After deciding on a plan to find the clay, Chen Zhe and Yan'er left the camp and embarked on a new journey.

However, the two of them did not rush on the road, and before leaving, Chen Zhe stood on the watchtower and carefully observed the situation on the mountain.

There are no signs of large wildlife in sight, no natural disasters, and there is a gentle slope due north from the camp, making it a good way to climb the mountain.

The two of them prepared their equipment, and after saying goodbye to the Qiao sisters, they slowly marched from the northern hillside to the mountain.

This direction is also the direction of moving away from the sea and into the depths of the island.

The farther you go, the more lush and tall the island's vegetation becomes, and the endless forest is in front of you, obscured by intricate branches and twisting vines.

Under Chen Zhe's leadership, the two of them did not walk fast, and every few steps, Chen Zhe would wield a blood-drinking knife to cut an arrow on the thickest tree trunk next to them, marking the direction in which they were heading.

Seeing this scene, Yan'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Chen is really careful, so that we won't get lost." ”

"Yes. Chen Zhe said solemnly, "Don't underestimate any primeval forest, human beings are very small in the primeval forest, tall trees will make human beings lose their way, if we don't leave a mark, we are at risk of being trapped here." ”

Yan'er nodded seriously and said, "Then we must be careful." ”

"Hmm. Chen Zhe replied, and casually left a mark on a towering tree next to him.

The two of them continued to move forward, shuttling through the dense primeval forest, in addition to leaving marks along the way, Chen Zhe was still looking around.

Seeing Chen Zhe's performance, Yan'er was a little curious.

It stands to reason that the two of them are looking for clay this time, and the clay should be in the soil, but Chen Zhe didn't look down at the soil, but looked up and around, what is the reason?

Curious, the naïve girl asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Chen, what are you looking for?"

"yes, I'm just looking for clay. Chen Zhe smiled.

"But the clay should be on the ground, why are you looking for it with your head up?" Yan'er didn't understand.

Chen Zhe patiently explains: "Clay is often found in a fixed place, such as a freshwater river beach or the bed of a dry river, and clay can only be found in such a place. So our first step is not to look directly for clay, but to look for river beaches or dry river beds. ”

"Oh......" the girl finally understood, and whispered, "I see. ”

Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Okay, now that you understand, then accompany me to find a qualified location next." Keep an eye out for the plants around you, if you notice that the plants suddenly become lush and there are some low plants overgrown, it means that we are probably close to the water source and may have found a river beach or river bed. ”

"Okay. Yan'er nodded.

On the first day she came to the island, she followed Chen Zhe to find a water source, so now she has some experience.

The two of them continued to walk along the primeval forest, and after walking for about an hour, Yan'er suddenly pointed to an area in front of them and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, look, there are a lot of flying insects over there!"

Chen Zhe looked up and saw a group of flying insects flying among the weeds not far away.

These flying insects gather into a ball, which looks like an exploding head from a distance, sometimes rising in clusters, sometimes falling in clusters, and it looks like a numbing scalp.

But Yan'er's discovery is crucial, because where a large number of flying insects appear, there must be a water source, and once a water source is found, it is possible to find clay.

"Yan'er, well done. ”

Chen Zhe praised from the bottom of his heart.

Yan'er smiled shyly and said, "Then Brother Xiao Chen, let's hurry up and take a look." ”

After saying that, the little girl wanted to go to the place where the insects gathered, to find the riverbed or the riverbank.

But Chen Zhe immediately grabbed her, shook his head and said, "Silly girl, don't be impulsive." There are a lot of bugs over there, and we're going to die now. ”

Yan'er was startled, and then asked worriedly, "Brother Xiao Chen, are insects so terrible?"

"Of course. Chen Zhe said, "There are many kinds of flying insects in the tropics, and some of them are highly virulent or have viruses, once they are stung by them, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"That'...... What should I do then?" Yan'er looked at Chen Zhe helplessly.

Chen Zhe thought for a moment, then set his eyes on the surrounding trees.

All kinds of organisms in nature are often mutually reinforcing, and in the same living environment, no species is invincible.

In other words, there must be natural predators of these bugs near the water source, which can be used to drive them away.

Eyes swept over the surrounding plants one by one, and the item upgrade system made out their names one by one.

[Item Detected: A mature rubber tree.] 】

[Item detected: A mature palm tree.] 】

[Item detected: A mature melaleuca tree.] 】

When he saw this, Chen Zhe's gaze stopped, and he vaguely recalled that the melaleucae seemed to be a plant of the myrtle family, which he had noticed when he was doing his homework before participating in the wilderness survival.

Plants in the myrtle family have a very important feature, that is, they can be used to repel mosquitoes.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhe hurriedly took out the charcoal and branches he carried with him, picked up some dry firewood, and lit a fire on the spot.

Yan'er obediently helped on the side, and asked while helping, "Brother Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?

"Pretty much. Chen Zhe smiled, then raised his hand and pointed to the mille-feuille tree not far away, and said, "Yan'er, do you see that tree? That tree with strange bark and lush foliage." ”

"Hmm. Yan'er nodded, "I see." ”

Chen Zhe said: "That tree is called a mille-feuille, it is a plant of the myrtle family, the leaves of this tree produce thick smoke when burned, which can have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, you can help me pull some leaves down, the more the better." ”

"Okay, okay!" Yan'er nodded immediately, got up and ran to the mille-feuille.

Although this tree grows tall, the branches and leaves are more evenly distributed, and in addition to the top of the tree, the trunk also has a large number of branches and leaves, so Yan'er can pull it with a little tiptoe.

The little girl is a real person, Chen Zhe asked her to pull more, she really pulled more, and finally pulled a tree under the part of the bald, she walked back with a full of mille-feuille leaves.

"That's it!" said Yan'er happily.

"Good. Chen Zhe nodded, then took out a few leaves and rolled them up to light them on the bonfire, and said, "I'll leave it to me next." ”
