Chapter 243: Into the Valley of Death
Heart-eating sand fleas?
Hearing Uncle Tashi's introduction, everyone felt that their hearts were hairy, not to mention that this thing was poisonous in itself, and it would also burrow into the body and eat people's hearts, which was simply appalling and terrifying.
"But you can rest assured, there are not many of these poisonous insects, and they are rarely encountered, probably because they smell the bloody smell of wolves, and they are rare to see in ordinary times." Uncle Tashi added.
Everyone is a little more relieved.
Early the next morning, after a brief breakfast, the expedition continued its journey towards Death Valley, but this time there were more than a dozen people in custody, and most of the supplies were handed over to them.
At first, they thought it was not good, but suddenly they didn't have to bear the weight, and everyone walked happily, and that little conscience was all thrown away......
It didn't take long for the green valley in front of me to be visible, and there were several tents in front of it.
"That bug won't still be there, will it?" Dai Tiande asked Uncle Tashi.
"That insect is afraid of the cold, and now that the sun has come out, it has naturally left." Uncle Tashi said with a dry cigarette.
When everyone heard this, they were relieved and continued to walk towards the tent.
The ground was full of messes, and the blood stains were clearly visible, but whether it was the corpse of a wolf or a human, it had disappeared without a trace at this time.
Of course, it didn't disappear out of thin air, many clear animal footprints could be seen on the sand, and it was not difficult to imagine what Xia Rong encountered here after they fled.
"It's the footprints of a snow leopard." Uncle Tashi said after examining it.
"And snow leopards here?"
"What's so strange about this, there are tigers in the canyon!" Uncle Tashi disagreed, and then said, "Hurry up and pack your things, we will soon go inside." ”
Summer in the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain is the most dangerous time of the year, and the weather here can change faster than changing faces, and every time it will be accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Looking past from the periphery. I saw dark clouds over this valley, and thunder and lightning flashing under the clouds.
"Turn off your phones, computers, and better take out the batteries. The valley is a thunderstorm-intensive area, especially at this time of summer, when the dense thunder and lightning can be deadly at any time, and growing taller is a burden. Uncle Tashi commanded.
Everyone was speechless, but for the sake of their own lives, they still turned off the power of an electronic device according to their words.
The sky was not beautiful, and the expedition had just entered the Valley of Death when a hazy drizzle fell from the sky. Although the rain is not heavy. But it made the temperature drop suddenly, and it was extremely cold on the body.
What frightened everyone even more was the dense thunder and lightning that fell from the sky, and even one of them slashed into a tree next to them.
Su found that although the valley was densely wooded, none of them grew tall, and even if there were, they were dead trees. In the valley of death, the trees that grow taller are undoubtedly equal to the period of death, because of the lightning channeling. Dead wood is everywhere.
"This route is the lowest-lying part of the valley and the thunder and lightning are already the least. Blindly walk in and encounter thunder, sixty percent will be struck by lightning. When I brought in a team of researchers, they didn't listen. As a result, one was hacked to death, charred and black, like coals. Uncle Tashi said.
"Uncle Tashi, don't be scary." One of the members of the expedition said in horror.
The hearts of others also sank. The thunder and lightning rumbled overhead, and the majestic power of the sky overwhelmed them, and Uncle Tashi's words naturally sounded a little unlucky and scary.
Sue was also most scared. Of course he is afraid of death, if God accidentally slashes down, everything will be finished, even if he has the help of God's feet, it will not help, no matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as lightning.
"It's not to scare you, it's just to let you know that it's dangerous, don't run around." Uncle Tashi was serious, and then gave an example: "More than ten years ago, I brought in a scientific expedition team from a country, and they studied that the magnetic field in this place is very large, hundreds of times the normal one, so it attracts lightning, and if you are not careful, you will be struck by lightning. ”
Saying that, Uncle Tashi knelt down and bowed wholeheartedly to the front, and Hans next to him also looked like him.
In such an environment, everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, and even the impulse to imitate it. Humanity's innate fear of nature seems to have never changed.
"If we knew earlier, we wouldn't have tied them up, let them come in by themselves, let them be struck by lightning, and we would have saved the psychological burden, and now we kidnap them as if we were saving people." Sue found the most words to break the silence in the team.
"Click...... Bang ......"
As soon as Su Shi's words fell, a flash of lightning suddenly slashed down from the air, and it slashed at a tree more than ten meters away from him. Not only were they temporarily deaf in their ears, but the electricity in the air also paralyzed their bodies for a while, and they survived the catastrophe.
"Haha, boy, you have done too much evil, God will accept you!" Xia Rong laughed, he only regretted that the thunder didn't split Su Zhi. In his opinion, God should accept this little bastard.
The few people standing next to Su heard this, and they also walked away intentionally or unintentionally.
"Fuck you!" Su scolded the most, but he was really a little worried in his heart, he didn't seem to be a good person, or what kind of heavenly lone star, it didn't seem strange to be struck by thunder......
"Don't you say a word, didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense when you enter here?" Uncle Tashi scolded.
At this time, the sky was big, the tour guide was the largest, and Xia Rong and Su were no longer silent.
Maybe it's because of the rain, the canyon is quiet, except for the sound of rain is thunder, the air is full of oppressive breath, which makes people feel heavy inexplicably, unwilling and afraid to speak at will, even if they make a sound, they are also low-voiced.
At noon, the expedition team came to a river, and when they saw the clear water, everyone couldn't help but cheer. Yesterday and this morning, I ate dry food, and although I filled my stomach, I was also very uncomfortable.
"This is the Churak Arakan River, the source of which is a glacier, and it can be said that the water flowing here is all glacial water, and the water is rich in aquatic products. But this section of the river is too treacherous for us to go down and fish. Uncle Tashi introduced.
In a place like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there are oases, rivers, and beautiful scenery, which is really rare. During this time, I have been facing the yellow sand of the desert, and now when I come to such a place, I suddenly look a little crazy.
"Uncle Tashi, you can't go down to fish, we can decorate and cook it, right? And we don't have enough water. The expedition asked.
"Of course, we can rest here at noon, make some food, and fill the water bag with water, and we still have a long way to go." Uncle Tashi allowed it.
These words made everyone cheer, and they began to actively get busy when they unloaded their equipment, and the dry food was simply difficult to eat
