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 little by little. Thinking of the previous conversation with the two of them, he felt as if a big stone was weighing on his heart.
He touched his face and saw six horizontal lines on his face, but he knew very well that this was fake and could only be used to bluff people.
"How wonderful it would be if I were really a six-color warrior!"
Huo Meng let out a sigh.
Then, he looked at the divine lake where the water level was decreasing day by day, as well as the countless frogs by the lake, and the hundreds of tribesmen in the woods.
"Perhaps one day, the sacred lake will dry up completely. Then, where will our frog tribe go?"
The frog tribe is not strong, it can even be said to be relatively weak, and it no longer has the protection of the totem god. Even if it migrates, it may not be able to find a suitable place to live, and there is still the danger of being killed on the road.
Thinking of this, Huo Meng's brows wrinkled into the character "Chuan". This man who looked very tall and mighty felt helpless like a child at this moment.
……
In the sky of the Western Wasteland, the giant eagle continues to fly forward.
The further you fly, the hotter the temperature becomes, the sparser the vegetation on the ground, and the more serious the desertification situation becomes.
On the twelfth day of the giant eagle's flight, Jiang Xuan and Lao Wu finally saw a real desert!
This place is full of yellow sand. Once a strong wind blows, it will set off a terrible sandstorm and flood everything.
In the evening, the giant eagle landed on an abandoned tribal site.
Jiang Xuan got off the back of the giant eagle, looked at the ruins that were half submerged in sand, then 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 impact. He looked at the endless sand dunes and said in confusion: "How could it become like this..."
Jiang Xuan noticed that there were a large number of dead trees in the sand, half-buried by the sand. Some were severely weathered, and some were relatively intact.
This shows that this place used to be a forest, and the time of desertification should not be particularly long.
Jiang Xuan said to the old wizard: "Judging from 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 resisted by humans."
"Will the territory of the Frog Tribe be like this in the future?" The old witch felt a little unbelievable.
Jiang Xuan nodded affirmatively.
"It's terrible."
At this moment, the old witch could only be glad 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 wood.
When night falls, the desert will cool down rapidly, turning from hot to cold.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
It got dark soon. Jiang Xuan walked around but didn't find anything.
Maybe it's because there is no oasis nearby, maybe it's because the desert has only existed for a short time, and there are no animals that can adapt to this environment.
However, after nightfall, Jiang Xuan found some small bugs and a few lizards with the help of his night vision.
These little creatures, in this newly emerged desert, worked hard to adapt and survive, and did not die due to the drastic changes in the environment.
Jiang Xuan grabbed a lizard about thirty centimeters long, looked at it over and over for a while, and said, "You're lucky, we still have dry food, so we won't eat you today."
Jiang Xuan let the lizard go, and the lizard ran away quickly, obviously frightened.
"I never thought animals could survive in a place like this."
The old witch looked at the lizard going away with emotion.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "There are always some animals with strong adaptability that can survive."
The old witch nodded and said: "Yes, those 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 slept.
The next day, they continued flying on the giant eagle.
In the next few days, they found two oases with water in the desert, where many wild beasts lived, and giant eagles also filled their stomachs in the oases.
On the eighteenth day after they entered the Western Desert, they finally made a major discovery.
It was a huge rift valley, an unknown number of kilometers long, extending straight forward from the Western Desert.
"Oh my god, the earth is cracked!"
The old witch looked at this huge rift valley with no end in sight, and felt a huge shock in his heart. This was a sight he had never seen anywhere.
Jiang Xuan has never seen this kind of Great Rift Valley, but he has heard in his previous life that there is a famous Great Rift Valley on a continent.
But he couldn't figure out whether the Great Rift Valley in front of him was the same as the Great Rift Valley he had heard about in his previous life.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground below shook violently, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The huge rift valley was also shaking, and countless sand and stones rolled down, falling into the bottom of the bottomless rift valley.
"唳!"
The black giant eagle instinctively sensed the danger, and then quickly turned around and flew back.
Not long after the black giant eagle flew away, a mountain peak next to the Great Rift Valley suddenly cracked, and billowing black smoke rose from it, like thick dark clouds.
The giant eagle was frightened and flew further, but Jiang Xuan and the old witch turned back and stared at the cracked mountain.
"Boom!"
Not long after, a terrifying stream of magma spewed out from the top of the mountain like a fountain. The red magma splashed everywhere like water splashes, and then rolled down the mountain.
"Volcano erupts!"
Only after Jiang Xuan saw this scene with his own eyes did he realize how terrifying a violent volcanic eruption was.
Fortunately, this is an uninhabited desert, otherwise it will lead to a huge disaster and countless lives will be lost!
The old witch was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. This world-destroying scene made him feel deep fear.
"Boom!"
Not long after, another volcano erupted, and the sky over there became 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.
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 its direction and flew forward along the Great Rift Valley.
The farther the giant eagle flies forward, the smaller the width of the rift valley becomes. Just like a river flowing upstream, the source of the river water is often just a few puddles.
Gradually, they moved away from the volcanic eruption area, but the Great Rift Valley below continued to extend forward.
Moreover, where the Great Rift Valley is located, earthquakes occur from time to time. Every time the giant eagle lands to rest, it will stay far away from the Great Rift Valley before it dares to land.
After flying like this for three days, they finally arrived at the end of the Great Rift Valley. Here, the gap in the ground was only a few dozen centimeters wide.
"Boom!"
However, after the ground shook for a while, the cracks in the ground continued to extend forward!
If this continues, this Great Rift Valley 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 Eastern Wasteland, the Western Wasteland, the Southern Wasteland, and the Northern Wasteland?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan not only wanted to see the final result, but also felt heavy pressure.
Because he is not sure what the Vine Tribe will become in this drastic change, and whether it can withstand the upcoming tests.
Jiang Xuan said to the old wizard: "The changes in the Western Wilderness 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, based on his knowledge, he can't think of any other reasons.
The old witch looked at the endless rift valley and said, "It's time to go back. I don't know where this rift will end up."
Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "It all depends on God's will."
"Yes, it all depends on God's will." The old witch looked a little complicated, because he thought he wouldn't live for a few more years, and he didn't know how many changes he could see.
Jiang Xuan added: "Since we can't find anything more, I think we should go back."
It took them a while to come out this time. After returning, the ice and snow in the southern wilderness may have melted.
Especially after knowing that the environment in the Western Wilderness has become so bad, Jiang Xuan is eager to return to the tribe to make more preparations and meet future challenges.
"Go back."
The old witch had no objection to this. He had seen so many things during this trip, and he decided to draw all his experiences on animal skins and rock walls when he went back.
The two climbed onto the back of the giant eagle again, and then embarked on the return journey.
"唳!"
The giant eagle circled in the sky, took one last look at the desert, and then flew towards the southern wilderness.
"Boom!"
"Kakaka..."
The ground is still shaking from time to time, and the huge rift continues to extend forward, and no one knows where it will end.
On the way back, Jiang Xuan and the others passed by the Frog Tribe again.
They replenished food and water at the frog tribe.
When parting, Jiang Xuan said to the leader of the Frog Tribe Huo Meng: "If one day your tribe migrates to the Southern Wilderness, you can come to the Teng Tribe to find us."
Huo Meng asked in astonishment: "Aren't you from the Eastern Wild Eagle Tribe?"
Jiang Xuan sat on the back of the giant eagle, showing his neat teeth, pointing at the old witch and saying: "He is a member of the Eagle Tribe, I am not."
"Formal introduction, my name is Xuan, and I am the leader of the Southern Wilderness Teng Tribe. If you can go to the Southern Wilderness in the future, remember to find me, and I will treat you to a good meal."
The giant eagle flew away quickly, but Huo Meng stood there and did not move for a long time.
Jiang Xuan told him the situation on the other side of the Western Wilderness. Although he didn't want to believe it, if the Frog tribe wanted to continue to survive, they had to start thinking about tribal migration.
However, can the frog tribe really migrate smoothly? Huo Meng has no confidence in this.
