Chapter 364

In the depths of the Nevada Desert, Johnny Blaze is naturally going to take Luo Shan on a motorcycle, while Ling Xiao and Jonathan can only move forward by own method, but it is different now. At night, the speed of Johnny Blaze under normal conditions was not much faster, so everyone not at all rushed back to San Francisco. After confirming the specific location, the entire group rushed to the nearest city, Salt Lake City.

At the Salt Lake City airport, the four Ling Xiao ran into Hill who had been waiting there.

As for what happened last night, SHIELD was naturally impossible to ignore, and then sent the entire group back to San Francisco by the way. Hill had already asked the whole sequence of events clearly.

“Ling, you’d better say hello in advance for such things in the future.” After getting off the plane, Hill complained somewhat dissatisfied.

“Even if I don’t say anything, SHIELD knows what SHIELD should know.” Ling Xiao said flatly as he walked out, “And in this matter, I also I don’t think SHIELD can help much.”

Ling Xiao’s speechless words from Hill, after understanding what happened, even Hill, who has always been proud of SHIELD, had to admit , In this matter, they really can’t exert much effort unless it is a nuclear bomb…Of course, no one dares to mention this topic casually.

After returning to San Francisco, Ling Xiao did not stay much longer. In the afternoon, he said goodbye to Johnny Blaze and Roxanne Simpson and returned to Los Angeles.

Human Torch Jonathan has already rushed back to New York before him. Invisible Woman has personally called him and scolded him, and asked him to rush back to New York immediately. The whole sequence of events, make it clear in detail.

Although this incident has come to an end temporarily, Ling Xiao knew in his heart that this incident was endless, and he even had a faint feeling that the story of Ghost Rider had just begun.

Back in Los Angeles, Ling Xiao had just rested for a few days before he was busy again. But this time he was not busy with cultivation, but was busy buying land, buying farms in the Central Valley on the west side of Sierra Nevada.

After having an experience, once again came to Sierra Nevada, Ling Xiao appeared directly on the top of Mount Whitney. It is covered with snow all year round, the top of the mountain is piled with stones, and the howling wind blows by, and in the dark clouds covering the head, it seems that lightning can be seen flashing in it.

The height of Mount Whitney is actually not high, 4420 meters, which is exactly half of the height of Mount Everest at 8,842 meters, but it is already the highest mountain in United States. Not only that, Mount Whitney is the lowest point of United States. Death Valley, only one step away.

Compared with the slightly deserted area on the east side of Sierra Nevada, the Central Valley on the west side of the mountain range is a lush and prosperous scene, almost along the west side of the mountain range, can be seen everywhere. The National Forest Park makes the contrast more obvious.

On the top of Mount Whitney, the trees are long gone, only the rugged rocks, range upon range of mountains, the canine-toothed mountain walls, and the alpine glacial lake that can be seen everywhere. Looking north, there is Mount Russell, which is only 120 meters short, and to the south, there is the Muir Peak in a row of canine teeth. On the west side of Mount Whitney, this is Hitchcock Peak with the same name as the great director.

The entire mountain system is lined up like this. Because the crust stretches from east to west, it pulls into many north-south strips. Each of them is like a door panel. The underground lava rises towards the east. The west end of the next door is scraping the east side and sinking, so the east side of the mountain is the cliff that scares the dead, and the west side is slower; because the underground lava is solidified, the piles here are all granite Large stones.

Because of the bad weather, the management office prohibits visitors from climbing the peak on this day. As far as you can see, on the top of the peak, there is only Ling Xiao, and one, I don’t know when An unmanned stone house built.

Ling Xiao walked along the mountain range and walked westward. After a short while, he saw a small stream melted by the ice lake water flowing down from the top of the peak. The stream is extremely cool and clean. Drink a little The last bite gives me a refreshing feeling.

Looking for the nodes of the rocks, Ling Xiao appeared at the end of the line of sight when he flickered. Along the way, he did find a lot of Spiritual Qi Converging Ground, but he wanted to provide him for his own cultivation. , But it is far from enough.

It took a whole day, Ling Xiao finally appeared in the forest at the foot of the mountain range on the west side, but this is not a national forest park, but a private park called Anderson A piece of forest, the forest area is about 5,000 acres, about 20 square kilometers.

In this redwood forest, there are not only lakes, creeks, but also a small pasture under the mountain, which breeds hundreds of cows.

The reason for staying here is that Ling Xiao found a secret narrow mountain cave on the back of a peak outside this private park. The spiritual Qi is revealed from the cave and walks Among the mountains and forests belonging to the national park, this area is extremely dense and numerous beasts.

This narrow mountain cave leads to several hundred meters deep underground. Along the narrow and rugged mountain cave, Ling Xiao enters the belly of the mountain, and finally stops at a place where I don’t know where it is. Among the large caves, here is the end of the entire cave.

In the cave that is tens of meters wide, although there is a gulf of spirit lake, the whole cave does not appear wet at all, and the small small caves leading to the outside will be refreshed. The mountain breeze brought in, making the whole cave look particularly dry.

And this cave is the location of the dragon’s ears in the southern part of Sierra Nevada, and it is one of the final nodes of the mountain trend.

Reaching out into the spirit lake, a icy feeling immediately penetrated Ling Xiao’s body. If he hadn’t converted his physique into Loki’s Frost Giant Body in time, I’m afraid his The body has long been frostbitten.

After staying in the mountain cave for a while, Ling Xiao used Shadowcat’s ability to find out every passage from the cave to the outside, but he didn’t at all. Blocking, just narrowing every passage, and doing some tricks at one or two of the obvious cave entrances to make it no longer easy to be found, and at the same time completely blocking the middle section, it looks like it has been from the outside It’s the same.

When Ling Xiao walked out of the mountain cave, people appeared in this private park. In this park, there is a lake with a radius of 50 meters, and there is a small river in the middle of which is transformed into high mountain ice water. At some mountain pass, there is also a waterfall, and the environment is extremely beautiful.

However, it is such a place that looks very much like a private resort. Ling Xiao inquired a little bit and found that such a place has been sold to the outside world. In the past, the owner of this piece of land often cut down trees and suffered serious damage. Fewer environmentalists protests.

that’s all right. Protests belong to protests. It only affects the mood. The relatively troublesome thing is that in recent years, there have been several large-scale fires in the mountain forests of Sierra Nevada every summer. It is implicated three or four times, and the loss is in several millions every year.

This land has been listed for a long time before. Anderson Park was listed for sale for the first time two years ago at an asking price of 14 million USD. In two years, the price of this piece of land has dropped to 11 million USD. Ling Xiao asked the price a little bit. If Ling Xiao is willing to take over, this piece of land can be sold for 10 million USD at night.

According to the summer weather forecast published by the Ministry of Land and Resources, this summer will also be a dry season. The chance of large flame hair in the forest will exceed 70%, so when summer is coming, someone is willing to take over , Of course it is hard to ask for.

If Ling Xiao is willing, the price can still be pushed down, but Ling Xiao left after asking the price again. After a while, he paid 7.32 million USD. , Bought a 200-acre creek pasture opposite Anderson Park.

This ranch has nearly 100 acres of water or underground irrigation area, 4 houses, several outbuildings, ponds, year-round streams, and it can be seen from the ranch to the distance Sierra Nevada snow mountain and forest scenery, deer, turkey, quail and pigeons can be seen all year round in the pasture, and perch can be caught in the reservoir. Migrating geese and waterfowl will stop in the pastures and reservoirs here in winter.

Just after this creek pasture was bought by Ling Xiao for half a month, the ownership of the private park opposite was quietly transferred.
