The Tianshan Great Rift Valley is not in this grassland area, but has to bypass several low-altitude mountains under the Tianshan Mountains and enter the desert area.
The Mailon mercenary group set off relatively late. When the entire group of more than 100 people arrived at the entrance of the Tianshan Rift Valley in the desert layer, many mages had already stopped there and set up some temporary tents. , or use magic to build some mud houses.
"What's going on? Are these people still watching the show outside?" Jiang Yu said.
The Great Rift Valley is a new land. Even if you don't enter the Trace of the Tianshan Mountains, there are still many treasures hidden in it. It stands to reason that after the mages know the news, they should race against time to enter it and loot as much treasures in the Great Rift Valley as possible. How could they have set up tents one by one like now?
"Go and ask what happened?" Deputy commander Kuma said to Tomi, the captain of the third team beside him.
Tommy looked like an old man at first glance. He traveled among the different teams, and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with them.
After finding out the situation clearly, Tomi, the captain of the third division, ran back and said to deputy commander Kuma.
"It seems that a torrent of rocks appeared in the Great Rift Valley, burying alive a team of hunters that entered half a day ago." Tommy, the captain of the third team, said.
"It's just a small situation. As for frightening these people, don't forget that this is Tianshan Mountain, the land of braves." said the group leader.
"It's not that simple. Floods of rocks seem to happen from time to time, and the destructive power is quite strong. Especially if we are in the Great Rift Valley and suddenly encounter a flood of rocks coming, we will have no way to escape. It's even more unstoppable." Tommy said seriously.
"There are so many of us, but we can't stop them even if we build a defensive wall?" Kuma asked.
"It can't be stopped. The Tianshan Rift Valley itself is a terrain that gradually sinks from the highest altitude. Especially in places where the rift valley slopes are extremely long, the flood flow brings in more sediment and rocks through continuous rolling. They become turbulent and fierce at the same time, unless they calm down on their own in some gentle places, otherwise they are waiting to be smashed and buried alive," Tomi said.
"Is there a pattern, this flood of rocks?" Kuma said.
"We can set off now. It will be safe to reach the gentle canyon before the sun rises." Mo Fan walked over and said to Deputy Commander Kuma.
Kuma, Tommy, the group leader and several other captains all turned their heads. Among them, the extremely unruly group leader spoke first and hummed: "Where are you from? It's your turn here. Have you spoken??”
Kuma waved his hand and stopped the group leader Gavin.
"Do you know anything about this strange phenomenon?" Deputy Commander Kuma asked.
"The flood flow is due to the continuous melting of frost and snow, and some sections of the Great Rift Valley have turned into a large and rapid river valley. The rapids in the valley have washed away the desert layer here, bringing mud, sand, and rocks together. If it gets involved, it will turn into a terrible torrent, so take advantage of the fact that the temperature is still relatively low these days and the light is not enough, and hurry up as soon as possible. After a while, the sun will shine brightly and the temperature will rise, and we will soon have the A new flood has begun." Mo Fan said.
"Is that so??" Deputy captain Kuma asked captain Tommy.
"There are indeed a few old hunters who have mentioned this possibility, but everyone has their own opinions." Tommy said.
"Then let's go. Since we are all members of our mercenary group, of course we should choose to believe... Boy, it seems that you have done a lot of homework?" Deputy leader Kuma said with a smile.
Mo Fan naturally didn't do his homework. This was the information Lingling bought with money. If he didn't need the people from the mercenary group to open a path for him, Mo Fan would really be reluctant to throw away the information he bought with money. go out.
…
The people of the Mailon Mercenary Group began to move forward. Human beings like to follow the trend. As the Mailon Mercenary Group entered with such force, the hesitant mage groups also followed behind.
The Great Rift Valley is not just one long and lengthy road. After entering, there will be countless branches in the Great Rift Valley. No one can say which one is the road that continues to higher altitudes. After all, this is The Great Rift Valley is really too long. If you are in one of the valleys, you can't tell whether the terrain is flat or rising. What's more, a valley that is not rising must be unobstructed. You may walk for several kilometers and end up with a dead end.
The Great Rift Valley can be called a labyrinth. There are twists and turns, branches, interconnections, and circuitous paths. Sometimes you don’t even know the way back.
It is difficult for sunlight to shine in. Some sections of the Rift Valley are very deep and narrow. When you look up, all you see are those rugged and curved rocks. The sun cannot be seen. You need to hold a torch to light up before you can continue to move forward. But in some places It suddenly became clear again, as if I had stepped into a flat valley, with ample light and gentle terrain. If it weren't for the wall of cracks rising from the ground that could still be seen in the distance, it would be no different from walking in an ordinary desert.
"Damn it, how on earth are we going to get out of this damn place?" Gavin, the team leader, said impatiently.
"It should be in that direction."
"Should I? I don't want to go back to the cave full of spider excrement that I just walked through!" Gavin cursed.
Not long ago, they passed through a cave. This cave was the only way they could find to continue to the depths of the Great Rift Valley. Information about spider caves was also spread from the first people who discovered the Great Rift Valley. Overall, they were on the right track, but the next road was very strange. No matter which valley road they went to, they would always return to the Spider Cave.
"You can ask the Chinese guy, didn't he do a lot of homework?" Tommy thought of Mo Fan at this time.
"Let's camp and rest where we are, and I'll go ask." Kuma said.
Kuma let the team rest where they were and walked towards the ninth team.
…
"Do you know what to do next?" Kuma asked directly.
Mo Fan noticed that Kuma was looking at him, so he turned his attention to Lingling.
How to go, how could he know!
"Go in the direction where the torrent of rocks will come." Lingling said.
Kuma thought the little girl was joking at first, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, the floods of rocks come from the melting of frost bodies on high floors. They must be flowing along the way." Got here by a clear road. So clever."
"I advise you not to camp here." Lingling added.
"Why?"
"Rather than saying that the cave is filled with feces, it is better to say that it is filled with digested bones." Lingling said.
