They were originally independent paintings. If Owen Wei had not discovered that some of the lines could be connected to form a large picture, no one would have imagined that there was a map hidden in it.
Now, Owen Wei used a red pen to outline the hidden lines that could be connected, ignoring the other complicated lines used to conceal them. He only looked at the picture drawn with the red pen, and saw continuous mountains with rivers, valleys, gorges and abysses in them, like a vast mountainous area.

The reason why I was so impressed by the Nalenggele Canyon is that it is called the 'Valley of Death', and it also has another nickname, called... 'Gate of Hell'.
"As its name suggests, the Nalengele Gorge is not a good place to go. There are many strange rumors about it, such as people and animals who enter it will never return.
