looked at the images on the screen and muttered to himself.
The clone puppet walked south, and just a few kilometers away from the birth point, scattered trees appeared.
After five kilometers away from the birth point, there are fewer and fewer trees.
All I could see was flat grass.
After the clone puppet left for 8 kilometers, Qiao Shan no longer saw any trees.
But the good news is that the view from the flat land in the south is slightly better than that from the forest in the north.
There are some glowing grass growing sporadically on the grass.
The stars are dotted around, lighting up some roads.
Although not as bright as the moonlight on Earth, at least it’s not pitch black…
…
"Stop, look closely at this tree!"
Half an hour later, the clone puppet was about nine kilometers away from its birth point.
Suddenly, a big tree appeared in the field of vision, and Qiao Shan called a halt to the clone puppet.
It wasn't that he was surprised by the sudden appearance of a tree on the flat ground.
He was surprised.
This tree seems unusual.
He saw some evenly spaced holes on the tree.
The tree is very thick, about one or two meters in diameter.
On one side of the tree, there is a row of holes the size of bowls.
The holes are about ten centimeters deep and about thirty centimeters apart.
A row of fist-sized holes extended from the root of the tree along the trunk.
Because of the lack of vision, Qiao Shan couldn't judge how tall the tree was.
He also couldn't tell how far these holes extended.
But at least it was within his sight.
The holes are always there.
It looks very strange.
.
"Was this done by intelligent creatures, or was it formed naturally, or was it done by some wild beasts?"
Qiao Shan frowned, trying to figure out the reason for the appearance of these holes.
He could most likely rule it out, as it was the tree that grew on its own.
It's really unique.
But he couldn't confirm whether this row of holes was made by wild beasts or intelligent creatures.
If it was done by a wild beast, the holes are too neat.
If it was done by an intelligent creature, there are very few signs of tools being used...
Qiao Shan frowned and ordered his clone puppet to stare at a row of holes for more than ten minutes.
.
"keep going!"
In the end, I didn't understand anything.
Qiao Shan had no choice but to let the clone puppet continue moving forward.
The holes are indeed special.
Write it down first.
Make a judgment after exploring other directions.
…
A few hours later,
Qiao Shan commanded the clone puppet to explore a ten-kilometer -long map to the east and west.
On his small map, a cross-shaped display with a total length of twenty kilometers appeared.
Where the cross passed, the khaki and black barriers disappeared from the minimap.
He initially determined that the two colors were fog.
But he couldn't tell the difference between the two.
.
During this time, he also borrowed the vision shared by the pure white owl.
The entire map within a three-kilometer radius of the birth point has been explored.
So far, on his small map.
A clear circle with a radius of four kilometers in the middle is shown.
In the four corners of the circle, there is a ten-kilometer-long visible area like a spike.
.
"There are three anomalies in the north. They are glowing flowers and plants, glowing stones, and a bare upside-down carrot tree."
"There is an abnormal point in the south, which is a row of suspicious tree holes."
"Eight kilometers to the west, we entered a very high mountain, but nothing strange appeared."
"Ten kilometers to the east, there is actually a river. Due to the lack of visibility, we were unable to test how wide the river is..."
After recalling the clone puppet, Qiao Shan sat on the ground and began to analyze the information he had just obtained.
Overall, it is still safe at the moment.
There didn't seem to be any other "seniors" within ten kilometers around him.
Moreover, the "dark nest" he was worried about did not appear.
Of course, this is just a preliminary exploration, and Qiao Shan also understands that in order to confirm the specific information.
He still needs to continue exploring.
Not only did it explore the area within a radius of ten kilometers, but it also explored places that the clone puppet had not explored.
We should also explore places ten kilometers away.
Even though it seems safe for now.
But this is only temporary.
No one can guarantee what dangers may be waiting for him.
This is a strange dark world.
The ten-kilometer safety zone is too small.
He can currently only see things within ten kilometers.
Even though there was nothing blocking the south and most of the land was flat, he couldn't see far because of the visibility problem.
The danger is not great nearby, but that does not guarantee that there is no danger far away.
.
After briefly planning what to do next, Qiao Shan continued to send out his clone puppet.
At present, the clone puppet has only moved in the four cardinal directions of east, south, west and north.
On the small map, the shape of the map that was revealed was a long, thin line.
There is still a large part of the sector area that has not been explored.
Next, he planned to let the clone puppet explore the four corners, including the northeast and southeast, one by one.
