Chapter 112 Desert and Great Rift Valley

The giant eagle carried Jiang Xuan and the old witch away from the frog tribe.

By the lake, Huo Meng, the leader of the Frog Tribe, watched the giant eagle getting smaller and smaller. Thinking of his previous conversation with the two people, he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

He touched his face and saw six horizontal lines on it, but he knew very well that it was fake and could only fool people.

"It would be great if I really was a six-color warrior!"

Huo Meng let out a sigh.

Then he looked at the sacred lake whose water level was gradually decreasing, the countless frogs by the lake, and the hundreds of tribesmen in the woods.

"Maybe one day, the sacred lake will dry up completely. Then, where should our frog tribe go?"

The Frog Tribe is not strong, it can even be said to be relatively weak, and they no longer have the protection of a totem god. Even if they migrate, they may not be able to find a suitable place to live, and they are also in danger of being killed along the way.

Thinking of this, Huo Meng's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character. This man who looked very tall and mighty felt helpless like a child at this moment.

…

In the sky of the Western Wilderness, the giant eagle continued to fly forward.

The further we fly, the hotter the temperature becomes, the sparser the vegetation on the ground becomes, and the more serious the desertification becomes.

On the twelfth day of the giant eagle's flight, Jiang Xuan and the old witch finally saw a real desert!

This place is full of yellow sand. Once a strong wind blows, it will bring about a terrible sandstorm that will submerge everything.

In the evening, the giant eagle landed on the ruins of an abandoned tribe.

Jiang Xuan got off the giant eagle's back and looked at the ruins that were half buried by the dust. He grabbed a handful of hot sand from the ground and said, "This kind of place is no longer suitable for living."

The old witch had never seen a desert before, and this desert gave him a greater shock. He looked at the endless sand dunes and said absentmindedly: "How could it become like this..."

Jiang Xuan noticed that there were a large number of dead trees in the sand, half buried in the sand. Some had been severely weathered, while some were still relatively intact.

This shows that this place used to be a forest and the desertification period should not have been very long.

Jiang Xuan said to the old witch: "Based on the current situation, this desert will continue to expand rapidly. I estimate that the Frog Tribe will become like this sooner or later.

"This is a natural disaster that cannot be stopped by human power."

"Will the Frog Tribe's territory become like this in the future?" The old witch found it a little unbelievable.

Jiang Xuan nodded affirmatively.

“It’s terrible.”

At this moment, the old witch could only be thankful that the Eagle Tribe and the Vine Tribe were not in the Western Wilderness.

When it was getting dark, Jiang Xuan picked up some dead trees and started a fire by drilling them together.

When night falls, the desert cools down rapidly, from hot to cold.

“Crackle, crackle…”

It soon got dark, and Jiang Xuan walked around the area but didn't find anything.

Perhaps it is because there is no oasis nearby, or perhaps it is because the desert has appeared for too short a time and no animals have yet appeared that can adapt to this environment.

However, after nightfall, Jiang Xuan used his night vision to discover some small insects and a few lizards.

These tiny creatures tried hard to adapt and survive in this newly emerged desert and did not die due to the drastic changes in the environment.

Jiang Xuan grabbed a lizard about 30 centimeters long, looked at it over and over for a while, and said, "You are lucky. We still have dry food. We won't eat you today."

Jiang Xuan let the lizard go, and it ran away quickly, obviously frightened.

“I didn’t expect that there are animals that can survive in a place like this.”

The old witch looked at the lizard flying away and felt quite emotional.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "There are always some animals with strong adaptability that can survive."

The old witch nodded and said, "That's right. People with strong adaptability can survive anywhere."

That night, Jiang Xuan and the old witch ate some dry food and drank some water, then spread a large animal skin next to the fire and took a nap.

The next day, they continued their flight on the giant eagle.

In the next few days, they found two oases with water sources in the desert, where many wild animals lived, and the giant eagle also filled its stomach in the oasis.

On the eighteenth day after entering the Western Desert, they finally made a major discovery.

It was a huge rift valley, countless kilometers long, extending all the way from the Western Desert.

"Oh my god, the ground is cracking!"

The old witch looked at the endless huge rift and was deeply shocked. This was a scene he had never seen anywhere else.

Jiang Xuan had never seen such a large rift valley, but he had heard in his previous life that there was a famous large rift valley on a continent.

But he couldn't figure out whether the great rift valley before him was the same as the one he had heard of in his previous life.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the ground below shook violently, raising a cloud of dust.

The huge rift was also shaking, and countless sand and gravel rolled down and fell into the bottom of the bottomless rift.

"Cry!"

The black giant eagle instinctively sensed the danger, then quickly turned around and flew back.

Not long after the giant black eagle flew away, a mountain next to the Great Rift Valley suddenly cracked open, and billowing black smoke rose from it, like a thick dark cloud.

The giant eagle was frightened and flew farther away, but Jiang Xuan and the old witch turned back and kept staring at the cracked mountain.

"boom!"

Not long after, a terrible stream of magma gushed out from the top of the mountain like a fountain. The red magma splashed everywhere like water, and then rolled down the mountain.

"Volcano eruption!"

After Jiang Xuan saw this scene with his own eyes, he realized how terrible a violent volcanic eruption was.

Fortunately, this is an uninhabited desert, otherwise it would have caused a huge disaster and countless lives would have been lost! The old witch was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This world-destroying scene made him feel deeply terrified.

"boom!"

Not long after, another volcano erupted, and the sky over there had turned as dark as ink. It was not dark clouds, but volcanic ash that had not yet fallen!

The ground continued to shake, and the giant eagle fled back desperately, not daring to land at all.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of something, so he said to the old witch: "Let the giant eagle fly in the direction of the crack in the ground!"

The old witch nodded, and then asked the giant eagle to do as Jiang Xuan said.

Although the giant eagle was a little reluctant, it still changed direction and flew forward along the great rift valley.

The further the giant eagle flies, the smaller the width of the rift becomes, just like a river flowing upstream, the source of the river is often likely to be just a few puddles.

Gradually, they moved away from the volcanic eruption area, but the huge rift valley below continued to extend forward.

Moreover, earthquakes occur from time to time where the Great Rift Valley is located. Every time the giant eagle lands to rest, it will land far away from the Great Rift Valley.

After flying for three days, they finally arrived at the end of the Great Rift Valley. Here, the crack in the ground was only a few dozen centimeters wide.

“Boom!”

However, after the ground shook, the cracks in the ground continued to extend forward!

If this continues, this great rift will only get longer and wider. In the end, will it split the original continent into two halves, or more? By that time, what will become of the East Wasteland, West Wasteland, South Wasteland, and North Wasteland? Jiang Xuan thought of this, wanting to see the final result, but also felt heavy pressure.

Because he was not sure what would become of the Teng tribe in the midst of such drastic changes, and whether they could withstand the various tests that were about to come.

Jiang Xuan said to the old witch: "The changes in the Western Wasteland should be related to the continuous cracking of the ground."

The old witch looked at the ground that continued to split and nodded with a heavy heart.

Apart from this reason, with his knowledge, he couldn't think of any more reasons.

The old witch looked at the endless rift and said, "It's time to go back. I don't know where this crack will end up."

Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "It all depends on God's will."

"Yes, we can only rely on God's will." The old witch had a complicated look on his face, because he thought he would not live for many more years, and he didn't know how many changes he would see.

Jiang Xuan added: "Since we can't find anything more, I think we should go back."

This time they were out for a long time, and by the time they returned, the ice and snow in the Southern Wilderness might have melted.

Especially after knowing that the environment in the Western Wilderness had become so harsh, Jiang Xuan was eager to return to the tribe to make more preparations to meet future challenges.

"Go back."

The old witch had no objection to this. He had seen so many things on this trip that he decided to draw all his experiences on animal skins and rock walls when he returned.

The two climbed back onto the giant eagle's back and set out on their return journey.

"Cry!"

The giant eagle circled in the sky, took one last look at the desert, and then flew towards the southern wilderness.

“Boom!”

“Ka-ka-ka…”

The ground still shook from time to time, and the huge rift continued to extend forward, and no one knew where it would end.

On the way back, Jiang Xuan and his friends passed by the Frog Tribe again.

They replenished their food and water at the frog tribe.

Before leaving, Jiang Xuan said to Huo Meng, the leader of the Frog Tribe: "If one day your tribe migrates to the Southern Wilderness, you can come to the Vine Tribe to find us."

Huo Meng asked in astonishment: "Aren't you from the East Wild Eagle Tribe?"

Jiang Xuan sat on the back of the giant eagle, showing a row of neat teeth, and pointed at the old witch and said, "He is from the Eagle Tribe, but I am not."

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xuan, and I am the leader of the Southern Wasteland Vine Tribe. If you can go to the Southern Wasteland in the future, remember to look for me. I will treat you to delicious food then."

The giant eagle flew away quickly, but Huo Meng stood there, not moving for a long time.

Jiang Xuan told him about the situation on the other side of the Western Wilderness. Although he was reluctant to believe it, if the Frog Tribe wanted to continue to survive, they had to start considering the migration of the tribe.

However, can the frog tribe really migrate smoothly? Huo Meng has no confidence in this.

Thanks to the book friend "专看无敌文后宫文无限流" for the reward.
