Chapter 3094: Weird terrain

The third thousand and ninety-fourth chapter strange terrain

After confirming that this was a flowing arsenic river, and that the soil and stones on both sides of the river bank were also rich in arsenic, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Attention everyone, everyone wear protective masks and gloves, do not approach the river in the middle of the canyon, and do not touch the soil and stones on both sides of the river, just in case."

"Understood, Steven"

Everyone responded in unison and moved quickly.

In a blink of an eye, everyone had taken protection, and withdrew a few steps back, away from the river in the middle of the canyon.

At this moment, the leader of the Israeli exploratory team stepped forward and asked:

"Steven, if we can't touch the water of this creek, and can't step on the ground on both sides of the river, how do we pass this creek?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at him, scanned the surroundings again, and then said:

"It's very simple. Let's use the big trees on both sides of the river bank to build a simple ropeway. Everyone slides through the air, so that we can avoid touching the small river in the middle of the canyon and the banks on both sides."

The Israeli leader looked at the tall trees on both sides of the river bank, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Very good. Not only is it safe, it doesn't take much time."

"It's true, safety comes first"

Ye Tian nodded.

Afterwards, he called Cole and Seaman to his side and said to them:

"Sieman, you release two small drones to explore along this small river in both the up and down directions, to see if you can find out, and if you can find out the source of the large amount of arsenic in this small river.

The vegetation in this canyon is very dense, and there are many kinds of creatures. Other places seem to be normal. Only this small river and the banks on both sides are cut off. This situation is really weird.

According to my guess, the arsenic in this small river may come from other places, such as a stream that enters the small river, a spring source, or an undercurrent flowing out of a cave, etc."

"Understood, Steven, we will release small drones for exploration."

Seaman nodded in response, and acted immediately.

Soon, two small drones of the Israeli exploration team took off.

They followed the channel of the small river, flew to the two ends of the small river respectively, and began to explore.

After Seaman left, Ye Tian said to Cole again:

"You use the trees on both sides of the river bank to set up a temporary ropeway above this small river. Let us pass this small river from the air. When erecting the ropeway, we must pay attention to safety and the ropeway should be strong enough."

"No problem, Steven, leave these things to us, everyone has a lot of experience in building ropeways, and they will be done soon."

Cole nodded in response, and then went busy.

After a while, another small drone flew into the sky, flew to the other side of the small river, began to investigate the situation there, and chose the target tree to build the aerial ropeway.

After a while, the small drone flew back.

After landing, Cole hung a safety rope on the bottom of the small drone, and then maneuvered the small drone to take off again and flew to the other side of the river.

In the woods on the other side of the small river, there is a tall and thin tree with two people hugging each other. It is about 20 meters away from here. That is the goal that Cole chose.

Ye Tian took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the dense forest, and checked the situation of the small river and its surroundings.

But he didn't find anything new, so he returned immediately.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

The aerial ropeway constructed by Cole and the others was quickly completed.

Above the cut-off river in the middle of the gorge, there was an extra air passage that was enough for the joint exploration team to pass safely.

After the aerial ropeway was built, Cole and the others immediately tested it.

Although this ropeway looks simple, it is strong enough and safe.

Everything was ready, Cole stepped forward and said:

"Steven, I'm going to take a guy to slide over first, clear a foothold over there, and then you and other joint expedition team members will come over again, that's a little safer."

Ye Tian shook his head.

"Everyone is not very clear about the situation on the river bank. If you run into a poisonous snake, such as the night demon snake, or other poisonous insects, you may not be able to deal with it, and you may be caught.

So let me go first. The little white elf can deal with all poisons. When I make sure that it’s safe and there is no danger, let the guys slide over to clean up the footing.”

"Okay, Steven"

Cole had no objection and nodded directly.

As Ye Tian's subordinates, they have explored countless treasures together.

He knew Ye Tian's magic more deeply than others, and knew that nothing could threaten his safety, so he felt relieved.

Afterwards, Ye Tian followed Cole to the big tree where the cableway was set up, preparing to slide over the small river.

At this moment, Seaman suddenly came over and began to report the results of their exploration.

"Steven, you guessed it, the arsenic in this river does come from other places."

Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly became interested.

"Let's talk about it, where do these highly toxic arsenic elements come from? I'm curious"

Seaman pointed to the towering cliff on the west side of the canyon, and then said:

"It came from that cliff, to be precise, from the inside of that cliff. About three to four hundred meters upstream of this small river, there was a small stream that poured into this small river.

The stream is only half a meter wide, and the amount of water is very small. However, the stream passed by is cut off without any animals or plants, and the situation is even more exaggerated than the stream in front of it.

From the point where the stream poured into the small river, the lower reaches of the small river became what everyone is seeing now, while upstream of that point, the banks of the small river are full of life.

It is absolutely certain that all the toxic arsenic in this small river comes from that small stream, and the source of that small stream is the towering cliff on the west side of the canyon."

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the steep cliff to the west of the canyon.

"Obviously, the situation of the cliff on the west may be more complicated than we know. Not only is it very steep, the geology is complicated, and there may also be secrets hidden in the cliff.

After arriving at the bottom of this cliff, before embarking on exploration, we need to test the soil and rocks of this cliff to see if it is also rich in toxic arsenic! "

"Don't say it's really possible. There is no grass on this cliff. It's a bit like the situation on the bank of this small river. It's like a lot of herbicides!"

Cole continued.

Ye Tian nodded, and then continued the topic.

"What else did you find? Tell me about it."

Seaman then continued:

"Through the traces of the stream, we found that the stream is likely to appear intermittently. It only appears in the rainy season and the abundant water after the rainy season ends.

At other times of the year, the creek will disappear. The time we came here happened to be shortly after the end of the rainy season and the water volume was in the abundant period, so we could only see the poisonous creek.

In addition, the small river in front of me is not long. It flows southward from here for about four to five hundred meters. The small river flows into a cave on the west side of the valley and turns into an underground river.

Geological activities on the Ethiopian Plateau are very frequent, and here is the famous Great Rift Valley. Rivers like this are very common. I just don’t know, where did this small river eventually flow? "

After listening to Seaman's introduction, Ye Tian couldn't help being lost in thought.

After a while, he just said:

"From this perspective, the cliff on the west side of the canyon may have a very complicated underground situation. There may be an underground river with abundant water, or even an underground lake."

"Wow! Underground lake, how is it possible?"

Seaman exclaimed directly, a little unbelievable.

After discussing a few more words, Ye Tian ended the topic and came to the big tree that was tied to the ropeway.

When he came here, he first looked at the surrounding environment.

Then he looked up at the ropeway that was set up at a height of five or six meters to see if the ropes and safety ropes of the ropeway were tied firmly.

After confirming that there was no problem, he looked at the big tree across the river.

The rope used to set up the ropeway was tied to the height of the big tree about three meters, and a thick tree branch that grew westward was used to fix the rope.

In this way, a certain height difference is formed on both sides of the ropeway.

And this height difference is not very big. The east side is about three meters higher than the west side. This height difference is conducive to controlling the speed of taxiing without any danger.

Starting from the east of the small river, using the pulley block and safety rope on the ropeway, it is easy to reach the woods on the opposite side.

Next, the security personnel guarding the east side of Xiaohe can pull back the safety rope and pulley block, and then send a group of personnel and materials there.

There are not too many tall trees and plants between the two big trees on both sides of the river bank. They are face to face, so there is no need to worry about hitting other trees during the taxi.

Under perspective, Ye Tian quickly grasped the situation of this aerial ropeway.

The ropeway is safe, simple and practical.

After confirming this, he immediately nodded and said:

"Let’s start, Cole, I’ll go over to clean up, remove the danger, and then let others pass."

"Okay, Steven"

Cole nodded in response.

After that, Ye Tian put on the noose, tied the safety rope, and quickly got ready.

Immediately afterwards, Cole and the others worked together to pull Ye Tian up.

Pulling it to a height of about five meters above the ground, Ye Tian used the downhill lock in his hand to lock the cable and added a second insurance before they began to release the safety rope.

The next moment, Ye Tian slid across the river.

In a blink of an eye, he has volleyed over this poisonous river and entered the woods on the west side of the river bank.

After entering the woods, he slid forward for another three to four meters, before he came to the big tree tied to the aerial ropeway.

When only about one meter left from the trunk of the big tree, he began to tighten the downhill lock in his hand.

With this action, the sliding speed immediately dropped.

Then he leaned forward with his feet, stomped on the big tree lightly, and quickly stabilized his figure.

As soon as he stabilized his figure, he immediately released the downhill lock and then fell to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian has landed steadily on the ground.

The first time he landed and stood firmly, he quickly drew out the jungle machete and scanned the surroundings.

The vegetation in the woods here is dense and green, and it seems that there is no danger.

After confirming this, Ye Tiancai unlocked the noose and safety rope on his body, and then said through the intercom:

"Cole, you can take back the safety rope and pulley block. It looks safe here, there is no problem, let the other guys come over."

"Received, Steven"

Cole responded and immediately took back the relevant equipment.

Ye Tian swung his knife at the surrounding plants and began to clear the ground.

After a while, two of his security team members slid over and landed safely on the ground.

After the two guys landed, they could only add a ropeway to another big tree not far away to speed up the passing speed of the joint exploratory team.

In just ten minutes, the second aerial ropeway has also been completed.

Next, the other members of the three-party joint exploration team and the security team slid one by one down the cableway to the woods west of the small river.

All kinds of exploration equipment and materials were also transported over.

When flying across the sky, the guys who played this game for the first time were all excited and yelling.

For them, the only regret is that these two aerial ropeways are too short.

I hadn't enjoyed myself yet, so I flew over the small river and flew into the woods on the west bank of the small river, ending this volley crossing.

As for the stream flowing with arsenic below, everyone has ignored its existence.

In about forty minutes, all members of the tripartite joint exploration team and security team members have safely arrived in the woods on the west bank of the small river.

Under the guidance of Cole and the others, the Tigray people who followed quickly learned how to use these two ropeways and began to use these two ropeways to cross the river.

As the Tigray people crossed the river, Ye Tian led the tripartite exploration team into the deep forest on the west bank of the small river, and continued to advance to the cliff not far away.

As before, it was Ye Tian and a few Israeli security players who opened the way in front of the three-party joint exploration team.

Holding sharp jungle machete, they chopped the branches and shrubs in front of the team, as well as various vines, etc., and drove all kinds of small animals hidden in front and around.

At the same time, they did not stop using trekking poles to explore the ground, to see if the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves was solid and whether there were holes or cracks in the ground.

During the march, everyone successively discovered several large or small, and very hidden holes and cracks.

Under Ye Tian's prompt reminder, the tripartite joint exploratory team avoided these dangerous places in time, and no accident occurred.

As expected, everyone found several green night demon snakes, and even a very venomous black mamba snake.

Some of them are entangled on branches and vines, and some are hidden in grass or under dead branches and fallen leaves. They are very well hidden and camouflaged, and it is difficult to be found.

However, they encountered the biggest nemesis in their lives today!

This so-called nemesis is actually the little fellow of the White Elf.

Without exception, these venomous snakes were killed by the little white elf and turned into pieces of fresh but creepy snake skins.

Ye Tian used a trekking pole to pick up these venomous snake skins one by one and threw them into the deep forest.

Compared with the dense forest on the east bank of the Xiaohe ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, there are more species of animals and plants, and the vegetation is denser.

In addition to those highly venomous snakes, we also found some other animals and plants.

Among them are the famous lion-tailed baboons, green monkeys, caracal cats, etc., as well as plants such as Acacia and Datura, which look beautiful but are actually extremely poisonous.

Fortunately, this canyon is not wide, and it does not take much time to cross it once.

The dense forest on the west bank of the small river has an overall width of less than two hundred meters.

Everyone didn't walk far forward, and the ground began to rise gradually, starting to go uphill a little bit.

The visibility in the mountains and forests is improving rapidly, the surrounding trees are becoming sparser, and there are fewer and fewer plants on the ground.

Finally, the tripartite joint exploration team walked out of this dense forest and came to the bottom of the cliff.

As soon as I came out, everyone felt the pressure doubled.

The towering cliffs on the west side of the canyon rushed towards you, seeming to be just above everyone's heads, and Mount Tai was generally pressing on the top.
