978, the endless prairie
On the last day, the third day that Yang Tianlong and his team entered the tropical rainforest, everyone got up early in the morning. After breakfast, it's time to embark on the journey.
This time the leopard still led the way in front, with the leopard leading the way, everyone was relatively smooth along the way, and finally at four o'clock in the afternoon, they walked out of this vast forest.
The vast expanse of Patrick's Prairie appeared before them, and during this season, the grass of Patrick's Prairie had stopped growing, and since it had not rained for months, the grass on the Prairie had taken on a large yellow color.
"It's a pity that there is so much forage. Walking on the prairie, Claire couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, if it were in the rainy season, there would have been a lot of animals on the grassland, but now they are all migrating. As a native of Africa, Doc is well aware of the climate and environment.
"Sir, the tall grass here is so high that the view in front of us is blocked. Even for a giant man as tall as Alexander, he couldn't help but feel that his vision was blocked.
"Bear with me, old man, just wait for you to get used to it. Yang Tianlong said as he used a firewood knife to cut off the branches of a thorn tree in front of him.
In this vast grassland, not only tall grasses grow, but other plants also compete to grow, but there are not so many of them.
This time the leopard seems to have lost itself in the grassland, after all, it is not very familiar with this grassland when it first arrives, and the real owners of this grassland are still those lions.
The leopard followed behind Yang Tianlong with a cautious face, Yang Tianlong relied on the instructions of the fierce eagle and the correction of the high-definition electronic map, and led everyone to continue to move forward.
"Guys, let's go four kilometers and there's a little hill there, and that's where we'll camp tonight. From time to time, Claire also took out a compass and a paper map to check, and he was amazed by Yang Tianlong's amazing ability to guide the way.
Claire was talking about four kilometers of grassland, but it was not convenient to walk on this grassland, especially the thorn trees and twisted plants, which became a roadblock to everyone's rapid movement.
The sun also shone hotly on their bodies, reflecting everyone's faces very hot.
It is no exaggeration to say that they would rather walk in the forest than walk on this savannah.
After walking for a kilometer, everyone could still talk and laugh a little, but then their physical strength decreased and their body temperature increased, and each of them became more or less impatient.
After Yang Tianlong slashed the obstacle in front of him for a while, he also felt that his arm was a little sore, and just now his forehead was attacked by a rebounding thorn, and a wound the size of a fingernail appeared on his forehead at once.
Alexander took the hatchet in his hand, and also slashed at the obstacle in front of him with a serious face.
"Everyone insisted that there was a cave there, and there was a water source in the cave, and we could replenish the water when we got there. Claire cheered everyone on.
As soon as they heard that there was a water source there, everyone's spirits were immediately lifted a lot, and everyone began to become stronger, and their steps began to become a little vigorous.
......
Finally, the four kilometers took them about an hour and a half, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun set, they finally reached the small hill.
The hill is not high, only more than 30 meters high, but the slope is relatively gentle, so the area occupied by the whole hill is also relatively large.
Claire was not wrong, on the side of the small hill, there was indeed a cave, and when they were at the entrance of the cave, they could faintly hear the sound of dripping water inside.
"Old man, how did you know about this cave?" Yang Tianlong asked curiously.
"I've been here. Claire laughs, "But that was more than a decade ago. ”
"Yes, no wonder you're familiar with this place, I thought you were measuring it on a satellite map. Yang Tianlong said with a smile.
"How is it possible, everything has to be experienced by yourself. Claire smiled and removed her water bottle and walked into the cave.
The depth inside the cave is actually not deep, only more than 20 meters away, but the temperature in this place has dropped a lot suddenly.
"We might be able to sleep in here at night. Alexander smiled and said.
"This is not a place to sleep, old man. Claire shook her head.
"Why? Mr. Claire, our sleeping bags are insulated. Alexander asked, puzzled.
"I'm worried that after so many years, there will definitely be herders on the grassland who will find this place, so this is not the end of our day. Claire smiled and said.
"Ah, we still have to walk?" Alexander, suddenly discouraged.
"Yes, we have to walk, but we can rest for a while, the spring water in it tastes good. As Claire spoke, everyone had already come to the spring.
Gently put their hands into the mountain spring water, and a cold and thorough feeling suddenly filled their bodies, as if they suddenly swept away the tiredness on their bodies.
Everyone is not welcome this time, after all, they have been exposed to the scorching sun for two hours, and their drinking water is not much, so with this mountain spring water, it is natural to drink it happily.
Yang Tianlong was no exception, he sank his kettle to the bottom of the spring, and bubbles bubbled out of the mouth of the kettle, and after a while, a large pot of sweet mountain spring water was filled.
Everyone drank beautifully inside, and then sat down one after another.
"Is everyone in?" Claire couldn't help but look inside.
"I'll see. Seeing that Claire didn't seem to know much about the person they came back, Yang Tianlong couldn't help but stand up.
"Where's Dock?" Soon, Yang Tianlong found out that Dock was not in this cave.
"Dock, Dock......" Seeing that Dock was not inside, Alexander hurriedly stood up and called him.
"I'm here. As soon as Alexander called, Doc ran in in a panic.
"Boss, there are ten heavily armed men outside less than 200 meters away from us. Doc said with a panicked expression.
