Ning Lei also knew that it was her fault that caused their schedule to be delayed again, so naturally it was difficult for her to object.

So the two packed up their equipment and started climbing again...

Different from those below the hillside, the more the two of them climbed up, the more they found that the plants here became sparse.

Moreover, there are very few animals, birds, and even insects.

"What's going on? With such a big hill, can the distribution of animals and plants be so unclear?" Ning Lei asked, holding on to a small tree and wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Well, I don't know either! Ordinarily, the altitude shouldn't have such a big impact. Who knows? Anyway, we'll reach the top of the mountain just 100 meters higher.

Whatever I say today, I have to see what is on the highest peak of this deserted island!"

The two people continued to climb the mountain again, but this time it was obviously much more difficult, because the slope of the mountain became steeper as they went up.

In the last 50 meters, the hillside was almost at an angle of 70 or 80 degrees. Fortunately, Gu Xiaole grew up in the mountains.

That Ning Lei is indeed a master of outdoor rock climbing, so although the hillside is steep, it still cannot stop the pace of the two of them.

Finally, after climbing for nearly 30 minutes, the two people finally reached the highest point of the desert island.

But when the two people climbed up to the top, they were stunned because the sight in front of them really surprised them.

I saw that there was a sunken basin at the top of this mountain peak. Inside the basin, there were green jade trees, birds singing, and the fragrance of flowers. It was a lively scene...

"Here, there is actually a basin below here... It's really surprising. I have climbed so many mountain peaks at home and abroad, and there is no place like this!"

Ning Lei looked at the basin below and said in shock.

Gu Xiaole did not respond immediately. The geological environment here was really surprising. He even remembered an online game that started with the letter w that he had come across when he was still in school.

There is a terrain called the Ring Mountains, which is a central basin surrounded by mountains. It has a completely different biological environment from the outside.

At that time, he thought it was just a game, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter it in reality...

But when he observed it carefully for a while, he discovered that something was wrong. This basin surrounded by ring-shaped mountains did not seem to be naturally formed.

It feels more like something had a big explosion in the middle, causing this strange landscape...

But no matter what the reason is, since we are already here, we naturally have to go down and take a look.

Fortunately, the difference between this basin and the mountain drop is not too big. The drop from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the basin is only about 2,300 meters.

Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei walked along the edge of the mountain for a while, and found that there was a gentle slope area that did not seem to have such a high angle, and the mountain was not that smooth.

So Gu Xiaole took off the rope from his body and said to Ning Lei:

"You wait for me on the mountain, I'll go down alone first and take a look!"

Although Ning Lei was also very curious about the following situation, when she thought about the dangerous situation that she and Gu Xiaole were almost put into twice today, she could only nod her head in agreement.

After Gu Xiaole tied the rope firmly, he made an OK gesture to Ning Lei, kicked off his feet, and soon fell directly from the mountain...

Ning Lei watched his figure getting smaller and smaller from above, still feeling a little nervous.

Even though she was always noisy with him, she also knew that this Gu Xiaole was definitely the kind of good person who meant what he said but didn't mean what he said.

If she hadn't planned to settle at the foot of the Alps with her college tutor, it would actually be nice to have such a man who quarreled with her all day by her side.

Ning Lei blushed when she thought of this. How could she be related to that little hanging thread Gu Xiaole?

Could it be that during these days of getting along day and night, I slowly began to be assimilated by him...

No, that won't work! Ning Lei shook her head vigorously, as if to shake off her good impression of Gu Xiaole.

But when she thought about how she had just become a psychedelic girl who knew nothing, that Gu Xiaole didn't even attack her?

Is it because he really has a problem in that area or is he not attractive enough to attract men?

No, there must be something wrong with him! Ning Lei thought stubbornly.

…

Gu Xiaole here finally reached the bottom of the basin after falling nearly 200 meters.

As soon as he landed, he found that the climate here was not as sultry as expected, and there was actually a cool breeze blowing back and forth among the various vegetation scattered high and low...

This is really fucking weird. This place is obviously a closed basin surrounded by mountains. How can there be wind?

Gu Xiaole didn't have time to think about these things. First, he took the machete from his back into his hand in case he encountered any large beast.

However, he walked out for about 3 or 4 minutes and didn't see anything special. The only thing was that the plants here seemed to be much larger than those outside.

Whether it is the leaves or rhizomes of the plants, they all seem to be the plus version, and there are some plants that Gu Xiaole has never seen before.

Just when he was curious about why the vegetation here was so large, he suddenly felt a rustling sound coming from behind him.

Having been walking in the mountains for a long time, he knew when he heard the sound that the guy coming from behind was quite big, so he turned around and jumped back.

But he was horrified to see a ladybug emerge from the bushes behind him.

Originally, there was nothing new about a ladybug appearing in the jungle, but the size of the ladybug in front of me was really too big.

It seems that its diameter must be at least 20 centimeters, almost catching up with the small vegetable washing basins commonly used at home...

"Is there such a big ladybug in the world?" Gu Xiaole desperately thought about the relevant introductions he had seen from various popular science books or videos.

He knew that there is a large ladybug in South America, but its diameter is no more than five centimeters. Compared with the guy in front of him, he is a younger brother!

But before he could finish being surprised, the huge ladybug ran towards him quickly...

Gu Xiaole was a little panicked now. He had a lot of experience fighting various large beasts, but he had never fought against such a huge insect!

Despite the fact that such little things usually look so naive and dangling around, Gu Xiaole and his family call them silly sisters in their hometown.

But once this thing grows to such a big size, it will obviously not be cute anymore!

Although Gu Xiaole knew that this thing was fed by tiny aphids and should not pose any threat to humans, but seeing the way his six-finger-thick abdominal feet were paddling desperately,
Chapter completed!
