The night in the mountains was a little cold, and Surdak climbed out of the tent and took out a blanket and draped it over Val, who was in charge of the vigil.

He went to look at the Gubolai horses again, and when the horses saw him coming, they bowed their heads affectionately and licked his palms, thinking that he had brought food.

The moonlight was like snow, and a limestone iguana heard the movement and quickly burrowed into the crevice.

At night without sand wolves, the mountains of Paglos are exceptionally secluded.

In the morning, Charlie emerged from his tent and saw Surdak standing on top of a limestone rock, practicing his sword swing against the rising sun.

He held the shield in one hand, each time it was a lunge, raised the shield, and then stabbed the Roman sword in his hand, he could clearly see the white horse training brought out by the sword blade, and seeing that Surdak's movements were extremely standard, Charlie couldn't help but stand with Surdak, and also practiced basic swordsmanship, but after holding on for more than a hundred times, he felt that his arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it up, and jumped off the rock.

Then Charlie picked up the alloy bow and practiced archery against the stone wall, the steel arrows could easily pierce into the rocks, and when Charley pulled the feathered arrows out of the rock wall, there were only a few messy arrow holes left in the stone wall.

At the beginning, the lizard hunting group in the village walked for nearly seven days to reach Pubao Mountain, and it took only two and a half days for Surdak's team to ride horses to the foot of Pubao Mountain.

The horses were trampled on the soft volcanic ash, and with every step the horse's hooves sank in, and it was very difficult to walk.

And the volcanic ash in the air falls like snowflakes, there is always a smell of burnt, whether it is a person or a horse, the mouth and nose are covered with a linen scarf, this linen is very breathable, and it also has a good sweat-absorbing effect, to the back of the road, Surdak several people are leading the horse to the last section of the road.

Coming to the place where the salamanders were hunted, all traces of this place were obscured by new volcanic ash, this belonged to the foot of Puss Mountain, some of the magma passages were cut off here, some were piled up on top of each other like wax oil on a candlestick, some of the magma passages could still be dark red, obviously there was hot magma flowing in them, and there was some spicy smoke everywhere.

The place where the salamander was first found was the edge of a river that looked like lava flowing, but the river had long since condensed into cold rock.

There were some messy rocks inside, like bamboo shoots emerging from the soil in early spring, and the ash here had become a little warm, and the horses had already felt a little uncomfortable, and they began to become restless, and kept kicking the hooves, and Surdak had to have the hooves wrapped in felt, and sure enough, the horses were quiet.

Surdak left Val to watch the six horses, and led the rest of the men cautiously into the rocky area, which had no vegetation, as if it were a dead field, and it was hot everywhere.

Everyone was worried that they would encounter salamanders again, so they didn't dare to disperse, so they could only narrow down the scope of their search.

According to the leader of the caravan, salamanders like to eat sulfur and usually haunt places that contain sulfur ore, so Surdak entered this rocky area, and while exploring the whereabouts of salamanders, he searched for the yellow ore, and after a little walk, he heard Luke let out a low cry: "There is really a ...... of sulfur here."

Hearing this, Surdak hurriedly took a few steps forward, stood beside Luke, and looked at the rocky area inside, and sure enough, he saw some light yellow stones around the magmatic rocks, although there were not many of them, and some were still wrapped together by magmatic rocks, but there was actually a large area around the entire rocky beach.

"I'll go, a lot of sulfur ore, I'm afraid we're really going to get rich this time!" Charlie followed Surdak into the rocky area where there were shimmering pale yellow sulfur deposits, and immediately felt a sense of disarray, he ran to a stalagmite with a corner of pale yellow ore exposed, and tried to break off the sulfur ore on it with his hands, but found that these ores were much harder than limestone, and he was so tired that he was out of breath and could not pry the ore off the stalagmite.

Then Charlie leaned on the warm stalagmite, wiped the oil and sweat from his face, and asked Surdak with some unconfidence, "Do you think we can take all these sulfur mines away?" ”

Luke, who was on the side, said unceremoniously to Charlie: "When you are dreaming, can you not talk nonsense, what do you think, if you want to be just a few of us, even if the sulfur here is dug for half a year, it may not be able to hollow out ......"

Indeed, as Luke said, there are countless rocky areas but there are countless sulfur mines exposed on the surface, and the rocky areas here are scattered in a river formed by the flow of lava after a volcanic eruption.

Now the pubao mountain is calm, so this lava river has cooled down, the whole river is covered by volcanic rock, only some gravel is mixed with the volcanic rock cooled down by this river, forming a landform of countless stalagmites in the rocky area, and these large pieces of rubble washed down by the lava river are distributed on a large amount of sulfur ore with high purity, and the salamander is to eat this sulfur, it will entrench at the foot of pubao mountain.

Unfortunately, this salamander was really unlucky, and it met the Vol Village Lizard Hunting Troupe, and was finally hunted by Surdak and five young people from Vol Village.

Surdak looked at the sulphur area, thinking that the sulphur mine should be fully developed, and that it was still a terra nullius, and that if anyone discovered that the cooled lava river contained a wealth of sulphur ore, it was estimated that there would be a scramble for the mountain.

The immediate priority, of course, is to mine these sulphur mines back as much as possible.

Charlie stood beside Luke, looked at several stalagmites in a row, peeled off a layer of volcanic ash covering the stalagmites, saw the yellowish sulfur mine inside, and said, "Of course there are not only a few of us, aren't there still people from the village?" Let's ...... together"

Surdak jumped on a high boulder and looked around, trying to find out the approximate extent of this rocky area, but found that this area was much larger than he had imagined, the whole river of lava, up to the top of Pubao Mountain, down there was no river to walk, but it was a two-square-kilometer rocky area gathered at the foot of the mountain, but this area was covered with volcanic ash, a gray patch, and I don't know how many stalagmites contain sulfur.

"It feels a little hard to knock this yellow stone down!" A young man who followed from behind tried to pry the sulphur mine off with a crowbar, but after knocking for a long time, he couldn't pry the ore off.

Luke walked up to his side and said to his companions, "We should find some that are mostly exposed." ”

The environment in this area of Pubao Mountain is very harsh, even the air seems to be burning with flames, and there is a large amount of volcanic ash floating in the air, and the tent cannot be set up directly on the ground, because it is likely that after one night's sleep, the whole person will become an omelette and be baked by the geoheat. Ordinary people can't survive here, which is probably why this mineral deposit has not been discovered so far.

Surdak asked five young men to pry down some easily mined sulphur ore in the rocky area and put them in prepared bags. He walked around the rocky area for most of the day, not all of which contained sulfur ore, the rocky piles in the outer area were just ordinary limestone, and only the stalagmites near the center of the lava river of Pubao Mountain had sulfur ore, and this narrow strip of land was no more than fifty meters wide, but it was spreading towards the top of the mountain......

The group stayed at the foot of Pubao Mountain for only one night, and then led six horses loaded with sulfur mines and left Pubao Mountain on foot.

When I came, it only took two and a half days to ride a horse, but when I returned to Vol Village, I led the horse back on foot, and the six of us got up early and walked for almost five days before returning to Vol Village.
