Chapter 174 173. Volcanoes
Continuing to go south, using snowballs as markers along the way, Su Yun must be ready to go to the mother seal to suck milk at all times.

The clothes soaked in urine were clinging to the belly, and the bear cub curled up on the other side of Su Yun's arms, avoiding the spot where it peed just now. It even disliked its own urine.

Su Yun pulled the clothes attached to his belly from time to time, the body temperature and the cold air from the outside offset the urine, and the urine couldn't dry or freeze, the more disturbed he was when he pulled it.

The hat on the soles of the feet is already damp, and the soles of the feet are numb from the cold. The most urgent thing for Su Yun now is to find the island to light a fire, drive the cold air from the soles of the feet out of the body, and then dry the shoes.

The snow on the soles of the feet is getting thinner and thinner, only a shallow layer, Su Yun wondered, could it be that the snowstorm the day before yesterday didn't blow here?
Lifting his feet and walking, suddenly he heard a crackling sound coming from under his feet, Su Yun was startled, and quickly raised his feet and dodged aside.

He took the flashlight and shone it on the ground, and when he saw the source of the sound, he froze immediately.

I saw a polar bear inlaid in the ice layer, its white hair blended into the surrounding snow. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. If Su Yun didn't step on a bone of the opponent and startled him, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Reach out to sweep away the snow on the corpse, revealing the scrawny polar bear corpse lying on its side.

The place where the bone was broken by Su Yun's step has been sunken, revealing a hole through which the opponent's heart can be clearly seen.

[This is a polar bear? 】

【So thin, did he starve to death? 】

[Damn, I was startled, I thought it was a monster, but after a closer look, I found out it was a polar bear. 】

Su Yun squatted at the head of the corpse, overlooking the entire body of the other person. Layers of ribs were clearly visible, the stomach was shriveled, the eyes were round, and the canine teeth were exposed, looking ferocious.It seems that he saw his prey before he died.

Gently tapping on the opponent's head, Su Yun said pityingly, "Looking at the emaciated appearance of the opponent, he should have been starved to death. Of course, the cold temperature hastened the death of the opponent."

"Looking at the curved spine of the other party, it should be lying on the ground sideways, trying to curl up to preserve body temperature, and then be frozen, completely preserving the other party's body before death."

"You can imagine how it struggled to get up before it died, but it had no strength and its body trembled."

Saying that, he got up and measured the opponent's length with his feet. "The body length is about two meters. The gender of the opponent can be judged as male through the genitals. That is to say, this adult male polar bear has not received any food for at least three months."

Dazed for a moment, Su Yun said in disbelief, "Has the ecological environment in the North Pole forced an adult male polar bear to the point where it hasn't caught any food for three months?"

Sighing, Su Yun shook his head helplessly and got up and continued to walk south, the snowballs would stop piling up, let's use the polar bear corpse as a marker.

[Why don’t polar bears go to human territory to be cute and get food? Just like the giant pandas in our country and the brown bears in Maozi Country, don’t they live their lives clinging to people’s laps? 】

[Yes, what dignity is needed to have a full stomach.The giant pandas in our country have all been downgraded. Isn't this just hugging human thighs? 】

Su Yun said, "The national conditions in Canada are different from those in other countries. According to Canadian laws, humans are not allowed to feed polar bears, because they believe that polar bears will lose their ability to hunt if they rely too much on humans. Of course, there are other One theory is to prevent humans from poisoning polar bears and then profiting from their fur."

Continuing to head south, the snow on the ground became less and less until it disappeared. Gradually, the soles of my feet stepped on the accumulated water.

Su Yun was startled, knelt down and touched the ice layer with his hands, and asked in a daze, "Why is there still water on the ice layer? Why doesn't it freeze in such cold weather?"

The next moment, Su Yun raised his head to look in the direction he was walking, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is a volcano ahead?"

Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned. What are you kidding, there are volcanoes in the North Pole?
In order to confirm his guess, Su Yun took off the hat on his feet, shook off the water on it, and trotted forward.

While running, he said, "Why can't there be volcanoes in the North Pole?"

"There are volcanoes not only in the Arctic, but also in the Antarctic."

"Most of the volcanoes in the Arctic Circle are concentrated in Iceland, and Iceland is also known as the country of volcanoes, but there will be a small number scattered in other places. Maybe there is a volcano in front of us."

As he ran forward, the water on the ice surface became deeper and deeper, but it was not that deep, so it could only cover Su Yun's instep.

Three minutes later, Su Yun stepped on a small island with black soil, stood on tiptoes, and looked around, only to see that the surrounding area was bare, without any shadow of flowers, plants or trees.

Su Yun grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it next to his nose, frowned and said, "It's really a volcano."

"The soil has a smell of rust, and the soil color is also black, which is very in line with the standard of volcanic soil."

Stepping inside, Su Yun found the lukewarm ground very comfortable for his bare feet to step on, but it was just a little bit irritating.

Walking and looking all the way, there are no plants growing on the ground, and it is extremely desolate. In addition, the ground is black, and the air is filled with the smell of rust, just like the end of the world.

The temperature gets higher the further you go in, Su Yun is on a deserted island, and he has an illusion of being in spring.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Yun looked at the stream not far ahead. The stream seemed to divide the entire island into two, and then passed through the middle of the island, stretching to the edge of the snow.

Su Yun unloaded the backpack, and gently took out the bear cub and stuffed it into the backpack. The surrounding environment is very warm, which is very suitable for the cub to sleep.

Squatting beside the stream, looking at the hot air emanating from the surface of the stream, he picked up a stone and threw it into the water, only to hear a thump, and the stone in sight drifted out of the water and sank into the water and disappeared.

He stretched out his hand to test the temperature. It was not as hot as expected. It was around 20 degrees. Su Yun sat cross-legged on the shore, took off his shoes, and slowly stretched his feet into the water.

"Huh!" Su Yun let out a breath of relief. After walking for several days, the soles of his feet were a little sore and swollen. Now it's time to soak them in hot water.

The stream is bottomless, and the surface is still dark blue, but the more you look down, the darker it becomes. If the stream is removed, the middle between the two islands is no different from the abyss.

[Why do I always feel that this stream is so scary, it’s too deep]

【In my mind, there will always be an unknown creature biting the anchor's feet into the water, and then dragging them into the water. 】

"You are a typical deep-sea phobia, don't scare yourself." Su Yun comforted, this imagination is too rich.

Pausing, swinging his legs, looking at the layers of ripples, Su Yun said, "According to my analysis, this creek is a crater, and the islands on both sides are islands formed by magma erupted from the volcano."

"So, volcanoes are hidden under the sea."
