The old village chief knelt on one knee on the rocky ground full of gravel, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of limestone. The stone in his hand shattered into pieces with a gentle squeeze, and the powder flowed down the cracks between his fingers and onto the rocky ground.
The village chief Bright, whose face was full of wrinkles, said to Suldak: "It hasn't rained here for probably several months. Even the sea buckthorn grass cannot survive. These sea buckthorn grass are the main source of gray rock iguanas."
Food, without sea buckthorn grass, they can only migrate elsewhere."
Surdak did not expect that, just separated by two mountains, the environment in the depths of Paglos Mountain would be so different from that of Wall Village. This area has almost reached the point where there is no grass growing, and the gray rock iguana is a lifelong
They don't even need to drink water. As long as they can find some sea buckthorn grass in the cracks of the rocks, the iguanas can survive.
They are probably the most thirsty creatures, and their body functions have evolved to treat water as poison. Filling them with a glass of water can even kill them.
But these sea buckthorn grasses still need a little moisture. Without moisture, even these sea buckthorn grasses will have a hard time surviving.
Leaving the collapsing stone forest, we walked all the way towards Pudu Mountain. No trace of the gray rock iguana was found in three consecutive fields along the way. The old village chief analyzed that the main reason was that the Paglos Mountains were too dry, causing the sea buckthorn grass to be unable to grow.
growth, forcing the gray rock iguanas to migrate to other places.
However, the villagers who explored the path seemed very calm and kept leading the Wall Village Lizard Group towards the Pitbag Mountain.
After walking into Pudu Mountain, Surdak saw that the gray clouds floating on the top of the mountain were not clouds at all, but smoke erupted from the top of Pudu Mountain. However, the smoke did not spread, but only shrouded Pudu Mountain.
On the crater.
The road under our feet had become very soft, and a thin layer of volcanic ash covered the ground.
Surdak picked up the water bag and drank all the water in it to make his chapped lips moister. He shook the water bag and saw that there was not a drop of water in it. Then Surdak took the water bag away.
Hang it on your waist again.
When the old village chief saw this scene, he shook his head slightly, took off a water bag filled with water from his belt, handed it to Suldak and said: "Save some water and enter Paglos Mountain."
, water is more precious than food.”
Surdak did not take the water bag from the old village chief, but just said: "Don't worry, I have already prepared this."
As he said that, he took out a magic scroll of water gathering magic from his arms and waved it in front of the old village chief. The old village chief was slightly startled, and then he recognized that it was a magic scroll. Only then did he know that Surda
Where does Ke's confidence lie?
The villagers of Wall Village continued to walk towards Pudu Mountain for half a day, and the volcanic ash on the ground was already almost an inch thick.
If you step on it, your feet will sink deeply, just like stepping on fine sand.
Unexpectedly, some sea buckthorn grass grew on the ground covered with volcanic ash, so the villagers caught some more limestone iguanas in the cracks filled with volcanic ash. These limestone iguanas were in the shallow water.
Some footprints were left on the volcanic ash, exposing their whereabouts, so villagers would be sure to find the limestone iguanas as long as they followed the tracks.
The villagers caught limestone iguanas along the way, and unknowingly arrived at the foot of Pudu Mountain.
From the foot of the mountain, you can see some lava rivers flowing on the mountainside of Pudu Mountain.
These lava rivers are not as imagined, with dark red magma floating on the river, but strips of rock, with plumes of green smoke rising from these hot rocks. In fact, the real magma is wrapped in these strips of rock.
, is flowing slowly downward.
Above the mountainside, there was thick smoke billowing everywhere.
Even standing at the foot of the mountain, you can smell a very strong pungent smell.
The volcanic ash here can already cover the knees of ordinary people, and it is difficult to walk further inside. The old village chief led the villagers to capture two iron cages of gray rock iguanas in this area, which has successfully completed the goal of this capture.
There was a touch of joy on the faces of the villagers.
This time we were able to successfully capture the gray rock iguana, mainly because Surdak's water gathering scroll played a huge role. After the water bags carried by the villagers drank one after another during the journey, Surdak would
Nail the magic scroll on the stone wall and let it run to collect water droplets. The water element in the air here is quite thin. It is far inferior to that in Wall Village, where it can form a rain waterfall on the water tank, but the pattering
Light rain is enough for these villagers to use normally.
The old village chief plans to return along the original road early tomorrow morning.
At night, Suldak sat on a rock and looked at the top of Pussy Mountain as if it were burning with billowing fire, and the countless sparks that shot out formed a large amount of smoke.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of dry volcanic ash, an idea gradually forming in his eyes.
The old village chief drank the water in his water bag with great enjoyment. Since Suldak had the magic scroll of water gathering, there was no need to deliberately save the water. He held a pipe in his hand and smoked hard.
After two puffs, the tobacco in the pipe became red, like the fire on the top of the pustule. He looked at Suldak's side face and saw a light of joy in his eyes. He coughed twice and asked Surdak.
Said: "Did you find anything?"
Surdak grabbed a handful of volcanic ash, smiled at the old village chief and said, "These are volcanic ash."
"Yes, everyone knows these are volcanic ash." The old village chief muttered.
"I have been having the idea recently that I want to build a large reservoir upstream of the village to store the spring water, which will not only prevent the village from becoming without water during the dry season." Surdak stretched out a hand.
With a finger, he lightly touched the volcanic ash ground to tidy up a piece of flat land. Then he used his finger to outline the topography of Wall Village, and then drew a line upstream of the ravine, cutting off the entire upper reaches of the ravine.
The old village chief looked at Surdak with dumbfounded eyes. Listening to his preliminary idea of Wall Village, he did not expect that the reservoir in Surdak's mouth was more like a dam blocking the upper reaches. The old village chief changed a little.
He stuttered and said to Suldak: "Are you going to build a wall on the upper half of the ravine to cut off the river?"
"Not only is the river cut off, the mountains here cannot hold water. If you want to build a reservoir, you must re-lay the bottom of the pond to ensure that rainwater does not seep into the ground. Moreover, the reservoir must only be used in summer when rainfall is abundant.
To store water, not only should we not store water in normal times, but we should also increase the amount of water released appropriately."
Suldak explained what he was thinking to the old village chief, and then said to the old village chief: "When building the reservoir, we need these volcanic ash. As long as these volcanic ash are mixed with some lime powder, a cement can be formed.
, the ground of the reservoir made of cement will prevent water seepage.”
The old village chief asked with a confused look on his face: "Cement?"
