Ah Kin looked listless.

Since he had worked together before and was more familiar with the hunters, the guide job of this trip to the Miasma Valley naturally fell to him again.

Although he has been there countless times, it is no problem to say that he is one of the few people in the research base who are most familiar with the Valley of Miasma.

But sure enough, I still don't like that place

"Hah." Ah Jian let out a long sigh.

But fortunately, he still remembered his duties, and as he hurried, he introduced weakly: "On the whole, the structure of the Miasma Valley is like a bowl, deep in the middle and shallow in the periphery.

So, the easiest way to get into the Valley of Miasma is to go to the relatively middle of the Coral Plateau, find a chasm that leads to the valley floor, and then descend through the ropes.

We're going to this is just such a drop-off point.

Well, in fact, there are other ways to go down, but it is more physically demanding, after all, we are so weak."

The hunters tugged at the corners of their mouths, they were almost used to this guy's wizened character.

There are quite a few terrestrial coral plateau wind drifters, and it is very dangerous to ride a pterodactyl, and walking is almost the only option.

Under the guidance of Ah Kin, the hunters and his party spent several days in front of a cliff in the central area of the land coral plateau.

"That's where we go in and out the most." Ah Kin unloaded a large bundle of sturdy and heavy ropes from his body and got busy.

When Gordon saw him come to a wooden wheel mounted on the edge of a cliff, he asked with some surprise, "Is there such a lifting device?" ”

Ah Jian fixed the rope on the runner and said, "Originally, there was none, and at that time, only those of us who were a little younger could go down to the Valley of Miasma.

It's easy to slide down, but you have to climb up the rope for a few hundred meters, and those hundreds of years old grandparents can't bear it. ”

"Yes."

"With this wheel, at least it's much easier to come up, and people hang on the rope like salted fish, and then two people are arranged to shake it up, well.

According to the group leader, she also plans to install an automatic lifting device driven by a windmill, but unfortunately there are not enough people and materials at the moment, and there are no craftsmen who can make that kind of thing, so she can only put it on hold for the time being.

Maybe there will be a chance in the future. ”

Anhill, who knew some mechanical knowledge, looked at the rough hand-cranked wheel on the edge of the cliff and did not speak.

The kind of lifting device that the head of the third phase of the regiment said is not complicated.

Compared to the waterwheel cable car that has just started construction at the Xingchen base, it can only be regarded as a simple small project, and as long as Xingchen sends a team of craftsmen, it can be manufactured in a few days.

Unfortunately, the existence of the Grand Canyon has cut off this possibility, and scholars are left to their own.

"Occasional problematic meow!" Seeing that everyone was quickly ready to rappel, Xianglan hurriedly raised her paws and asked, "We all went down, who will pull us up after that?" ”

"Good question." Gordon smiled and said, "Guess the box, the loser climbs the rope with his bare hands, and then pulls the others up." ”

"Meow?!"

Anhill looked at the length of the rope they had brought, and said, "This should be a rope that is twice as long, and you can pull the other end of the rope to hang people up." ”

"That's right." Ah Kin said it was.

"But why not install another set of runners underneath? This makes it possible to make a simple cable car. Anhill asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ah Jian shrugged, "In the miasma environment, the wooden runner will quickly decompose and become brittle, and it won't last for two months.

The rope can't be hung here all the time, otherwise it will break quickly.

It would be nice if there was a steel cable, that one is not afraid of miasma decomposition, but unfortunately we can't get it. ”

"I see." Anhill sighed softly.

The special natural environment, the lack of industrial system, and the severance of logistics are all problems that the scholars of the third phase of the group must face.

Even the trivial matter of going up and down the valley of miasma has a lot of troubles.

After the ropes were installed, the group began to wear goggles and filter masks.

"Although I have said it many times in the past few days, I really want to emphasize again, in the valley of miasma, you can only take off your mask and goggles when you confirm that there is no miasma around, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

From now on, the entire exploration must not exceed three days, otherwise even if your body can withstand it, this rope will not be able to withstand it.

It's going to be corroded by the miasma, so we'll have to climb up with our bare hands. ”

"If something unexpected happens, and you can't get back to this rappelling point, is there any other way out of the Valley of Miasma safely?" Gordon asked through the mask, the urn sounded.

"Yes, the principle of survival is to go to the periphery."

Ah Jian nodded and said, "I also said just now that the Miasma Valley is bowl-shaped, and it is easier to climb up from the edge of the Miasma Valley, and the miasma concentration in the edge area is not high, so it is relatively safe. ”

"And."

“.”

After confirming a few more details with each other, everyone took a deep breath of the moist and fresh air of the land coral plateau, and then began to rappel.

Absolutes itself is not dangerous, but it is actually a test of courage and experience.

Naturally, there was no shortage of hunters of these two kinds, and they descended to the bottom without any danger.

Gale was an exception, and the toothhounds, heavily armed and carrying large quantities of ammunition, could not slide down on a rope the thickness of a thumb.

Fortunately, the huge pillar-like reef rocks are not too difficult for the climbing tooth hounds, and they can run down the cliffs even faster than rappelling.

"Ah, this place, it's really unliable." Releasing the rope and jumping to the ground, Gail shook his palms in an attempt to dislodge the dark yellow miasma around him.

"yes."

Anhill, who had stepped down early and stood guard with a crossbow, rarely agreed with Gail's words.

Compared to the colorful and vibrant terrestrial coral mesa, the Miasma Valley, which is only a few hundred meters vertical, is the other extreme.

It was dim, oppressive, dangerous, and the air was filled with the frowning stench of Gu.

There was not a hint of green as far as the eye could see, and there were rotting corpses and bones all around, and fat myriapods twisted and crawled around the bones and the hunters' feet.

One of them tried to climb into Gordon's boots, and he chopped them into a thick green pulp.

Anhill's face distorted for a moment when he noticed this scene, and he almost couldn't resist firing a shot at his feet.

"Sneer——!"

Not far from them, a crack in the ground suddenly erupted a thick white mist, and the hunters at first thought it was water vapor from the underground hot springs.

But when they saw a spider passing by, shrouded in the mist, struggling in the mist, curling up, and finally turning into a black and tattered mass of charcoal.

The hunters realized that it wasn't something as harmless as "water vapor".

Rather, it is a high concentration of sulfuric acid mist.

"It's meowing, this place is a hell meow?" Xianglan complained scoldingly.

Hayatta flicked its ear, but rarely did not reprimand it for swearing.

Because she herself almost burst into a foul mouth

If you ask them before you come here, what do you hate the environment of the place the most?

Some will say deserts, others will say volcanoes, and some will say swamps.

But if you ask this question now, the answer will be unprecedentedly unified.

- It's the damn valley of miasma!

Ps. Although the design is wonderful, the Valley of Miasma is definitely the last map I want to go to in all the works of the past
