Chapter 210: Desert Death Valley

Wild Leek, who came to his senses, is very sorry for yesterday's behavior. Seeing Xhaka's splinting arm felt even more remorseful.

Every day, he brought a few fresh spiders to visit Zack, along with some wild fruits and bananas - spiders and bananas are the most precious ingredients for the monkey people. It is equivalent to wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, lobster, king crab or something in later generations.

Wild Leek and Zach have become good friends, and men don't know each other like this.

"What do you Soya people look like when they are extremely angry? Will your hair and eyebrows suddenly turn blonde and your strength is countless times greater?" Wang Xika asked Cabbage and Wild Leeks curiously, legend has it that Saiyans will turn into Super Sayya when they are extremely angry.

"I've never heard of it, it feels unlikely. Cabbage said honestly. "When we're so angry, we turn into giant apes – you've seen it all, like wild leeks. The best thing about Sawa is that after becoming a giant ape, he can still keep his sanity like me."

"Have you never had a situation where your hair turned yellow when you were extremely angry?" Wang Xika asked carefully.

"No, we're all black-haired. If you want your hair to turn yellow, it's as simple as swimming in the river for a day or sticking your head in the mud and it will turn yellow. ”

Cabbage felt that Wang Xijia's problem was strange - in the Soya community, yellow hair means that he is malnourished or does not like to wash his hair, which is a very buried thing. Who would make their hair yellow?

"Do you have any great elders in your clan, or any old sayings left by your ancestors, such as legends about Super Saiyans or something?"

"There is no such legend. The old saying from our ancestors is not to drink. Cabbage shook her head, it didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need for him to lie.

Wang Xijia lived in the monkey camp for a few days and found that these Sawyas did not look like "Super Saiyans" in the comics, except for their ability to become monkeys and their special hairstyles.

Maybe the Saiyans are indeed like this, but they have been artistically processed by cartoonists to become invincible beings in the universe in comics.

Maybe it's not so easy to become a Super Saiyan, and even the planet Vegeta, where Saiyans live in the manga, hasn't had a Super Saiyan for a long, long time.

Kakarot (Monkey King) in the comics also became a Super Saiyan after years of martial arts training and was able to master martial arts such as "Turtle School Qigong" and "Genki Bomb". Even in the comics, the vast majority of Saya people just live an ordinary life, and then they are killed by Frieza.

I felt that I couldn't find any clues to the Super Saiyan in the camp, and Zack's injuries were almost healed. Wang Xijia decided to continue the journey.

Everyone said goodbye to cabbage and wild leeks, got on the raft and continued to swim downstream. This time, Wang Xijia planned to go ashore in the desert of Arizona, pass through the desert and then travel to what would become Mexico, exploring parts of Central and South America.

The monkeys howled loudly in the canyon to see off Wang Xijia and his gang. This time, no one threw mud clods and played pranks. The long ape chirp is like a moving symphony.

"Look, I'm just saying that Monkey Man Camp doesn't mean much, right? Broke one of the Zack brothers' hand for nothing. Blackback said.

"No, I think it's kind of funny. Wang Xijia replied.

Indeed, travel is just that. Good or bad, it's all a life experience, isn't life just a journey?

The Colorado River splits into two tributaries, one that continues west from California to the sea, and one that flows deeper into the Solano Desert in Arizona.

Wang Xijia is going to the Solano Desert, which he intends to cross to Central and South America. Blackback said he wasn't going with him, he was going to California to visit his friends, so everyone said goodbye.

Although the Solano Desert is known as a desert, it is different from the Taklamakan Desert in Eurasia and the Sahara Desert in northern Africa, where there is really nothing but sand.

The Solano Desert is quite rich in flora and fauna, the most famous is the large cactus, and many shrubs grow. This is because the Solano Desert is close to the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean, so it receives more precipitation – as a desert, it has two rainy seasons, storms from the Pacific Ocean in the winter and summer monsoons in the summer.

Therefore, there are few places in this desert where all yellow sand does not rain all year round, and most areas have many oases.

This is also the reason why Wang Xijia has the confidence to cross this desert. If it were in the Taklamakan or the Sahara or the deserts of the Middle East, he would never have crossed it.

Buffalo Bill couldn't walk in the desert for a few minutes, so Wang Xika released Buffalo Bill and told him to go back to the north to find his companions. The best means of transportation in the desert is camels, because they are more resistant to hunger and thirst, but there are no camels in the Americas, but fortunately, you can also ride dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are similar to lizards, and although they don't have camel stamina, they can hold on a bit. Originally, Zack said that he wanted to find a Tyrannosaurus rex for Wang Xika to ride, but Wang Xika didn't really want to ride a Tyrannosaurus rex, so he got a Triceratops as a mount and fed some cacti every day.

Cacti are native to the Americas, and there are countless species of cacti, some large and some small. This thing gets rid of the thorns on it, and not only animals like to eat it, but people also like to eat it. It is fragrant and refreshing, a bit like the taste of aloe vera.

In later life, it is easy for people to get lost in the desert without some tools such as compasses. But the blood fangs, Lang Naduo, and these transformers have a strong sense of direction, so they don't have to worry about getting lost.

In addition, there are some large and small rivers and oases in the desert, and you can follow the water source all the way to the south. Bloodfang, the gray beaver, although the territory is large, but it is mainly active in North America, and has not been to the south much.

Wang Xijia is interested in the Aztec Empire and the Mayan Empire in Central and South America, especially the Mayan Empire, which is said to have developed technology and made many predictions, such as the end of the world in 2012.

Then there were people who found crystal skulls in the Mayan settlement, which is also a very magical thing, and there were people who found storage batteries in Mayan ruins, and spaceships found on Mayan murals......

Some of these things are nonsense of stall literature, and some are serious archaeological research. In short, there are some true and false. What is certain is that the Mayan architectural civilization was well developed.

The pyramids and temples of the Maya are all beautifully built, similar to the pyramids of Egypt, and the sculptures are also very distinctive, known as the Greece of the Americas.

Moreover, the Mayan mathematical and astronomical calendar is very powerful, it is said that the Mayan calendar can calculate what will happen in the past and the future, and the famous 2012 prophecy is also calculated by the Mayan civilization.

In later generations, the Mayan civilization strangely disappeared, and there are different theories about the reasons for their disappearance: climate change, foreign invasions, population/explosions, diseases, etc., and some people say that the Mayan civilization is an alien civilization, and later collectively returned to their home planet in a spaceship......

Anyway, in the era before Wang Xijia crossed over, the Mayan civilization had long since disappeared, and everyone could make it up as they wanted. But in this era, the Maya still existed, and it was just the right time to find out.

Although Bloodfang and Grey Beaver have never been to the territory of the Maya, after all, everyone is mixed in the American continent, and they have heard a little bit of it.

In their mouths, the Mayans and the Aztecs were "southerners", and southerners had a lot of bells and whistles. They also want to follow along.

But to get to Central and South America, you have to cross this Solano desert. In fact, it is okay to go back to New York and come directly by boat, but Wang Xika prefers to cross directly by land.

Walking in the desert can be a joy if you have enough supplies.

In later generations, there was a song called "Desert Camel", which described this desert feeling very well: the yellow sand swept through the sky, walking all over every corner. Walking in the endless galaxy......

In fact, deep in Wang Xijia's heart, there have always been some "desert plots". I want to ride a camel on the yellow sand, and the sun is setting, showing the desolation. This may have something to do with the fact that he grew up watching movies like the New Dragon Gate Inn.

Nowadays there are no camels, but it is not bad to have dinosaurs to ride. Wang Xijia named his mount Cullinan, which means Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

And Cullinan is indeed very smooth, and the ride experience is very good. Except for the fact that he would be a little flustered at the sight of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But on this day, Cullinan came to a canyon and refused to go any further, even if he was strained by the fierce and did not move half a step.

"There's Death Valley in front, and animals can't get out if they go in. It doesn't move. Bloodtooth explained.

"Death Valley?" Wang Xijia seemed to be familiar with the name. In the past, I often heard about Death Valley, a place as magical as the Bermuda Delta.

It is said that any creature that enters the valley of death cannot get out, and the place is a bit evil. However, according to the research of later scientists, Death Valley is nothing more than a relatively water-scarce and arid part of the Solano Desert.

The valley has such an ominous name because in 1849 a gold rush team passed through the valley and many people died. The living left with the words "Goodbye Death Valley" (Goodbye, Death Valley), and the name Death Valley has spread ever since, like most gossip.

Of course, there are some strange sights in Death Valley, such as the fact that sometimes large rocks in the desert slide naturally, leaving a long trail on the dry lake bed. It looks as if stones have life.

Modern scientists have discovered that the reason why the stones slide here is because it sometimes rains, which makes the sand wet. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and it freezes in winter. In this way, when the wind blows, the large rocks slide on the ice. When the sun comes out and the ice melts, it leaves a trail of sliding.

The ancients didn't know why, so they thought that there was a devil controlling these stones. This is due to ignorance.

The reason why Cullinan is reluctant to enter Death Valley is because, as an animal, it does not seem to deviate from the water channel. Wang Xika fed it two cans of water, and it slowly followed everyone into Death Valley.
