Ice Season: Day 48 at Sea 4

It's been a long time since I cut down trees, and Yun Mianmian

is a little rusty. But seeing this large area of ​​iron fir trees, Yun Mianmian was very happy.

She cut down two thousand iron fir trees in a rage.

She took out the high-level iron axe and started to cut from the outer circle of the forest, but it was too cold and the wind was too strong. Although she was wearing gloves, her hands were still a little stiff. She was wearing too many clothes and it was not easy to move, so her efficiency was not very high.

She stuck two heating pads on her arms through her clothes, and the effect was very obvious. She became warm in a short while.

After chopping for an hour, Yun Mianmian felt that her whole body was hot, but her clothes were too thick and heavy, and she didn't dare to take them off, because she felt that she was sweating, and if she took off her clothes to blow the wind, it would be troublesome to catch a cold.

Look at the backpack, there are only 200 iron fir logs.

This is the high-level iron axe that she is using, if she is lucky.

At this efficiency, it will take ten hours to get 2,000 iron fir logs.

Too slow!

Yun Mianmian exclaimed.

"I almost forgot that Octopus Girl is still in the backpack."

Yun Mianmian took out the pet bag and let Octopus Girl out. She gave Octopus Girl three axes and two saws.

Without any instructions, Octopus Girl knew what to do.

It looked around and seemed very curious.

Yun Mianmian was afraid that it would be cold, so she gave it something to eat first.

Octopus Girl has many tentacles, and even though she is holding so many tools, she can still use her tentacles to eat.

Seeing it feasting, Yun Mian Mian got used to it and actually thought it was a little cute.

After eating, Octopus Girl and Yun Mian Mian worked together.

With Octopus Girl's help, the efficiency was much faster.

Octopus Girl couldn't hit trees, but she had many hands and moved quickly.

Yun Mian Mian Mian got dozens of woods from chopping a tree, and Octopus Girl could get ten woods from chopping a tree. But in the same amount of time, Yun Mian Mian Mian chopped down a tree, and it could chop down several trees.

After three hours of fighting, Yun Mian Mian Mian got 1,500 iron fir trees.

Yun Mianmian was also very tired. She sat down against a big tree, took out her thermos, drank half a cup of hot water, and ate some food. The fatigue in her body gradually disappeared, and Yun Mianmian stood up to continue chopping.

After another hour of hard work, there were almost two thousand iron fir trees in her backpack, and Yun Mianmian stopped.

At this time, the time was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was too late to discover the Penguin Island, and it was not early to go to the island, so she had to seize the time in the afternoon to find more resources. At worst, she would not return to the ship tonight.

Yun Mianmian brought a sleeping bag and daily necessities.

After leaving the fir forest, there were no other trees to be seen, only some dense lichens with various shapes and very strange appearances.

Yun Mianmian was not interested in these things, so she did not collect them. Instead, she went around this road to find the volcano.

According to the map, the volcano is on the other side.

Yun Mianmian had to leave the cedar forest, cross the beach, and cross an ice floe area from the coast to get there.

The road was difficult to walk on, so Yun Mianmian asked Octopus Sister to return to the pet bag.

The coast was full of ice floes, but fortunately the ice surface looked very solid, and the ice floes were not far apart, so Yun Mianmian could easily pass through them.

But from a distance, there seemed to be a few seals on the ice floes.

Yun Mianmian was not sure if she would be attacked if she went over.

Some seals are aggressive.

The seabirds in the sky would not fly down. Although there were many seabirds, they looked very small and had little meat on their bodies. They were not Yun Mianmian's target. She always felt that if she shot them down, there would not be much meat on them and they would not be tasty.

But the main reason was that she was worried that the arrows would fall into the sea and it would be difficult to pick them up.

Yun Mianmian took out the magic arm bow from her backpack and put it on her back. With a broadsword in her hand, she walked towards the floating ice area step by step.

When the seals saw Yun Mianmian, they were observing at first, as if they were very curious about her. When she walked over, most of the seals moved away.

Seals are mammals, not fish. Yun Mianmian's sea language beads have no effect on them, so she can't understand what they say.

Yun Mianmian now has two pet bags, and she is thinking about whether to catch another seal and bring it back. She won't sign a contract with it, but she can sell it to other players.

Maybe a friend needs it.

She walked over and wanted to pick one with a good look.

There is more than one species of seals here.

They are not on the same ice block, but occupy several ice blocks respectively, and they don't seem to like to be together.

Yun Mianmian can recognize Weddell seals and crab-eating seals.

If you compare them, the Weddell seal is cuter, cute and fat, with black and light gray fur on its body, and it is chewing on the ice while staring at Yun Mianmian.

As for the crab-eating seal, its body is slender, its fur is silver, it seems to have scars on its body, and its eyes are not so soft and cute.

There are more crab-eating seals, only three Weddell seals, and about seven or eight crab-eating seals, and some are playing in the water.

Yun Mianmian observed and found that these seals looked quite docile.

But the seal called Milk Bag that Mom contracted was not one of these two species.

Yun Mianmian took out some Antarctic krill from her backpack.

Seals probably like to eat this, too.

She threw some over, and sure enough, some seals soon came to eat.

The crab-eating seals were especially more flexible.

Maybe after eating the food, they felt that Yun Mianmian had no ill intentions, so the seals were not afraid of Yun Mianmian at all.

Yun Mianmian walked over and reached out to touch one of the Weddell seals. It was slippery, and she felt a little cold through her gloves.

Seeing its well-behaved appearance, Yun Mianmian kind of wants one.

However, she likes it, but she can't just contract one for the sake of keeping a pet.

If she contracts, she still has to choose one that is more suitable for survival.

Speaking of which, Nie Yangguang might still want one.

However, penguins and seals cannot live together, as seals will prey on penguins.

Forget it.

Yun Mianmian took out her pet bag, selected a cute Weddell seal and put it in, then continued walking forward.

She jumped back and forth on the ice floes for about half an hour, and she had the illusion that she was playing the jumping game that appeared on the WeChat applet many years ago.

When she finally left the ice floe area, Yun Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out the map to check.

It was not far from the nearest crater.

Yun Mianmian had already seen many ice caves.

There would be many steep icicles near the volcano, but these icicles were different from those seen on the Ice Crystal Island.

Yun Mianmian walked over and knocked a few times with a pickaxe,

but there was no ice marrow inside. Although she was a little disappointed, she had guessed it.

The ice marrow was found in the ice cracks underground before, and the icicles here didn't even glow, so they were obviously not the same thing.

However, Yun Mianmian thought about it and took out the ore detector for testing.

The ore detector made a beeping sound, which was very harsh.

It can be seen that there are a lot of ores underground.

Yun Mianmian took out an electric drill and started drilling, but after a long time, she didn't drill out anything.

The ore may be underground, and she can't drill holes like this. It is estimated that an excavator will be needed.

Yun Mianmian hesitated for a moment and decided to look for the crater first.

Volcanic activity can form minerals, and if you find a crater, you may be able to find exposed ores.

For example, sulfur ore, copper ore, and iron ore...

Yun Mianmian needs a large amount of iron ore, otherwise she can't do anything.

Her iron ore reserves have been exhausted.

When she found the volcano, Yun Mianmian was shocked by the scenery in front of her.

This volcano is located in the frozen snow, surrounded by ice and snow.

Only this volcano is steaming in the middle. The volcano

is at a very high altitude. Yun Mianmian stood at the foot of the mountain and hesitated whether to climb up now.

At least two or three thousand meters in height, according to the map, this volcano is an active volcano. Although it looks very calm, the thick smoke coming out of the top of the volcano makes people a little scared.

The map showed that there were many mysterious caves in this volcano.

Yun Mianmian was even more curious about these caves.

But after observing it for a while, she didn't seem to find any caves at the foot of the mountain.

It seemed that she had no choice but to go up.

It was getting late and it would get dark very early. It would be dark in an hour.

She took out her safety helmet, put it on first, and turned on the light as soon as it got dark.

But if she did that, she would have to replace her warm hat, which was quite cold.

But safety was important.

Who knows if this volcano will suddenly erupt something, what if it hits her head.

Yun Mianmian took a moment to drink some hot water and eat something, then she was ready to start climbing.

She put the extra weapons on her body into her backpack first, and only took out the trekking poles. Having these things could help her save some energy and would be safer when climbing at night. It

took Yun Mianmian more than two hours to climb halfway.

She looked down and saw that it was really high.

It was all covered with ice and snow, and it was difficult to make a fire. Yun Mianmian began to worry about where she would stay after she came down the mountain at night.

If she found enough supplies, it would be better for her to rush back to the boat overnight.

Yun Mianmian happened to be a little tired. She thought about it, sat down to rest, and sent a message to Luo Luo to ask her how she was now.

"Luo Luo, how are you? I found another T island and I'm going to the island first."

"I cut a lot of iron fir and will give it to you when I come back. I'm on the volcano now, and I'll probably stay on the island tonight."

Luo Luo didn't reply, probably still busy.

Yun Mianmian drank some water and prepared to get up and continue climbing.

It was completely dark by then. If it weren't for the light on the helmet, I probably wouldn't be able to see the road under my feet.

Yun Mianmian was even more thankful that she was wearing crampons, otherwise she would have slipped and fallen.

Fortunately, these shoes are quite strong and they grip the ground very firmly along the way.

Of course, she also walked very carefully.

Although Yun Mianmian was a little tired and felt that it was not easy to find resources, she thought of those players who couldn't level up at sea and were tortured by blizzards, and she felt that she was already very lucky.

She couldn't let her good luck down, she had to be stronger.

Yun Mianmian gritted her teeth and continued to climb up.

Perhaps because it was too difficult to climb, time passed very slowly. Suddenly, she saw an orange-red light erupting from the top of the mountain, accompanied by boiling gas, illuminating the entire top of the mountain.

Yun Mianmian was startled, and it was because of this light that she realized that she was about to reach the crater.

There must be resources there, but opportunities and dangers often coexist.

Yun Mianmian took a deep breath and continued to climb.

The temperature above became much higher. Yun Mianmian was no longer cold, but her palms began to sweat.

She grabbed the trekking pole and stared at the crater on the top of the mountain.

Just now, the crater ejected some thin volcanic bombs like fireworks. Yun Mianmian guessed that it was magma.

The lava was thrown into the air by the impact, and then quickly cooled. After falling to the ground, it turned into strange volcanic bombs.

This kind of thing is probably useless, Yun Mianmian thought, it is better to use volcanic ash.

Oh, right, she can get more volcanic ash back, volcanic ash has many uses.

It can increase soil fertility and protect plants from cold and drought.

Yun Mianmian was thinking about the plants on the boat.

The soil in the backpack was used up, but the box for the soil was still there, which could be used to store volcanic ash.

But volcanic ash is not the most important thing, she has to find ore first.

When she reached the edge of the crater, she found several vents, and volcanic bombs were ejected one after another. Fortunately

, they did not hit Yun Mianmian. She was a little scared even though she was wearing a safety helmet. If the volcanic bomb was too big, it would be an accident if it hit her head.

But today's luck is good, and it is estimated that this situation will not happen. This is also the reason why Yun Mianmian dared to climb the mountain. Without a little luck, she would not dare to climb an active volcano.

Soon, Yun Mianmian reached the top.

She saw many vents at the top of the peak, and the air was full of the smell of sulfur.

Because the volcano erupted, many ice towers were formed, white smoke billowed out, and flames illuminated the glacier. This spectacle was shocking, but Yunmianmian was too busy to appreciate it because she discovered many minerals.

They were everywhere!
