Chapter 2: Incredible
He saw a myriad of cyan algae on a rock at the base of the tree, which he recognized as lichens, which were common in damp forests.
His mind shows that lichens are also known as ground fungus, ground softness, sweet potato skin, etc., which are a combination of fungi and algae, generally growing in dark and damp places, dark black, a bit like soft black fungus, lichen is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, zinc, and calcium. In the book of traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that lichen is cold and slippery, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, astringent and invigorating qi.
He looked at the lichens that adhered to the stone surface, crystal clear, full and bright colors, and at first glance their leaves were containing sufficient water, he looked around him, there were many such algae plants in the dark corners, and the survival knowledge stored in his mind told him that the lichens in front of him could solve the problem of water shortage in his body.
But how do you get the water stored in their bodies?
He thought about it, and there was a way, he took off his body, turned around and crawled on the ground, carefully selected the brightly colored and full clean lichen, and then accumulated them on his body, and after accumulating a large pile, he leaned back against a tree trunk, sat up on the ground, he wrapped these lichens tightly with the body, and then raised his head, his hands were high above his head and squeezed the body, the force increased from light, and slowly squeezed the lichen inside, and then there were crystal droplets of water seeping out from the body, and he couldn't wait to suck it up。
The moisture of the lichen slowly crossed his dry throat and reached his stomach, making him feel extremely comfortable, but also making him greedy, and he gulped hard to allow the water oozing from the lichen, like a newborn calf sucking breast milk for the first time, which intoxicated him.
With the water entering his body, he threw out the lichens that had dried up and lost their moisture, and then stood up.
The "Ding Dong" system rang a crisp bell. "Congratulations to the host for solving a puzzle with survival skills, and the system rewards you with an achievement point. ”
He couldn't help but joke: "This is too little achievement." ”
This is the system also changed a relaxed and happy tone and said: "This desert island is full of dangers, the more problems you solve, the more achievement points you will get, and it is not an unattainable dream to build a private empire in the future, with aircraft and cannons." But there is only one prerequisite......"
"On what terms?"
"That's you have to be able to survive first. ”
"You're right, food and water are the first things I need to survive, and that's something I need to solve urgently. ”
He slowly walked deeper into the woods, he still had to find some water to quench his thirst, and he couldn't quench his thirst with these lichens alone, because they were cold, although they could quench their thirst, but drinking too much would cause diarrhea. Diarrhea is not a good thing here, it can kill people.
Due to the intake of water in his body, his stomach and intestines began to function normally, his stomach gurgled and his hunger gradually intensified.
He found a pair of sticks in the woods, and walked deeper into the woods, which were dense and full of branches. Every step is very difficult, and he has to constantly guard against the dangers that come around him at any time, which is extremely exhausting and physical.
Hulala......
Puff ......
With the sound of leaves, the sound of branches breaking and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came into his ears one by one, scaring him three, what is the situation?
He looked for the sound of sound, and when he fixed his eyes, there was a brief pause in his heart, and he was dumbfounded.
Through the gap in the branches and leaves of the forest, he saw a huge python writhing on the ground, the snake's waist diameter was more than half a meter thick, all blue-green, mixed with white diamond-shaped patches, and the thick waist was twisting, tightly contracting.
Mu Xiaobai saw that the snake's body curled up a prey, the prey head was huge, with a diameter of one meter, the black bristles on the head were erect, like a steel needle, its mouth became conical, two pairs of fangs were exposed, more than half a meter long, and turned upward, Mu Xiaobai recognized that this was a wild boar.
The python contracted its body tightly, and the bound boar kept stabbing his body with its fangs. Every thorn makes the python's skin bloom.
The python finally couldn't bear the pain, slightly loosened the tense body, and at this moment, the wild boar broke free like lightning, and the car-like body quickly climbed up the tree along the trunk of a tree, and flew from the top of Mu Xiaobai's head to another tree with great flexibility, and ran away, the python chased after him closely, and chased away from Du Xiaobei's side.
The python stretched out its body, at least twenty meters or so.
For a time, the sound of the trees breaking and breaking the branches on the trees came from near and far.
Mu Xiaobai's head was blank at this time, and he couldn't speak, if he could urinate, he had already experienced the warmth and sourness of incontinence at this time. It is surprising that the pig is so big and the snake is so long, but it is not unusual. But it was the first time he had ever seen a wild boar walk up a tree, and he had never heard of it before.
This land was a little unusual, and when he reacted, he said that he didn't want to stay here any longer, and ran to the beach with his feet outstretched.
"Lao Tzu is dead, and he will not enter this wood. ”
When he reached the beach, it took him a long time to settle down, and his hunger and thirst returned, more than before, and he had to continue looking for food and water, only this time he searched carefully along the beach to the right.
At last he walked to the right of the beach, and saw at the edge of the woodland several trees, not very tall, but standing gracefully, hanging from the fruit of the barrier, shaped like bananas, three chambers, cracked into three petals, and the survival knowledge in his mind told him that they were traveler's banana trees.
Rainwater can be stored in the leaf sheath of the traveler's banana, and when it rains, the huge leaves carry the rainwater down the petiole and flow into the petiole trough. The lower part is wide, tightly packed with petioles. So that the rain only in and out, dripping without leakage, plus the petiole itself smooth skin and coated with a layer of waxy skin powder. It can not only effectively prevent water evaporation, but also improve its own drought resistance.
People often use a knife to make a small cut in the base of the petiole, and the stored water immediately gushes out. The petiole of the traveler's banana can store several catties of water, and the small opening will automatically close, and it can provide drinking water for people after a day.
Mu Xiaobai couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly found a sharp stone, and couldn't wait to make a cut in the petioles, and a stream of clear water gushed out, and a stream of brain was taken over by Mu Xiaobai's mouth. He didn't stop until he drank so much that his belly bulged and he burped.
He felt like he had been reborn and bursting with life.
The sun was about to meet the sea level, and the roars of wild beasts began to sound in the jungle, and the scene of the two carnivores fighting just now flashed in his mind from time to time, and he still had a palpitation, and he knew with his toes that there must be many dangers here, and the night was the time when carnivores frequently hunted and hunted.
For his own safety, he told himself that he had to make a fire. Fire can not only repel wild beasts, but also serve as a signal for help, and in the night, the fire is dazzling, so that you can see the ships passing on the sea or the low-flying planes in the air, so that you can be rescued.
He quickly found a lot of dry branches and dead grass around him, and when he came back he had an extra handful of vine roots.
When he started to make a fire, he found a dry branch pointed out by his thumb, and then cut the middle part down with a sharp stone slab, and found a dry and solid trunk that touched the recess, and stood upright, and his hands began to rub the erected branch back and forth.
Half an hour later, there were sporadic sparks in the hollows of the trunk due to friction and heat, and he quickly added tiny dead grass, and blew on the fire with his mouth, and the sparks ignited the dead grass, and flames burned on the dead grass.
The spark burned vigorously from small to large, Mu Xiaobai filled a few dead branches up, picked up a handful of fresh vine rhizomes and walked out, he came to a shallow reef area, saw a few palm-length fish swimming in the shallow water, he smashed the tender roots of the plant in his hand with stones to make a tender white lotion, and threw them all into the water.
Five minutes later, the fish were clinging to the surface with their bellies open.
"This fish vine root is really easy to use. He said to himself with a grin.
For centuries, people have used the fresh roots of the fish vine plant to mash them in water and use their emulsion to poison fish. Its toxicity is harmful to fish and harmless to humans.
"The host succeeded in making a fire and solving the problem of hunger. Each awards one achievement point. The host now has a total of three achievement points. ”
Mu Xiaobai had a burst of joy in his head, and there was a survival encyclopedia of Bei Ye and De Ye in his head, and it was too easy to obtain achievement points.
Back at the campfire, he skewered the fish with a twig and roasted it over the fire, sizzling with oil and gas wafting with an enticing aroma, and as soon as the fish was cooked, he couldn't wait to bite into it......
After eating and drinking, he lit two bonfires around himself to ensure his safety, and then sat on the beach, feeling the darkness of the night around him, recalling the experience of the day, a little melancholy, a little lonely.
Suddenly, he heard a cry for help.
