Disaster Strikes

Because of the volcanic ash erupted from volcanoes everywhere, the sky of the Iceborn world is always gray and accompanied by a pungent smell.

Chen Mo, who once lived near the mines in the Misty World, knew that this was the smell of sulfur.

The continuous rain and drizzle occupied half of the time in this world, making it very inconvenient for the volcano people who came to the Molten Coat to move, but today is a sunny day, or cloudy weather.

A group of eight people walked along the mountain path and bypassed an active volcano in the distance.

Of course, there are also several volcano servants controlled by Tiantian, as well as the mystery cat, tyrant, and the nanomechanical dog summoned by Linda.

The time came to nine o'clock in the morning.

After two battles last night and rushing on the trail, everyone was a little tired and sat together to rest. Chen Mo took out an energy stone and lit the flame, then looked at Zhang Lan'er and asked her if she had brought any food.

"We left in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare."

In fact, Zhang Lan'er was already starving last night, but because the situation was too critical, she had been enduring it and didn't make a sound. Feng Yiyi fell asleep in her arms.

"Yeah."

Chen Mo nodded and looked around.

Chirp!

There were unknown giant birds hovering in the sky, but they were flying too high and not too close. They were probably not weak. He gave up quickly and looked at the dense forest on the hillside again. After the divine mind scanned it, he seemed to have found something.

Seeing him get up to go hunting, Zhang Lan'er hurriedly reminded him.

"You have to be careful of elemental creatures."

"Yes."

In the ancient Ice World, elemental creatures were once regarded as close partners. The coming-of-age ceremony of many Ice People was to sign a contract with elemental creatures in nature, but later Volcano People regarded them as prey, which attracted the hostility of elemental creatures towards humans.

But the target Chen Mo found was not far away.

It was a creature similar to a marmot, which was very fat and was foraging in the jungle. The entrance of the cave was not far away from it.

After Chen Mo flew a hundred meters away from it, it seemed to have aroused its vigilance.

After realizing that this little guy was unusually alert, Chen Mo stopped acting rashly and launched the Maimang technique, which was Chen Mo's most suitable skill for ultra-long-distance sneak attacks.

Puff!

As the little guy fell, Chen Mo smiled.

"Success."

This seemed to make him happier than killing a Volcano People, so he quickly came to the prey.

At this moment, it was not completely dead yet, and its hind legs were still cramping. Chen Mo picked up its hind legs and walked towards the temporary camp. When passing a bush, he suddenly noticed a little man similar to a mantis in the bush.

"Huh?"

Chen Mo stopped and looked at it.

This little man quickly melted into the tree trunk as if he had performed a wood escape technique and disappeared.

"Wood elemental elf?"

This elf is not the same creature as the elves in the Amazon forest world.

The elves in the Amazon forest world are more like elves in fairy tales, belonging to fairies living in the cracks of nature, while the elf just now is an elemental creature in this world, a special creature that gathers the essence of natural energy.

However, the wood elemental creature that Chen Mo saw can only be regarded as a kindergarten baby.

After a slight smile, he didn't care and continued to walk forward. He soon returned to the camp, quickly dealt with the prey in his hand, and grilled it on the spot.

While making breakfast, Chen Mo chatted with Nicole.

After the initial contact that night, Nicole finally let down her guard against the people in the tour group and talked about some of her own things.

At the same time, he noticed that Zhang Lan'er kept looking into the distance.

"Madam, don't worry."

Chen Mo comforted: "After they know the difference in our strength, they will definitely not come back. When they return to Oren City to get reinforcements and chase us, we don't know where we are. The most important thing now is to fill our stomachs."

"Yeah."

It took about 20 minutes for Chen Mo to slowly roast the prey with charcoal fire until it was golden, exuding an attractive aroma, making everyone swallow their saliva.

"It's a pity that there is no seasoning."

Chen Mo tore off the fattest hind leg and handed it to Zhang Lan'er and Feng Yiyi.

Tiantian said on the side: "The most delicious food often uses the simplest cooking method. Well, boss, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, perfect!"

Then she sucked her fingers in front of Chen Mo, looking quite tempting.

Although the size of this prey is not small, there are many people waiting for breakfast.

After removing the head and internal organs, everyone divided it equally, but no one got much. Chen Mo said, "It seems that we have to consider the issue of food in the next few days."

The Ice World not only has no concept of roads, but also no concept of villages.

Whether it is the people of the Volcano or the Ice, they will use volcanic ash and energy stones to cultivate a special mushroom, which is their staple food. If they are in the wild, they can only find a way by themselves.

After breakfast, everyone continued to move forward.

Until the evening.

Chen Mo, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and their faces changed slightly.

"Stone man?"

Tiantian was stunned.

There were stone giants, some small, some two or three meters, and some huge, some seven or eight meters. There were at least hundreds of them, wandering on the road that everyone had to pass.

In other worlds, seeing a few elemental creatures was considered good luck, but the elemental creatures in this world actually lived in groups.

Zhang Lan'er was surprised and said, "Why are there so many stone men here?"

The uncle couldn't help but murmur.

"So many."

Some of these stone men sat motionless, some walked in groups of two or three, and some grabbed a handful of mud and chewed it, just like the cattle in other worlds.

"There seem to be quite a few level 2 guys in there."

Chen Mo said solemnly, "Dealing with these guys may be more difficult than the battle last night."

He glanced at everyone.

Seeing that no one wanted to fight, he said, "I think we should rest here for a night and see if they will leave tomorrow. How about it?"

"Okay."

Everyone didn't want to conflict with these elemental creatures.

However, on the second day, these stone men still blocked the road that everyone had to pass, and had no intention of leaving at all.

Chen Mo had carefully read the map last night.

If he continued to take a detour, there would be no more accidents in the next ten days. This was too risky, so he decided to force his way through.

"I'll try to negotiate."

Zhang Lan'er suddenly said, "I'm an Iceborn. These elemental creatures are generally relatively friendly to Iceborn. Maybe they can let us pass."

Chen Mo naturally knew that this was no longer the ancient times.

These elemental creatures generally hate humans.

But since she was willing to try, Chen Mo naturally couldn't stop her, so he said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

Zhang Lan'er didn't bring Feng Yiyi with her. Chen Mo and her walked slowly.

As the stone people noticed the two, they slowed down and indicated that they were not in danger. Then two giants walked out of the stone crowd. They were seven or eight meters tall and had the strength of at least the level of a second-level small leader.

Zhang Lan negotiated with the two stone men in the ancient Ice language.

Although the two stone men spoke slowly, their movements were not slow at all. After the two of them talked for a while, Zhang Laner smiled and gestured to Chen Mo.

"Successful, we are very lucky, they are just temporarily resting here."

"Okay."

Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

These stone men are not weak, and there are many of them. It is unknown when the pursuers from Oren City will come again, so it is best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
