Chapter 41: Treasure?
Tuglu's only regret is that the water from these hot springs cannot be drunk directly, but in winter, the wind and snow tundra are full of snow several feet deep, and you can solve the drinking problem by taking some back and using the hot springs to melt it, except for a little trouble, it is not a big problem.
In the end, Tugru told Invincible that more than 50,000 people were crammed into more than 20 hot spring areas, which surprised Invincible. These 50,000 people were desperately stuffed into the Tuglu, and apart from reserving the necessary passages, those hot springs could not even fall on their feet now.
Every winter, a large number of Okin people enter the hot springs to escape the cold and come out again in the spring. During this period, they avoided a large loss of heat due to the moderate temperature around the hot springs, and the crowded crowd made it impossible for everyone to move, so there was almost no exercise, and the demand for food was naturally less.
This is one of the reasons why Dawning City has become a gathering place for tens of thousands of Okins.
As for the other thing that Invincible asked, active volcanoes, there are only two places in this vicinity, one is more than 50 kilometers to the northwest, and the other is more than 20 kilometers to the southeast.
However, Invincible knew that there was actually another place here, because the altar in the ancestral temple was definitely an active volcano, and it was an extremely rare active volcano with exposed lava. In the invincible mind, there is no doubt that this lava is extremely important, that is, a natural and inexhaustible alchemy furnace. With it, many of the things that Invincible can do in the future will be easy, but now is not the time to study the usefulness of the lava pool under the altar of the Ancestral Temple.
The last thing Invincible cares about is, of course, whether these volcanoes have erupted.
But Tuglu said that there is no precedent for volcanic eruptions in Dawning City or even in Oslo, at least the ancestral temple of the Ojin clan has been built here for nearly 10,000 years and is still fine, which is a good proof. For this kind of situation that obviously violates the common sense in the original world, Invincible is puzzled but not very concerned, after all, this world is running under another kind of rules, for example, the magic here only exists in fantasy in the original world.
With these things learned from Tuglu, Invincible made a simple map, and then set off with Tumeng.
Their first destination was the active volcano Chilong Mountain, located in the northeast, a little further away from Dawn City.
The so-called Chilong Mountain is called Chilong Mountain by the Aojin people because this active volcano will expose the color of its body in the hottest ten days of summer, red as fire, like a winding dragon.
However, within a radius of several miles near Chilong Mountain, there are all kinds of harmful gases emitted by active volcanoes, and there is almost no grass on the ground, and people will vomit and even coma if they stay there for a long time, so Chilong Mountain is one of the places that the Aojin people are least interested in.
Invincible will be interested in it for the simple reason that it is.
The vicinity of the volcano is usually accompanied by a large number of subways, copper, sulfur and gemstone deposits, and the Ojin volcano, which lacks everything, is a gold mountain placed there, just waiting to be dug by Invincible.
Chilong Mountain is more than fifty kilometers away from Dawn City, and more than ten kilometers south from it is a hot spring gathering place of the Aojin tribe, where more than 5,000 Aojin people gather, but the goal of the invincible trip is not them.
A faint smell of sulfur came from the tip of their nose to let Invincible know that they were entering the vicinity of Chilong Mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was a white expanse of snow all around, and there was no living thing in sight.
Tu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was quite tired after rushing down more than fifty kilometers in one go, after all, he was not invincible, and it was very good to run purely by physical strength without light support.
"This is it, there is Chilong Mountain." Tu Meng said, raised his finger and pointed to a towering and winding snow-capped mountain not far away.
Invincible looked up at the snow-capped mountain, looked back and forth, and then stretched out his hand: "I'll go there!" You're waiting here! ”
Tu Meng looked at him a little strangely and asked, "Don't you want me to go with you?" ”
Invincible nodded: "Did you see those yellow-white mist?" The fog was poisonous, and the closer you got there, the thicker the fog became, and the more poisonous it became. I could hold my breath for about an hour and there was nothing wrong with getting there. ”
Tu Meng looked at the place of the invincible finger, and sure enough, he saw some yellow-white mist slowly rising from a place in Chilong Mountain, and finally gradually drifting away in the air.
Looking at those yellow and white mist, he smiled and said, "Invincible Lord, I once went to Chilong Mountain when I was young, and although I was a little uncomfortable, it was not too obvious. As long as the stay does not exceed one day, the vicinity of Chilong Mountain is relatively safe, and there will be no symptoms of poison. ”
Invincible knew that Tu Meng had never liked to lie, and then thought that if something went wrong, he could quickly bring Tu Meng out, so he no longer stopped Tu Meng from going up the mountain together.
Although Chilong Mountain is high, there is a low concave gap in its mountain, which is only more than 300 meters higher than the flat land. The invincible two walked up a valley for a moment, and then climbed the ridge, and the gap was close at hand.
Standing at the breach, a huge crater is unfolded in front of the invincible eyes.
To Invincible's great surprise, this was also a lava pool. At the bottom of the crater, the fiery red magma was slowly gushing in a lava pool of about 200 square meters, and bubbles bubbled from time to time, like a mouthful of boiling water.
Invincible said to Tu Meng: "It seems that we are lucky!" Go down and have a look! He jumped towards the lava pool, and after just a few ups and downs, he quickly approached the bottom of the crater.
Tu Meng was not surprised, because he had seen a lot along the way with the invincible ability to leap vertically and horizontally. However, he is not as perverted as invincible, he dares to jump down on a slope of forty degrees, and it is more than ten or twenty meters, and Tu Meng can only go down honestly.
Invincible relied on light skills, and soon arrived at the pool, and observed carefully. The lava pool was not large, and its shape was irregular, as the ground he was standing on at the moment was an edge that protruded more than ten meters towards the outside of the pool. And the ground here is very hot, if you put it on the feet of ordinary people, you may immediately scorch a layer, invincible and have divine power to protect the body, naturally not afraid, and a thought flashed in my heart: This environment is very good for cultivating the Chiyan Gong to the hottest!
