Chapter 54 Rock Sea
The beautiful scene in everyone's hearts was broken in front of their eyes, which made people shudder.
Zhang Jianyang looked at the devouring tree that had regained its aesthetic side and whispered, "The more beautiful the world is, the more dangerous it is. Behind this beauty, there is infinite killing.
Zhang Jianyang has experienced too much to sum up the words. Chen Zhuangping understands it, but Wang Hanguang and others still don't understand. At most, they are just a means of devouring the tree. How can they associate Zhang Jianyang's words with life? How many beautiful things are there in life, thinking and hearts in people's eyes, but who cares about the dangers?
Feeing this shocking scene, Zhang Jianyang took them back to the tent again. I believe that those who had seen this scene did not dare to step into the canopy.
The caravan carried some fire tools and simply boiled some boiling water. In this desert that began to get cold, it made people feel a little warm.
The dinner was also dry food, but one person had an extra piece of dried meat.
After dinner, Zhang Jianyangshuang told him once to get into his tent and sleep without fear.
But other people are different. They can't sleep in the tent.
This is camping in the dark night. If this kind of thing spreads, the horror will not be believed. Human beings' fear of the night is almost engraved in their bones. But now these people are camping in the dark. As long as you think about it, it is an unbelievable and exciting thing. The blue light of the devouring tree is soft, but also bright, like a moon close at hand.
In this way, who can sleep at ease?
Not only that, the blue light outside the tent sometimes has a more shining light. Every time the dotted waterfall flashes, people will know that another mutant beast falls under the deception of the devouring tree. Throughout the night, many people didn't know how to fall asleep. With a kind of excitement and fear, the excitement of sleeping on the edge of death made them feel magical and fresh.
............
The next morning, everyone got up with dark eyes, and the old Chen Zhuangping could not sleep at ease.
When Zhang Jianyang got up, he stretched out his waist. He slept very comfortably. He could put down all the burdens and sleep at ease. Even in his home in Shacheng, he was not so relaxed at this moment. Zhang Jianyang sighed a little. He is a person who is naturally suitable to appear in the night. He does not have a trace of fear in the night, but is used to the way of life in the night.
Seeing their depressed appearance, Zhang Jianyang laughed dumbly, but he forgot that he was similar to them at the beginning.
The people who get up are all staring at the towering giant tree standing next to it. Now it seems that this tree is very ordinary, almost the same shape as the banyan tree in the south. The leaves are all rolled up. The frightening beard roots are all shrinking, and the whole tree gives people the feeling of entering self-protection.
Animals and plants living in the desert have a set of water-locking methods for them.
The current state of the devouring tree is to roll up its own leaves to prevent the loss of too much water in the waiting heat. There is rich groundwater under the desert. The root system of the devouring tree has long penetrated into the groundwater, but its huge canopy will be tens of thousands of times the consumption of other plants. If you don't pay attention to protection, you can't afford to squander it.
After breakfast, the caravan returned to the highway, crossed the edge of the devouring tree, and gradually threw it behind.
There are not many devouring trees like this in the world. They only appear in a few countries. In addition, they all grow in the desert and are not a mutant plant that people need.
............
The desert where the sun rises is very hot. The bull drags more than hundreds of tons of five-section cargo compartments and keeps gasping for breath.
The temperature has risen to more than 40 degrees, making people sweat all over.
Zhang Jianyang looked up at the nuclear explosion cloud that has not dissipated for a hundred years. Without it to block the sunlight, the temperature here will exceed 50 degrees. Not to mention living here, it will be impossible to cross this sand sea. High temperatures are not tolerant of human beings, and transporting mutant animals like bulls also can't stand this high temperature.
Out of familiarity with this area, Zhang Jianyang took the caravan to move forward on different routes.
Chen Zhuangping was very surprised that what Zhang Jianyang showed was an old man who had walked this road countless times. Except for the death of the Gobi at the beginning, he did not encounter anything dangerous.
With the arrival of the afternoon, Chen Zhuangping kept looking at his watch. The time on it was losing, but the caravan was also getting closer and closer to the destination.
When many clumps of weeds appear in the desert, layers of rocks can be seen in the distance, which also means that the caravan has successfully crossed this sand sea and entered the rocky area of the plateau. Next, it will be a completely unknown journey, and even Chen Zhuangping is no longer familiar with it.
Chen Zhuangping and others, who have lost their direction, will not understand what the appearance of this schist sea means, which will mean that the caravan has entered the scope of the Tamu Basin, which is the most strange regional business card of the Tamu Basin. It may be due to the high temperature. Most of these rocks are gray-brown, and there will be a short plant as red as maple leaves between the cracks of the rocks.
There is also an excellent animal in the Tamu Basin, which is the rock sheep.
The appearance of the caravan seemed to break the silence in this area. A group of rock sheep who were eating the plants and grass in the rocks were frightened. They ran around in this rocky sea, jumped, and finally disappeared into the rock abyss in the distance. The mutant tall rock sheep leader, after making a shocking roar on the rock, was the last one to leave.
The ability of mutant rock sheep is not strong, but it is in the second level, about the same level as the bull. On the flat ground, they don't look good, but in this rock sea, they are the real masters.
Chen Zhuangping sighed: "The meat in Shacheng is expensive. If you take this large group of rock sheep back and make money, it will definitely still be on the refined salt."
For the rock sheep living here, except for a few flying mutants that can hunt them, it is impossible for human beings to have this ability. As long as they are frightened, the rock sheep will escape everywhere and use the rolling rock sea here to hide. And the fierce mutant rock sheep, this is simply their field. Who wants to appreciate the taste of pushing down the abyss with their horns, although they can hunt them.
A hundred years ago, the highway was built to pass through this rocky sea.
............
Before the sunset, the caravan passed through this rock sea and showed a vast and boundless basin in front of it.
In the basin, there are also undulating mountains and a sea of rocks. At the far end of heaven and earth, it is a blue lake. On the edge of the lake, visible to the naked eye is a long and narrow snow-white jade belt, which is the world-famous natural air-dried refined salt land in the Tamu Basin.
Standing at the exit of Yanhai, the caravan stopped and experienced the shock of this huge and endless basin from this corner.
Chen Zhuangping's eyes were full of tears. He stood on the loading platform and looked far away with his telescope: "This is the Tamu Basin, this is the Tamu Basin."
