Chapter 862 The secret at the bottom of Vincent's Peak!
After bidding farewell to this group of cute and cute penguins, Xia Haoran and his party continued on their way.
Vincent Peak.
Soon, Xia Haoran and three others suddenly appeared here.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Li Youjiang, would be able to stand on the top of the Antarctic in my lifetime!" Li Youjiang stretched out his arms and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
Xia Haoran and Ye Shanhe didn't have much emotion about this. With their level of cultivation, climbing the top of the Earth - Mount Everest, not to mention the small top of Antarctica, is a piece of cake.
.
If you look at the entire earth, the height of Mount Vincent is nothing at all. However, the extremely cold temperature here is the biggest challenge to people. This is why among the famous mountains on all continents around the world, Mount Vincent is the last
A reason to be conquered.
The two of them also understood Li Youjiang's excitement.
As a serious ordinary person who has lived a pampered life for a long time, it would be absolutely a big joke to try to climb Mount Vincent by his own ability.
To know.
Most of the people who can reach the top of Mount Vincennes are well-trained professional mountaineers. It is usually difficult for amateur mountaineers to climb the top of Antarctica.
And this is not to mention that it is the wintering season in Antarctica!
To conquer Mount Vincent, everyone will wisely choose to act in the warm season; if they choose to climb Mount Vincent in the cold season, it is not called mountain climbing, nor is it exceeding the limit, but it is simply seeking death!
For example, right now, although there is no such exaggerated snowstorm at the top of Mount Vincennes, the temperature here is almost minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius.
Without using his mental skills, even Xia Haoran could clearly feel a hint of chill at this moment. Moreover, it was still daytime!
"How's it going? Can you withstand it?" Xia Haoran looked at Ye Shanhe, then reached out and patted Li Youjiang's shoulder gently. At the same time, a stream of true energy quickly penetrated into the opponent's body, helping him
Withstand the severe cold outside.
"Thankfully we came here during the day!" Li Youjiang returned to normal and said: "If it had been at night, he would have frozen into a statue every second, and he wouldn't have thought at all!"
Ye Shanhe glanced at his mouth and said, "Have you ever seen anyone who would choose to come to Antarctica to climb Mount Vincent during the cold winter season?"
Li Youjiang shrugged, laughed and said: "Well, you can see far from a high position. This sentence is really true. Looking around from here, the scenery of the Antarctic continent is indeed amazing!"
"This is the only pure land on earth." Xia Haoran nodded slightly, then squatted down and couldn't help but sigh: "By the way, this Antarctic continent is really a treasure land rich in resources!"
The moment Xia Haoran just released his spiritual consciousness, he discovered many resources in the Isleworth Highlands where Vincent Peak is located. Such as iron ore, uranium ore... and the reserves are obviously not low. Develop any one,
It’s another world-class mine!
"Yep!"
Li Youjiang nodded and said: "According to the data that humans have proven so far, the Antarctic continent is extremely rich in mineral resources such as coal, iron, oil and natural gas. However, the Antarctic continent is shared by people all over the world.
Property, no country or individual has the right to exploit these super mineral resources."
"Nowadays, many countries should be very enthusiastic about this place." Weibo
After a pause, Li Youjiang continued: "As of now, no country or organization dares to act arbitrarily. If someone touches the interests of the vast majority of people, what awaits him will be devastating military strikes and economic sanctions!
"
"What a pity!" Ye Shanhe couldn't help but nodded.
Li Youjiang is right!
Antarctica is a continent far away from other continents and completely isolated from the civilized world. It still has no permanent residents and only a small number of scientific expedition personnel take turns to live and work temporarily in a few research stations.
And this is the last pure land that the international community has won for mankind.
"Hey! This is..."
Suddenly, Xia Haoran, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, let out an exclamation, which immediately attracted the attention of Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang.
"Brother Haoran!" The two stared blankly at Xia Haoran, waiting for his next explanation.
“I discovered something extremely interesting!”
Xia Haoran stood up, waved his hand, and his true energy enveloped the two of them, and quickly came to a huge ice cap crack twenty kilometers due north, and said in a deep voice: "Deep under the ground of Vincent Peak
, there is actually a tunnel that looks like it was dug by man!"
"What? Underground tunnel?"
"Man-made tunnel? Brother Haoran, can you be sure?"
"Sure!" Xia Haoran nodded and said hesitantly: "However, those traces were not made by today's people."
Standing in front of the crack in the ice cap, Xia Haoran was stunned for a moment. The crack in the ice cap in front of him was extremely deep, almost directly leading to the rock formation below the ice cap!
Ice cap cracks refer to cracks formed by the application of stress on the ice during the movement of glaciers. They are also called "ice cracks". Common ice cracks include side cracks, longitudinal cracks and transverse cracks.
.
Obviously, the crack in the ice cap that is more than thirty meters wide and extends infinitely to both ends in front of Xia Haoran and the others is a horizontal crack.
"What the hell! This crack in the ice cap feels so scary!" Li Youjiang couldn't help but shrink his neck and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Xia Haoran noticed that when the violent wind blew over the ice cap crack, all the violent wind was sucked down by the crack.
and.
Not far away from Xia Haoran and the others, the cracks there are not absorbing the strong wind inward, but are continuously spitting out white air pillars. That situation makes people feel as if they are being attracted from here.
The rushing wind made a circle in this crack, and then was spit out from another location.
When seeing this scene, Xia Haoran understood something in his heart.
The reason for the strange scene before us is that the crack in the ice cap is too deep and wide enough to create turbulence out of thin air, which is often referred to as a large air vortex.
Just like the frequent disappearances of planes around the world, when the plane passes through a certain sea area, it disappears from the radar for no reason, and then causes the disappearance. In fact, this is the air vortex generated by the contrast of seawater in the depths of the ocean, so that the ghost is unknown.
It unconsciously sucks down the planes passing above it.
"Be careful!" Xia Haoran glanced at the two of them and said, "This crack in the ice cap really feels uncomfortable. And, because of this
The cracks are deep enough and wide enough, so they generate air vortices."
"Brother Haoran, how deep is this crack?" Ye Shanhe touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I just tried to detect it, and it turned out to be bottomless."
"It's not bad, the position we are standing at is almost four thousand meters." Xia Haoran shrugged, smiled and said: "This crack in the ice cap has penetrated directly into the underground rock layer. And
The tunnel I mentioned before is more than three thousand meters deep under the rock layer."
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Originally, I wanted to go down and see what was going on in that weird tunnel, but with my current level of cultivation, there is no guarantee that I can escape unscathed if I jump down. So, I'd better wait.
Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance.”
"Yes, yes, safety first! As for the detection, let's wait until later!"
When Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang heard this, cold sweat immediately dripped from their foreheads.
The crack in the ice cap alone is almost more than 4,000 meters deep, and the weird, seemingly man-made tunnel is still more than 3,000 meters below the rock layer...
That is to say!
This weird ancient tunnel is actually more than 7,000 meters deep underground!
"Oh my god!"
More than seven thousand meters deep, what kind of concept is that? Thinking of this, Li Youjiang and Ye Shanhe's hearts beat loudly.
"Let's go!"
Xia Haoran used his flying sword and led the three of them straight through the air.
…
Snowless dry valley.
The mountains around the valley are undulating, and the glaciers are crisscrossed and covered with snow. You can even see them everywhere. The glaciers flow into the valley, forming ice waterfalls. But what is extremely surprising is that when these ice waterfalls flow down to both sides of the valley,
It disappeared quietly.
There is no trace of snow in the valley, only exposed rocks and piles of white beast bones under the rocks, and nothing else.
Xia Haoran took a deep breath of the cold air, looked at the magical place in front of him, and murmured to himself: "Is this the Snowless Dry Valley?"
"That's right!" Li Youjiang next to him came to his senses and couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is the snow-free dry valley near McMurdo Sound in the northeast of Antarctica!"
"You see, the glaciers around the valley flowed into the valley and formed ice waterfalls, but these ice waterfalls disappeared before they flowed to both sides of the valley. In addition, there is no snow in this valley all year round, so people call it
It’s called ‘Snowless Dry Valley’.”
Having said this, Li Youjiang paused slightly and said: "There is no ice or snow in this valley, only exposed rocks and piles of animal bones; there is no life, so it is also called '
Valley of Death'."
"Valley of Death?"
Xia Haoran stepped into the valley, and he could clearly feel the trembling breath of death coming towards him; but at the same time, he also sensed wisps of extremely weak and refreshing breath.
"How could this be? There is such a weird existence on the earth?" Xia Haoran turned around and nodded to Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang, and said: "Two eldest brothers, although this snow-free dry valley does not prohibit humans from entering, we
Just try to be more careful. I always feel that everything I see in front of me is not as simple as it seems!"
