After several days of running, Liu Yuanshan and his party were already sleepy, and when they heard that they could rest by the river for a few days and slowly look for ore, they were very happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Leaning on the open space on the north bank of the river, four or five tents were set up in one go, pots and spoons were spread out one after another, some went to the river to fetch water, some made fires on the riverbank, some washed the prey, and some stood guard and patrolled, and they were very busy.

Liu Yuanshan is very idle, with the help of edamame, he holds a shotgun and aims at the mountains and rocks in the distance, shooting one shot at a time, and occasionally letting his good brothers try their hands to feel it.

Finally, the last rays of sunlight flooded the trees, and the sky went completely dark.

The silence was like a dead world, no birds chirping at night, no wild beasts roaring, only the various insects of the spring evening, faintly chirping.

The moon rises and hangs in the sky like a white jade plate, the trees in the distance are stacked like dark clouds on the ground, and the black mountains are continuous, surrounded by far and near, just like a funnel, emitting a cold light under the moonlight.

The mountains are as low as beasts!

Five tents were gathered in a circle, and a large bonfire was lit in the middle, and ten teenagers with childish faces were surrounded by the bonfire, watching Liu Yuanshan take out the last jar of wine with an excited face, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The dry wood in the bonfire crackled, and the night breeze in the mountains blew, and the fire became more vigorous, Liu Yuanshan poured out the wine in the jar and divided it into ten parts, including one for everyone including him.

"This is the last jar of wine, drink it to relieve fatigue, and everyone on duty at night will cheer up and continue to work tomorrow!" Liu Yuanshan raised the big sea bowl and said to the people around him.

The crowd applauded, laughed and drank a bowl of mixed wine, and then began to eat.

The food is very simple, although it carries a lot of food, but once it reaches the forest, it is rarely eaten, and most of the time it depends on broth and wild fruits to satisfy its hunger. It's late spring, and there are fewer wild fruits in the mountains, so everyone still basically relies on wild beasts to feed themselves.

As for the rice that was brought, it was difficult to eat it at other times except for a gruel meal in the morning. Now for this group, rice is a luxury, and meat has become a general meal.

After eating, everyone returned to the tent, leaving Bian Keng to patrol with one person, saying that it was a patrol, in fact, it was similar to standing guard, the two of them guarded five tents on the left and one on the right, and they could shout loudly once something happened, and the other people in their sleep were carrying weapons with them, and they could rush to help at any time in case of emergency.

If there are no accidents, a different person will be brought to the vigil in the second half of the night.

Liu Yuanshan and Maodou sleep in a tent, so naturally they don't have to be on duty at night.

Although it is deep into the Shennong Mountain, but for some reason there are few large and ferocious beasts, there is nothing to do all night, and after eating early the next morning, everyone began to survey the surrounding mountains!

With the tent station by the river as the center, Bian Keng and another person were left to guard the station, and the rest of the rest of the people followed Liu Yuanshan, starting from the first big mountain in the north, and exploring one by one.

In three days, half of the surrounding round mountains were surveyed, but the extinct volcano with sulfur ore was still not found, Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and said secretly: This sulfur ore is also deliberately against Lao Tzu?

However, he has a spirit of not admitting defeat, aren't you hiding strictly?

That's good, Lao Tzu is going through all the mountains in Shennongjia, and he has to find you out.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, he set out with the tired crowd, aiming for the highest mountain in the west, and judging from the slightly rounded slope of the peak, the probability of such a mountain being a volcano is quite high.

The mountain is very large, there are many wrinkles on it, and there is no fixed mountain road to go up and down, the number of people who went up the mountain in the past can be almost completely ignored, and Liu Yuanshan walked a few people, which is a rare virgin land.

The south side of the mountain receives more sunlight, and grows in a dense jungle, which is basically dominated by shrubs, and the north side is backed by the sun, and there are many tall and towering trees, which are also relatively dry in comparison, so Liu Yuanshan decided to lead everyone to start climbing from the north side.

Sure enough, his decision proved to be correct, not only was the northern slope taller than the south, but the view was better than that of the south, and if there were any large and ferocious animals, they could not hide, and the probability of everyone facing danger dropped by 10%.

Liu Yuanshan struggled forward, and before he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he encountered a stream that seeped out from the gap in the mountain, and the stream flowed slightly to the southeast along the mountain, and looked down from a high place, it was a tributary of the small river next to the tent.

There is no bridge to pass through here, so everyone can only take off their shoes and socks and wade through the water, but fortunately, the stream is not wide, only about three or four meters, and it is basically crystal clear, so there is no unknown danger.

It's just that in the process of wading through the water, Liu Yuanshan found that the water in the creek was not as cold as he imagined, but surprisingly a little warm, although it was not much hotter than the water in the river below, but it was also keenly perceived by Liu Yuanshan.

"Could it be that this is water coming out of the hot springs?"

Liu Yuanshan has been looking for minerals these days, and he gradually understands some of the geological common sense in the divine book, and when he guesses that there may be hot springs on the mountain, he will inevitably be a little excited.

If there are hot springs, there is a possibility of a volcano, because in many places the hot springs are generated by the heat diversion from the crater, of course, this is not absolute.

However, as soon as hot springs appear, the likelihood of sulfur ore appearing increases exponentially.

Combined with the shape of the whole mountain, Liu Yuanshan had a very pleasant feeling in the dark, as if he was only a thin line away from discovering sulfur ore.

"Let's go!" Liu Yuanshan wiped his feet slightly, put on his shoes and cheered up, and said to a few people who were wilting below: "This mountain, there is a play!" "After saying that, he was full of motivation, and his movements were more than twice as fast as before.

Seeing that the boss was so excited, everyone barely cheered up and followed him up the mountain quickly.

The more he went up, the clearer Liu Yuanshan's feeling became.

When he was about to approach the top of the mountain, he found that a certain place was steaming, and the white smoke was like the steam coming from a boiling iron pot that had just been opened, and a damp and hot breath rushed towards him.

"Let's go, it's a success!" Liu Yuanshan shouted happily, and led people to climb to the top of the mountain in three steps and two steps, and found that surrounded by dense trees, the entire mountain was in the shape of a pit, which was a mountaintop pool.

It is precisely the characteristic of the legendary extinct volcano.

Also, the pool is foggy, and it looks like a natural hot spring.

The mountain breeze blew, the mist rolled, and the water surface of the pool, which had been vague and looming, suddenly became clear.

It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Liu Yuanshan almost had a nosebleed!

"Great place...... Hush...... Get down...... Don't talk! ”

Liu Yuanshan quickly shrank his body behind a large rock beside him, and he didn't dare to breathe, but he still couldn't help but stretch out half of his head temptingly, looking at the spring light in the pool, he couldn't help but think: Nima, what kind of place is this? Didn't Lao Tzu go to the Pansi Cave and meet the spider spirit, right? (To be continued.) )
