Chapter 3092: Explore the Great Rift Valley

In that abandoned Beta Israeli village, the tripartite joint exploratory team did not find any surprises, only found something of little value.
These things include ancient pottery and stone carvings, as well as some worn-out weapons and metal farm tools.
The most valuable of these is a stone stele full of Guise language, which records the origin and development of this Beta Israeli, which has been recorded until the tenth century.
As far as Israel and Ethiopia are concerned, this stele has certain historical and cultural value and is worthy of careful study.
For the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, this stone monument is of little value.
This Beta Israeli has not caused any waves in history, nor has any amazing inventions and creations. The cultural relics that record the development of their tribes naturally have no market value.
In just about two hours, the three-party joint exploratory team ended this exploratory operation and walked out of the valley.
Afterwards, everyone drove back to downtown Axum.
The return journey was fairly smooth, without any trouble.
Not long after returning to the hotel, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent, as well as Seaman, came over.
As soon as he entered the door, Joshua said:
"Steven, as we expected, the Tigray people started their operations this afternoon and temporarily organized an exploratory team to explore the cliff west of Aksum.
As a result, they found nothing but said nothing, and took two lives. They sent someone to descend from the cliff to check the situation on the cliff, but the safety rope somehow broke.
The two exploratory team members who descended from a cliff nearly three hundred meters high fell directly into a pool of fleshy mud, but no one could explain the cause of this accident.
The Tigray people’s exploration can only come to an end in a hurry. According to the news we have heard, the accident seems to have a weird aura, and it doesn’t look like it was caused by humans."
"Ah! There are such things, it's so interesting!"
Ye Tian said in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, he asked again:
"Since the Tigray people descend and set up a safety rope, they should be guarded. Doesn't the guy guarding the safety rope know the cause of the accident?"
Seaman nodded, then continued:
"As far as we know, at the top of the cliff, although the terrain is undulating, there are no thicker trees and boulders protruding from the ground, so it is not easy to descend.
The Tigray people drilled a few steel drills on the ground to set up the cable drop device. After the setting was completed, they tried it. It is said that it is still very strong and looks okay.
During the cable-dropping exploration, there was no problem at first. When the two exploratory team descended about 50 meters along the cliff, the steel rods were pulled out.
At that time, the two guys guarding the safety rope, one went to urinate next to him, and the other was calling his family while they did not see what happened."
"In this way, the situation is really a bit weird. I hope that when we explore tomorrow, this weird thing will not happen."
"We speculate that it may be because the rocks there are relatively loose, but on the surface it looks okay. When the Tigray people drove steel drills into the ground, they actually buried a safety hazard.
When the two exploratory team members descended down the cliff, every action they made was exerting pressure on the steel rods, pulling the steel rods loose a little bit, and finally pulled them out directly."
"This kind of possibility exists, and the Tigray people have helped us explore the way. It is a lesson for us. We must pay attention to these problems when we set up the rope and drop facilities!"
"Understood, Steven, for the sake of safety, if we are going to drop off, it is best to set up multiple insurances just in case!"
Ye Tian nodded, and then said:
"The cliff is very high and very steep. In addition, the geological conditions are complicated and there is no grass growing on it. We must take a closer look before proceeding with the rope-descent exploration.
Joshua, you'd better prepare two helicopters, a medium helicopter, and a small helicopter. I am going to take a helicopter to observe the cliff thoroughly."
Hearing this, Joshua nodded immediately.
"No problem, Steven, leave this to us. When the three-party joint exploratory team arrives there tomorrow, the two helicopters will also arrive at the same time."
Next, everyone will continue to discuss the exploratory actions that will be launched tomorrow, and formulate various possible response plans.
It was not until the evening that Joshua and the others left.
After they left, Ye Tian immediately began to call the security personnel who were employed by him and were lurking around Axum at the moment, and assigned various tasks to them.
Busy, this day has passed.
...
Around 8:30 in the morning.
Ye Tian brought his staff, security personnel, and many exploration equipment down from the hotel upstairs to prepare for today's exploration operation.
The goal of the tripartite joint exploratory team today is the steep cliff that allowed the Tigray people to come home yesterday and sacrifice two lives.
When Ye Tian and the others arrived in the hotel lobby, Joshua, the Bishop of Kent and others, as well as other members of the tripartite joint exploration team, were already waiting here.
A group of Tigray people, represented by the deputy mayor of Aksum, have also rushed here, ready to set off with everyone.
It can be seen that the faces of these Tigray people are very gloomy, and there is also a little worry in their eyes.
After meeting everyone, it was naturally a polite greeting, and they greeted each other a few words.
When greeted the Tigray people, Ye Tian and the others did not mention the accident that happened yesterday, as they had never heard of it.
Afterwards, everyone walked towards the entrance of the hotel.
Numerous vehicles of the tripartite joint exploration fleet have already arrived at the hotel entrance, stopping end to end in a row.
After walking out of the hotel, Ye Tian boarded the armored SUV he was riding in the first time, and did not respond to media reporters who asked loudly outside the cordon.
When everyone got on the car, the joint exploration convoy drove away from the hotel, escorted by a large number of military and police vehicles, and drove straight to the mountainous area west of Aksum.
Like yesterday, today's trip out of the city is another pass through.
Fortunately, it was early for the meeting. There were not many Tigray people and Orthodox monks and believers on the street, and the motorcade did not encounter any trouble.
It didn't take long for the convoy to exit the city of Axum smoothly.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a huge helicopter engine in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, three helicopters roared from a distance, appeared above the convoy, and flew westward with the convoy.
Among the three helicopters, there are two medium helicopters and one small helicopter.
As soon as he appeared, Seaman's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, this is our helicopter. Those two medium-sized helicopters can be used for security missions and can also transport joint exploratory team members and various exploratory equipment and materials.
As for the small helicopter, you can take it to explore the valley and the steep cliffs, and the helicopter pilot can also be replaced by your crew."
Upon hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Received, Seaman, I hope we can find something today"
While they were talking, the deputy mayor of Aksum and several other Tigray people were looking at the helicopters in the sky, full of envy and jealousy.
"Steven and these guys are too well prepared, all kinds of exploration equipment are available, and the logistical support is also very good. No wonder they can find one treasure after another!"
"Who said no! If we had such advanced exploration equipment, there would be no accident yesterday. Two people died in vain, but nothing was discovered!"
The convoy drove west for about half an hour before reaching the peak that it had explored before.
But the convoy did not stop here, but turned to the southwest, preparing to bypass the mountain and enter the canyon west of the mountain.
When passing under this mountain, Ye Tian and the others looked up to the top of the mountain through the car window.
It can be seen that there is still lingering smoke on the top of this mountain.
It was the Tigray people burning the snake cave of the night demon snake, trying to kill all the night demon snakes hidden in the snake cave, and the snake eggs scattered all over the snake cave.
They have set fire to them since yesterday. After burning for a whole day, it is estimated that all the stones in the snake cave were almost burned.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but talk.
"Unexpectedly, the efficiency of the Axum people is still quite high. They started so soon. As a result, those terrifying Night Demon Snakes will probably become extinct."
David said with emotion.
Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:
"The Aksum people are obviously very afraid of the Night Demon Snake. It is not exaggerating to say that this kind of poisonous snake is their nightmare. Because of this, they are so decisive when they find the snake cave.
As for the extinction of the Night Demon Snake, I don't think it is possible. Don't forget that another exit of the Night Demon Snake Snake Cave is completely open on the cliff on the west side of the ruins of the ancient castle.
The Night Demon Snake that comes out of that exit may fall into the gorge below, or even climb along the cliff to the gorge below. In today’s exploration, we may encounter it."
Hearing this, David couldn't help shivering.
"It's better not to run into that kind of poisonous snake. It's frightening to look at it. If you get a bite, you have to finish it straight away."
It took another fifteen minutes before the convoy bypassed the mountain and stopped at an entrance to the canyon on the west side of the mountain.
Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and landed on the side of the road after the convoy stopped and confirmed the safety of the scene.
Standing on this highway and looking to the west, you can just see the towering and steep cliffs, which is quite shocking when seen from a distance.
There was no grass growing on that cliff, and it was bare, with no trace of green visible.
But the canyon below the cliff is full of green and dense vegetation, which is close to the primeval forest.
Fortunately, the distance from this entrance to the cliff is not far, only four to five hundred meters, and it does not seem to be very difficult to pass through this forest in the canyon.
When Ye Tian looked at the canyon environment, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent had already walked over.
The Tigray people, headed by the deputy mayor of Aksum, stood more than twenty meters away, observing the situation here, while discussing something in a low voice.
When he came closer, Joshua began to introduce the situation here.
"Steven, yesterday the Tigray people explored this cliff on the west side, choosing to go up the mountain from another direction, and then descend from the mountain to explore. This is relatively easy and saves time.
This time we have to pass through the densely-vegetated canyon in front of us to reach the cliff on the west side. It is relatively difficult. In this canyon, there may be some unpredictable dangers hidden."
Ye Tian nodded, and then said:
"Our exploration goals are different from those of the Tigray people. Naturally, we have to adopt different methods to start exploring from the bottom of the cliff, which will help us understand the situation of the cliff more comprehensively.
After we find out the basic situation of the cliff, if we really need to descend and explore, then we can use the medium helicopter to transport the exploratory team to the top of the cliff, which can advance and retreat"
After discussing a few sentences, an Israeli archaeologist began to introduce the geology here.
"Steven, the gorge in front of you and the peaks on both sides are part of the rift zone of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, with frequent geological activities and rich biological species.
This canyon is about four to five hundred meters wide. The bottom of the canyon is relatively flat, the vegetation is dense, and there are many animals and plants. There is a small river in the canyon, which is not difficult to pass...."
Next, the archaeologist went on to introduce the situation of this canyon in detail.
At the same time, many members of the tripartite joint exploration team are making various preparations, and everyone is full of expectations.
Due to environmental constraints, some exploratory team members, including Joshua and the Bishop of Kent, could not follow Ye Tian and the others to start operations this time, they could only stay here and wait for the results.
A part of the Tigray people headed by the deputy mayor of Aksum, as well as representatives of all parties, can only stay here.
In a short while, Ye Tian had a general understanding of this canyon.
After the Israeli archaeologist finished the introduction, he took out the mountaineering bag from the armored SUV behind him, carried it on his back, and put on a fisherman hat and so on.
Of course, there are weapons and equipment such as assault rifles and jungle machete.
In just a few moments, he was ready.
Immediately afterwards, he will gather all the joint exploratory team members and security team members who are going to follow him into this canyon and start an exploration operation.
When everyone arrived, he first glanced at the situation in the canyon, and then said aloud:
"Guys, next we will enter this densely-vegetated gorge, go under the towering cliff opposite the gorge, and start exploring.
Although this gorge is not very wide and I believe it cannot be passed, it is still necessary to be cautious. No one knows whether there is any danger hidden in the gorge.
Before entering this gorge, everyone carefully checked their attire and the equipment they carried with them, especially paying attention to the protection.
For example, cuffs and necklines, trouser legs, etc., must be pierced to prevent being bitten by poisonous insects. In addition to poisonous insects, be careful of other animals.
In addition, things like mosquitoes and lees in the forest, and even every tree and old vine you encounter, may hide unknown dangers.
During the journey, it is best not to touch the animals and plants that you see along the way. The more beautiful they are, the brighter the colors, and the more dangerous they are.
After entering the canyon, everyone must maintain a good formation and take care of each other. The security staff and I will protect everyone's safety, don't worry! "
Next, Ye Tian said some precautions and reminded everyone before ending his speech.
When the voice fell, everyone immediately began to check their attire and personal equipment. Everyone was very serious, lest there be any omissions.
At this moment, Cole stepped forward and whispered to Ye Tian:
"Steven, our people have entered this canyon early in the morning, started a search, and released three small drones with infrared thermal imaging cameras to monitor the conditions in the canyon.
If someone else breaks into this canyon, it will be difficult to escape our monitoring. Judging from the current situation, this canyon is relatively safe, and you can enter it with confidence! "
Ye Tian smiled softly, then whispered:
"Good job, let the guys keep an eye on the movement inside and outside the canyon. If we don't find anything, it will be very peaceful here. If we make a major discovery, that's another matter!
In view of this ~EbookFREE.me~ we must be prepared to deal with all kinds of accidents. In my opinion, no matter how valuable the treasure, even the treasure of Solomon, is not as important as everyone’s life."
"Understand, Steven, we will be ready"
Cole nodded in response.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has checked their equipment and is ready to enter this canyon and start exploring.
For safety's sake, Ye Tian quickly scanned everyone.
After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately drew the jungle machete hanging on the outside of his thigh and pointed it at the deep canyon ahead.
"Guys, let's set off, let's take a look under the towering cliff on the opposite side and see if there are any secrets hidden there, and if it can bring everyone a huge surprise!"
When the voice fell, he took the lead to step out, walked off the highway, and walked towards the gorge ahead.
Other joint exploration team members and security personnel immediately followed, and everyone walked towards the canyon together. Everyone was excited and full of expectations!
