Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 216: (Retest) A Song of Ice and Fire
In fact, in the volcanic area, there is really not much difference from in the sea of fire, the bottom of the mountain is slightly better, the temperature is more suitable, it is only sultry, the volcanic ash is rich in nutrients, there is a lot of vegetation, and there are many animals.
The higher you go to the mountains, the higher the temperature, the sparser the vegetation, the scarcity of animals, but the more veins there are, and there are many ores, followed by lava, spewing out from the depths of the earth, buried in volcanic ash, and easy to mine.
From the mountainside upwards, there are basically no living creatures, it is difficult to see plants, and it is difficult to see animals, only one kind of silver arrow grass, which grows from the halfway up the mountainside to the crater, with tenacious vitality and can resist the high temperature.
The leaves are long and narrow, with silvery hairs on the leaves, and when it grows into an adult plant, it grows a tall flower column and produces hundreds of purple-red flowers, which are rich in water and energy, and are the best food for the heat.
As for the animals, only hordes of fire rats, which live on the flowers of the silver arrowweed, have the size of a calf, have special fur on their bodies, and possess extreme heat tolerance, in order to survive in extreme environments.
It is said that inside the crater, there are blood-red big fish, which can swim in the lava with the eruption of magma, rich in energy, vigorous qi and blood, not weaker than the spirit plant, some people swallow the big fish, and directly awaken the ability.
However, the temperature of the crater is too high, even the bronze can be easily melted, and the fire-resistant skin of the Flame Department cannot withstand it, and only after the eruption of the volcano will the team be led to search in the ruins.
In the volcanic area, there are seven active volcanoes, twelve dormant volcanoes, eight extinct volcanoes, and most of the alien tribes live around the extinct volcanoes, among which the Flame Weather Department is located, and the largest crater is settled.
The area near the dormant volcano is the inherent gathering place of the tribes, and the active volcano area is a real forbidden place, and even the inherently advantageous Flame Weather Department cannot survive in the erupting lava.
Around extinct volcanoes and dormant volcanoes, the vegetation is abundant, and there are many spiritual plants, and the volcanic ash is rich in spiritual energy, which is the most fertile soil for cultivation, but there are no conditions for the development of planting industry, and there is no water source in this area!
There are no open rivers, no underground rivers, if you forcibly dig wells, only magma will come out, rain is useless, only acid rain, the tribe's normal drinking water, relying on all kinds of plants.
And a peculiar fruit, a real "fruit", a fist-sized fruit, with a thin hard shell on the outside and sweet water on the inside, which quenches thirst, has no seeds, and reproduces by rhizomes.
The basis of cropping is water and soil, and the soil is really fertile, and without irrigation water, it can only be discouraged, and even animal husbandry, because livestock also need drinking water.
Water source and environment are the most important factors restricting the development of the Yan Weather Department, and they are the factors that cannot be cured.
In the volcanic area, Wood Fire spent two years imparting medical and hygiene knowledge, and did his best to transplant as many fruit plants, a special plant that draws water from the purification of the ground and is the only source of fresh water.
Even the traveler's tree and the traveler's banana can't be replaced, the two can only be collected, there is no way to purify, even the rain is acidic, and they can't be used if they are collected, and they are not corrosion-resistant, and they are easily destroyed by acid rain.
A lot of ore was found, and even the sulfur he wanted the most was successfully excavated, and even iron ore was found, but when he was mining, he suddenly found a problem, and he couldn't transport it back in large quantities.
The volcano is very special, the south is loess, the west is the sea, the east is the desert, and the north is the stone forest.
Sulfur can be fooled, what should iron ore do? It can pass by sea, but the distance is too much, and the tribe's animal repellent grass is not enough, so he has no choice but to give up for the time being, so he collects a small amount.
Wood Fire left the volcano and went to the Stone Forest again, then to the glacier, where he spent half a year in the Stone Weather Department, where he spent half a year in the Ice Weather Department, spreading medical and sanitation, and finally returning to the jungle along the coast.
The frozen glacier, no matter how many times he has come, every time he comes, he still has to be shivering with cold, the iceman has a strong anti-freeze physique, and the warriors and middle-aged people can be completely afraid of the cold.
But this kind of ability is not born so strong, the baby of the iceman, the physique is also relatively weak, and there are not a few babies who are frozen to death every year.
It's just that the vegetation on the ice field is sparse, there is no extra fuel at all, and the flame is a scarce resource here.
The Inflammation Department and the Ice Weather Department have their own limitations, the former is fresh water, the latter is the temperature, their food is actually not lacking, the environment is the real difficulty, medical treatment and sanitation can only be improved, there is no cure.
And the Shihou Department, purely for his own reasons, it is too difficult to give birth, he can help deliver and feed, he can't conceive, he can't do anything, interracial pregnancy is already difficult, and Shiren's pregnancy is even more difficult.
The pregnancy rate of the alien race is half of that of the human race, and the pregnancy rate of the stone man is one-third of that of the alien race, that is, if a human race can give birth to six in a lifetime, it is also very difficult for a stone man to have one in his life.
Of course, their lack of food also has a lot of effects, the food consumption of the stone people is five times that of normal people, and more than 6,000 people need more than 30,000 people's food, and they are often in a state of food shortage.
The food of the Stone Waiting Department, the fuel of the Ice Waiting Department, the fresh water of the Flame Weather Department, if the beast repellent grass is enough, it is not a problem for the fleet of the Wood Waiting Department.
......
In the two hundred and tenth years of the Muhou Department, the total population reached 60,000, the jungle was 43,000, the island was 17,000, and the warriors were 32,000.
There are 10,000 nobles, 8,000 warriors, 35,000 civilians, 18,000 warriors, 15,000 slaves, 6,000 warriors, 23 witch disciples, 34 psychic warriors, and 4 newly awakened psychic warriors.
Seventeen people in the early stage, eleven people in the middle stage, three people in the later stage, three great witches, Mu Ling awakened for the second time and became a great witch, her talent is completely enough, she awakened her ability at the age of five, and her talent is second only to Mu Yu.
The reason why I have never broken through is that I am concerned about the tribe, and I want to rely on myself as much as possible, naturally accumulate awakening, and reduce the loss of the tribe.
Obviously, she failed, the amount of energy needed by the Great Witch was too large to be done on her own, and in the last few years of her life, the wood fire returned, using the belief of the totem tree to help her break through.
Mu Ling is a pure witch, similar to Lin Lin, with no substantial combat effectiveness, the two of them became great witches, and the impact on the combat power of the tribe is relatively small, but it has a strong increase in the tribal heritage.
Lin Tuo broke through to the late stage, originally with his talent, he should have broken through a long time ago, but unfortunately his luck was not good, every time the tribe encountered trouble, he was the one who suffered the most, seriously delaying the process of strength.
The mountain clan's Shanfu broke through to the middle stage, and the desertification ability was strengthened, and he served as the infantry battalion commander, and the Mu clan's Mu Zhang, who broke through to the middle stage, strengthened the virtual ability, in addition to stealth, and even made the body illusory.
The Qing Clan's Qing Song awakens the blessing ability, which can comprehensively improve the combat power of the army, and the Lin Clan's Lin Curse, awakens the curse ability, which can curse and kill the enemy in the air, ignoring the armor defense, and can attack in groups or alone.
Mu Fan of the Mu clan has awakened the divination ability, the divination ability is quite rare, it can predict good fortune and evil, and in the later stage, it can even deduce the past and the future, but the goal is different, and the difficulty is also different.
The population of the Wind King reached 90,000, 40,000 warriors, 22,000 nobles, 35,000 commoners, 33,000 slaves, 48 psychic warriors, and 15 in the middle period.
5,000 Flying Spear Army, 5,000 Flying Stone Army, 4,000 Heavy Crossbow Army, 5,000 Repeater Army, 3,000 Flying Archery Army, and 8,000 Melee Army.
The war with the War King Department intensified, becoming more and more frequent and more intense, but it was the Li King Department that became more and more low-key, even if they took the initiative to provoke, they rarely fought back, making them confused.
There were 16,000 soldiers and 8,000 soldiers in the Earth Waiting Division, 9,000 and 5,000 soldiers in the Yan Waiting Division, 9,000 and 5,000 soldiers in the Ice Waiting Division, 7,000 and 3,000 soldiers in the Stone Waiting Division, and 25,000 and 15,000 soldiers in the Marine Waiting Division.
After 210, the war heated up rapidly, and the Wind King sent an army of 30,000 to invade the mountains and deserts to the east, threatening the Sand Hou Department and the Mountain Hou Department.
At the same time, Huo Lie and Lin Tuo, led a team of 20,000 warships, took a warship south, invaded the Daze River, and the blade was directed at the beast repellent grass of the Zehou Department and the Muhou Department, there was not much left, and their goal was quite clear.
Mu Ling stayed in the jungle to guard against the Mountain Weather Department and the Weather Department, Mu Ling was stationed on the southern giant wall to receive and treat the wounded of Daze, and Mu Huo led a team of 1,000 people to the Sea Weather Department on the coast to teach and study.
Huo Lie and Lin Tuo, one bright and one dark, two late-stage pressure formations, ten witch disciples, fifteen ability warriors, five mid-stage warriors, and a team of 20,000 troops, before leaving, Mu Fan carried out divination, and the result was "victory".
With her initial ability, the results of divination are just such a rough, specific and detailed level, she doesn't have that ability, in fact, it is difficult not to win, the gap between the two sides is too huge.
Since 170, the Hou Department has obtained bronze tools, and it has been more than 40 years, and in the past 40 years, relying on the bronze equipment, the combat power of each Hou Department has been improved, the hunting results have increased greatly, the food is sufficient, and the strength has developed rapidly.
In terms of population alone, there are 12,000 soldiers in the Zehou Division, more than 7,000 soldiers, and inferior bronze equipment has been popularized, most of the soldiers have crude weapons, a small number of soldiers have fine weapons, and there are also crude armor leather.
The standard equipment of the Ability Warrior is a fine bronze armor, and high-quality bronze weapons, spear throwers and slings, and a large number of imitations appear, both of which are simple and not difficult to imitate, and there is no way to stop them.
There are more than 5,000 slaves, and even from the Ministry of War Kings, they have traded inferior bronze chains and domesticated more than 1,000 slave warriors.
It's just that their strength is limited, food is relatively scarce, and the population annexed is not large, and few people pay attention to it, unlike the royal department's big momentum, which can easily annex tens of thousands of people, and it is difficult not to be discovered.
It's a pity that the population is easy to annex, but the strength development is difficult, even if the spirit plant is snatched out of the mouth of the fierce beast, it takes time for the fruit to ripen, and the warriors, especially the ability warriors, grow slowly.
To this day, there are only fifteen strange warriors in the Zehou Department, one late Zehou, four mid-stage warriors, and less than ten witch disciples, most of them are small witches in the Qi and Blood Realm, and there are quite few wizards.
Whether it is the quality and quantity of ordinary soldiers, the quality and quantity of abnormal warriors, and the quality and quantity of weapons and equipment, the Zehou Department is far inferior to the Mu Hou Department, even if it is added to the Desolation Department, it is also incomparable.
Unless there is a late-stage beast king, who fell from the sky and swallowed Huo Lie and Lin Tuo, otherwise, in the current situation, the War King Department is restrained by the Wind King Department, and no one can save them, in this regard, Mu Huo is very relieved......
