Chapter 488, Ice and Fire Island

After interrogation, it was learned that the captives that Wu Qing and the others had captured from the nameless island came from a place called the Ice and Fire Continent.

There are two sacred mountains on the Ice and Fire Continent, one is the Flame Mountain and the other is the Ice and Snow Mountain.

The Flame Mountain has extremely high temperatures, and there is no grass around it, so ordinary creatures can't get close to it at all.

The ice and snow mountains are extremely cold, and people with non-special constitutions will be frozen immediately as long as they get close.

There are two races living on the Ice and Fire Continent, namely the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Ice Phoenix Clan.

The Fire Phoenix people live in an area centered on the Flame Mountain, while the Ice Phoenix people settle around the Ice and Snow Mountain.

On the Continent of Fire and Ice grows a kind of Chill Iron Tree, which is so hard that it can only be cut down with tools made of Flame Iron from the Flame Mountain, and the fishing boats that merfolk warriors can't chisel are made of Chill Ironwood.

And because of the high temperature of the Yan Iron, only the Fire Phoenix Clan can hold it, so on the Ice and Fire Continent, only the Fire Phoenix Clan has the ability to build ships and go to sea, and the Ice Phoenix Clan can only stay on land honestly because they can't find trees suitable for shipbuilding.

Wu Qing and the few captives they captured were all from the Fire Phoenix Clan, and they were exiled to the sea because of their failure in the struggle for power within the clan, leaving them to fend for themselves.

And a few of them were lucky, drifted to that nameless island, so they were lucky to survive.

When Ning Yuan learned that the Condor Navy had captured the Fire Phoenix Clan on the island and captured the invulnerable fishing boats, he immediately had the captives and fishing boats transported to the Liaodong Peninsula.

After personally holding the axe and slashing for a long time, but still unable to cut the wood, Ning Yuan immediately became interested in this Ice and Fire Continent, which was rich in cold iron trees.

So he took Huo Liaoyuan, the patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan of the Condor Empire, to interrogate those captives again.

After feeling the breath of the same clan from the Fire Liaoyuan, those Fire Phoenix Clansmen immediately relaxed, and after receiving Ning Yuan's promise to allow them to join the Fire Phoenix Clan of the Condor Empire, they spit out a lot of useful things one after another.

The so-called Ice and Fire Continent is a giant island located in the East China Sea in Ning Yuan's opinion, so it should be called Ice and Fire Island.

According to those Fire Phoenix people, there is no unified government on Ice and Fire Island now, and most people live on the island as a tribe.

Because of the relationship between the two sacred mountains, the temperature on the side of the Flame Mountain is slightly higher, and although there is no grass near the Flame Mountain, there are dense cold iron forests growing in other places.

The side with the snowy mountains is similar, and there are dense cold iron forests everywhere.

On the Island of Ice and Fire, because of the strength of the Iron Tree, there are no other large trees on the island except for the Iron Tree.

Although the trunk of the tree is as hard as iron, its fruit is very soft and sweet.

The Cold Iron Tree can bloom and bear fruit all year round, and its fruit is an important source of food for all living beings on the Isle of Fire and Ice.

Whether it is the Fire Phoenix Clan or the Ice Phoenix Clan, they all survive by relying on ironwood nuts and hunting some animals on the island.

Probably because of the relationship between the physique and the two sacred mountains, the two clans on the Ice and Fire Island are naturally not at odds with each other, and they often fight over the cold iron forests on the island.

The Flame Iron produced by the Flaming Mountains is red in color and contains scorching heat, and all the plants on the island can be dried and ignited by the Iron Tree.

During the dry season, a fire can cause a fire that burns down the rest of the island's ironclad trees.

Because the destructive power of the Yan Iron is so strong, the Fire Phoenix people generally store the weapons and tools of the Yan Iron in vessels made of cold iron wood.

Unlike the Flaming Mountain, the Ice Mountain is rich in cold iron, which is extremely cold, and if you put the cold iron in the bucket, the water in the bucket will freeze immediately after a while, and only the utensils made of cold iron wood can isolate its own low temperature.

Whether it is hot iron or cold iron, their melting points are very high, and ordinary flames can't melt them at all, so another part of the island is extremely important.

In the middle of the Flaming Mountain and the Ice Mountain, in the center of the Ice and Fire Island, there is a natural group of Earth Fire Pits.

Although the fire pit has no temperature on the surface, whether it is hot iron or cold iron, it can be melted by the fire of the earth, and all the weapons and tools of the two clans are created in the fire pit.

There are two things that are most important on the island of ice and fire, one is the cold iron forest that can bloom and bear fruit in all seasons, and the other is the earth fire pit group that can be used to craft weapons, so the two clans have been fighting for a long time around these two things.

Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and this relationship also exists on the island of ice and fire.

Although the Cold Iron Tree is not afraid of the high temperature of the Burning Iron, it can be cut down by the weapons caused by the Burning Iron, so in theory, the Burning Iron Tree restrains the Burning Iron Tree.

So such a chain of restraint was formed on the island: the Yan Iron Weapon restrained the Cold Iron Tree, the Cold Iron Tree restrained the Ice Phoenix Clan, the Cold Iron Weapon restrained the Yan Iron Weapon, and the Ice Phoenix Clan restrained the Fire Phoenix Clan.

To sum up, the Fire Phoenix Clan restrained the Cold Iron Tree, the Cold Iron Tree restrained the Ice Phoenix Clan, and the Ice Phoenix Clan restrained the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Why did you say that the Cold Iron Tree restrained the Ice Phoenix Clan?

The main reason is that the Ice Phoenix Clan has no way to take the Cold Iron Tree, but wherever the Cold Iron Tree takes root, they must take the initiative to avoid it.

Although the restraint relationship between the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Ice Phoenix Clan was not absolute, they did lose more than they won in the battle with the Ice Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, in order to stop the advance of the Ice Phoenix Clan, they took advantage of this weakness of the Ice Phoenix Clan to plant a large number of cold iron trees on the Ice and Fire Island.

Although the Cold Iron Tree will bring a lot of food to the Ice Phoenix Clan, it will also compete with them for the necessary living space.

Faced with the dense cold iron forest, the Ice Phoenix people were helpless, so they could only practice a scattered way of living, or simply go to rob the Fire Phoenix tribe of their residence.

And once the Ice Phoenix Clan dispersed, the Fire Phoenix Clan had a chance to defeat each of them.

In this way, the Fire Phoenix Clan used the Cold Iron Tree to successfully make it impossible for the various tribes of the Ice Phoenix Clan to gather together, and a delicate balance relationship was maintained between the two sides.

The current situation on Ice and Fire Island is that the Ice Phoenix Clan is strictly guarding their own one-third of an acre of land to prevent the Fire Phoenix Clan, who love to plant trees, from sneaking over to plant trees.

And the Fire Phoenix people will plant the tree species they carry with them on the open space they find whenever they have the opportunity.

The current Ice and Fire Island, except for the area where the two sacred mountains and the Earth Fire Pit Group are located, is full of dense cold iron forests, and if you are not familiar with the road, you will be completely lost if you are not careful.
