In the blink of an eye, this joint exploration team had entered the dense forest at the bottom of the canyon, leaving the road where the team stopped behind.
Opening the way in front of the team were several Israeli security personnel. .
They held sharp jungle machetes and kept chopping down various plants in front of them, such as branches, vines, flowers and plants, etc.
This will not only open the way for the joint exploration team, but also drive away various small animals and poisonous insects hidden on the road ahead.
Ye Tian and others followed closely behind these guys, picking up and filling in the gaps.
They also have a jungle machete, which can be used for self-defense, and they can also deal with things missed by Israeli security personnel to avoid threatening the safety of the brigade.
The rest of the Israeli military police and Ye Tian's security team dispersed to protect the tripartite joint exploration team and several experts and scholars in the middle of the team, and explored and advanced step by step.
Some of the Tigray state military police who followed followed a little further behind.
Although they are locals and are familiar with and adapted to the natural environment here, they have no experience in exploration.
After entering the dense forest in this canyon, they were completely useless and could only follow the team.
Ye Tian’s request for them is very simple, just don’t cause any trouble!
Because this canyon is not wide, only four to five hundred meters.
So Ye Tian did not hire a local who was familiar with the canyon as a guide. Instead, he decided to lead the team by himself and fumble through the canyon.
In front of this exploration team, and in some unseen places around.
Several groups of security personnel under Ye Tian were also sneaking in this dense forest, secretly protecting the joint exploration team.
These groups of security personnel also have another task, which is to secretly supervise the Tigrayans who are following the joint exploration team to prevent them from playing any tricks.
While talking, everyone had walked about fifty meters inside.
At this time, the surrounding vegetation is getting denser and denser, and the light is getting darker and darker, as if dusk has come early.
There are more and more plants that are unknown to everyone, and occasionally a few small animals will appear, surprising everyone.
In fact, what was really frightened were the various animals living in this canyon and in this area.
Wherever the joint exploration team went, many small animals living here would flee in panic, fleeing deep into the dense forest, and then hiding in the distance, watching these uninvited guests in horror.
Those animals that moved very slowly could only hide on the spot, shivering in hidden corners, trying to escape this unthinkable disaster.
While walking, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Guys, stop for a moment, it's a bit dangerous ahead"
Hearing this, several Israeli security team members who were clearing the way in front stopped immediately and looked warily at the dense plants ahead and the dense forest around them.
However, they found nothing.
Around the joint exploration team, there were only large expanses of green plants and nothing else.
"Steven, what danger did you see? Why didn't we see anything?"
Seaman, who was leading the way, turned around and asked, somewhat confused.
Ye Tian looked at the dense woods in front of him, then said with a smile:
"Guys, it's not me who discovered anything, but the little guy White Elf discovered some hidden dangers and warned me, so I'm reminding everyone to pay attention!"
Everyone was suddenly enlightened and a little frightened.
Without exception, everyone looked at Ye Tian's left cuff.
However, he opened a pocket of his coat.
The next moment, the small white translucent eyes that frightened everyone suddenly came out of the pocket.
Ye Tian reached out and stroked the little guy's head, then pointed to the dense forest in front of him.
"Go, little guy, take a look at what's hidden in front of you. If there are any poisonous insects, help everyone get rid of them. You have to be careful yourself"
Before he finished speaking, the little guy flew out.
Like a bolt of white lightning, it instantly penetrated into the dense forest ahead and disappeared.
"Hiss!"
There was a gasp of air-conditioning from the surrounding Israeli security personnel.
Although they knew that this legendary little guy was very scary, they had not seen the white elf several times before.
Seeing this scene with my own eyes at this time, I felt a little frightened.
Seaman, who was standing at the front of the team, looked at the dense forest in front of him and asked with lingering fear:
"Steven, did your little white cobra find any poison, so you issued a warning?"
Ye Tian nodded.
"Indeed, this little guy will only warn me when he discovers a highly poisonous insect, and he will also become more excited. That's when he is feasting.
When I find other animals that are more ferocious but not poisonous, it will not warn me. Maybe in the eyes of that little guy, I can deal with those other animals."
"Ah! I wonder what kind of poisonous insect is hidden here? Fortunately, we didn't continue to move forward, otherwise we might have been infected!"
"I believe we will know the answer soon. Even if we can't see the bodies of those poisonous insects, one thing is for sure, those poisonous insects will no longer pose any threat to everyone!"
After chatting for a while, a white shadow flashed in front of everyone's eyes.
Before everyone could react, the little white elf guy flew to Ye Tian and got into the pocket again.
The little guy didn't hide immediately, but looked at Ye Tian as if he was taking credit.
Ye Tian was not stingy either. He secretly instilled a little spiritual energy into the little guy and gently stroked its little head.
After enjoying this series of treatment, the little guy White Elf got into his pocket with satisfaction and hid again.
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately, and everyone was filled with envy.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said to Ximan and others:
"Guys, I will open the road ahead with you to avoid any accidents. Everyone must obey my command and don't rush in"
Hearing this, Heman and the others turned red.
"Okay, Steven, we'll be careful"
"Okay, let's move on"
Ye Tian nodded.
Afterwards, he asked several Israeli exploration team members to continue to use machetes to clear the way, cutting down the obstructive branches, vines, and various flowers and plants.
In addition, they have to constantly use trekking poles to explore the ground in front of them to see if the ground is solid.
Under the thick layer of leaf litter and humus, is it a solid field, a swamp, or even a cave or crack leading to the ground?
Fortunately, this is the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, not the tropical rain forest of the Congo River Basin. The plant species are very different, the rainfall is not that abundant, and there are very few swamps and the like.
But the geological activities here are very frequent, and there are countless cracks and caves of all kinds, which you may encounter at any time.
Some of these cracks and caves are bottomless, and no one knows how deep they are and where they lead!
Because of this, everyone must be careful.
After only five or six meters, Ye Tian suddenly gestured for everyone to stop.
Seeing his actions, everyone stopped, somewhat nervous.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian asked for a hiking pole from the Israeli security team member next to him, then walked forward and picked out a piece of emerald green snake skin from a tree branch in front of him.
It was the skin of an adult Night Demon snake, about one meter seventy-eight meters long, quite large.
To be precise, this is a Night Demon snake that has just been killed by the white elf and whose flesh has just been corroded.
This green Night Devil snake skin is very fresh, including the snake head and fangs, all parts are intact, but it is already dead.
Because of its emerald green skin color, it blends perfectly with the environment here and is almost difficult to spot.
If the little white elf hadn't warned and killed the night devil snake, it would have been almost impossible for everyone to discover this deadly poisonous snake lurking in the tree.
In that case, when everyone passes under the tree, they are likely to be attacked by this night devil snake.
Looking at this emerald green snake skin, everyone felt their scalps numb and chills running down their backs.
Especially the Israeli security team members responsible for opening the way were even more frightened.
"Damn it, why is there a Night Devil Snake here? Fortunately, this Night Devil Snake was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous"
Xi Man said with lingering fear and wiped a cold sweat.
"It is normal for there to be Night Devil Snakes in this canyon. Don't forget, the peak where the Night Devil Snake Cave was discovered before is on the east side of this canyon. They are connected together.
The exit of the Night Devil Snake Cave is located on the cliff on the west side of the mountain. Below is the canyon. The Night Devil Snake coming out of that exit is likely to fall into the canyon.
Next, we may encounter a lot of night devil snakes. This kind of venomous snake is too hidden. Everyone must be careful and don’t touch anything around them casually."
Ye Tian explained a few words, and then threw the skin of the Night Demon Snake far away.
After a false alarm, the joint exploration team continued to move forward. ,
Next, Ye Tian discovered and picked off several more snake skins from the Night Demon Snake.
Except for these night devil snakes that have been killed by the little white elf guy, no other poisonous insects carrying highly poisonous insects were found in this area.
Obviously, this area belongs to the territory of the Night Demon Snake.
Other animals or other poisonous insects generally will not enter this area.
During the journey, everyone also discovered two caves hidden under fallen leaves!
These two caves are on the only way for the joint exploration team to pass. They are very hidden and difficult to be discovered.
If Ye Tian hadn't reached out in time to grab an Israeli security guard who was clearing the way in front, that guy would have fallen into one of the holes.
Once he falls into that hole, it will be hard to tell whether he will live or die.
After grabbing the Israeli security team member, Ye Tian immediately used a telescopic trekking pole to detect the situation in the cave.
The entrance to the cave is not big, but it is very hidden. It is unknown how deep it is and whether there is any fatal danger hidden!
After finding out the location of the cave, Ye Tian led the joint exploration team around the cave and continued moving forward.
After walking about ten meters, everyone discovered a second hole.
With previous experience, everyone was more careful, and there was no danger this time.
The next exploration process was relatively smooth.
It didn’t take long for everyone to arrive at the center of the canyon.
In the center of this canyon, there is a small river about three meters wide, flowing quietly.
The strange thing is that there is no grass growing on both sides of the river bank for about two or three meters, and no animal footprints can be seen.
There are only countless large and small stones on both sides of the strait, many of which are yellow!
The water in this small river is very clear. Standing a few meters away, you can see the bottom of the river at a glance.
However, there were no creatures in the river.
There were neither aquatic plants nor animals such as small fish, and there was no breath of life. It was completely silent.
The situation is the same on the other side of the river.
The river bank is bare, with only a lot of yellowed stones and no traces of any animals.
A variety of plants gradually appeared about three meters away from the river bank, and the closer to the river bank, the worse the plant growth became, looking all yellow and withered.
If viewed from the air, this small river is like a winding separation zone, dividing the canyon vertically into two distinct halves.
On both sides of this small river, the vegetation is very dense and full of vitality.
But the closer you get to this small river, the sparser the vegetation becomes, and the vitality disappears rapidly until it is completely cut off!
Everywhere this river goes is like a restricted area of life.
Fortunately, this restricted area of life is very small and will not cause much impact. It doesn’t even attract any attention. It is just hidden deep in the canyon!
Seeing this scene, everyone was very surprised and didn't understand why this happened?
At this point, the three-party joint exploration team was forced to stop.
Ye Tian, who was walking at the front of the team, stepped forward to check the situation.
After observing for a moment, for safety reasons, he asked everyone to take a few steps back and leave the bare river bank to avoid any accidents.
Next, he called the Aksum City Representative who came with the team to the front and asked about the situation.
It is a pity that this guy and several other Tigrayans only came to supervise the joint exploration team and have no understanding of the geological conditions in this canyon.
In desperation, Ye Tian could only call his employees to the front, ready to explore the river first to see what they could find.
When everyone arrived, he immediately said:
“Guys, the situation here is a bit strange. Although the river in front of you looks very clear, it is lifeless. There are no living creatures in the river, and the situation on both sides of the river is similar.
If I guessed correctly, the water in this small river should be poisonous or rich in certain minerals that can inhibit the growth of animals and plants, which is why this strange situation occurs.
The people of Tigray don’t understand the situation here, so we can only explore it. Let’s first test the water quality of this creek and the stones on both sides of the creek to see what we can find.
For safety reasons, everyone must pay attention to protection when sampling and testing, and use robots or small drones to take samples as much as possible, and then conduct testing on the spot..."
"Got it, Steven"
Several employees responded in unison.
Then everyone started taking action.
We first used small drones to get some water from the river.
Then he found a way to get two yellow stones from the bank near the river, and then used the exploration equipment he carried to carry out on-site inspection.
Not long after, the test results came out.
"Steven, we figured out that the reason why there are no living things in this creek, and the reason why both sides of the river bank are deserted and lifeless is because this creek contains highly toxic substances.
The water of this creek, as well as the soil and stones on both sides, contain a large amount of arsenic. Arsenic is a highly toxic substance that is widely found in nature and contains fatal toxicity."
My staff introduced the test results.
Hearing this introduction, everyone was startled and took a step or two back in unison.
Everyone knows how toxic the element arsenic is!
Its compound arsenic trioxide, arsenic, is even more famous!
