Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

Oh, Miss Olivia started to blush, it seems that this is true.

The lady also said...

……

After breakfast, Hei also ended her observation task. She learned a lesson from this meticulous observation.

She was totally wrong.

She had originally worried that her young lady would be completely abducted, and was considering whether or not to intervene, but now it seemed that things might very well go the other way.

That being the case...

That's fine.

In this kind of relaxed daily atmosphere, the most essential things are reflected. With the current level of our young lady, she is obviously invincible.

At this time, when she looked at Miss Olicia again, her mentality changed uncontrollably. Although she knew that the other party was very strong, she still vaguely felt that she had the responsibility to take care of her.

After breakfast, they took a beach shuttle to the volcano.

Xiosta Volcano is not very far from the city, and the shuttle bus only took twenty minutes to reach the destination. The three got off the bus, White Wolf and Ceylon walked in front, and Hei walked behind, and they began to climb the volcano.

Since Xiosta Volcano was once an obsidian mining area, the external supporting facilities are quite comprehensive, and there are many roads leading to the crater.

Since arriving in the volcanic area, White Wolf began to discover many natural pools of various shapes, with wisps of steam slowly rising from the pools.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped and pointed to the nearest small pond: "That water..."

"Hot springs." Miss Ceylon, who was secretly observing the situation, immediately explained, "There are many hot springs along the Xiosta volcano, and the hot spring water flows down into the sea."

Bai Lang couldn't help but look around. There were many similar natural hot springs, but she didn't see anyone else along the way, and the surrounding environment didn't seem to be visited often.

"What a pity." She whispered, "This condition should be a good thing for Xiosta."

"There's nothing we can do. People are afraid of this volcano. When the observatory was operating normally, my father tried many times to promote the hot springs here to the public, but no one was interested."

Miss White Wolf walked to the nearest red hot spring pool, squatted down, and put her fingertips into the water. The water temperature was slightly hot, but overall it was at a completely acceptable level.

"Miss Olicia, are you interested in hot springs?" Ceylon suddenly asked behind him.

Miss White Wolf was concentrating on watching the hot spring. She twitched her ears when she heard the words: "I'm a little curious, so I won't be satisfied until I touch it."

Ceylon was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.

Having satisfied her curiosity, Miss White Wolf stood up, turned around and saw Ceylon's appearance, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Excuse me." Miss Ceylon smiled, "What you just said reminded me of... Victoria's cat."

"cat?"

"Yes, in the whole of Terra, only Victorians like to keep cats. They are so cute and curious about everything. They won't be satisfied until you touch them with your paws."

Miss White Wolf rarely sees cats, but she seems to have a natural liking for those little creatures, so she did not take Ceylon's words as an offense, but continued with the other party's words:

"It's a pity that most people don't like to keep cats, and many people are superstitious that cats bring bad luck. Why is Victoria the only exception?"

"But it's because the Victorian royal family is Aslan, so they can barely be related to each other, and people always have a good impression of their own animal relatives."

"My animal relatives... I don't think so." The white wolf shook his head sadly. "I have seen my animal relatives, but they only think about how to eat me. They are not like kittens. If you treat them well, they will treat you well."

Chapter 2022 Abnormalities in the Volcano 12-21-12 00:02:

The little incident on the road passed quickly, and Bai Lang and others did not waste any more time and headed straight towards the crater.

The higher we went, the more deserted the surroundings seemed. I didn't know when Miss Hei walked in front and acted as a guide.

Under Hei's guidance, they walked into a dimly lit mine tunnel. The tunnel was full of twists and turns and full of strange-shaped volcanic rocks. One could easily trip over them if they were not careful.

Fortunately, the mine tunnel was not particularly long. After finally passing through this narrow passage, they officially arrived inside the volcano.

The surrounding space suddenly became open, but dark and visibility was very poor.

Wherever you look, you can see dots of red fluorescent stones inlaid on the rock walls. In the cracks in the rocks around you, some plants that you have never seen before are growing tenaciously. Places farther away cannot be seen clearly.

Miss Hei fumbled around a certain position on the rock wall for a while, and suddenly turned on a switch. Lights came on one after another, and the nearby area was illuminated one after another.

Hei whispered, "Since the obsidian mine stopped mining, the mining lamps here have rarely been maintained, so the overall lighting conditions are not very good."

White Wolf nodded: "This is already very good."

The three people walked down along the abandoned obsidian mine. The further they went down, the higher the temperature they felt and the more broken mining lamps they found.

But at the same time, there are more and more red fluorescent stones, and the White Wolf's dark vision is very good, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see clearly.

After walking for a while, Miss White Wolf suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Hei thought he was in some danger, and immediately took a few steps towards Ceylon, ready to take off his weapon at any time.

"There." Miss White Wolf pointed to the front right position. Under the dim light of the mining lamp, one could see a group of Originium worms connected head to tail in a line, crawling forward.

"It's just an ordinary Originium bug. It's not dangerous." Hei said.

Ceylon narrowed his eyes and observed: "The limbs are red, the carapace is hard, and it likes high temperatures. It is a subspecies of volcanic Originium worm. Strange, this kind of Originium worm should only appear in high temperature areas."

"Maybe it was a coincidence." Hei said.

"If a single or two of them were considered a coincidence, this situation doesn't seem likely. It's really strange. Could it be a special subspecies that doesn't like high temperatures?"

"You'll know after you try it."

As Miss White Wolf spoke, she walked over to the Originium Bug Squad, picked out a smaller one, and picked it up. Interestingly, as soon as she took the Originium Bug away, the other members of the Bug Squad immediately filled in for the missing companion, and there was no sign of chaos.

Miss White Wolf took the little Originium worm aside and placed it on the ground. Ceylon and Hei also gathered around. Perhaps it was aware of the presence of uninvited guests around it, the captured little Originium worm lay there motionless.

"What's wrong with it?" Miss White Wolf poked her captive with her index finger.

"It's playing dead." Miss Ceylon said, "This is a common tactic used by Originium worms when facing danger."

"The little guy is quite clever." Miss White Wolf smiled and covered the little Originium worm with her hands. The Originium technique was activated, and the burning breath spread. Then, the little Originium worm that was pretending to be dead was immediately resurrected.

It eagerly and actively rubbed against White Wolf's hand. Miss White Wolf deliberately withdrew her hand and stood up. The little Originium worm circled around her feet like a child who had lost his candy.

"Their tendency to temperature is very obvious. That's strange. Why don't they stay in the deep layer but come here?" Miss Ceylon frowned. "I guess we need to go to the deep layer to investigate."

Hei saw that something was not right and quickly reminded: "Miss, the mining area is almost at the end. You said before that you would wait in the mining area."

"I did say..."

Ceylon hesitated for a moment, but soon regained his resolve. "Sister Hei, I suspect this anomaly is extraordinary. We can't just sit back and watch. How about this? Let's go a little further. If we don't encounter this kind of Originium worms anymore, it means that the problem is not serious. I'll stop. If we can still see a lot of them, then there is a big problem with the ecology inside the volcano. I'm a researcher at Victoria University and also the mayor's daughter. I have the responsibility and obligation to find out what the problem is."

Miss Hei had a headache and looked at Olivia for help, hoping that she could help persuade her.

Who would have thought that when White Wolf was about to speak, Miss Ceylon predicted and interrupted him: "Miss Olicia, please don't try to persuade me. Isn't Miss Eyjafjalla always doing this?"

White Wolf was of course well aware of Miss Eyjafjalla's situation. Her parents were professors at William University of Leithania, and both died during a field trip. Eyjafjalla herself was also infected with mineralogy due to her research.

Even without mentioning the influence of Eyjafjalla, the motto of the National University's Originium Department is to encourage researchers to face challenges head-on. In addition, Ceylon has indeed discovered the problem. In this case, it is probably unrealistic to persuade the other party to stay where they are.

She gave Miss Hei a helpless look in return, then handed the sampling bag she was carrying to Ceylon and said, "I'm not trying to persuade you. I'm here to protect you. The sampling work is left to you. If you feel you can't stand it anymore, let's leave."

Miss Ceylon narrowed her eyes happily: "Yes, it just so happens that I also know a little bit of medical magic, maybe I can help, let's go."

"Hold on."

"Okay, what are you waiting for?"

"I'll send it back."

Miss White Wolf picked up the little Originium worm lying at her feet, trotted a few steps, caught up with the previous Originium worm team, and then airdropped the little creature back.

Upon seeing the large army, the small Originium worms immediately lost their individual 'free will', automatically hanging at the end of the team, and once again became part of the team.

As soon as the white wolf came back, Miss Ceylon asked with a smile, "Did you remember to put it back?"

"It looks stupid. If we don't help it, it will definitely get lost." White Wolf explained as a matter of course, "Let's go, let's do our own thing."

Hei was thinking again, because she found that after her young lady saw Bailang carrying the little Originium worm back, the look in her eyes when she looked at him became unusually gentle. Could it be that the young lady actually liked Originium worms very much?

……

According to a famous law, if something could go wrong, no matter how small the possibility is, it would always happen. The three people who continued to move forward discovered that the migration of volcanic source stone worms just now was not an isolated case, and more and more similar situations appeared on the road ahead.

Miss Ceylon continued to record data and take photos, and at the same time she concluded that there was definitely something wrong with the ecology deep in the volcano.

What on earth could cause volcanic rockworms to go against their thermophilic nature on a large scale and head for low-temperature areas?

Chapter 2022 Strange Ore 12-22-12 00:02:

The deeper you go, the higher the ambient temperature becomes, and the more anxious Hei becomes.

She repeatedly wanted to ask Ceylon to leave, but every time she saw him bending down from time to time and collecting samples with a focused expression, she felt that she could not say what was in her heart.

Scientific research has been the young lady's ideal since childhood. Is she going to deny the other party's choice on the grounds of safety?

She was so conflicted that she couldn't help but glance at Miss Olicia. She saw that the latter's ears were trembling slightly, her right hand was on the hilt of the sword, and she was on alert.

She suddenly remembered Ceylon's retort to Olicia. From that moment on, the other party must have been sure that it was impossible to stop Ceylon, so she focused all her attention on security precautions.

Hei felt a little annoyed. Every time when it came to Ceylon's safety, his mind was always in a mess and he ignored the most important thing. He was obviously a professional guard, but in fact he did not do as well as Miss Olisia.

She thought that she couldn't stop the young lady in this matter.

She watched the young lady go to Victoria to study, and followed her to the research institute in Ursus. She always did her best to protect the young lady's dream, and it was still the same now. The only thing she could do was to protect her like Miss Olicia did now.

She cast a grateful glance at Olicia, who had inspired her, without caring whether she noticed or not, and then coughed lightly and said:

"The main danger deep inside the volcano is high-energy stone worms. If they are stimulated, they may explode. You must pay close attention to them. High-energy stone worms rarely move. If you accidentally find them right under your nose, it will be dangerous."

Miss White Wolf became even more alert. She had heard people from Rhodes Island talk about this terrible insect and guessed that her energy protection would probably be useless against the shock wave of the explosion.

In order to learn more about this creature, she asked, "Generally speaking, what is the specific explosion power of a high-energy stone worm?"

"Uncertain value." Miss Ceylon replied, "The energy stored in the bodies of high-energy Originium worms varies. The more energy a Originium worm stores, the more powerful its stress explosion will be."

"How do you determine which type of Originium worm has the most energy storage?"

"We can roughly estimate it from the color of the energy storage organs. Yellow or orange ones with dull colors have less energy storage and generally won't cause much damage. Red and bright ones are high-risk species, and their explosive power is close to half the size of an industrial Originium bomb."

Miss White Wolf estimated her own body and felt that her tolerance rate might not be high in front of this kind of Originium worm, unless she prepared in advance and escaped from the explosion range as early as possible.

"Don't worry too much." Miss Ceylon continued, "The high-energy stoneworms are conspicuous in color and very easy to see, and they won't attack humans on their own initiative. As long as we don't approach them intentionally, like the two on the left, it'll be fine."

Miss White Wolf looked in the direction Ceylon pointed, and sure enough, she saw two red Originium worms the size of rock crabs lying on the big rock on the left.

"High-energy stoneworms will only produce stress explosions when they think their lives are threatened. Even if we approach them, as long as our movements are gentle enough, they will not be stressed. We can even touch them lightly with our hands. This is true. The Originium worm researchers in the academy have already achieved this."

"Well, did any of them sacrifice anything?"

"No, a senior student just lost an arm. Everyone thought someone might die, but success came so easily."

"Do you want to try it too?" White Wolf asked the researcher curiously.

"No." Xilan said firmly, "My major is not Originium worm research. The latter is at most a personal hobby."

An An, who was listening in, breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost afraid that her young lady would become depressed. Seeing that they had reached the dangerous area close to the lava, she spoke out in time to remind them:

"From now on, we'd better move a little to the left. There is lava at the bottom of the cliff on the right."

When the white wolf heard the other party's words, his eyes lit up. Instead of going left, he ran to the edge of the cliff to watch curiously. Miss Ceylon turned around and waved to her black sister, and followed excitedly.

Directly below the cliff, about a hundred meters away, you can see dark red magma slowly bubbling.

"This is the lava that Miss Eyjafjalla mentioned." Ceylon said with emotion, "It feels hot from such a distance. I can't imagine how she collected the lava samples."

White Wolf said: "Eyjafjalla is proficient in the art of flame source stone. She is probably even better than your senior sister Tianhuo. Of course, she is not afraid of this temperature."

"Yes, Miss Olicia, this is also your first time seeing magma. What does it feel like?"

"The blood of the earth."

"What a poetic name. Does Miss Olicia like poetry?"

"I like science. You take pictures first, and I'll estimate the altitude and temperature here. We need to prepare research data for Eyjafjalla."

"Okay." Ceylon said as he worked, "I think the ecology here is a little bit wrong, but there's nothing abnormal about the volcanic lava. It doesn't look like the extinct volcano that's been rumored to be resurrecting."

"That would be great, but it would be better to let Eyjafjalla confirm the result."

Miss Hei was not the kind of person who liked to complain. When she saw Bailang and Ceylon lying on the edge of the cliff fearlessly, she felt her eyelids twitching and she wished she could pick up the two little ones, one in each hand, and bring them back.

But when Ceylon took out the notebook and began to make notes, her anger subsided and her expression became dazed.

The young lady said that a researcher's work cannot be separated from external investigations. Could it be that the other party's previous actions have always been subject to such risks?
