Chapter 32: The Harry Mountains
The Hari Mountains, where countless towering trees grow, and the lush foliage shades the sky, making it sunless all year round.
Fallen leaves fall to the ground and pile up in a thick layer, rotting out a rancid smell.
In a dense forest, one or two predators will suddenly jump out and drag away the herbivores that forage here, and the strong and the weak in nature are vividly interpreted here.
Even more than a decade ago, when countless merchants crossed the Harry Mountains into the southwest, they still needed to hire mercenary squads to protect them from dangerous raids, not to mention that the road had been abandoned for several years.
Jiang Chuanyue's convoy was attacked by dangerous species from the beginning of its entry into the Hari Mountains, but fortunately, most of the members of the team were still passable in martial arts and did not cause any casualties.
This is not the only road connecting the imperial capital to the southwest region, but unfortunately, Jiang Chuanyue has to hurry, and he does not have time to make a big detour to avoid the dangerous mountain range of Harry, and he is confident enough in the strength of his men.
Hiss!
When the convoy was over a mountain pass, suddenly a bucket-sized python burst out of the grass like lightning, its jaw wide open, as if to swallow the leader of the convoy, a fishy smell came to the face.
It's just that when the python's body was still flying in mid-air, a snowy light flashed, and in an instant, the python flew back upside down like a straw rope and was nailed to the trunk of the tree behind it.
"It's really troublesome, we haven't even covered a third of this journey, and this seems to be the one hundred and thirty-second attack!"
The hyena patted the mount beneath him, calmed the frightened horse, and said helplessly.
Since entering the Harry Mountains, the attacks have been nothing short of tiresome, and while they didn't do much harm to the convoy, it's like a mosquito buzzing around you all day, which is annoying.
Especially on such a hot day, the air is irritable and crazy.
"It's just some flies, what's the matter, hyenas, you should learn from the black fox, you see that a girl doesn't have any complaints, why are you so angry with a big man."
"Your Excellency, you're so embarrassed to say! We rested ten times in the morning, and nine times we stopped because the black fox was going to take a bath! Anyway, you're too partial, adult! ”
"Ann la, girl, you won't hurt people at all, don't you worry about finding a wife in the future."
Facing the almost crazy gaze of the hyena, Jiang Chuanyue sat on the back of the horse and said leisurely.
"He was destined to be lonely and lonely all his life." A woman named Black Fox was very cold and mending the knife on the side.
"Hehe......"
What's wrong with a single dog? Do single dogs have no human rights? The hyena said that he was very hurt and reluctantly rode away.
It's unreasonable to talk to women and patriarchal guys.
He rode up a small hill in front of him, trying to get some fresh air, but there was no fresh air, but he took a big breath of cold air.
"It's ......!!!" The iguana's pupils shrank sharply to the size of a pintip.
Looking at the past, all the mountains ahead are not a little green! There wasn't a single tree on the mountain!
In the distance, on the mountains and mountains, all that grows is yellow wild grass!
Behind him is a lush forest, but in front of him is a desolate scene of a northern grassland!
Standing in such a strange place, on a hot day, the hyena felt a cold wind blowing over, and shivered.
"What the hell is going on?!!
Jiang Chuanyue rode past in front of the iguana, not caring about his shocked look, but looking at the desolate mountain range, frowning slightly.
Onimiao jumped off the horse, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, crushed it finely, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then scattered it on the ground, causing it to drift away with the wind.
"How? Did you find anything? ”
Ghost Miao shook her head and said in a deep voice, "The water is completely dry, and it's as if something has drained the moisture inside." ”
"Hey, Ghost Miao, don't be alarmist, why do you use the word "pump"? It's scary, why can't it be climate change that causes the emergence of this desert in front of you? ”
The iguana on the side shivered, and it could "pump" away the water vapor of half of the mountain range, what the hell is this!
"In fact, there is nothing wrong with the words of Your Excellency Ghost Miao, although I am not a professional who specializes in climate change, but I still know some common sense, and climate change cannot be done to this extent."
At some point, Dr. Fashion walked from behind, holding his glasses in his right hand, and there was something unclear in his voice.
"In other words, it is likely that this is an environmental change caused by man-made or the presence of SSS-class hazardous species in the vicinity."
"SSS-class hazard? What does this say? Jiang Chuanyue asked.
If it is artificial, Jiang Chuanyue still understands, after all, in the One Piece world, the Seven Martial Seas Klockdal has controlled the climate of a country.
In this world, since there is an emperor who can make rain, it is not surprising that there is another emperor who can control drought.
But this SSS-class dangerous species...... Jiang Chuanyue didn't understand.
"SSS-class......" Dr. Fashion looked up at the sky with a look of exclamation.
"I haven't seen it either, but a long time ago I read a document that said that everything they went through was their own domain...... Rivers become deserts and deserts become forests......"
"If the lurkers here were an SSS-class dangerous species, it might be possible to do this."
Jiang Chuanyue was silent, with a thoughtful look on her face: "If that's the case...... Forget it, let's hurry first, and wait until we go to the center of the southwest region. ”
In fact, Jiang Chuanyue felt that there was a problem here early in the morning, first of all, within the Hari Mountains, most of the people who attacked them were fire attribute dangerous species.
The problem is that this mountain range is not the kind of hot place with a crater of a hundred steps in the extreme south, where can there be so many fire attribute dangerous species?
And, if Jiang Chuanyue is not mistaken, the rebellion of the ethnic minorities in the southwest ......
