Lord Helanza

The night in the mountains was a bit cold. Surdak climbed out of the tent and took out a blanket to put on Var, who was in charge of the night watch.

He went to look at it again. Several Gubolai horses, the warhorse saw him coming, so they lowered the horse's head affectionately to lick the palm of his hand, thinking that he was coming over to eat.

In the moonlight as snow, a limestone iguana heard movement and quickly got into a crack in the rock.

On a night without sand wolves, the Paglos Mountains are exceptionally quiet.

In the morning, Charlie got out of the tent and saw Surdak standing on a piece of limestone, facing the rising morning sun, practicing his sword swing.

He holds the shield in one hand, every time he lunges, he lifts the shield, and then stabs the shuriken roman sword. He can clearly see the white unrolled bolt of white silk brought out by the sword edge. Look By the time Surdak's movements were extremely standard, Charlie couldn't help standing with Surdak and practicing the basic sword technique, but after insisting for more than a hundred times, he felt that his arm was too sour to lift up, and he jumped off the rock.

Then Charlie picked up the alloy bow again, and practiced archery against the stone wall. Steel essence arrows can easily penetrate into these rocks, waiting for Charlie to pull these feather arrows out of the rock wall. , Only some messy arrow holes are left on the stone wall.

At the beginning, the lizard hunting group in the village walked for nearly seven days before reaching the pustule mountain. Surdak squad only took two and a half days to ride to the foot of the pustule mountain.

The horse stepped on the soft volcanic ash, and the horse's hoof would sink deeply every time it took a step, and it was very difficult to walk.

Moreover, the volcanic ash in the air is falling like snowflakes. There is always a burnt smell. Whether it is a person or a horse, a linen scarf is covered around the mouth and nose. This linen The cloth is very breathable, and it also has a good sweat absorption effect. To the next section of the road, the last section of the road, Surdak, are all led by horses.

When I came to the place where the salamander was hunted, all traces here were covered by new volcanic ash. This is at the foot of the pustule mountain. Some lava passages end here, and some are like wax on a candlestick. Stacked on top of each other like oil, some lava channels can still appear dark red, obviously there is still hot lava flowing inside, and there is a bit of spicy smoke everywhere.

The place where the salamanders were first found was the edge of a river channel flowing like a lava, but this river channel has long since condensed into cold rock.

There are some messy rocks inside, like sharp bamboo shoots emerging from the soil in early spring. The volcanic ash here has become a bit warm, and the horses have already felt a little discomfort, and they have begun to become Agitated, and constantly kicking the horses' hooves, Surdak had to let people wrap these horses' hooves in felt. Sure enough, after this treatment, the horses became quiet.

Surdak left Var to look at the six horses, and led the others cautiously into the rocky area. There was no vegetation here, as if it were a dead place, and it was hot everywhere.

Everyone is worried that they will meet the salamanders, and they dare not disperse, so they can only narrow the scope of the search.

According to the leader of the caravan, salamanders like sulfur, and they usually appear in places containing sulfur mines. So Surdak entered this rocky area and looked for the whereabouts of salamanders. Yellow ore, walked in a little bit, and heard Luke let out a low cry: "There is really sulfur here...".

Surdak hurriedly walked a few steps forward after hearing the words, stood beside Luke, and looked at the rocky area inside. Sure enough, he saw some light yellow stones accompanying the lava rock, although there were not many. Some are still wrapped in lava rocks, but there is actually a large area around the entire rocky beach.

"Fuck, a lot of sulfur ores, this time we are really going to be rich!" Charlie followed Surdak into this chaotic area with light yellow sulfur deposits, and immediately there was a seed. Feeling dazzled and messy, he ran to a stalagmite with a tip of yellowish ore, trying to break off the sulfur ore on it with his hands, but found that the hardness of the ore was much harder than limestone, and he was too tired to gasping for breath. Can pry that piece of ore off the stalagmite.

Then Charlie leaned on the warm stalagmite, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked Surdak somewhat unconfidently: "You said we can bring all these sulfur mines. Let’s go?"

Luke on the side said unceremoniously to Charlie: "When you are dreaming, can you stop talking nonsense, what do you think, just be a few of us alone, even the sulfur here? Digging for half a year, it may not be able to hollow out..."

Actually, as Luke said, this rocky area, but the sulfur mines exposed on the surface are like countless, the rocky area here Distributed in a river formed by lava flowing after a volcanic eruption.

Now the pustule mountain is calm, so this lava river has cooled down, the whole river is covered by Fire Mountain Cliff, only some rubble is mixed in the Fire Mountain Cliff where the river has cooled down Among them, the landform of countless stalagmites in the rocky area is formed, and these large pieces of rubble washed down by the lava river are distributed with a large number of high-purity sulfur mines. The salamander is to eat the sulfur. Will be entrenched at the foot of the pustule mountain.

Unfortunately, the luck of this salamander was really bad. He met the lizard hunting group in Wall Village, and finally was hunted and killed by Surdak with five youngsters from Wall Village.

Surdak looked at this area of ​​sulphur, and wondered in his heart that he would fully develop this sulphur ore. Now it is still a land of no owner. Once someone finds a river of lava after cooling down here There are rich sulfur mines in it. It is estimated that when the time comes, there will be people competing for this mountainous land.

The top priority now is, of course, to recover these sulfur mines as much as possible.

Charlie stood beside Luke, looked at a few stalagmites in succession, peeled off a layer of volcanic ash covering the stalagmites, and saw the pale yellow sulfur mine inside, and said, “Of course it’s not just us. Well, aren’t there still people in the village? Everyone..."

Surdak jumped on a tall boulder and looked all around. He wanted to find out the approximate area of ​​this rocky area, but found this The area is much larger than I thought. The entire river of lava stretches up to the top of Pustule Mountain. There is no river to go down, but it is a two-square-kilometer rubbish gathering at the foot of the mountain. It’s just that this area is covered by volcanic ash, and it’s a gray area. I don’t know how many stalagmites contain sulfur.

"It feels a bit difficult to knock down this yellow stone!" A youngster who followed up from behind tried to pry down the sulfur mine with a crowbar, but it took a long time to knock it down. Fa, never been able to pry down that piece of ore.

Luke walked to his side and said to his companion: "We should find some that are mostly exposed."

The environment in Pustule Mountain is very harsh, even the air There seems to be a flame burning inside, and there is a lot of volcanic ash floating in the air. The tent cannot be directly built on the ground, because it is very likely that if you sleep for one night, the whole person will become an omelet and be cooked by the geothermal heat. The ordinary person cannot survive here, which is probably the reason why this mine has not been discovered so far.

Surdak asked five youngsters to find some easy-to-mine sulfur ore in this chaotic area, and put them into the prepared bag. And he has been around the chaotic rock area for most of the day. Not all of this chaotic rock area contains sulfur ore. The stones piles in the outer circle area are just some ordinary limestone, only the stalagmites near the center of the lava river of Pustule Mountain. There is a sulfur mine. This narrow strip is no more than 50 meters wide, but it continues to spread towards the top of the mountain...

The entire group only stayed at the foot of the mountain for one night, and then carried a full load. The six horses from the sulfur mine walked away from Pustule Mountain.

When I came here, it took only two and a half days to ride a horse. When I returned to Wall Village, I took a horse and walked back. The six people walked back to Wall Village for almost five days.
