If there is no spiritual defense protection, the air waves above the desert during the day will make the beasts sweat. Not only will the heat dissipate in one night, but the temperature will be as low as the twelfth lunar month in the north.
The beasts who walked out of the array disk's light shield were all yelling that the desert was too weird. They ran to the pond to get some water and washed themselves briefly, then slipped back into the spirit boat.
Young Master Yan and Young Master Xuan also washed themselves briefly with water from the pond before having breakfast.
I had solid food for breakfast.
After breakfast, we set off again, still heading east.
The spirit boat flew in the dust-filled air. The temperature in the desert slowly rose over time, from the chill in the morning to the heat wave.
The spirit boat has a defensive array to isolate the soaring heat, and humans and animals are not affected in the spirit boat.
The two young men and the four humanoid beasts were bored and took turns squatting on the bow of the spirit boat, staring down, calculating how many desert oases they could see along the way.
The spirit boat flew eastward for more than two million miles, and only saw three palm-sized oases or small ponds. After flying for another four million miles, dead tree trunks finally appeared in the desert from time to time.
The trees in the desert only have main trunks. Some have withered for thousands of years and are still standing. Some have been uprooted by the wind and fell to the ground. Some are buried in the sand and only a little is exposed. Some have only a few stumps and broken roots.
p>
At first, only a few tree trunks could be seen occasionally. After flying for more than two million miles, the dead trees also increased from sparse to dense, sometimes there were patches of dead woods, and occasionally dry river beds covered by sand could be seen.
Taking the first small oasis where the group stayed last night as the starting point, the spirit boat flew 10.8 million miles, and the desert finally turned into a desert.
A desert is actually a desert, similar in nature to the Gobi. Although it is also a dry and rainless place, it has sparse vegetation.
After transitioning from desert to desert, humans and beasts finally saw sparse drought-tolerant plants.
Seeing the plants in the desert, Xuan Shaoyan and the four humanoid beasts breathed a sigh of relief. The presence of plants shows that the secret realm is not a Jedi!
The desert is extremely wide, and although there are occasional plants, only a small number of small animals survive.
The spirit boat flew east for more than a hundred miles, and the plants in the desert became denser. Less than three thousand miles further, groups of wild Bactrian camels appeared!
Bactrian wild camels are tall, with an adult camel's shoulder height exceeding three meters, body length four to five meters, and limbs as thick as elephant legs. It looks mighty and majestic, and is very difficult to mess with.
Herds of camels are scattered everywhere, foraging leisurely.
In addition to the camels, there are also rabbits running around.
Finally seeing the lively animals, the eyes of Yan Shaoxuan and the beasts became bright.
Calabash Boy jumped up with excitement: "Camel, camel! There is a camel!"
"Rabbit, there are rabbits!" Baiyin, who has long been craving for braised rabbit heads and grated rabbits, also lay on the light shield of the spirit boat, staring at the fat rabbit moving freely among the plants and camels.
The sound of eagles and Shui Dun took a sip of saliva, secretly thinking about how many camels and rabbits they had to catch to eat.
Xuan Shaoyan's eyes shone brightly, and he was chattering about whether it was easy to catch wild camels and how much to catch without affecting their reproduction.
Le Yun: "..."
She suddenly didn't know what to say. When the two handsome guys and the beasts saw the beasts, the first thing they thought about was always the food, not whether it was a monster or a wild beast, or what its combat effectiveness was.
They are all a group of children who have had a very smooth life and have never been beaten by the reality of the world of immortality.
If she were not still in the reconnaissance environment, the little loli would even want to kick all the handsome guys and humanoid beasts down and let them experience life among the beasts.
The spirit boat continues to fly.
The desert has no end in sight, and at the same time, the camel herds also have no end in sight. Countless wild camels are distributed in the vast desert, foraging for food, standing, and some even lying on the ground to rest.
After flying for more than two thousand miles, the number of Bactrian camels became sparse, and groups of dromedaries appeared instead, as well as bison, sheep, and horses.
Cattle include wild buffaloes and oxen; sheep include antelopes, goats, gazelles and takin, as well as sheep and wildebeest.
Wildebeest is not a horse, but a sheep. Because it has a horse-like face and long horns, it is called wildebeest.
The horses include wild horses, deers, horses, and zebras.
The herd is very harmonious and mixes with each other, mainly because they have different habits. Some like to eat medium-high plants, and some eat low plants. There is no conflict in the food interest chain.
The number of each kind of beast is also countless. Looking from the distance on the spirit boat, I can see the flesh of a Tuotuo moving in the distance, extending to the sky.
At this time, Young Master Xuan also noticed something strange.
There are too many herbivores!
Moreover, there are only herbivores and no carnivores.
If there are no carnivores to restrain herbivores, it means that the balance of the biological chain is broken. When herbivores reproduce without limit, the population will become larger and larger, and the demand for food will also increase, and the living habitat will definitely not be able to supply them.
Food needs.
When the food supply is insufficient, the herd will definitely eat plant roots or bark in order to survive. When the vegetation is over-eaten, the recovery speed cannot keep up, and the land will become desertified on a large scale.
The spirit boat flew unswervingly in the air, and the distance between the herbivorous animals in the desert became longer and longer, and the number of the herds increased.
The desert is more than a million miles wide, and connected to the desert is the savanna.
The savanna is also full of herbivores, with more species than the herds in the desert. There are also herds of birds that are mainly vegetarians. There are even forests that are extremely adaptable and can survive in forest plains or grasslands.
Elephants and foxes can occasionally be seen.
In rivers in deserts and savannas, apart from animals like hippopotamuses that love water, the most common ones are herbivorous fish, which are overcrowded.
There are no carnivorous crocodiles or vicious fish like piranhas.
There are winged herbivorous birds flying in the sky, herbivorous animals running on land, and herbivorous animals swimming in the water.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan was so breathless when he saw it.
The huge population of herbivores, a small population within a thousand miles, is more numerous than the large combination of African animal migrations on the earth.
If so many herbivores are not curbed, they will multiply uncontrollably and eat up all the vegetation sooner or later, turning the entire secret realm into a desert.
"Little loli, there are only herbivores and no carnivores in this place, something is wrong."
"Little beauty, could this place be the monster breeding farm of some immortal sects?"
The tacit understanding between Xuan Shao and Yan Shao is getting better and better. They don’t speak when they are not talking. If I want to speak, I will say something.
"Based on the type of the secret realm, this is not a breeding ground for monsters. What is the reason for such evil effects? You should be able to find the answer by running around the secret realm once or twice."
Le Yun didn't panic at all: "After we find out the reason, you can hunt. Whether you can collect enough ingredients depends on your hunting ability."
"Wow, little fairy, can we let go and hunt?" The beasts were more excited than having chicken blood.
What bad intentions can the beasts have? They just want to collect food to satisfy their appetite.
"Yes, of course, hunting rules must still be followed. Over-hunting must not be allowed, and it must be ensured that it does not cause the genocide of certain herds."
Le Yun can already imagine the catastrophe that the beasts will face in the future, but she will not relent because she cannot bear to slaughter the beasts, otherwise when the secret land turns into a desert, genocide will be waiting for them.
"Understood!"
Four humanoid beasts beat their chests to guarantee.
Young Master Xuan and Young Master Yan are also eager to give it a try. It’s a good thing to collect a lot of ingredients. It would be even better if they could be brought back to Earth!
Because they knew in advance that they could hunt, the four humanoid beasts no longer felt bored. They squatted on the bow of the spirit boat, observing the herd of beasts, and chattered together how many beasts there were within one mile and how many could be hunted.
The savanna can also be said to be a savanna plain. It is very wide and stretches for more than three million miles from west to east. There are also mountains in it. The height of the peaks is about 5,000 feet. The widest area covered by forest has one or two kilometers vertically and horizontally.
Wanli.
To the east of the savanna are hills. Low hills of various sizes are scattered on the plains. The forest coverage rate is extremely high, and continuous virgin forests have become the norm.
The plains and hilly areas are also full of herbivores, including white swans and gray geese of the family Anseriformes, which mainly live on aquatic plants, and very few other large swimming birds and small birds that eat both vegetarian and meat dishes.
There are also many types.
The terrain of the hilly plains has also gradually increased from west to east.
The spirit boat flies in a straight line, and when the hills extend to about 600,000 miles from west to east, the terrain changes again from high to low. The transition zone is about 5,000 miles wide, and there is another great plain to the east.
About 900,000 miles east of the Great Plains, there are hills again. The height of the peaks gradually increases, from more than a hundred feet to tens of thousands of feet. The terrain changes from hills to mountains.
The mountainous area is about hundreds of thousands of miles wide, and beyond that is the plateau that rises suddenly, with mountains and mountains, undulating mountains and canyons.
The peaks on the plateau are more than ten thousand feet high.
After passing the mountainous area with relatively neat peaks, Lingzhou flew southward and found the southern end of the plateau. He rested for a night and then flew around the plateau the next day to survey the topography of the plateau.
Arriving at the area with undulating mountains, Young Master Xuan inevitably became nervous. Generally speaking, large mountain ranges are dominated by monsters, while secret realms are closed environments with more high-level monsters.
Then, the spirit boat flew from the outside of the mountain range to the inside, flying around the plateau without even noticing the shadow of a high-level monster.
Student Le Xiao drove the spirit boat and flew around the plateau from the outside, then around the middle, and then from west to east, and from south to north, forming a cross-shaped route, and conducted a detailed survey.
The terrain of the plateau.
The plateau is more than 97 million miles long from east to west and more than 134 million miles wide from north to south. It has a basin to the west, a small plain to the south, and mountains to the north, extending all the way to the north.
Its easternmost side is bounded by the invisible mask of the secret realm. Between the invisible mask and the plateau is also a plain of hills, about three million miles long from east to west.
After surveying the length and width of the plateau and figuring out the surrounding terrain, Le Yun had a good idea and camped beside a river in the plain to the north of the plateau.
In order to understand the terrain, she flew back and forth several times, and finally flew halfway along the center line of the plateau from south to north, and the sky was already dark.
By the time the spirit boat landed, it was already night.
After finding a place to stay overnight, Mr. Xuan went to arrange dinner.
The little Loli spread out a piece of silk and began to draw a topographic map.
