In the early morning, the golden sun shines on the beach, the sound of the waves is still there, and the seabirds foraging for food occasionally utter a few crisp calls.Although the breath of early spring is approaching, there is still a bit of bleak chill in the air.

Qi Huaiyuan opened his eyes, coughed a few times, and stood up with difficulty.The wound under the ribs has already been numb with pain, and the limbs are not able to use much strength. This kind of powerless feeling of weakness has not been felt for many years.

Before Chu Min woke up, Qi Huaiyuan saw the sand on his face, and subconsciously reached out to wipe it off, then suddenly stopped his movements as if realizing something was wrong.

The fingertips still rested on that side of the face, clearly feeling the delicate touch.

A bit of thought flashed in Qi Huaiyuan's eyes, and he slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the end of the sea and sky in the distance, rubbing his index finger and thumb unconsciously.

There are too many variables in the world, and he doesn't know what this is, let alone what the consequences will be.

Chu Min fell into a coma for a day and a night, and when he woke up in a daze, it was almost the morning of the next day.From time to time, the fire on the side made slight noises. Qi Huaiyuan was wiping the knife he never left. He could vaguely see dark blood stains on the sand, and a few shrapnel were thrown aside.

"You really are Xiaoqiang," Chu Min sat up, rubbed his swollen head, and complained as Patriarch Qi looked at his normal face, "Wolverine is not as good as you."

Qi Huaiyuan stopped wiping his knife and glanced back at him: "You're awake."

"I don't want to wake up," Chu Min sighed, plopped and lay back down again, "I want to sleep till the end of time."

However, it is obviously unrealistic to lie down like this, because soon Chu Min felt hunger sweeping his body.Huge physical exhaustion and mental fatigue made him urgently need to replenish energy. Although he had obtained the power of Jumang before, it was only used for temporary maintenance after all. After these few days, his stomach is still empty.

It was just past four o'clock in the morning, and when the sea tide was ebbing, the sound of waves was endless.

Qi Huaiyuan, who was sitting by the fire, saw that Chu Min, who was still like a puddle of mud just now, suddenly became energetic, turned over, jumped up and rushed to the beach.

"Can you catch the sea?" Chu Min seemed a little excited, his eyes were very bright reflecting the light of the fire.

Qi Huaiyuan shook his head in a daze.

Patriarch Qi, who grew up in the northern inland and had no childhood, has never seen so many strange sea creatures lying on the beach waiting for people to pick them up.

"Why did you pick up a crab? The shell is so hard, why don't you eat it raw?"

Qi Huaiyuan, who picked up the sea crab just out of curiosity, calmly crushed the crab's shell.

"..." Chu Min rolled his eyes, "Open your mouth."

Qi Huaiyuan didn't know why, so he hesitated to open his mouth slightly, and was immediately stuffed with a cold thing. He was startled by this sudden action, and finally swallowed the thing directly, only to feel that it was soft and creamy, and the juice was delicious.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Seeing his bewildered look, Chu Min couldn't help laughing. He bent down to find another air hole on the beach, and quickly pierced two fingers, missing half of his arm. One more crustacean.This movement is quick, and the appearance of flowing clouds and flowing water is done in one go, which is quite a bit of the demeanor of a martial arts master. At first glance, it is... a veteran foodie.

"What is this?"

"Well, there is a famous dish in Wuzhong. It has a good taste and is very delicious. People in Wu say that eating it is like kissing the tongue of a beautiful woman called Xi Shi Tongue..."

"So what exactly is it?" Qi Huaiyuan interrupted his long speech.

Chu Min gave this kind of person who has no cultural background and interest in life a contemptuous look: "It is actually a kind of seafood clam, because when you open the shell, it will stick out a white soft body, which looks like sticking out your tongue, and it is very unpleasant to eat. It is so delicious that it has the name Xi Shi Tong.”

The working people in ancient times... really knew how to enjoy themselves while suffering.

After barely satisfying their hunger, the two headed inland. Fortunately, the vicinity was not some inaccessible wilderness, and it didn't take long for them to come to an area where human beings were active.The local Icelanders all speak Icelandic with a strong accent. Chu Min could only rely on his basic daily language, even guessing and gestures, to borrow a mobile phone from a kind-hearted aunt.

"We are all smuggled immigrants now," Chu Min handed the phone to Qi Huaiyuan, "Didn't Megan say that he was waiting for us in Iceland, you can try to call him."

Master Guderian, who had lost contact with the Qi family, thought that the suspense he had left wasn't attractive enough, and Qi Huaiyuan didn't want to know anymore, so he decided not to bring him along.Now that he suddenly received the news, he was naturally overjoyed. After a brief understanding of the situation, he greeted him with care, and then he couldn't wait to come to rescue his sweetheart.

Megan arranged a hotel in the local area, Qi Huaiyuan seemed to be very busy, and kept in touch with Kong Zhao, Chu Min finally had the opportunity to calm down and continue to study the next step.

From the depths of the earth in early spring, despair spreads its wings, the eyes of the black dragon look at the rainbow bridge, and the unfallen guardian guards the atrium.Behind the two wolves and two crows, Asgard, the kingdom of God, opened the ancient Hall of Valor.The horn of Tyre's war sounded, and Odin of the golden helmet raised his spear.Yemengarde's poisonous fire spewed out from the ground, the world tree was burning in the fire, and the god's contract was engraved on Kungunir: "Whoever holds this spear rules the world." '

"The unfallen guard...it should be the guard Heimdall...the atrium, tsk, where is it..." Chu Min, who had no idea, was enjoying the rare sunshine in Iceland at the open-air cafe.

This land of ice and fire has the largest glaciers besides Greenland and Antarctica. It is also densely covered with volcanoes and rich in geothermal resources. It is the country with the most hot springs in the world.

It would be a pity to come to this country and not enjoy it.Although the process of coming was not very pleasant, Chu Min soon found the fun after coming.Although there was no progress in solving the puzzle in the past few days, he has already figured out the place of pleasure near this small town. Even the owner of this cafe knows this regular oriental customer.

The boss is also a young guy who speaks English fluently. He likes to play the guitar on the street, and often chats with Chu Min.Today, it was playing as usual, but Chu Min suddenly felt that the ground was shaking?

The boss was very calm, and only told Chu Min in English after the song was over. Because there is a volcano nearby, it seems that the geological activity is very active recently, so there are small earthquakes from time to time.

It was only then that Chu Min remembered that the largest active volcano in Iceland, Vanardals Volcano, seemed to be in this area.

"The government has announced a long time ago that Snake Mouth will probably explode soon..."

"Wait!" Chu Min's heart skipped a beat and interrupted the boss, "What's the name of this volcano?"

"Ah?" The boss explained, "It's the Wana Dals Volcano. Our locals commonly call it Snake Mouth, which seems to have been passed down a long time ago."

Yermungard's poisonous fire spewed out from the ground, and the world tree was burning in the fire... Serpent Yermungard?The poisonous fire gushing out from the ground refers to a volcanic eruption?

"This volcano, can you tell me more about it?"

Seeing that he was interested in this, the boss put down the guitar and thought about it for a while, then began to talk slowly.

"Vannadals Volcano is the largest volcano in Iceland. Because it is an active volcano, we have so many hot springs here, and tourists often come here. However, the eruption cycle of this volcano is quite long, usually very short. It's safe, but I heard that there seems to be an outbreak recently."

"Then do you know why you call it Shezui locally?"

"This... I seem to have heard my grandfather say that this volcano was formed by the giant serpent Yermungard, and the crater is Yermungard's mouth. Because he was jealous of the creatures in the world, he spewed out lava to destroy them. , but these are all legends..."

"Boss, thank you!" Chu Min put down the money, got up and ran away excitedly, leaving behind the cafe owner with a confused face.

Qi Huaiyuan had just finished dealing with domestic affairs and was pacing irritably when he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.

"I know where it is!" Chu Min rushed in as soon as he opened the door.

"What where?"

"Asgard! In Warner Dales Volcano! Legend has it that the world tree has three layers and nine kingdoms, and Odin lives in Asgard, the kingdom of God, which is the highest place in the center. There are three rainbow bridges leading to the atrium, where the guardian Heimdall is there Guarding the only road leading to the Kingdom of God. I think the atrium is at the Vanadals Volcano!" Chu Min was so excited that he walked back and forth in the room, constantly rubbing his hands, and by the way told Qi Huaiyuan what he just heard from the owner of the cafe .

Qi Huaiyuan found the previous satellite positioning picture, and the line extending from the keel indeed passed the volcano.

When Megan learned that the two were planning to go to Vannadals Volcano, she jumped up from her chair with a look of disbelief: "Are you crazy? That's an active volcano that is about to erupt!"

"Of course I know, but I'm already here, so why don't I go back home? Besides, I haven't rescued the wool yet."

Qi Huaiyuan had a flat face, and he didn't seem to take Megan's doubts to heart at all.

Megan, who knew that there was nothing to be persuaded, began to fall into entanglement.As a German, he is naturally unwilling to back down. Beauty and glory are two things that men cannot refuse... Master Guderian comforted himself.

The Vannadals Volcano lies on the Vatnajökull and is surrounded by the Eraifaye Ice Sheet. Crossing the ice sheet, it is possible to climb to the highest crater.So the three of them had to reach the ice cap first, and then go to the hottest place in the world from this icy moment.

Due to manpower constraints, I didn't bring a lot of things this time, but I just packed some necessities for each person and one backpack.What made Chu Mi feel dumbfounded the most was that Patriarch Qi was worthy of being the head of the number one alchemist family in the north, and he could find talisman paper and cinnabar in Iceland. He would rather bring less food and water than bring these things.

The iron gauntlet bought in Oslo was in the bag that was fortunate enough to cross the Norwegian Sea before, and it was also in Qi Huaiyuan's bag at this time, making the bag extremely heavy.Chu Chu originally planned to carry it on the back to try the weight, but it took a lot of effort to lift it up.Qi Huaiyuan, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, snorted, and easily took it and carried it on his back.

Should I strengthen my training... Chu Min thought to himself.
