Chapter 159 Entering the Canyon Rainforest

When everyone woke up, it was already noon on the second day, and the scorching sun was high, scorching the earth.

The temperature in the desert is very high during the day. Even the air is boiling under the high temperature of 40 to 50 degrees.

Zhang Yunfeng was the first to wake up. When he saw that it was almost time for dinner, he took out the stove, started a fire to cook noodles, and then added some canned food, mustard and the like, and there was a big pot of hodgepodge.

Not long after, the fragrance spread throughout the camp. After smelling the fragrance, everyone woke up one after another and gathered around the stove.

"Captain, you got up so early?"

Mop walked up to him with a smile and said hello to him.

In the end, Zhang Yunfeng ignored him, which made Mop embarrassed for a while, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Soon everyone got up and gathered around the stove to prepare for dinner, except the fat man who was still snoring in the tent.

Zhang Yunfeng ran into the fat man's tent and kicked him awake.

The noodles were mixed with canned beef and pickled mustard, and the taste was very sour. Everyone ate several bowls. After a while, all that was left of the large pot of food was the bottom of the pot. In the end, the fat man poured in all the residue from the bottom of the pot.

He poured it into his own bowl and ate it all.

After eating and drinking, Xie Lianhuan said to everyone: "Everyone, pack your equipment and prepare to go down. The road ahead is very dangerous. There are a lot of venomous snakes, insects and ants infested here. Let me show you all your tricks."

Then everyone came to the edge of the sinkhole and looked down.

A tiankeng is a meteor crater with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a drop of 20 to 30 meters from the ground. The plants underneath are very lush, making it a desert oasis.

Xie Huanhuan looked at the weather and frowned: "With so many red clouds, it seems there will be a heavy rain. We need to be prepared."

"What preparations?" Pan Zi asked.

Xie Lianhuan pointed at the sinkhole: "The terrain here is very low and the vegetation is lush. Once it rains, all the rainwater will collect inside. It will definitely be troublesome to walk. We must consider this in advance."

Zhang Yunfeng said: "The rain is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in it. Wen Jin's notes mentioned that there are many snakes here. Although he did not write down the specific snakes and how many there are, but I

I think we should prepare in advance.”

"Then..." Xie Lianhuan thought for a while, and then said, "Each person should bring a bag of sulfur powder with him. The smell of sulfur can repel snakes and various mosquitoes. This should avoid a lot of trouble."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded in agreement. In fact, apart from this, they had no other good solution. After all, they couldn't just put on their wings and fly over.

After discussing this, everyone no longer hesitated. They immediately took out their equipment, drilled a few steel cones on the top of the cliff to fix the ropes, and then woven the ropes into a simple hanging basket for carrying the equipment.

Climb down the rope.

By the time they finished doing this, more than an hour had passed. Everyone was so tired that they were sweating profusely and had to take a break.

At this time, large swaths of dark clouds had appeared in the sky, and it looked like it would rain soon.

Xie Lianhuan glanced at the sky and said to everyone in an unquestionable tone: "There is no time, let's set off now!"

Afterwards, everyone scrambled to transport the equipment on the car to the bottom along the hanging basket. Considering that cars could not pass in the sinkhole, some equipment had to be left behind, and they only carried basic supplies and moved forward lightly.

After everything was almost carried, everyone swung along the ropes to the bottom of the sinkhole one by one.

As soon as we entered the sinkhole, we could smell the smell of earth mixed with rotting leaves, and the air was very muggy. This is a common climate in tropical rainforests.

There was no time for everyone to rest. After each of them got their equipment, Zhang Yunfeng led the team and marched towards the depths of the sinkhole.

Since everyone carries a bag of sulfur powder on their body, mosquitoes, snakes and ants on the way will take the initiative to avoid it when they smell the smell of sulfur, but at the same time, there is also a smell of sulfur in the air.

The plants in the sinkhole are very lush, and the terrain is uneven. In some places, the land is cracked by the sun, and in other places, there is a lot of water, making it extremely inconvenient to walk.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunfeng opened the way. He used the Longyuan Sword to cut off all the plants blocking the front, opening a path for the people behind.

Everyone walked along the path he walked to avoid getting stuck in the quagmire.

Even so, after walking for less than an hour, everyone's bodies had already been scratched by vines and thorns. They were all sweating, and the walk was painful and tiring.

Less than an hour after they entered the sinkhole, a figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the sinkhole. It was a blind man wearing black glasses.

It turned out that after receiving Zhang Yunfeng's signal, Heixiazi immediately rushed over to join them. He spent a lot of time trying to get rid of the people from Aning's company on the way, so he was delayed for an hour.

However, with his speed and skill, as long as his legs and feet are faster, it won't take long to catch up with the person in front of him.

Seeing that there were many jeeps parked nearby, with a lot of supplies and equipment on them, the black blind man immediately picked one without saying a word, then quickly swung along the rope to the sinkhole, and chased after the road opened by the crowd.

.

Why didn't the little brother come with him?

That's because the little brother received the news about Ji Lianhuan and asked him to bring Wu Xie over. At the same time, he also wanted to get rid of An Ning's team without anyone noticing, so he didn't come with him.

If the two masters disappeared at the same time, it would definitely attract the attention of Aning's team immediately, so the younger brother stayed, on the one hand, to slow down Aning's team, and on the other hand, to support Tianzhen.

Less than two minutes after the black blind man walked into the sinkhole, another figure emerged from the jungle. This person was Wen Jin, pretending to be the daughter-in-law of Dolma.

It turned out that she noticed the Hei Xiazi's behavior and followed him sneakily. Her purpose was to track the team that solved the serial problem.

Considering that the blind man was very alert, Wen Jin did not dare to follow him too close, so he followed him from a distance, all the way here.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar tiankeng again, Wen Jin felt in a trance. She had brought an archaeological team here before, but at this time the members of the team had differences with her and chose to leave.

In desperation, she had no choice but to enter the tiankeng alone, passed through the tiankeng, and entered Tamutuo.

The edge of the sinkhole was the place where she and the old woman separated. The old woman brought them all the way here, and finally they parted ways.

After more than ten years, she saw the tiankeng again, but she still clearly remembered all the dangers she had experienced there, and how she finally came out alive. It felt like a lifetime ago.
