Chapter one hundred and twentieth, the bottom of the Great Rift Valley

African tropical grasslands are distributed on the north and south sides of African tropical rainforests, the equatorial area of ​​the eastern plateau and the western part of Madagascar. They surround tropical rainforests in the shape of horseshoe. The distribution area accounts for one-third of the continent's area and is the largest tropical savanna area in the world.

After several transfers to Cairo, Egypt, Alice and her friends took the lead in the famous East Africa Rift Valley.

"Wow, look, it's so satisfying!"

Looking from the helicopter to the ground, the cabin was filled with excited screams of girls.

The entire shape of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa can be drawn into an irregular triangle. The valley is several tens to two hundred kilometers wide and 1,000 to 2,000 meters deep. It is the largest fault zone on the world's land. Not to mention just taking a helicopter, even if you can see it directly through satellites, it is certainly not a fame.

"Uncle Akaman, why don't we go to the bottom of the valley and maybe we can meet a man-eating crocodile~"

It was Wuya's father who flew the plane. As a well-known member of the Delta Special Forces, it was reasonable to know how to fly the plane. When they first met, Oscar even took the lead in Sissi and pulled the other party to ask questions, as if he had regarded Wuya's father as Rambo.

"I'll give you a brief introduction."

Mr. Akaman also has black hair and his arms are covered with obvious tendon flesh. While controlling the helicopter to fly over the rift, he said: "The bottom of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa is an open field, with more than twenty narrow and long lakes in the entire range. Lake Navasha and Lake Nakuru in the middle are habitats for birds and other animals, and are also the most important tourist area and wildlife reserve in Kenya."

"In fact, before seeing the bottom of the valley, many people always imagine that there must be a narrow, dark, gloomy, and terrifying deep ravine. Not only is there no one in the world, but there are also weeds and rocks everywhere. But in fact..."

"I can understand this very much."

In the cabin, Alice suddenly covered her face, as if she was thinking of something unbearable to look back on: "Just October last year, when we were in the seventh grade, we were in the geography class. The teacher talked about the Strait of Malacca and said that it was an international waterway that communicated the Pacific and Indian Oceans, especially the lifeline of RB at sea, so all kinds of tankers and freighters kept coming and going..."

Mr. Akaman doubted that he was: "Yeah, that's it, is there any problem?"

"…And then an idiot in our class asked, saying…What if a stone fell down and smashed the boat?"

Everyone in the cabin was immediately dumb. If it weren't for the sound of helicopter propellers, it would have been so silent.

Mr. Akaman also felt that he was a little too confused: "What's the situation with stone...?"

Alice leaned against the aircraft cabin lazily and laughed, "Our geography teacher asked the same question, and then the silly boy said, "Didn't Malacca be a strait? It must be a channel sandwiched between two cliffs. If a stone falls down, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Well, this is indeed a very good and powerful reason. Mr. Akaman, who has the most knowledgeable knowledge, was choked to death. James shook his head with a dissatisfaction and kept sighing that if that stupid boy was his student, he would have to beat him up.

Wuya couldn't help but speak: "Did he understand the word Strait as Vally?"

Alice curled her lips: "Wrong, it's actually because our teacher is a Korean immigrant, and he remembered the words wrongly."

Uh...well, a more powerful reason.

Soon after, the helicopter slowly landed at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. Of course, this is not a stone falling from both sides, which can knock the underworld path that passes by the cruise ship, with a width of twenty or thirty or even two hundred kilometers. What does that mean? It is a broad grassland that looks at each other and is invisible to the end!

"We'll sleep here tonight!"

On the green grass, the helicopter was docked peacefully on a high ground. Below the slope was a clear lake water, like an extremely huge crystal sapphire. Alice stood by the lake, stepped on a shallow layer of lake water, facing the clear sky and the endless valley continent, shouting: "I-am-the-king-of-the-word!"

Sissi was busy moving a tent. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes: "Who is there anyone who made such a declaration in the bottom of the valley? Even if it is not the top of Mount Everest, you have to stand on the Empire State Building, right?"

Alice ignored Sissi's complaints and looked northwest. The width of this valley bottom is about forty kilometers. It is flat bottom, and the sight is just a lush forest. Those who have passed through the Grand Canyonland may find it difficult to believe that the so-called underground forest can actually exist. Although there is a bright sky above, in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as they think of words like the valley bottom, most associations can only feel narrow.

But the forest in front of her was really dense and vast. Alice stepped barefoot on a towering rock in the lake and looked over in the distance, and could hardly see much. Even after using her mental power, she was still surprised to find that the depth of the forest far exceeded her detection radius, which was definitely not as simple as a few miles.

"Sisi, Ashley, everyone!"

Alice stood on the rock, pointed to the forest and said, "How about we go there to explore?"

Ashley's eyes lit up the first time, and she followed her into the lake bed, then climbed up the big rock with all her might: "Do you want to have a forest adventure? Add me one and add me one! But Alice, will there be a python or scorpion inside? If you accidentally step on a poisonous centipede, we don't have a universal antidote."

Alice sneered, "Please, stupid, that's all creatures that only exist in the rainforest. This is just an ordinary forest. Although it feels like a rainforest, it's still far from that."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, ladies."

Mr. Akaman could hear their voices from afar. After setting up a tent, he shouted: "The characteristic of the rainforest is that the soil is poor and nutrients are gathered in the trees. Look carefully, the height of this forest is not comparable to that of ordinary trees."

That's true. In fact, Alice is also thinking about the classification. The forest in front of her has not reached the level of a traditional tropical rainforest. If Mount Tai is allowed to drill in, there are probably not so many vines to give him "Oh Oh~", but it is much lush than ordinary forests. Anyway, ordinary evergreen broad-leaved forests cannot compare to them.

"So, this is the characteristic forest formed under the valley of the savannah."

Xixi also walked along the lake and climbed up the huge rock: "Anyway, we come to Africa, and we just play no matter how we play. It's good to stroll around the edge of this forest, but we must be careful to get lost."

Lost is indeed a fatal behavior in traveling to tropical forests, and this is not a problem that can be solved with a compass. If it is the Antarctic continent, as long as the direction is clear, no matter how cold and snowy it is, it will be all the way north. However, in terms of the complex terrain of the tropical rainforest, anyone who has no ability to survive in the wild can only go deeper will be a capital-case death.

However, even the danger is not as good as everyone's curiosity. Fortunately, Mr. Akaman can really be a guide. In fact, on the way to Cairo, he was already teaching everyone's survival skills in the wild on the plane. Alice carefully savored it, this uncle's ability is probably no worse than that of Beth.

Yes, they are all from the special forces after all. Even in terms of recipes, how can the British eat something, and how can the heroes of the Delta give in?

On the night when they arrived at the bottom of the valley, everyone who had traveled for a day quickly fell into their dreams. On the green grass by the lake, several unique tents were built there. On one side was a vast sapphire-like lake, and on the other side was a dense and lush forest. Under the starry sky, it did not give people the feeling of being at the bottom of the valley at all.

Alice slowly opened her eyes.

This is a very large tent, Sissi, Ashley, Maiya and Hannah lie side by side without feeling crowded. At this moment, several girls are sleeping deeply, and each of them has different postures.

Wuya slept the most honestly, with her hands on her chest. To be honest, she felt like she was about to enter the coffin; Hannah hugged Sissi, rubbing her head against her armpits, and she seemed to be drooling; Sissi frowned from time to time, humming a few times, not knowing what she dreamed of; as for Ashley, she put her left foot on Sissi's thigh, and her right foot just now, and she opened her mouth and kept snoring. She wanted to say who was the most stupid sleeping, which was her.

Alice sat up, stretched her muscles and bones a little, and then walked out of the tent.

No matter what month, there is no time for the African continent to be unhealthy. The local area is not distinguished from spring, summer, autumn and winter, only the bitter dry season and the festive rainy season. Alice stood at the entrance of the tent, stretched her arms and kicked her legs, and started to do the third set of radio gymnastics for middle school students. After having enough fun, her originally blue pupils had turned black.

In the afternoon, when I first scanned the forest, although I was just to detect the area, I still felt something strange.

Alice's mental power is actually not very strong. Although she can kill Spider, beat Batman, and she can also rub the green arrows into yellow arrows or shining mai, it is even easier to make Black Widow lose her mind and stick to herself... but that's it.

From a professional perspective, she is not as good as a chakra like Professor X, who can be as good as a helmet in the world, but she is still a whole Kaguya-level chakra.

But this was enough for her to catch the flashing thing in the jungle. Although it was not big, it became a blank in the scanning area. After her own scanning covered all directions, she quickly ran deeper from the edge of the jungle...

What is that?
