There are many factors that hinder breathing in the area where volcanic ash is pervasive: a large amount of sulfur dioxide gas ejected during volcanic eruption spreads out with the wind, and its specific gravity is greater than that of air, and does not spread to the air, but settles to the surface, irritating the respiratory tract and eye mucous membranes of organisms; In addition, the hot metal minerals contained in lava quickly consume the oxygen components in the air, and at the same time produce a part of carbon monoxide, making the air not only hypoxic but also full of asphyxiating gases that are easy to bind to hemoglobin.

Oh, and don't forget, after the eruption, the temperature here is very high, with the surface temperature approaching 32 degrees Celsius – especially in humid areas, which can be sticky and uncomfortable.

In fact, it stands to reason that Hadu can completely plunder the guards and horses, removing their state of "needing air", but the problem is. The concept of "air" has not yet appeared in this era. Hadu also knew that the process of breathing was to inhale something and then exhale something else, but it was not known what these "things" were.

In this way, Hado and the others had to move slowly towards the volcano along the inky base of the mountain, while also being careful not to get too close to the area where the ash was located, and sometimes even to move up the snowy mountain to avoid this dead area.

I think the audience also wondered: the ash area is difficult to cross, the fatality rate near the erupting active volcano is extremely high, and the various natural disasters in this area are particularly violent, what is it that attracts Hado to go to the place of the eruption so firmly? ？

Let's take the perspective back to Monaco, when the volcano of Camp Flagley had just erupted, and the seismic wave reached the coast of Liguria, knocking Hadu and his party to the ground. For the guards, they were shocked by the tremendous energy and impact of nature's wrath, but Hado was thrilled by the powerful wealth he had sought for a long time—

- The earth-shattering force of nature.

And he was so excited and determined to march in the direction of the volcano by relying on the pursuit of this force, and as for the guards around him, they followed more with a kind of foolishness, and as for what happened to them, no one was mentally prepared for anything.

In this way, Hado's definition of "wealth" has quietly changed: in the past, the greatest wealth in his life was when his people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he also tried his best to find various cutting-edge technologies to strengthen the development of the tribe, and when this goal was basically achieved, he gradually felt a little tired of this state of staying in the tribe to mediate the affairs of the tribe, and turned to become interested in acquiring more powerful power. For human beings in this era (and even in modern times, the situation has not changed much), the forces of nature are far above human beings, such as tsunamis, such as earthquakes, such as howling winds, such as heavy rain, are not forces that can be directly used by human beings (that is, nuclear explosions and artificial rain are not "directly used"), and only these forces are the most powerful and the most irresistible.

In summary, the energy and power of the volcano eruption made it the first target of Hado's new definition of wealth (to be exact, the second, he has not been able to fully tap the magnetron ability, so he did not take it seriously).

How to survive the test of volcanic ash, tsunami, storm and snow, and it took 50 ups and downs to finally get on the leeward side of the Apennines, I will not go into detail here, it is nothing more than the flexible use of magnetism, looting damage, and using flexible and powerful skills to block debris. Although this is the most intractable and shocking natural disaster Hado has ever encountered in his life, in the long history of his life, it is only a small storyboard that only comes up with memories when he is close to this volcano again.

The aftershocks continued, and the middle section of the Apennines that had just been translated was also very unstable, and the rock formations were all soft and collapsed on the original mountain structure, and they immediately broke into flying ash when they stepped on it, and there was no way to fall on people. Instead, Hadu had no choice but to offer the shoreline as a panacea again, but they had no way to continue in the direction of Mount Vesuvius, which had two more eruptions at its end, causing the ambient temperature to reach 57 cats Celsius, which was almost enough to boil water. Therefore, Hado had no choice but to keep going, intending to walk around the coastline to the location of the volcano, thinking that the volcano would cool down a little by then.

The road through the wilderness was rocky, and on several occasions the horses were stuck with spikes in their hooves, and after the wounds were plundered, the horses were still reluctant to continue, so that the team had to stop and rest. It took more than 100 climbs and falls to re-detour to the side of the mountain where the volcano is located. On the other side of the beach, Hadu could see an island of size, and the land junction that had been used to walk on the island was now a strait, and he could see the sharp sections of the rocks that had been swept away by the raging tsunami.

Turning in the direction of the volcano, one can see the tragic scene left behind by the forces of nature: the earth covered with thick layers of lava is still rising with highly toxic high concentrations of sulfur dioxide, all you can see is the red and black flames, the forest vegetation that has been carbonized by the high temperature has been burned away, and the air is filled with ash that has been burned and shaken by the wind.

The ground temperature is still 38 degrees Celsius, and even with fur and armor in the way, you can feel the heat of the lava (in fact, these two things just happen to transfer heat and keep warm, so it's strange if it's not hot), and it's really difficult to get close to the volcano. It took a lot of effort for Hadu to dig a 20-pace-wide passage with an iron axe, allowing the guards to line up and follow Hadu like long snakes. Along the way, they had to avoid the lava that was still flowing slowly: although it was 10,000,000 times more viscous than water, it could still flow hundreds of thousands of paces. As the lava flows, the outer layer cools into a softshell that appears to be hard, while the inside remains hot. If you don't know the situation, you can step on it, let alone break your leg and escape from the fire, and you won't be able to jump out after being caught, and you will only be swallowed by lava in the end—the bones of animals in the distance that can't escape prove all this.

I saw flying blades, iron axes, and iron spears flying back and forth around Hadu, clearing the scorching lava, but there was another problem that the team encountered that he couldn't solve - lack of water. The heat had caused the guards to lose a lot of fluids, and the freshwater units they were carrying were already running low, and Hadu needed to address the situation immediately: either find a suitable water source that would not have to worry about even if it contained toxic substances such as sulphur dioxide, or "save" only a certain amount of fresh water – i.e., discard some of the guards.

It is not possible to cross the lava laterally, as the lava will gradually flow and block their path, and they will have nowhere to escape if they have to evacuate. Hadu wisely chose to go up against the lava, and one of the factors in this choice was that after a large geological change, there is a high probability that a dammed lake will form in the original mountain area. Regardless of the quality of these dammed lakes, Hadu can rob the toxic and harmful "state" of these water bodies anyway, and can also make the guards drink the contaminated water without any problems, so finding such a water source is the most important thing.

Since the southern part of the Apennines is a mountain range that runs high in the east and low in the west, most of the lava poured into the sea after the eruption, so there must be a temporary lake formed by silted water in the eastern mountain. As he walked 5,000 steps to the foot of Mount Vesuvius, Hado was keenly aware of a different change in humidity in the distance: the air around him was distorted by the heat, and only there was a light and breezy appearance.

Sure enough, upon approaching the humidity anomaly, they discovered that it was a large lake, about 15,0000 square steps, with an inlet into a nearby diversion river, but no obvious outlet. After all, the water here is very hot due to its proximity to the volcano, but Hado only needs to simply plunder this "hot" state to be able to drink the guards.

But something happened to him: the plunder failed.

What's going on, usually this kind of thing is done very smoothly, but he was unwilling to try again, but he still failed to plunder. This made Hadu a little angry, and his eyes were even more anxious when he saw that the guards and the horse were so dehydrated that he was about to faint.

What's going on, how can the plunder fail. ？

At this time, Hadu suddenly remembered one thing: the space of consciousness. It had been many years since he had entered the consciousness space to check and plunder the situation, and if he wanted to solve the problem in front of him, it seemed that only the consciousness space could help him.

In a flash, Hadu was in the dark and boundless space of consciousness, and when he saw this boundless dark space, he suddenly felt a sense of reunion with his old friend. But when he started to look at the results of the plunder, he felt a little lost - he had no way to see the accumulated good and evil values that had occurred after the loot, nor had he been able to know how the loot would change in the future, in other words: these parameters could only be displayed at the time of settlement.

Leaving these things aside, Hadu has not forgotten his mission to re-enter the space of consciousness: to find out the cause of the failure of the plunder. He tried to fill his mind with all kinds of thoughts, until the word "wealth" came to mind, and the words in front of him appeared:

"Sulphurized Poisoned Water does not meet your current definition of 'wealth', so the Plunder cannot be successfully launched. ”

The definition of wealth. Hadu seemed to have some understanding in his heart, but he felt that there was still something he hadn't grasped. If we read it in the first line, that is, Hado's definition of wealth is no longer the health, peace, and strong adaptability of the clan, which makes the "plunder for the sake of the clan" unable to be successfully carried out. If that's the case, then you can only start from another angle.

The human body functions and perceives itself.

This is the "forbidden area" that Hadu has not touched for so many years. He observed that the descendants of the infantry who had been plundered by him had no sense of killing, and that the descendants of the "Shin'ne-Nu" had been robbed of the state of "drinking dirty water and causing disease". These plundered states can be passed on through fertility, so that Hado will not be surprised by this - he just thinks it is strange, according to the discussion of "plundering will accumulate good and evil points", these new people born through reproduction should also bring him good and evil points, but after so many years, the clan has changed so many times, and there is no waiting for a new settlement, which makes Hadu very confused. He had always had a vague sense of whether he had touched some kind of "forbidden zone" that led to such a result. And as Shin'ne-Nu survived in the humid desert region, Hado's contribution to the tribe began to become less prominent, and it was he who chose to go out in search of new technology.

But this evasive choice did not bring Hadu even the slightest relief, but on the contrary, this confusion has intensified in the past nearly a year of being out. The failure of this plundering of the "sulfur-containing water body" can be regarded as completely breaking the bottom line of Hadu's forbearance "forbidden area", and he plans to start his own experiment after exiting the consciousness space.

Plunders the various negative states, symptoms, and properties of the guards around you.

No matter how you think about it, Hado doesn't want to hurt his guards, but he can't give his physique such as the shielding ability of the fang, the explosiveness of the brown leopard, and the super eyesight of the stone-billed eagle to the guards, so he can only achieve the same result in another way: plundering weaknesses. As for why Hadu had not raided the guards before, it was because he had the utmost caution about it: he could not and could not know how the guards would change if they were significantly increased in the first direction—even though he could easily plunder the loyalties of others, he would not be able to clearly know their inner thoughts, nor how they might affect him.

And if the situation is out of control, Hadu will not be able to kill the killer - he is not so apathetic as he is.

But the current situation does not allow him to be a woman, and the key is to solve the various negative states of the guards (including the horse) in the volcanic environment. In order to be able to solve the problems encountered by the guards at one time, Hado thought for a long time in the space of consciousness.

Thirst, or lack of water, directly refers to "replenishing the body's water needs through the external environment". Well, no, this can't be plundered, and the most likely thing that will appear after plundering is not "no need to drink water to replenish water", but "no way to replenish water in any way". Of course, Hadu would not know how the human body consumes and uses water, so he cautiously avoided this entry point.

Thermal insulation, on the other hand, is "the property of predatoring the body state affected by the high temperature environment", which can be tried, but it may lead to "the predator cannot feel the outside temperature change". It's not a bad thing to be not afraid of fire.,But when you encounter a change in the temperature of the outside world and "don't know your suffering", it's inevitable that something like misleading other people will happen.。。 Well, that's something to think about again.

The "universal stomach", simply put, is the "universal digestion and absorption system", which preys on the nature of the body's "inability to digest, absorb and utilize toxic and harmful substances", so that they can use anything outside for their own use after ingesting anything. But.. This kind of "only entering but not leaving" is indeed against the normal physiology of natural creatures, and he is not sure what kind of strange creatures the guards will become. Well, let's ignore this for now.

Hado has been in the space of consciousness for a long time (personal feelings, the actual space of consciousness is in a state of mutual stillness relative to the outside world, that is, there is no passage of time), and he has not come up with a practical way to improve the guards. And there is one important issue that he has not yet been able to deal with - the definition of wealth.

If he has enlightenment, it means that he has touched the door of the "definition of wealth" a little. He had only vaguely defined "wealth as wealth" as "the health, peace, and happiness of the people," but he had never thought about "the usefulness of plundering such wealth." For the people of this era, it is already prohibitive to survive in a miserable environment, and what can be done after surviving, whether it is the grassland tribe or the Lianghe clan, there is no discussion and thought in this regard, let alone Hadu, who has basically not received a complete hunter education and guidance.

By this time, however, his definition of "wealth" had quietly shifted to "plundering the powerful forces of nature", and the next step was to define "what should be done with such powerful natural forces". The first thing that came to Hado's mind was to define it as "laying a more solid foundation for the survival of his people through the powerful forces of nature" - the idea of this idea made him feel bright in front of him in an instant.

In this way, he determined the methods and steps for plundering "sulphurous water bodies" -

- Definition: The purpose of plundering the sulphurous water body and removing substances that are harmful to the health of its people is to meet the current water replenishment needs of the guards.

That's what Hadu thought, and that's what he did after he withdrew from the space of consciousness. The dammed lake, which had just been muddy with a pungent smell, turned into a clear blue lake in an instant, and you can feel the sweet and clear taste of the water when you hold a handful of water in your hand.

As the guards and the horses gulped their water happily, Hadu turned his head and looked in the direction of Vesuvius.
