Chapter 3094 Weird Terrain

After confirming that this was a river of flowing arsenic, the soil and stones on both sides of the river bank were also rich in arsenic, Ye Tian immediately picked up the intercom and said:

"Everyone is careful, everyone wears protective masks and gloves. Don't get close to this river in the middle of the canyon, nor do you touch the soil and stones on both sides of the river, just in case."

"I understand, Steven"

Everyone responded in unison and acted quickly.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had taken protection and retreated a few steps back away from the river in the middle of the canyon.

At this moment, the leader of the Israeli exploration team stepped forward and asked:

"Steven, if we can't touch the water of this small river, nor step on the ground on both sides of the river, how can we pass through this small river?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at him, glanced at the surrounding environment, and then said:

"It's very simple. We use the big trees on both sides of the river bank to build a simple cableway, so that we can slide through the air, so that we can avoid contact with the small river in the middle of the canyon and the river banks on both sides."

The Israeli leader looked at the tall trees on both sides of the river bank, and his eyes lit up.

"It's very good, not only safe, but also not much time."

“It is true, safety comes first.”

Ye Tian nodded.

Then he called Cole and Shiman to their side and said to them:

"Shiman, you release two small drones and explore along this river in both up and down directions to see if you can find out what is coming from and whether you can find out the origin of the large amount of arsenic in this river.

The vegetation in this canyon is very dense, with a wide variety of creatures. It looks normal in other places. Only this small river and the river banks on both sides are completely dead. This situation is really weird.

According to my speculation, the arsenic element in this small river may come from other places, such as a stream that flows into the small river, a spring source, or an undercurrent flowing from a cave, etc.

"I understand, Steven, we'll release a small drone to explore."

Ximan nodded and responded, and immediately took action.

Soon, two small drones of the Israeli exploration team took off.

They flew along the river channel toward both ends of the river and began to explore.

After Ximan left, Ye Tian said to Cole again:

"You use the trees on both sides of the river to set up a temporary cableway above this small river. We pass through this small river from the air. We must pay attention to safety when setting up the cableway, and the cableway must be firm enough."

"No problem, Steven, let's leave these things to us. Everyone has a lot of experience in building cableways and will be able to handle them soon."

Cole nodded and then went to work hard.

After a while, another small drone took off into the air, flew to the other side of the river, began to investigate the situation there, and chose the target tree used to build an aerial cableway.

In a short while, the small drone flew back.

After landing, Cole hung a safety rope at the bottom of the small drone, then manipulated the small drone to take off again and flew to the other side of the river.

In the woods across the river, there is a towering tree of two people holding each other's weight, about twenty meters away from here, which was exactly the target Cole chose.

Ye Tianze took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the dense forest, and checked the situation in the river and surrounding areas.

But he didn't find anything new and immediately retreated.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

The aerial cable car built by Cole and his team was soon completed.

Above this vital river in the middle of the canyon, an air passage has emerged, enough to allow the joint exploration team to pass safely.

After the construction of the aerial cable car was completed, Cole and his team immediately tested it.

Although this cableway looks simple, it is strong enough and safe.

Everything was ready, Cole then stepped forward and said:

"Steven, I'm going to take a guy to slide over first, clear out a place to go there, and then you and other joint exploration team members come over, which is safer."

Ye Tian shook his head.

"No one knows the situation on the other side of the river. If you encounter a highly venomous snake, such as the Night Demon Snake, or other poisonous insects, you may not be able to deal with it, and you may be hit.

So I will take the lead. That little guy from White Elf can deal with all the poisons. When I make sure there is safety and no danger, let the guys slide over and clean up the place."

"Okay, Steven"

Cole had no objection and nodded directly.

As Ye Tian’s subordinates, he has explored countless treasures together.

He knew Ye Tian's magic more deeply than others, and knew that nothing could threaten his safety, so he was very relieved.

Then, Ye Tian followed Cole to the big tree that set up the cableway, preparing to slide over the river.

At this moment, Ximan suddenly came over and began to report their exploration results.

"Steven, you guessed it right, the arsenic element in this small river does come from other places."

Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly became interested.

"Let's talk about it, where do these highly toxic arsenic elements come from? I'm very curious."

Ximan pointed to the towering cliff west of the canyon and said:

"Just from that cliff, to be precise, from the inside of that cliff, about three or four hundred meters above the river, there is a small stream that pours into the river.

The stream was only half a meter wide, and the water volume was very small, but the vitality was cut off where the stream passed, without any animals and plants, and the situation was even more exaggerated than the small river in front of us.

From the point where the stream flows into the river, the lower reaches of the river have become what we see now, and upstream of that point, the banks of the river are full of vitality.

It is completely certain that the poisonous arsenic elements in this small river all come from that small stream, and the source of that stream is the towering cliff west of the canyon.”

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the steep cliff west of the canyon.

"Obviously, the situation of the cliff to the west may be more complicated than what we know. It is not only very steep, but also has complex geological conditions. There may be some secrets hidden inside the cliff.

After arriving below this cliff, before launching the exploration, we need to test the soil and rocks of this cliff to see if it is also rich in highly toxic arsenic!”

"Not to mention that there is such a possibility, this cliff also has no grass growing, which is a bit like the situation on the bank of this small river, like countless herbicides being sprinkled!"

Cole continued.

Ye Tian nodded and continued the topic just now.

"What else have you discovered? Let's talk about it."

Shiman then continued:

“Through the traces of that stream, we find that the stream is likely to appear intermittently, and it will only appear every year during the rainy season and during the abundant water season after the end of the rainy season.

At other times of the year, the stream will disappear. We came here for a coincidence that the rainy season had just ended and the water was in abundance, so we could see the highly toxic stream.

Also, the small river in front of me is not long. It flows south from here for about four or five hundred meters. The small river flows into a cave on the west side of the valley and turns into an underground river.

The geological activity of the Ethiopian plateau is very frequent, and it is also the famous East African Rift Valley. Rivers like this are very common. I just don’t know where this small river ends up flowing?”

After listening to Ximan's introduction, Ye Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, he said:

"From this situation, the underground situation of this cliff west of the canyon may be very complicated. Maybe there is an underground river with abundant water, or even an underground lake."

"Wow! Underground Lake, how is it possible?"

Ximan exclaimed directly, a little unbelievable.

After a few more discussions, Ye Tian ended the topic and came to the big tree with the cableway tied.

When he arrived here, he first looked at the surrounding environment.

Then I looked up and looked at the cableway that was set at a height of five or six meters to see if the ropes and safety ropes of the cableway were tied firmly.

After confirming that there was no problem, he looked at the big tree opposite the river.

The cable used to set up the cableway is tied to a height of about three meters of the big tree, and a thick branch growing westward fixed the cable.

In this way, a certain height difference is formed on both sides of the cableway.

Moreover, the height difference is not very large. The east side is about three meters higher than the west side. This height difference is conducive to controlling the speed of sliding and avoiding any danger.

Starting from the east of the small river, you can easily reach the woods opposite by using the pulley set and safety rope on the cableway.

Next, the security personnel guarding the east side of the river can pull back the safety rope and pulley set, and then send the next group of personnel and supplies to the next group of people and materials.

There are not many tall trees and plants between the two big trees on both sides of the river bank. They are face to face, so there is no need to worry about hitting other trees during the sliding process.

From perspective, Ye Tian quickly grasped the situation of this aerial cableway.

The cableway is safe, simple and practical.

After confirming this, he nodded immediately and said:

"We can start, Cole, I'll go over and clean up first, eliminate the danger, and then let others go."

"Okay, Steven"
