Three days later, over Australia in the southern hemisphere, looking at the endless desert below, Wang Lung couldn't help frowning.

The area where the two brothers provided Wang Lung's Earth Guardian is the desert of Australia, which was told to Wang Lung before leaving, and they can only give a general range, and the specific location still needs to be explored by Wang Lung.

Wang Lung shook his head and said: "Three days ago, I said to eat something before leaving, at that time I had just finished refining Pei Yuan Dan, I didn't close my eyes for three months, I was physically and mentally exhausted, I wanted to take a break, at that time I asked you to calculate the location of the Earth Guardian, but what do you tell me, the Australian desert, do you know how big the desert is in this broken place?"

He nodded and said: "We naturally know this, there are as many as eleven deserts in this country, accounting for twenty percent of the land area of the entire country, in fact, this is already good, it is better to be sure of this range than if you run around the earth." ”

Wang Lung rolled his eyes and said, "If you're ruthless, can you tell me what this place is? What are the secrets of the endless desert, and Arlinn, the guardian of the earth, probably wouldn't have chosen such a barren place for no reason." ”

He sighed lightly and said: "Xiaolong, you don't know the law of the earth, do you know the way, there is a saying that says, 'the earth carries the four elements', which means that the soil can melt the other four elements, and there is another saying, that is, 'all things die in the earth' and 'the earth is the mother of all things'."

"I've heard that the earth is the mother of all things, does this have anything to do with the fact that this place may be the seat of the Earth's guardian?"

He shook his head and said, "It seems that you still don't understand, let me ask you, what do you think is the difference between the species here and other places?"

"Species?" Wang Lung looked down at the endless yellow sand carefully, and continued: "It's dry and rainless here, and the sky is full of yellow sand, and even if there are plants, it's pitiful. It can only be said to be barren. ”

Yi Ha Lu said with a smile: "Barren, Xiaolong, you are very wrong, do you know that there are many species here, more than the tropical rainforests of South America, don't be blinded by the scene in front of you." ”

I heard this say. Wang Lung looked at this desert again, his eyes were full of yellow sand, there were no towering trees, only a few vegetation, and suddenly Wang Lung thought of something, and said in surprise: "I remember, this place also has another name, it seems to be called a desert garden, someone has done research on this place for more than 30 years. ”

He nodded and said, "Not bad." The soil of this desert can be said to have no nutrients at all, and the aura is also terrible, but here, thousands of different species still grow, and this is just plants, and there are many other species. ”

"Even so, it doesn't mean that this is the place where the Earth Guardian is located, but there are many species here. But it feels too barren, if I had to choose. I'd rather choose the rainforests of South America. ”

sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, I can't tell you clearly, but you'll understand later, since you've arrived here, let's go down and have a look." ”

Wang Lung nodded helplessly, he really didn't understand what secrets existed in this place. The Guardian is willing to hide in the desert, and from the name of the Earth Guardian, Arlinn's name is clearly a woman, and the desert and women are not connected at all.

After leaving the aircraft, Wang Lung and his two brothers fell to the ground. Looking around, in addition to the yellow sand in the sky, there are some scattered stones, and occasionally plants fall into view, their colors are actually different, rarely green, very gorgeous.

Listening to the whirring sound of the wind in his ears, Wang Lung turned his head to look at Yi, and asked: "Where do we find it first, there are as many as eleven pieces of the Australian desert, across the whole of Australia, this is not the American Death Valley, you can still find it for hundreds of kilometers, this is the fourth largest desert on the earth, if you wander around like a headless fly, don't think about leaving here in a year or two." ”

"I naturally know this, we have listed a few possible places, you can take a look, judging by your experience, that place is the most likely. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silk paper with his backhand and spread it on the ground.

Seeing this, Wang Lung smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's about the same, it's better to have a place to choose from than to run around, come, I'll take a look." ”

As he spoke, Wang Lung squatted down and looked at the silk paper on the ground, which listed a few places, which were completely different from what he had imagined.

"Alice Springs, Valley of the Kings, Ayers Rock, Olga Stonehenge, Ghost Lake, is there any mistake, just these five places, and four of them I have heard of, they seem to be tourist attractions, you don't want to come to play, and this Alice Springs, it seems to be a city, how can Arlinn's predecessors live in the city?"

Facing Wang Lung's questioning, he said unhurriedly: "These five places are still collected by us by ourselves, to be honest, if it weren't for the lack of information at hand, we wouldn't have chosen these five places, the desert is a place for the civilians of the earth, and the information left is too little, you have to be prepared in your heart, it is possible that none of these five places are any, if this is the case, you can only walk through the entire desert and look for it little by little." ”

"I ...... Well, let's talk about why you chose these five places, there is always a reason. Wang Lung asked.

Nodding his head, he slowly began to introduce these five places, and after listening to it, Wang Lung realized that what he said made some sense.

According to Ichi, Arlinn's predecessor is different from other guardians, she has a strong sense of belonging and responsibility, and at the same time, she likes to experience life among civilians, these are all rumors that the two brothers have heard from the miracle space, and they have no way of judging whether it is accurate or not.

Alice Springs was chosen because of this, although Alice Springs is a Northern Territory city, but it is the largest gathering place of Aboriginal Australians, Australia has a history of only one or two hundred years, when the British did not discover this continent, it was originally a group of indigenous people living here, and later white people occupied this continent, but the struggle between Aboriginal people and white people has never stopped.

Arlinn, as the guardian of the earth, cannot participate in the fight between the civilians, but as the guardian of this place, Arlinn cannot be among the white people, and the local natives are Arlinn's people, after all, Arlinn has been guarding these natives for nearly a million years.

Choosing Alice Springs wasn't about letting Wang Lung go to that city. Instead, he ventures into the Native tribes to find Arlinn's whereabouts.

Although the terrain of the Valley of the Kings is not a desert, that place can be described as a haven in the desert, and its plant species are as many as six or seven hundred species, and most of the animals that are difficult to see in the desert inhabit this place. Not to mention that it has existed for millions of years.

Ayers Rock, this place is no stranger to the civilians on the earth, a very huge monolithic ore that can change color, it changes color every day with time, very weird, if you say so, it is nothing, but Ayers Rock has its own name in the mouth of the local natives: Uluru, which means the mother of the land.

Oga Tepe is located not far from Ayers Rock and is made up of thirty-six domed boulders. This place was not intended to be included in the selection ranks, but he saw from some pictures that the arrangement and combination of the thirty-six stone pillars actually met some forbidden arrangements, so he guessed that the Oga Stone Tepe was probably used by the indigenous people for sacrifices, and it was possible to have a simple communication with Arlinn's seniors, after all, Arlinn's predecessors were different from others, and liked to mingle among the commoners.

Ghost Lake, on the other hand, compared to the other four options. It's even more weird, according to the data. The ghost lake is a seasonal lake, where it comes and goes, the area changes greatly, and now it may have been an ocean in the past, and if you go again next year, there may be no trace, when the ghost lake appeared. The fact that the lake was ten times more salty than the sea, and the location of the ghost lake in the middle of the desert and the lowest point in the entire continent made it a choice.

After listening to Ichi's explanation. Wang Lung pondered for a long time before he asked, "Which of you has seen Arlinn?" Seeing that both of them shook their heads, Wang Lung continued: "If you haven't seen it, then you don't have to go to Alice Spring, and it's in vain to go." ”

One asked, "What about the other four places, where do you choose to go?"

Wang Lung looked down at the silk paper on the ground, and said slowly: "Let's go to Ayers Rock first, didn't you say that the local natives call it the Mother of the Land? Since Arlinn is the guardian of the earth, it has something to do with her, and Ayers Rock and Oga Stonehenge are very close, so you can see the two places together." ”

The empty interface asked, "Then why don't you choose Ghost Lake and Imperial Valley?"

Wang Lung said: "Ghost Lake, it's just a saltwater lake, Australia's desert climate is very hot, it is normal for the lake to be evaporated, as long as it rains, it will be full, although the shape is a little special, but don't forget, there are many strange terrains on the earth, this is nothing unusual." ”

Seeing that one of them nodded, Wang Lung continued: "As for the Valley of the Kings, it may be a pure land, according to what you said, it may be a place opened up by Arlinn for some animals and plants to inhabit and survive there, as far as I know, the Valley of the Kings can be described as an endangered terrain, maybe in another hundred years, the Valley of the Kings will not exist, if Arlinn's cave is there, will the Valley of the Kings become an endangered terrain?"

nodded and said: "Your analysis is good, but one thing you have to keep in mind is that these five places are just a guess, and it is possible that none of them will be ...... then."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Lung raised his hand to stop him: "I know this, let's go to the first two places first, and then go to the other three places, if my luck is really unlucky, then I have nothing to say." ”

One said: "Then let's go, this is not far from Uluru, only a few hundred kilometers, I hope to have something to gain." ”

After following behind, Wang Lung and the others set off towards Ayers Rock, the long desert was uninhabited, although it was more convenient to use a flying machine, but they didn't do that, they just walked forward, first, they could see what suspicious places were on the way, and second, hundreds of kilometers were just a moment for Wang Lung.

In about ten minutes, Wang Lung and the three of them have approached Ayers Rock, because Ayers Rock is a tourist attraction, there are already traces of travelers within thirty kilometers of its vicinity, so Wang Lung and they have to slow down, even so, they are deliberately hiding their figures, few people can find it, and the speed is not too slow.

Looking at the huge stone in the distance, its color seemed incompatible with the entire desert, this is still a long-distance view, Wang Lung stretched out his hands to pose in the shape of a picture frame, and gestured left and right a few times, before nodding with satisfaction.

Seeing Wang Lung's actions, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong Xiaolong, what did you find?"

Wang Lung shook his head and said, "No." ”

"And what were you doing?"

Wang Lung chuckled and said, "Don't you think it's beautiful? If there is a camera, I don't mind taking a few pictures." ”

He was stunned and said, "Isn't it just a bare stone? What is beautiful? There are many scenery in the miracle space that are ten thousand times more beautiful than this, what is so beautiful about a stone." ”

"You don't understand!" Wang Lung shook his head, looked at the boulder again, and said no more.

The three of them walked to the rock, and there were dozens of tourists scattered around, many of whom had a camera in their hands and were constantly shooting, and from time to time they raised their hands and pointed to a certain part of the rock and said something.

Wang Lung looked around, and then his gaze fell on the rock, and said slowly: "I don't see any difference here, except for the refraction of light that causes the color change of the stone, have you found anything?"

The two brothers shook their heads, and Wang Lung looked up at the sun in the sky, raised his palm to cover his forehead, and took a closer look at the rock.

After about an hour or so, he spoke, "Little Dragon, to find out if this is Arlinn's Cave Mansion, we have to go inside the rock and have a look. ”

Wang Lung turned his head and asked, "How do you get in?"

He raised his hand and pointed and said, "You see, there are many holes of different sizes in the rock, we can pretend to be tourists to enter them, since this rock is called the mother of the land by the local natives, it must have its meaning." (To be continued......)
