The Valley of Sand and Dust is the largest canyon in the human realm, and it is also the deepest canyon in the human realm, with an average depth of 3,000 meters and a maximum depth of about 6,000 meters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Known as the scars of the earth, the vast Valley of Sand and Dust is a mysterious place that has yet to be explored.
Jumping from the edge of the valley of sand and dust, countless pieces of sand and dust were blown on Lin Su's face by the wind, although it was not painful, but it was annoying. In order to prevent dust and sand from getting into his eyes, Lin Su took out a pair of windproof goggles from his backpack and put them on his face.
Overhead, there is a sandstorm area more than two kilometers thick, and the bottom of the valley of sand and dust is pitch black, like the deep sea, where no light can reach here. The sand and gravel that constantly hit the face and the howling strong wind made it impossible to distinguish between the east and the west, and it was difficult to imagine how difficult it was to cross here.
"It's a great place to practice your senses. Lin Su opened his mouth with a large amount of sand grains, and because of the opening of new tastes, those sand grains tasted like popping candy to him.
After the resurrection of the tongue of the food cell demon, Lin Su was also confused about this, if everything became food in his mouth, what else did he need to cook?
Later, Lin Su had a barbecue at a nearby restaurant, and the original confusion disappeared immediately. The taste of food that has been carefully prepared is incomparable to that of uncooked ingredients, like the difference between braised pork and boiled pork without even salt.
Taking out the compass from his pants pocket and walking around, Lin Su found that the compass was still functioning here, which was good news.
Even though it was pitch black all around, and the strong flashlight could only illuminate a distance of a few meters, it still couldn't stop Lin Su from exploring the Valley of Sand and Dust.
His newly awakened sense of taste has made him particularly sensitive to the taste of ingredients, and he is able to distinguish trace amounts of odor molecules in the air like a snake.
According to the guidance of the sense of taste, Lin Su headed all the way east, and after about ten minutes, he finally found traces of life at the bottom of the Valley of Sand and Dust.
It is a tall tree that has been shaped like the Eiffel Tower to fight strong winds. The hollowed-out branches are covered with windmill-like blades, and countless blades rotate under the blow of sandstorms, and when you look closely, they look like small wind turbines that are densely distributed.
Although he had seen strange plants such as lobster trees and Rubik's Cube fruits, Lin Su still couldn't imagine that there would be such plants in the world.
But on the other hand, there is nothing impossible about this situation.
Isn't it also a product of evolution for plants to absorb sunlight and produce nutrients through chlorophyll, and even high-end energy sources such as light energy can be effectively used, and it is reasonable to use wind energy to produce nutrients for themselves.
Lin Su had a small camera in his backpack, but he couldn't shoot properly in an environment like the Valley of Sand and Dust. After thinking about it for a while, he plucked a leaf from the windmill tree in front of him and collected it, hoping to take it back and study it carefully.
If you give this thing to the regenerator, you might be able to improve it into a more practical plant, like the solar turtle.
"I wonder what this windmill tree smells like?"
Since the awakening of the second sense of taste, Lin Su began to emulate the mythical feat of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, constantly tasting the taste of various ingredients, anyway, he didn't worry about being poisoned, so he regarded it as a change of taste.
When you pluck a leaf and put it in your mouth, you will feel a faint aroma of tea in your mouth, and you will feel like a matcha-flavored biscuit.
Just as Lin Su was tasting the newly discovered ingredients, a bag suddenly bulged on the surface of the yellow sand on the ground, and then a snow-white mole came out of the sand. The sand mole sniffed lightly with its nose, then quickly climbed up the trunk of the windmill tree, gulping down the leaves.
"It's rare that there are animals. Lin Su didn't bother the sand mole rat, and left after recording the sand mole rat's appearance.
Although the valley of sand and dust is full of yellow sand, the temperature at the bottom of the valley is very low because there is no sunlight, so it is not easy to live here.
However, nothing is certain, and the vastness and astonishing depth of the Valley of Sand and Dust provide a chance for the creatures at the bottom of the valley to survive.
Located 3,000 meters underground, there is no shortage of groundwater here, and although it is buried under the yellow sand, it can be seen less than half a meter from the ground. In some places, there is also underground magma as a heat source, and the combination of the two gives life to the bottom of the Valley of Dust.
Not far from the windmill tree, Lin Su found a large patch of dense purple plants.
"It turned out to be a devil potato, but I didn't expect such a large patch to grow at the bottom of the Valley of Dust. Lin Su said with some surprise, he thought that the devil potatoes had been extinct in the harsh environment of the Valley of Sand and Dust.
In fact, this terrifying plant has never given up its grip on the Valley of Sand and Dust, and can be seen wherever there is a water source underground. These devil potatoes are able to survive without sunlight exposure, and the nutrients they need are obtained entirely from the soil in which they are rooted.
It is precisely because of the tireless invasion of devil potatoes for thousands of years that the valley of sand and dust has become deeper and deeper into what it is today.
"I don't know what this devil potato tastes like, and how it differs from the ordinary potatoes that grow on the ground. "Leaves and other ingredients Lin Su can directly stuff into his mouth, but for the moment, these potatoes are a huge waste.
"Take a few with you, and bake them when I get to the desert garden. ā
Grabbing a handful of stems and leaves, a large fist-sized bunch of potatoes was dragged out. After picking these devil potatoes, Lin Su carefully wrapped a layer of ice shell on the outside.
The reproductive ability of devil potatoes was too terrifying, and Lin Su didn't want to let these devil potatoes have a chance to invade other places because of his curiosity.
After walking at the bottom of the Valley of Sand and Dust for more than half a day, Lin Su didn't find any new ingredients, this area is vast, and it is not a day's work to explore them all.
At the thought of going to the Food Pyramid, Lin Su decided to stop exploring the Valley of Sand and Dust.
If you want to find ingredients in the valley of dust, you rely on strong food luck, and if you are not lucky, it will be half the effort, so it is best to leave as soon as possible.
A pair of ice wings appeared behind Lin Su, slowly flying into the air in the sandstorm. A few minutes later, Lin Su's figure rushed out of the sea of sand. Looking around, Lin Su found that he was still a long way from the edge of the desert garden.
Taking out his GPS to determine his location, Lin Su flew directly towards the location of the Desert Kingdom.
