Chapter 93: Valley of Flames
When it comes to canyons, the first thing that Chinese people think of is the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, which ranks first in the world.
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the roof of the world, there are two world's best: one is the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, and the other is the world's deepest and longest river canyon, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The high peaks and deep valleys are close to each other, and the strong topographic contrast of nearly 10,000 meters constitutes a magnificent landscape that can be called the first in the world.
With an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters, the Brahmaputra River is the highest river in the world. Its lower reaches surround the highest peak at the eastern end of the Himalayas, forming a peculiar horseshoe-shaped bend that cuts a huge 504-kilometer-long canyon on the Tibetan Plateau. With an average depth of 2,268 meters and a maximum depth of 6,009 meters, the canyon is undoubtedly the largest canyon in the world. The Grand Canyon of Colorado in the United States and the Colca Canyon in Peru were once ranked as the best in the world, but neither of them can compete with the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon.
Zhao Hao once saw pictures of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon on the Internet and was deeply shocked. And now, his shock surpassed that of the past, and the Grand Canyon, which could not be explained by science, could not be explained by science as far as the eye could see, and its area and depth exceeded that of any Grand Canyon on earth, and the first human beings who came here would be shocked by the spectacle for the first time.
The ice and snow that had accumulated for countless years melted at the edge of the canyon, forming a long and winding river. The river is flanked by peaks of varying heights, as well as oddly shaped flatlands with unknown plants growing in some places.
In the deepest part of the canyon, there is also a volcano towering into the sky.
This is the Valley of Flames, another place in the Evolution World where humans gather.
The overall shape of the Valley of Flames resembles a gourd.
The local evolutionary called the first half of the gourd the outer valley and the second half the inner valley.
The biggest difference between the inner and outer valleys is something that many evolutionaries rely on to survive: minerals.
The feng shui of this giant canyon is very strange, the outer valley has not excavated a single mine hole so far, while the inner valley has been excavated as many as 100 mining pits, and there are more than a dozen large mines that can accommodate thousands of people to enter and excavate.
Zhao Hao enjoyed the scenery in the outer valley, observed the terrain by the way, and understood the situation. In his field of vision, the outer and inner valleys resemble an Arabic letter "8", where they are connected very narrowly, but they are 100 meters long. This kind of entrance, one man is not open, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be called an excellent defensive fortress in military terms.
A hot wind blew, and the snow lion became increasingly restless.
This snow mount survives in the ice and snow all its life, and is very unadapted to hot weather.
Zhao Hao came back to his senses from the magical natural landscape, and he was already sweating profusely.
The Valley of Flames and the Ice Plains are obviously very different places.
The average temperature on the ice sheet is more than minus 30 degrees.
The average temperature in the Valley of Flames is over 30 degrees Celsius.
Especially in the middle of the day, the maximum temperature in the Valley of Flames can exceed 40 degrees.
Zhao Hao, who was wearing that set of snow lion leather armor, was suddenly so hot that he took off his hat and gloves, still sweating profusely. This feeling is like the weather in July and August, without turning on the air conditioner, wearing a down jacket and covering two quilts...... It's sour, I don't want it.
"Strange, don't the Immortal Boots have the special effect of [Fire and Water Invulnerability]?"
Zhao Hao looked at the pair of boots on his feet, and a question mark flashed in his mind.
Those mid-level mutant combat boots clearly stated that water and fire are invulnerable, Zhao Hao thought that wearing this kind of shoes would not be afraid of cold or heat, but the real situation was very slap in the face, just look at the big sweat rolling down his forehead.
In desperation, he had to change his equipment.
The random special effect of the Healing Ring failed to trigger, and his internal injuries were relatively serious, and he was barely suppressed by the Nine Heavens. This situation is not good, Zhao Hao is very difficult to even practice the mad battle knife technique, and the meridians are in severe pain as soon as he exerts his strength. In other words, with his current physical condition, an average rare evolutionary could pose a threat to him.
Under this premise, Zhao Ritian decided not to show his wealth and be a low-key person.
The terrain in the outer valley was uneven and full of obstacles, so he found a hidden place, changed into a T-shirt he hadn't worn in months, changed into a pair of jeans, and put on his basketball shoes.
From head to toe was low-key, Zhao Hao still felt that it was not enjoyable, and took out Bi Dejin's hiking bag again, and put some canned food and mineral water bottles in it, and finally he included the healing ring and lionheart ring, as well as the pet red panda into the sea of knowledge.
At first glance, this thing looks like a pink newcomer who has just come to the world of evolution.
Holding the artificial nighthawk flat blade to show off a knife flower, Zhao Hao took out the mirror and looked at his own appearance, and suddenly said to himself happily: "Why, why do I have an inexplicable pleasure of pretending?" ”
Amusing himself for a while, he strode towards the inner valley.
According to Qin Sheng, who has been here for a few months, the overall environment of the Flame Valley is relatively harmonious, and the relationship between the ancient martial artists and ordinary evolutionaries is also harmonious, if it weren't for the fact that the weather is too hot, it would basically be called an evolutionary's paradise like the Endless Forest. Of course, even in the endless forest, there are still black eating black, there are still strong people preying on the weak, and some genes in human bones will not change, especially under the premise of no legal constraints.
A hundred meters away from the entrance of the inner valley, Zhao Hao suddenly felt alarmed.
After cultivating to the fifth layer of the Nine Heavens, his skyrocketing perception came into play again.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and three tall horses were galloping towards the entrance of the first line of heaven.
The three people on horseback, Zhao Hao is no stranger. The man wearing the helmet in the middle is none other than Jiawen among the Three Musketeers of the Prairie, the man holding the spear on the left is Zhao Xin, and the man on the right carrying the big sword is Galen.
It seems that this is not the first time that the three have come to the Valley of Flames, and they are familiar with the road, talking and laughing. Every time they come to the Flame Valley to do business, the three are in a very good mood, because the flame crystals they buy here can be sold for five times the price when they return to the Bloody Grassland.
"Haha, wait until I see the knife, I'm going to find him again to learn swordsmanship!" Galen laughed.
"Fool, let me remind you again, he's using a knife." Zhao Xin said coldly.
"You just like to pick out words, in my eyes, the knife and sword you are talking about, they are both sword, there is no difference!" Galen coaxed that in the concept of foreigners, the word sword covers a wide range, including the famous egg knife in World of Warcraft, which is also defined as a sword.
After arguing all the way, the three of them arrived at the entrance.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout.
“Don't- move, put -down- your- weapon! (Don't move, lay down your arms)"
With a foreign sentence, a team of heavily armed fierce men rushed out.
This group of exactly thirty men is about the strength of a platoon in a modern army.
Their styling is a bit spicy to the eyes.
I saw that those people were wearing camouflage uniforms, and there were no signs on their clothes, so I couldn't tell which country's troops they were. Their faces were also painted with camouflage, and their faces were blurred, and it could only be judged from the outline that the group of soldiers included whites, blacks, and yellows, which was quite an international mercenary.
All of them were armed with M4A1 assault rifles and USB pistols with 45ACP bullets pinned to their waists.
"Hahahaha!"
The Three Musketeers of the Prairie looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhao Hao, who was watching from the dark, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he used a hot weapon to deal with a mutated powerhouse like the grassland three cheap in the evolution world, he really wanted to ask those soldiers: what-are-you-what?
