The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2890 Grand Canyon

There was still snow falling throughout the area, but compared to the previous situation at the hilly nursery, the current snowfall was nothing.

After all, the temperature has risen to minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, and the snow is no longer falling into ice. Over in the hills, as soon as the snow falls, it is directly frozen into ice. Now the snow here is still snow after falling, and it is still relatively soft.

Of course, if you are walking in this kind of environment, it is better to freeze into ice, because then you don't have to sink into it. Every step you take will sink you into the ice, which consumes a lot of energy. But in the hilly areas, everything is frozen into ice, and you walk on the ice, which has no effect on your walking speed.

In order to avoid being trapped in the snow, all the warriors could only use their energy to move forward on the snow. Fortunately, they had just recovered for a while and were also running for their lives. No, they were still full of energy while rushing on the road.

The further we walked, the higher the temperature became and the thinner the snow became. After walking for less than half an hour, the wind and snow stopped blowing and the ground started to dry up, with the temperature above zero.

"Elder, it seems that we have left the snow-covered area." Qian Wantong said to Qian Ying in front of him.

"Well. The environment here in the valley really surprises me. I never thought that there is a way to control the ambient temperature of a small area. It is really a superb method. I don't know how this method is achieved. It would be great if we could find a way to control the ambient temperature." Qian Ying said.

In fact, as long as this method is mastered, changing the environment in a small area will not only be beneficial to the training of warriors, but can also be used to cultivate animals and plants, so it is very useful to develop the family and enhance the family's strength.

Therefore, this valley must be controlled by the Qian family in the future, and now the warriors of other families should try their best to die if they have the chance. Even if they go out and the people of those families ask how they died, that is another matter.

"Huh? Elder, the marks left by the second team indicate that they are not far ahead of us. We will be able to meet up with them in about ten minutes." Qian Wantong said to Qian Ying when he saw some marks on the stones by the roadside.

The second team, consisting of warriors with lower strength and those who have recovered from injuries but still have some impact on their attacks, will set out in the morning to explore the way. So after the second team has gone a certain distance, they will leave a mark in a conspicuous place to inform Qian Ying and the others.

Qian Ying's team returned to the hilly nursery to collect golden-edged snow lotus.

Unfortunately, their team did not complete the mission and was hunted by strange beasts. If Qian Ying had not run fast, he might have stayed in the hilly nursery and never come out.

At the same time, the Qian family lost two warriors, plus Zhou Zixing and the young man named Li Mo from the Ouyang family, a total of four people were lost in one morning. For the entire team, the loss was relatively large.

Especially Zhou Zixing, the master of the second level of innateness, did not return, which was a huge loss for the entire expedition team.

Along the way in the valley, Zhou Zixing's cooperation and resistance to the beasts were quite good. But without Zhou Zixing's cooperation, the strength of the entire expedition team would decline a lot.

There were three innate masters before they set out, but now he is the only one left. Qian Ying feels that this valley is really quite dangerous. So he has to be careful in the future explorations, otherwise if he encounters danger, there will be no hope of having a helper.

"Very good, you arrange people to notify other families to speed up and meet up with the second team before taking a good rest." Qian Ying said.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Qian Wantong immediately arranged for people to notify them.

When the other family warriors heard the good news, they immediately quickened their pace. After all, after joining the second team, they would be able to rest well, which was everyone's wish. Although they had rested for half an hour and recovered some strength, it was not so easy to recover from mental fatigue.

All the warriors were highly focused when being chased by strange beasts, so after they were safe, they felt very tired.

The team continued to move forward, and after about fifteen minutes, they met the second team of warriors who were responsible for rear guard.

The second team set up a temporary camp on a gentle slope of a stream not far ahead, waiting for their return.

After hearing the news, everyone walked faster and arrived at the temporary camp in just a few minutes.

After the two teams met up, Qian Ying listened to the report from the temporary leader of the second team, and only then did he have time to observe the surrounding environment.

At this moment, the ambient temperature has returned to around 20 degrees Celsius, which is a relatively suitable temperature.

The surrounding valleys are in a relatively open area, several kilometers wide. There is a small river in the entire area, flowing down from the peaks next to the valley, then winding along the terrain, and finally disappearing on the other side of the valley.

However, this was not a problem. The stream was not wide, only a few meters wide. If one wanted to continue forward, one could just cross it. It would not be an obstacle on the road ahead. The obstacle in Qian Ying's eyes was a large canyon not far from him, about a hundred meters away, with a width of nearly fifty meters.

The entire canyon cuts the valley horizontally, and if you want to reach the other side, you have to jump over. It is impossible to cross the canyon from both sides of the valley. Just like the great rift valley we encountered before, after cutting the valley horizontally, both sides spread out, and it is so deep that it is unknown how far.

Qian Ying walked to the edge of the canyon and looked down, only to find that there was another difference between this place and the Great Rift Valley. The Great Rift Valley was easy to see the bottom, and it was full of trees and other plants. But here in the Grand Canyon, it was so deep that you couldn't see the bottom. The entire canyon was about a few hundred meters from the ground, and was filled with thick fog, covering the entire canyon, making it impossible to see how deep the canyon was.

Moreover, looking at the thick fog, I was also a little frightened. This was because the fog was all black, and it covered everything in the thick fog. I could also smell a faint fishy smell, which meant that the black fog was absolutely poisonous and could not be touched.

This cuts off the method of going down, walking to the other side and then climbing up again.

After all, no one knows what is underneath, and how toxic the black fog is. If someone comes into contact with it, will they die immediately?

Although the Grand Canyon blocked everyone horizontally, Qian Ying had to find a way to get through.

Because, on the other side of the Grand Canyon, about a few thousand meters away, there are some huge buildings.

The presence of buildings meant that their expedition had reached the end, and it was also the place with the greatest value of exploration, waiting for them to discover. Perhaps these buildings contained more treasures, or amazing elixirs, etc.

I have seen these buildings before in the Great Rift Valley, but what I saw at that time must have been a mirage, a projection of these buildings. Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked for so long before finally seeing the real buildings.

Of course, Qian Ying was also worried that the buildings he saw might still be mirages, but when standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, the view was not blocked too much, and the buildings looked very real, not like mirages.

Besides, the visual distance is too far to see clearly, so let's use technology! Although electronic technology products cannot be used, telescopes made of optical lenses can be used.

He waved his hand to call Qian Wantong, and asked him to find the telescope. After using it, he found that those buildings really existed. But now, he could only see buildings like the mountain gate archway, and the other buildings were not clear.

After all, the vegetation is so lush that it blocks the view of the buildings behind. When looking from the Grand Canyon, the view is blocked by the vegetation.

However, Qian Ying saw through the telescope that there seemed to be several places on the ground opposite the Grand Canyon where there were medicinal herbs that he was familiar with. Although they were not rare, they were rare and could be used to refine some pills for cultivation.

"Elder, actually when I was setting up the temporary camp here, I also found that there should have been a bridge here in the Grand Canyon that could be passed through. But now it is damaged and cannot be used." The temporary person in charge of the second team, who is also a warrior of the Qian family, said while standing next to Qian Ying.

"Oh? There is a bridge. Take me over there to have a look." Qian Ying said. Since there is a bridge, then can we think of a way through the bridge base?

The Grand Canyon is more than 50 meters wide, but in Qian Ying's eyes, it is not too wide. Unfortunately, there are restrictions in the valley, so it is a bit troublesome to fly over. But it is just a trouble. The width of more than 50 meters can still be passed if you think of a way.

Now that we have the old bridge, we naturally have to go and see if we can make use of it.

Several people walked along the edge of the Grand Canyon for about a thousand meters and came to a place with two huge stone pillars.

"Elder, look, this is the original location of the bridge." said the Qian family warrior.

The two huge stone pillars were very thick, each as thick as two people could hug together, and there were still rusty steel cables remaining on them.

The steel cable may have been there for too long, so after it broke, it did not detach from the stone pier, so it was hanging on the cliff of the canyon. On the opposite side of the canyon, there are two stone piers with steel cables on them, but they are slightly shorter than this one, and they are also hanging on the cliff of the canyon.

Judging from the steel cables and some remaining iron plates, there should have been a steel cable suspension bridge here, but it broke because no one had maintained it for a long time.

However, when Qian Ying touched the two thick stone pillars and then looked at the stone pillars on the opposite side, he realized that if he wanted to cross the canyon later, he might have to rely on these stone pillars.

Forget it, let’s not think about these things for now. We are all very tired now, so let’s take a good rest first before we think about other things.
