Chapter 253: Volcano

In the hills, Su Lun led an expedition team forward. Their equipment was very poor, but with Su Lun, the bloodline inheritor, they basically would not encounter any danger.

Su Lun initially wanted to obtain the bloodline in order to ensure that he would have the strength to protect himself and conduct research in the future. In this world dominated by individual strength, if Su Lun stayed in the original earldom, his research would fail if a strong man came at random. Now that he has a strong bloodline as support, no one can threaten him except those powerful lords.

They have been moving forward for a long time, but they have not found anything useful. There are only mountains here. Su Lun has neither found metal ores nor powerful monsters.

"My lord, this place is barren, even monsters will not come here. Should we change places?" Barton asked on the side.

He saw that there were big trees all around. This place only had some wild beasts. It would be a good place as a hunting ground, but it was basically impossible to find a vein here.

"It doesn't matter. We should be able to see our destination when we walk out of this forest." Su Lun said and asked everyone to speed up.

He looked up at the sky in the distance, where there was a cloud of gray-black smoke, which kept rising. It was difficult to find it if you didn't pay attention.

The smoke came from an active volcano. Su Lun had noticed this volcano when he was riding the giant eagle to investigate the surrounding situation.

He didn't have a very good way to detect geology, so he could only distinguish it with the naked eye or guess it by feeling. Volcanoes only appear where continents collide. There is a high possibility that there are mineral veins around volcanoes, so he needs to go over and take a look.

Su Lun quickened his pace. After a long time, they arrived outside the volcano. From a distance, they could see the volcano with a little smoke.

This is an active volcano. Judging from the surface situation, there is a high probability that it will erupt now.

The base he chose is not too far away. Once the volcano erupts, his unbuilt base may be affected. If necessary, he needs to seal the volcano.

Soon after, Su Lun came to the halfway point of the volcano. Now his surroundings have become bare, all rocks, and the surrounding temperature is also very high, which is not suitable for plant growth.

Su Lun picked up a stone from the ground. The black stone was very hard. It was a rock after the magma solidified. Judging from the marks on the stone, this volcano should have erupted not long ago.

He continued to move forward and soon reached the top of the mountain.

There was a sunken pit in the middle of the mountain top, with some small cracks in it, and the smoke came out only from these cracks.

Su Lun could feel the temperature under the ground when he stood on it. Once the volcano erupted, a large number of creatures around it would die.

The few creatures around might be because of this volcano. The volcanic eruption was enough to kill all the creatures around, even the monsters.

"My lord, this volcano is in its active period. Let's leave quickly!" Barton reminded on the side.

He didn't know much about volcanoes, but he also knew that once the volcano erupted, all the people around would be buried by the hot magma.

He knew that Su Lun was a bloodline inheritor, but he didn't know Su Lun's specific abilities. The more careful he was in front of this volcano, the better.

Su Lun shook his head and said, "Even if we leave, this volcano is still here, and the valley we stayed in before will be destroyed by this volcano. Instead of running away, it is better to seal this volcano."

He estimated that the temperature of magma is very high, but the temperature of magma is definitely not as high as the bloodline ability of the flame type. He once encountered a magical beast with a bloodline of flame ability, and the temperature of that flame can even burn ice.

The ice created by his ice dragon bloodline has not met an opponent yet, so freezing this volcano should not be a problem.

Barton didn't understand what he said. Just as he was thinking, a strong cold air came out of Su Lun's body, and the cold air made him take a few steps back.

Su Lun summoned the juvenile ice dragon, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, white snowflakes kept falling, and a blizzard came immediately.

In just a few seconds, the ground was immediately covered with a layer of white snow.

It is not enough to rely on wind and snow alone. If you want to seal the volcano, the best way is to let the magma underground cool down.

Blocking the volcano does not solve the problem. If the exit of the volcano is blocked, the magma will erupt in another place, which will cause greater harm.

Only by cooling the magma can the problem of volcanic eruption be completely solved.

The ice dragon cub fell on Su Lun's shoulder, and large crystals appeared on his body, becoming like a thick armor.

He jumped into the entrance of the volcano and blew up the crater at the same time.

Soon the red liquid rushed out of the volcano. These magmas would continue to spread around without obstruction, but before spreading, the magma would meet Su Lun.

The moment the magma met Su Lun, the magma solidified quickly and could not continue to flow out. Su Lun also successfully drilled into the depths of the magma.

He did not hesitate at all and released the blood power in his body with all his strength.

Deep underground, the hot magma solidified quickly, and it didn't take long for it to become a layer of rock in the stratum.

While releasing the power, Su Lun paid attention to the surrounding situation. When he felt it was almost done, he immediately stopped and quickly went to the ground.

His ability is not enough to solidify all the magma underground, nor can he cool down all the magma. A large part of the world's heat comes from underground.

Su Lun rushed out of the crater, and the ice dragon clone quickly returned to the space crystal.

The blizzard outside gradually stopped, but the snowflakes on the ground had not completely dispersed. These ice and snow indicated that something big had happened here.

Barton stared at Su Lun and was speechless. Su Lun had just shown him what a bloodline inheritor was.

He looked at the frozen land. The power of ice and snow almost turned the volcano into an iceberg. There was no heat here, only cold.

Before he could recover, someone shouted at them not far away.

"Sir, we found some monsters!" A member of the expedition team shouted.

Su Lun followed immediately after hearing the words. In addition to solving the volcano here, he had something important to do.

Under the leadership of the expedition team, he soon came to a small cave.

The surroundings were also covered with frost. It would take a day for all the frost to recover.

Su Lun saw several mouse-like creatures, but these were not ordinary mice. These mice were very large and were a group of monsters.

The size of this group of magic beasts is about the same as that of an adult dog. They are red all over, without any hair on their bodies, only things like metal blocks, and they are still spewing black smoke from their mouths. This is a group of creatures that rely on volcanoes for survival.

"Sir, we have never seen this kind of magic beast before. It looks weird, so we dare not move around at will." The expedition team members whispered.

According to Su Lun's request, they investigated around this volcano to see if there are mineral veins and various magic beasts. Unexpectedly, there are really some here.

It's just that the magic beasts they know are generally magic beasts like ghost poison wolves. This kind of magic beast that spews black smoke has never been seen before.

This is a group of magic beasts. The expedition team members did not disturb them to prevent these magic beasts from escaping.

There are many types of magic beasts. Su Lun looked at these magic beasts carefully. He had seen records of this kind of creature in the elves' information.

To be precise, this is not a group of magic beasts, but a group of races called fairies.

And this is a group of crystal stone fairies, a group of fairies that feed on various metal minerals and precious gems.

Fairies are similar to Warcraft, but they are very different from Warcraft.

No one knows how fairies were born, and any records about fairies are sudden appearances.

Generally, fairies are all kinds of dead things that have come to life. Stones that have come to life are rock fairies, and the same is true for other things. Any kind of thing in the world may become a fairy.

Fairies have a certain amount of wisdom, and there is no unified mentality. There are all kinds of fairies.

The fairy in front of Su Lun is a kind of crystal fairy. In his eyes, these fairies occasionally turn into a pool of liquid, and occasionally turn into human form.

It seems that because the surrounding temperature has dropped, these fairies are trying to leave this place.

Su Lun said to the surrounding expedition members: "This is not a Warcraft, this is a fairy, you all stay here and don't move."

He ordered these people not to move, otherwise these fairies might escape.

Fairies generally live in the fairy plane. There are also some fairies in the main plane, but they are very rare.

The appearance of these fairies here means that there must be food around to provide these fairies, and the food of crystal fairies is various minerals.

Su Lun thought about it, and he walked directly towards these fairies.

Fairies are intelligent, and it is difficult to make them surrender by force, so they can only be forced to surrender by normal means.

A group of fairies saw that Su Lun did not run away, but looked at Su Lun curiously.

"Humans have appeared! Drive him away!"

The fairies suddenly shouted, and their voices were very weak, sounding almost like the voices of children.

The whole body of these fairies turned red in an instant, and the heat on their bodies was even stronger than magma.

"Wait!" Su Lun immediately shouted loudly: "I'm here to help you!"

He saw in the records of the elves how to communicate with fairies. Fairies have very simple thoughts. As long as they can provide benefits, they can easily get the recognition of fairies.

Sure enough, the fairies stopped attacking immediately after hearing Su Lun's words, and they said in a flurry: "What are you talking about? We don't need help."

"Yes, yes, yes. We don't need help."

There are six or seven fairies here, and they are all of the same species.

Seeing the effect, Su Lun continued, "You have to look for food every day. I can provide you with food, saving you the time of looking for food."

These fairies are born with the ability to find food. They don't worry about food at all, but fairies are generally lazy. They eat every day except sleeping. They are also chatterboxes. As long as they find a topic, they will talk non-stop.

Su Lun's words immediately caused turmoil, and a group of fairies began to argue.

"Ready-made food, I like ready-made food."

"I want to sleep in the food."

"No, I want to sleep on the food!"

They quarreled over a very small matter, and they didn't doubt whether Su Lun's words were true.

Su Lun's forehead was full of black lines. The IQ of these fairies was really not flattering. If these fairies were not very useful, he would have left here long ago.

He said, "As long as you help me do something, I can continue to provide you with food."

"What to do?" As soon as Su Lun finished speaking, fairies surrounded him.

"You will know if you follow me." Su Lun didn't say what it was specifically, and even if he said it, the other party would not understand.

He wanted to use these fairies to make steel. These fairies were extremely high heat sources. The heat from burning coal was completely incomparable to the heat emitted by these fairies.

Moreover, as long as there was food, these fairies would always generate heat. Even when they were sleeping, they could become boilers with stable heat sources.

Su Lun surrounded them to show his sincerity. He immediately took out a bunch of exquisite metal materials from the space crystal. These were the materials he had been collecting for a long time, but he had never used them. Now they could be used to bribe these fairies.

The fairies quickly held the metal materials and ate them, with smiles on their faces as if they had eaten delicious food.

Most of Su Lun's metal materials were swords, but these hard swords were immediately turned into molten iron and eaten by these fairies.

These fairies quickly succumbed to the temptation of delicious food. They quickly agreed to Su Lun, and then lay on the ground motionless after eating, and finally turned into a few small stones.

Su Lun picked up the red stone on the ground. This was the body of the fairy. The fairies he had just seen were transformed from these stones.

After putting away the goblin's body, Su Lun walked to his men and said, "Check this place."

The expedition team immediately looked around, and Su Lun walked towards the cave where the elves were.

He found that his guess was right. This cave was the entrance to a mine, and the goblins were feeding on the minerals here.

Su Lun walked up and took a stone. The rusty red stone was very rough, but this was the iron ore he needed most.

He checked it a little bit and found that the ore reserves here should not be low.

After Su Lun wrote down this location, he did not wait any longer and immediately led his men back.

The next step is to send people to mine iron ore.

Now that he has goblins as a heat source, as long as there is enough metal, he can quickly develop industry and then develop technology to the level of the earth, and then he can continue his research.

Su Lun will arrive at the base soon. Now that the farmland and houses have been dealt with, he will assign half of the people to mine.

Su Lun sighed as he looked at the castle in front of him. Only less than one-third of the castle was built because there were too few people. He could go to a few more kingdoms and buy all the slaves to serve as manpower.

Manpower was very scarce for him, so he would accept any number of people.
