Chapter 332 Survival
At night, the campfire was just three hundred meters away from the green space. The green space was recovering, and it was not fast. At this speed, it would probably take seven or eight days to level it. This is not over, because it is just flat, without grass, and no animals. At present, the tree spirit has recovered two eagles, and there are still some fish in the lake water that has turned into a small pool, and it is necessary to start slowly raising it.
From this point of view, the tree spirit has failed, but they have a lot of time and are bored anyway. So they sort it out slowly, just like playing a stand-alone game. It’s quite interesting to occasionally make trouble with NPC.
Cui Ming was not happy here because the three of them had only one unwashed firebird intestine left. Cui Ming and Mi Xiaonan looked at it for a long time and couldn't bear it. They would rather be hungry. Ding Wen enjoyed it rudely. Before enjoying it, she cut open the intestines, scraped them as clean as possible with a knife, then baked them and then ate them. What does it smell when the poop is hot? In fact, it is not that bad.
Cui Ming and Mi Xiaonan ate a little poisonous wood fruit. In the early morning, their stomachs and intestines were overwhelmed. What was strange was that they only vomited but did not recover until the early morning. The two were not meant to be cheap, but actually experimented with the possibility that Ding Wen said that the poisonous wood fruit and the shady bird could be eaten. The conclusion was that there was no possibility, and they would rather not eat it. They would rather eat Ding Wen than the poisonous wood fruit.
The next morning, the tree spirit had no intention of providing food, so he only had two eagles to provide. The rabbit had a litter of it, and it was protected by the tree spirit in the tree before it started fighting. It was six bastards and there were not a few pieces of meat. Even if the tree spirit gave it, Cui Ming didn't want it. Not only did he not say that he could not feed it, he also had to kill six little rabbits to take his life, and he had to peel and cut the meat.
Then what should I eat?
You can only hunt from a distance. One option is to face north, with swamps in the direction of coming, crocodiles and fish there. One option is to leave the sphere of influence of the tree spirit, and you can find small pieces of green space, and you will have fruits to eat and insects to eat. The other option is to go to the highest peak and kill two firebirds.
These three choices are not good because they are too far away. Go alone and according to the terrain, you can travel at least four days back and forth.
The next morning meeting, everyone had no results in the discussion. Cui Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Just eat Sharjah."
Ding Wen's last intestines spurted out.
Mi Xiaonandao: "We are now trapping ourselves as good people. We should camp at the highest peak, replenish food and water, and then return to the green space with Sharjah."
Cui Ming looked at the tree spirit not far away and said, "People have a lucky mentality, and trees also have a lucky mentality. He is waiting for us to starve to death. We must be able to survive. Ding Wen, if there is any food nearby, we will choose the same one that is not that miserable."
"There are only shady birds. The meat of shady birds is not easy to process and is still toxic after being cooked. Eating one is equivalent to the consequences of eating the fruit yesterday. The plants are only toxic wood fruits, big and sweet, ripe all seasons and delicious, but you have experienced the consequences."
Cui Ming said: "You remember that girl Sharjah can eat poisonous wood fruits, right?"
Mi Xiaonan and Ding Wen recalled and nodded. It was indeed the case. Although they didn’t see Sharjah eating, Sharjah was indeed cooking the poisonous wood fruit. Ding Wen said: “In other words, Sharjah has a way to remove the toxicity of the fruit.”
Mi Xiaonandao: "Then we can wait for her to come."
Cui Ming said: "She is an air magician and she should arrive in two days. I was worried that the tree spirit would cause damage, so she delayed it for three or five days. We died and waited for three or five days. Then she came to collect our bodies and chose a cemetery for herself. No, the food problem must be solved. If it really doesn't work, we cut a piece of meat and cooked soup by the way, and then the Force repaired the wound."
"..." Ding Wen and Mi Xiaonan looked at each other and ignored Cui Ming's last words.
Ding Wen said: "Sharjah can cook poisonous wood fruits and survive in Zu'an for many years. This shows that the materials she uses are similar to all the materials in our environment, but she has unique features in processing. Judging from the current situation, I suggest that we start to process poisonous wood fruits, and then line up to try it in turn. Everyone chooses a cooking method and then test their own results. If we can find a method, we will not worry about food outside the third ring road of Zu'an."
Cui Ming closed his eyes: "Wait first, let's recall what the environment was in Sharjah at that time. Is there a fruit peel? If so, it means the peel was peeled off. Are there any fruit seeds?"
Mi Xiaonandao: "When I was a child, I heard from the old man that fruits were divided into two types, but many fruits had a characteristic: when the skin was cold, the flesh was hot, and when the seeds were cold, the flesh was hot. Can the skin, fruit, and seeds be neutralized by two types of materials? "
Cui Ming said: "The flesh must be needed, so let's test the peel first, and then test the seeds."
Ding Wen asked: "Shouldn't we consider it from the cooking methods? For example, whether it is marinated, what is marinated? How long does it take to cook, whether to drain water, etc.?"
"One person, we should not eat too much, just one bite." Cui Ming said: "Let's move down the camp, the tree spirits here are watching, so as not to make people laugh to death." He still wants his face, and he knows that you are in this situation, so he didn't make things difficult for Sharjah, but now he's in a difficult position on the way. Although it's not enough to turn against one's promise, it's true that he has many scheming.
...
The three moved the camp to the mountainside, which was only five hundred meters away from the green space. Large areas of poisonous wood, poisonous wood and birch trees were very close to each slender body, but the color was black. The fruit size was close to pomegranate, the outer layer was red with dragon fruit and the inside was light yellow with apples. There were three to four seeds the size of watermelon seeds in the center of each fruit.
The first attempt was Mi Xiaonan's peel and flesh. When cooking, Cui Ming asked Ding Wen: "Does there not even poisonous wood within the three rings?"
"It can be called a Jedi within the Third Ring Road. From the airship photos, you can see that it is a black rock with a very large area and a large drop height. The terrain is quite next to the desert, with very little water, and even poisonous water. In addition, the soil layer is at the bottom of large and small stones, so poisonous wood cannot survive here. From the Third Ring Road to the Second Ring Road, there is no water, dryness, and there is not even wind. There are many risks in it. First of all, I feel very desperate, and secondly, food, no water supply, and there is no material for burning fire. Then because of the large area, the land color is single, the drop is huge, and there is no reference, it is easy to get lost. I brought supplies to cross the Third Ring Road. The Second Ring Road is really not good, it is too bad, just like the canyon terrain of Shuangqiao City, no animals and plants were found."
Cui Ming said: "If Vick was going to live in seclusion, the Dawn Empire was very interested in Vick's research. Over the years, many spies must have been sent to Zuan to find Vick. Do you think Vick would live in seclusion on the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road?"
While eating the food he made, Mi Xiaonan asked, "What is Yihuan?"
"Yihuan is very strange. Judging from the photos, there is a lake in the center, which is very beautiful and clean. It is surrounded by redwood forests. According to speculation, the surrounding area should be low-lying or swampy areas, and the color is normal, and no black soil or plants are found. According to principles, the living environment of Yihuan should be very good, but from thousands of photos, no animals were found. Fireflies were seen at night, but no animals were seen." Ding Wen said: "According to the speculation of the people of the Shuguang Empire, there may be very terrible creatures in the Yihuan."
Mi Xiaonan asked: "Bilong is terrible?"
Ding Wen shook her head: "I don't know, the Dawn Empire originally had an expedition plan, which descended from the First Ring Road to Zu'an, but for some reasons, the expedition plan was cancelled."
Mi Xiaonan wanted to ask something, but she felt her stomach tumbling and vomited on the side!
Next, Cui Ming experimented, Cui Ming was more attentive this time, not just boiling the fruits. Because Cui Ming felt that there seemed to be more things in the pot, what was more? According to Cui Ming's memory, it should be something extra to the fruit. Cui Ming inferred that it was basically impossible to dig the rhizomes of poisonous wood, but it was still possible to pick leaves. So Cui Ming picked a lot of poisonous wood leaves and mixed them with the fruits to cook them.
As expected, Cui Ming was also caught. Fortunately, it was because of the experiment. He ate less and had no problem. In the camp, Ding Wen started boiling water. This was a special distillation tool. He put water in a container, sealed the container, stuffed the plastic cloth into the container, and placed one end in another container. The water in the container boiled and produced steam. When the plastic cloth condensed into water droplets, the other container was at a low place, and the water flowed along the other container. The most important method was sealing. As long as it was guaranteed to be quite sealed, the water collected would not be less.
After all, it is a professional tool. Considering various possibilities, water is not a problem as long as there is toxic water and fire. However, food is still a huge trouble. Inspired by Cui Ming, the three of them took turns to use leaves to start debugging, but by the evening of the next day, there was still no result.
Cui Ming suggested: "Let's eat belts." I remember seeing such a story.
Ding Wen denied it in one bite: "No, modern belts have many chemicals. Even pure cowhide, fresh pure cowhide, without adding any chemicals, they cannot bite them at all. The calories consumed by collecting the firewood needed to cook it are far greater than the calories that can be replenished. Don't ask me how I know." Painful memories.
Cui Ming asked: "Is there no food?"
Ding Wen said: "Yes, there is a food source. I didn't want to say it, but it seems that it won't work."
"What?"
"Bird egg."
"Black-Dream Bird's Egg?"
"Yes." Ding Wen said: "The dark bird lays six eggs at a time, but looking for the dark bird eggs depends on luck. The bird nests are all on the top of the poisonous wood. If you have bad luck, you may not be able to find a nest for a day. If you have good luck, you will be different. In addition, the dark bird has a characteristic, one nest of eggs per nest, which leads to an empty bird nest on the poisonous wood. This method is to bump into the great fortune. The eggs are only the size of a quail egg. To provide the food for the three of us a day, you need to find at least fifty nests."
