Zhen Jin issued orders one after another, and whether it was Yellow Algae, Blue Algae, Bai Ya, Cang Xu and others, they all accepted the order with dignity.
But Zhen Jin looked around and still saw the flickering eyes of the exploration team members.
Zhen Jin shouted: "Now, if anyone has a different idea, put it forward immediately! The Templars will never punish anyone who dares to speak out."
No one spoke, and a few people opened their mouths but stopped talking.
Zhen Jin's face darkened slightly.
He knew that he still had not established enough leadership authority.
Cang Xu spoke at the right time: "Sir, your decision is undoubtedly wise. Although the flying squirrel leaders can produce electric shocks that can kill people, their numbers are very rare. Your master's archery skills and flying daggers have always been perfect!"
"In the past period of time, we have encountered many herds of animals. Apart from the sheep, this group of flying squirrels is the weakest. If we give up, I am afraid we will not have such good luck that we can encounter more powerful animals.
The flying squirrel swarm is a more suitable target."
"The following suggestion is: We can work hard to come up with tactics. Correct tactics can make it easier for us to defeat these stupid flying squirrels. After all, the human brain is much smarter than the beasts."
"Very good." Zhenjin nodded, with a look of approval on his face, "Scholar Cangxu, your opinion is very pertinent. In fact, we just need to obtain enough food. We can attract flying squirrels in batches and control the scale of the battle.
As long as you hunt enough food, you don't have to fight head-on with the flying squirrel leader."
The words "Acupuncture" are actually a bit taken for granted.
It is difficult to fathom the nature of animals, especially since everyone is unfamiliar with these flying squirrels and their contact time is very short. On this island, life like flying squirrels have strong traces of man-made creation and are not natural creations. Therefore, habits and so on
It's really hard to say.
Whether it’s Zhenjin or Cangxu, they all know these principles.
But after this deliberate conversation, everyone was no longer as shaken as before, some people's eyes became firm again, and their morale increased to a certain extent.
Zhenjin's prestige has not been established, and Cangxu's combat power is very weak, but the combined influence of the two can still mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire exploration team.
Zhenjin became more and more satisfied with Cangxu.
He commented secretly in his heart: "Cang Xu knows how to cooperate with me. Perhaps, this is where he is better than Zidi."
"Although Zidi is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, she is still too young after all. She mainly devotes her energy and time to magic practice."
"Although Cang Xu has no power, he has served the nobles for half his life and has rich experience. He has been assisting me in controlling this exploration team."
After breakfast, everyone got into action quickly.
This place is a forest landform, and everywhere you look you can see trees.
To make a short bow, you need suitable wood.
"We need two kinds of wood now, one kind of wood is used to make the arm of the short bow, and the other kind of wood we only choose the bark to make the bow string. How to choose, I don't know, we still need to see Bai Ya and Master Cang Xu
"Yes." Huang Zao looked at Cang Xu and Bai Ya.
The old scholar smiled: "Although this island is full of weird mutant beasts, there are relatively few mutated trees and grass. I think these types of trees are our targets."
Bai Ya said: "Master Huang Zao, my father and I also cut down forest trees and made our own hunting bows. I took a cursory look and found that this kind of tree is closest to my memory."
Combining Bai Ya's experience, Cang Xu's knowledge, and Huang Zao's practical experience in chopping trees by himself, the three of them successfully settled on two types of trees.
Then the yellow algae started to chop down the trees.
After all, he is a bronze-level warrior, and his strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.
The blade from the Blade Spider was extremely sharp. Once the blade was struck, the trees slowly tilted and then fell to the ground.
Bai Ya stepped forward, cut into the trunk of the tree with the blade, and then skillfully pried open a piece of bark. The bark was black and green, and the appearance was very hard, but when Bai Ya turned the bark over, he saw the tree
Inner layer of skin.
The inner bark of the tree is yellow-green. When Bai Ya touched it, his fingers felt a slippery feeling.
He nodded slightly and commented: "This inner layer of bark should be able to make high-quality hemp rope."
The three of them chose the big tree again.
This tree is much stronger than the one cut down before.
Huang Zao drew out the sharp blade lent by Zhenjin and was about to take action.
Cang Xu stopped him: "Don't use such a sharp weapon, use an axe. Only extraordinary people can exert its real power with this kind of sharp weapon. Ordinary people still use axes to cut wood."
The yellow algae follows the good example and chooses an ax to chop down the tree trunk.
Iron swords tend to have sharp edges when used to cut wood. People would not do this unless absolutely necessary.
The exploration team brought several axes. Originally, they were mainly used to facilitate the collection of food, such as bananas, coconuts, etc. Secondly, they were used to cut down a road. If a stable food source is found, it is very convenient to have a convenient road.
.
Huang Zao waved his thick arm and chopped a dozen times before cutting a gap in the trunk.
"If I could use fighting spirit, I could chop down this damn tree with just one axe!" Huang Zao muttered, not very satisfied with his performance.
Although Bronze-level Dou Qi cannot be attached to weapons or cover the body surface, it can give a person a great temporary increase in physical fitness after being activated. Depending on the different Dou Qi techniques, the practitioner will be stronger in strength, speed, and endurance.
, the improvement of resilience and other aspects will also be focused on.
After a few more cuts, the gap in the trunk finally widened to the point of qualitative change.
The yellow algae changed direction and pushed the trunk hard, knocking the big tree down.
Then, he swung the ax to chop and cut out a section of the trunk, then took the core and cut it into wooden boards.
After seeing the long wooden board, Bai Ya and Cang Xu were both very satisfied.
Cang Xu asked Huang Zao to bend the wooden board deliberately, and the toughness of the wooden board was very good.
The three of them were happy and things were going very smoothly.
"Let's go back and report to Master Zhenjin that it's time to bring people to cut down these trees." Cang Xu made a decision.
The location of the three of them is near the camp. The area has been cleared long ago and is relatively safe.
Soon, the three of them returned to the camp.
Zhenjin sits in the camp and leads the overall situation.
After learning the results of the three people, Zhen Jin thought for a while and asked Cang Xu: "How many people do you think is appropriate, and how long will it take for us to get enough wood?"
Cang Xu had obviously thought about it on the way back, and immediately replied: "Of course, the more manpower the better, but sir, there are a few things we need to pay attention to at the moment."
"The first is the safety of the logging team. Generally, when logging in relatively dangerous wild areas, patrols and escorts will be deployed. Although the exploration team members are all warriors, their physical strength is limited. Logging is a very physical job, and they will
It makes people exhausted, and as a result, their combat effectiveness will be reduced a lot. If a danger really arises, it will be difficult for the logging team members to resist it."
"The second thing is food. I suggest you deploy some people and try to collect food around. The harvest will definitely not be much, but our food reserves have reached the warning line. Even if there is only a little more food, it will be good."
"Third, these wood can be used more. Not just to make short bows, but we can also set up more defenses. On the way back, I communicated with Bai Ya. He knows many hunters' traps. We can
It would be impractical to set up more and bigger traps to deal with people, but those flying squirrels are beasts. We have a huge advantage in intelligence."
"Fourth, I think this is also the most critical and difficult to solve. Our time is actually very tight, but whether it is the hemp rope used to make bow strings or the short bow arms, they all need to be dried. Making bow strings and short bows,
It will take at least one day. It will take at least two days to dry. There will be very little time left for us to train."
As before, Cang Xu provided a lot of sound advice to Zhen Jin.
Zhen Jin nodded, Cang Xu was still as reliable as ever.
Zhen Jin has always believed that Cang Xu is the best candidate to take charge of officials. Scheduling personnel is not that simple. In this regard, Zi Di does not have enough experience. Yellow algae and blue algae are good at fighting. According to Zhen Jin’s understanding,
The brothers in this team have no achievements in commanding. All they can do is lead the charge.
In response to Cang Xu's distress, Zhen Jin smiled and calmly took out the potion.
The next moment, Zhen Jin saw Cang Xu's eyes suddenly light up.
Zhen Jin said: "I have already made preparations for this."
"There are two medicines here. One can be applied to the bow arm, and the other can quickly dry the bark that has just been torn off. It can be done in one night."
"But please note that the shelf life of this medicine is only one day."
These potions were temporarily prepared by Zidi.
Zhenjin discussed the crossbow with Zidi before, and these medicines were the main result.
Cang Xu was overjoyed: "With these, that would be great."
There was not enough food, so time was of the essence.
The potion may seem trivial, but it actually solved the biggest problem facing the exploration team.
Zhenjin then accepted Cangxu's fate and was responsible for leading the team members to cut the trees.
He also ordered Bai Ya to collect food, accompanied by Huang Zao, and be responsible for the safety of Bai Ya and others. On the other hand, he also had to continue to clean up the area around the camp.
Huang Zao has a bronze-level strength. Even if he can't activate his fighting spirit, his combat effectiveness is higher than that of an ordinary warrior.
"It's just that as a result, everyone has been assigned to the logging team and the search team. There is no one around the logging team to act as a guard." Cang Xu said sadly.
The exploration team was originally relatively large, but when Zhenjin took over, there were only a dozen people left. Later, it suffered from poisoning incidents, and its combat power and physical strength declined overall. The mission that originally took one person may now take one and a half,
Even two. Therefore, the manpower is very tight.
"Don't worry, I will be the guard of the logging team myself," Zhen Jin said.
Cang Xu immediately felt relieved, the area near Zhenjin must be the safest place!
He originally thought that Zhenjin would protect Zidi. Although her strategic significance on this island has declined a lot, Zidi is a magician after all.
Cang Xu pondered: "In this case, do you want to accept the fate of blue algae to guard the camp?"
Zhen Jin shook his head: "No, detecting the enemy's situation is very important. Lan Zhao still has to explore the details of the flying squirrel community. He can do it alone. The others are not strong enough, and it will be a drag if they go."
Cang Xu frowned and reminded: "Then the safety of Lord Zi Di..."
Zhenjin smiled: "I communicated with her, and she stayed alone in the camp. She is also a pharmacist and has the means to protect herself. If there is any danger that is difficult to solve, our logging team will be there
I can also provide immediate reinforcements near the camp."
Cang Xu had no objections. He knew that the exploration team was short of manpower, and Zhen Jin had done his best by arranging it this way.
