There was no breath of life in those scientific research stations, that is, there were no wintering expedition members left in the scientific research stations. You guys go around first, and I'm going to take a closer look at what it means!"

As soon as these words came out.

Xia Haoran didn't take a few steps, he jumped directly onto a rock and sat on the ground, and at the same time, the divine consciousness in his mind poured out like sea water, instantly wrapping the entire snowless dry valley layer by layer.

"This kind of weird place is really interesting!" Xia Haoran muttered to himself in his heart.

His intuition told him that this snowless dry valley was abnormal, and that it was hiding too many secrets!

Breath of Death!

And the trace of refreshing breath he felt before, it was clearly the aura of life!

However, how could the aura of death and the aura of life appear in this mysterious valley at the same time?

A moment later.

Xia Haoran stopped suddenly, he stood up and couldn't help but look around the snowless dry valley.

That's right!

The dry valley is surrounded by glaciers and snow-capped mountains of about one or two thousand meters.

Xia Haoran's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, and he muttered to himself: "It's really strange! The aura of death and the aura of life here seem to be imprisoned by something, and they have always lingered in this snowless dry valley, condensing but not dispersing?"

What the hell!

Xia Haoran hesitated for a moment, and then he dodged, and his person had already appeared in front of an "icefall" at the edge of the valley.

Looking at this real giant "ice fall", disappearing in front of his eyes silently, Xia Haoran's eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry. He grabbed a slender stick and carefully probed it to the point where the icefall had disappeared.

The next moment!

A magical scene has happened!

The first half of the stick suddenly disappeared from the tip at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the strange situation was as if it had been cut off by the waist!

"Damn! That's how it is......"

At this point, Xia Haoran finally understood.

He had guessed about this magical snowless dry valley before, but he didn't dare to confirm, and now when he saw the scene in front of him, he finally confirmed the guess in his heart.

This snowless dry valley should be a sealed place!

Xia Haoran had also painstakingly studied the Formation Dao, but unfortunately, with the pitiful basic knowledge of the Formation Dao that he had mastered so far, he couldn't see the reason at all in the face of the current Sealing Array.

In this regard, Xia Haoran was not discouraged.

Compared with those bigwigs in the cultivation realm, Xia Haoran is still very young, and he still has a lot of time to study and study. What's more, since stepping into cultivation, Xia Haoran has only been cultivating for a few years in total.

In just eight years, Xia Haoran has grown from scratch, and now he has achieved very excellent results in his own cultivation, alchemy, refining, and in the formation path.

Seriously!

With an extraordinary cultivation speed like Xia Haoran, as well as a super comprehension and talent, if this is really known by those cultivation masters, one by one will not be shocked?

Those who are content are always happy, and those who are deficient can forge ahead!

saw his own gaps and shortcomings, which aroused Xia Haoran's character of not admitting defeat in his heart.

That's good!

If there are no challenges in life, how can there be passion and fun?

This sealing array, because the age is too old, the power of the seal here has gradually been eroded and weakened by the power of time. But it is undeniable that the power of the seal here has not completely disappeared, and as a result, the strange spectacle of the Snowless Wadi Valley has been formed!

"But what's sealed here?"

Xia Haoran groped his chin, squinted his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

Up to now, Xia Haoran knew that there were no longer a few ancient sealing arrays on the earth. For example, the blood-colored array on the nameless island outside the East China Sea, and the sinkhole in the depths of Shennongjia......

However, a sealing array like this either seals some folding spaces, which is often referred to as the secret realm small world in the cultivation realm, or seals some treacherous demon giants, just like the evil dragon sealed in the Shennongjia secret realm small world.

Thinking of this, Xia Haoran finally figured out why the aura of death could coexist with the aura of life.

Usually near the Great Sealing Array like this, there will be some magic left more or less...... Just like the aura of death, it is an invisible guardian of the Great Sealing Array, and as for the aura of life, it is even more unsurprising.

Under the erosion of endless years, the sealing array has been weakened too much. Therefore, why not be able to escape some spiritual energy from the great array?

In this way, it is easy to explain why these seals break into the dry valley and die.

To know.

The snowless dry valley is more than 10,000 kilometers away from the nearest coastline, and even more than 100,000 kilometers from the coastline.

Seals, who are accustomed to living in the sea or on the coastline, usually never leave the place where they live, and run all the way to the snowless dry valley, which is contrary to the seal's habits.

The seal's outrageous behavior must have something to do with the aura of life!

Most of the beasts are naturally sensitive to smells, and it should be the spirit of life in the Snowless Dry Valley that completely attracted them, so they made the long journey to come here.

When the seals arrived in this dry valley, they tragically found that there was no snow or ice, so they lost their way, and finally due to the lack of drinking water, they could not climb out of the valley until they ran out of strength, and they had to become piles of bones.

Only this explanation, in Xia Haoran's view, is the closest to the perfect answer.

However, there is one more problem.

Why, then, is the dry valley full of seal bones and not the penguins, the lord of Antarctica?

In fact!

Animals are naturally sensitive to smells, but by no means the whole story. There are many wonders in the world, and there are always a very small number of special existences in everything.

This is the so-called variable!

There is no doubt that the penguin, as the lord of Antarctica, is the variable existence in Xia Haoran's mouth.

In order to better withstand the cold and survive and reproduce in this extremely harsh environment, penguins no longer waste precious energy on sensory organs that are of little use to themselves in the course of hundreds of millions of years of natural evolution.

There is a scientific basis for this.

Researchers have found that in hundreds of millions of years of species evolution, many penguins have lost their taste sense of sweet, sour, and bitter. In other words, these sensory and other organs, under ultra-low temperatures, no longer have any benefit to the survival and reproduction of penguins.

this

It's species evolution!

It's like an ostrich.

You know, the ostrich is also a bird, but how did it become what it is today? Actually, it has a very close relationship with the environment in which it lives.

Ostriches are known to live in vast savannahs and deserts. When people think of this kind of place, they usually think of tall, running species, such as horses, wolves, lions, leopards......

And what about birds?

In such places, there are indeed birds, but there are not many of them.

Penguins, on the other hand, are marine birds, and they are one of the oldest migratory birds.

To know!

Flying in the vast snowfield not only consumes a lot of calories, but also is very dangerous, and in addition, changing from flying to crawling on the snowfield not only saves calories stored in the body, but also is safe!

……

When Xia Haoran arrived, Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang were standing in front of a frozen lake, engaged in heated discussions and arguments.

"Brothers, what are you talking about?" Xia Haoran asked with a smile.

"Brother Haoran, this is the legendary Fanda Lake!" Li Youjiang pointed to the lake in front of him and said: "The water temperature of this lake is very strange, it is about 0 °C under the ice layer three or four meters thick, it rises to 7.7 °C at a depth of 15 meters ~ 16 meters, and below 40 meters, the water temperature is comparable to the temperature of the sea water in the temperate zone, reaching 25 °C. ”

"It's kind of interesting!" Xia Haoran swept towards the frozen lake with his divine sense, and said with a smile.

Seriously.

He had never heard of a lake with such a strange water temperature!

Li Youjiang continued: "Scientists have two explanations for this: one is the geothermal theory, and the other is the solar radiation theory. Scientists who adhere to the geothermal theory believe that there are two active volcanoes in the vicinity of the Dry Valley, Mölbnecan and Erebus, so the magmatic activity in this area is intense, which produces high geothermal heat. Scientists who adhere to the theory of solar radiation believe that under long-term solar exposure, Lake Vanda has accumulated a large amount of radiant energy. In other words, the water at the bottom of the lake absorbs and stores a large amount of radiant energy from the remaining sunlight, and the ice on the surface of the lake acts as a good barrier to prevent the heat from escaping from the lake, thus creating a greenhouse effect. ”

"Bullshit science!" Ye Shanhe glanced at his mouth and said lightly: "There is no geothermal activity near the snowless dry valley, so the explanation of geothermal heat is very pale; ”

Li Youjiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Some people also say that this is because the salinity of the bottom layer of Fanda Lake is higher, so the density is high, and the bottom layer will not rise, so the characteristics of high temperature are retained." At the same time, the surface water has a serious heat loss during the wintering season, while the bottom water is protected by the upper water layer, and the heat loss is less, so that the water temperature can be maintained at a particularly high level. ”

Xia Haoran shook his head slightly, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye is right, there is indeed no sign of geothermal activity here. In addition, the explanation of solar radiation is clearly. ”

After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "As for the last statement, it does sound reasonable, but it is not correct!" After speaking, he took a few steps forward, and at the same time slapped his palm towards the frozen lake.

"Bang ......"

With a loud bang, the ice in a radius of several feet shattered, revealing the true face of Vanda Lake.
