Chapter 2539: Xu Ning’s Hometown
"Rainbow? I can't tell that you are still such a romantic person." Huang Hao smiled, but he did not understand the meaning of Xu Ning's words.
"No." Xu Ning said, "Did you see the water over there? Usually when the sun appears after it rains on the grassland, you can see a rainbow in the sky."
Lin Ran was a little surprised. These people had never studied physics, but based on experience, everything would be the same.
Indeed, after it rained and in this climate, a rainbow would appear, but he didn't understand what Xu Ning wanted to express.
Xu Ning hesitated for a long time before Lin Ran understood.
He was extremely surprised by Xu Ning's bold speculation, because Xu Ning felt that the storm just happened only in a small area above their heads!
After all, there was lightning and thunder just now, and the lightning falling on the grassland did not cause a fire.
"Maybe it's just a matter of probability." Lin Ran said. He felt that what Xu Ning said made sense, but there was no data to support it, and he couldn't draw a conclusion.
Xu Ning is not an academic to begin with. If people don’t want to hear it, he won’t talk about it.
Walking forward, we came to a river and found a yak carcass beside the river.
Lin Ran and Xu Ning immediately stepped forward to check and found that the yak must have been struck to death by lightning, and its body had turned into charcoal.
Seeing the yak made them feel a little more at ease.
"Fortunately, the yak we saw was probably not an illusion."
Guan Yun took out a military dagger, stabbed the yak twice, and cut off a piece of meat, but it turned into coke.
"Damn, why are you so burned from the inside out!" Guan Yun said gloomily.
They didn't have much food left. At this time, they found the carcass of a yak. Their first thought was to enjoy the food. Although this thing is said to protect animals, in this ghost place, there are no people, so there is no use at all. Worried that someone will come to cause trouble.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ran said, "Yaks usually don't move alone. When you find a yak on the grassland, there will be a group of yaks."
"Uh, but don't they move in groups? I'm afraid..." Guan Yun said. He used to guard the border areas and had never hunted yaks. He was particularly good at lizards and birds.
Shortly after they finished speaking, they saw a yak eating by the river.
There were no other creatures nearby. They probably got separated from the team and came out to drink water.
Although there is a river in this valley, it freezes at night, so the animals will replenish water during the day. In addition, the grass here is growing well, so there should be a lot of cattle and horses coming here to look for food.
The yak just now was just unlucky and was killed by lightning.
But this time, it was even more unfortunate that he became their prey.
No one had eaten in the morning, and now they were sitting around the fire, enjoying the gifts of nature.
Although there was no seasoning, they ate it with gusto.
Only by replenishing physical strength can the exploration work be completed as smoothly as possible.
Sitting next to the fire, their mood improved a lot.
"It seems like what you said is true. Why does the ground where we sit feel dry?" Guan Yun asked while chewing beef.
The water on the grassland is not easy to drain. Unless it has not rained at all, the ground cannot be so dry. This supports Xu Ning's speculation from another aspect.
"What I find more strange than this is the corpse of the yak just now." Guan Yun continued, "I have never seen animals killed by lightning, and even people. This is the first time I’ve seen such good meat.”
He felt a little regretful that such a good fat cow was lost like this.
"This is normal. The voltage of the lightning strike just now must have been very high." Lin Ran said, the cow burnt by lightning is indeed inedible, and eating it forcefully is not good for your health.
There are no big trees nearby, and cattle drinking water by the river become easy targets when struck by lightning.
"There shouldn't be only one, right?" Guan Yun then asked, "I remember hearing thunder several times."
"Well, maybe he fell into the water and was washed away by the river." After his reminder, Lin Ran also felt that something was wrong. The yak herd should act as a team, unless it was like the unfortunate yak just now. Got separated.
It is indeed possible that the missing body was washed away by the river, but are there any signs of rising water here?The body should float on the water.
Xu Ning saw the problem and said, "It probably didn't fall into the river. It can't be washed away so easily."
In fact, there is nothing special about these situations. They vaguely feel that this abnormal weather is just happening around them.
Because the land further down is dry.
Soil erosion is not serious in this place. If there is water, at least the place where you are sitting cannot be dry.
In addition, there is no sign of rising water in the river. If the body fell into the river, it would not disappear so quickly.
"We probably have to leave quickly." Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little worried as he thought about the weird weather just now. The lightning and thunder, coupled with the sudden heavy rain, the abnormal weather outside the canyon, and the strange phenomena he saw before, The connection gave him a strong sense of unease.
The situation Xu Ning mentioned seems to be very similar to the current situation. He is not a person who likes to think. There is only one possibility for saying these words, that is, he has experienced it before.
"Xu Ning, have you been to this canyon before?" Lin Ran asked. He was a cautious person and worried that Xu Ning would misunderstand him, so he asked him in the most concise language.
Unexpectedly, the answer he got was exactly as he guessed.
"Yes, I have been here before." Xu Ning said, and then added: "But I did not enter the valley. There is a legend in our tribe that as long as you enter this canyon, you will definitely die, because the name of this canyon is It’s called Death Valley.”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Huang Hao raised his head and looked at Xu Ning after a long time: "How can you be sure that this is Death Valley if you haven't been here before?"
"Because of that mountain." Xu Ning looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, "When I first saw him, he felt very familiar. It wasn't until I passed through this canyon that I was even more sure that it was the sacred mountain in our tribe's legend. "
Looking at his cautious expression, Lin Ran believed that he was not trying to scare her.
"Yes, I am increasingly discovering that this place is similar to the place where I lived when I was a child, but there are still some slight differences."
