Jiang Ran's judgment was correct.

After leaving the glacier, we didn't walk far before we saw the volcanic pool in the distance.

Fu Bo looked at the steam rising from afar and said happily, "It looks quite warm over there! Can I go in and take a bath later?"

"Sure." Jiang Ran looked at him lovingly.

Fu Bo was overjoyed. He had just taken two steps when he heard Jiang Ran's voice drifting from behind him: "But the temperature of a volcanic pool is generally around 1,000 degrees Celsius. If you jump in like that, you'll probably be cooked right there."

Fu Bo: “…”

But after entering the volcanic pool area, the surrounding environment finally became much warmer.

The cold air on the glacier was not completely blocked, and it still rushed towards this side across a long distance. However, under the confrontation between the two, the number representing the ambient temperature has become positive.

This is enough to move everyone.

As he carefully passed by the volcanic pool, Jiang Ran also discovered many edible grasses, mosses and lichens.

Ren Xiayang curiously picked up a piece of reindeer moss. It was white and looked like a small branch, or even a reindeer antler. The tiny piece, placed in his palm, looked both pitiful and adorable.

Ren Xiayang touched the reindeer moss and said, "I can't bear to eat it."

At the same time, Fu Bo, who was standing next to him, suddenly stuffed a handful of reindeer moss into his mouth and chewed it, his brows furrowed. "This doesn't taste good either..."

Ren Xiayang glanced at him, carefully bit off a piece, tasted it, and savored it for a while before saying, "It's not bad. It has a light fragrance."

Jiang Ran: “…”

When these two get together, they can really turn anything into a delicious meal.

However, reindeer moss does not provide any nutrition after all, it can only fill the stomach and make people less hungry.

Jiang Ran looked at everyone gnawing on the moss with some difficulty or curiosity, and always felt that he was abusing them.

She looked around and came up with an idea: "We've finally made it out of the glacier. How about cooking a meal to celebrate?"

Ren Xiayang and Fu Bo's eyes immediately lit up: "Great! This is great!"

Zeng Pei said jokingly, "Just tell us what you need to do."

To cook, the first step is of course to find the ingredients.

Jiang Ran divided the six-person team into two groups. One group went to look for trees, where they could pick up firewood and shoot a bird that feeds on berries and seeds from the trees. They are called ptarmigans, and their feathers are pure white, so they are also called snow chickens.

The other group went looking for the cliffs.

Fu Bo followed her and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for something on the cliff? What kind of food do you have to go to the cliff to find?"

Bai Zhiyong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's looking for the cloud pine? I heard that the pine trees on ancient Earth all grew in the crevices of cliffs, and they were often praised for their tenacious growth."

Fu Bo was puzzled. "What's so great about this? Don't plants grow in their most suitable environment? Perhaps the cliff is the perfect breeding ground for the pine tree? Cliffs are dangerous to humans, but not necessarily to other plants."

Jiang Ran stopped and looked back at Fu Bo.

Fu Bo felt terrified: "Why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Ran said, "I didn't expect you to be able to say such things. I'm really impressed by you."

Fu Bo suddenly felt proud: "Of course not, don't you even look at me..."

"It really feels like my silly son has grown up!" Jiang Ran said with relief.

Fu Bo: “…” Who are you talking about?

After laughing for a while, Jiang Ran finally gave them a detailed explanation.

The reason for searching cliffs is not because there is anything edible growing on them, but to see if there are any animals that have accidentally fallen from the cliffs.

"Sheep have been grazing here since the Viking Age, feeding on grass. In addition, there are also many other animals such as bighorn sheep, snow sheep, and northern deer, all of which are edible."

Jiang Ran looked around and said, "Thousands of years have passed. In an environment without humans, they should reproduce more densely. The terrain here is very varied, and animals can easily get trapped or fall off the cliffs."

After hearing this, Fu Bo understood. He nodded in sudden realization: "So we are going to pick up the leaks, right?"

Jiang Ran: “…”

Jiang Ran: "That's fine too."

Everyone's luck index seems to be off the charts today.

Before long, they not only found the cliff, but also successfully found a leak at the bottom of the cliff.

A sheep that had died not long ago. It had fallen to its death and was not carrying any disease, so it was completely edible.

"Its eyeballs are still there and haven't been taken away. It must have been dead for most of the day."

Jiang Ran said happily, "The average temperature here is only about three or four degrees Celsius, which keeps the meat fresh. It will be a great ingredient."

Upon hearing this, Fu Bo walked forward without hesitation and placed his hands under the dead sheep: "Um...ah...roar!"

After trying for a long time, the sheep didn't move at all.

Jiang Ran approached with amusement: "This sheep must weigh 20 to 30 kilograms. There are hillsides and chasms on the way back. Even if you can lift it, you won't be able to walk back."

Upon hearing this, Fu Bo withdrew his hand, suddenly collapsed to the ground, and let out a long breath.

At this moment, Ren Xiayang took two steps forward.

He lifted the sheep up like a piece of cotton, then turned around and said in a light tone: "Let's go back quickly! I'm so hungry!"

Jiang Ran and Fu Bo: "..."

I almost forgot that this guy is from the military. Carrying a few dozen kilograms of weight is definitely a piece of cake for him.

When we returned to the agreed meeting place, another group happened to have arrived as well.

They were also lucky enough to find the thunderbird and the branch.

but……

Jiang Ran walked forward, squatted down, and picked through the pile of branches they had picked up.

After a long while, she apologized and said, "I forgot to tell you that the branches used for making a fire must be dry enough. Most of these are damp from the snow and won't make a fire."

Ren Xiayang was anxious and sad: "Then can we still cook and eat?"

"This..." Jiang Ran stood up, looked around, and then walked to the volcanic pool to take a few more glances. "Maybe there is still a way."

"What's the solution?" Fu Bo's passion was rekindled. "Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Ran pointed to the volcanic pool next to him and said, "Look, isn't this just a natural fire?"

The temperature of the volcanic pool is as high as thousands of degrees Celsius. Anyone who jumps in will surely die, but food put in will be cooked in just a dozen seconds.

Jiang Ran pulled up the cooked ingredients with a rope, put them in a jar and soaked them in hot melted snow water. He added moss to remove the fishy smell and seasoned it with the seasonings he brought with him. In just a few minutes, lunch was ready.

She cupped her hands around the jar and exclaimed, "This might be the fastest meal I've ever made in my life."

Ren Xiayang squatted beside her, staring at the jar in her hand with a fierce look in his eyes: "Then can I be lucky enough to have the fastest meal?"

Jiang Ran's appetite wasn't that big, and while the others were happily eating, she had already put down her jar.

Seeing everyone learn the method and excitedly hanging the meat and sinking it into the volcanic pool, she couldn't help but remind them jokingly: "Be careful not to fall in, otherwise you will become food too."

Fu Bo was in high spirits and waved his hand casually: "Don't worry!"

How could Jiang Ran feel at ease?

She looked towards Fu Bo and the others frequently, but suddenly realized that they had already sunk the food for almost a minute and had not pulled it up again.

Are you cooking meat or fishing?

Knowing that everyone was just having fun, Jiang Ran stopped paying attention and turned to look at the sheep that was cut into pieces.

Sheep are full of treasures. In addition to edible meat, their fat can also be used as emergency food and fuel. Carry some with you, and you don’t have to worry too much about not being able to start a fire.

Jiang Ran did it right away. He cut the sheep's fat, wrapped it up and put it in his backpack.

When Jiang Ran finished his work, Fu Bo and others next to him had just finished eating the food they had just cooked.

They lay on the ground with their legs spread out, their faces full of satisfied and enjoyable expressions.

Fu Bo said, "This taste, wow, is probably the most delicious mutton I have ever eaten."

Ren Xiayang also stretched himself, squinting his eyes and said, "It's cooked with boiling volcanic water."

Jiang Ran kicked them amusedly, but the two men didn't move at all.

Are you sleeping right now?

Jiang Ran kicked again: "Get up quickly, don't lie on the ground."

Fu Bo turned around slowly and said, "I won't get up. I want to sleep here until I die."

Jiang Ran: "Okay, whatever you want."

Fu Bo was very surprised.

Why did Jiang Ran suddenly become so easy to talk to?

The next second, Jiang Ran's voice came from a distance.

"You guys continue to sleep here. I'm taking the others to the hot springs."

The author has something to say:

【Small Theater】

Fu Bo: Hot springs! What hot springs?

Ren Xiayang: Hot springs! Where are the hot springs?

Jiang Ran smiled: In a dream.
