Chapter 618: Death Valley (1)
Say it's a forest, and those trees are still, only the branches and leaves sway gently. But I don't know any of the breeds. Not only did I not know it, but I didn't even see it, and I never heard of it.
We, on the other hand, had only been crawling into the forest for half an hour, and we almost thought we had reached another world.
Have you ever seen the purple leaves? Perhaps the earth does, but it is only at certain times that trees grow this particular color. But the leaves grow into clumps of leaves, which I have never heard of. The leaves were like the curly hair of a sheep's body, purple, extremely long, hanging to the ground one by one, and some even emitted a strange light.
Without chlorophyll, how exactly do they grow? What do they rely on for photosynthesis?
My vision was blurry, so I covered my eyes with my right hand and looked up like the sky. Suddenly, I almost fainted in surprise. The stars that were still in the sky just now are not a single one to be seen. The canopy was empty, and there was nothing left.
But there was not much darkness around.
All of this is deeply weird.
Yiyi also felt that her brain was starting to mess up, her eyes were messy, and she sat down against the tree weakly.
Zhang Guofeng even muttered, "Boss, we won't have encountered the legendary crossing and are no longer on the earth, right?" ”
I scolded, "Idiot, you used to see a lot of crossings when you were an otaku, didn't you, how could there be so many messy ways to cross, how could it be so simple to cross." In the pen of those writers, the turbulence of time and space is too easy to form. ”
"But, but everyone else can get lost in the streets because of kicking stones, eating and supporting, and we can't just walk into the forest and cross, no matter how we think about it, that layer of white fog is very problematic." This guy has completely fallen into fantasy.
The rest didn't speak, just stood there thoughtfully.
"I'm sure it's definitely not a crossing. Seeing this, I have a conjecture. I've heard of a place where there isn't, a place called Cape Ballomo. I asked in a low voice.
Yiyi tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "I know a little bit." It is said that the place is only 40 kilometers away from the "Emperor's Sacred Pond", and it is a cone-shaped peninsula called the "Cape of Death". The cone-shaped bottom of the island connects to the shore of the lake and is about 3 km long. Inaccessible.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the Inuit Yakoson father and son went to the northwest of Lake Pars to catch polar bears, when it was already freezing, Yakoson Jr. first saw Cape Ballomo, and then saw a polar bear crawling from the ice to the island, Yakosson Jr. was very happy, and ran to the island first, and the father saw his son running, and followed closely behind to run to the island.
As soon as little Akeson arrived on the island, he shouted loudly, telling his father not to want the island. Arcoson wondered, not knowing what was happening, but he heard fear and danger in his son's tone. He thought that there were fierce beasts or indigenous people on the island, so he did not dare to rush to the island.
He waited for a long time, but still did not see his son come out, so he ran back to move the rescuers, and after a while he found six strong young men, only one of whom was called Cape Ballomo, and the rest of them all went to look for Little Arkson, but all the people looking for people on the island disappeared and disappeared. ”
"Not bad." I nodded, "Actually, after Ballomo went back alone, he was blamed and scolded by everyone, including the family of the deceased. Since then, people have known this horn of death as "Cape Ballomo". No one dared to go to that island anymore.
Decades later, one day in July 1934, a handful of French-Canadians armed with guns, determined to brave the island, once again landed at Cape Ballomo, ready to find out. They descended the island under the gaze of the Inuit, and several screams followed, and the French-Canadians were vaporized like a juggle.
This tragedy caused extreme panic among the indigenous immigrants in the Pars Lake area, and some simply moved to other places. Residents who did not move found that as long as they did not enter Cape Ballomo, there was no danger. ”
Yuan Liu raised his head and glanced at me, "What does this story have to do with the situation we are encountering now?" If you don't, don't talk! ”
I didn't look at him, and continued, "Of course there is, it's big. The key is in the back. In 1972, the American professional boxer Trey Haut, the explorer Knoxville and the Murray Dienla couple traveled to Cape Ballomo, believing that there was no place he dared not go, and there was no mystery that could not be solved. So on April 4 of that year, they came to the edge of the land at Cape Death, and stayed there for another 10 days, in order to observe the movement of the island.
Mrs. Murray Dienla is a well-known television presenter in Idavado. She took many photographs of the island, and many unknown animals could be seen from the surface, and the island was so wooded and lush that there was no hint of its danger. As a result, Knoxville believes that Death Point must have been invented by the locals or their totems and taboos.
It wasn't until April 14 that they began to approach cautiously towards Cape Death so as not to be subjected to unnecessary threats. Boxer Trehott was the first to walk into Cape Ballomo, Knoxville was second, and Lady Murredianla was third, and they were separated by 1 per person in a column. About 5 meters, slowly penetrate deep into the hinterland. They were cautious along the way, and after walking for a short time, they saw a white skeleton on the road.
Mrs. Murredianla later recalled, "Knoxville cried out, 'There are white bones here,' and when I heard this, I stood and involuntarily took two steps back, and I saw him crouching down to look at the white bones." Trehot, who was at the front, turned around to go back to see what was going on, but he stood still for some reason, and shouted in panic, 'Pull me up.' And Knoxville yelled, 'Get out of here, I can't get up, it's like there's a disk in this place.' ’”
"It's like a black hole in a phantom movie, and it's holding Trehott so tightly that it can't break free, not even move at all." Later I saw that Trehott had changed into a person, his facial muscles were atrophiing, he opened his mouth, but he made any sound, and later I realized that his facial muscles were not atrophiing, they were disappearing. In less than 10 minutes, he was left with only one skin on the skeleton, and the scene was truly creepy.
It didn't take long. His skin was gone. Strangely, his face bones were not red, as if they had been sucked out of flesh by a legendary vampire, but he was still standing. The same fate befell Knoxville. I felt that it was a moving gravitational pull, maybe it would disappear, maybe it would extend, so I pulled my wife out with me. ”
In April 1980, the James Yasen expedition, a well-known American explorer organization, went to Cape Ballomo, among these 16 people, there were geologists, geophysicists, biologists, they identified the magnetic field, and also analyzed the surrounding geological structures, but did not find geomagnetic proof at Cape Ballomoh.
Scientists believe that Cape Ballomo bears a striking resemblance to several other death drums in the world. This one is 225 kilometers long and 6 kilometers wide. The 26-kilometer strip is inhabited by all kinds of raw plants, and once you enter, you will definitely die. ”
Yiyi's eyes lit up, "You mean to say that the place we are in now is a presence similar to Cape Ballomo?" ”
"It should be so, otherwise there is no way to explain the current situation." I nodded heavily, "Actually, there are many places in the world that resemble Cape Ballomo, and they can be summed up in a few similarities. First, it is easy to bring death. Second, it's easy to get in and hard to get out. Thirdly, the vegetation and animals are different from ordinary places. ”
"Ahh Li Kang suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, my hometown used to be at the foot of this mountain. The legend of the Valley of the Dead has indeed been heard before. It is said that there is a valley in this mountain that cannot be entered, and those who come in will die. The valley is surrounded by an endless forest, and the trees inside are also strange-looking and full of danger. The older generation has been passed down from generation to generation, and the dozens of kilometers around the Valley of the Dead must not be visited. Now that I think about it, the location of the Valley of the Dead should be around here. ”
Li Kang's whole body trembled, "Speaking of which, we should be in the Endless Forest now." That, Valley of the Dead, Valley of the Dead is in ......"
He couldn't say anything anymore, only felt a chill rise in him.
The rest of the people also turned pale, and my vocal cords trembled, and I said for a long time, "If the Valley of the Dead is a valley, then there is no doubt that there is only one place that looks like a valley in the vicinity for dozens of kilometers. ”
My gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, "It's that Huayuan's bad behavior education heart!" ”
"If what Li Kang said is true, then how did they build the school in the Valley of the Dead?" Yiyi's lips were pale, and goosebumps came out of her fear.
I shook my head, "No matter what it is, the first thing we need to do now is how to escape!" ”
Human beings are also this kind of creatures, afraid of loneliness, afraid of mediocrity, afraid of no motivation to move forward, once people lose their goals, have no direction, and completely lose the courage to survive.
Now, first of all, we must find a way to descend from this cliff that is more than 100 meters high.
We looked at the rugged cliff face beneath our feet, gritted our teeth, and stepped on a protruding rock and began to climb. The heart always felt that something had been forgotten, and I was just about to climb when I suddenly raised my head, ready to say something.
