Probably because it is so old, many places are mottled and peeled off due to weathering.
But Zhang Long felt that these patterns looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Long found that he really had no talent in this area. It was a pity that Zhang Xiaotong was not here. If it were him, he might be able to see something.
At this time, the two of them were already halfway up the mountain. Although the sky was getting darker and darker, Zhang Long felt that the temperature around here seemed to be getting higher and higher, but it was only a little higher and not particularly obvious.
This seemed to mean that he was getting closer to the truth about the temperature differences in this area.
"Keep walking."
Although there are still traces of walking on the next section of the road, it is much steeper than before. The ground is full of rocks, and you will be bruised if you are not careful.
Despite this, Xiaoya was still as nimble as a deer in the mountains, walking in front of Zhang Long to guide him.
This made Zhang Long feel a little ashamed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The two people walked one behind the other. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the sparser the surrounding vegetation and the more stones on the ground.
It was already more than an hour later when we reached the top of the mountain.
The temperature here was so frightening that Zhang Long had to take off his shirt and stand on the top of the mountain. He could overlook most of the island, but it seemed that it was only so hot here, and the rest was covered with snow.
After resting for a while, he turned around and saw Xiaoya squatting in front of a stone slab not knowing what she was doing.
Walk over and take a look.
Xiaoya caught a squirrel out of nowhere. She threw the squirrel on the stone slab. White smoke mixed with the smell of burnt skin and flesh immediately came out, and the squirrel screamed in pain.
Another stone in Xiaoya's hand quickly pressed on the squirrel, making it unable to move. After a scream, a flame burned, and within a few minutes, the air was immediately filled with the aroma of meat.
Xiaoya then took the slate away, tore the cooked squirrel into two pieces, and handed one piece to Zhang Long.
Looking at the innocent and romantic smile on Xiaoya's face, the corners of Zhang Long's mouth twitched.
Gee, how could this guy do such a cruel thing with such a pretty face...
If Bai Wenwen were here, she would have been frightened by the operation just now.
In fact, not to mention Bai Wenwen, even Zhang Long himself was shocked.
Although he had eaten squirrels a lot in this wilderness, this was the first time he saw such a cruel way of cooking.
In order to live up to Xiaoya's kindness, Zhang Long said thank you and took the half of the squirrel.
Xiaoya seemed to be used to it. She held half of the squirrel in her hands and started chewing it. Even the bones were chewed so hard that they made a clicking sound.
Zhang Long felt frightened when he saw it, so he simply gave her the squirrels in his hand, saying that he would just eat the wild fruits.
The squirrel looked quite big, but in fact it didn't have much meat except for its hair. Xiaoya didn't waste any of it. She ate all the bones that could be chewed. Those that couldn't be chewed were put on the stone board and used another piece.
Crush the stone and stuff it into your mouth.
This series of actions is so fierce!
Zhang Long couldn't help but wonder, had Xiaoya lived like this before?
This is too original!
When I think that in today's modern society, there are still such people, I can't help but feel a little pity in my heart.
"Xiaoya, can you come with me?
I'll take you to my place where we have food, lots of food, and a place to stay."
Xiaoya didn't agree or refuse, she just looked at him with a pair of almond-shaped eyes.
Zhang Long sighed helplessly.
"Whether you agree or not, I must take you out!"
After the two of them had eaten, Zhang Long suddenly realized that when Xiaoya scalded the squirrel to death just now, it seemed that she had not heated the stone in advance.
Wait a minute! Could it be that...this stone will heat up on its own?
Thinking like this, Zhang Long used his palm to test the temperature on it.
as expected!
But, why is this?
Thinking back on the surrounding climate and the hot springs I just discovered...
Yes, hot spring!
When I discovered the hot spring, I was just applauding for love. Why didn’t I remember what this hot spring was about?
Zhang Long slapped his thigh.
From this point of view, there may be a volcano below.
And it is very likely that it is a dormant volcano.
Generally, volcanoes are divided into three types: extinct volcanoes, dormant volcanoes and active volcanoes.
Generally speaking, an extinct volcano is a volcano that will never erupt again, while an active volcano is one that erupts magma from time to time.
Dormant volcanoes are in between the two. Such volcanoes often have a dormant period for a certain period of time after an eruption. During this period, they will not erupt, but they can easily erupt due to external factors, just like a volcano that does not know the time.
time bomb!
Zhang Long broke into a cold sweat unconsciously at the thought of having such a time bomb around him.
This volcano is so large that the heat it emits can make the temperature on the entire mountain as warm as spring, which is why the surrounding environment is so abnormal.
But once this volcano erupts, it will be a devastating disaster for the entire island!
By then, no creature on the island will be safe.
If they were still living on this island at that time, the consequences would be disastrous...
It seems that we must speed up and find a way to get out of here!
Zhang Long didn't dare to stay here longer, so he hurried down the mountain with Xiaoya and stayed in Xiaoya's cave for one night.
The next day, Zhang Long found a lot of vines to make a rope, then tied an irregular stone to one end of the rope and threw it hard on the tree on the cliff.
Under the action of inertia, the stone circled the tree several times. Finally, due to the irregularity of the stone, it got stuck in the tree. From this, Zhang Long climbed up with Xiaoya.
After repeating this several times, he finally reached the place where he crawled out of the snow before.
When we got here, Xiaoya was so cold that she kept rubbing her arms because of her thin clothes.
Zhang Long simply gave her his coat.
The two of them walked out together.
It was not until noon that we arrived at the place where we encountered the avalanche.
A huge stone stood in the middle of the road. Zhang Long ran over to check it, and after confirming that there were no sled fragments around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the decision I made before was correct. She really escaped."
The big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Xiaoya: "Let's go, I will take you to meet some new friends."
