Chapter 378 Magical Rock

Of course, there are occasionally some tasks that require them to do it alone, but those tasks are in the minority.

Unexpectedly, Chu Nan's focus was not on why they acted together, but on why there was such a hot place in the snowy mountains, so he gave the task of telling this story to Kuang Yicong. After all, Kuang Yicong also went with them. .

Kuang Yicong scratched his head when he saw Fan Yanfeng looking at him. He was indeed good at telling stories, but he didn't know how to explain why there was such a hot place in the snowy mountains.

Chu Nan looked at Kuang Yicong and Fan Yanfeng's eyebrows, and wondered what they were doing. Seeing that they didn't speak, he stopped asking and walked forward with his head sullenly.

Fan Yanfeng thought Chu Nan was angry with them. After all, he couldn't see Chu Nan's face as he walked forward with his head covered.

He quickly walked a few steps to Chu Nan and explained to him why there was such a magical scene on the snow-capped mountains.

Originally, he didn't want to tell Chu Nan about this because it was considered a national secret.

He just thought that Chu Nan was their boss now, so it would be okay to tell Chu Nan about this.

And with Chu Nan's character, he shouldn't do anything detrimental to the country.

Chu Nan didn't expect that Fan Yanfeng would come to him again after a while and tell him stories about the snow-capped mountains.

But since Fan Yanfeng is willing to speak, he should be a quiet listener.

Just because he wanted to listen to the story, he no longer just rushed, but slowed down and listened carefully to Fan Yanfeng's words.

From Fan Yanfeng's narration, Chu Nan learned that the mission they did that time was very confidential, and only Fan Yanfeng was told the purpose of their trip. The others, including Yu Acer, were unknown.

It turns out that there is a magical rock in the snow mountain. This rock has a very magical ability, that is, it takes away all the heat in the surrounding air and concentrates it on itself.

The reason why snow-capped mountains remain cold all year round is because the rocks there take away all the surrounding heat.

After the rock takes away the heat, it will cause itself to be very hot.

That is what Yu Acer said before, if you put an egg on a rock, it will be cooked quickly.

Their mission that time was to take some rocks back to China, because some domestic scientific researchers planned to study this magical stone.

"Let me tell you, that mission was very mysterious. Boss, you brought such a big box with you. I was almost exhausted carrying that box all the way back."

"It just so happened that you didn't let us see what was in that box at that time."

After Fan Yanfeng finished telling Chu Nan, before Chu Nan expressed any opinions, Kuang Yicong started shouting.

"You can't keep your focus, it's been so many years." Fan Yanfeng rolled his eyes helplessly as he watched Kuang Yicong explode again.

Since joining the army and meeting Kuang Yicong, Fan Yanfeng has wondered more than once how did Kuang Yicong become a special soldier with such a frivolous temper?

"Okay, okay, he has this kind of character. Don't blame him. Anyway, you are not in the army now. You are free to follow me. You can show your true character in front of me at will."

Chu Nan stopped Fan Yanfeng from scolding Kuang Yicong.

"Then how did the fire-scaled snake come into being?" Then he changed the topic again and asked about the fire-scaled snake.

"Boss, you really want to eat that fire-scaled snake. It's such a precious rock. Why don't you just stare at a snake all day long?"

Kuang Yicong burst out laughing after hearing Chu Nan's words.

He had long been used to it. Fan Yanfeng would scold him from time to time, so when Fan Yanfeng was about to scold him again, he just pretended that he couldn't hear. Unexpectedly, Chu Nan stopped Fan Yanfeng.

Seeing that Fan Yanfeng was not reprimanding him, he was relieved. Fan Yanfeng was reprimanding him just like Tang Sanzang reciting sutras, which gave people a headache.

He was still very happy to not be scolded, but the next second he heard Chu Nan's words, he couldn't help but become happy.

"Isn't this as delicious as I heard from Yu Acer? I just want to try this kind of snake that I have never seen before."

Chu Nan also laughed.

He is still very self-aware and feels that it is impossible for him to do anything to benefit the country. He will definitely not stick to the rock.

After all, the country has been involved in the study of rocks. It would not be good or authentic to intervene on your own.

He is only interested in that kind of magical snake now. After all, snakes that can withstand high temperatures are not sure how delicious they are.

"Boss, if you are interested in that snake, I can tell you a good story." Seeing that Chu Nan really wanted to know about the fire-scaled snake, Kuang Yicong used his storytelling ability and gushed. He kept talking about the fire-scaled snake.

Chu Nan listened to Kuang Yicong's story as he walked, and soon he learned about the fire-scaled snake.

When they left the place where the fire spirits lived, they thought the fire-scale snakes were delicious, so they brought a few fire-scale snakes back.

These fire-scaled snakes were finally handed over to experts for study. Expert research showed that the fire-scaled snake itself was an ordinary snake, but it was unknown when it mutated and became able to withstand high temperatures.

It is just that the fire-scaled snake mutation does not only have this one function, but also has many characteristics different from ordinary snakes. For example, anyone bitten by a fire-scaled snake will be infected with a kind of fire poison, which can only be driven away by ice.

Another reason is that because it contains fire elements in its body, its meat is different from other snakes. It has a heat property. People who eat this kind of snake will not feel cold even in the cold winter, but will feel that their whole body is full of heat.

Of course, this fire element is not the fire element mentioned by the cultivators, but a term used by experts to metaphorically describe it.

Then there is that ordinary snakes will enter a dormant state when they come to cold areas, but the fire-scaled snake will not. It will use its own ability to create a warm environment for itself to live in.

However, the experts also said that even if it has such an ability, it will not be of much use, because the fire-scaled snake will die if it stays in a cold place for a long time.

So the fire-scaled snake generally does not go to cold places unless something unexpected happens.

Just. It's like the fire-scale snake brought back by Yu Hongqi and others, which was thrown into a cold storage by experts, and when it was finally taken out, it turned into a hard snake corpse.
