Chapter 5 Exploration and unexpected encounters

That's right, I want to be an archer.

As for the reason, I haven’t heard that spearmen have been lucky since ancient times. Have archers been prone to bad luck since ancient times?

Okay, the above is pure nonsense.

In forest areas, spears are inconvenient to use. It must be very painful if the weapon gets stuck by branches because it is too long at critical times.

Besides, without absolute strength, you will lose sooner or later in close combat. Long-distance kiting is the way to go.

If you are unable to avoid being shot from close range, I have other ways to remedy the situation, but it is just an idea at the moment.

A wooden handmade bow and arrows were whittled from the remaining wood, and the arrows were made of sharpened shale (damage +1).

During the production process, the system icon flickered inexplicably. When I opened the character bar, I found that the skill points had increased by 100 points inexplicably.

After being confused for a while, I realized that it was almost evening, and then I remembered that I traveled to this world at this time yesterday. Do I automatically get 100 skill points every day?

However, even the "Production Mastery" skill requires 0 skill points to upgrade from level F to level E. It is expected that more will be needed in the future, and 100 points per day seems a bit low.

Forget it, it’s good to have it. If you add up, it won’t be a small number in the future.

After the arrow is made, string the bow to 7 minutes and aim at a tree trunk about 30 meters away.

The flying arrow traced a shallow arc, and the arrow successfully penetrated into the tree trunk. Unfortunately, the stone arrowhead split into two halves and could not be recovered for further use.

System prompt: Acquire "Bow Proficiency"

Well, it is similar to other weapon proficiency, it increases attack and accurate skills, the training items are not full, and the attributes added by upgrading are unknown.

I poked the low-temperature kiln that was baking with a branch, and after confirming that the fixing clay had completely hardened, I extinguished the bonfire in the furnace, and a freshly baked low-temperature kiln was completed.

Low-temperature kiln: Firing objects that can be formed at lower temperatures.

The cave dwelling seemed pretty good, and although I wanted to try it out, it was already evening, so it would be better to finish dinner and go to bed.

As for dinner, it’s still grilled fish…I hate grilled fish!

A night of silence.

In the early morning of the next day, the silt collected from the river bed last night was pressed with wooden boards to make soil blocks with a length, width and height of 4:2:1, and was placed in the low-temperature kiln and stacked along the kiln wall.

Fill three-quarters of the cave dwelling, leaving space for ventilation, and then light a fire to heat it.

After you feel that the temperature in the kiln is high enough, close the kiln door.

It is expected that it will take a long time to finish firing, so you can take the opportunity to do something else.

Like breakfast... damn grilled fish.

After washing the mud on his hands with the river water, he put on his back a long bow and a quiver made of bark, hung the stone ax on his waist, picked up his spear, and the fully armed Lucky E-hanger appeared.

It's better not to think about it any more, it's too shameful.

As shown on the map, you can reach the foot of the mountain by walking up the river for about 10 miles.

You can go to the foot of the mountain and have a look. The map records that the level of the monsters there is relatively low and should not be too dangerous. You can look for other food on the way and improve your food.

I was lucky. After walking along the river for less than 3 miles, I found fruits that seemed to be edible.

The golden fruit hangs on the crown of the tree about 4 meters above the ground. The trunk is straight without any branches. It is basically impossible to climb up with bare hands.

I estimated the diameter of the tree trunk, and based on the durability of the stone axe, I estimated that the tree would be broken into pieces before the ax fell.

Even if it can be tipped over, how many days can this fruit be guaranteed not to spoil?

It’s better to eat and pick them now, it’s not yet certain whether they can be eaten.

Use a stone ax to shave a few strips of bark from the nearby tree trunk and make a bark noose.

I tested the toughness with my hands, then put it on the trunk of the fruit tree. Put both ends of the bark rope on my feet, climbed up the trunk, and easily climbed to the top of the tree in less than a minute.

Sitting on the branch of the tree crown, I picked a golden fruit, peeled off the skin, tore a small piece of pulp with my hands and put it in my mouth.

It is sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good. Judging from the taste, the pulp should contain a lot of starch.

Looking around, there were many golden fruit trees scattered on both sides of the river.

Make a note of this place in your mind, and climb down the tree trunk again with a rope.

Continue to move up the river. After about 4 miles, the river bank begins to become steeper, the river water becomes more rapid, and the rolling waves stir up piles of black sand.

Black sand?

I picked up some black sand and put it in my hand. I looked at it carefully and rubbed it with my fingers.

It's dark in color and full of weight. Could it be iron sand ore?

Iron Ore Fragments: Can be smelted into iron blocks.

Take off the rope you just used to climb the tree from your waist, and use your craft skills to process the untied bark into a small sieve.

Go to the area with the most black sand in the river and use a sieve to separate the river sand from the black sand.

In the process of collecting black sand, I accidentally sifted out a small golden stone. I picked it up and took a closer look. The stone contained green-gold metal. Could it be gold ore?

Gold Ore Fragments: Gold can be extracted.

System prompt: Acquire the skill "Gold Panning"

Alas, it is really gold, but it seems to be of no use now.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, wrapped the gold ore in the fabric that he had torn off from his skirt and hung it around his waist, and then continued to use the "gold panning" skill to separate the black sand.

With the support of "gold panning" skills, more than ten kilograms of black sand were separated and piled on the river bank in just a few minutes.

Use a stone ax to shave several long pieces of bark from nearby tree trunks and weave them into a small frame.

Cut several pieces of thatch from the haystack and twist them into two pieces of hemp rope, tie them to the small frame, and a backpack is completed.

Use the remaining bark to stick to the inner wall of the backpack to prevent the iron sand from leaking through the gaps. Pack the iron sand and carry it on your back.

I adjusted the position of the bow and quiver on my back to make it more comfortable to carry, and then headed back home.

Well, there is no mansion, just a tree hole.

I didn't expect that there is an open-pit iron mine. As long as it can be processed properly, I can jump directly from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. It's so cool.

Humming a little tune, I walked back slowly. After turning the last corner, I was just a few steps away from returning. I stopped and looked wary.

The remaining fish eaten in the past few days and the place where the fish's internal organs were buried have been dug up, and a giant dog is gnawing on it. When I found this giant dog, the giant dog opposite also found me.

This giant dog is about 1.3 meters tall, a little taller than me visually. It is dark gray all over, has one eye, and has unhealed wounds on its face. Its tail is turned down. Damn it, it’s a wolf!

He lowered his hands downwards, and the more than 10 kilograms of backpack on his back slid along his arms to the ground behind his back. He held the spear tightly with both hands, pointing the spearhead directly at the giant wolf, and his whole body was on guard.

A wolf acting alone? It seems to be an old wolf that failed in the battle for leadership.

Even so, judging from the size comparison, there is basically no chance of escaping, and there is no chance of winning if you fight head-on, so you can only resort to clever tricks.

The giant wolf opposite was also looking at me, moving towards me slowly, its eyes full of the aggression of its prey, its tongue hanging out of its mouth, panting rapidly, damn, it was about to attack!

The giant wolf quickly rushed across a distance of nearly 30 meters and jumped up 5 meters away from me. What a strong jumping ability!
