Zhen Jin first explored the entire oasis, and the environment in the oasis was unexpectedly peaceful and tranquil.
The footprints by the lake are basically gun scorpions and acid lizards. It is easy to speculate that there are only two large groups of gun scorpions and lizards near this oasis.
The water of the lake cannot be explored, so it is not known what is hidden in the lake.
However, according to the traces left by the beasts by the lake, there seems to be no sign of fighting, which may indicate that there is no threat hidden in the lake.
There are many little creatures.
For example, small lizards, normal scorpions, spiders, and jumping mice.
Occasionally, birds in the sky will land on a certain coconut tree.
After everyone discussed it, Zhenjin began to cut down these thick coconut trees.
After picking all the coconuts, he also processes the trunks, splits them into dry firewood, and uses the core part to make the body of the short bow.
Zi Di prepares medicines. Compared with the barren desert, the oasis contains much richer materials.
Cangxu is responsible for twisting the hemp rope.
So far, there are only five people left in the exploration team, two of whom can't even walk on their own, and among the remaining three, Cang Xu is old and Zidi is only a fifteen-year-old girl, so the labor force has been sharply reduced.
Fortunately, there are not many exploration team members, and there are fewer things needed.
One morning passed, Zhenjin had made five short bows. Zidi finished the preliminary grinding process and began to test the medicinal properties of various materials.
In the afternoon, Zhen Jin went to the lakeside to dig deep and got a lot of soil.
Using the soil and fire, Cang Xu began to make clay pots.
In the evening, Zhenjin no longer cuts down the coconut trees, but climbs to the top to pick the coconuts.
The coconut shell is very hard. Even if it falls to the ground, it will remain intact as long as it does not hit a stone.
Acupuncture also harvests large quantities of palm leaves.
Like coconuts, both the palm leaves and the coconut trees themselves exude a strange smell of sulfur.
With Zidi's potion, the first clay pot was made.
During dinner, the clay pot stand successfully boiled a pot of hot water over the fire.
Drinking hot water and eating barbecue, Zhenjin and others all felt a strong sense of happiness.
"This is the most extreme enjoyment in the world!" Zidi exclaimed sincerely.
Morning of the third day.
Whoosh.
A wooden arrow flew out, and a bird on the crown of the coconut tree was frightened and flew away.
Zhenjin sighed under the tree.
"Although the first short bow was made, I am not good at adjusting the bow and the accuracy of the arrows is very poor."
After moving his left shoulder, most of the previous injury has recovered and it no longer affects Zhenjin's archery.
Watching the bird flying away, Zhen Jin took out a wooden dart and threw it based on his feeling.
The moment it was thrown, the Needle Gold activated the core and mutated the arm into a bear arm. Then, almost instantly, the mutation was canceled again.
The speed of the dart was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, it hit the bird quickly and accurately and fell to the ground with it.
Zhenjin walked over and picked up Feiniao's body. The wooden dart was deeply inserted into Feiniao's chest, and only the tail of the dart remained inside Feiniao's body, almost piercing it and flying out.
Nowadays, bird meat is no longer precious, and there is still a lot of lizard meat. But bird feathers are very important, as they are the source of material for arrow feathers. Bird bones are also useful.
Last night, Zhenjin told herself to try not to use the demonic core in her heart.
But without bird feathers, there is no way to make qualified arrows. In addition, the number of birds in the oasis is very rare, which cannot be compared with forests and rainforests, so Acupuncture cannot easily let go of any flying bird.
Carrying the flying bird, Zhen Jin returned to the original place and found a brand new basket made of rattan.
The basket was filled with mud from the lake.
Breakfast has been eaten, and Zhenjin’s original goal was to dig out mud and transport it back in baskets.
When he saw a flying bird on his way back, the young knight didn't let it go and shot it directly.
Carrying the bird in one hand and the basket in the other, Zhenjin returned to the temporary camp.
Zidi is setting up a tent in the camp.
This kind of tent is very simple. The skeleton is made of several split slender wooden strips to build a stable triangular structure, and then palm leaves are spread on the surface. The palm leaves and wooden strips are then tied together with rattan or hemp rope.
.
The large palm leaves are layered on top of each other, and the tent floor is covered with fluffy hay, successfully creating a small private resting place that is warm and windproof.
It is expected that five such small tents will be set up, one for each of Zhenjin, Cangxu and others.
Zidi has already built one and is building the second one. According to this progress, no one will sleep in the open air tonight.
"There is an unexpected gain." Zhenjin handed the bird to Zidi.
Zidi raised her head and smiled at Zhenjin: "Just put it on the ground. Here, this is the medicine I prepared. It has almost no smell to humans, but it can repel mosquitoes and poisonous ants."
Zhenjin took the medicine and checked the white buds and blue algae.
The two men lay motionless on the grass, not far apart.
Zhen Jin leaned over and touched Bai Ya's forehead and found that his high fever had subsided and his breathing was smoother than before.
This is a good sign.
Zhen Jin was slightly happy. Bai Ya was better at bow tuning than him, but he couldn't count on him yet.
"I hope he wakes up as soon as possible." Zhen Jin silently blessed in his heart.
If Bai Ya wakes up, he will need to be fed water, but can take the initiative to eat on his own. He will eat more than now and get more nutrients, which will be more conducive to his recovery.
And cyanobacteria...
He is already awake.
He curled up on the ground, still motionless, with a dull expression and numb eyes, like a lifelike puppet.
He is a bronze-level Dou Qi practitioner, and his physical foundation is much stronger than Bai Ya's. But his mental state is very bad, and he has no interest in the food placed in front of him.
Zhen Jin sighed softly.
The young knight is not good at persuading and comforting, and more importantly, in his heart, he also has complicated feelings about Blue Algae, who killed his own brother in order to survive.
Even the act of comforting blue algae, Zhenjin felt faintly afraid.
Is this a kind of forgiveness and indulgence of self-darkness?
If you continue to indulge, will you become bottomless?
Will he allow his heart core to erode his heart? The noble Templar will no longer exist, but will be replaced by a dark and corrupt evildoer?
Zhen Jin carried the basket of soil and walked out of the temporary camp to a nearby open space.
This place was originally a meadow with lush grass that was higher than a person's knees, but now the grass has been burned away.
A fire pit was dug out of the exposed open space, and Cang Xu was covering it with moist soil around the fire pit.
The building he built has already taken shape, like a towering cylinder surrounding the fire pit.
"This is an earth kiln. Firewood is burned underground. Here is the grate, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Firewood is burned on the lower floor. This structure allows air to flow in faster and the fire burns more vigorously." Cangxu introduced.
The prototype of the earthen kiln was not even as high as Zhenjin's knees, but even the complete earthen kiln was not half as tall as Zhenjin.
Zhen Jin looked down and immediately saw the bottom of the earth kiln, which was separated by a furnace bridge. The furnace bridge was a round mud brick, about thirty centimeters in diameter, and the thickness could not be seen clearly. The mud brick furnace bridge had obviously been dried.
There are small round holes on it, evenly distributed. Zhen Jin can imagine that once the earthen kiln starts to operate and the dry firewood below burns, the flame will rise from these small round holes to the top of the furnace bridge.
Although this earth kiln is small and crude, once it is built, it will be far more stable than a bonfire, the flame will burn at a higher temperature, and its practical value will be greater.
"With this earthen kiln, we can bake bricks and tiles, and initially we can build wooden houses with tiles. If the earthen kiln is expanded in scale, or more, we can bake bricks with clay, and then we can build bricks."
It’s a tile-roofed house.” Cang Xu continued to explain.
Zhen Jin couldn't help but admire: "Scholar Cangxu, is there anything else you don't know?"
Cang Xu smiled and shook his head: "There is too much knowledge that I don't know. In fact, I have only mastered this knowledge in recent years. I have long wanted to go to the wilderness continent and perfect my books. I have studied a lot
According to the information about the Orcs, this is actually their life skills. The Orcs are much behind us humans, and most of them are still in the tribal era. In the vast wilderness continent, there are very few Orc city-states."
"So, is this mud enough?" Zhen Jin pointed to the basket full of mud.
Cang Xu made some calculations: "It's more than enough to build an earthen kiln, but I'm afraid it's not enough to make pottery pots. I have to trouble Lord Zhenjin to make another trip."
Of course Cang Xu doesn't plan to bake any bricks or tiles.
After experiencing two teleportations, everyone knows that as long as the teleportation array is there, the houses and camps built on this island will have no practical value.
The reason why clay pots are made is because they need a container to store water.
Zhenjin, Cangxu, and Zidi each have a water bag. But filling these water bags with water will not be enough for drinking water reserves.
They need more water, and the more water, the safer it is.
The oasis is just a place to rest, and they have to set off and trek in the desert.
With large reserves of drinking water, everyone can sustain themselves for a long time even if there is no new water source. This allows them to withstand greater risks.
Zhenjin poured down all the mud by the lake and left the open space with the empty basket in his hand.
He did not go to the lake immediately, but sprinkled a circle of medicine around the camp.
No threats were found.
For now, this oasis is safe.
But for things like going out, it’s better to do it with needle gold.
No matter whether it is Zidi or Cangxu, it is difficult to resist the sudden attack.
When Zhenjin returned to the camp again, Zidi was already building the third tent.
The progress is so fast simply because this kind of private tent is too small.
A few wooden sticks build a frame, and then it is covered with layers of natural palm leaves. When people get into the tent, they basically can only lie flat, covering their heads and feet. It is difficult to turn over in place. This kind of pure
The natural tent is like a small green coffin with jerry-built materials, and the space is very cramped.
When she found out that Zhenjin was back, Zidi was immediately relieved and started working again.
She half-knelt on the ground, her upper body got into the tent, and seemed to be adjusting the palm leaves inside. Her lower body remained outside, and her little brown leather boots were no longer covered by the magic robe. Because of her posture, the magic robe was close to the
The buttocks outline a touching curve. Seeing this scene, Zhen Jin couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
