【Chapter 072】 The eagle is sorrowful

"The fourth is back?" Seeing Wang Huaan and others returning to the camp together, Yu Shanwei said with a smile: "Let me see what I have gained today?" ”

"Teacher Yu, what kind of fish is this?" Before Wang Hua'an could answer, Liu Rui took out the sturgeon like a treasure and displayed it in front of Yu Shanwei.

"Sturgeon?!" Yu Shanwei's tone was full of surprise, and the appearance of the sturgeon made him a little surprised.

Yu Shanwei is not a young man like Liu Rui, as an expert in aquatic animals, he has a deep understanding of the source of sturgeon and the value of scientific research. There are sturgeon living in the fairy lake, which is a worthy of attention for Yu Shanwei, perhaps, through sturgeon and other aquatic animals, the formation history of the fairy lake, ecological changes can be studied in detail.

In Yu Shanwei's view, since entering the depths of Xiaoqingshan, some rare animals and plants with high scientific research value can be seen everywhere, which is a completely unexplored natural treasure house. Yu Shanwei has a hunch that perhaps the rest of his life will be inseparable from this mysterious mountain range.

Everyone in the expedition team had a detailed division of labor, and soon, curling smoke rose on the meadow, and the sound of the pressure cooker gas valve was sounding. Because it has now entered the high altitude area of more than 2,000 meters, except for barbecue, the rest of the food of the expedition team is cooked through a pressure cooker.

After everyone had eaten dinner, the sun in the sky had already set on the other side of the mountain, leaving only the sky like black jade, low above everyone's heads, as if within reach. It was dark early in the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding sky dimmed, and only the light from the campfire kept jumping.

At night, the wind gradually blowing on the surface of the lake gradually becomes stronger, whining, the fire is constantly swaying, and the howl of wild wolves is accompanied by the mountain, which makes people shudder.

After taking precautions, the members of the expedition team got into their warm sleeping bags early and fell asleep to the sound of the howling wind.

Outside the tent, the starry sky, wolf howling, strong winds, and waves constitute a mysterious world.

…………

When he woke up in the morning, Liu Rui, who got out of the tent, shivered violently and had to return to the tent to put on a coat.

Because of the low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, when there is no sunlight, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so special attention should be paid to keeping warm. When the expedition team finished breakfast and headed in the direction of the 'Eagle Sorrowful Stream' with the rising sun, the bright sun shone on their bodies and was exceptionally warm.

From the camp by the lake of the fairies, it took less than an hour for the expedition to pass through a beautiful alpine meadow and come to a gorge. Between the two huge peaks, a crack suddenly appeared, as if it had been slashed by a sharp sword, which was daunting. A huge amount of water gushed out of the crack in the shore, and he jumped off the cliff dozens of meters below.

Huge currents of water crashed against the rocks with a deafening roar; The white spray splashed high and then drifted with the wind, turning into a misty mist. The sunlight in the sky was refracted and formed a huge rainbow on both sides of the canyon, and it seemed that Liu Rui could step on the rainbow bridge and fly over the other end of the mountain.

Liu Rui, who didn't seem to have recovered from the wonderful scenery along the way just now, stood in front of such a majestic canyon waterfall, and suddenly felt his own insignificance and the greatness of nature!

The other members of the expedition team behaved similarly, and after being in a daze for a while, they took out their cameras one after another to take pictures of this touching scene.

After the expedition team stayed in front of the canyon for a while, it was only under the leadership of Wang Huaan that they walked downstream along the canyon. Along the way, the water in the canyon is like going down a staircase, jumping down step by step, and in a short period of time, there is a huge drop of hundreds of meters.

After going through some hardships, the expedition team finally came to the north-south 'Eagle Sorrow Stream'.

Perhaps because of geological movements, or perhaps because of the perennial erosion of the water, between the cliffs of the two mountains, the river flows slowly among the rocky flats, far from the fast and galloping horses upstream. The front and back of the 'Eagle Sorrow Stream' are full of rocks with no grass and slippery hands, and it is really not easy to enter the river valley from the mountain.

At the beginning, Zhang Huaizhong was because of the lack of necessary tools, so he could only look at the cliff and sigh, and he was not able to enter the valley to see how many 'leprosy' turtles were living in the eagle stream. In the depths of Xiaoqingshan, ordinary people rarely come in, not to mention the green mountains and bad waters like the 'Eagle Sorrow Stream', so the secrets here have never been discovered.

After turning back and forth on the cliff a few times, Yu Shanwei and the others finally determined the plan and route of the stream and began to prepare for action.

They first found an ancient tree on the cliff that was as thick as a man, and after careful inspection, they tied a few nylon ropes around their waists. These nylon ropes are only as thick as a thumb, but they are specially made to withstand more than a few tons.

After that, Han Zhengbao, who has the best outdoor climbing skills, put a lock on his waist and was the first to descend into the 'Eagle Sorrow Stream'. With these modern climbing equipment and techniques, the insurmountable barrier that originally seemed insurmountable in Zhang Huaizhong's eyes is not a big problem.

Han Zhengbao faced the mountain wall, his feet tapped rhythmically, and he slid down the valley in a flickering manner, which was indescribably relaxed. Soon, it took him less than five minutes to reach the bottom.

With the first precedent, the members of the expedition team also successfully completed this journey and entered the 'Eagle Sorrow Stream'. Needless to say, Yu Shanwei and others often conduct field investigations, so such work is naturally easy to come by and effortless. Although Liu Rui and Wang Huaan have not been in contact with Suojiang before, after watching it a few times, with their physical fitness and hands-on ability, they also got started quickly, and there was no problem at all.

After entering the 'Eagle Sorrow Stream', Liu Rui found that perhaps because of the lack of light, most of the plants growing on the edge of the ditch were mosses, ferns, aquatic plants, etc., and there were basically no tall trees. In the valley, the water flows gently through the cracks in the stones, and you can see fish and crabs flashing at the bottom of the water.

On the edge of the cliff, a few kingfishers spread their wings, tapped on the water, grabbed small fish and shrimp, and returned to their nests.

The expedition team seemed to have entered a quiet and peaceful world from an extraordinarily noisy world, and everyone seemed to subconsciously keep silent, even slowing down their steps a little.

After walking along the river beach for a while, Han Zhengbao in front suddenly stopped, raised his hand to signal the team members behind him to pay attention, and Liu Rui knew that he had discovered a new situation.

The expedition team was quietly lying behind a huge mountain rock, watching the shocking scene in front of them!

It was eleven o'clock at noon, and the golden sunlight was pouring down from the sky, breaking through the layers of fog in the 'Eagle Stream', shining on the river beach, shining with thousands of golden lights. On the river beach, dozens of old turtles, large and small, are lazily drying their backs, their green dorsal armor looks very conspicuous in the sun.

Although they were far away, the members of the expedition team recognized at a glance that they were all leper turtles. Liu Rui suddenly felt that the breathing of the surrounding team members was a little short, especially Yu Shanwei, who was clenching the edges and corners of the mountain rock with both hands, and the green tendons were bursting out.

The main goal of this expedition is to confirm the fact that the 'leper turtle' is surviving in the 'eagle's sorrowful stream', and now that the target is in front of him, how can he not make Yu Shanwei excited?

The fact that the leper turtle, which has almost been sentenced to death by the academic community and whose extinction is on the horizon, has now appeared in such a large population is a sign that there is still hope for this species. Perhaps, this discovery can rewrite some academic assertions and imprint the names of Yu Shanwei and others in the history of animal research.

In the following time, the expedition team observed and photographed these turtles in the river valley, recorded their living environment, habits, etc., and did not return to the camp until evening.

For several days, the expedition team went back and forth between the camp and the Eagle Sorrow Stream, made a very detailed observation of the leper turtle, and finally even captured a small leper head turtle weighing a few pounds freely, and prepared to take it back to Shangliang Village for corresponding research.

So far, the goal of the expedition team to go deep into Xiaoqingshan has been fully realized, and it can be described as a complete success. As for the rare flora and fauna, magnificent scenery and steep terrain found along the way, they can be regarded as unexpected gains of the expedition, and it can also be said that these unexpected gains will become the opportunity for the next large-scale scientific expedition.

Of course, the biggest gain this time is Liu Rui.

Since entering Xiaoqingshan, Shi Zhu has absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, which has prompted the Shennong space to expand on a large scale, and it has been two or three times larger than before. At the same time, the aura made Liu Rui's body better, and this time when he entered the mountain, he has always maintained his abundant physical strength, and he did not pull the team back at all.

In addition, there are many rare plants in the space, as long as Xu Wenchang points out which plants have certain research value and economic value, Liu Rui will secretly transfer them to the space.

However, what satisfied Liu Rui the most was a row of bracken planted on the edge of a small pond, which was perhaps the most affordable harvest since Liu Rui entered the mountain.

Before entering the mountain this time, he hurriedly arranged things at home, which made Liu Rui realize for the first time that growing vegetables is actually not the most suitable business. There are many varieties in the vegetable garden, which need to be watered and picked every day, which consumes a lot of time for Liu Rui and his mother. Once Liu Rui goes out, the matter of the vegetable garden will almost come to a standstill, which is not very good for the development of the industry.

After thinking about it, Liu Rui decided to gradually reduce the share of vegetable planting, and let his aunt Li Lan take over, but his own vegetable garden could not be abandoned. On the way into the mountain, Liu Rui has been thinking about what to plant to replace ordinary vegetables, until he saw bracken!

Perhaps, this is a good direction!

ps: There will be a change later, everyone gets up in the morning to watch!
