Chapter 306: The pungent taste
Chu Qiao knew that Director Xiao was not really angry, so she turned over and quickly fell asleep.
Several people slept very soundly. In Iceland, even without a fire or a tent, there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Firstly, the population is sparse, so the danger from one's own kind is eliminated. Secondly, there is no need to worry about animal attacks, because ordinary animals cannot survive here.
Not having to worry about being attacked, Chu Qiao slept until after 10 o'clock. She stretched, checked the wound on her foot, and made sure it was not infected. Then she went to cut the lamb that had been roasted yesterday with peace of mind.
According to the system task, as long as she found a place with a village, the task would be completed. She calculated that if she walked for another day, she would definitely find a village.
Leave here quickly, there are still many mysteries waiting for him to solve in Beijinzhou.
Director Xiao squatted on the side, shaking his cup, looking relaxed.
"Director Xiao, so happy?"
"Of course, Tony's service. The Outdoor Channel, which was originally at the bottom of the list, jumped up yesterday. The ratings soared, exceeding the total ratings of the previous month."
The wrinkles around Xiao Doule's eyes have become much deeper.
Xiao Wang's eyes lit up: "Does that mean we get a bonus this month?"
"You two are definitely indispensable."
"That's good. I can finally hold my head high. I was always suppressed by the TV drama and movie channels. Now I can turn things around." Xiao Wang seemed to have thought of something and was grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Huang Li laughed: "You turned over in front of your wife, didn't you?"
"What happened to Xiao Wang's wife?"
Xiao Wang hurried to cover Huang Li's mouth, but it was too late: "Xiao Wang's wife works at the movie channel, she gets a lot of bonuses, and she talks about him every day."
Chu Qiao laughed along with a few others. In this world, it was rare for a wife to despise her husband. It seemed that everyone's patriarchal thinking was slowly changing.
"By the way, how do we go today?" Director Xiao became serious.
Chu Qiao stood on a higher hilltop and looked into the distance. "My destination is a place with villages. Generally, locals wouldn't choose to live in a cold place. They must live in a place like where we are now, such as around a volcano."
"Volcano? Aren't they afraid of danger?"
"It's impossible to eliminate the risk completely, but the probability is very small. Most volcanoes have been dormant for hundreds or thousands of years."
"Then let's go in that direction."
"Keep going south."
Several people packed their luggage, and Chu Qiao packed his own mutton jerky.
Continue walking south.
After a morning, the surroundings slowly began to turn green. The plants here seemed to love crawling forward, growing close to the ground, even the trees.
Chu Qiao would pick up a few leaves from time to time and chew on them to replenish the vitamins in his body.
[How long will this last?]
[Look at the deserted area ahead, it feels like it's going to be an eternity.]
Chu Qiao couldn't possibly just walk around like this for three days and three nights, then reach a village and complete his mission.
That's a bit boring indeed.
[No, just let Master Chu be bored for a bit. If he encounters danger, you guys will get anxious again.]
As Chu Qiao walked, he echoed everyone's sentiments: "Iceland's scenery is indeed beautiful, but even people get tired of it after a while, especially when looking at a vast expanse of land."
Xiao Wang: "Chu Qiao, you are wrong. Look, there is a small mound here."
Chu Qiao nodded: "You are right."
There is a big mound over there.
【Nonsense, where did this huge mound come from?】
[My friend upstairs, it really exists, in the southwest direction.]
[Look how excited you are! It's just a mound, isn't it? Beidou's mountain isn't high enough?]
That’s different.
Chu Qiao looked at the mound that the netizen mentioned. It was a mound less than 10 meters high and did not bring any surprises.
"Let's go through."
Chu Qiao encouraged the three exhausted people behind him.
Director Xiao: "Don't worry, my old bones can still hold on."
The three of them walked to the bottom of the mound.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
"Oh no! It's going to rain again?" Xiao Wang wailed. "This weather in Iceland is absolutely awful."
Huang Li was also panicking: "It will definitely get colder if it rains. I hate the cold and damp feeling the most right now."
Chu Qiao frowned. It was a sunny day just now with almost no signs. How could it change so suddenly?
What does this smell like?
"No, it's not raining." Chu Qiao sniffed, "There's a strange smell in the air."
Xiao Wang covered his nose and said, "It's a bit choking when you put it that way."
Director Xiao looked left and right: "What are you talking about? Why can't I smell it?"
"Director Xiao, of course you can't smell it. You can't even smell the stinky tofu people in the office are eating." Xiao Wang's words immediately made Director Xiao blush.
"What are you talking about, little bastard."
Chu Qiao frowned, not in the mood to joke with everyone: "Everyone, be careful, this smell is obviously wrong."
"It looks like someone has set something on fire?" Chu Qiao opened his eyes and looked up.
Sure enough, thick smoke was billowing above the mound.
Huang Li: "Is it on fire? Is the mountain on fire?"
"There's not even a blade of grass on this mound, it's impossible for it to catch fire." Chu Qiao shook his head, watching the smoke grow deeper and higher, and the pungent smell in the air becoming stronger and stronger.
Xiao Wang and Huang Li, who are more sensitive, have started coughing.
"I don't think it's a good thing. You guys step aside and I'll go take a look."
"Be careful." Huang Li said worriedly.
Chu Qiao nodded, scratched the yellow soil with her fingers, and climbed up quickly. The drone was hovering above her head the whole time, allowing her to see the situation ahead earlier.
"Red, liquid"
Chu Qiao suddenly shouted, "Run down quickly."
She gave up trying to escape and simply curled herself up into a ball, quickly rolling down, with the thick red liquid above her head chasing her closely.
"It's lava."
[Master Chu, run.]
[Fuck, what's going on?]
【A volcanic eruption?】
[Hurry up, Master Chu, we're catching up.]
[Oh no, Master Chu is about to be swallowed.]
…
Chu Qiao dodged the lava attack by stepping backwards and yelled, "The lava spewing out isn't that much. Hurry and jump to the side. Don't go to the low-lying areas."
The three people over there finally reacted and followed Master Chu's example by jumping to a slightly higher place nearby, thus avoiding being swallowed by the lava.
At this time, the front was no longer the peaceful mound that they had just seen.
The entire crater is like a big pot, with hot magma flowing in the volcanic lake. On one side of the ridge, there is a huge crack, and black and red magma is constantly flowing out along the crack. Wherever it passes, flowers, trees and all things will be dissolved by its high temperature.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned.
If you can't see the aurora, it's because you don't have the time or energy to go to Iceland. If you can come to Iceland in person, you will most likely be able to see the aurora.
However, the eruption of an active volcano requires chance.
