Chapter 862: The Secret at the Bottom of Vincent's Peak!

After bidding farewell to this group of cute penguins, Xia Haoran and his party continued to hurry.

Vincennes Peak.

Soon, Xia Haoran and the three of them suddenly appeared here.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Li Youjiang, would be able to stand on the top of the South Pole in my lifetime!" Li Youjiang stretched out his arms and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

In this regard, Xia Haoran and Ye Shanhe did not have much emotion. With their cultivation as the realm, not to mention a small top of Antarctica, that is, to climb the top of the earth - Mount Everest, is also a piece of cake.

If you look at the whole earth, the height of Vincennes is nothing. However, the extremely cold temperatures here are the biggest challenge for people. This is why Vincennes was the last of the world's most famous mountains on all continents to be conquered.

The two of them also understand Li Youjiang's excitement.

As an ordinary person, and he has been in a pampered life for a long time, it is definitely a big joke to climb Vincennes Peak on his own ability.

To know.

Most of the people who can reach the summit of Vincennes are trained professional mountaineers, and it is often difficult for amateur climbers to climb to the top of the South Pole.

And this, not to mention that it is the wintering season in Antarctica at the moment!

If you choose to climb Vincennes in the wintering and cold season, it is not called mountaineering, nor is it beyond the limit, but purely looking for death!

For example, now, although there is no exaggerated snowstorm at the summit of Vincennes, the temperature here is almost minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius.

Without using the mental method, even Xia Haoran could clearly feel a trace of chill at this moment. And it's still daytime!

"How is it, can you hold it?" Xia Haoran looked at Ye Shanhe, and then reached out and patted Li Youjiang lightly on the shoulder. At the same time, a true yuan force quickly sank into the other party's body, helping it resist the cold of the outside world.

"Thanks to the fact that we came here during the day!" Li Youjiang returned to normal and said: "If it is night, it will freeze into a statue in every minute, and he doesn't think about it at all!"

Ye Shanhe glanced at his lips and said, "Have you ever seen anyone who would choose to come to Antarctica to climb Mount Vincennes during the winter and cold season?"

Li Youjiang shrugged his shoulders, snorted and said, "That, stand high and see far, this sentence is really not wrong." Looking around from here, the scenery of the Antarctic continent is indeed amazing!"

"This is the only pure land on earth at present. Xia Haoran nodded slightly, then squatted down, and couldn't help but sigh: "Anyway, this Antarctic continent is really a treasure land rich in resources!"

At the moment when Xia Haoran had just released his divine sense, he had discovered a large number of resources in the Elworth Heights, where Vincent Peak was located. Such as iron ore, uranium ore...... And the reserves are obviously not low. If you develop one casually, it will be a world-class mine!

"Yes!"

Li Youjiang nodded and said: "According to the current proven data of mankind, there are extremely rich mineral resources such as coal, iron, oil and natural gas on the Antarctic continent. However, the Antarctic continent belongs to the common property of people all over the world, and no country or individual has the right to exploit these super mineral resources. ”

"There are a lot of countries that are very interested in this place these days. "Micro

After a pause, Li Youjiang continued: "Up to now, no country or organization has dared to act recklessly, and if someone touches the interests of the vast majority of the people, what awaits him will be a devastating military strike and economic sanctions!"

"It's a pity!" Ye Shanhe couldn't help but nod.

Li Youjiang is right!

The Antarctic continent is a continent far away from other continents and completely isolated from the civilized world, and there are still no permanent residents, only a small number of scientific expeditions take turns to live and work in a few research stations.

And this is also the last pure land that the international community has won for mankind.

"Hey, this is ......."

Suddenly, Xia Haoran, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, let out an exclamation, which immediately attracted the attention of Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang.

"Brother Haoran!" the two stared at Xia Haoran in a daze, waiting for his next explanation.

"Something extremely interesting!"

Xia Haoran stood up, waved his big hand, and the true yuan force wrapped the two of them, and quickly came to a huge ice cap crack twenty kilometers away due north, and said in a deep voice: "In the depths of Vincennes Peak, there is a tunnel that looks like it has been dug by man!"

"What? Underground tunnels?"

"Man-made tunnels? Brother Haoran, can you be sure?"

"Sure!" Xia Haoran nodded and hesitated: "However, that trace is not made by today. ”

Standing in front of the ice cap crack, Xia Haoran was stunned for a moment, the depth of the ice cap crack in front of him was extremely deep, almost leading directly to the rock ground below the ice cap!

Ice cap cracks refer to the cracks formed by the application of stress in the ice layer during the movement of glaciers, also known as "ice crevices". There are three common ice crevices: side gaps, longitudinal gaps and transverse gaps.

Obviously, at this time, the ice cap crack in front of Xia Haoran and the three of them with a width of more than 30 meters and an infinite extension to both ends was a horizontal crack.

"Damn! This ice cap crack makes people feel so terrifying!" Li Youjiang couldn't help but shrink his neck, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xia Haoran noticed that when the violent wind blew through the sky above this ice cap crack, the tyrannical wind was actually sucked down by this crack.

And.

Not far from Xia Haoran and them, the rift there was not absorbing the wind inward, but was constantly spewing out white columns of air. It felt as if the wind had been drawn down from here, and it circled in the crack, and then spit out from another location.

When he saw this scene, Xia Haoran already understood something in his heart.

The reason for this strange scene in front of us is that the depth and width of this ice cap crack are so deep and wide enough that it can produce turbulence out of thin air, which is often referred to as the great vortex of air.

Just like the disappearance of planes that often occur around the world, when the plane passes through a certain sea area, it disappears from the radar for no reason, and then causes the disappearance. In fact, this is the air vortex created by the hedging of the sea water in the depths of the ocean, so that the plane passing above it is sucked directly down.

"Be careful!" Xia Haoran's gaze swept over the two of them and said, "This ice cap crack does not feel very comfortable. And, because of this

The fissures are deep and wide enough to create air vortices. ”

"Brother Haoran, how deep is this rift?" Ye Shanhe touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I tried to probe it just now, but it was bottomless. ”

"It's okay, the position we are standing in is about 4,000 meters. Xia Haoran shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said, "This ice cap crack has directly penetrated into the underground rock layer. And the tunnel I talked about before is more than 3,000 meters deep under the rock layer. ”

After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Originally, I still wanted to go down to see what the situation was in that strange tunnel, but with my current cultivation, there is no guarantee that I can escape by jumping down." So, let's wait until we have a chance later. ”

"Yes, yes, safety first! As for the detection, let's talk about it later!"

When Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang heard this, the cold sweat on their foreheads immediately flowed.

The crack in the ice cap alone was almost 4,000 meters deep, and the strange and seemingly man-made tunnel was still more than 3,000 meters below the rock layer......

Other words!

This strange ancient tunnel is actually more than 7,000 meters deep underground!

"Oh God!"

More than 7,000 meters deep, what kind of concept is that? Thinking of this, Li Youjiang and Ye Shanhe beat drums in their hearts.

"Let's go!"

Xia Haoran sacrificed the flying sword and led the three of them straight into the air.

……

Dry valley without snow.

The valley is surrounded by undulating mountains, glaciers, and snow-capped glaciers, which can even be seen everywhere, and the glaciers flow down into the valley, forming icefalls. However, it is extremely surprising that these icefalls disappear silently when they fall to the sides of the valley.

There was not a single trace of snow in the valley, only the exposed rocks, and the piles of white beast bones beneath the rocks, and nothing else.

Xia Haoran took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the magical place in front of him, and muttered to himself: "This is the Snowless Dry Valley?"

"That's right!" Li Youjiang next to him came back to his senses, couldn't help but nodded and said, "This is the snow-free dry valley near McMurdo Bay in the northeast of Antarctica!"

"You see, the glaciers around the valley flow down into the valley and form icefalls, but these icefalls are gone before they reach the sides of the valley. In addition, this valley does not snow all year round, which is why it is called a 'dry valley without snow'. ”

Speaking of this, Li Youjiang paused slightly and said: "There is no ice or snow in this valley, only exposed rocks and piles of beast bones, and there is no life, so it is also called the 'Valley of Death'. ”

"The Valley of Death?"

Xia Haoran stepped into the valley, and he could clearly feel the trembling aura of death rushing towards him, but at the same time, he also sensed a very faint and refreshing aura.

"How can this be? There is such a strange existence on the earth?" Xia Haoran turned around and nodded to Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang, and said, "Two big brothers, although this snowless dry valley is not forbidden for humans to set foot in, we still try to be careful. I always feel that what I see in front of me is not as simple as it seems!"
