In the quiet morning, there are animals all around the waterhole, trying hard to absorb water.
"Boom!" The sound of collapsing trees in the distance scared them and raised their heads on alert, even though they had heard this sound countless times.
When the sound disappeared, they continued to drink with their heads down.
On the other side, Ren was holding a wooden ax and collecting fallen logs, long branches, twigs, and sea buckthorn fruits into his virtual backpack.
The virtual backpack has been filled with resources. A total of 65 sea buckthorn trees have been cut down, and nearly 200 logs, more than 500 long branches, more than 800 small branches, and more than 300 sea buckthorn fruits have been obtained.
Originally, there were sea buckthorn trees near the temporary residence, but now they are empty.
If the virtual backpack resource storage hadn't reached 90%, Ren wouldn't have stopped chopping easily. Anyway, the wooden ax can be made infinitely, and there is no shortage of wood.
The remaining 10% of space must be reserved for other supplies.
The basic backpack capacity is actually quite large. A normal player will not collect enough logs to build several cabins in one go. He is used to it.
The logs in this backpack were enough for him to make countless wooden tools and build many temporary cabins on the way out of the desert, although he still preferred to dig holes in the ground.
Long branches and small branches allow him to make unlimited wooden spears and wooden arrows. Even if he does not leave the desert for a month, more than 300 sea buckthorn fruits are enough for him to last for a long time.
We made a bonfire to keep warm on the road and had enough cooking materials. The next thing to consider was more food and water.
He wants to hunt the animals near the waterhole and get their meat and fur.
While getting food, the skin can be made into more kettles.
By the way, you can upgrade by hunting animals to slightly increase your strength, increase the upper limit of your backpack, and allow you to carry more resources.
Take as much food as possible from this oasis until the head wound is fully healed.
There are more than a hundred sea buckthorn seeds in the backpack. Go back to the entrance of the cave and look around. It is too empty and there is no concealment. If a dangerous animal approaches, you can find yourself in an instant.
Although these more than one hundred sea buckthorn seeds only occupy one grid, it would be good to free them up.
Simply plant them near the hole and directly surround it.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, and immediately plant all the sea buckthorn seeds in your backpack very regularly around the hole, forming a standard giant circle.
A one-meter-wide path is left at the exit of the hole leading to the water pool, and enough space is left between each tree species so that when they grow large enough, they can be adjacent to each other and form a natural barrier.
Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will feel particularly comfortable when they see this layout, because it is symmetrical from front to back, left and right.
After planting, each small soil bag indicates the need for watering.
Renn used the clear water stored in the crocodile skin kettle to water it. Although he could directly take the turbid water from the pool, he didn't have extra containers. Anyway, he could refill the water for cooking after using it, so it was not troublesome.
After everything was watered, more than a hundred sea buckthorn seedlings emerged from the small soil bags. As long as Ren's eyes fell on these seedlings, he could see their growth time.
It only takes 24 hours for a seedling to grow into a sea buckthorn tree, because the plants planted by Renn are calculated based on game time, not reality.
In reality, it takes at least three to five years for a sea buckthorn tree to grow and bear fruit.
Moreover, these sea buckthorn seedlings can reduce the time required for growth through fertilization.
However, in a desert where resources are scarce, even if Renn has enough materials to make a fertilizer box, he will not waste precious food and time making fertilizer.
24 hours is already very fast!
It does not mean that the sapling will directly grow into a big tree within this period of time. In fact, the sapling can grow very tall within a few hours and play a certain protective role.
Ren was not in a hurry to hunt. Before setting off, he practiced archery in a nearby open space.
He placed a log upright in the open space as an arrow target, drew his bow and nocked an arrow from a distance, and shot again and again.
After all, I had never played with a bow and arrow before traveling through time, so I was very unfamiliar with it.
It was also good luck to shoot the crocodile from the front, and it was almost close to the face, so the shot almost missed.
He had to be familiar with the wooden bow in his hand and the shooting arc of wooden arrows to ensure that he was accurate enough when shooting.
After practicing for nearly an hour, it was difficult for the arrows to hit the logs at first. Once I became familiar with the feel of the wooden bow and understood the flight path of the wooden arrows, the probability of hitting the logs became greater. I could hit six out of ten arrows.
If you think it's almost the same, you can continue to practice during hunting to improve your accuracy.
So he set out with wooden spears and bows and arrows, and quietly arrived near the waterhole.
After two large crocodiles were killed in the water pool, the animals were not threatened, and the number of people coming to drink water increased sharply, regardless of their size, making it extremely lively.
Ren tried his best to be careful and slowly approached the waterhole. He observed the nearest group of rabbits and felt that they were still a little far away, so he tried to move forward.
Unexpectedly, the group of rabbits by the pool ran away when they heard the noise and disappeared soon.
It seems that these animals are very wary and extremely difficult to approach.
I also tried to get close to gerbils and a bird called a blue-feathered bird, but they ran away before they could get into range.
This gave Ren a headache. The range of the basic wooden bow was limited. Beyond the distance, the accuracy and power would be reduced, and the chance of successful hunting would be reduced.
The animals are so vigilant that they do not allow themselves to enter the range of the wooden bow, which is quite troublesome.
Looking at the animals all running to the other side of the pool, I could only squat there and think carefully.
After much deliberation, there was only one way.
Create a bunker, hide in it so that animals can't see you, and when they get close to the bunker, you can sneak attack from inside!
Making a bunker is very simple. At a higher point near the waterhole, use sandstone to directly surround a three-by-three matchbox, facing the waterhole, with one less block in the middle to serve as a window and shooting port.
One meter of sandstone is enough for Wren to hide himself.
Place more sea buckthorn branches around the bunker to increase concealment.
After the completion, Ren sat inside the bunker and tried not to make any noise, not even using his head to observe.
Even if you are lying inside the bunker, you can check the green animal icons on the virtual map and control their movement range at any time.
Hunting requires patience. Anyway, the bunker can isolate Ren from the sun and there is enough water, so there is no need to worry.
After lying there for almost forty minutes, an animal finally came nearby and cautiously approached the water source.
The bunker is not far from the water source, and the wind direction is not bad, so animals will not smell his scent.
I squatted quietly and looked around, and sure enough I saw a group of rabbits drinking water.
This distance was even closer, so Ren was very confident, so he quickly set up his bow and arrow, and quietly took aim from the window.
"Whoops!" The arrow shot out quickly and penetrated a rabbit instantly, killing it on the spot.
The other rabbits were so frightened that they ran away and disappeared quickly.
[System] You kill the rabbit and get 10 experience points!
"Yes!" Ren immediately opened the door and rushed out of the bunker, took out the stone knife and collected the rabbit carcass on the spot.
