After digging down like a staircase, I discovered that the sand is just like in the game. It will fall without support.
So digging the hole diagonally is useless.
I originally thought that the sand under my feet was so dense that it wouldn't be like in the game.
He had no choice but to dig vertically downwards. At least the surrounding sand would not be squeezed into the middle. When he used the tool to dig out sand blocks, the surrounding areas would also become sandbox characteristics.
As for the top hole, sand will definitely slide down and hit you, so I used wood to make a simple wooden hatch.
After digging about twenty squares, when the sand blocks under his feet were no longer squares of sand but hard sandstone, Renn finally stopped digging and looked up at the entrance of the cave, which was already quite far away, hoping that the sand wolves could not find him.
The howling of the wolves was getting closer and closer, and right near the entrance of the cave, I could clearly hear their footsteps and even the sound of their claws scratching the door.
Ren was very nervous and held his breath and did not dare to make any sound.
It’s not that he is a coward. If there are abundant resources and enough materials to make weapons and equipment, you can set up traps. In fact, it is also possible to fight these beasts head-on.
The problem is, I have nothing now, and there is really nothing I can do with the few materials I have.
The sand wolf lingered overhead for a long time and finally left after three hours.
When the howling of the wolf and the sound of footsteps became farther and farther away, Ren didn't dare to go out directly. He still hid in the cave and waited quietly.
Sure enough, half an hour later there was the sound of sand wolves wandering above again, but they did not give up.
So I decided to stay underground until it was safe.
There is cactus meat to eat, which can satisfy hunger and thirst to a small extent. People are tired anyway, so they might as well take the opportunity to rest and refresh themselves.
The sand wolf lingered around the spot where Ren had dug his hole until midnight. Having no choice but to leave, the sand wolf finally left.
Ren slept underground until dawn, feeling that it was very quiet up there, so he used the sand cubes stored in the virtual backpack to step on his feet, kept jumping back to the entrance of the cave, carefully opened the wooden hatch whose durability had been reduced by half, and looked around.
.
For safety reasons, I also opened the virtual map and checked whether there were any hostile red dots around.
Experiencing the threats of sandworms and sand wolves made him more cautious, knowing that this was not a game and he could lose his life if he was not careful.
The wolves have really left, at least not nearby.
I confirmed through the virtual map that I had opened three areas, namely the Sea of Despair, the Sandworm Territory and the Desert Wolf Lair.
The sandworm territory is in the east of the Desert of Despair, and the desert wolf's nest is in the north of the Desert of Despair. I happen to be at the junction of the three areas, and I accidentally ran here after being chased by the sandworm yesterday.
If you want to leave the desert, you must follow the system instructions to go east.
But he didn't want to enter the sandworm territory again. It was too scary there, and the terrifying giant sandworms might emerge from the ground at any time.
You can't stay in the wolf den in the desert. If the wolves come again, you won't be able to leave.
You can only go east from the Desert Wolf Lair area, towards the dark area north of the sandworm territory, praying that it will be safer here.
Come out of the cave, recover the wooden hatch, and run away before the sand wolf appears.
After walking all the way east for almost two hours, we finally entered a new area.
[System] You enter the source of thorns!
I saw a small number of sea buckthorn trees in the distance, which was slightly greener than where I am now.
Ren quickened his pace, and the further he walked, the more sea buckthorn trees he found.
We even saw animals running in the trees from a distance.
Rabbits, lizards, gerbils, elephants, and some unknown birds.
The gathering of so many animals indicates that there must be a water source near the seabuckthorn forest, and this may be a desert oasis!
Of course, in addition to these animals that can be seen, there may be other dangerous predators nearby, such as the desert wolves seen before.
Another good news is that the terrain of the Sea Buckthorn Forest is slightly different from that of the Sea of Despair. Although it is still rare, you can find real stones here.
If you have stones, you can make stone knives.
With a stone knife, you can make basic self-defense weapons such as stone spears and stone arrows, as well as other basic props.
Renn picked up all the stones he saw on the road and stored them in his virtual backpack.
Two stones can be used to make stone knives for cutting things, or stone ax parts for chopping, stone pickaxe parts for mining, stone shovel parts for mining, stone hoe parts for farming, etc. Adding branches and ropes can make stone axes, stone
Pickaxe, stone shovel and stone hoe.
Of course, just one component can be used, but the efficiency is lower.
Renn first took out two stones and made a stone knife first.
In fact, two stones are turned into the most basic stone tools through knocking. Renn has a systematic manufacturing function, and there is no need to master the actual stone tool manufacturing technology. As long as the production progress bar is full, it can be completed automatically.
After making the stone knife, take out a long branch from the virtual backpack and process it with the stone knife to make it into a wooden spear to obtain the most basic self-defense weapon.
Then take out another long branch, twist 5 pieces of linen cloth into a linen rope, and directly synthesize a simple wooden bow.
Then use stone knives and twigs to make some basic wooden arrows. Both long-range and melee weapons are available. They may not be able to defeat fierce beasts, but they also have some resistance.
They can also hunt small animals for food.
Hanging the wooden bow on his body, Ren entered the seabuckthorn forest with a wooden spear in hand. Pay attention to the surrounding environment and be wary of predators. At the same time, he used a wooden ax to chop down to obtain more wood, branches and seabuckthorn seeds.
With good luck, I also got a lot of sea buckthorn fruits during the cutting process, which can be eaten directly.
The sea buckthorn fruits were so sour that Ren only tasted them briefly and considered using them as a condiment.
Collect some materials, wait until the wooden ax is damaged, and then continue looking for water.
It is not difficult to find water sources by following the movements of most animals.
In this hot desert area, animals also need to drink water constantly.
After a long journey, under the guidance of the animals, Ren finally found a waterhole near the seabuckthorn forest.
The pool is not very big and the water inside is very turbid, but it is a place where all the animals gather.
At a higher position, Renne observed from a high position and found that in addition to a large number of herbivores near the waterhole, there were also lions, wolves, and wild dogs. The most terrifying thing was that there were two at least five meters long animals in the waterhole.
The huge crocodile swims back and forth.
Good guy!
This desert oasis is also extremely dangerous and terrifying!
Even so, Ren had to go get water.
He needs to take in water, and cactus meat alone cannot meet his needs. He has to drink enough water if he doesn't want to die of thirst. He has to get water in front of these animals!
But don't be reckless, you must pay attention to the dynamics of lions, wolves and wild dogs, stay away from them, and do not enter their hunting range.
Also be careful of the two huge crocodiles, they can easily swallow you with their wide mouths.
The most important thing is to build temporary settlements nearby before dark.
The terrain here is all sandstone, so digging a basement is not a problem.
