86. The Great Rift Valley

Yang Wu didn't know about the changes in the governments of various countries, but he had a sense of crisis that always hung in his heart.

This group of wildebeest Yang Wu spent three days hunting cleanly, and the light in his body was even more dazzling, but unfortunately it was not enough!

It doesn't matter if it's not enough, keep hunting, here is the wildebeest!

So after hunting the wildebeest herd, Yang Wu continued to look for the next group, but he was afraid of being discovered by others, so he deliberately chose a difficult path to walk, although it was much safer, but the speed was somewhat affected.

The Great Rift Valley is the largest fault zone on the world's continent and looks like a giant scar from satellite photos.

The Great Rift Valley is known as the "scar of the earth".

When you cross the Indian Ocean and enter the equator of the East African continent by plane, you can see a huge "knife mark" on the ground when you look down from the window, which is the famous "Great Rift Valley", also known as the "Grand Canyon of East Africa".

According to measurements by US spacecraft, the Great Rift Valley widens at a rate of a few millimeters to tens of millimeters per year. Some scientists predict that if this rate continues, it will tear apart into a new continent in 200 million years. This large rift valley, which is equivalent to 1/6 of the circumference of the earth, is the largest rift zone in the world, and some people vividly call it "a big scar on the surface of the earth".

The entire shape of the Great Rift Valley can be drawn as an irregular triangle, the valley is tens to 200 kilometers wide and 1,000 to 2,000 meters deep, the east branch of the rift valley starts from the mouth of the Shire River in the south, passes through Lake Malawi, runs through the central East African Plateau and the central Ethiopian Plateau in the north, and reaches the northern end of the Red Sea, with a total length of about 5,800 kilometers; Lake Mobutu and other lakes to the White Nile Valley in Sudan, with a total length of more than 1,700 kilometers, is the longest discontinuous valley in the world, named by the explorer John Walter Gugri.

The location of the Great Friction Valley is described in three triangular points: the south point is at the mouth of the Mozambique estuary, the northwest point is as far as the Jordan River in Sudan, and the north point has access to the Dead Sea. There are quite a few lakes and volcanic groups in between.

The Great Rift Valley is a natural reservoir that concentrates most of Africa's lakes, with more than 30 in total.

Half a day later, Yang Wu came to the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, which is hundreds of kilometers deep.

Yang Wu thought about it, since he wanted to hide, was it a good way to enter the bottom of the rift and move forward?!

So, he chose a place that was easier than him, but still very steep.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bottomless abyss below, and on the cliff wall, there are raised rocks for Yang Wu to step on and borrow.

People say that "it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down", compared to the cliff, this sentence is more true, there are many freehand climbers in the world who dare to climb one unfamiliar cliff after another, but none of them dare to try to climb down the cliff with bare hands!

Yang Wu is now performing a bare-handed cliff.

I saw that he stretched out his sharp claws that were more than ten centimeters long and grabbed the rock crack, and the back half of his body slowly descended, and there was a raised rock three meters below for Yang Wu to fall, so one of his two hind claws tightly buckled the rock crack, and the other slowly descended for a distance and then buckled.

Yang Wu's limbs were all moving like this, and he could be seen descending at a uniform speed.

He is easier to climb than humans, because his body is very coordinated, flexible, and agile, and his claws are sharp enough to hold the rock crevices, and he can use the upper force, unlike humans who have to borrow their hooks to grasp the rock crevices.

"Bang!"

A slight sound reverberated through the deep valley, and Yang Wu had already jumped onto the stone below.

Although this rock wall is not too steep, its angle still reaches 100 degrees, 90 degrees is vertical, and 100 degrees is not much worse, so Yang Wu must be careful.

The rock wall has become very slippery because of the rain for many years, and there are moss and other plants, so Yang Wu can only stab into the rock if he wants to fasten it, so it is a little laborious.

Moreover, some rocks are very brittle, and they are easy to buckle if they are not careful, and Yang Wu uses his hind claws to probe whether they are strong or not every time he takes the next step.

From early morning to noon, Yang Wu finally went down to the bottom of the valley, because of the existence of miasma, so there was no light of day here all year round, and it was a little gloomy and dark.

With Yang Wu's eyesight, it is not difficult to see the surroundings clearly, and the plants here are gray-black and not green, because they cannot photosynthesize.

There is a river down here, and the water is still flowing, so it doesn't smell like a stinky ditch, it's still very clear.

"Poof!"

Yang Wu plunged into the river from a twenty-meter-high rock block, and he felt a cold and piercing feeling!

The river here does not see sunlight all year round, and the temperature is very low, Yang Wu, who suddenly entered the water, was a little uncomfortable, and he felt that his goosebumps came out.

"Hurry ashore! It's too cold!"

Yang Wu thought about starting to act immediately, he had been here for a long time, and the cold air was easy to enter the body, if Yang Wu hadn't cared much about it before, after all, there was the existence of the source of life, which could be used to warm up at any time, and now he couldn't see a little bit of the source of life, and a little bit of it was swallowed, so he didn't dare to wave it anymore.

Ma Suo climbed ashore, he shook the water on his head and body, and the slightly shriveled hair stood up.

There was darkness under the Great Rift Valley, and although it didn't limit his vision, it still had some effect.

The water at the valley floor is extremely fast, and all the banks of the valley floor are washed so narrow that there is just enough for an elephant to walk alone.

The Great Rift Valley runs north-south, and it just so happens that Yang Wu can use it to advance to the northernmost part of the Masai Mara, which is now a gathering place of life, where almost sixty or seventy percent of the wildebeest and zebra herds are located.
